4 SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY
THE HEARING ON APRIL 3, 2026
Sergeant Guerin
Sergeant Guerin testified that he supervises the Gilroy Police Department's AntiCrime Team, whose primary focus is investigation and suppression of criminal street gang activity and narcotics crimes. He stated that his team also handles other enforcement duties, including illegal tobacco enforcement. Sergeant Guerin explained that City Hall had received complaints that several smoke shops in Gilroy were potentially selling illegal products, including flavored nicotine and other illegal items. In response to those complaints, his team was directed to investigate to see if the complaints about violations of state and local law were true. Sergeant Guerin next provided an overview of three enforcement actions involving The Rock Zone.
First, on November 15th, 2024, he directed his team to conduct an undercover operation at The Rock Zone. He stated that Officer David Ludden entered the store in plainclothes and purchased Zimo wintergreen flavored nicotine pouches and a Polk a Dot Magic Mushroom chocolate bar. Sergeant Guerin stated the mushroom bar case was referred to the Santa Clara County District Attorney due to potential psilocybin content, a controlled substance. He also stated the flavored nicotine matter was referred to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA).
Sergeant Guerin explained that after the District Attorney's Office subsequently informed him that criminal charges would be filed against Adel Ammari related to the mushroom bar sale, a search warrant was obtained and executed on March 6, 2025.
Officer Don Tong was the lead investigator, and CDTFA agents participated. During the search, officers on the scene located two additional Polk a Dot mushroom bars, like the one that was purchased during the November 15th undercover operation. Sergeant Guerin testified that CDTFA agents separately seized flavored tobacco products. He acknowledged that he did not have specifics on what they took; he just knew it was a several boxes of flavored nicotine product.
Sergeant Guerin testified that in response to complaints that the Rock Zone was continuing to sell flavored, tobacco product, his team conducted a compliance inspection on January 8, 2026, with City code enforcement officers. CDTFA was not present and Corporal Doug Remmick led the inspection. He stated that approximately 306 items of flavored tobacco products were located and confiscated.
5 Corporal Remmick
Corporal Remmick testified regarding two matters: the November 15, 2024, undercover operation and the January 8, 2026, compliance inspection.
Corporal Remmick stated that an undercover operation was conducted on November 15, 2024, at which time he directed Detective Ludden to enter The Rock Zone in an undercover capacity. He testified that Detective Ludden purchased some wintergreen flavored nicotine pouches and a magic mushroom bar, which claimed to be mushroom or psilocybin. He acknowledged that at the time of the operation, he was not sure if the bar actually contained psilocybin. However, once the items were booked into evidence and the mushroom bar was sent to the lab in Santa Clara County, lab testing confirmed the presence of psilocybin in the bar.
Corporal Remmick also testified that he led the compliance inspection on January 8, 2026. Upon arrival, he made contact with an employee, whom he identified as Amy Lorraine Davis. He stated he spoke with her throughout the inspection, explaining the process. He also stated he spoke by phone with the owner, Adel Ammari, who did not object to the inspection. During the inspection, approximately 306 items of flavored tobacco products were confiscated. He said those items are currently being held at the Gilroy Police Department pending transfer to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
Detective Ludden
Detective Ludden testified regarding his participation in the November 15, 2024, undercover operation at The Rock Zone. He said he entered the store in plainclothes, without a uniform or identifying information, and approached the employee at the front.
He asked whether the store carried "Zyn" nicotine pouches. The employee indicated they were out of Zyn’s due to a shortage but showed him similar flavored nicotine pouches called "Zimo." Ludden said he purchased one Wintergreen Zimo flavored nicotine pouch.
Detective Ludden continued by stating that while he was looking around the store, he saw some little chocolate bars that were called Polk a Dots, with labeling stating the bars contained mushrooms and had 200mg of magic per piece. He said the store employee told him if he wanted to microdose to take four tabs, and that anything more than that would make you feel it way more “and you start like, trippin.” Detective Ludden testified he purchased both the Zimo pouch and the Polk a Dot bar and then met with Corporal Remmick following the purchase.
Officer Tong
Officer Tong testified regarding the execution of the search warrant on March 6,
6 2025, at The Rock Zone. He stated that on that date, he and members of the Anti-Crime Team executed a search warrant based on the prior undercover investigation described by Corporal Remmick and Detective Ludden. The warrant was predicated on the psilocybin mushroom bar purchased by Detective Ludden in November 2024. CDTFA agents accompanied the team and participated in a simultaneous compliance check for flavored tobacco violations.
Officer Tong stated that during the search, officers located multiple items of contraband, including flavored tobacco products and additional psilocybin mushroom bars. He testified that all items seized by the police department were booked into evidence at the Gilroy Police Department and are still being held pending transfer to the CDTFA. Officer Tong added that CDTFA agents also seized a significant quantity of items, which remain in their possession.
Steve M. Defilippis
After the city concluded its presentation, respondent’s counsel, Mr. Defilippis renewed his request for a stay or continuance. His argument on behalf of those requests, the colloquy with the Hearing Officer regarding them, and the ruling on them are addressed and stated in the Order Continuing Hearing and Denying Request for Stay, issued April 6, 2026. During his presentation, Mr. Defilippis expressed concern that the testimony of the city’s police officers contained many conclusive statements about what was contained in the 306 items seized in the January 2026 inspection. He contended that they were hookah tobacco products that appear on the Unflavored Tobacco List (“UTL”) as permitted items, meaning they may have been improperly seized. He questioned whether a comparison with the UTL had been made to determine if these confiscated items are listed or unlisted products. He added that he had submitted documents related to the UTL for the record but had not yet been able to compare the UTL against the specific seized items because he lacked a detailed inventory list.
In response to Mr. Defilippis’s argument, Sergeant Guerin stated that after the UTL was published in December 2025, his team compared seized product from other smoke shops against the list and returned items that turned out to be legal. He stated he did not believe any products seized from The Rock Zone needed to be returned but deferred to Corporal Remmick for confirmation.6 When asked by the Hearing Officer whether any of the products seized in January 2026 appeared on the UTL as legally authorized products, Corporal Remmick stated he would need to review every product individually to 100% confirm his answer.
6 Sargeant Guerin also stated that prior to the UTL's publication, his team relied on guidance from the CDTFA in enforcing the flavored tobacco ban, and that in some cases product was seized that later proved to be legal and was returned.
7 In continuing the hearing until April 17, 2026, the Hearing Officer requested that the city address the question of whether the flavored tobacco seized from The Rock Zone on January 8, 2026, was on the UTL. In addition, the Order Continuing Hearing and Denying Request for Stay issued April 6, 2026, requested that the parties address Mr.
Ammari’s status with respect to being listed under the name ATML, Inc., the “Business Owner(s)” on Business License Number 16606725.
THE HEARING ON APRIL 17, 2026
The City’s Presentation
Arica Hernandez
Arica Hernandez works for the City of Gilroy as a Supervising Accounting Technician. She addressed the question about Mr. Ammari’s status with respect to being listed on Business License Number 16606725. She testified that Business License Number 16606725 was issued to ATML, Inc. Mr. Ammari’s name was listed below on the License as the contact person for the corporation, not as the licensee.
Sargeant Guerin
Sargeant Guerin requested that Corporal Remmick address the Hearing Officer’s question of whether the seized flavored tobacco from The Rock Zone was on the UTL.
Corporal Remmick
Corporal Remmick testified that after the hearing on April 3, 2026, he reinventoried the products seized during the inspection of The Rock Zone conducted on January 8, 2026. He stated that he counted 314 items and compared those items to the UTL currently posted on the California Department of Justice website. He stated that 126 items, consisting of cigars and loose-leaf cigar wraps, were on the approved list.7 Of the remaining 188 illegal products, he testified that a majority of those items were hookah or flavored shisha tobacco products. He explained that there was a partial exemption for the sale of flavored shisha tobacco where the retailer restricts entry to anyone under 21 years of age. He stated that The Rock Zone does not restrict entry like that.
Respondent’s Presentation
Mr. Defilippis first asked that his exhibits be placed in evidence. See Exhibits 2-6, inclusive. He then called Corporal Remmick, Sargeant Geurin, Officer Tong and Officer Ludden as witnesses. The Hearing Officer ruled that Municipal Administrative Hearing 7 Seargent Guerin later offered that they would be returned to the Respondent.
8 Policy, Resolution No. 97-17, had no provision to subpoena witnesses or compel testimony, and that the officers were not required to testify.8 The officers declined to testify. Mr. Defillipis next requested that The Rock Zone employees Elizabeth Vera and Amy Davis testify. Both did so under oath.
Elizabeth Vera
Ms. Vera testified that she has been an employee of The Rock Zone since 2004.
She testified that the store identifies everyone who purchases tobacco products to make sure they are 21 years old. She said if someone comes in the store, they must establish that they are 21 to purchase tobacco products, including hookah tobacco. She said there are multiple signs inside the store that advise you must be 21 years old to purchase tobacco products. She said she believed the hookah tobacco seized on January 6, 2026, was legal to sell because she checked to see if the people are over the age of 21 years old.
She added that before 2025 and publication of the UTL, there was nothing to help determine if products were illegal.
Ms. Vera testified that she was present during the police searches of March 6, 2025, and January 8, 2026. She said that hookah tobacco was seized during both searches, adding under questioning that hookah products seized in January 2026 were previously present in the store in March 2025, but not taken then. She reiterated that she thought those products were legal to sell because she “cards” to make sure people are over the age of 21.
Amy Davis
Ms. Davis testified that she has been an employee of The Rock Zone for two years, since the middle of 2024. She stated she was present during the search of the store conducted in January 2026.
Ms. Davis testified that at the time of the January 2026 search, there was a sign at the front door of the store stating you must be 21 years old to enter. She said the sign had been there since she started her employment two years ago. She testified the sign states:
“Under 21 – No Tobacco, No Vape, We Card, Please have ID ready.” She was asked by Mr. Defilippis when operating the store, if someone looks close to the age of 21, does she ask for identification. She responded she asked for identification not only of persons appearing close to 21 years old, but anyone purchasing tobacco products. She explained that if an older person was not carded, a younger customer over 21 in the store would get upset.
8 As Mr. Defilippis was aware, Section IV of the Municipal Administrative Hearing Policy, Resolution No. 97-17, prohibits cross-examination. Attempting to call the officers as witnesses in his direct case or presentation was an attempt to evade that prohibition and not permitted on this separate ground.
9 She described her experience during the January 8, 2026, search. She was told to stand in a corner and, in the beginning, not to touch her phone. She said she was not allowed to examine what was taken from the store and did not ask for an inventory. She believed all items taken related to hookah tobacco were legal so long as she was carding people to make sure they were over 21.
City’s Rebuttal
Corporal Remmick
Corporal Remmick initially responded to the claim of partial exemption that allows for the sale of hookah or shisha tobacco. He said for a tobacco retailer to legally sell hookah tobacco, the retailer must be in compliance with all laws, which included having a valid TRP from the city during the search on January 8, 2026.
Arica Hernandez
Ms. Hernandez testified that the TRP for The Rock Zone expired on December 31, 2024. See Exhibit 7. She stated that no reapplication for a TRP was submitted until February 2026, when a TRP erroneously issued prematurely while enforcement activities were in process and the permit application remained under review. See Exhibit 8. 9 Sargeant Guerin
Sargeant Guerin testified that if The Rock Zone did not have a TRP, it could not sell hookah tobacco. He said that when his team conducted its investigation of smoke shops, he was told The Rock Zone did not have a TRP. He also commented on the restriction on selling hookah tobacco as it pertains to persons under 21 years of age. He said that sale was permissible only if minors were prohibited from entrance into the store; i.e. persons under 21 cannot enter the premises.
Officer Ludden
Officer Ludden testified that when he conducted his undercover inspection of The Rock Zone on November 15, 2024, he was not asked for identification when he purchased products that day. He said that undermined The Rock Zone employees’ testimony that they card everyone despite how old they appear. 9 At this point, Mr. Difilippis interjected that The Rock Zone had a retailer’s license for the period 10/2/2025- 10/1/2026. He then admitted the License was from the State CDTFA, not the city.
10 Steve Defilippis Closing
Mr. Defilippis concluded by stating that there was no UTL to guide the Respondent until December 2025. With respect to restricting entry to persons under 21, he argued that The Rock Zone is not just a tobacco shop; there are numerous other products sold there. He stated that the hookah tobacco sale restriction is for the purchase of that product, not entry to the premises.
ANALYSIS
A. Applicable Law
1. Local License Requirement
GMC §13.2 requires that all businesses operating in the City of Gilroy must obtain a city-issued business license. Additional regulatory permits may be required depending on the business type.10 In this case, The Rock Zone was required to have a TRP to operate as a tobacco retailer. See §13.68. Selling tobacco without a valid TRP is unlawful and a violation of both §13.2 and 13.68. Similarly, selling flavored or otherwise prohibited tobacco products violates both §13.2 and §13.68.
2. California Health & Safety Code §104559.5
California Health & Safety Code §104559.5(b)(1) prohibits the sale of flavored tobacco products as follows:
(b)(1) A tobacco retailer, or any of the tobacco retailer's agents or employees, shall not sell, offer for sale, or possess with the intent to sell or offer for sale, a flavored tobacco product or a tobacco product flavor enhancer.
Shisha or hookah tobacco is subject to an exemption from this prohibition if all four requirements of §104559.5(c) are met:
(c) Subdivision (b) does not apply to the sale of flavored shisha tobacco products by a hookah tobacco retailer if all of the following conditions are met:
10 GMC §13.2: “The carrying on of any business, trade, calling, profession, or occupation without first having procured a license from the city so to do, or without complying with any and all regulations of such business, trade, calling, profession, or occupation, shall be deemed a separate violation of this chapter for each and every day that such business, trade, calling, profession, or occupation is carried on.”
11 (1) The hookah tobacco retailer has a valid license to sell tobacco products issued pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 22971.7) of Division 8.6 of the Business and Professions Code.
(2) The hookah tobacco retailer does not permit any person under 21 years of age to be present or enter the premises at any time. (3) The hookah tobacco retailer shall operate in accordance with all relevant state and local laws relating to the sale of tobacco products. (4) If consumption of tobacco products is allowed on the premises of the hookah tobacco retailer, the hookah tobacco retailer shall operate in accordance with all state and local laws relating to the consumption of tobacco products on the premises of a tobacco retailer, including, but not limited to, Section 6404.5 of the Labor Code.
(Emphasis added.)
Thus, the exemption for shisha tobacco from the prohibition in subsection (b)(1) requires the exclusion of persons under 21 from entering the store (no entry at all) and compliance with all relevant state and local laws relating to the sale of tobacco products.
3. The Unflavored Tobacco List (UTL)
In 2020, Senate Bill 793 banned flavored tobacco products (subject to certain exceptions) and tobacco product flavor enhancers in California. See Health & Safety Code, § 104559.5. Assembly Bill 3218, which went into effect on January 1, 2025, amended the flavored tobacco ban put in place five years earlier by Senate Bill 793 and established the Unflavored Tobacco List (UTL), a list of covered tobacco products that are permissibly unflavored under the law. See Health & Safety Code, § 104559.1(a).
Products not appearing on the UTL are subject to seizure, and state and local law enforcement agencies are authorized to seek civil penalties against retailers of products not appearing on the list. Assembly Bill 3218 required the Attorney General to establish and maintain the UTL on or before December 31, 2025. See Health & Safety Code, § 104559.1(m). Thus, to be sold legally in California, a covered tobacco product must be included on this list; otherwise, it is classified as a prohibited flavored tobacco product.
4. Revocation of a Business License
The grounds for and process by which a business license may be revoked, suspended or modified is governed by GMC §13.45, which states in its pertinent part:
12 In the event that the chief of police has reasonable cause to believe and does believe that any licensee or other person employed by or representing such licensee is violating any of the provisions of this chapter or any other law or ordinance relating to the business of the licensee, or is conducting or has conducted or operated such business so as to be detrimental to the public morals or the public welfare, all facts and information relating to such alleged violation or conduct shall be reported to the city administrator. Prior to taking action affecting the license, the City Administrator, at his sole discretion, shall elect to proceed according to either subsection (1) or subsection (2) below. (Emphasis added.) ........
(2) The matter shall be set for an administrative hearing to revoke, modify, or suspend the license pursuant to the city’s administrative hearing policy, if such a policy has been adopted by the city council.
City Council Resolution No. 97-17 adopted the municipal administrative hearing policies that govern this proceeding. It provides that the formal rules of evidence shall not apply; cross-examination shall not be permitted; no discovery is authorized; and no oath is required for a witness to testify (however, a witness may request that his or her own testimony be provided under oath, which factor may be considered by the Hearing Officer when weighing the evidence).
B. Evaluation of the Evidence and Reasons for the Decision
1. Did The Rock Zone Operate without a TRP?
When Police Chief Smithee recommended initiation of the business license revocation process for The Rock Zone on January 23, 2026 (see Exhibit 1), The Rock Zone did not have a TRP. Thus, this matter proceeded as a business license revocation matter, not a TRP revocation.
The testimony of Ms. Hernandez, supported by Exhibits 7 and 8, suggests that The Rock Zone did not have a regulatory permit from the city for over a year between the expiration of The Rock Zone’s TRP on 12/31/2024 (Exhibit 7) and the issuance of the subsequent TRP to The Rock Zone ATML INC, with an issue date of 2/4/26 (Exhibit 8).
This would mean that Rock Zone also did not have a TRP when the city conducted its inspection of the store on March 6, 2025, and January 8, 2026. However, as discussed below, the record as a whole does not support such a finding.
In his post-hearing submission, Mr. Defilippis included a copy of Mr. Ammari’s Tobacco Retailer Permit Application dated 1/8/25 (Exhibit 10, p.15), and the Regulatory Permit issued to The Rock Zone with an issue date of 1/31/2025 and an expiration date of
13 12/31/2025 (Exhibit 10, p.18, referred to as “Regulatory Permit 012805”). Regulatory Permit 012805 largely fills the gap between 12/31/2024 and 2/4/2026. Because of the submission of this additional 2025 Regulatory Permit, the Hearing Officer took administrative notice of the city’s regulatory permit files in the Finance Department.
There is no hard copy of Regulatory Permit 012805 in the Finance Department’s administrative records, nor is the permit contained within the excel data base in which TRPs are stored. However, the city’s files contain a hard copy of the receipt for payment by Adel Ammari of the permit fee to renew The Rock Zone “Tobacco Permit”, dated 1/21/2025, in the sum of $100.00. See Exhibit 11. Based on the evidence showing the issuance of Regulatory Permit 012805, the Hearing Officer finds that The Rock Zone was reissued Regulatory Permit 012805 on 1/31/25, but that it was not properly filed in the city’s physical files and electronic data base. This explains why Ms. Hernandez did not see Regulatory Permit 012805 when she was checking the data base during her testimony.
Substantial evidence supports the following findings. The Rock Zone had a TRP (Exhibit 8) during 2024 when the November 15, 2024, undercover operation took place.
There was a one-month gap when there was no effective TRP from the expiration of Exhibit 8 on 12/31/2024 to the issuance of Regulatory Permit 012805 on 1/31/2025. The next gap commenced on 12/31/2025, when Regulatory Permit 012805 expired. That gap continued until 2/4/26 when the permit reflected in Exhibit 8 commenced. Thus, The Rock Zone had no TRP when the January 8, 2026, store search/inspection took place and when Chief Smithee initiated this proceeding on January 23, 2026.
The sale of tobacco products without a TRP during these short gaps violates §§13.2 and 13.68. However, respondent’s efforts to obtain regulatory permits to comply with the city’s permit requirements during this enforcement period is a mitigating factor in determining the appropriate penalty to be imposed.
2. The Search on November 15, 2024.
The undisputed evidence in the record is that an undercover inspection of The Rock Zone was conducted on November 15, 2024, during which Officer Ludden purchased one Zimo wintergreen flavored nicotine pouch and a “Polk a Dot” mushroom magic bar, which claimed to be mushroom or psilocybin. Corporal Remmick testified that lab testing in Santa Clara County confirmed the presence of psilocybin in the bar.11 Respondent presented no evidence regarding this operation. The Officers’ testimony provides substantial evidence that the sale of these two illegal products occurred on 11 Psilocybin is a Schedule I controlled substance. Health & Safety Code §11054. A person who possesses for sale a controlled substance may be punished by imprisonment pursuant to Health & Safety Code §11378.
14 November 15, 2024.12
3. The Search on March 6, 2025.
Similarly, it is undisputed that a search warrant for The Rock Zone premises was obtained and executed on March 6, 2025, at which time Officer Don Tong was the city’s lead investigator, and CDTFA agents participated. Officer Tong testified that the warrant was predicated on the psilocybin mushroom bar purchased by Detective Ludden on November 15, 2024. Sargeant Guerin and Officer Tong testified that during the search, officers on the scene seized two additional Polk a Dot mushroom magic bars, like the one that was purchased during the November 15th undercover operation. The Officers’ testimony provides substantial evidence that these two illegal products were available for sale on March 6, 2025, in violation of California law.
Sargeant Guerin and Officer Tong also testified that CDTFA agents separately seized flavored tobacco products during the search conducted March 6, 2025. Ms. Vera testified that she was present when hookah tobacco was seized by the CDTFA during the that search. However, Sargeant Guerin acknowledged that he did not have specifics on what the CDTFA took. Officer Tong stated that the boxes of flavored nicotine product seized by CDTFA agents remain in their possession. Ms. Vera provided no specific details about the seized products. Thus, the record does not provide an adequate foundation to include the seizure of tobacco products by the CDTFA on March 6, 2025, as grounds to base the revocation or suspension of The Rock Zone’s business license.
4. The Inspection of January 8, 2026.
Corporal Remmick inventoried the products seized during the inspection of The Rock Zone conducted on January 8, 2026. He counted 314 items and compared those items to the UTL currently posted on the California Department of Justice website. He admitted that 126 items, consisting of cigars and loose-leaf cigar wraps, were on the approved list. Of the remaining 188 illegal products, he testified that a majority of those items were hookah or flavored shisha tobacco products.
At the hearing, the Officers explained that there is a partial exemption for the sale of flavored shisha tobacco where the retailer restricts anyone under 21 years of age from entering the store premises. They stated that The Rock Zone does not restrict entry but allows persons under 21 to enter the store. The employee witnesses for The Rock Zone admitted that persons under 21 were allowed to enter the store but relied on their testimony that they “carded” everyone who purchased tobacco products to assert the sale of hookah tobacco was legal. In 12 Evidence Code §664 states: “It is presumed that official duty has been regularly performed.” The Officers’ testimony satisfies the substantial evidence test that constitutes the City’s burden of proof in this administrative proceeding.
15 addition, Mr. Defilippis argued that the hookah tobacco sale restriction prohibits the purchase of that product by minors, not entry by minors into a tobacco retailer’s premises.
In fact, as stated above, Health & Safety Code §104559.5(c)(2) “...does not permit any person under 21 years of age to be present or enter [a hookah tobacco retailer’s] premises at any time.” In his post-hearing submission, Mr. Defilippis admits that §104559.5(c)(2) contains a “requirement for barring entry into the premises for minors.” He contends, however, that this requirement only came into existence with the UTL and, therefore, “did not exist when the first search occurred in March 2025,” and “had just come out in December 2025, very shortly before the January 8 search.” Exhibit 10, p.1. He argues this gave little time for the respondent to learn these requirements.
Actually, Health & Safety Code §104559.5(c) and its “no entry” requirement for minors in subsection (2), has been in effect since December 2022. Section 104559.5, which includes the hookah flavored tobacco restrictions in subdivision (c), was originally enacted on August 28, 2020, as part of Senate Bill 793. Its implementation was delayed by a referendum challenge, and it took effect on December 21, 2022, after it was upheld by voters as Proposition 31. Thus, the “no entry for minors” provision had been in effect for some time before the seizure of the flavored hookah tobacco by the CDTFA on March 6, 2025, and the Gilroy Police Department on January 8, 2026.
As stated above, California Health & Safety Code §104559.5(b)(1) prohibits the sale of flavored tobacco products. The Rock Zone’s practice of allowing minors to enter its store while it sold shisha or hookah tobacco disqualified it from the safe harbor in subsection (c) and violated Health & Safety Code §104559.5(b)(1), thereby subjecting its business license to revocation or suspension pursuant to GMC §13.45.
5. The Consideration of Mitigating Factors
Respondent’s Exhibit 10, pp. 1-2, requests consideration of various factors in determining the appropriate penalty in this case. In seeking probation, Mr. Defilippis contends that the owner had a good faith belief that hookah tobacco was legal and that his belief that barring entry to minors was not required to sell flavored hookah tobacco was reasonable. He supports this contention with statements that the laws governing tobacco sales are complex and were even more so before publication of the UTL. He asserts that this is shown by the fact that hookah tobacco was left in the store following the March 2025 search, and that an inventory of the 314 items seized on January 8, 2026, resulted in a finding that 126 items were legal and the majority of the remaining 188 items were hookah tobacco. However, the record in this proceeding does not support Respondent’s portrait of complexity and request for leniency for respondent’s prohibited sale of flavored shisha tobacco.
First, the rules about the sale of hookah tobacco were in effect years before
16 publication of the UTL. As stated above, the “no entry” requirement for minors in Health & Safety Code §104559.5(c)(2) went into effect in December 2022. Second, there was no confusion on the part of the Police Officers who testified that California law required the exclusion of minors from the store to sell hookah tobacco. And, as to The Rock Zone employees’ understanding of the legality of selling hookah tobacco, Ms. Vera testified that hookah tobacco was seized during the searches on both March 6, 2025, and January 8, 2026. Her testimony that hookah products seized in January 2026 were previously present in the store in March 2025, does not give rise to confusion about “whether the signage and carding of patrons was sufficient, or if there needed to be an absolute exclusion” as contended by Mr. Defilippis in Exhibit 10, at p. 2. The identify of products on the UTL is the subject of separate regulations from the “no entry” requirements in §104559.5(c) that must be satisfied to legally sell shisha or hookah tobacco.
The Hearing Officer is aware of the signage the owner posted giving notice that sales to anyone under 21 was prohibited and the testimony of The Rock Zone employees that they card all purchasers of tobacco products. However, “carding” patrons does not comply with the clear requirements of §104559.5(c) and the employees’ testimony was undermined by the testimony of Officer Ludden who stated that he was not asked for identification when he purchased products during his undercover inspection of The Rock Zone on November 15, 2024.
On the other hand, Respondent has demonstrated it had TRPs in 2024, 2025, and 2026, and the violation for selling tobacco products without a regulatory permit is limited to the month from 12/31/2024 to 1/31/2025 and the thirty-five days between12/31/2025 to 2/4/2026.
In addition, Mr. Ammari’s counsel has repeatedly represented that his client has sought to achieve full compliance with the law, and in this regard, during the April 3, 2026 hearing, Community Development Director Goei acknowledged that Mr. Ammari had remedied the Notice of Violation dated March 3, 2026, for unpermitted construction identified by the Code Enforcement Division during its inspection of The Rock Zone on January 8, 2026. See NOV in Exhibit 1.
6. Disposition
The undercover purchase of the Zimo Wintergreen flavored nicotine pouch on November 15, 2024, and the sale and possession for sale of the Polk a Dot mushroom magic chocolate bars on November 15, 2024, and again on March 6, 2025, constitute violations of law warranting a penalty pursuant to §13.45. Similarly, the sale of flavored shisha or hookah tobacco without complying with requirements of Health & Safety Code §104559.5(c) supports imposition of a penalty pursuant to §13.45.
17 GMC §13.45 grants the Hearing Officer the authority to revoke, modify, or suspend The Rock Zone’s business license. In imposing an appropriate penalty, the Hearing Officer is mindful of Mr. Defilippis’s representation that Mr. Ammari has been in business for over thirty years within the city and that this is the first revocation proceeding to which he has been subjected. In choosing not to revoke The Rock Zone’s business license, the Hearing Officer is also mindful that revocation of a business license has the additional impact of §13.46, which provides: “If a license is revoked under Section 13.45..., no license of a similar nature, shall be issued for a period of one (1) year from the date of said revocation to the same licensee, nor to any other applicant acting on his behalf.”
After consideration of mitigating factors and the duration and recurrence of the proven violations of state laws and city ordinances relating to the business of the licensee over the enforcement period, The Rock Zone’s business license shall be modified so that it may not sell any “tobacco product” as that term is defined in GMC §13.66 for six months from the effective date of this Decision. The Rock Zone’s current Regulatory Permit similarly shall be modified to prohibit the sale of tobacco products for the same period.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Business License Number 16606725 was issued to the business named The Rock Zone operating at 1323 First Street, Gilroy, California.
2. The Business Owner to whom Business License Number 16606725 was issued is a corporation, ATML, Inc (the “Licensee”).
3. The character of the business licensed in Business License Number 16606725 is tobacco retailer.
4. On November 15, 2024, an undercover inspection of The Rock Zone was conducted by the Gilroy Police Department, during which an undercover police officer purchased from the Licensee one Zimo wintergreen flavored nicotine pouch and a “Polk a Dot” mushroom magic bar containing psilocybin, a Schedule I controlled substance.
5. A search warrant for The Rock Zone premises was obtained and executed on March 6, 2025, during which time Gilroy Police Officers seized two additional Polk a Dot mushroom magic bars that were in the possession of the Licensee with the intent to sell or offer for sale.
6. CDTFA agents also participated in the search conducted on March 6, 2025, and during that search, CDTFA agents separately seized flavored tobacco products.
18 7. On January 8, 2026, Gilroy Police Officers conducted a compliance inspection of The Rock Zone during which 314 tobacco product items were seized. After those items were compared to the UTL currently posted on the California Department of Justice website, 126 were on the approved list and found to be legal. Of the remaining 188 illegal products, a majority of those items were hookah or flavored shisha tobacco products in possession of the Licensee with the intent to offer for sale.
8. Based on the violations discovered during the operations conducted on November 15, 2024, March 6, 2025, and January 8, 2026, Chief of Police Scot Smithee recommended the city proceed with a business license revocation process for The Rock Zone pursuant to GMC §13.45.
9. Notice of Hearing in this proceeding was served on the parties on March 3, 2026.
10.The hearing in this proceeding commenced on April 3, 2026, and concluded on April 17, 2026. The record closed on April 20, 2026.
11.Steve M. Defillipis represented the respondent business, business licensee and Adel Ammari in this proceeding.
12.The Rock Zone has had a Tobacco Retailer’s Permit, also known as a TRP or Regulatory Permit, during the city’s enforcement/investigation period from November 15, 2024, though January 23, 2026, except for an initial one-month gap from 12/31/2024 to 1/31/2025, and then from 12/31/2025, until 2/4/2026.
13.The Rock Zone had no TRP or Regulatory Permit when the January 8, 2026, store search/inspection took place and when Chief Smithee made his recommendation initiating this proceeding on January 23, 2026.
14.At the hearing, respondent and its employees admitted that they allowed persons under 21 to enter the store’s premises.
15.At the hearing, respondent and its employees contended that because they “carded” or inspected the identification of all purchasers of tobacco products, the sale of flavored shisha tobacco products was legal.
16.If any statement under the above heading is determined to be a conclusion of law, it is to be treated as such.
19 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. ATML, Inc, the Business Owner to whom Business License Number 16606725 was issued, is a corporation that does not possess a Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
2. As a Tobacco Retailer, The Rock Zone was required to obtain a TRP to operate as a tobacco retailer. Selling tobacco without a valid TRP is unlawful and a violation of both GMC §13.2 and §13.68.
3. California Health & Safety Code §104559.5(b)(1) provides that a tobacco retailer, or any of the tobacco retailer's agents or employees, shall not sell, offer for sale, or possess with the intent to sell or offer for sale, a flavored tobacco product or a tobacco product flavor enhancer.
4. California Health & Safety Code §104559.5(c)(2) requires that a hookah tobacco retailer not permit any person under 21 years of age to be present or enter the retailer’s premises at any time.
5. The Rock Zone’s employees allowed persons under the age of 21 to enter the store’s premises while offering for sale flavored shisha or hookah tobacco products in violation of the requirements of Health & Safety Code §104559.5(c).
6. Substantial evidence supports the finding that The Rock Zone illegally sold a Zimo Wintergreen flavored nicotine pouch and Polk a Dot mushroom magic chocolate bar on November 15, 2024, possessed with the intent to sell two Polk a Dot mushroom magic chocolate bars again on March 6, 2025, and possessed with the intent to sell flavored shisha or hookah tobacco products without complying with requirements of Health & Safety Code §104559.5(c) on March 6, 2025 and January 8, 2026.
7. The purchase of a Zimo Wintergreen flavored nicotine pouch from an employee of the Rock Zone by an undercover Gilroy police officer on November 15, 2024, constitutes a violation of law relating to the business of the licensee and conduct detrimental to the public welfare warranting imposition of a penalty pursuant to GMC §13.45.
8. The sale of and possession with the intent to sell Polk a Dot mushroom magic chocolate bars containing a Class 1 controlled substance on November 15, 2024, and again on March 6, 2025, constitute violations of law relating to the business of the licensee and conduct detrimental to the public welfare warranting imposition of a penalty pursuant to GMC §13.45.
9. The possession with the intent to sell flavored shisha or hookah tobacco on March 6, 2025, and January 8, 2026, without complying with requirements of Health & Safety
20 Code §104559.5(c) constitute violations of law relating to the business of the licensee and conduct detrimental to the public welfare warranting imposition of a penalty pursuant to GMC §13.45.
10.GMC §13.45 grants the Hearing Officer the authority to revoke, modify, or suspend The Rock Zone’s business license upon a finding that a licensee, or a person employed by or representing the licensee, has violated any provision of Chapter 13 or any other law or ordinance relating to the business of the licensee, or has conducted the business so as to be detrimental to the public morals or public welfare.
11.The Hearing Officer has authority to impose a modification or condition on Business License No. 16606725, including a prohibition on the sale of tobacco products, as a lesser sanction in lieu of full revocation, consistent with the remedial purposes of Chapter 13 and the Tobacco Retailer's Permit provisions of Article VIII of Chapter 13.
12.The term "tobacco product" as used in this Decision has the meaning set forth in GMC § 13.66.
13.The violations established at this hearing, are serious, but do not, under the specific facts presented, warrant outright revocation of the Licensee's general business license at this time. A six-month prohibition on tobacco product sales is proportionate to the violations found and serves the public interest in promoting compliance with the City's business license and tobacco retail regulations.
14.If any statement under the above heading is determined to be a finding of fact, it is to be treated as such.
DECISION AND ORDER
Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the Hearing Officer hereby ORDERS as follows:

5. Notice of Compliance. The Licensee shall, within five (5) business days of the Effective Date, remove or conspicuously cover all tobacco product displays, signage, and advertising at the premises that may indicate the availability of tobacco products for purchase. Failure to comply with the terms of this Order may result in further enforcement action, including but not limited to revocation of Business License No. 16606725 and/or the Tobacco Retailer's Permit.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy Setting the Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 2026-27 (FY27) for the Gilroy Community Library Project Bonds
Meeting Date: June 15, 2026
From: Matt Morley, City Administrator
Department: Finance
Submitted by: Cindy Murphy, Finance Director
Prepared by: Cindy Murphy, 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 2026-27 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 authorized the issuance of 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 improvements to library facilities.
Approximately $6 million remains of the bond proceeds, which are currently programmed for a library improvement project in the design phase.
The bonds were refinanced in FY19 (the 2019 Series A and 2019 Series B) to take advantage of the low-interest-rate environment. The refinancing saved property owners’
interest costs by securing a lower interest rate on the principal, thereby reducing the required levy rate.
As of June 1, 2026, the outstanding principal balance on Series A is $6.2 million and is expected to mature in February 2039. As of June 1, 2026, the outstanding principal balance on Series B is $13.9 million, with maturity in February 2040.
ANALYSIS
The required FY27 tax rate is $0.013 per $100 of assessed valuation, which represents approximately $13 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.
ALTERNATIVES
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Adopting the tax rate for FY27 will ensure that the County can promptly assess, collect, and remit to the City the levied amounts to pay the debt service due in FY27.

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, 2027, and August 1, 2027, it is necessary to levy a tax upon all taxable property in the City at the rate of 0.0130% of assessed valuation, based on the estimated assessed values for all rolls (secured, unsecured and utility) for fiscal year 2026-2027.
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 and interest on the Bonds coming due and payable on February 1, 2027, and August 1, 2027, is 0.0130% 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 2026-2027 property tax bill and collected by the County.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with the County of Santa Clara for Crime Laboratory Services and Authorize the City Administrator to Execute the Agreement Meeting Date: June 15, 2026
From: Matt Morley, City Administrator
Department: Police
Submitted by: Brandon Sanchez, Police Chief
Prepared by: Patricia Vigil, Management Analyst
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS:
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Gilroy and the County of Santa Clara for Crime Laboratory Services; and
2. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the MOU and any related documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Gilroy Police Department relies on the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Crime Laboratory for essential forensic services used in the investigation and prosecution of criminal cases. Approval of this MOU will formalize the City’s participation in a cost-sharing agreement for Crime Laboratory services for a ten-year term. The agreement establishes a consistent and equitable methodology for allocating costs among participating jurisdictions and ensures continued access to specialized forensic services that would otherwise need to be procured through alternative, potentially higher-cost sources.
BACKGROUND
The Gilroy Police Department relies on the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Crime
6.11. Laboratory to provide specialized forensic services necessary for the investigation and prosecution of criminal cases. These services support complex investigations and are critical to the successful preparation of cases for court proceedings.
Pursuant to Government Code section 51350, the City of Gilroy and the County of Santa Clara may enter into agreements for shared services. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding formalizes the City’s participation in a long-term costsharing agreement for Crime Laboratory services and defines the services to be provided, cost allocation methodology, and general terms and conditions.
ANALYSIS
Under the proposed MOU, the County will provide Crime Laboratory services to the City, including audio analysis, bloodstain pattern analysis, DNA and forensic biology, computer and cell phone forensics, firearms examinations, impression evidence, latent print processing, trace evidence, video analysis, toxicology, and controlled substances analysis.
The agreement establishes a cost-sharing methodology whereby forty percent (40%) of the Crime Laboratory’s total annual operating costs are recovered from participating cities. Eighty percent (80%) of the City’s share is based on its proportion of Major Case submissions over the prior five years, and twenty percent (20%) is based on the City’s proportion of the County’s total population. The County will notify the City of its annual cost obligation in advance of each fiscal year to allow adequate budget planning.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may reject the recommendation to approve the MOU. This is not recommended as it would require the City to obtain forensic services through external vendors at potentially higher cost and with possible delays in criminal investigations.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The City’s annual cost for Crime Laboratory services will vary based on the established cost-sharing formula and the Crime Laboratory’s total operating expenses for the prior fiscal year. Historically, the City's cost has averaged about $105,000/year and is funded by Fund 240 - Prop 172 Public Safety Sales Tax Fund. Funding is included in the Police Department’s annual operating budget.

Memorandum of Understanding between the
County of Santa Clara and City of Gilroy for
Crime Laboratory Services
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE
COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA AND THE CITY OF GILROY
FOR CRIME LABORATORY SERVICES
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is made and entered into by and between the CITY OF Gilroy (CITY), a municipal corporation, and the COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA (COUNTY), a political subdivision of the State of California (each a Party and collectively the Parties). CITY and COUNTY are agencies that work together to provide services related to the investigation and prosecution of criminal cases in Santa Clara County.
The District Attorney's Crime Laboratory provides services related to this activity. The services related to forensic casework would otherwise need to be procured by CITY through other sources. As a result, and pursuant to Government Code § 51350, both parties desire to enter this agreement defining CITY's payments to COUNTY for Crime Laboratory services, as defined below.
Term: This agreement shall commence upon the last signature date and continue for ten years or until its termination by either party in accordance with Section H of this MOU.
Crime Laboratory services shall include and be defined as review and analysis of any of the following:
Audio Analysis
Bloodstain Pattern Analysis
DNA/Forensic Biology
Computer Forensics (including Cell Phones)
Firearms Examinations
Impression Evidence
Latent Print Processing
Trace Evidence
Video Analysis
Toxicology
Controlled Substances Analysis
COUNTY and CITY both acknowledge that the Crime Laboratory calculates the costs of its services billed to CITY as follows:
Each calendar year, the total cost of running the Crime Laboratory is determined. The cost includes Crime Laboratory personnel salaries and benefits, supplies, and other operating costs (including equipment and maintenance) associated with providing Crime Laboratory services.
Also, each calendar year, statistics are generated on the total number of Major Case submissions to the Crime Laboratory. The number of Major Case submissions by each law enforcement agency is expressed as a percentage of the total number of Major Cases submitted by all City agencies. Major Case submissions are defined as cases requiring Audio Analysis, Bloodstain Pattern Analysis, DNA/Forensic Biology Analysis, Computer Forensics (including Cell Phones), Firearms Examinations, Impression Evidence, Latent Print Processing, Trace Evidence Analysis, or Video Analysis, that are assigned a single laboratory number by the Crime Lab, and as such different Major Cases may have widely different numbers of individual evidence items requiring a wide range of analyses.
Note: Toxicology and Controlled Substances Analysis are not considered Major Cases.
This cost-sharing payment shall be calculated using the Crime Laboratory's total operating costs for the prior fiscal year. COUNTY agrees to recover forty percent (40%) of those costs from the participating cities. The CITY's cost sharing payment will be determined as follows:
- 80% of the payment will be calculated based on the CITY's proportion of all Major Case Submissions over the
Memorandum of Understanding between the
County of Santa Clara and City of Gilroy for
Crime Laboratory Services
prior five years (in order to mitigate year-to-year fluctuations in Major Case Submissions). - 20% of the payment will be based on the CITY's proportion of the COUNTY's total population, as of the end of the prior fiscal year. This population factor incorporates the costs of Toxicology and Controlled Substances cases.
CITY shall be notified of its payment amount in advance of the coming fiscal year to allow adequate budget planning.
A. ENTIRE MOU
This MOU and its Appendices (if any) constitutes the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties. It incorporates and supersedes all the agreements, covenants and understandings between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and all such agreements, covenants and understandings have been merged into this MOU. No prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding, verbal or otherwise, of the parties or their agents shall be valid or enforceable unless embodied in this MOU.
B. AMENDMENTS
This MOU may only be amended by a written instrument signed by the Parties.
C. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
CITY shall comply, and require its subcontractors to comply, with all applicable (i) requirements governing avoidance of impermissible client conflicts; and (ii) federal, state and local conflict of interest laws and regulations including, without limitation, California Government Code section 1090 et. seq., the California Political Reform Act (California Government Code section 87100 et. seq.) and the regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission concerning disclosure and disqualification (2 California Code of Regulations section 18700 et. seq.).
Failure to do so constitutes a material breach of this MOU and is grounds for immediate termination of this MOU by COUNTY.
In accepting this MOU, CITY covenants that it presently has no interest, and will not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, financial or otherwise, which would conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of this MOU.
CITY further covenants that, in the performance of this MOU, it will not employ any contractor or person having such an interest.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Award a Professional Services Agreement to Kimley-Horn for a Not-to-exceed Amount of $237,117 for the Development of the City of Gilroy Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action
Plan, Add the Project to the Capital Improvement Program, and Adopt a Budget Amendment Resolution to appropriate
Grant and Gas Tax Funds to the Project
Meeting Date: June 15, 2026
From: Matt Morley, City Administrator
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: John Doughty, Public Works Director
Prepared by: Susana Ramirez, Engineer
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Not Applicable
RECOMMENDATION
1. Award a Professional Services Agreement to Kimley-Horn for an amount not to exceed $237,117.25 for the development of the City of Gilroy Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan (Project) No. 26-RFP-PW-529, and authorize the City Administrator to execute the contract and associated documents;
2. Add the Project to the Fiscal Year 26 (FY26) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) with Project Number 801180; and
3. Adopt a resolution amending the FY26 budget within Gas Tax Fund (205) to appropriate $189,693.80 in FY 2024 SS4A Grant Funds to the Project, along with $47,423.45 in local match from the Gas Tax Fund balance, for a total of $237,117.25.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City was awarded a Fiscal Year 2024 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant for the development of a Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan (CSAP). The
7.1. CSAP aims to reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries through initiatives such as implementation guidance, a list of priority projects along the high injury network, and conceptual design plans for priority locations.
Staff received six proposals for the development of the City of Gilroy CSAP, which were evaluated by assigned personnel to determine which consultant was the most qualified to complete the work. After a round of interviews with three firms, staff concurred with recommendation of award of the contract to Kimley-Horn. The Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn to develop the CSAP is in the amount of $237,117.25, and the plan will be developed over the next year along with city staff, project stakeholders, and the community.
BACKGROUND
The SS4A program, administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), provides funding to support local agencies in creating safer roadways. The program aims to reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries through initiatives such as action plans and implementation projects. The City was awarded a $190,000 SS4A grant for the development of the City of Gilroy CSAP, which requires a 20% city match.
In October 2024, the City Council approved a resolution amending the budget for the City of Gilroy for Fiscal Year 2024-25 appropriating various grant awards, including the awarded SS4A grant. The City Council authorized the City Administrator to execute the grant agreement in February 2025.
The CSAP will study the most recent crash data to aid the City in identifying the factors that contribute the most to local traffic crashes. It will also better position the City to receive safety implementation funding from state and federal grant programs such as Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Safe Streets for All (SS4A), Active Transportation Program (ATP), and One Bay Area Government (OBAG).
ANALYSIS
The SS4A grant will fund the development of the CSAP. The plan will:
• Align with City and regional transportation planning documents such as the City's General Plan, Traffic Circulation Master Plan, Caltrans’ Strategic Highway Safety Plan, and the Safe Systems approach.
• Analyze collision data and roadway conditions to develop a prioritized list of safety improvements.
• Include funding, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation plans to address systemic traffic safety concerns. It will be data-driven and objective with many opportunities to engage stakeholders and the community to identify traffic safety concerns.
7.1. Approval of the CSAP will provide access to transportation grant funds which are only available to communities with adopted CSAPs.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council can choose not to award the Services Agreement, which will delay the implementation of a CSAP and affect the city's ability to secure grant funds to implement recommended safety improvements identified in the plan. This action would put $190,000 of grant money at risk as well as limit the ability of the City to compete for certain grant funding opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The total project cost and Services Agreement amount with Kimley-Horn is $237,117.25. The SS4A grant provides reimbursement funding of up to $190,000 and requires a 20% local match. Based on the project cost, $189,693.80 will be reimbursed through the SS4A grant and $47,423.45 will be funded with available Gas Tax Fund (205) balance.
The SS4A grant is a reimbursement-based grant. Grant revenues will be received after eligible project expenditures are incurred and reimbursement requests are submitted in accordance with grant requirements. Therefore, a budget amendment is required to appropriate both the anticipated grant reimbursement revenue and the required local matching funds for Project No. 801180, Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The development of the CSAP will implement community feedback through different efforts, including an online survey, public workshops, and outreach at community events. There will be an emphasis on inclusivity to ensure that at-risk and underrepresented groups are able to share feedback and help shape project recommendations. The completed CSAP will be shared with City Council at a future date.
NEXT STEPS
Upon City Council’s approval, the contract will be executed, and staff will work with the consultant, Kimley-Horn, to develop a final project schedule. The development of the plan is expected to take a year to complete.

1 City of Gilroy Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan Scope of Services
Task 1: Detailed Work Plan and Strategy
Task 1.1: Project Management and Work Plan Development
This task includes general project administration, including management of project staff, quality control, and project accounting.
Kimley-Horn will develop a comprehensive work plan that outlines project objectives, scope of work and task deliverables. We will maintain the project schedule which will include meetings, stakeholder and community engagement activities, and project deliverables.
Kimley-Horn will provide support to the City with the management of the SS4A Federal Grant, which is funding this project. Monthly invoices will be submitted to the City with required backup documentation for eligible expenses. Additionally, we will support the City with preparation of required quarterly progress and performance reports.
Task 1.2: Project Kickoff and Coordination Meetings
Kimley-Horn will coordinate a project kickoff meeting with City staff to discuss the goals and objectives of the Safety Action Plan with respect to crash reduction, partnerships, and community engagement. Administrative items will be discussed, including communication protocol, meeting frequency, progress reporting, scheduling and invoicing, and other relevant project information such as key milestones throughout the project and what defines success for this project. A summary of the meeting notes with key action items will be developed and distributed by Kimley-Horn.
This task includes up to twelve (12) virtual project coordination meetings.
Task 1 Deliverables:
Project kickoff meeting agenda and meeting notes
Project coordination meeting agendas and meeting notes Task 2: Stakeholder and Community Engagement
Task 2.1: Engagement Strategy
Kimley-Horn will collaborate with the City to develop and implement an engagement strategy that includes early involvement of key stakeholders and broad participation from the community. This strategy will include a detailed roadmap outlining stakeholder Exhibit B-1
2 coordination, outreach methods, and a timeline for engagement activities throughout the project lifecycle.
Task 2.2: Stakeholder Engagement
A stakeholder group will be established to serve as an advisory group for the Safety Action Plan. Kimley-Horn will facilitate the formation of this stakeholder group, which will include representatives from City departments (engineering, planning), public safety and enforcement agencies, fire district, public health professionals, Gilroy Unified School District, community members (including representative from senior community), and select regional partners. The task force will convene for two (2) facilitated virtual meetings, which will be both informative and interactive. These sessions will include presentations of crash data findings and preliminary safety analysis, allowing members to provide feedback and help shape project recommendations.
The stakeholder group will also review the list of potential priority locations and safety projects identified in the proposed network screening analysis. The stakeholder group will also play a key role in reviewing the Draft Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan report.
Task 2.3: Community Engagement
In parallel with stakeholder engagement, Kimley-Horn will lead a public outreach campaign designed to reach a diverse cross-section of Gilroy residents. This campaign will include the development of a dedicated project website link posted on the City’s website and hosted and maintained by Kimley-Horn, an online interactive survey, and two (2) public workshops. The online survey launch dates and timeline will be coordinated with City staff. The public workshops, to be hosted in English and Spanish,will provide opportunities for residents to share feedback on citywide and location-specific safety concerns and desired improvements. Kimley-Horn will also participate in tabling at two (2) local events, such as the Farmers Market, to promote the project and collect input directly from the community.
To enhance accessibility and engagement, Kimley-Horn will incorporate creative outreach methods, including virtual and in-person meetings, live and recorded presentations, and interactive tools. Kimley-Horn also develop and host an online mapbased survey platform that allows users to identify areas of concern by placing pins and submitting location-specific feedback. The survey will be developed in collaboration with City staff and finalized following one round of review.
Kimley-Horn will provide content including promotional collateral (flyers, graphics, social media, survey link) in English and Spanish to the City’s Public Information Officer (PIO) and/or webmasters for posting project information in support of providing updates to the project website. This content will be adapted from materials developed in other tasks
3 and may include resized graphics or excerpts from technical documents. It is assumed that the City will be responsible for all aspects of survey distribution, including posting across various social media platforms and the agency website, if desired.
Kimley-Horn will synthesize and summarize input received as part of community outreach efforts and present findings in the Draft Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan. This process will ensure that community input is meaningfully reflected in the final recommendations and project prioritization.
Task 2.4: City Council Meetings
Kimley-Horn will attend up to two (2) City Council meetings to present the Draft and Final Safety Action Plan.
Task 2 Deliverables:
Engagement strategy
Outreach materials
Online survey
Meeting materials for stakeholders meetings and public workshops Task 3: Background Review, Plan Vision, Goals, and Objectives Kimley-Horn will conduct a literature review of existing and in-progress City plans, projects, policies, programs, and standards to identify opportunities for alignment with Vision Zero principles and SS4A Safety Action Plan requirements. This literature review will focus on identifying safety-related initiatives and evaluating their effectiveness, consistency, and potential for enhancement. Documents to be reviewed include:
General Plan – Transportation Element
Local Road Safety Plan
Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan
Specific Plans
Gilroy Station Access Studies
Santa Teresa Boulevard Policy
Leavesley Road Policy
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
As part of this review, Kimley-Horn will assist the City in review and identification of gaps, overlaps, and areas for policy refinement. This effort will also include an assessment of existing programs and policies across the “Four Es” of transportation safety—engineering, enforcement, education, and emergency response—to identify opportunities for updates that reflect current best practices and support safer roadway conditions.
4 Building on insights from the safety analysis and community engagement, Kimley-Horn will develop a set of recommended policy and process changes to be considered for inclusion in the Safety Action Plan. These recommendations will address infrastructure design, traffic enforcement strategies, public education and outreach, emergency response coordination, and procedural improvements. All recommendations will be grounded in the Safe Systems Approach, consistent with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy. Furthermore, the recommendations will be accompanied by performance metrics to measure progress and effectiveness, as well as identification of responsible lead departments or staff. These implementable actions will serve as a practical roadmap toward achieving Vision Zero, ensuring accountability and transparency throughout the process.
Kimley-Horn will also support the City and stakeholder group in drafting a formal Vision Zero policy, including a target date for achieving zero traffic deaths and serious injuries, aligned with California’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) goal of 2050.
Findings from this task will be summarized in a benchmarking technical memorandum, which will document the literature review, identify policy gaps, and present recommended updates to align with Vision Zero and national safety best practices. This memorandum will serve as a foundational element of the Safety Action Plan and guide future policy development and implementation.
Task 3 Deliverable:
Vision Zero Policy
Benchmarking Technical Memorandum
Task 4: Collision and Roadway Analysis
Task 4.1: Crash Data Analysis
Kimley-Horn will conduct a citywide assessment of the most recent 5-year crash data to identify high frequency crash locations, high risk locations (with elevated critical crash rate (CCR), impaired driving crashes, school-related crashes), and locations with unusual crash patterns (such as high severity, behavioral outliers, and roadway geometry that may be contributing to crashes).
This analysis will be grounded in a Safe Systems Approach and will incorporate statistical network screening methods consistent with the Highway Safety Manual (HSM). These methods are designed to identify locations with crash rates that exceed statistically expected norms, allowing for a focused review of roadway and intersection characteristics that may contribute to elevated risk. The first phase of the screening process will involve developing critical crash rates for roadway segments and intersections throughout the city. Average crash rates will be calculated based on roadway functional classification and intersection control type. These will be compared against thresholds derived from daily traffic volumes to estimate the relative risk at each location. This approach builds upon the concept of High Injury Networks and allows for
5 the identification of both high-volume corridors and lower-classification roadways that may present systemic safety concerns.
The second phase focuses on crash type overrepresentation. Kimley-Horn will analyze the distribution of crash types across the city’s roadway network and compare them to expected patterns based on functional classification and control type. This analysis will highlight locations with disproportionately high occurrences of specific crash types, including:
Fatal crashes
Fatal + serious injury crashes
Broadside crashes
Single vehicle crashes (run off road, fixed object, other) Head-on crashes
Rear-end crashes
Sideswipe crashes
Bicycle crashes
Pedestrian crashes
Wet/slippery road crashes
Nighttime crashes
Crashes involving alcohol/drugs
Crashes involving driver inattention
Crashes involving speeding/aggressive driving
Based on this analysis, Kimley-Horn will compile a comprehensive inventory of roadway segments and intersections with three or more crashes, ranked by total crash frequency in accordance with Local Roadway Safety Manual guidance. This inventory will inform the identification of priority locations for further evaluation and potential project development. These locations will be referenced in the Emphasis Areas section of the Plan and will serve as candidates for future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) or Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant applications. The analysis will also support the identification of systemic risk factors and the development of appropriate countermeasures.
To communicate key findings, Kimley-Horn will prepare a series of visual exhibits illustrating citywide crash locations, primary collision factors, high-injury intersections and segments, crash severity, time of-day trends, and involvement of bicyclists and pedestrians.
Kimley-Horn will develop and submit a list of the top 25 intersections (signalized and unsignalized) and segments and resulting crash data. List will include calculated critical crash rates and equivalent property damage only, in addition to the summary of the above listed crash data. This list will be used to not only identify priority locations that has experienced ahigh number of crashes, but also to identify other locations with similar risk factors. This list of priority locations will consider locations in which safety improvements were already constructed or have planned/programmed projects.
6 Task 4.2: High Injury Network
Kimley-Horn will develop a HIN for Gilroy, identifying roadway segments and intersections with the highest concentrations of fatal and serious injury crashes across all travel modes—pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. This analysis will build on the crash data compiled in Task 4.1 and will focus on isolating a subset of the roadway network where a majority of severe crashes occur (e.g., more than 50%). The resulting HIN will help the City prioritize geographic areas for targeted safety interventions and systemic improvements. The network will be mapped using GIS and integrated into the Safety Action Plan to support data-driven decision-making and future funding applications.
Task 4.3: Field Review
Kimley-Horn will identify up to five (5) priority locations within the HIN for further evaluation and development of project sheets. These locations will be selected based on crash frequency, severity, unusual patterns, and site-specific conditions that suggest potential for effective mitigation. The evaluation will include identification of multimodal conflict points between vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists along roadway segments and intersections within the corridor limits.
To support this effort, Kimley-Horn will conduct two days (half day on weekday and weekend) of field review meetings or walk audits at the selected locations, in coordination with City staff and members of the stakeholder group.
Task 4 Deliverables:
Crash data analysis summary results
Crash summary exhibits and maps
Task 5: Emphasis Areas and Countermeasures
Kimley-Horn will analyze the crash data to identify specific focus/challenge areas to guide crash reduction countermeasure strategies. The focus/challenge areas will be compared to the California SHSP, prepared by Kimley-Horn. Our approach is to review all crash severity levels. This provides a richer dataset to review and allows the team to determine factors where crash severity levels are high relative to overall crash numbers.
Based on input received during stakeholder and community engagement (Task 2) and the
focus/challenge areas identified, Kimley-Horn will identify countermeasures starting with those in the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual, FHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures, Countermeasures that Work published by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and NCHRP Report 500: Guidance for Implementation of the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan, which have proven strategies to address safety issues seen on City roadways. Measures that support safe and efficient active transportation use will also be strongly considered.
7 Kimley-Horn will develop a customized safety countermeasure toolbox comprised of engineering countermeasures that can be implemented at intersections and roadway segments. The toolbox will include the recommended countermeasures along with corresponding crash modification factor (CMF), crash reduction factor (CRF), funding eligibility, and implementation costs. Kimley-Horn will also determine systemic improvements that can be implemented city-wide to address focus areas.
Task 5 Deliverable:
Countermeasure toolbox
Task 6: Project Identification, Evaluation, and Prioritization Task 6.1: Implementation and Prioritization Strategy
Kimley-Horn will develop an implementation strategy to guide the City of Gilroy in developing implementation timelines for priority projects identified. This strategy will include a phased timeline—organized into near-term, mid-term, and long-term actions— to help the City align its efforts with its Vision Zero target date.
Kimley-Horn will identify opportunities for funding and implementation of the recommended priority projects through existing City maintenance programs and external grant sources. Potential funding mechanisms may include, but are not limited to, SB1, Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP), Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A), Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), and other applicable state and federal programs. The strategy will also include recommendations for updates to City design standards to better reflect current safety best practices
and support long-term implementation of Vision Zero principles.
All recommended projects, including non-engineering strategies (i.e. policy and process changes), will be summarized in a comprehensive implementation matrix, which will be incorporated into the Safety Action Plan. This matrix will provide a clear and actionable framework for tracking progress, securing funding, and coordinating across departments and agencies.
Task 6.2: Priority Project Development
Kimley-Horn will identify recommended site-specific improvements and safety countermeasures at up to 25 priority locations identified in Task 5. In addition to developing a list of priority project locations and safety countermeasures, we will develop concept exhibits utilizing high resolution aerial imagery (i.e. NearMaps) to present recommended safety countermeasures.
Additionally, Kimley-Horn will prepare planning-level cost estimates for implementation of proposed safety improvements along the priority locations.
Task 6 Deliverables:
Actions and strategies matrix
8 Priority project improvements exhibits
Planning level cost estimates
Task 7: Draft and Final Safety Action Plans
Task 7.1: Draft Safety Action Plan
Kimley-Horn will prepare a draft Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan to document the findings of the previous tasks. The draft Plan will satisfy the SS4A criteria for a comprehensive safety action plan for implementation funding eligibility. It will summarize the identified needs, safety goals, emphasis areas, and a prioritized list of improvements and activities. It will also identify responsibilities and resources to carry out the plan. The plan will also document the stakeholders and their involvement in the plan’s development, as well as a summary of public engagement and outreach activities. It will also contain a strategy for implementing the opportunities identified and a process for monitoring safety outcomes, to determine which strategies are most effective. Finally, the plan will include steps on how it can be evaluated for effectiveness and process for updating it in the future.
Kimley-Horn will provide a summary of the data collection effort in the format of an existing conditions assessment to be included as an appendix to the report, along with supporting electronic or GISbased maps.
The draft report will be submitted to the City for review and comments, and we will assist in circulating the draft plan to members of the project stakeholder group for review. Kimley-Horn will also facilitate a meeting with City staff to review the draft Safety Action Plan. Kimley-Horn will track and collect a consolidated, non-conflicting set of comments from City staff to review and update the report.
Task 7.2: Final Safety Action Plan
Kimley-Horn will respond to one set of consolidated, non-conflicting comments received on the Draft Plan into the Final Safety Action Plan. This document will guide the City’s effort to improve transportation safety and reduce the number of incidents and the severity of those incidents on our transportation systems.
The Final Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan will be designed as a living document, with clearly defined methodologies for future updates as new crash data becomes available, projects are completed, and priorities evolve. If requested by the City, Kimley-Horn will support City staff in presenting the Final Plan to the City Council for formal adoption.

STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Maintain and Improve City Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the plans and specifications for the Las Animas Park Pickleball Courts Project No. 26-PW-305, appropriating $155,000 from the Facilities Fund (615) and $344,190 from the Recreation Fund (290) to the project budget, awarding a construction contract to Monterey Peninsula Engineering for an amount not to exceed $1,226,401, establishing a 5% contingency for a total construction contract amount not to exceed $1,288,000, authorizing the City Administrator to execute the construction contract, and authorizing staff to approve any amendments, extensions, and change orders until completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications up to the project construction amount.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In spring of 2025, the City Council committed to the construction of the City's first ever stand-alone pickleball courts. On the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission, the City Council concurred with locating the courts at Las Animas Veterans Park (400 Mantelli Drive). At the direction of the City Council, staff initiated preparation of plans and specifications and formal bid for a six (6) court project located
7.2. just west of the Las Animas Dog Park.
The project was released for bids on April 10, 2026. Bids were received from six contractors on May 14, 2026. All bids exceeded the concept level cost estimates as well as 100-percent level cost estimates. Staff is requesting appropriation of $155,000 from the Facilities Fund (615) and $344,190 from the Recreation Fund (290) to the Project budget to permit the award of a construction contract to Monterey Peninsula Engineering, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with a total base bid of $1,226,401.
BACKGROUND
The Las Animas Park Pickleball Courts Project is located at Las Animas Veterans Park at 400 Mantelli Drive. Over the last several years, the community has conveyed its interest in seeing the City construct public pickleball courts to meet the growing demand within Gilroy. The Parks and Recreation Commission included the development of pickleball courts in their FY26 and FY27 work program which was presented to the City Council in conjunction with the budget. Pickleball was identified by the Commission as a priority park improvement with a recommended location at Las Animas Veterans Park.
On June 2, 2025, the City Council adopted the Biennial budget with the inclusion of $862,500 in the FY26 Capital Budget for design and construction of pickleball courts at Las Animas Veterans Park. On June 17, 2025, the Parks and Recreation Commission, by consensus, recommended placement of the pickleball courts between the Community Room Building and the dog park at Las Animas Park.
On September 16, 2025, staff presented an update to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Planning Commissioners were in favor of constructing the project at Las Animas Veterans Park and expressed a desire to build six pickleball courts. Following the meeting, staff started in-house design of the pickleball courts at the park.
On October 6, 2025 staff sought direction from the City Council on the Las Animas Pickleball Courts Project. At the direction of the City Council, the design included six asphalt pickleball courts, concrete and asphalt pathways, accessible parking space paving, striping and signage, fencing and gates, storm drainage system, stormwater treatment facility, landscaping and irrigation, lighting, and site furnishings. The bid included bid alternates for this project. The bid alternates are: conventionally reinforced concrete slab; chain link fence 6’ high; covered cabana bench (3 EA); wind screen 8’ high; and, wind screen 6’ high. The covered cabana benches and windscreens were identified as items that could be purchased and installed separately following community fundraising.
As part of the project design, fence post and footing sizes were increased to accommodate future windscreens being installed. Although this is a slightly larger cost now, future costs to remove existing footings and fencing to install footings and a fence
7.2. that can accommodate windscreens would be significantly more money. The pickleball community is encouraged to initiate raising of funds for items that are not included as part of this project.
Design was completed, and the project was released for bids on April 10, 2026. The plans and specifications, as edited by bid addendums, are attached. Bids were received from six contractors on May 14, 2026, as follows:
See Attachment 1 for a table of the contractors’ bids with bid alternates. All bids exceeded early project cost estimates.
The lowest bid determination as specified in the project specifications shall be based upon the base bid. Based upon an evaluation of bid documents received, MPE was found to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with a total base bid of $1,226,401.00. MPE has satisfactorily completed similar construction projects as the Las Animas Park Pickleball Courts Project in the Central Coast and South Bay regions.
Contractor Name Base Bid
Monterey Peninsula Engineering $1,226,401.00
Radius Earthwork $1,251,388.66
Guerra Construction $1,327,360.00
Silicon Valley Paving $1,330,329.60
Galeb Paving $1,377,600.00
Ram-Con Corporation $1,612,464.17
ANALYSIS
The proposed construction contract with MPE is for a not to exceed amount of $1,226,401. In addition, a construction contract contingency of 5%, or $61,599, is required for expenses from unforeseen issues that may arise during construction. Other expenses that have already been approved for the Las Animas Park Pickleball Courts Project are approximately $61,690, including surveying, geotechnical, electrical and lighting design, landscaping and irrigation design, and civil constructability review.
The total budget remaining for FY26 is approximately $800,810. Engineering needs $12,000 for design services and materials testing during construction. With the aforementioned costs and construction costs, the total costs for the project this fiscal year amount to $1,361,690.
7.2. ALTERNATIVES
An alternative to awarding the contract to MPE in the amount of the base bid is to award it in the amount of the base bid plus some or all the bid alternates. This would require appropriating additional funds beyond the staff recommendation. Staff does not recommend this alternative. Some of the bid alternates (windscreens and cabana benches) are not essential to the functionality of the pickleball courts and could be installed at a later date through community fund raising.
Another alternative is to reject all bids and re-advertise the project. Staff does not recommend this option, as it would delay project delivery and is not expected to result in lower bid prices. Overall bids were reasonably close and reflect realistic public bid cost of construction.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There are not sufficient funds available in the project account to fund the construction contract with MPE, construction contingency, and design services and materials testing during construction. The additional amount needed to fully fund the project is $499,190.
Staff recommends an appropriation of $155,000 from the Facilities Fund (615) and $344,190 from the Recreation Fund (290) to fund the project accessibility improvements and remaining project costs.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
On June 17, 2025, the Parks and Recreation Commission, by consensus, recommended placement of the pickleball courts between the Community Room Building and the dog park at Las Animas Veterans Park.
On September 16, 2025, staff presented an update to the Parks and Recreation
7.2. Commission. The Commissioners were in favor of constructing six pickleball courts.
On October 6, 2025, the City Council provided direction on design elements and confirmed the location for the project.
NEXT STEPS
Upon City Council approval, the contract will be executed, and staff will work with the contractor to begin construction and engage with consultants for design support and materials testing during construction.
