CLEARSOU RCE REPORT T O THE CITY OF GILROY | 2

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

STUDY OVERVIEW
The City of Gilroy provides many services to ensure safe, orderly, and aesthetically pleasing development and construction within City limits. Broad categories of these services include, but are not limited to, project entitlement review, planning permitting, map review, building plan review and construction permitting. User fees and regulatory fees are the mechanism by which the City may recoup a portion of, or all, the costs associated with these services.

The City of Gilroy has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study focused on the City’s Development Services Fees. California cities regularly conduct these studies to inform fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services.

Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.

USER AND REGULATORY FEES
Cities derive annual revenue from a number of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by the City for providing fee-related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.

California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee-related services and activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees charged shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services , activities, or materials for which fees are charged.

At its conclusion, this study proposes for City Council review and consideration at public hearing a new Schedule of Fees and Charges for application and continued update in subsequent years.

COST RECOVERY POLICY AND PRACTICE
Recovering the costs of providing fee-related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.

The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involvement in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that service . When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – offsets the cost of the individualized activity.

Generally, fees for service are targeted to full cost recovery, inclusive of operating, direct, indirect, and capital costs, except in cases where the City Council cites a public interest in lower fees. The City may also be influenced by market conditions, comparing to municipalities of similar size and service profile.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FEES EXAMINED AS PART OF THIS STUDY
This study is limited to review of user and regulatory fees collected by the Community Development Department. Fees examined as part of this study include:
• Planning Fees, such as entitlement review and review for compliance with the zoning code • Building Fees, such as permitting of new construction or modifications to existing structures • Fire Prevention and Hazardous Materials Review Fees, such as review of new construction and annual inspections conducted to ensure compliance with the Fire Code • Code Enforcement Fees, such as investigation and re-inspection fees • Housing Fees, such as housing project reviews, and administration of housing related agreements • Specialized Business License Review Fees, for businesses requiring review by Building and/or Fire Prevention divisions prior to issuance of a business license.

FEES, FINES, AND TAXES NOT EXAMINED
Fees, fines, and taxes NOT examined as part of this study include:
• Assessments
• Development Impact Fees
• Fines or Penalties
• Franchise Fees
• Taxes
• Utility Rates and Services Charges
These items are subject to different approval thresholds or are not subject to the same cost of service limitations as the fees examined as part of this study. Consequently, they are specifically excluded from the scope of this study.

OVERVIEW OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
No new regulations are proposed as a result of this study: Any fees proposed to be updated or added to the City’s fee schedule are intended to align to existing regulations outlined in the California Building Code, Fire Code, City of Gilroy Municipal Code, etc. Fee adjustments are simply intended to recover all, or a portion of the costs, of enforcing existing regulations.

The City may adjust fees and enhance cost recovery, without positioning itself as an outlier to comparable communities. Comparison information is included Appendix I.

Full cost recovery is targeted from most proposed fees due to the regulatory nature of the fees and the high level of direct benefit resulting from construction activities including enjoyment of property enhancements, increased property values, and the desire to avoid having other Gilroy residents and businesses subsidize an individual's private construction activities. Detailed cost of service information is included Appendix II.

Fees have been restructured to enhance the correlation between services provided and fees collected.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fee Changes for City Council consideration are illustrated in categories:
• Fees proposed to decrease
• Fees proposed to remain unchanged
• Fees with changes that vary based on project criteria. In these instances fees may decrease, remain unchanged, or increase depending on the project criteria. • Fees proposed to increase
• New fees proposed.

The following provides a summary of primary changes the City Council is being asked to consider as part of this study.

Table 1 – Summary of Changes to Fees Examined
Description Count Percentage
Fees Proposed to Decrease 13 6.5%
Fees Proposed to Remain Unchanged 19 9.5%
Fees with Changes that Vary Based on Project Criteria
(May Result in Increase or Decrease)
63 31.7%
Fees Proposed to Increase 82 41.2%
New Fees 22 11.1%
Total Fees Examined 199 100.0%
Fees Proposed to Decrease
• Approximately 7% percent of fees are proposed to decrease. The City periodically performs comprehensive studies to calculate the City’s costs of providing fee-related services. In years between studies, fees are typically adjusted by the annual change in regional cost inflation. Studies, like this one, provide the opportunity to recalibrate fees to reflect current City practices and cost of service on a more refined basis.

Fees Proposed to Remain Unchanged
• Approximately 10% percent of fees are proposed to remain unchanged. These are primarily fees established by the State of California, or fees that are examined and updated as part of separate studies.

Fees With Changes that Vary Based on Project Criteria
• Approximately 32% of fees are proposed for adjustment that varies based on project criteria. These are primarily fees for services that are recovered on a “Time & Materials” or “Pass-Through” basis. In these instances, the City collects an initial deposit and periodically replenishes or refunds unused deposit amounts at project completion. Full cost recovery is targeted for these services.

CLEARSOU RCE REPORT T O THE CITY OF GILROY | 5

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fees Proposed to Increase
• Approximately 41% percent of fees are proposed fees are proposed to increase. These are primarily adjustments to align fees to the City’s current cost of service (i.e., full cost recovery). o Full cost recovery is commonly targeted from development-related fees due to the regulatory nature of the fees and the high level of direct benefit resulting from construction activities including enjoyment of property enhancements, increased property values, and the desire to avoid having other Gilroy residents and businesses subsidize an individual's private construction activities. o Additionally, when the City recovers the costs of these regulatory activities from the receiver of the service, the City’s General Fund tax dollars are more readily available to be directed towards services providing broader benefit to the community at-large (e.g., public safety, public works, park maintenance services, etc.)
New Fees
• Twenty-two (22) new fees are proposed. An overview of the proposed fees is listed below:

CLEARSOU RCE REPORT T O THE CITY OF GILROY | 6

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated fiscal impact of the proposed changes included in the fee schedule update is $632,000 in additional annual General Fund cost recovery. This is an estimate only, based on the impact of the proposed fee adjustments to average actual collections over a multi-year period. The actual fiscal impact will vary from year-to-year depending on construction and development activity.

It is important to note that while adjusting fees and billing rates will provide a fiscal impact in the form of additional revenue, the revenue is not intended to be used to fund new services, rather the revenue is intended to offset the costs of providing existing services that are recoverable from fees. Consequently, while fees may rise annually, typically labor costs (the primary driver of fee-related costs) also rise annually.

Recalibration of these fees simply provides an offset of existing expenditures/needs rather than a source of funding for expanded service levels.

PROJECT ORIENTATION

SCOPE OF STUDY
The City of Gilroy has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study for Development Services Fees, which represents an external review of prevailing practices and development of a new Schedule of Development Services Fees and Charges . ClearSource Financial Consulting has prepared this analysis using City organizational information and will be available to answer questions as the City proceeds in implementing findings as it chooses.

Key tasks expected by the City from this study included the following:
 Review eligible fee-related services to establish the reasonable relationship between current fees for service and the underlying costs of service.
 Calculate the full cost of service, including estimated Citywide overhead costs.  Recommend fees to be charged for each service.
 Recommend cost recovery strategies and best practices in setting fees, while considering the complexities and demands of responsible programs or departments.  Identify underlying billable rates for cost recovery opportunities and as the basis for user fees.

DIRECT SERVICES UNDER REVIEW

FEE CATEGORIES
 Planning – Services include, but are not limited to, entitlement review, and review for project compliance with the City’s Zoning Code.
 Building and Fire Review – Services include, but are not limited to, Building plan review, permitting, and inspection for construction and sub-trades to determine compliance with California Building Code and Fire Code.
 Code Enforcement, Housing, and Specialized Business License Review

REASON FOR STUDY
Cities derive annual revenue from a number of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by a City for providing fee-related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.

California cities regularly conduct fee studies to inform fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall body of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Widespread industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues for services of broader community benefit.

PROJECT ORIENTATION

PREVAILING GUIDANCE
The objectives of this study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of outcomes and recommendations for future consideration were significantly influenced by Article 13C of the California Constitution and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.

Article 13C states that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Additionally, Article 13C identifies the following as items that are not defined as taxes:
 A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.  A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.
 A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof.  A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property.
 A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law.
 A charge imposed as a condition of property development.  Assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.

Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits; building inspections; building permits; …the processing of maps under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act…; or planning services…; those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.

The outcomes and recommendations of the study are intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a result of this study are not taxes as defined in Article 13C of the California Constitution and that the proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees. Additionally, this report is intended to show that the manner in which the costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.

PROJECT ORIENTATION

METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES
This study calculated the estimated reasonable cost of providing various fee-related services across the City organization. Generally, the estimated reasonable cost of providing the fee-related services and activities examined in this study can be calculated as the product of the composite fully-burdened hourly labor rate of the division responsible for providing services and the estimated labor time required to process a typical request for service. This calculation is illustrated in Exhibit 1 .

EXHIBIT 1 | COST OF SERVICE CALCULATION
The composite fully-burdened hourly rates calculated in this study are based on the estimated annual hours spent providing fee related services, and estimated labor, services and supplies, and Citywide overhead expenditures, sourced as follows:
 Labor expenditures for in-house personnel were based on budgeted salary and benefits expenditures.
 Contract service personnel and other services and supplies related costs were based on adopted budgets and anticipated costs.
 Citywide overhead cost allocations were calculated using the federal de minimis rate.

The service time estimates were developed as follows:
 Multiple interviews with City staff directly responsible for the various permit issuance, plan review, and inspection activities to understand the typical level of effort associated with various services provided.
 Application of interview results and time estimates to various prototypical projects likely to occur within Gilroy to determine reasonableness of estimates as compared to historical precedent.

PROJECT ORIENTATION
Once cost of service levels are identified, the City may use this information to inform targeted cost recovery from fees. Fees set at the cost of service target full cost recovery. Fees set at any amount less than the cost of service target less than full cost recovery.

An illustration of the methods used in this analysis is shown in Exhibit 2.

IMPLEMENTATION

CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
If the City decides to adopt or otherwise utilize outcomes generated through this study, it should:
 Update Systems for Fee Outcomes - Ensure that City staff begin using updated fees and associated outcomes once the updated schedule of fees becomes effective. Values should be included in all official fee schedules used throughout the City (e.g., departmental pamphlets, counter schedules, and online information). Additionally, ensure collections processes are updated, which may include coding in billing systems and training for personnel who handle fees directly with the public.
 Actively Monitor the Use of Fees - In order to recover accurate and eligible amounts expected, the City should be diligent about tracking time to projects for time and materials billings and ensuring fees are applied in the correct amount and using the correct and intended basis for fixed fee billings.  Monitor Feedback and Permit Statistics - Monitor permit and application volume and applicant feedback to determine if fee modifications are resulting in any unanticipated changes in project frequency and to increase the level of detail available for revenue forecasting.  Annually Review and Adjust Fee Values - In order to generally maintain pace with regional cost inflation and/or the City's salary cost inflation, the City should adjust its fees on an annual basis.

A commonly used, reasonable inflation index is the annual change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) representative of the region.
 Periodically Perform Comprehensive Analysis - A comprehensive fee study should be conducted periodically (e.g., every three to five years) to ensure fee levels remain at or below legal limits and are consistent with evolving service practices and local conditions.

FEE COMPARISON
DRAFT

Page 458 of 541 ends

REGIONAL FEE COMPARISON
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in-range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions.

In order to provide the City Council with additional information as it considers potential adjustments to fees, current and proposed fees were compared to amounts collected by other agencies. For sampling purposes, the fee comparison examined fees for:
• City of Burlingame
• City of Hollister
• City of Marina
• City of Millbrae
• City of Morgan Hill
• City of Mountain View
• City of Pacific Grove
• City of Palo Alto
• City of San Bruno
• City of San Mateo
• City of Sand City

The City of Gilroy, consistent with other cities throughout the State, has an existing fee schedule that contemplates hundreds of potential unique requests for service. Consequently, an exhaustive comparison of all scenarios is unrealistic. Instead, comparison information for several targeted fee categories (e.g., high volume categories, fee categories of particular interest to community, etc.) are provided in order to provide the City Council with a reasonable sense of changes expected. For Gilroy, outcomes will show that new fees may range from low, mid, to upper end of regional fee spectrum depending on the service provided. This is common among municipalities due to differing levels of service and review included among various fee categories. Scenarios considered range from smaller scale projects to larger scale projects. Examples are illustrated in the charts on the following pages.

[a] "Time & Materials” and "Pass Through" fees include all costs including consultant costs, outside agency costs, noticing costs, etc. Additional fees may be assessed, as determined by the Community Development Director, based upon complications due to environmental review, three or more resubmittals, applicant initiated project revisions, continued public hearings, additional publishing costs, and applicant delays, etc. [b] For those projects involving multiple applications, the publishing costs will be reduced to a single charge when it is determined, and reasonably possible, that the public hearing applications can be processed together. For any user fee service request that is outside the scope, or for services for which there is no fee currently set, the City can charge the Division Hourly Rate. [c] Re-inspection fees apply at the third re-inspection.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Update on Homeless Encampment at Sixth Street and Camino Arroyo Drive
Meeting Date: September 14, 2026
From: Matt Morley, City Administrator
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Matt Morley, City Administrator
Prepared by: Matt Morley, City Administrator
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Promote Safe and Affordable Housing for All

RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the homeless encampment at Sixth Street and Camino Arroyo Drive and provide input on next steps to staff.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Since Council last addressed this encampment in May 2026 with direction to allow it to continue self-managing, conditions have deteriorated, including the physical condition of the property and reported impacts to adjacent properties. Staff is returning to Council to present options ranging from discontinuing the encampment to a supervised cleanupand-reset, and seeks direction, noting the Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee on Homelessness will bring its own recommendations in October that may inform the path forward.

BACKGROUND
At the February 9, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council discussed and heard public testimony with respect to the encampment on city-owned property near Sixth Street and Camino Arroyo Drive. On a vote of 5-2, the Council directed a 90-day suspension to encampment enforcement for this location. Staff has continued to monitor and provide services, including Quality of Life officer visits, portable toilet service, and trash service.

Volunteer agencies have supported the site with other services, including food and

Page 517 of 541 ends

10.2. connections to social services.

The Council discussed the encampment again at the May 4, 2026 City Council meeting, just ahead of the planned abatement of the encampment. At that meeting the Council provided direction to continue allowing the encampment barring issues at the site, with the expectation that services would continue and the encampment would self-manage to ensure the burden on the community did not grow.

ANALYSIS
This item is before the Council due to changing circumstances at the site. The encampment had maintained a period of stability and somewhat resilient selfmanagement. Most recently, staff has noted an increased accumulation of materials brought in by the homeless. The accumulation has become significant and is very visible from surrounding properties and from the sidewalk. Tents and canopies in the camp have become more expansive, making counting individuals difficult. Staff estimates that 25-30 individuals may be residing at this location.

Recent complaints have also come to light, including concerns from PG&E regarding fence cuts and graffiti on their nearby property and reports that Costco has experienced impacts from homeless presence. In addition, expectations that the camp would keep surrounding properties clean have not been met. Shopping carts are evident along the creek bank and trash has accumulated along the sidewalk and in the parcel immediately adjacent.

The City continues to partner with PitStop Outreach in providing portable toilets for the site and City staff recently provided a large dumpster with the expectation that the site would utilize that to reduce the buildup of materials. This effort is ongoing.

The site specifically has not had calls for service from police or fire, with just a few calls adjacent. Anecdotally, adjacent calls may be tangentially related, but with nothing documented that confirms this. Quality of Life officers visit the site several times a week to check on the status and also report deteriorating conditions and a continued growth in the size of tents.

As is typical with encampments, materials accumulate and build up. Perhaps the homeless intend on utilizing the materials they are gathering or perhaps there is an element of hoarding that occurs. Without active management, this will continue to challenge encampments, whether they are single individuals or larger groups. The hope that the encampment would self-manage has not come to fruition.

With respect to this encampment, there are a number of options, two of which include the following:

Discontinue the encampment - The City could provide notice and discontinue the

Page 518 of 541 ends

10.2. encampment at this location. This would result in the dispersing of those at the camp and a cleanup to restore the site. The homeless would disperse to other locations, probably in less of a congregate scenario. City staff would in turn need to manage those smaller or individual encampments on an ongoing basis. History has shown that these encampments move from place to place as City staff moves them along, without a longterm solution. This does not solve for the problem, but rather shifts it to numerous smaller locations and increased ongoing complaints and workload.

Conduct a cleanup and reset - The City could clear the homeless from the encampment and conduct a cleanup, resetting the condition of the parcel. With the cleanup, the City could allow the encampment to re-form. From a City labor perspective, having the homeless in one location moderates the number of complaints, centralizes cleanup efforts, and eliminates the need to continually relocate individuals. This also provides a centralized location for service providers to locate individuals, facilitating the provision of assistance.

Provide increased pressure for camp maintenance - Working with community partners, City staff could attempt to increase pressure on the camp residents to maintain the site.

This could include personal noticing to reduce the size of tents, hoarded material, adjacent site cleanup, etc. This work would fall to Quality of Life officers in some limited capacity and to community partners. In this and other encampments in Gilroy, there has not been a successful model of this working and Gilroy does not have dedicated staff resources to provide the oversight to attempt this. Even with resources, the likelihood of success is suspect as there is no real method to escalate so as to require compliance.

At the April 20, 2026, City Council meeting, the Council established the Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee on Homelessness. This committee has been meeting regularly and is headed towards its final meeting on September 15. Following that meeting, staff will bring the ad hoc recommendations to the City Council for review and discussion, likely in October. The timing of the ad hoc work may play into the decision-making process for the encampment along 6th Street.

ALTERNATIVES
Several alternatives are provided in the analysis section of this report.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Costs associated with this site are included in the General Fund operating budget.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
This item is posted on the City website with the agenda.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Consider Adopting an Urgency Interim Ordinance Imposing a Temporary Moratorium on the Acceptance, Processing, and Approval of Applications and Entitlements for New Data
Center Facilities Citywide, for a Period Not to Exceed 45 Days Meeting Date: September 14, 2026
From: Matt Morley, City Administrator
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Matt Morley, City Administrator
Prepared by: Matt Morley, City Administrator
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Not Applicable

RECOMMENDATION

1. Determine the action of adopting the Urgency Interim Ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines;

2. Adopt an Urgency Interim Ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium, citywide, on the acceptance, processing, and approval of applications and entitlements for new Data Center facilities, for a period not to exceed 45 days, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858; and

3. Make findings, as incorporated in the ordinance, that adoption of the ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City is home to an existing, large-scale Data Center operated by Amazon Web Services, Inc., approved administratively in 2025, and has since received a preapplication for a second, expanded Data Center facility elsewhere in the City. The Gilroy City Code does not define “Data Center” as a distinct land use or contain

Page 521 of 541 ends

development standards addressing its unique impacts, historically allowing such facilities to be approved administratively without a public hearing. On August 17, 2026, the City Council received extensive public testimony on this issue and directed staff to bring back objective design standards for commercial and industrial development, including Data Centers. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt an urgency interim ordinance under Government Code Section 65858 imposing a temporary, citywide, 45-day moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of any new application or entitlement for new Data Center facilities, to provide the time needed to study and adopt Data Center-specific zoning and development standards. The moratorium would not affect the already-approved Data Center facility.

BACKGROUND
The Gilroy City Code does not currently define “Data Center” as a distinct land use and contains no zoning, development, or operational standards addressing the unique impacts of Data Centers, including electrical grid capacity and demand, water consumption and cooling technology, backup generator emissions and noise, aesthetics and screening, truck traffic, and decommissioning. Amazon Web Services (AWS) submitted Architectural and Site Review Permit Application No. AS 20-23 for a Data Center project at 8050 Camino Arroyo (APN 841-69-044), a 56-acre site in the City’s M2 (General Industrial) zoning district. Because the Gilroy City Code does not classify “Data Center” as a distinct land use, and Table 30.23.10(c) of the Gilroy City Code permits Data Centers only under the generic “Data Processing Establishments” use classification, the application did not require a public hearing before the Planning Commission or City Council; the Community Development Director, on behalf of the City, approved the project administratively through the Architectural and Site Review process on July 3, 2025, as has been the process in accordance with the City Code in Gilroy.

Part of that approval included the certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2022110127) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15090 and adopted CEQA Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15091 and 15093. The certified Final EIR found that, even after mitigation, the project would result in two significant and unavoidable impacts: (i) conversion of Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural use (Impact AG-1), and (ii) vehicle miles traveled in excess of the significance threshold under CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 (Impact TRA-1). At full two-building build-out, the AWS Facility currently under construction involves up to 49 megawatts of electrical demand per building — up to 98 megawatts combined — backed in part by twenty-five 2.5-megawatt and one 600-kilowatt diesel backup generators for the first building alone, and water demand of up to approximately 7.49 million gallons (23 acre-feet) per year.

The City has since received a pre-application from AWS for a second, Data Center facility (the “Proposed AWS Project”), anticipated to be located at or near the

Page 522 of 541 ends

intersection of Highway 152 and Camino Arroyo. Although the City has not yet received or begun processing a formal application, staff anticipate one will be submitted within a reasonable time, and that additional Data Center applications from other operators may follow given increasing regional and statewide demand for Data Center facilities.

On August 17, 2026, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the Introduction and First Reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 30 (Zoning), Article L (Planning Department Applications) of the Gilroy City Code relating to the Architectural and Site Review permit process, to enhance public outreach (Agenda Item 8.1). The Council received extensive public testimony, both in favor of and in opposition to the AWS Facility currently under construction, and directed staff to bring back objective design standards for commercial and industrial projects — including Data Centers — that address community needs, economic development, energy use, environmental impacts, public health, and neighborhood quality of life (the “Objective Design Standards Direction”). That ordinance is scheduled for second reading at the same September 14, 2026 meeting as this urgency ordinance; even once effective, it does not add a public hearing or any Data Center-specific standard to the Architectural and Site Review process.

ANALYSIS
California Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt, as an urgency measure, an interim ordinance prohibiting uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City is considering, studying, or intends to study within a reasonable time. Subdivision (c) further requires that the ordinance contain findings that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that approval of the entitlements at issue would result in that threat.

Consistent with the Objective Design Standards Direction, staff recommend that the Community Development Department and Planning Commission be directed to study and prepare recommended amendments to the Gilroy City Code that would (i) define “Data Center” as a distinct land use and establish zoning, siting, development, and operational standards for Data Centers, and (ii) implement the Objective Design Standards Direction for commercial and industrial projects generally (collectively, the “Contemplated Zoning Proposal”). Absent a temporary moratorium, the City may be required to accept, process, and approve applications for new Data Center facilities — including the anticipated Proposed AWS Project — under the City’s current regulations before that study is complete.

Because the AWS Facility currently under construction is directly comparable in use, scale, and location to the Proposed AWS Project and to other Data Center facilities reasonably anticipated within the City, the documented impacts of the AWS Facility currently under construction — the significant and unavoidable impacts to agricultural resources and the regional transportation network, and the substantial demands on

Page 523 of 541 ends

electrical grid capacity, water supply, and cooling infrastructure — provide direct, Cityspecific, and substantial evidence that approval of additional Data Center entitlements under the City’s current regulations would result in, and exacerbate, a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents.

For purposes of the proposed ordinance, “Data Center” is defined as a facility used as a stand-alone or primary use to house computer systems, servers, data storage equipment, and associated infrastructure on behalf of one or more third parties or business units, that either occupies 15,000 square feet or more of gross floor area or has a dedicated critical information technology electrical load of one megawatt or more — a definition drafted to exclude an ordinary business server room or information technology closet accessory to another permitted use.

The proposed ordinance is scoped to the “establishment of a new Data Center facility,” defined by reference to whether an entitlement was approved and in effect before the ordinance’s effective date. This scoping does not impact the AWS Facility currently under construction, which is approved in its entirety under AS 20-23.

Urgency Justification: Immediate action is necessary because, absent a moratorium, the City could be required to accept, process, and approve an application for a future Proposed AWS Project, or another new Data Center, under regulations that do not yet reflect the Objective Design Standards Direction or address Data Center-specific impacts. Enacting the moratorium now preserves the status quo while the City studies and adopts the Contemplated Zoning Proposal.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Direct staff to return with a non-urgency ordinance addressing Data Center land uses. This alternative would delay the City’s ability to restrict new Data Center applications and entitlements until the notice and hearing procedures otherwise required for a standard zoning ordinance are completed, during which time the City could receive, and be required to process, a formal application for the Proposed AWS Project, or from other operators, under the City’s current regulations.

2. Take no action at this time. Under this alternative, the City would continue to accept, process, and approve Data Center applications, including the anticipated Proposed AWS Project, under regulations that do not define Data Center as a distinct land use, do not address its unique impacts, and do not reflect the Objective Design Standards Direction.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Studying and drafting the Contemplated Zoning Proposal will require staff time and consultant resources. Staff will provide an analysis of exact costs as they are identified.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
California Government Code Section 36937 states that urgency ordinances adopted by cities are exempt from advance public notice and waiting period required for standard ordinances. Urgency ordinances can be adopted immediately, with a four-fifths vote, at either a regular or special meeting, if the City Council determines that there is an urgent need to act to protect public peace, health, or safety.

NEXT STEPS
If adopted, the urgency ordinance will take effect immediately and remain in effect for 45 days from the date of adoption, expiring automatically on October 29, 2026, unless extended by the City Council pursuant to Government Code Section 65858. Consistent with Section VII of the ordinance, the City Administrator, or designee, will prepare a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions leading to adoption of the ordinance, for presentation to the City Council no later than 10 days before the ordinance expires. Any extension may initially last up to 10 months and 15 days, and thereafter up to one additional year, for a maximum total moratorium period of two years under Government Code Section 65858. During this period, the Community Development Department and Planning Commission will study and bring forward the Contemplated Zoning Proposal — defining “Data Center” as a distinct land use, establishing zoning, siting, development, and operational standards for Data Centers, and implementing the Objective Design Standards Direction for commercial and industrial projects generally.

PROCESSING, AND APPROVAL OF APPLICATIONS AND

ENTITLEMENTS FOR NEW DATA CENTER FACILITIES
CITYWIDE, FOR A PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED FORTYFIVE (45) DAYS WHEREAS, the City of Gilroy (“City”) is a municipal corporation duly organized as a Charter City under the California Constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, the City Council has broad discretion pursuant to the California Constitution Article XI, Section 5, and the general laws of the state, including, but not limited to, the California Planning and Zoning Law (Gov. Code section 65000 et seq.), to legislate for public purposes and for the general welfare, including, but not limited to, matters of public health and safety; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65858 sets forth procedures for the adoption of an urgency interim ordinance to prohibit the approval of applications for additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, and other applicable entitlements for uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated specific plan or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65858, subdivision (c), provides that the City Council shall not adopt or extend an interim ordinance under that section unless the ordinance contains legislative findings that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, or any other applicable entitlement for use which is required in order to comply with a zoning ordinance would result in that threat to the public health, safety, or welfare; and WHEREAS, for purposes of this Ordinance, “Data Center” means a facility, or any discrete portion of a facility, that is designed, constructed, or used as a stand-alone or primary use to house computer systems, servers, data storage equipment, and associated networking, cooling, electrical, and backup power infrastructure, for the storage, processing, management, or distribution of data on behalf of one or more third parties or business units, including facilities supporting cloud computing, colocation, and artificial intelligence applications, and that either (i) occupies 15,000 square feet or more of gross floor area, or (ii) has, or is designed to have, a dedicated critical information technology electrical load of one (1) megawatt or more. “Data Center” does not include a room, closet, or other space within a building that is accessory and incidental to the primary permitted use of that building and is used solely to support the on-site business, communications, or information technology operations of the occupant of that building; and
WHEREAS, the Gilroy City Code does not currently define “Data Center” as a distinct land use classification and does not contain zoning, development, or operational standards specific

to Data Centers, including without limitation standards addressing electrical grid capacity and demand, water consumption and cooling technology, backup generator emissions and noise, aesthetics and screening, truck traffic, and decommissioning; as a result, Data Center uses may currently be processed under Gilroy City Code Chapter 30 (Zoning), Article L (Planning Department Applications), as a use subject only to administrative Architectural and Site Review approval by the Community Development Director or designee — without any public hearing before the Planning Commission or City Council — within the M2 (General Industrial) zoning district, where, pursuant to Table 30.23.10C(c) of the Gilroy City Code, Data Center uses are permitted only under the generic “Data Processing Establishments” use classification, which is not tailored to, and does not contain any development or operational standards specific to, the unique scale and intensity of Data Center impacts; and although the City Council introduced an ordinance amending this same Article L Architectural and Site Review process, to enhance public outreach, on first reading at the August 17, 2026 meeting, and is scheduled to adopt that ordinance on second reading at the same September 14, 2026 meeting at which this Ordinance is presented, that ordinance will not yet have taken effect as of the date of this Ordinance, and in any event does not add any public hearing before the Planning Commission or City Council, or any Data Centerspecific development or operational standard, to the Architectural and Site Review process; and WHEREAS, the City is home to an existing Data Center facility operated by Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”), known as the AWS Data Center, located at 8050 Camino Arroyo (APN 841-69-044), for which the Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2022110127) was certified with a Statement of Overriding Considerations pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15090 and the project approved by the Community Development Director on behalf of the City on July 3, 2025 pursuant to Site and Architectural Review Permit No. AS 20-23 (the “Existing AWS Facility”); and WHEREAS, notwithstanding the conditions of approval placed on the project by City staff and the mitigation measures adopted in connection with the Existing AWS Facility, the certified Final Environmental Impact Report found that the project would result in two significant and unavoidable environmental impacts even after mitigation — (i) conversion of Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural use (Impact AG-1), and (ii) vehicle miles traveled in excess of the threshold of significance under CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 (Impact TRA-1); and that the Existing AWS Facility further involves up to 49 megawatts of electrical demand per data center building — up to 98 megawatts combined at full two-building build-out — backed by twenty-five 2.5-megawatt and one 600-kilowatt diesel backup generators for the first building alone, and water demand of up to approximately 7.49 million gallons (23 acre-feet) per year at full build-out, demonstrating that Data Center land uses within the City result in substantial, irreversible impacts to agricultural resources and the regional transportation network, and significant demand on electrical grid capacity, backup generator emissions and noise, and water supply and cooling infrastructure, which the City’s current regulations do not adequately address; and
WHEREAS, the City has received a pre-application from AWS for a second, expanded Data Center facility within the City (the “Proposed AWS Project”), anticipated to be located at or

Ordinance No. 2026-XX
Data Center Urgency Interim Ordinance
City Council Regular Meeting | September 14, 2026

near the intersection of Highway 152 and Camino Arroyo and although the City has not yet received or begun processing a formal application for the Proposed AWS Project, City staff reasonably anticipate, based on the pre-application and related communications, that a formal application will be submitted within a reasonable time, and that additional Data Center applications from other operators may also be submitted in light of increasing regional and statewide demand for Data Center facilities; and
WHEREAS, because the Existing AWS Facility is directly comparable in use, scale, and location to the Proposed AWS Project and to other new or expanded Data Center facilities reasonably anticipated to be proposed within the City, the significant and unavoidable environmental impacts, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and infrastructure demands documented in the certified Final Environmental Impact Report for the Existing AWS Facility provide direct, City-specific, and substantial evidence that approval of additional applications and entitlements for new or expanded Data Center facilities under the City’s current regulations would result in similar significant and unavoidable impacts to agricultural resources and the transportation network, and similar substantial demands on electrical grid capacity, water supply, and cooling infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, on August 17, 2026, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the Introduction and First Reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 30 (Zoning), Article L (Planning Department Applications) of the Gilroy City Code relating to the Architectural and Site Review permit process and to enhance public outreach (Agenda Item 8.1), at which the City Council received extensive public testimony, including numerous comments both in favor of and in opposition to the Existing AWS Facility; and
WHEREAS, at that same August 17, 2026 meeting, in connection with Agenda Item 8.1, the City Council provided direction to City staff to bring back objective design standards for commercial and industrial projects that consider community needs, economic development, energy use, environmental impacts, public health, and neighborhood quality of life (the “Objective Design Standards Direction”), reflecting the City Council's own determination that the City's current commercial and industrial development standards do not adequately address these considerations; and
WHEREAS, consistent with, and in furtherance of, the Objective Design Standards Direction, the City Council desires, and hereby directs the Community Development Department and Planning Commission, to study and prepare recommended amendments to the Gilroy City Code that would (i) define “Data Center” as a distinct land use and establish appropriate zoning, siting, development, and operational standards therefor, including without limitation standards addressing electrical grid capacity and demand, water consumption and cooling technology, noise and emissions from backup generators, aesthetics and screening, truck traffic, and decommissioning, and (ii) implement the Objective Design Standards Direction for commercial and industrial projects, including Data Centers, addressing community needs, economic development, energy use, environmental impacts, public health, and neighborhood quality of life (collectively, the “Contemplated Zoning Proposal”); and

WHEREAS, absent a temporary moratorium, the City may be required to accept, process, and approve applications and entitlements for new or expanded Data Center facilities, including the anticipated formal application for the Proposed AWS Project, under the City’s current regulations before the City has had the opportunity to study and adopt the Contemplated Zoning Proposal; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, based on the evidence in the record — including but not limited to the documented impacts of the Existing AWS Facility described above, the preapplication for the Proposed AWS Project, the extensive public testimony received at the August 17, 2026 public hearing on Agenda Item 8.1, and the staff report accompanying this Ordinance — that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents arising from the acceptance, processing, and approval of applications and entitlements for new or expanded Data Center facilities under the City’s current regulations; and WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the approval of applications and entitlements for new or expanded Data Center facilities under the City’s current regulations — which, as reflected in the Objective Design Standards Direction, lack objective, enforceable development standards tailored to Data Center impacts — would result in, and exacerbate, that threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, in that such approval would result in significant and unavoidable impacts to Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance and to the regional transportation network of the kind documented in the certified Final Environmental Impact Report for the Existing AWS Facility, further significant strain on the City’s electrical grid and water supply infrastructure beyond levels the City’s utility providers can currently support without significant capital improvements, increased ambient noise and light affecting nearby sensitive land uses, increased heavy-truck traffic on City streets not designed to accommodate such use, and a resulting alteration, in a substantial and fundamental manner, of the character and quality of life of the affected neighborhoods and the City as a whole; and WHEREAS, within a reasonable time, the City Council, Planning Commission, and/or Community Development Department is considering, studying, or intends to study, the Contemplated Zoning Proposal to address the foregoing concerns, with which new or expanded Data Center uses may be in conflict; and
WHEREAS, on September 14, 2026, in accordance with State law, the City Council provided due consideration of all evidence presented and provided in the entire administrative record and held a duly noticed public hearing and took testimony regarding this urgency interim Ordinance.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION I. Recitals.

The above recitals are true and correct and hereby adopted as the City Council’s findings.

Ordinance No. 2026-XX
Data Center Urgency Interim Ordinance
City Council Regular Meeting | September 14, 2026

Page 5 of 8 ends

SECTION II. Purpose and Authority.

In the interest of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Gilroy, it is the purpose and intent of this urgency interim Ordinance to place a temporary moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of any new application, permit, license, or other entitlement for the establishment of a new Data Center facility, citywide. The City Council has authority to adopt this Ordinance pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858 as an urgency measure prohibiting any use that may be in conflict with the Contemplated Zoning Proposal that the City is considering or studying.

SECTION III. Findings.

The City Council hereby finds and determines that the acceptance, processing, and approval of applications and entitlements for new Data Center land uses in the City, under the City’s current regulations, constitutes a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare.

The approval of additional entitlements for Data Center land uses, including but not limited to the anticipated formal application for the Proposed AWS Project, under the City’s current regulations would result in and exacerbate that threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. The adoption of this urgency interim Ordinance is therefore necessary for the immediate protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. The above recitals are incorporated herein by reference as true and correct as the Council’s findings.

SECTION IV. Definitions.

For purposes of this Ordinance, “Data Center” means a facility, or any discrete portion of a facility, that is designed, constructed, or used as a stand-alone or primary use to house computer systems, servers, data storage equipment, and associated networking, cooling, electrical, and backup power infrastructure, for the storage, processing, management, or distribution of data on behalf of one or more third parties or business units, including facilities supporting cloud computing, colocation, and artificial intelligence applications, and that either (i) occupies 15,000 square feet or more of gross floor area, or (ii) has, or is designed to have, a dedicated critical information technology electrical load of one (1) megawatt or more. “Data Center” does not include a room, closet, or other space within a building that is accessory and incidental to the primary permitted use of that building and is used solely to support the on-site business, communications, or information technology operations of the occupant of that building.

For purposes of this Ordinance, the “establishment of a new Data Center facility” means the construction, occupancy, or operation of a Data Center pursuant to an application, permit, license, or other entitlement that is not, as of the effective date of this Ordinance, an approved and effective entitlement. The “establishment of a new Data Center facility” does not include the continued construction, occupancy, operation, maintenance, or repair of a Data Center pursuant to an entitlement approved and in effect prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, including the Existing AWS Facility, which is approved in its entirety pursuant to Architectural and Site Review Permit No. AS 20-23, regardless of whether construction of any phase of the Existing AWS Facility remains ongoing or is completed after the effective date of this Ordinance.

SECTION V. Moratorium Imposed.

This Ordinance imposes a moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of any application, permit, license, entitlement, or other approval — whether ministerial or discretionary — for the establishment of a new Data Center facility, anywhere within the City.

SECTION VI. Violation.

Except as otherwise permitted under this urgency interim Ordinance, the establishment of a new Data Center facility in violation of this Ordinance is declared to be a public nuisance. Violations of this urgency interim Ordinance may be enforced by any applicable laws or ordinances, including, but not limited to, injunctions or administrative or criminal penalties under the Gilroy City Code.

SECTION VII. Report.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, subdivision (d), the City Administrator, or designee, is authorized and directed to prepare a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of this urgency interim Ordinance, for presentation to the City Council no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of this Ordinance or any extension thereof.

SECTION VIII. Term of Ordinance.

This urgency interim Ordinance shall be in effect from the date of adoption for a period of fortyfive (45) days, unless it is extended pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858 or other applicable law, as approved by the City Council.

SECTION IX. Severability.

If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase of this urgency interim Ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or otherwise void or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this urgency interim Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this urgency interim Ordinance and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, or phrases may be declared unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION X. CEQA Determination.

This urgency interim Ordinance is exempt from environmental analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that this Ordinance has no possibility of having a significant effect on the environment, as it merely preserves the status quo in accordance with Government Code Section 65858 in the interest of evaluating and preventing potential harms related to Data Center land uses. This Ordinance does not authorize any development, approve any land-use entitlement, or result in any physical change to the environment.

1. FAIR Memo: Community Wide Infant Swimming Resource Pilot Program

Page 535 of 541 ends

August 30, 2026
FAIR Memo: Requesting a free community-wide ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) pilot program
Submitted by: Kelly Ramirez
According to the CDC, drowning is an especially serious risk for young children. In the United States, it is the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4. Children ages 5–14 also remain at substantial risk; drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional injury death in that age group.

The CDC's most recent information is particularly striking: drowning deaths among children ages 1–4 increased 28% in 2022 compared with 2019.

The American Academy of Pediatrics' new 2026 policy statement specifically says toddlers have the highest drowning fatality rates and frequently drown in swimming pools after gaining unanticipated access to water.

Gilroy summers are always hot. Many of our youth cannot afford nor have access to swim lessons and/or safe swimming environments with certified lifeguards. As an alternative, oftentimes families and young children choose to swim in creeks and lakes that do not have lifeguards thus increasing the opportunity for drownings.

ISR is a drowning-prevention/self-rescue swimming program, rather than conventional recreational swim lessons.

The program is designed primarily for children about 6 months through 6 years old, with skills adjusted to the child's age and development. Lessons are generally one-on-one and individualized.

For an infant who isn't yet walking well, the central skill is:

Fall into water → turn/roll onto back → float → maintain breathing → wait for rescue.

This is called roll-back-to-float. The goal isn't for a baby to swim long distances; it's to give the child a way to get their face out of the water and breathe if they unexpectedly enter the water.

For a more mobile toddler or young child, ISR progresses toward:

Swim → roll onto back → float/breathe → turn over → swim again This is commonly called swim-float-swim. The child learns to move toward the pool wall, steps, shoreline, or another place of safety.

What the lessons are like
ISR lessons are notably different from traditional group swim lessons:
• One child and one instructor
• Usually very short lessons, often around 10 minutes
• Frequently conducted 4–5 days per week

Page 536 of 541 ends

• A typical initial program takes approximately 6 weeks, although it varies considerably by child
• Skills are taught through repetition and individualized instruction.

Some programs also deliberately have children practice in clothing, because an unexpected fall into a pool or other body of water may occur while the child is dressed.

The important distinction
"Teaching a young child what to do if they unexpectedly end up in the water." That's different from ordinary swimming instruction, whose primary objective is usually learning strokes, becoming comfortable in the water, and eventually swimming proficiently.

ISR focuses first on survival skills, and swimming ability is incorporated as the child becomes developmentally ready.

I propose directing staff to determine the cost of providing this community benefit program -either offered by the city or through a volunteer program with certification provided by the city.

Early water instruction isn't primarily about producing young swimmers. It is about giving young children progressively appropriate skills to survive an unexpected entry into water and ultimately become water competent.

This request overlaps with two City processes – the Recreation Assessment, in progress now, and the annual budget process.

With respect to the Recreation Assessment, I recommend including this program in the assessment and utilizing a pilot program to inform on the interest level in the community.

With respect to the annual budget process, it makes sense to move this pilot program forward prior to the budget process to allow for implementation ahead of the 2027 swim season, when outdoor risks are greater for infants.

1. FAIR Memo: Establish a Legislative Action Committee

Page 539 of 541 ends

August 30, 2026
FAIR MEMO: Consideration of creating a Legislative Action Committee Submitted by Councilmember Ramirez
I currently represent Gilroy on the Cities Association Board of Directors and the Cities Association Legislative Action Committee. On a monthly basis we are asked to vote on various legislative items that are moving through the state in order for the Cities Association to take a stand on the various issues. I am aware that I am representing Gilroy, not my personal opinion, so in order to ensure that I am doing that, I work with the City Administrator before voting.

I’ve learned that many cities in the county have their own Legislative Action Committees or Legislative Review Committees for the purpose of determining their city’s position on upcoming legislature. Below is a sampling of what some of the cities have.

1. Cupertino — Legislative Review Committee
Cupertino's City Council reestablished its Legislative Review Committee (LRC) in February 2026 when it updated its Legislative Advocacy Policy. The LRC is specifically authorized to establish positions on legislation that falls within the City's adopted Legislative Platform.

Legislation outside that platform goes to the full City Council.

2. Campbell — Legislative Subcommittee
Campbell also has its own Legislative Subcommittee.

Campbell's policy says the subcommittee meets regularly during the California legislative session and may review and take positions on proposed legislation. Its stated objectives include:
• advocating Campbell's legislative position at the federal, state, regional and county levels;
• informing legislators about legislation's impact on Campbell; • working with other local governments and organizations; • tracking legislation;
• meeting with legislators and their representatives; and • informing the public of Campbell's legislative positions.

2. Los Altos – Legislative Subcommittee
Los Altos has its own Legislative Subcommittee similar to Campbell.

4. Santa Clara — somewhat different
Santa Clara does not appear to currently call its municipal body a "Legislative Action Committee." Instead, it has a formal Legislative Advocacy Position Policy and an ongoing legislative advocacy program.

The City's policy requires comprehensive review of legislation affecting the City, development of City Council positions, and communication of those positions to

Page 540 of 541 ends

legislators. It also provides for annual Legislative Action Priorities adopted by the City Council.

Santa Clara also contracts with a legislative advocacy firm to assist with its legislative program.

The important distinction
There are actually three different arrangements in Santa Clara County:

A. Cities with their own legislative committee
• Cupertino — Legislative Review Committee
• Campbell and Los Altos — Legislative Subcommittees
B. Cities with a formal legislative advocacy program/policy but no separate LAC • Santa Clara
C. Cities that primarily handle legislation through the Council/staff and appoint someone to the countywide CASCC LAC
• The remaining cities appear to fall primarily into this category, including Gilroy I propose that we direct staff to determine which arrangement would serve the community of Gilroy best.
