Kendra Howell, Brenda Cabrera, and Marcos Pulido from the Salinas Valley Health Blue Zones Project, explained what the City had done to get to the certification milestone which included a readiness assessment, being the only certified Blue Zones community designation in the State, and assistance from Salinas Valley Health, Taylor Farms, and Montage Health, and the City of Gonzales. They elaborated on the work they did in the different areas and Gonzales being a role model for engagement and leadership, staff, business owners and residents since 2020; embracing the project and aligning it not only with the City planned projects, but how it could continue its commitment to a vibrant and healthy community. They mentioned Gonzales exceeded their goals across all sectors for certification, measurement, work sites, schools, food, retail, policy and most importantly, community engagement.

experience possible from meeting with many of them to enhancing their understanding in local City government, and the different aspects that impact the City.

5. Emergency Alert System
Fire Chief Muscio and Recreation Coordinator Olmedo presented information on the Everbridge City Wide Alert System. They explained the number of contacts uploaded, usage on nonemergency notifications, messages from the State, outreach plan and registration information, emergency alerting notifications, and ability to send messages to all City employees.

City Manager Gil added that staff was working with FEMA to get their clearance, and then test the system internally on a monthly basis. She elaborated on the type of messages that would be sent, and staff also had a list of senior citizens who require special needs in case of an emergency that will be updated periodically.

BUSINESS FROM THE PUBLIC

6. Business from the Public not on the Agenda; any member of the Public may address the Council for a period not to exceed three minutes on any subject not on the Agenda. The Council will listen to all communications, but may take no action.

Rosa Rodriguez, 307 Ayrshire Way, thanked Youth Council for their great presentation; expressed her excitement about the text messaging alert system which she felt it was very important in the community; and her participation with Blue Zones on nutrition and physical activity.

Deputy City Clerk Villegas read comments received from Andrew Brown via email to [email protected] on Monday, September 15, 2025 at 8:00am and read as follows:
“Good evening, Mayor and Council. The Teen Innovation Center will only be a safe place for youth if it is consistently open as a true drop-in space. I’m concerned that relying on three program partners may result in sporadic, one- or two-hour activities that are inconsistent and could fade away over time. That model leaves teens without a dependable place to go after school. Right now, City recreation resources mainly serve the easiest groups to reach-young elementary students and seniors-while teens remain underserved. The current $250 entrance fee also filters out the very youth who need support most; many do not have adults able to pay. I’m asking the Council to ensure: Posted reliable hours (for example, school days into the evening and Saturdays), with City staff on site so the doors stay open regardless of partner programming.

Safety framework: post the rules, train staff, enforce firmly and consistently, and no leniency for misconduct. Full staff support: there is a reason the current rec staff doesn't serve middle schoolers and high schoolers. Sadly, the reason is reasonable. Parent involvement mandate. The Recreation Department isn’t a substitute for mental health counseling or family support. Parents should take the responsibility rather than shifting their burden onto staff. Most youth are intolerable and most parents are negligent in such behaviors.”

Public Comment: Deputy City Clerk Villegas read comments received from Andrew Brown via email to [email protected] on Monday, September 15, 2025 at 8:00am and read as follows: “Good evening, Mayor and Council. I’m glad to see no high-density units as LandWatch suggested. Michael DeLapa is a blank (he used a derogatory word) -I interned for a terrible website he ran, demanding 10 hours a week for no pay. This looks like another grift. My main concern is speculative purchases of units, similar to what happens in the Bay, or that what we want because it brings in tax dollars? This already happens in Marina-teachers from CSUMB rent from owners despite regulations requiring living there for a minimum of four years. This undermines the intent of those rules and can reduce neighborhood stability and community engagement. Our youth grow up in Gonzales and don’t come back because there’s nothing to come back to: housing is priced up, wages lag, the Teen Innovation Center isn’t yet a reliable drop-in space, and non-local operators mark up basic services. If we want our kids to return as Packet Pg. 36

successful adults, we need stability, affordability, and places that actually stay open. I assume the current population doesn’t contribute enough. Every time a senior dies, a single-family house turns into an 18-unit apartment. Unregulated, untaxed sheds-called “houses”-catch fire, and the tax-funded fire department shows up.”
Council Discussion: There was none.

BUSINESS FROM CITY COUNCIL

21. City Council Board/Committee Reports
a. League of California Cities Monterey Bay Division
Mayor Pro Tem Silva reported on the Division meeting she and the Mayor attended in Hollister and Supervisor Lopez was the guest speaker. She mentioned that Deanna Sessums informed everyone that the payment for the meeting dinners were going to be incorporated into the annual dues for each City. Mayor Rios reported Seaside Mayor Oglesby was the new Chapter's President.
b. Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments
Council Member Funk reported on the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan update which staff will bring back in early 2026 for adoption. c. Monterey Salinas Transit
Council Member Worthy reported on their meeting last Monday where they announced they had 13 small buses that they would be retiring; informed of the new transportation company; and their new Counsel out of San Francisco.

22. Oral Communications
Council Member Orozco announced she would be traveling to Guanajuato tomorrow and be back Sunday, and the Annual St. Theodore’s Church Carnival will be on September 28th.

Council Member Funk followed up as part of the AMBAG update, that he was also the CalVans Regional Director and represented the tri-county area, and in relation to the MST buses, CalVans have now the first non Ag Van since Covid as part of the transportation system.

Mayor Pro Tem Silva reminded the residents that the applications for the City’s Senior Rebate Program need to be submitted by the first part of November but encouraged everyone to get them done by the end of September. She also announced that sadly the Gonzales Football team didn’t take the megaphone but played a great game. She announced the Senior Lunch Program this Thursday, September 18th at St. Theodore’s Parish Hall at 11:00am. She also reported that Salinas Valley Recycles was actively recruiting for the General Manager’s position and she looked forward to being interviewed by the recruiter next week via zoom.

Council Member Worthy noted she would be having surgery on November 18th and would like to be present for the Community Center grand opening so she wanted to ask if staff could keep that in mind since it would probably be around that time. She elaborated on her Facebook post where she had a couple of people who were extremely belligerent to her and she had never experience that in her life to the point that her son suggested to call the police. She took the both of the posts off because she was so shocked by the whole thing and didn’t care what side people were on but she wanted everybody to be kind. She also elaborated on another incident that happened today at the clinic regarding a woman that tried to start an argument with her and told her she didn’t want to engage with her. She tried to be respectful to everyone and hoped everyone else did that especially because of the very hot temperature right now in our country.

Mayor Rios asked for the status on the petition to get the residents on the north side of town sign regarding the disgusting odor. He asked if anyone had started the petition and if not, he was willing to volunteer his Saturdays to knock on doors.

City Manager Gil mentioned it hadn’t been brought up to her attention about anyone starting it other than there had been a lot of talk about it. She said she would have to check with our City Attorney if the City could actually lead that.

Mayor Rios thanked staff for getting the signage item going under the consent agenda item, and couldn’t wait until the Chief could start issuing ticket after ticket to the folks coming off the freeway. He elaborated on a semi trying to make a left turn and the times it took to fit around. He appreciated what all the Ag companies did for us, but we've given them options such as La Gloria Road and they can come down Alta Street, so there's absolutely no need to come on Fifth Street with all the traffic from the school kids coming through there.

BUSINESS FROM CITY MANAGER

23. Oral Communications
City Manager Gil announced the Relay for Life event this Saturday, September 20th at 4:00pm and some City staff will be out there supporting cancer research. For registration information, people can find the QR code on social media and also in the City Manager report. She announced the Veterans Day banners registration will start opening up later this week and the plan was to do the same thing as last year. She also announced our Fall Trunk or Treat which will be a combination with the Halloween Movie Night on October 25th at Centennial Park. She also addressed public comments received earlier about an entrance fee to the Community Center. She clarified the City did not have an entrance fee established yet or anything of the like, and at this point we're still exploring partnership opportunities and gearing up some programming, but there is no established registration fee at this point.

Fire Chief Muscio extended an invitation to the Council and public on the new Fire Engine Dedication Ceremony this Thursday at 3:00pm at the Fire House.

Community Development Director Kinison Brown reported on the housing list staff prepared of people interested in housing since the approval of the project.

Mayor Rios asked Council Member Worthy if she could attend the TAMC meeting as his alternate on September 24th at 9:00am since he had an appointment at Standford that day.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to close City offices from December 24, 2025, through January 2, 2026.

BACKGROUND
The Christmas holiday falls on Wednesday this year. The approved holiday schedule lists Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. December 26
th, 29th, 30th, 31st, and January 2nd would be normal
workdays. Scheduling staff holiday vacation days can be a challenge given the small staff at City Hall.

The last few years, City Hall has been closed the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day without much inconvenience to the public. Utility due dates were changed, and the public was notified.

Employees have taken vacation time off during previous closures. Emergency services and shift employees remained on the job during office closures.

When staff requests City Hall closure, the Police Department office is also closed. However, the staff on duty are still working.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Staff scheduling would be greatly improved if everyone is able to take holiday vacation at the same time.

Some employees will use compensation time earned for overtime, while others will use vacation time for the four days requested this year. Sick time will not be allowed.

AGENDA
ITEM
8 Packet Pg. 55
Some staff will take the opportunity to clean and clear files preparing for 2026. Staff will check the main office phone messages daily and respond to inquiries.

Public Works standby personnel will handle utility connects and disconnects during this time.

The utility due date would normally be December 23
rd. Staff moved the due date to Monday, January 5,
2026. This change in normal operations would be communicated on the previous month’s utility bills, and other means of outreach available like the Kiosk program and website.

If the City Council approves this holiday closure, staff will receive notice as soon as possible.

Staff absences on Monday, January 5, 2026, after a week off, would require a doctor’s excuse.

All City offices would be closed if this is approved. This closure would not affect Police, Fire or Public Works emergency response.

Explain Recommendation and How it Supports the Vision
Gonzales will continue to be a safe, clean, family-friendly community, diverse in its heritage, and committed to working collaboratively to preserve and retain its small-town charm.

Explain: This approach to the holiday vacation time is centered on a family-friendly work environment. It also supports a reduction of liability of time on the books by encouraging staff to take their vacation time. Staff is still committed to providing quality service.

Explain: This request will not increase cost. This use of resources is a coordinated effort to continue providing excellent services while improving employee vacation scheduling.

City services will be delivered in a cost-effective, respectful, and friendly manner to insure the safety and well-being of the residents and the promotion of business, recreational, housing and employment opportunities in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Explain: This program is cost-effective use of employee hours. Vacation time accumulates and there is limited time to coordinate coverage while others maintain core functions. It also helps us reduce liability by encouraging employees to take their accrued time.

Strong fiscal policies allow us to provide appropriate infrastructure for:
• Public Safety X Yes No N/A
• Housing Yes No X N/A
• Recreation Yes No X N/A
• Environment Yes No X N/A
• Education Yes No X N/A
Explain: There is no cost to this program and vital services continue.

ALTERNATIVES
Packet Pg. 56
Alternative 1. The City Council could determine this closure is too disruptive to the public and deny the request. Staff will coordinate holiday vacation requests should this alternative be chosen.

Alternative 2. The City Council could modify the request and maintain some staff at City Hall to keep the doors open. Staff will coordinate efforts should this alternative be chosen.

BUDGET IMPACT
There is no budget impact for this closure.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to close City offices from December 24, 2025, through January 2, 2026.

PUBLIC WORKS / CITY ENGINEER DEPARTMENT

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor Rios and City Council
DATE: October 6, 2025
FROM: Patrick Dobbins, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Carmen Gil, City Manager
SUBJECT: Presentation on City Property Appraisals

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council provide direction regarding the potential sale of certain City properties.

BACKGROUND
The City owns a handful of properties including City Hall, Police Station, Fire Station, Council Chambers and parcel associated with the City water and sewer systems. Earlier this year, the Council directed staff to conduct market rate appraisals for City-owned facilities for the potential sale and right sizing leases.

Staff engaged Piini Realty to prepare Market Value Appraisals for the following properties:

Name Address
1 Canyon Creek Park Phase 2 No address
2 Venice Way Park (Cipriani Subdivision) 469, 473 and 477 Venice Way 3 MAOF Child Care Facility 225 Elko Street
4 Old Medical Building 113 Fourth Street
AGENDA
ITEM
9 Packet Pg. 58
Some background on these properties is:

1. Canyon Creek Park Phase 2 – This 3.0-acre site was provided to the City as part of the Canyon Creek Subdivision. It’s adjacent to the existing Canyon Creek Park but on an upper bench of land. Over the past ten years, staff submitted several grant applications to construct ball fields and other amenities that unfortunately were unsuccessful. It’s not an ideal location for a park due to the cost to extend water, sewer and electric utilities to the site. Staff recently engaged a landscape architect to install additional picnic tables, trees and other amenities to the existing park to further activate it. However, with potentially new parks and open space coming as part of the Vista Lucia Project, converting this land into a park is not cost effective.

2. Venice Way Park – The City came into owning the three parcels that make up Venice Park in the Cipriani Subdivision as the original developer defaulted on paying the property taxes for several years. These parcels were always planned to be homes.

3. MAOF Child Care Facility – The building has under a long-term lease to the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation for operation of a Child Care facility. The building is on the same parcel as the Community Pool so selling the building would require splitting the parcel with the City retaining ownership of the parcel containing the pool.

4. Old Medical Building – This property is adjacent to City Hall on Fourth Street. There are three separate spaces in the building with two of them leased to the Gonzales Medical Center and Unilab. Sun Street Centers recently vacated the third space which has been repurposed for the City Emergency Operations Center. As the City owns all properties along the north side of that block of Fourth Street, the City may want to consider holding onto this property until the City needs to construct a larger City Hall as the City grows. Alternatively, the City could decide to build a larger City Hall outside of the downtown area.

The completed appraisal reports are attached to this staff report.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
The appraisal reports prepared by Piini Realty provided the following Market Value Ranges for these properties:

Name Market Value
1 Canyon Creek Park Phase 2 $105,000
2 Venice Way Park
(Cipriani Subdivision) $180,000 to $195,000
3 MAOF Child Care Facility $500,000 to 550,000
4 Old Medical Building $710,000 to $780,000
It’s important to note that selling City-owned property entails complying with the State Surplus Land Act.

The Surplus Land Act requires local agencies to make their unused property available for affordable housing development before selling. Local agencies must follow a specific process, including providing a notice of availability and engaging in good-faith negotiations, with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), overseeing the process and providing guidelines.

Packet Pg. 59
Staff dosen’t recommend selling the Old Medical Building until the monthly lease rate is closer to fair market value which is expected to be in December 2027.

Another property to consider selling is the City-owned parcel at 498 South Alta Street. This property was purchased in 2022 with the goal of constructing senior housing and City staff has coordinated that effort with CHISPA. CHISPA recently advised City staff that the programs they hoped to use for senior housing are no longer an option. So staff recommend bundling that property in the properties offered for sale through the State Surplus Land Act.

Staff recommends that the Council consider putting some or all these properties through the Surplus Land Act process:
1) Canyon Creek Park Phase 2 parcel
2) Venice Way Park (Cipriani Subdivision)
3) 498 South Alta Street
How Recommendation Supports the Vision
Gonzales will continue to be a safe, clean, family-friendly community, diverse in its heritage, and committed to working collaboratively to preserve and retain its small town charm.

Explain: Managing the portfolio of City-owned properties maximizes the benefit to the community. However, selling one of some of these properties may be of some benefit to the City.

Explain how the Recommendation Directly Implements the Mission The City Council and Staff of the City of Gonzales will realize our Vision by providing the leadership, commitment, and resources necessary to provide excellent services that enhance the quality of life of our diverse community. X Yes ____ No____ N/A

Re: Market Value Appraisal Report

Dear Mr. Dobbins:

Upon your authorization, I conducted the investigations and analyses necessary to form an opinion of the market value of the 2.92±-acre Canyon Creek farmland parcel that is owned by the City of Gonzales and is farmed by Pisoni Farms. The property is identified as Monterey County Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 020-343-003.

This report is presented as a Restricted Appraisal Report. As such, its use is limited to the client and named intended users because it may not contain supporting rationale for all of the opinions and conclusions that are set forth.

Based on the inspection of the property and the investigations and analyses undertaken, I have formed the opinion that as of June 1, 2025, the market value of the property is $105,000.

The restricted appraisal report that follows consists of 15 pages and sets forth the identification of the property, the assumptions and limiting conditions, a summary description of the subject property, and summarized information about the comparable properties reasoning leading to the conclusions set forth.

REPORT FORMAT
This report is submitted as a Restricted Appraisal report that is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(b) of USPAP for an Appraisal Report. As such, it presents only summary discussion of the data, reasoning and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser’s opinion of value. Supporting documentation concerning the data, reasoning and analyses is retained on file. The depth of discussion contained in this report is specific to the needs of the client and for the intended use stated above.

SCOPE OF WORK
As part of this assignment, the appraiser reviewed his November 15, 2023 Market Rent Appraisal Report of the subject property, which was prepared for the City of Gonzales. For the 2023 appraisal an inspection of the property conducted and Mr. Mark Pisoni, tenant of the Canyon Creek property and the adjoining Breschini Ranch, was interviewed and he provided information on the farming use of the subject, including the importation of water and access.

For this assignment, a re-inspection was not made and the property description is predicated on the prior assignment. The market valuation though is based on a review and analysis of current Salinas Valley agricultural and rental data.

The results of the investigations and the analyses conducted are presented in this appraisal report, and were prepared by John Piini, MAI.

SUMMARY PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This parcel is part of the larger
Canyon Creek residential
subdivision, which is located
within the city limits of Gonzales
and is situated on the east side
of Highway 101, with access
provided from 5th Street.

The subject parcel is situated on
an upper bench that physically
separates the subject from the
water detention parcel and the Canyon Creek residential development. The subject has a triangle shape, no physical access, no utilities, and borders irrigated farmlands to the north and west. The historical use of the property is row crop vegetable farming as part of the adjoining farmland to the north and west. The adjoining farmland is referred to as the Breschini Ranch, and the subject parcel is farmed as part of the Breschini Ranch, which can provide access and irrigation to the subject.

Land Area
The property has a triangle shape and contains a gross land area of 2.92 acres.

Access
There is no legal vehicle road access to the property. The tenant is able to access the property is from the adjoining Breschini Ranch, which the subject does not have a right-of-way or easement.

Soil & Topography
The property has a level terrain, and the soil is Salinas clay loam. This soil has a Class 1 capability rating and is considered a prime soil for growing a variety of Salinas Valley vegetable crops.

Irrigation Water
The property does not have developed water. Water to irrigate this parcel is provided from the adjoining Breschini Ranch. The tenant on the Breschini Ranch extends portable irrigation pipelines across the adjoining field road as there are no underground irrigation pipelines on the property.

Building Improvements
There are no building improvements.

Attachment: Canyon Creek Park Park Phase 2 (3374 : Presentation on City Property Appraisals) Restricted Appraisal Report – Canyon Creek Parcel Page 6 Assessed Valuation & Taxes
The property is publicly owned and hence it does not have an assessed value, though it is subject to annual direct property taxes. The direct taxes for the 2024-2025 tax year are $9.98.

SUBJECT PHOTOGRAPHS

Note: Photographs taken August 23, 2023 by John Piini.

Highest & Best Use
Highest and best use is defined as,
The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria that the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity.2
The Canyon Creek parcel is essentially a landlocked 2.92-acre triangular parcel, separated from the lands to the east by a steep bank and detention basin. The neighboring property to the north and west is the Breschini Ranch, which is a prime Salinas Valley agricultural property. The historical use of this property is agriculture as part of the neighboring Breschini Ranch, which is the only neighboring property that can provide access and water.

The highest and best use of the subject property is agriculture as part of the adjoining Breschini Ranch.

MARKET VALUATION
Similar to the 2023 market rent appraisal of this property, consideration is given to the properties limitations of having no access nor water and is only 2.92 acres, which is too small to be considered an economic unit. Due to these factors, a discount applies. Historically, in the Salinas Valley farmland properties that are landlocked, and do not have water, are marketable to only the neighbor and discounts 2 Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal – 6th Edition.

LIMITING CONDITIONS
Assumptions and Limitations of Appraisal
This appraisal is for no purpose other than property valuation, and the appraiser(s) is neither qualified nor attempting to go beyond that narrow scope. The reader should be aware that there are also inherent limitations to the accuracy of the information and analyses contained in this appraisal. Before making any decision based on the information and analysis contained in this report, it is critically important to read this entire section to understand these limitations.

Appraisal is not a Legal Opinion
No opinion is intended to be expressed for legal matters or that would require specialized investigation or knowledge beyond that ordinarily employed by real estate appraisers, although such matters may be discussed in the report.

No opinion as to title is rendered. Data on ownership and the legal description were obtained from sources generally considered reliable. Title is assumed to be marketable and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, easements, and restrictions except those specifically discussed in the report. The property is appraised assuming it to be under responsible ownership and competent management and available for its highest and best use.

It is assumed that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and laws unless noncompliance is stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report. A comprehensive examination of laws and regulations affecting the subject property was not performed for this appraisal.

It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with, unless a non-conformity has been stated, defined and considered in the appraisal report. Information and analysis shown in this report concerning these items is based only on a rudimentary investigation.

Any significant question should be addressed to local zoning or land use officials and/or an attorney.

It is assumed that all required licenses, consents or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, state, or national government or private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the value estimate contained in this report is based. Appropriate government officials and/or an attorney should be consulted if an interested party has any questions or concerns on these items since the appraiser(s) has not made a comprehensive examination of laws and regulations affecting the subject property.

Packet Pg. 72
Attachment: Canyon Creek Park Park Phase 2 (3374 : Presentation on City Property Appraisals) Restricted Appraisal Report – Canyon Creek Parcel Page 1 Testimony or attendance in court or at any other hearing is not required by reason of rendering this appraisal unless a signed contract has been executed prior to the date of this report.

Appraisal is not a Survey
No engineering survey has been made by the appraiser, and no responsibility is assumed in connection with such matters. Except as specifically stated, data relative to size and area were taken from sources considered reliable, and no encroachment of real property improvements is assumed to exist.

It is assumed that the utilization of the land and improvements is within the boundaries of the property lines of the property described and that there is no encroachment or trespass unless noted in the report.

All maps, plats and exhibits included herein are for illustration only, as an aid in visualizing matters discussed within the report. They should not be considered as surveys or relied upon for any other purpose, and the reliability of the information contained on such is assumed by the appraiser(s) and cannot be guaranteed. A surveyor should be consulted if there is any concern on boundaries, setbacks, encroachments, or other survey matters.

Appraisal is Not an Engineering or Property Inspection Report and is Made Under Conditions with Limited Data
This appraisal should not be considered a report on the physical items that are a part of this property.

Although the appraisal may contain information about the physical items being appraised (including their adequacy and/or condition), it should be clearly understood that this information is only to be used as a general guide for property valuation and not as a complete or detailed physical report. The appraiser(s) is not a construction, engineering, environmental, or legal expert, and any statement given on these matters in this report should be considered preliminary in nature.

The appraiser(s) has inspected as far as possible, by observation, the land and the improvements; however, it was not possible to personally observe conditions beneath the soil or hidden structural or other components
The appraisal is based on the assumption that there are no hidden, unapparent, or apparent conditions of the property site, sub-soil, or structures or toxic materials which would render it either less or more valuable. The appraiser(s) is not an environmental nor health expert. No responsibility is assumed for any such condition or for any expertise or engineering to discover them.

No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil, gas or mineral rights and that the property is not subject to surface entry for the exploration or removal of such materials except as is expressly stated.

Packet Pg. 73
Attachment: Canyon Creek Park Park Phase 2 (3374 : Presentation on City Property Appraisals) Restricted Appraisal Report – Canyon Creek Parcel Page 1 No chemical or scientific tests were performed by the appraiser(s) on the subject property, and it is assumed that the air, water, ground and general environment associated with the property present no physical or health hazard of any kind unless otherwise noted in the report. It is further assumed that the lot does not contain any type of dump site and that there are no underground tanks (or any underground source) leaking toxic or hazardous chemicals into the groundwater or the environment unless otherwise noted in the report. If any problems of this nature are known to the appraiser(s) which, in the appraiser's opinion would create a significant problem, they are disclosed in this report. Nondisclosure should not be taken as an indication that such a problem does not exist, however. An expert in the field should be consulted if any interested party has questions on environmental factors. If it is found that any of the aforementioned is present, the value of the property may be adversely affected and a re-appraisal at additional cost will be necessary to estimate the effects of such.

Because no detailed inspection was made, and because such knowledge goes beyond the scope of this appraisal, any observed condition or other comments given in this appraisal report should not be taken as a guarantee that a problem does not exist. Specifically, no guarantee is made as to the adequacy or condition of the foundation, roof, exterior walls, interior walls, floors, heating system, air conditions system, plumbing, electrical service, insulation, or any other detailed construction matters. If any interested party is concerned about the existence, condition or adequacy of any particular item, we would strongly suggest that a construction expert be hired for a detailed investigation.

Appraisal Report Limitations
Appraisal reports are technical documents addressed to the specific technical needs of clients. Casual readers should understand that this report does not contain all of the information we have concerning the subject property or the real estate market. While no factors we believe to be significant but unknown to the client have been knowingly withheld, it is always possible that we have information of significance which may be important to others but which, with our limited acquaintance of the property and our limited expertise, does not seem to be important. On the other hand, appraisal reports are performed with a limited amount of data. Data limitations result from a lack of certain areas of expertise by the appraiser (that go beyond the scope of the ordinary knowledge of an appraiser), the inability of the appraiser to view certain portions of the property, the inherent limitations of relying upon information provided by others, etc.

Before relying on any statement made in this appraisal report, interested parties should contact the Appraiser(s) for the exact extent of the data collection on any point which they believe to be important to their decision making. This will enable such interested parties to determine whether they think the extent of our data gathering process was adequate for their needs or whether they would like to pursue additional data gathering for a higher level of certainty.

Re: Restricted Appraisal Report – 469, 473 & 477 Venice Way Gonzales, CA
Dear Mr. Dobbins:

Upon your authorization, I conducted the investigations and analyses necessary to form an opinion as to the present-day range in the market value of the three single-family residential lots located on Venice Way, which are currently used as a neighborhood playground. The parcels are owned by the City of Gonzales and are identified as Monterey County Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN) 020-351-067; 020-351- 068; and 020-351-069.

This report is presented as a Restricted Appraisal Report that is intended to comply with USPAP Standards Rule 2-2(b). As such, use of this report is limited to the client and named intended users because it may not contain supporting rationale for all of the opinions and conclusions that are set forth. Based on the inspection of the property and the investigations and analyses undertaken, I have formed the opinion that as of June 1, 2025, the market value range for each parcel is between $180,000 and $195,000.

The restricted appraisal report that follows consists of xx pages and sets forth the identification of the property, the assumptions and limiting conditions, a summary description of the subject property, and a summary table of the market data utilized the conclusions set forth.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Subject Address: 469, 473 and 477 Venice Way, Gonzales, CA 93926 Identification: Monterey County Assessor Parcel Numbers 020-351-067-000; 020-351-068-000; and 020-351-069-000.

Client: City of Gonzales.

Intended Users: The client is the only intended user of this Restricted Appraisal Report. No other users of this report are intended by the appraiser.

Intended Use: To assist the client in making future decisions regarding a possible sale of the property. This report is not intended for review by the Department of General Services.

Property Rights: Fee simple interest1. Type of Value: Market value2 . Date of the Report: The report was prepared in May and June 2025. Exposure Time: An exposure time of 6 to 12 months is considered reasonable and applied in this analysis.

Effective Date: June 1, 2025.

Appraisal Conditions: The subject properties are appraised under the extraordinary assumptions3that (1) each property is free and clear of any environmental, hazardous, or toxic contamination that would adversely impact value; and (2) each parcel would be allowed by the City of Gonzales to be developed for a single-family dwelling, consistent with the neighboring parcels.

Property History: There were no transfers of ownership within the past three years. I am not aware of any purchase options/agreements affecting the subject property. 1 Fee simple interest is defined as “Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power and escheat.

Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal – 6th Edition. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2015) p. 90. 2 Market value is defined as “The fair market value of the property taken is the highest price on the date of valuation that would be agreed to by a seller, being willing to sell but under no particular or urgent necessity for so doing, nor obliged to sell, and a buyer, being ready, willing, and able to buy but under no particular necessity for so doing, each dealing with the other with full knowledge of all the uses and purposes for which the property is reasonably adaptable and available” (California Code of Civil Procedure §1263.320). 3 Extraordinary assumption is defined as “An assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, as of the effective date of the assignment results, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions” (Ibid., p. 83).

Attachment: 469, 473, 477 Venice Way (3374 : Presentation on City Property Appraisals) Scope of Work: The subject was inspected by John Piini on May 2, 2025. In addition to the onsite inspection the scope of work included an investigation of single-family residential lot sales within the market area. Due to the lack of residential lots sales, a review and analysis of single-family residential properties was conducted to extract a reasonable allocation of land value.

Dear Mr. Dobbins:

Upon your authorization, we conducted the investigations and analyses necessary to form an opinion as to the present-day range in the fee simple market value for the day care center located at 225 Elko Street, Gonzales.

The day care center is a part of Monterey County Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 020-111-022, which is a

1.62-acre parcel, owned by the City of Gonzales and improved with a public swimming pool (Gonzales Community Pool) and the day care center. The day care center occupies approximately 0.47 acres of the larger parcel and this appraisal is predicated upon the extraordinary assumption that the Day Care Center is a separate and legal parcel.

This report is presented as a Restricted Appraisal Report that is intended to comply with USPAP Standards Rule 2-2(b). As such, use of this report is limited to the client and named intended users because it may not contain supporting rationale for all of the opinions and conclusions that are set forth. Based on the inspection of the property and the investigations and analyses undertaken, we have formed the opinion that as of June 1, 2025, the market value range for the fee simple interest in the subject property is $500,000 to $550,000.

The restricted appraisal report that follows sets forth the identification of the property, the assumptions and limiting conditions, a summary description of the subject property, and summaries of the valuation approaches utilized.

This location is within the center of Gonzales and the land uses along Elko Street, between 7th Street to the north and Fairview Road to the south include the La Gloria Elementary School, Fairview Middle School and Gonzales High School. Outside the public serving facilities, the predominate land use is residential, consisting mostly of single-family residential homes
Site: The subject property is part of a larger parcel; however, for the purpose of this appraisal, it is assumed to be a separate and legal 0.47-acre, irregular shaped parcel as depicted in the prior image.

Improvements: This site is improved with a single story 2,780 square foot commercially operated day care center. The building has a concrete block foundation, stucco siding with dual pane windows and the front and rear entrances are equipped with ADA ramps. Current layout provides for two large rooms, an office, a kitchen and three bathrooms. Overall, the property is in good condition. There is an enclosed 4,700 square foot yard area in the back composed mostly of a concrete patio and small lawn area, and seven parking spaces along Elko Street.

Highest & Best Use: The subject is used as a day care center, which would be categorized as a commercial office. The highest and best use is the current use or as a commercial office. Valuation Comments: The valuation of the subject property is predicated upon the sales comparison approach and the income approach. The cost approach is not applied due to the lack of commercial office land in the market area.

Sales Comparison Approach:

The sales that provide the greatest comparability are summarized below. Due to the lack of comparable sales in the city of Gonzales, sales in South Monterey County and Salinas are considered. The selected sales are summarized below:

Sale 1: Sale 1 is located in Soledad and situated on an interior lot fronting the east side of Front Street, which is the main commercial arterial for Soledad. This property is improved with a two-story, unreinforced mixed-use building that has a 2,297 square foot retail space on the ground level and a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor.

At the time of sale, the ground floor was occupied by an auto parts store that was paying $1,900 per month ($0.83/SF) on a month-to-month tenancy, and the apartment unit was vacant.

An income analysis of the sale indicates an overall rate of about 5.8 % on first year income at market rent.

Sale 2: Sale 2 is located on south Main Street in Salinas near Salinas High School. This property shares a common parking lot with the adjoining properties and is improved with a 5,473 square foot commercial building that is divided into two rental units. Each unit is utilized for hair salons. The building is an average quality single-story building that was constructed in 1975.

Market rent for the two units was about $1.30 per square foot and the sale indicates a first-year rate of return of about 6.5%.

Sale 3: Sale 3 is located in south Salinas, behind the Star Market Shopping Center and one-half block from the Pajaro Street and Blanco Road intersection. This property has a 9,300 square foot lot and is improved with a single story, 5,630 square foot, wood frame commercial building that was constructed in 1963.

The property was acquired by the tenant who had a three-year lease that included an option to purchase the property for $975,000 at the end of the lease. The contract rent for the three years was at $5,000 per month ($0.89/SF) on a modified gross basis. The tenant, who operates a veterinarian clinic, exercised the option to purchase in April 2025.

An income analysis of the sale indicates an overall rate of about 5.3% on first year income. Sale 4: Sale 4 is located on State Street in Soledad, in an area composed mostly of commercial industrial and storage warehouses. The property is improved with a single story, low-cost commercial building and an attached 2-bed and 1-bath apartment unit. The commercial building is 2,600 square feet and divided into two units.

The property was offered for sale in May 2023 at an asking price of $598,000 and sold in February 2024 for $570,000. At the time of sale, the commercial building was vacant.

Sale 5: Sale 5 is another improved commercial sale located at 515 Front Street in Soledad. The property is improved with a two-unit, unreinforced masonry retail building that was constructed in 1928.

The property was offered for sale in January 2024 at an asking price of $575,000 and sold within one month for $605,000. At the time of sale, the retail units included a barber shop and an ice cream parlor. The units were rented at a below market rent of $0.44 per square foot.

Sale 6: Sale 6 is located in south Salinas in a mixed-use area of multi-family residential and several former residences and duplexes converted to offices. This property is a former duplex building that was converted to a two-unit office building. At the time of sale, the property was owner-occupied and used for a chiropractic business. One of the units continues to be used for a chiropractic office and the second unit for skin care. Market rent for the units is $2.25 per square foot and the sale indicates a first-year rate of return of about 7.0%.

Sale Adjustments: The sale adjustment grid summarizes the various adjustments applied in comparing the sales to the subject property:

In comparing the sales to the subject, quantifying adjustments is difficult due to the limited number of commercial sales in the market area and the sales that occurred do not necessarily provide a consistent pattern. For instance, Sales 2 and 3 are considered superior to Sales 4 and 5 and yet Sales 4 and 5 sold for a higher per square foot price. The difference in size would account for some of that, but not all.

In review of the above, Sale 1 is considerably inferior to the subject and that sale brackets the low end of value at $160 per square foot. Sale 6 is considerably superior and based on that sale, the value of the subject is less than $215 per acre.

After adjusting the remaining four sales for differences in location and building size the adjusted range from these four sales is between $190 per square foot and $200 per square foot. Hence,

LIMITING CONDITIONS

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF APPRAISAL
This appraisal is for no purpose other than property valuation, and the appraiser(s) is neither qualified nor attempting to go beyond that narrow scope. The reader should be aware that there are also inherent limitations to the accuracy of the information and analyses contained in this appraisal. Before making any decision based on the information and analysis contained in this report, it is critically important to read this entire section to understand these limitations.

APPRAISAL IS NOT A LEGAL OPINION
No opinion is intended to be expressed for legal matters or that would require specialized investigation or knowledge beyond that ordinarily employed by real estate appraisers, although such matters may be discussed in the report.

Any significant question should be addressed to local zoning or land use officials and/or an attorney.

Testimony or attendance in court or at any other hearing is not required by reason of rendering this appraisal unless a signed contract has been executed prior to the date of this report.

APPRAISAL IS NOT A SURVEY
No engineering survey has been made by the appraiser, and no responsibility is assumed in connection with such matters. Except as specifically stated, data relative to size and area were taken from sources considered reliable, and no encroachment of real property improvements is assumed to exist.

Packet Pg. 102 Attachment: MAOF Child Care Facility 225 Elko St (3374 : Presentation on City Property Appraisals) Restricted Appraisal Report – 225 Elko Street Page 12
It is assumed that the utilization of the land and improvements is within the boundaries of the property lines of the property described and that there is no encroachment or trespass unless noted in the report.

APPRAISAL IS NOT AN ENGINEERING OR PROPERTY INSPECTION REPORT AND IS MADE UNDER CONDITIONS WITH

LIMITED DATA
This appraisal should not be considered a report on the physical items that are a part of this property.

No chemical or scientific tests were performed by the appraiser(s) on the subject property, and it is assumed that the air, water, ground and general environment associated with the property present no physical or health hazard of any kind unless otherwise noted in the report. It is further assumed that the lot does not contain any type of dump site and that there are no underground tanks (or any underground source) leaking toxic or hazardous chemicals into the groundwater or the environment unless otherwise noted in the report. If any problems of this nature are known to the appraiser(s) which, in the appraiser's opinion would create a significant problem, they are disclosed in this report.

Nondisclosure should not be taken as an indication that such a problem does not exist, however. An expert in the field should be consulted if any interested party has questions on environmental factors. If it is found that any of the aforementioned is present, the value of the property may be adversely affected and a re-appraisal at additional cost will be necessary to estimate the effects of such.

Because no detailed inspection was made, and because such knowledge goes beyond the scope of this appraisal, any observed condition or other comments given in this appraisal report should not be taken as a guarantee that a problem does not exist. Specifically, no guarantee is made as to the adequacy or Packet Pg. 103 Attachment: MAOF Child Care Facility 225 Elko St (3374 : Presentation on City Property Appraisals) Restricted Appraisal Report – 225 Elko Street Page 13
condition of the foundation, roof, exterior walls, interior walls, floors, heating system, air conditions system, plumbing, electrical service, insulation, or any other detailed construction matters. If any interested party is concerned about the existence, condition or adequacy of any particular item, we would strongly suggest that a construction expert be hired for a detailed investigation.

APPRAISAL REPORT LIMITATIONS
Appraisal reports are technical documents addressed to the specific technical needs of clients. Casual readers should understand that this report does not contain all of the information we have concerning the subject property or the real estate market. While no factors we believe to be significant but unknown to the client have been knowingly withheld, it is always possible that we have information of significance which may be important to others but which, with our limited acquaintance of the property and our limited expertise, does not seem to be important. On the other hand, appraisal reports are performed with a limited amount of data. Data limitations result from a lack of certain areas of expertise by the appraiser (that go beyond the scope of the ordinary knowledge of an appraiser), the inability of the appraiser to view certain portions of the property, the inherent limitations of relying upon information provided by others, etc.

Opinions and estimates expressed herein represent the appraiser's best judgment but should not be construed as advice or recommendation to act. Any actions taken by you, the client, or any others should be based on your own judgment, and the decision process should consider many factors other than just the value estimate and information given in this report.

Appraisal reports made for lenders are technical documents specifically made to lender requirements.

Casual readers are cautioned about their limitations and cautioned against possible misinterpretation of the information contained in these reports.

The estimated market value, which is defined in the report, is subject to change with market changes over time. Value is highly related to exposure, time, promotional effort, terms, motivation, and conditions. The value estimates consider the productivity and relative attractiveness of the property physically and economically in the marketplace as of the date of value.

Location: The property is located at 113 4th Street. The surrounding land uses along 4th Street include city hall, the Gonzales police station and other governmental offices.

Site: The subject parcel is an interior lot with 90-feet of frontage on the north side of 4 th Street and a depth of 140-feet. Lot size is 12,600 square feet.

Improvement: The site is improved with a single story, 5,330 square foot that is currently divided into three rental units, which are summarized below:

The building has a concrete slab foundation, stucco and slump stone siding, single pane windows and a flat, tar and gravel roof. Each rental unit has its own access and there are no common areas shared by the three units. The entrance to the Gonzales Medical Center has direct access at 4th Street and the entrance has a steep concrete slope that does not meet ADA standards.

There is one gas and one electrical meter. To the east of the building is a 7,000 ± square foot paved parking lot that provides for 14 parking spaces. This parking lot overlaps onto the Gonzales City Hall parcel (APN 020-073-001). It is assumed that if the subject parcel were sold, right-of-way’s and easements would be established to allow the continued shared use of the on-site parking.

The second tenant, LabCorp is on a month-to-month term and pays approximately $790+. The Gonzales Medical Center has a Lease that expires on December 30, 2027 and is currently dramatically under market and it is this reason why the client requests a leased fee valuation range. The terms of the Gonzales Medical Center are further summarized as follows:

Land Use Policies: The property is within the Historic District (H) and zoned Public Facility (PF).

Highest & Best Use: The subject is located in the Historic District of downtown Gonzales and the surrounding land uses are commercial and governmental buildings. The highest and best use is as an office use. Valuation Comments: For the valuation of the subject property, the fee simple value is determined first, and it is predicated upon the sales comparison approach and the income approach. The cost approach is not applied due to the lack of commercial office land in the market area.

Following the conclusion of the fee simple value range, the leased fee value range is predicated on the present value of the difference between the contract rent and market rent.

FEE SIMPLE VALUE RANGE
Sales Comparison Approach: The sales that provide the greatest comparability are summarized below. Due to the lack of comparable sales in the city of Gonzales, sales in south Monterey County and Salinas are considered. The selected sales are summarized below:

Packet Pg. 113 Attachment: Old Medical Building 113 Fourth St (3374 : Presentation on City Property Appraisals) Restricted Appraisal Report – 113 4th Street Page 6
Sale 1: Sale 1 is located in Soledad and situated on an interior lot fronting the east side of Front Street, which is the main commercial arterial for Soledad. This property is improved with a two-story, unreinforced mixed-use building that has a 2,297 square foot retail space on the ground level and a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor.

At the time of sale, the ground floor was occupied by an auto parts store that was paying $1,900 per month ($0.83/SF) on a month-to-month tenancy, and the apartment unit was vacant.

An income analysis of the sale indicates an overall rate of about 5.8 % on first year income at market rent.

The property was offered for sale in May 2023 at an asking price of $900,000 and sold within 30 days to one of the tenants at a sale price of $910,000.

Market rent for the two units was about $1.30 per square foot and the sale indicates a first-year rate of return of about 6.5%.

An income analysis of the sale indicates an overall rate of about 5.3% on first year income.

Sale 4: Sale 4 is located on State Street in Soledad, in an area composed mostly of commercial industrial and storage warehouses. The property is improved with a single story, low-cost commercial building and an attached 2-bed and 1-bath apartment unit. The commercial building is 2,600 square feet and divided into two units.

The property was offered for sale in May 2023 at an asking price of $598,000 and sold in February 2024 for $570,000. At the time of sale, the commercial building was vacant.

Sale 5: Sale 5 is another improved commercial sale located at 515 Front Street in Soledad. The property is improved with a two-unit, unreinforced masonry retail building that was constructed in 1928.

Sale Adjustments:

The sale adjustment grid that follows summarizes the various adjustment applied in comparing the sales to the subject property.

Packet Pg. 115 Attachment: Old Medical Building 113 Fourth St (3374 : Presentation on City Property Appraisals) Restricted Appraisal Report – 113 4th Street Page 8
In comparing the sales to the subject, quantifying adjustments is difficult due to the limited number of commercial sales in the market area and the sales that occurred do not necessarily provide a consistent pattern. For instance, Sales 2 and 3 are considered superior to Sales 4 and 5 and yet Sales 4 and 5 sold for a higher per square foot price. The difference in size would account for some of that, but not all
In review of the above, Sale 1 is considerably inferior to the subject and that sale brackets the low end of value at $151 per square foot. Sale 6 is considerably superior and based on that sale, the value of the subject is less than $284 per acre.

After adjusting the remaining four sales for differences in location and building size the adjusted range from these four sales is between $145 per square foot and $160 per square foot, from which the value range derived from the sales comparison approach is $155 to $165 per square foot.

LEASED FEE VALUE RANGE
The Gonzales Medical Center Lease has a below market rent with 31 months remaining on the lease term. This creates a leased fee interest that has a lower value than the fee simple value. For this particular property, the leased fee value is measured by the present value of the rental difference between market rent and contract rent for the remaining lease term.

The following table summarizes the conclusion of the leased fee value range.

Unit 1 Market rent per month $3,750
Unit 1 Contract rent per month $500
