SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Preliminarily Approve the Engineer’s Report and Assessments for Fiscal Year 2026; and Set June 24, 2025, as the Public Hearing Date for Such Actions for Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting District No. 96-1, Zones 1 through 18

RECOMMENDATION

That Council adopts a resolution of intention (Attachment II) to preliminarily approve the Engineer’s report (Attachment III) and assessments for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 96-1 for FY 2026 and sets June 24, 2025 as the public hearing date.

SUMMARY

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires an annual review and update of the Engineer’s Report to set annual assessment rates for each benefit zone. Assessment rate recommendations are made based on annual expenses, required cash flow, and capital replacement requirements.

Recommended annual assessment rates cannot exceed the Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) Rate established when a zone was originally formed. The annual engineer’s report is included as Attachment III and includes a detailed summary for each of the eighteen benefit zones.

BACKGROUND

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code §22500) is a flexible tool used by local government agencies to form Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts to finance the cost and expense of operating, maintaining, and servicing landscaping (including parks), and lighting improvements in public areas. In 1996, six separate Landscaping and Lighting Districts, Benefit Zones 1-6, were consolidated into one district, Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 96-1, “the District,” by the adoption of Resolution No. 96-63. In subsequent years, zones 7-18 were individually created and annexed into the District. This staff report and attached engineer’s report provide assessment, benefit, and budget details for each of the established eighteen zones. Table 1 on the following page provides a summary of the benefit zones, including the year in which each zone was formed and the number of assessable parcels within each zone.

DISCUSSION

Recommended changes to a zone’s annual assessment rate are based on annual expenses, required cash flow, and capital replacement requirements. When determining the annual assessment rate, staff looks at two things:

(1) Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) – The MBA is the maximum assessment rate that a parcel can be charged annually. This amount is established during the original formation of the zone.

The annual MBA can only be increased if an inflation factor was included in the original formation document.

(2) Assessment Revenue – The assessment revenue is the annual amount of revenue collected by charging each parcel an assessment rate. The assessment rate recommendation depends on review of the following three items:

a. Annual Expenses – Annual operating and maintenance expenses are estimated based on past years’ experience and future years’ estimates. Expenses include staff administration, noticing, and annual reporting.

b. Cash Flow – This is the amount of “cash” needed to pay monthly invoices when revenue is not received monthly (assessment rates are received through property tax revenues collected by Alameda County, which are transmitted to the City three times a year (January, May, and June).
c. Capital Replacement – This is the “savings account” where funds are collected and reserved each year to fund future capital replacement items. Future capital expenses are estimated based on an inventory of capital items, their useful life, and future replacement cost.

Table 2 on the following page summarizes assessment information by zone. The table provides assessment details for each zone by describing the number of parcels, if there is an annual inflation adjustment included in the MBA rate, the FY 2025 assessment rate, and the change between last year’s adopted assessment and this year’s recommended assessment.

For FY 2026, staff recommends no change to four zones (Zones: 5, 6, 15, 16 and 18) and fourteen increases (Zones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 17), based on annual expenses, required cash flow, and future capital replacement.

Proposition 218 Compliance
For FY 2026, all assessments are proposed to be levied in compliance with Proposition 218 and do not require the noticing and balloting of property owners to obtain their approval. Any future increases in the assessment amounts that would exceed the MBA amount would require noticing and balloting of property owners.

FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund from this recommendation; all expenditures are paid by assessment rates in each respective zone. All zones have adequate cash balances for annual expenses, cash flow, and capital replacement at this time.

PUBLIC CONTACT

City staff: 1) mailed a postcard to all affected property owners to provide details of their recommended FY 2026 assessment rate and to alert them to two Council meetings where they could provide input (June 3 and June 24); 2) held a virtual meeting on May 28 via Zoom; and 3) will publish a printed legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 13, 2025.

NEXT STEPS

Following this Council meeting, the City is proposing to hold a public hearing on June 24, 2025, to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amounts as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the County Auditor’s office to be included on the FY 2026 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes. All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.

If Council adopts the attached resolution of intention, a noticed public hearing on June 24, 2025, to consider approving the Engineer’s Report and ordering the levy of assessments for FY 2026 will be scheduled.

Engineer’s Report, FY 2026

Introduction
Overview
Each fiscal year an Engineer's Report (the "Report") is prepared and presented to the City of Hayward City Council (the "Council") describing the City’s Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 96-1 (the "District"). The Report details changes to the District or improvements, an estimate of the costs of the maintenance, operations, and servicing of the improvements, and the proposed budget and assessments for that fiscal year.

Through a professional service agreement with SCI Consulting Group (the “Consultant”), the City of Hayward (the “City”) has requested the Consultant prepare and file the Report for the referenced fiscal year. This is the detailed Report for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2026 regarding the District and the proposed assessments to be levied on the properties therein to provide ongoing funding for the costs and expenses required to service and maintain landscape and lighting improvements associated with and resulting from development of properties within the District, in accordance with the proportional special benefits the properties receive from the improvements.

Following the preparation of the annual Report, a public hearing is held before the Council to allow the public an opportunity to hear and be heard regarding the District. Following consideration of all public comments and written protests at the noticed p ublic hearing, and review of the Report, the Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report, and confirmation of the assessments, the Council shall order the levy and collection of asse ssments for FY 202 6. In such case, the levy information will be submitted to the Alameda County Auditor/Controller and included as assessments on the property tax roll for the various services provided in FY 2026.

Background
In November 1996, the voters of California adopted Proposition 218 (the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act"), which has been codified as Articles XIII C and XIII D of the California Constitution. The 1972 Act permits the creation of benefit zones within any indiv idual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22547). If, in any year, the proposed annual assessments for the District exceed the maximum assessments previously approved in a Proposition 218 proceeding (or grandfathered under Proposition 218), such an assessment would be considered a new or increased assessment and be confirmed through a mailed property owner protest ballot proceeding before that new or increased assessment could be imposed.

City of Hayward
LLAD No. 96-1
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026

Method of Apportionment
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and street lighting improvements.

Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:

TABLE 3: ESTIMATED CASH BALANCE CHANGES PER BENEFIT ZONE Cash Balance:

LLAD No. 96-1
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026

assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000)) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]."
Proposition 218 also requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the propo rtional special benefit conferred on the property. Because assessments are levied based on benefit, they are not considered a tax, and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.

The 1972 Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the im provement" (Sec. 22547). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax." Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements, and rights-of-ways.

Zone Classification
Each benefit zone is unique and distinguishable from other benefit zones located within the District. Each benefit zone is evaluated to determine which improvements are of a specific and direct benefit to the parcels in that benefit zone. Once the improvements have been identified, a method of spreading those costs to the benefiting parcels was developed.

As certain subdivisions develop throughout the City of Hayward, they may be annexed into an existing zone or there may be a new zone formed. Each new subdivision is evaluated to determine which improvements are of a specific and direct benefit to the parcels within the subdivision and then a determination is made whether to annex them into an existing zone or whether to form a new zone. The parcels, which benefit from the improvements, are identified and a benefit assessment spread methodology is developed to spread the costs of the improvements to the benefiting parcels.

Details of the various zones in the District, their corresponding number of parcels in each benefit zone, and the method of apportioning the costs of the improvements are in the zone description section.

LLAD No. 96-1
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026

Assessment Roll
A list of names and addresses of the owners of all parcels, and the description of each lot or parcel within the City’s Landscaping & Lighting Assessment District No. 96 -1 is shown on the last equalized Property Tax Roll of the Assessor of the County of Al ameda, which by reference is hereby made a part of this report.

This list is keyed to the Assessor's Parcel Numbers as shown on the Assessment Roll, which includes the proposed assessment amount for FY 202 6 apportioned to each lot or parcel. The Assessment Roll is on file in the Office of the City Clerk of the City of Hayward.

Estimate of Costs
The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of the public landscaping, street lighting, open space facilities, parks, trails, etc. can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the district, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the construction, operation, maintenance, and servicing of the district can also be included.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures for the District. Funds raised by the assessments shall be used only for the purposes as stated herein. Any balance remaining on July 1 at the end of the fiscal year must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

The estimated FY 2026 revenues and expenditures for the proposed District are itemized by zone below. For a detailed breakdown of the operation, maintenance, and servicing costs for each benefit zone, please refer to the budget page following each zone’s description.

Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218 Compliance 1
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural req uirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. These new procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. H owever, if an increase in the assessment was anticipated in the assessment formula (for example, to reflect the CPI or an assessment cap) then the City would be following the provisions of Proposition 218 if the assessments did not exceed the assessment formula.

All the assessments proposed within the FY 2026 Engineer’s Report are equal to or less than the Maximum Base Assessment Rate authorized; therefore, Article XIIID, Section 4 vote requirements do not apply to these proceedings.

Inflation Factor Allowance Overview
No Allowance - Five of the eighteen benefit zones (1, 2, 4, 5, 6) do not have an inflation factor allowance within their respective assessment formula to increase their Maximum Base Assessment.

Allowance - Thirteen of eighteen benefit zones (3, 7-18) have an inflation factor allowance within their respective assessment formula to increase their Maximum Base Assessment Rate annually based upon the change in the prior year’s CPI. Their inflation factor is described below.

Benefit zones 3, 7-13, 17-18 apply the February CPI-U for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA MSA
2 inflation factor. The CPI- U increase from February 202 4 to February 202 5 was 2.89%; therefore, a 2.89% increase was applied to the FY 2026 Maximum Base Assessment Rate for zones 3, 7-13, 17-18.

LLAD No. 96-1
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026

Benefit zones 12 annexation, 14 -16 apply the December CPI -U for the San Francisco -Oakland- Hayward, CA MSA3 inflation factor, capped at 3.00% per fiscal year. Any change in the CPI in excess of 3.00% shall be cumulatively reserved as the “Unused CPI” and shall be used to increase the maximum authorized assessment rate in years in which the CPI is less than 3%. The CPI-U increase from December 2023 to December 2024 was 2.38% and the unused CPI from previous years is

3.15%; therefore, the Maximum Base Assessment Rate for zones 12 annexation, 14-16 have been increased by 3.00%.

Noticing, Public Comment, and Public Hearing
Noticing and information regarding this report were provided via the following methods: 1) mailed a notice to all affected property owners to provide detail of their recommended FY 202 6 assessment rate and to alert them to three public meetings where they could provide input (May 28, June 3, June 24), and published a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 13, 2025.

On June 24, 2025, the City is proposing to hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amounts as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the Alameda County Auditor’s Office to be included on the FY 2026 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes.

All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.

Note: the ownership and responsibility of the masonry wall as a structure remains with the individual property owners.

Notes:
• In FY 2004, a group of property owners within Zone 3 formed a Landscape Committee. • In FY 2006, a Proposition 218 Election was held to increase the base assessment amount from $328.82 to $1,023.56 per parcel for the first three years to fund the cost of a comprehensive landscape plan (capital plan). The $694.74 increase was made up of two parts. One, an increase of $365.70 per year for maintenance; and two, an increase of $329.04 per year for capital. The three -year capital plan included 1) Bus Stop and Open Area Across Street on Fox Hollow Drive; 2) Open Area South of 28525 Fox Hollow Drive; 3) Hayward Blvd., Fairview Drive, and Barn Rock Drive.
• In FY 2009, the rate returned to $694.52 per year, which may be increased each year by inflation

• The per parcel charge for Future Developed parcels will increase from the previous year from $216.34 to $237.97.

• In FY 2017, the assessment rate was reduced 58% from $379 to $156, as expenses were stable, and the account balance was healthy. However, since that time, expenses have increased, to include water, general maintenance, and ongoing upkeep of the district.

The increase in costs, along with use of the account balance has necessitated the need to increase rates annually since the initial decrease in FY 2017.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Preliminarily Approve the Engineer's Report and Levy Assessments for Fiscal Year 2026 for Maintenance District No. 1 - Storm Drainage Pumping Station and Storm Drain Conduit Located at Pacheco Way, Stratford Road and Ruus Lane, and Set June 24, 2025, as the Public Hearing Date

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) to preliminary approve the Engineer’sReport and levy assessments for Fiscal Year 2026 for Maintenance District No. 1 - Storm Drainage Pumping Station and Storm Drain Conduit located at Pacheco Way, Stratford Road, and Ruus Lane, and set June 24, 2025 as the public hearing date.

SUMMARY
This report is being provided, as required by the Hayward Municipal Code, to preliminarily approve the Engineer’sReport, to include the FY 2026 annual assessment and budget for Maintenance District No. 1 (MD 1).

MD 1 was formed in 1995 as a financial funding mechanism to fund the ongoing operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of a Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS) in perpetuity. The SWLS was built by the developer as a condition of development for construction of the Stratford Village neighborhood. The SWLS is the only privately built SWLS in the City, built only to service the Stratford Village neighborhood.

Following construction of the facility, the Alameda County Flood Control District (County) was asked to take over ownership and maintenance of the facility since the County operated similar facilities within the City and the County. The agreement signed by both parties calls for the City to act as an intermediary, using District funds to reimburse the County for annual expenses and supply District funds annually for a capital replacement fund.

The FY 2026 assessment charged to the 174 property owners is being recommended to be levied at the maximum amount allowed by law ($243.92), which is the same as the previous year. The District’s account balance is currently negative, and staff will be analyzing options to remedy the deficit account CITY OF HAYWARD Printed on 5/29/2025Page 1 of 2

balance. The negative balance can be contributed to the following factors:

1. The District was formed without the inclusion of an annual inflation factor in its Maximum Base Assessment Rate calculation.

2. Maintenance & Operation (M&O) charges from the County are inconsistent, and in recent years have gotten larger.

3. The Countywide System Upgrade charge to this district is $503,980.

4. The recent Proposition 218 Election to increase the assessment did not pass.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) to preliminary approve the Engineer’s Report and levy assessments for Fiscal Year 2026 for Maintenance District No. 1 – Storm Drainage Pumping Station and Storm Drain Conduit located at Pacheco Way, Stratford Road, and Ruus Lane, and set June 24, 2025 as the public hearing date.

SUMMARY

This report is being provided, as required by the Hayward Municipal Code, to preliminarily approve the Engineer’s Report, to include the FY 2026 annual assessment and budget for Maintenance District No. 1 (MD 1).

MD 1 was formed in 1995 as a financial funding mechanism to fund the ongoing operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of a Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS) in perpetuity. The SWLS was built by the developer as a condition of development for construction of the Stratford Village neighborhood. The SWLS is the only privately built SWLS in the City, built only to service the Stratford Village neighborhood.

The FY 2026 assessment charged to the 174 property owners is being recommended to be levied at the maximum amount allowed by law ($243.92), which is the same as the previous year. The District’s account balance is currently negative, and staff will be analyzing options to remedy the deficit account balance. The negative balance can be contributed to the following factors:

1. The District was formed without the inclusion of an annual inflation factor in its Maximum Base Assessment Rate calculation.

2. Maintenance & Operation (M&O) charges from the County are inconsistent, and in recent years have gotten larger.

3. The Countywide System Upgrade charge to this district is $503,980.

4. The recent Proposition 218 Election to increase the assessment did not pass.

BACKGROUND

Annual Report Compliance

In compliance with Section 10-10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code, an annual Engineer’s Report is required to be submitted to the Council. The report is attached (Attachment III) and includes:

1. Description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced;

2. FY 2026 recommended budget;

3. FY 2026 maximum base assessment rate;

4. FY 2026 recommended assessment rate; and

5. Map of the benefit zone (assessment diagram).

Formation

On June 6, 1995, the Council ordered the formation of MD 1 to provide for the maintenance, operation, and capital repair and replacement of storm drainage improvements. A Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS) was constructed to pump storm water run-off outside the neighborhood and into a flood control channel (Ward Creek). The drainage basin includes 29.1 acres, of which 24.7 acres are residential, 1.9 acres are for a park site, and 2.5 acres are for the collector streets of Stratford Road and Ruus Lane. Pacheco Way does not drain into this basin system nor does the industrial property to the south. The total number of lots in the drainage basin is 174. The original assessment rate did not include an annual inflation factor, which impedes the District’s ability for revenue to keep up with expenses.

Following construction of the facility, the Alameda County Flood Control District (County) was asked to take over ownership and maintenance of the facility since the County operated similar facilities within the City and the County. The agreement signed by both parties calls for the City to act as an intermediary, using District funds to reimburse the County for annual expenses and supplying annual District funds to be deposited into a capital replacement fund. The storm water pumping facility includes a masonry building that houses the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System, generator, and four pumps.

Static, Unchangeable Maximum Base Assessment Rate
As part of any district formation, a base annual M&O budget is established, along with a capital replacement estimate. These figures form the basis for the Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) rate, which is the maximum charge that a parcel can be assessed annually. As costs generally increase over time by inflation, many district MBAs include an annual inflation factor in the original calculation so that the assessment revenue can keep up with increases in expenses. In the case of

this district, an inflation adjustment factor was not included in the original calculation; therefore, the MBA cannot be increased without holding a successful Proposition 218 ballot election.

Countywide System Upgrade
In 2018, the County notified the City of its Countywide System Upgrade Project. Stratford Village’s SWLS cost for this upgrade now totals $503,980. During the FY 20191, FY 20202, and FY 20213 annual reports, staff advised the Council of the proposed County charges as the estimates were provided to the City. Since the last report, the County has informed the City of another $42,281 consultant bill.

Failed Proposition 218 Election
On May 4, 2021, the Council initiated a Proposition 218 election, with results tallied on June 22, 2021. The majority of the property owners who submitted ballots rejected a low-interest, long- repayment term $379,000 transfer of funds to pay for needed capital improvements, and to add an annual inflation factor to the maximum amount that can be charged annually. The measure overwhelmingly failed, with 69% of ballots cast (45/65) rejecting the increased assessment and inclusion of an annual inflation factor.

DISCUSSION
This district was established 26 years ago and did not include an inflation factor adjustment for revenue so that income could keep pace with expenditures. Over the years, the district has struggled to pay for basic M&O costs and contribute to a capital reserve, as seen below.

M&O is performed by the County under contract. Over the years, charges for M&O have been inconsistent. In FY 2017 and 2018, M&O charges had increased so much that the City delayed payment for one year to have discussions with the County.

In April 2018, the County alerted the City of additional Stratford Village SWLS District costs. The County advised that they had commissioned consultants to complete a Pump Station Equipment Condition Assessment and were purchasing a new SCADA system which required design and construction consultants. The consultant studies and construction were systemwide, with the Stratford Village SWLS District’s charges totaling $503,980 as shown on the following page. To date, a total of $283,056 in payments have been made, leaving an outstanding balance of $220,924.

(Legend: Paid, Unpaid)

For FY 2026, the District will collect a net annual amount of $41,721. For FY 2026, the District will budget $4,827 in annual expenses and pay the remaining unpaid balance.

FISCAL IMPACT

Staff has evaluated the District’s operating balance and confirms that the account has a negative balance which will continue to be negative through FY 2026.

PUBLIC CONTACT

City staff: 1) mailed a postcard notice to property owners to let them know of the recommended FY 2026 assessment rate, and to alert them to three Public meetings where they could provide input (May 28, June 3, and June 24); 2) held a virtual community meeting via Zoom on May 28; and 3) will publish a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 13, 2025.

NEXT STEPS

Following this Council meeting, the City of Hayward is proposing to hold a public hearing on June 24, 2025, to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amount as originally proposed or as modified.

Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the Alameda County Auditor’s Office to be included on the FY 2026 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes. All revenue collected through the assessment must be placed in a special account and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.

Introduction
Overview
On January 5, 1993, by Resolution No. 93 -010, the City Council approved the vesting tentative map of Tract 6472, which authorized the subdivision of land on both sides of Stratford Road into 148 single-family home lots. Conditions of approval for Tentative Map Tract 6472, which included Final Tract Maps 6472, 6560, 6682 and 6683, included provisions for storm drainage improvements and construction of an approved stormwater pumping facility. The drainage area and the stormwater pumping facility were analyzed in documents prepared by Wilsey & Ham, Civil Engineers. These documents indicated the following: the drainage basin includes 29.1 acres, of which 24.7 acres are residential, 1.9 acres are for a park site, and 2.5 acres are for the collector streets associated with Stratford Road and Ruus Lane. Pacheco Way does not drain into this drainage basin system nor does the industrial property to the south.

In addition to the 143 lots identified above, final Tract Map 6682, with a total of 31 lots located immediately to the east of Chutney Road, was also approved. Therefore, the total number of residential lots in the drainage basin is 174. In addition to the residential lots, there is a park located on one parcel of land.

On April 18, 1995, the City Council approve the preliminary Engineer’s report, and on May 23, 1995, a public meeting was held to allow affected property owners an opportunity to speak. On June 6, 1995, by Resolution No. 95 -103, the City Council ordered th e formation of Maintenance District No. 1 to provide for the operation and maintenance of the storm drainage improvements and the stormwater pumping facility to serve the drainage basin. The FY 1996 Engineer’s Report (formation report) included a FY 1996 Engineer’s Cost Estimate of $42,686.37.

A Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS) was constructed to pump storm water run-off for the developed area which is adjacent to the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District's (“Flood Control District”) Line B, Zone No. 3A. The plans for the lift station were approved by the City and the Flood Control District. The SWLS was designed with capacity for only the development of the area encompassing the 174 parcels. No added capacity was constructed for run -off from other areas such as the Georgian Manor and Spanish Ranch Mobile Home Parks, which are presently served by a privately owned and operated pumping facility located within each park.

City of Hayward
Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report FY 2026

An agreement between the City and the Flood Control District transferred ownership of the SWLS to the Flood Control District. The agreement states that the Flood Control District concurred with the SWLS transfer subject to the City providing the Flood Control District with the funds to operate, maintain, and provide for capital equipment replacement and for modifications that may become necessary for the optimal performance of the SWLS.

Each year the City evaluates the need to increase the annual assessment to ensure there are adequate funds to continue to provide proper operation, maintenance, and capital replacement of the storm water pumping facilities within Maintenance District No. 1. As part of this effort, no later than December 1, the Flood Control District is required to furnish the City with an itemized estimate of the cost to operate, maintain, and supplement the capital equipment replacement fund for the fiscal year commencing on the next July 1.

Should the capital equipment replacement fund be inadequate to cover unscheduled/emergency repairs, equipment replacement or modifications that are found to be necessary for the normal and safe performance of the Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS), the Flood Control District will provide the City with written notice of the need for additional funding.

Currently there are not sufficient funds to replace the Maintenance District No. 1 capital facilities when they reach the end of their useful lives.

Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural re quirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

Proposition 218 stated that any existing assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems, or vector control on or before November 6, 19 96, shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process of Proposition 218, unless the assessments are increased.

Maintenance District No. 1 imposes an assessment exclusively for flood control and drainage improvements.

Proposition 218 defines increased, when applied to an assessment, as a decision by an agency that does either of the following:
 Increases any applicable rate used to calculate the assessment.  Revises the methodology by which the assessment is calculated, if that revision results in an increased amount being levied on any person or parcel.

City of Hayward
Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report FY 2026

The formation methodology used to calculate the MBA that could be levied in any given year allows the MBA from the prior year to be increased by the prior year’s change in the Consumer Price Index. Therefore, based upon the review of the City Attorney, imp osing the assessment adjustment each year based upon the prior year’s increase in the Consumer Price Index does not require Proposition 218 proceedings.

Noticing, Public Comment, and Public Hearing
Noticing and information regarding this report were provided via the following methods: 1) a notice was mailed to all affected property owners to provide detail of their recommended FY 2026 assessment rate and to alert them to three community meetings where they could provide input (May 28, June 3, June 24); and 2) published a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 13, 2025.

On June 24, 2025, the City is proposing to hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amounts as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the Alameda County Auditor’s Office to be included on the FY 2026 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes.

All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.

Plans and Specifications
Introduction
The annual Engineer’s Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, and serviced; (2) an estimated budget, (3) the maximum base assessment rate, and (4) a listing of the proposed collection rate to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel.

Description of Improvements
The facilities, which have been constructed within the City of Hayward's Maintenance District No. 1 boundaries, and those which may be subsequently constructed, will be operated, maintained, and serviced and are generally described as follows:

The Stratford Village Storm Water Lift Station (SWLS):
 2 - 15 H.P. Pumps
 1 - 5 H.P. Pump
 1 - 3 H.P. Dewatering Pump
 1 - Generator

Fiscal Year 202 6 Estimate of Cost and Budget
Estimate of Costs
Chapter 10, Article 10, Section 10-10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code and as supplemented by the provisions of Chapter 26 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California provides that the total cost of operation, maintenance and servicing of the storm drainage improvements and storm water pumping station can be recovered by the District.

Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with these improvements can also be included.

Tract No. 6472, 6560, 6682, 6683 & 6682
Formed: June 6, 1995
Resolution Number: 95-103
FY 2026
Maximum Base Assessment Rate: $243.92
Assessment Amount per Parcel: $243.92
Number of Parcels: 174
Assessment Income: $42,442.08

The following is an overview of the FY 2026 assessment district:
 Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) Rate: is unchanged from the original amount of $243.92 per parcel, set when the District was created.

 Annual CPI increase: the maximum base assessment amount cannot be increased annually based upon the prior year’s change in the CPI.

 Assessment revenue: the FY 2026 amount needed to operate and maintain the facilities and contribute to the capital reserve is: $42,442.08.

 Annual assessment charge: each of the 174 parcels shall be apportioned an equal share of the total assessment for this zone as the special benefit derived by the individual parcels is indistinguishable from each other. The FY 2026 per parcel charge will remain the same as the FY 2025 amount of $243.92 per parcel. This amount is at the maximum base assessment and is sufficient for maintaining levels of service and for keeping a reserve balance.

 Proposition 218: Future increases in the assessment amount above the MBA amount would require the noticing and balloting of property owners per the requirements of Proposition 218.

City of Hayward
Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report FY 2026

Alameda County Maintenance Contract, Facility Evaluation, & SCADA Upgrade In 2018, the County informed the City of the study, the estimated costs, and the need to repair and replace the infrastructure. The total proposed cost estimate from Alameda County was presented to the City in 2020, totaling $461,699. To date, $87,597 of that amount has been paid to the County, depleting the District’s capital reserve account. An additional payment of $36,613 was made in FY 2021 to cover the second consultant fee. In February 2021, the County presented a third consultant invoice to the City for $42,281, increasing the total project cost to $503,980.

To complete the recommended project scope, an outstanding amount of $220,924 is required. To fund this outstanding amount, a Proposition 218 assessment balloting was conducted to propose an increase to the annual assessment and adding an annual cost-of-living adjustment mechanism to upgrade and restore this neighborhood’s flood control infrastructure to the condition, efficiency, reliability, and effectiveness that was originally intended.

On June 22, 2021, the City Council conducted a public hearing to tabulate property owner ballots regarding formation and levying of assessments for the Stratford Village Flood Control Facilities Improvement Assessment District (MD1 -2021). The tabulation r esulted in a majority protest in opposition to the proposed assessment; therefore, the assessment was not imposed. As a result, the District remains underfunded and the needed capital improvements will not be made at this time.

Method of Apportionment
Chapter 10, Article 10, Section 10-10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code and as supplemented by the provisions of Chapter 26 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies to finance the maintenance and operation of drainage and flood control services, which include the operation, maintenance, and servicing of pump stations.

Proposition 218 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportion al special benefit conferred on the property.

Because assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not considered a tax, and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.

Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements, and rights-of-ways.

The land uses within Maintenance District No. 1 consist of 174 residential parcels and one park parcel. These parcels receive a special benefit in that the pumping station and the storm drains protect the residential parcels and park parcel from storm water flooding. Even though there are only minor structures located on the park parcel it does receive special benefit from flood control improvements and services.

It is estimated that all residential and park parcels derive similar benefits from the flood control improvements and services, therefore the method for spreading the annual costs is on a per parcel basis.

The projected Fiscal Year 202 6 maintenance and operation are estimated to be $ 4,827. The expense does not include the deposit of funds into a capital replacement fund. The collection rate for Fiscal Year 2026 will be at the maximum assessment rate of $243.92 per parcel.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Preliminarily Approve the Engineer's Report and Levy Assessments for Fiscal Year 2026 for Maintenance District No. 2 – Eden Shores Storm Water Facilities and Water Buffer, and Set June 24, 2025, as the Public Hearing Date

RECOMMENDATION

That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) of intention to preliminarily approve the Engineer's Report (Attachment III), levy assessments for FY 2026, and set June 24, 2025 as the public hearing date.

SUMMARY

Maintenance District No. 2 (MD 2) was formed in 2003 to fund the ongoing operation, maintenance, administration, and capital replacement of the water buffer and storm water facilities that border the Eden Shores residential community. This annual report is being provided, as required by the Hayward Municipal Code, to approve the annual assessment rate and expenditure budget.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

On June 24, 2003, the Council ordered the formation of MD 2 to provide for the maintenance, operation, administration, and capital replacement of a water buffer and storm water pre-treatment facility. The water buffer consists of landscaping, recirculating pumps and filters, maintenance roads, pedestrian bridge, and anti-predator and perimeter fencing. The Eden Shores Maintenance District includes three residential tracts (7317, 7360, 7361) totaling 534 homes. The funds collected from the property owners within MD 2 pay for the ongoing annual operation, maintenance, administration, and capital contribution to operate and maintain this important infrastructure.

Capital funds are collected and maintained so that the district has the financial resources available to utilize to repair or replace sections of fencing, pumps, or bridge components in the future.

In compliance with Section 10-10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code, an annual Engineer’s Report is required to be submitted to the Council. The report is attached (Attachment III), and includes:
(1) Description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, serviced, and replaced; (2) FY 2026 recommended budget;
(3) FY 2026 recommended assessment rate; and
(4) Map of the benefit zone (assessment diagram).

Based upon revenues required to fund operations and maintenance, and maintain a capital replacement fund, staff is recommending a FY 2026 per parcel charge of $280.33, which is an increase the assessment rate from FY 2025 ($272.17).

FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT

Staff has evaluated the District’s fund balance and concurs that funds are adequate for FY 2026.

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund associated with this action, as all expenses will be paid using funds held in reserve by MD2.

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not relate to any of the projects outlined in the Council’s Strategic Roadmap.

PUBLIC CONTACT

City staff: 1) mailed a postcard notice to property owners to let them know of their recommended FY 2026 assessment rate, and to alert them to three Public meetings where they could provide input (May 28, June 3, and June 24); 2) held a virtual community meeting via Zoom on May 28; and 3) will publish a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 13, 2025.

NEXT STEPS

Following this Council meeting, the City is proposing to hold a public hearing on June 24, 2025, to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amount as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the County Auditor’s office to be included on the FY 2026 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes. All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report. If the Council adopts the attached resolution of intention, it will hold a noticed public hearing on June 24, 2025, to consider approving the Engineer’s Report and ordering the levy of assessments for FY 2026.

Introduction
Overview
On April 16, 2002, by Resolution No. 02‐043, the City Council approved the Final Map of Tract 7317 for a 114
‐
lot residential subdivision, with 109 single‐family homes, located on the northerly side of Eden Shores Boulevard and westerly of the Union Pacific Railroad.

On
November 26, 2002, by Resolution No. 02‐171, the City Council approved the Final Map of Tract 7361 for a 120 lot residential subdivision, with 116 single‐family homes, located on the southerly side of Eden Shores Boulevard and westerly of the Union Pacific Railroad.

On
June 3, 2003, by Resolution No. 03‐083, the City Council approved the Final Map for Tract 7360, for a 318
‐
lot residential subdivision, with 309 single‐family homes located on the southwesterly side of Eden Shores Drive and westerly of the Union Pacific Railroad. The additional lots in each subdivision, 27 in total, will be landscaped areas, parks, wetlands or buffer areas.

C
onditions of approval for Tracts No. 7317, 7360 and 7361, included provisions for construction of a water buffer channel and storm‐water pretreatment pond, masonry walls, anti‐predator fences, and landscaping within the proposed development area. Maintena nce District No. 2 provides a funding source to operate and maintain these improvements, including the furnishing of water and electrical energy along with debris removal, weeding, trimming, and pest control spraying.

On June 24, 2003, by Resolution No. 03‐102, the City Council ordered the formation of Maintenance District No. 2 to provide the funding for the operation and maintenance of these facilities. The FY 2004 Final Engineer’s Report (formation report) included a FY 2004 budget which proposed $343,875.00 in expenditures at buildout for an anticipated 525 assessable parcels which equated to Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) Rate of $655.00 per parcel. This MBA rate which may be levied is increased each fiscal year by the prior year’s change in the Consumer Price Index.

Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title

City of Hayward
Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report FY 2026

refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

Proposition 218 stated that any existing assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems, or vector control on or before November 6, 1996, shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process of Proposition 218, unless the assessments are increased.

Proposition 218 defines increased, when applied to an assessment, as a decision by an agency that does either of the following:
 Increases any applicable rate used to calculate the assessment.  Revises the methodology by which the assessment is calculated, if that revision results in an increased amount being levied on any person or parcel.

The formation methodology used to calculate the MBA that could be levied in any given year allows the MBA from the prior year to be increased by the prior year’s change in the Consumer Price Index. Therefore, based upon the review of the City Attorney, imp osing the assessment adjustment each year based upon the prior year’s increase in the Consumer Price Index does not require Proposition 218 proceedings.

Noticing, Public Comment, and Public Hearing
Noticing and information regarding this report were provided via the following methods: 1) a notice was mailed to all affected property owners to provide detail of their recommended FY 2026 assessment rate and to alert them to three community meetings where they could provide input (May 28, June 03, June 24); and 2) published a legal notice in the East Bay Times on or before June 13, 2025.

On June 24, 2025, the City is proposing to hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution setting the annual assessment amounts as originally proposed or as modified. Following the adoption of this resolution, the fin al assessor’s roll will be prepared and filed with the Alameda County Auditor’s Office to be included on the FY 2026 tax roll. Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes.

All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this report.

Estimate of Costs
Chapter 10, Article 10, Section 10‐10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code and as supplemented by the provisions of Chapter 26 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California provides that the total cost of operation, mainte nance and servicing of the water buffer channel, water treatment pond, masonry walls, anti‐predator fences and landscaping can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with these improvements can also be included.

Tract No. 7317, 7360 & 7361
Formed: June 24, 2003
Resolution Number: 03‐102
FY 2026
Maximum Base Assessment Rate: $1,183.42
Assessment Amount per Parcel: $280.33
Number of Parcels: 534
Assessment Income: $149,699

The following is an overview of the FY 2026 assessment district:
• Ma
ximum Base Assessment (MBA) Rate: was increased from the prior year’s MBA rate of $1,152.44 to $1,183.42 by applying CPI
‐
U for the San Francisco‐
Oakland‐
Hayward
MSA (2.69% for the period February 2024 to February 2025).

• A
nnual CPI increase: the MBA amount can increase annually based upon the prior year’s change in the CPI.

• Assessment revenue: the FY 2026 amount needed to operate and maintain the facilities and contribute to the capital reserve is: $149,699.

• Annual assessment charge: each of the 534 parcels shall be apportioned an equal share of the total assessment for this zone as the special benefit derived by the individual parcels is indistinguishable from each other. The FY 2026 per parcel charge will increase from the previous year from $2272.17 to $280.33. This amount is below the MBA and is sufficient for maintaining levels of service and for keeping a reserve balance. In future years, if there is a need for additional funds, the assessment amount may be increased up to the MBA amount.

• Proposition 218: Future increases in the assessment amount above the MBA amount would require the noticing and balloting of property owners per the requirements of Proposition 218.

Method of A pportionment
Chapter 10, Article 10, Section 10‐10.25 of the Hayward Municipal Code and as supplemented by the provisions of Chapter 26 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of water buffer channels, water treatment ponds, masonry walls, predator fences and landscaping.

Proposition 218 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportion al special benefit conferred on the property.

Because assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not considered a tax, and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.

Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements, and rights‐of‐ways.

The properties benefiting from the operation, maintenance and servicing of water buffer channels, water treatment ponds, masonry walls, predator fences and landscaping consist of the 534 single‐ family residential lots located within Tracts No. 7317, 7360 and 7361.

Each of the 534 single‐family residential lots receives a special benefit in that they are able to be developed because protection of the adjacent open space has been provided through the construction of these improvements. The special benefit derived by the individual parcels is indistinguishable between parcels. Therefore, all residential parcels derive the same benefit and the corresponding method of assessment for residential land uses is based on a per parcel basis.

The estimated Fiscal Year 2026 proposed assessment revenue is $ 149,699. The proposed assessment for the District for Fiscal Year 202 6 is $ 280.33 per parcel, which is an increased amount compared to the previous fiscal year’s assessment. The MBA amount for the District is subject to an annual adjustment equal to the change in the applying CPI‐U for the San Francisco‐ Oakland‐Hayward MSA from the previous year. The MBA amount for the District for Fisca l Year 2026 has been increased from the previous year’s MBA amount of $ 1,183.42 by 2.69%, which is equal to the percentage increase in CPI‐U from February 2024 to February 2025. The MBA amount for the District for Fiscal Year 2026 is $1,183.42.

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Pavement Engineering, Inc., to Provide Engineering Services for the Fiscal Year 2026 Pavement Improvement Project No. 05347 in a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $339,020

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Pavement Engineering, Inc., (PEI), to provide engineering services for the FY26 Pavement Improvement Project (PIP) No. 05347 in an amount not-to-exceed $339,020.

SUMMARY
Staff has selected a tentative list of streets (Attachment III) for the FY26 PIP No. 05347 and is seeking professional engineering services to assist with the completion of plans, specifications, and cost estimates. The scope of work includes evaluating pavement conditions, measuring field quantities, designing curb ramp upgrades and providing construction support for the FY26 PIP.

RECOMMENDATION

That City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Pavement Engineering, Inc., (PEI), to provide engineering services for the FY26 Pavement Improvement Project (PIP) No. 05347 in an amount not-to-exceed $339,020.

SUMMARY

Staff has selected a tentative list of streets (Attachment III) for the FY26 PIP No. 05347 and is se eking professional engineering services to assist with the completion of plans, specifications, and cost estimates. The scope of work includes evaluating pavement conditions, measur ing field quantities, designing curb ramp upgrades and provid ing construction support for the FY26 PIP.

PEI possesses specialized machinery and equipment such as the pavement deflection trailer that the City lacks, which are essential to completing this work. Given the size and complexity of this project, Staff does not have th e internal resources to complete the design. Therefore, to ensure timely and successful project completion, staff requires the engineering expertise and support of PEI.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on March 28, 2025, via OpenGov, the City’s online procurement portal. The City received one qualified proposal on Thursday, April 24, 2025. After a thorough review, staff recommends executing an agreement with PEI based on their demonstrated expertise in pavement design, extensive experience working with local municipalities, their responsiveness to the RFP requirements , and their cost proposal aligning with those from previous projects.

BACKGROUND

Staff is currently undertaking the street selection for the FY26 PIP where Pavement Condition Index (PCI), location equity, public input, and funding availability are considered.

An RFP was needed to select a design consultant to provide specialized expertise in evaluating pavement conditions, selecting appropriate rehabilitation treatments, and accurately measuring field quantities, which ensures the project design is both technically sound and cost-effective.

DISCUSSION

The scope of work for this PSA consists of the following five tasks:

Task 1 – Street Investigation/Engineering Review:

PEI will visually evaluate the pavement condition of each of the proposed project streets.

The review will confirm the appropriate pavement treatment for each street, such as pavement rehabilitation, preventive maintenance and resurfacing, among other options.

This task will allow staff to refine the project budgets and identify any specific problem areas.

Task 2 – Pavement Evaluation on Pavement Rehabilitation:

PEI will perform a pavement evaluation on each street segment to determine the most cost- effective rehabilitation treatments based on structure requirements, reflective cracking requirements, longevity, and cost/benefit analysis.

Task 3 – Measurement of Field Quantities:

PEI will provide field site evaluations for each of the locations identified on the project streets list to measure and record all pertinent field quantities, such as location of crack sealing, dig-outs, and other pavement repairs.

Task 4 – Curb Ramp Design:

PEI will assist the City with curb ramp designs related to this project. This task involves designing ADA ramps in the field to provide limits of removal and quantities of work.

Task 5 – Construction Support / Mark Pavement Repairs:

PEI will mark all required pavement repairs in the field. PEI will annotate any changed quantities and provide a revised quantity summary to the City at the completion of the field work.

PEI has extensive experience providing engineering services for the City’s annual pavement projects spanning from FY19 to FY25. Staff recommends PEI to provide the engineering services for analysis, design, and construction support for the project.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The project is funded by Gas Tax, Measure B, Measure BB, Vehicle Registration Fees, State Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB1), and Street System Improvement.

This project will economically benefit the City by decreasing motorist travel time via reduced potholes, increase curb appeal and the desirability of residential neighborhoods, and attracting business to the City.

FISCAL IMPACT

The project budget of $10,148,000 is funded via the Gas Tax, Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRAA) (SB1), Measure BB, Vehicle Registration Fees, Measure C, and Street System Improvement funds so there is no direct fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund.

The estimated project funding sources are as follows:
 210 - Gas Tax $500,000
 211 – RRAA (SB1) $5,000,000
 212 - Measure BB – Local Transportation $3,248,000
 218 – Vehicle Registration Fee $400,000
 450 – Street System Improvements $1,000,000
Total: $10,148,000

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item supports the FY25 Strategic Roadmap of Invest in Infrastructure.

Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following project(s):

 Item FM2 - # of miles of bike lanes added.
 Item FM3 - # of miles of repaving completed.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

The eventual pavement project requires the contractor to recycle all construction and demolition debris generated from the project.

This project is consistent with City’s Complete Streets Policy and improves travel for all users including:

 Improved pavement for motorists
 Additional bike lanes and sharrows for bicyclists
 More visible pavement markings for pedestrians, including near school zones  New or upgraded curb ramps to meet the recently revised Caltrans standards for pedestrians

The project satisfies the following 2040 General Plan policies:

 PFS-7.10 Recycled Products or Processes for Capital Projects  HQL-2.5 Safe Routes to School
 HQL-2.6 Education on Sharing the Road
 M-1.7 Eliminate Gaps (in pedestrian networks)
 M-3.1 Serving All Users
 M-5.1 Pedestrian Needs
 M-5.6 Safe Pedestrian Crossings
 M-6.2 Encourage Bicycle Use

PUBLIC CONTACT

There is no public contact need for this item; however, after completion of the design phase and after the construction contract is awarded, a preliminary notice explaining the project will be posted and distributed to all residents and businesses along the affected streets.

After the construction work has been scheduled, signs on barricades will be posted seventy-two hours prior to commencement of work indicating the date and time of work for each street. Residents will be advised to park their vehicles on side streets outside of the work area during the period when the streets are being treated.

NEXT STEPS

If City Council approves staff will finalize a professional services agreement with PEI and a Notice to Proceed will be issued accordingly.

SUBJECT Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement Amendment for Investment Portfolio Management Services with PFM Asset Management LLC for a Period of One Year and Rescind Resolution No. 20-162

RECOMMENDATION

That Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract amendment with PFM Asset Management LLC (PFM) for investment portfolio management services for a period of up to one year and rescind Resolution No. 20- 162 to align with current costs of investment advisory services.

SUMMARY

This amendment will bring the term of services under the current agreement with PFM Asset Management LLC to six years. In April 2025, Finance conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) for investment portfolio management services with a start date of July 1, 2025. Due to recent department transition, awarding a new portfolio investment firm by July 1, 2025, will require months of preparation that the City needs additional time to potentially arrange for. This limited contract extension will allow staff the appropriate time to thoroughly review the submitted proposals from the April 2025 RFP in making a judicious decision on the award of contract.

BACKGROUND

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recognizes that many local governments use the services of investment management firms, and the GFOA offers best practice guidelines in the selection and utilization of such firms. The City’s external auditor, Maze & Associates, opined as part of their FY 2011 year-end audit of the City’s financial statements, that the City at that time did not have a balanced investment portfolio, and recommended that the City consider hiring a third-party investment manager to better manage and diversify the City’s portfolio.

Adoption of the FY 2012 Statement of Investment Policy allowed the Director of Finance upon City Manager direction and authorization by the City Council to engage with an external investment management firm to assist with the City’s portfolio investments following recommendations from the City’s Investment Advisory Committee (IAC) and Council Budget & Finance Committee.

In April 2025, the City conducted a competitive RFP for investment portfolio management services due to the expiration of current PFM agreement and to adhere to the City’s Purchasing policy. The City received eight responses by the May 2, 2025, deadline. These responses have shown to be extensive and will require additional time for a thorough and judicious review by the evaluating committee. Interviews with the selected proposers are scheduled for July 2025, with a tentative start date of services for January 2026.

DISCUSSION

PFM has been actively managing a portion of the City’s investment portfolio since July 1, 2012. While the initial amount managed by PFM was $40 million, they are now authorized to manage approximately $ 285 million of the City’s pooled cash and pooled California Asset Management Program (CAMP) assets. PFM has shown to maintain the City’s assets even during times of economic instability.

While the Director of Finance continues to be the officer responsible of the City regarding the City’s portfolio, PFM assists in the investment management and diversification of the City’s portfolio, b ringing in the professional expertise needed to balance the City’s investment portfolio within Council investment policies and to maximize performance while maintaining safety and liquidity.

Staff is recommending that the City continue its engagement with PFM and authorize a contract amendment for up to one year. The amended contract will provide continued service to assist with the City’s active portfolio management through the completion of the RFP process.

The evaluating committee will have sufficient time to thoroughly complete the RFP process and have ample time for staf f to arrange for the possibility of switching to a new portfolio management provider. A new contract for advisory investment services will be presented to the City Council for consideration upon completion of the RFP process with an anticipated service start date of January 1, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT

The cost of services is based on the amount of funds being actively managed. PFM charges 7 basis points (.07%) per year on the first $100 million of assets under management, 6 basis points (0.06%) per year on the next $100 million of assets, and 4 basis points (0.04%) per year on assets over $200 million.

Based on this cost structure, the annual cost will be approximately $225,000 under the current assets invested. Assets are dependent on market volatility and annual cost is subject to adjust in relation to this. An allocation is included in the Finance Department General Fund budget each fiscal year to cover th e annual cost for investment portfolio services– offset by a like amount of assumed interest revenue growth.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

This is a routine operational item and does not relate to strategic initiatives.

PUBLIC CONTACT

An addendum was publish ed to RFP 25-043, Municipal Investment Advisory and Portfolio Management Services, to OpenGov on May 15, 2025, alerting all proposers of the tentative adjusted timeline.

NEXT STEP

Upon approval by City Council, the City Manager will proceed with executing an amended agreement with PFM Management Asset LLC for up to one year while staff complete the RFP process.

SUBJECT Adopt a Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications and Call for Bids for the FY25 Sidewalk Rehabilitation and Wheelchair Ramp Project, Project No. 05340

RECOMMENDATION

That City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) approving the plans and specifications for the FY25 Sidewalk Rehabilitation and Wheelchair Ramps Project and call for bids to be received on July 15, 2025.

SUMMARY

This Project is a continuation of the City’s Annual Sidewalk Repair Program that began in 2001. The City is currently divided into ten districts for the purpose of the Program (Attachment III ). Two districts, 7 and 10, will be the focus of this year’s program to address continuous repair and improvement needs.

The project budget is $ 1,000,000 and is included in the FY2 5 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Project includes 100 locations for sidewalk repair and installation of approximately 17 wheelchair ramps. The proposed improvements will repair damaged sections of sidewalks and increase pedestrian mobility.

BACKGROUND

When the Program was initiated, the City was divided into ten districts to facilitate the selection of sidewalk areas for repairs during each year of a ten-year cycle. This year, the work will be performed in two districts, Districts 7 and 10.

The Program for the repair of damaged concrete sidewalks consists of two components each performed under separate construction contracts. City staff conducted a sidewalk survey in these districts to identify the number and location of sidewalk repairs. The first contract, which will be processed under the City Manager’s contract authority, will remove tripping hazards from sidewalk displacements or offsets up to 1¾ inches. These hazards will be removed by saw cutting or grinding each uplifted sidewalk panel across the width of

the sidewalk to produce a smooth and uniform surface that meets the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) slope requirements. Grinding or saw cutting up to 1¾” from a short segment of the typical 4” sidewalk section is less expensive and more cost effective than the removal and replacement of an entire sidewalk section.

The second component of the Program, which is the subject of this report, removes and replaces, with new concrete, all sidewalk displacements exceeding 1¾ inches.

DISCUSSION

This year’s Project will repair damaged sidewalks in the Calaroga Area (District 7) and the Santa Clara Area (District 10). The Project includes repair of approximately 7,000 square feet of damaged sidewalk and curb and gutters plus the installation of 31 new or upgraded wheelchair ramps in various locations, tree trimming, root pruning of existing trees and planting of new trees. As part of the project, the contractor will retain an arborist to examine the condition of existing trees and inspect all root-pruning work. Based on the preliminary inspection, staff anticipates removing 10 trees and planting 31 new trees in various locations. New trees will be planted where street trees are absent, where an existing tree must be removed because of disease or it is in danger of falling, where a need for extensive root pruning may kill the tree, or where a more suitable tree species will minimize future maintenance efforts. Seventeen new wheelchair ramps will also be installed or upgraded to bring wheelchair ramps into compliance with current ADA standards.

Pursuant to Section 5610 of the California Street and Highway Code, property owners are responsible for repairing damaged sidewalks in front of their properties. Under the City’s program, property owners with damaged sidewalks are given the choice of completing the work themselves or having the repairs undertaken by the City’s contractor for a nominal fee of $550 per property.

In order to repair all sidewalks within the City, commercial and investment property owners are given the option to fix damaged sidewalks fronting their property themselves or reimburse the City for repairs. Property owners of commercial and investment properties, who opt to have the City perform repairs, shall be charged for the exact square footage of the damaged sidewalk repair at the actual Construction Contract bid price.

The project budget is $1,000,000 and is included in the FY25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Project includes 100 locations for sidewalk repair and installation of approximately 17 wheelchair ramps. The proposed improvements will repair damaged sections of sidewalks and increase pedestrian mobility.

On November 15, 2016, Council adopted a resolution authorizing a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the Alameda County Building Trades Council (BTC), which applies to City projects with construction costs of $1,000,000 or more. The construction cost estimate for this project is LESS than $,1,000,000; therefore, the CWA agreement does not apply to this project.

This project is categorically exempt for environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301(c) that covers the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing streets, sidewalks, and gutters.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

This Project will have a positive economic impact on the community as it provides safer and more accessible sidewalks and ramps for pedestrians. Dividing the City into ten districts allows staff to select and recommend districts to ensure equitable distribution of this service to all City residents and businesses.

FISCAL IMPACT

The adopted FY25 CIP includes $1,000,000 for the Project in the Street System Improvements Fund (Fund 450). Reimbursement from property owners for the sidewalk rehabilitation is estimated to be approximately $100,000.

The estimated project costs are as follows:

Contract Construction $566,000
Trip Hazard Removal (under a separate contract) $40,000 Design and Administration $150,000 Construction Survey, Inspection, and Testing $144,000 Administrative Change Orders $100,000
TOTAL $1,000,000

STRATEGIC ROADMAP

This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not relate to any of the six priorities outlined in the Council’s Strategic Roadmap.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

This project requires that all material generated during construction and demolition be sent to designated facilities for recycling. Recycled Portland Cement Concrete will be required for use as aggregate base for the concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The improvements made to the sidewalks will encourage the public to walk more as opposed to driving their vehicles. This reduces both carbon emissions and carbon footprints, which is beneficial for the environment.

PUBLIC CONTACT

Owners of the affected properties will receive certified letters regarding the program along with a response form to return to the City indicating their choice to complete the repairs themselves or pay the $550 fee for a single-family home or actual repair cost for the commercial and investment properties to have the City complete the work. Property owners have the option of paying the fee in one lump sum or in twelve monthly payments.

The response form also includes a list of trees that an owner can choose from for a replacement tree. Before construction commences, a second notice will be sent to all property owners who did not respond to the first notice to assure they are aware of the program.

NEXT STEPS

If Council approves, staff will release the calls for bids. The estimated schedule for this project is as follows:

SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution 1) Appropriating $664,000 for the Purchase of Trash Capture Devices for Cabot Boulevard, Project No. 07746, 2) Approving an Amendment to a Cooperative Implementation Agreement to Receive an Additional $800,000 from California Transportation Commission (Caltrans), and 3) Finding the Project to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA Review

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment II) 1) approving the appropriation of $664,000 for the purchase of trash capture devices for Project No. 07746, 2) authorizing the City Manager to amend an agreement with Caltrans to receive additional funds totaling $800,000 to support trash capture projects in Hayward, and 3) finding the project to be categorically exempt from CEQA review.

SUMMARY
On March 25, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 25-037 approving the purchase of three Continuous Deflective Separator (CDS) trash capture devices for the existing storm drain pipes on Cabot Boulevard for an amount not-to-exceed $650,000. This project, identified in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as project number 07746, would capture trash from the storm water system as part of the City’s compliance with the trash reduction mandate from the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board). The CDS units create a continuous swirl of stormwater to concentrate and separate trash and debris. Staff is requesting an increase in the budget amount for the Cabot devices from $650,000 to $664,000 to cover the increased cost for the devices as well as appropriation of $664,000 to project No. 07746 for the purchase of the CDS devices.

According to a cooperative implementation agreement between the City and Caltrans to install trash capture projects to achieve mutual trash reduction credit, the project will be fully funded by Caltrans.

While the original agreement was to fund two trash capture projects (Tennyson Road and Arf Avenue), Caltrans approved the additional funds of $800,000 for a third trash capture project on Cabot Boulevard.

In addition to the appropriation, this consent item is to approve an amendment to the collaborative agreement between the City and Caltrans to receive the additional funds.
