ASSUMPTIONS
As reflected in Table 2 below. the City has approximately 6.8 million total square feet of existing non-residential development; including approximately 2.3 million square feet of commercial, 269 thousand square feet of office, 3.5 milli.on square feet of i.ndustri.al, and 700 thousand square feet of institutional.

Per the Nielsen Company's Employment Profiles (2025). the City has 11,459 employees in these non -residential sectors, specifically 5,227 commercial employees, 1,041 office employees, 3,147 industrial employees, and 2,044 institutional employees.

B Worker Household
Si.nee most households include more than one worker, the Fee Study groups the employees generated by each land use into households to determine the total numbe r of worker households generated by each land use type. According to the US Census American Community Survey , as of 2024 the City had 13,656 workers living in households and 11,530 households, averaging approximately 1.18 workers per household. Therefore, the Fee Study estimates the number of employee households that each land use generates by dividing the total number of workers by 1.18. The resulting estimated number of households per 100,000 square feet is shown below.

D Income Distribution of Worker Households
The occupational data by household, determined above, provides a framework to estimate the household income . DTA utilized the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Occupation Statistics that provides earnings data by occupation and includes a distribution of earnings by occupation . Notably, given that the City would likely draw employees from an area larger than the City’s boundaries, the analysis was based on the data for the Los Angeles – Long Beach - Anaheim Metropolitan Statistical Area (the “MSA”).

V AFFORDABILITY GAP AND LINKAGE FEE CALCULATION
A Affordability Gap
The next step in the Fee Study is to calculate the cost to house the extremely low - , very low - , low - , and moderate - income households by determining the per unit “financing gap” that a developer would encounter when constructing a for - rent project . In other words, the cost to house a lower - income household is the difference between the value of a for - rent affordable unit and the cost to develop that unit . Notably, Low Income t ax credit financing is assumed for the below - 30% AMI, 30 - 50% AMI households, 50 - 80% AMI household, and 80 - 100% AMI households.

Firstly, the current market - rate rent in the City for a new two - bedroom apartment is approximately $2,275 . According to the 2025 HUD guidelines for multifamily tax subsidy projects, rather than pay market - rate rents, a below 30% AMI household could afford $766 per month, a 30 - 50% AMI household could afford $1,448 per month, a 50 - 80% AMI household could afford $ 2,300 per month, and an 80 - 100% AMI household could afford $3,066 per month.

80 - 100% AMI – Affordable Housing Unit $3,066
Note :

1. Market - rate rents were sourced from Zillow listings for the City as of December 2025 . Affordable rents were obtained from U.S . Department of Housing and Urban Development Multifamily Tax Subsidy Rents for Los Angeles County.

Utilizing the rental incomes above, the estimated valuation for units applicable to each income tier was determined based on the Net Operating Income (“NOI”) (i.e., rental income less operating expenses and vacancy) and a cap rate for for - rent developments . Notably, assumed vacancy rates and the cap rates, were based on current market snapshots from CoStar Property . DTA also assumed Low - Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTCs”), in the form of 4% Tax Credit Financing, would be available as a partial subsidy i n developing rental units for below 30% AMI households only . Finally, the actual development cost for these rental units was estimated based on data published in recent LIHTC applications for projects in the City.

B Fee Calculation
To determine the Linkage Fee, the financing gap per affordable unit for each income level is applied to the total housing need by income level per non - residential land use . The result is the “maximum fee” because it is directly derived from the nexus analysis described above (i.e., new non - residential development generating new jobs creating new worker households and a cost to provide new affordable rental housing units to th ese same households).

B Fee Calculation
To determine the Linkage Fee, the financing gap per affordable unit for each income level is applied to the total housing need by income level per non-residential land use. The result is the "maximum fee" because it is directly derived from the nexus analysis described above (i.e ., new non-residential development generating new jobs creating new worker households and a cost to provide new affordable rental housing units to these same households).

VI FEE IMPLEMENTATION
A Administering a Fee Program
Implementing a fee program requires significant planning and training, so it should be done efficiently and frequently . A well - designed program can generate sufficient funds to offset development impacts, while a poorly structured one risks underfunding and reliance on the General Fund —or overcharging, which could lead to legal challenges or refund obligations.

All involved staff across accounting, budgeting, and project management must understand the distinction between Linkage Fees and other types of fees, along with the rules governing how fee revenues can be used . The fees proposed in this report are tied to a specific purpose and must be spent accordingly.

B Indexing the Linkage Fee
The fees presented in this Fee Study are based on current construction costs and should be adjusted annually to account for inflation , as construction costs ultimately impact the cost of providing or subsidizing affordable housing . Therefore, DTA recommends that , after adoption, the fee be reviewed annually and adjusted using a reliable index, such as the ENR BCI, which is generally used as the primary basis for indexing construction costs.

C Phase - In Schedule for Fe e
A key component of adopting this Fee will be the effective date on which the Fee becomes active . One approach adopted by cities is to set a future effective and/or waive fees for current projects that are in the development pipeline . Other approaches include a phased - in period of 1 - 2 years where the fee is set at 50% for the first year of applicability, rising to the full 100% after a 12 - month period.

D Waivers, Exemptions, and Refunds Overview
The California Government Code permits impact fee exemptions for certain land uses at the discretion of local jurisdictions . Such fee exemptions are a policy matter that should be based on the consideration of the greater public good provided by this specific use being exempted from the impact fee . The following are some considerations related to waivers, exemptions, or refunds.

Affordable Housing : Most cities waive fees for projects that are 100% affordable housing ;
Alternatives to Fees : Many cities allow developers to provide housing units or donate land instead of paying fees ;
Public Projects : Fees are typically waived for publicly owned developments ; Special Land Uses : Some cities offer waivers for non - profit buildings, religious institutions, educational facilities (both public and private), and similar land uses ;

Affordable Housing Fees – Southern California Cities Review As part of the study, staff also reviewed larger cities in Southern California to identify their adopted affordable housing linkage and in-lieu fee structures. While these cities are not directly comparable to the City of La Verne, they are often ahead of the curve in implementing and refining these types of programs and therefore provide useful context.

This review helps illustrate the distinction between the maximum fee levels identified in consultant-led nexus studies and the lower, adopted fee amounts ultimately approved by City Councils.

Agenda Report

DATE: April 20, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christy Lopez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO DETERMINE NECESSITY OF UTILITY USER'S TAX.

SUMMARY
In accordance with the City of La Verne's Municipal Code (Sec. 3.10.170), an annual public hearing is required to assess the need for the continuation of the City's Utility User's Tax (UUT).

UUT is collected from residential and business customers by their utility service suppliers (e.g. gas, electric, and telecommunication). UUT is a General Fund revenue and may be used to support essential City services such as police, fire, recreation, and public works services. Within the past five fiscal years, UUT has generated an annual revenue source ranging from $2.7 million to $3.8 million.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council maintain the City's Utility User's Tax at the current voter-approved rates for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

DISCUSSION
In March of 1999, La Verne residents approved "Measure S" which established the City's first- ever Utility User's Tax (UUT) on gas, electric, and telephone services. The approved UUT revenue was considered a "replacement" for the revenues lost by the elimination of the city- wide Landscape and Lighting Assessment District. As such, the 1999 UUT rates were calculated to mirror the charges of the assessment district. The ballot measure set forth a 4% utility tax and a 2% discounted utility tax for senior housing complexes, mobile home parks, churches, private schools, and non-profit organizations that are exempt under IRS section 501(c)3.

In March of 2005, a new ballot measure was placed on the general election to amend "Measure S" and increase the UUT rates. La Verne voters approved the ballot measure, increasing UUT rates from 4% to 6% on gas, electric, and telephone services, as well as increasing the discounted UUT rate from 2% to 3% for qualifying groups.

During the 2012 Special Election, "Measure P" was approved by La Verne voters and reduced the UUT rate for telecommunication services. The existing 6% rate was reduced to 5.75%; gas and electric rates remained at 6%.

Effective January 2, 2016, California Assembly Bill 1717, the Local Prepaid Mobile Telephony Services Collection Act, took effect and required California retailers and online sellers to collect a tax charge from prepaid wireless consumers.

Public Hearing to Determine Necessity of Utility User's Tax., Page 2

The current Utility User Tax rates for the City of La Verne are as follows:

ITEM TAX AMOUNT
Telecommunication Services 5.75 %
Prepaid Wireless 5.50 %
Electricity 6.00 %
Gas 6.00 %

For more information, please visit: https://www.laverneca.gov/415/Utility-Users-Tax or https://www.uutinfo.org.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, UUT revenues are projected to provide roughly $3,920,000 in General Fund revenues. Revenue projections are based on historical data as well as forecasting conducted by the City's UUT Revenue Management consultant, MuniServices. Please note that this projection is subject to change during the FY 2026-27 budget process as more information becomes available.

Although the complete FY 2026-27 budget is currently being developed for Council's approval, Staff anticipates UUT revenues to be necessary to mitigate potential budgetary shortfalls. The Utility User's Tax provides a stable, reliable, and necessary revenue source for the City.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

Agenda Report

DATE: April 20, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christy Lopez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO APPROVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE.

SUMMARY
The City's Comprehensive Fee Schedule is reviewed each year as part of the annual budget process. Adjustments are made to reflect changes in the cost of services in accordance with State and local law. The proposed Resolution provides for adjustment to the 2026-27 Comprehensive Fee Schedule.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a Resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, REPLACING RESOLUTION NO. 25-68 RELATIVE

TO CERTAIN FEES AND POLICIES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF LA VERNE."

DISCUSSION
As part of the City’s annual budget process, the attached updates to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule reflect adjustments to better align fees with the actual cost of providing services.

Consistent with prior years, notice of the public hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation in accordance with applicable requirements.

The proposed Fiscal Year 2026–27 Comprehensive Fee Schedule does not include the addition of new fees. Instead, it reflects targeted updates, including the restructuring of select existing fees and revisions to fee-related language, while the majority of fees remain unchanged.

Public Works Fees
Staff Billing Rates and Equipment Charges
Language has been updated to clarify that equipment rental rates for disaster response and emergency operations will be based on the current Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Schedule of Equipment Rates. Staff billing rates and equipment charges will continue to be established in accordance with Administrative Regulation 210.

Water System Connection Fee
The service installation fee for 1-inch connections has been restructured to distinguish between short-side and long-side installations, based on time and materials required for each.

Refuse and Recycling Fees
An annual inflation-based increase in refuse collection fees is proposed in accordance with the

Page 257 of 412 ends

Agenda Packet - April 20, 2026
Public Hearing to Approve the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Comprehensive Fee Schedule., Page 2

City’s agreement with Waste Management, Inc.. Effective September 1, 2026, Waste Management will transition to direct billing for residential accounts. Adjustments for all other accounts reflect a 5.27% increase and will remain in effect through June 30, 2027.

Fire Department
Advanced Life Support
Paramedic Patient Assessment Fee
The proposed update to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for both items standardizes select Emergency Medical Services (EMS) fees by eliminating the distinction between resident and non-resident charges. This modification ensures a consistent and equitable fee structure while improving the City’s ability to recover the actual costs associated with providing EMS, regardless of patient residency and within the guidelines of Measure GG.

Police Department
Overnight Annual Parking Permit (ONP) Renewal Fee
The current ONP fee structure includes a $100 initial application fee, which incorporates a $50 administrative fee and the cost of a required site visit to verify eligibility. Renewal applications in the second and third years do not require a site visit and are therefore charged $50. In the fourth year, a site visit is required again. Accordingly, the fee structure is proposed to be formalized as follows: $50 for second- and third-year renewals, and $100 for fourth-year renewals to account for the additional site visit.

False Alarm Response Fees
The existing fee schedule establishes charges from the first through fourth false alarm, with a flat rate for subsequent responses within a 365-day period. The proposed update further refines this structure by maintaining the fourth and fifth responses at $150 and introducing a sixth and subsequent response fee of $250 within a 365-day period. The estimated cost to respond to and process a false alarm is $121 per incident. The proposed fee is consistent with cost recovery and aligns with surveyed neighboring jurisdictions, which average $294 for sixth and subsequent responses.

Service Charges for Vehicle Releases
Language has been updated to consolidate stored, abated, and impounded vehicles into a single category. As a result, the separate service charge for the release of abated vehicles has been eliminated and incorporated into a unified vehicle release fee.

Clearance Letter Fee
The current clearance letter fee of $15 does not fully recover the cost of service. Preparation requires approximately 30 minutes for straightforward requests and up to one hour for cases involving prior contact and additional records review. Based on staff time, the fee is proposed to be increased to $40. A survey of comparable agencies indicates that the proposed fee is consistent with surrounding jurisdictions, which average approximately $44.

Other Fees
Appeals
The Fiscal Year 2026–27 schedule reclassifies appeal fees from the Community Development section to the “Other Fees” category and establishes separate fees for appeals to the City Manager and City Council. These fees are intended to recover the administrative and staff costs

Page 258 of 412 ends

Agenda Packet - April 20, 2026
Public Hearing to Approve the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Comprehensive Fee Schedule., Page 3

associated with processing appeals, including legal and public noticing expenses. Establishing these fees promotes consistency and ensures that the cost of discretionary appeal requests is borne by the applicant rather than the general public.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Approval of the updated user fees and charges will align fees more closely with the cost of providing services across applicable City funds. However, actual revenue generated from user fees is dependent on service demand, which may fluctuate from year to year, making precise revenue projections difficult.

Refuse and recycling rate adjustments are calculated in accordance with the City’s agreement with Waste Management, Inc., using a formula based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Solid waste rates are paid by residential and commercial customers and are structured to ensure compliance with State of California disposal and processing requirements.

Effective September 1, 2026, residential refuse and recycling accounts will transition to direct billing by Waste Management. Detailed residential and commercial rate information is provided in the rate tables included in the attached Comprehensive Fee Schedule for Fiscal Years 2026–

RESOLUTION NO. 26-xx

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, REPLACING RESOLUTION NO. 25-68 AND RELATIVE TO CERTAIN

FEES AND POLICIES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF LA VERNE

WHEREAS, the Municipal Code of the City of La Verne provides that certain filing fees, permit fees, inspection fees, deposits, and conditions of service may from time to time be established by the City Council;

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Verne has determined that the cost of providing certain services is not of general benefit but of benefit to the individual and, therefore, certain filing fees, permit fees, inspection fees and deposits should be required to pay for materials and special services performed by City staff;

WHEREAS, after the passage of Propositions 4 and 218, local governments were made to charge the costs of services to those who benefited;

WHEREAS, for certain services performed, the cost of providing said services greatly varies and is contingent upon the specifics of each project or application. The City Council finds it more appropriate to require an initial deposit to guarantee the applicant will reimburse the City for costs associated. If the costs exceed the deposit, the applicant shall be responsible for additional deposits or reimbursement necessary to offset cost. If the cost of service performed is less than the deposit, then the difference shall be refunded to the applicant;

WHEREAS, based upon fee justification reports on file with the Assistant City Clerk and the City Finance Division, the City Council finds that the fees included in this Resolution represent the actual costs of the services provided or facilities funded and, therefore, there is a rational relationship between the fees charged and the services and facilities provided;

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that since the fees represent the actual costs of the services or facilities provided, there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee charged and the costs of the services or facilities provided to the person paying the fee;

WHEREAS, after notifying those parties interested in fee revisions and publishing notice of a public hearing on April 10, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed adoption of this Resolution on April 20, 2026.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Verne that Resolution No. 25-68 containing the established comprehensive fee schedule be amended and the amendments be incorporated with the content of Resolution No. 26-XX into the City’s 2026-27 Comprehensive Fee Schedule.

SECTION 1. All adjustments for fiscal year 2026-27 are incorporated in the 2026-27 “Comprehensive Fee Schedule” attached hereto.

The New Building / Modification - Fire Plan Check process is applicable for all construction projects within the City. The process is mostly handled by the Building/Engineering Division; whereas the Community Risk Reduction Bureau is responsible for reviewing plans to ensure compliance with the California Fire Code, California Building Code, and California Health & Safety Code.

To start the process, the applicant must first visit the Building Division located at City Hall and complete a Fire application. Next, the applicant will submit a copy of their Building/Engineering Division application, 3 copies of the building plan, and pay the application fee. The regular plan check turnaround time is 14 business days from the date the plans are submitted.

Building plans are reviewed by a City consultant or Fire Marshal. After the initial city or consultant review, the applicant is notified to pick-up the approved plans and/or return the plans for subsequent consultant review. Once all revisions are finalized, the applicant will pay the applicable Inspection fees, consultant fees, and pick-up the finalized building plans (that include a stamp from the consultant and the Community Risk Reduction Bureau).

The applicant has 6 months to complete the work/project and schedule an inspection with the Community Risk Reduction Bureau. If additional inspection time is required, the Miscellaneous Fee (As-Needed Fire

Agenda Report

DATE: April 20, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
Christy Lop
ez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2026 STRATEGIC PLAN & PROGRAM REVIEW.

SUMMARY
On February 7, 2026, the City Council, Executive Team, Department Heads, and participating residents, community members, and labor group representatives convened for the annual Strategic Planning Session to review the City’s financial condition and strategic priorities. The primary outcome of the session was a direction to implement a comprehensive Program Review process to identify service-level adjustments and expenditure reductions necessary to support a structurally balanced budget. Potential revenue strategies were also explored as part of the discussion to inform future budget considerations.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Receive and file this report summarizing the February 7, 2026, Strategic Planning Session; and

2. Provide continued direction to Staff regarding expenditure reductions and revenue strategies necessary to achieve a balanced budget.

DISCUSSION
The City of La Verne conducts an annual Strategic Planning Session to reaffirm its mission, values, and organizational priorities, review accomplishments, and evaluate emerging issues that may affect long-term stability and service delivery. On February 7, 2026, the City Council, Executive Team, Department Heads, and participating residents, community members, and labor representatives convened for this purpose. The session focused on the City’s financial condition, strategic priorities, and the need to align resources with core services to achieve a structurally balanced budget.

The session began with a comprehensive Finance Presentation, “The Road to Financial Stability,” which outlined the City’s fiscal condition, structural challenges, and long-term obligations. Key topics included aligning ongoing revenues with expenditures, maintaining adequate reserves, avoiding reliance on one-time funding for ongoing services, and achieving structural balance over time.

In addition to expenditure considerations, the Council explored potential revenue strategies to support long-term fiscal sustainability such as Measure GG. Staff will continue to analyze these

Page 346 of 412 ends

Agenda Packet - April 20, 2026
2026 Strategic Plan & Program Review., Page 2

options, including estimated revenue impacts and timing considerations, to inform the City Manager’s Recommended Budget and ensure alignment with the goal of a structurally balanced budget.

Council reaffirmed the City’s strategic priorities of financial stability, stakeholder engagement, adaptive public safety, and resilient infrastructure. Discussion of the City’s long-term vision emphasized maintaining service levels, preserving community character and quality of life, and ensuring financial sustainability. Participation by community members, residents, and labor representatives provided valuable perspective and reinforced transparency and engagement in the strategic planning process.

The 2025 Community Survey provided additional insight into resident expectations and satisfaction levels, including public safety, infrastructure maintenance, quality of life, economic vitality, and community well-being. These results will serve as an important reference as the City evaluates programs and services.

The primary outcome of the session was direction from the City Council to implement a comprehensive Program Review process to assess City services, identify targeted expenditure reductions, and guide preparation of the City Manager’s Recommended Budget. Departments were asked to refine preliminary reduction amounts previously shared and to align potential reductions with strategic priorities and community values.

The Finance Department will supplement this report with the attached detailed program and services review.

Program and Services Review - Decision Tree

Building on this direction, Staff undertook a review of City programs and services across all departments. While a fully comprehensive review of all programs has not yet been completed, the process included evaluating the full cost of service delivery, identifying potential expenditure reductions, assessing opportunities for increased cost recovery, and considering the operational and community impacts associated with each option. Some programs and services are listed as a means to identify their cost of provision rather than consideration of reduction or cessation.

As part of this effort, staff focused on programs that provide more individualized benefits, as well as those identified by Department Directors as lower priority or not legally or contractually required, in order to minimize impacts to core City services.

The program review was conducted with a focus on aligning available resources with the City Council’s strategic priorities while maintaining core service levels where feasible. In addition, this effort serves as a key component in addressing the City’s anticipated structural deficit by identifying both expenditure reductions and revenue enhancements to support long-term fiscal sustainability. As such, this review will become an annual occurrence as part of the budget process.

The information included in the attached program review reflects the initial results of this Strategic Plan-directed effort and is intended to provide the City Council with additional

Page 347 of 412 ends

Agenda Packet - April 20, 2026
2026 Strategic Plan & Program Review., Page 3

information to develop a range of policy-level options for consideration. These options are not presented as final recommendations, but rather as a framework to guide discussion and establish priorities for incorporation into the City Manager’s Recommended Budget.

Accordingly, continued input from the City Council is requested at this time as Staff nears completion of all budget-related activities and the City Manager begins to undertake a final review of the overall budget in order to bring to the City Council a structurally balanced budget. The programs/services included in the attachment are identified only for continuing and expanding the information provided at the Strategic Planning session. The intent is to inform the City Council and public about the cost of programs after cost recovery, general benefit versus private benefit, whether the program or service is mandated, the target audience, and estimate of program/service impacts. After review by the City Council, and after public comments, if there programs and services the City Council desires to provide input on, request additional information, or provide other direction, it will be received and incorporated into the ongoing budget development.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There are no financial impacts based on the recommendations as all actions will be considered as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

shaping City decisions. This means creating accessible, inclusive opportunity for input and dialogue, fostering transparency, and building trust between the City, employees, and its community. Engagement can take the form of surveys, public forums, advisory committees, digital platforms, and more.
▪ Adaptive Public Safety
• Maintaining a responsive, flexible approach to public services- including police, fire, public works, and overall emergency response that evolves with the community’s changing needs.

This includes using data to inform decisions, investing in training and equipment, collaborating with other agencies, and embracing innovative practices to protect lives, property, and quality of life.
▪ Resilient Infrastructure
• Investing in and maintaining the City’s physical assets such as streets, water systems, sewers, public buildings and parks.

Ensuring the City can withstand aging facilities, emergencies including natural disasters, environmental challenges, and future growth. Resilient infrastructure supports reliable service delivery, enhances public safety, and reduces long-term maintenance and repair costs through proactive planning and sustainable practices.

PRIORITY 1 - FINANCIAL STABILITY
Priority Ranking: #1 - 94.4% “Very/Somewhat important”
Clear mandate on priority: Financial Stability is residents’ top- ranked strategic priority and the most frequently selected #1.

Mixed appetite for additional revenue: Residents are split on a local funding measure,suggesting the need for strong
justification and visible outcomes.

Budget story should focus on sustainability: Emphasize
structurally balanced budgeting, reserves, and long-term infrastructure obligations.
“rates keep going up -
what are we getting for it?”
“Show that you can cut costs
before asking for more money.”
“Don’t rely on one-time money
to run ongoing services”
“Growing revenues to improve
services and financial stability”

PRIORITY 2 - ENGAGEMENT
Residents are willing to engage: ~81% say they’re somewhat or very likely to attend a forum.

Trust/clarity is a growth area: Ratings for “being open and transparent” are mixed (56.6% Good/Excellent vs 43.4%
Fair/Poor), suggesting engagement should emphasize
transparency and follow-through.

Implication: Engagement efforts should be multi-channel and include a visible “you said / we did” feedback loop.
“I only hear about things
after they are decided.”
“Offer Zoom and evenings
- people work.”
“Tell us what you heard and
what you’re doing about it.”
“Not enough regular citizens
even know about the meetings”

PRIORITY 3 - PUBLIC SAFETY
Strong foundation: Respondents rate Police and Fire/EMS service quality highly, and overall safety perceptions trend positive.

Preparedness is part of public safety: Comments reflect interest in being better prepared for wildfire/flooding and other disasters, reinforcing the need for adaptive planning, coordination, and communications.
“Adaptive” focus: Use data and community feedback to
target the issues residents feel day-to-day (traffic
enforcement, crime prevention, visibility) while maintaining strong emergency response.
“We need visible enforcement
and quicker response.”
“We need help responses, not
just arrests, for people in crisis.”
“What’s the evacuation plan if
there’s a wildfire?”
“The police are doing a fine
job”

PRIORITY 4 - RESILIENT INFRA STRUCTURE
Balanced focus: Core services are strong, but day-to-day infrastructure operations need attention
Residents value “visible” infrastructure outcomes: Parks and core services rate well—continued maintenance and
reinvestment protects quality of life.

Resilience = proactive maintenance + emergency
readiness: Investing in streets, signals, facilities, and systems reduces long-term repair costs and improves
safety.
“Fix the signal timing, it’s
getting worse.”
“We need safer sidewalks and
better lighting.”
“Maintain infrastructure so that
we aren’t shocked by big rate
jumps.”
“Please keep up the good work
in the parks.”
