Public hearings are different from regular business items in that there is a specific time period where a formal hearing is opened by the presiding officer, public comment is accepted from any member of the public, and the hearing is closed by the presiding officer. Generally each public speaker has one opportunity to speak. The City Council conducts all Public Hearings in accordance with the provisions of applicable Laguna Beach procedure and State law. The presiding officer shall have discretion to establish the time allocated for public comment.

2. Find that the action to continue the public hearing is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).
F. PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR APPEALS. This section is specifically for appeals of determinations of the Planning Commission, the Design Review Board, or other Boards or Commissions. Public Hearings (Appeals) are different from other public hearings in two ways: (1) In some cases, the City Council can only consider whether a lower body abused its discretion in granting or denying a project application. In other cases, the Council can conduct the hearing “de novo,” meaning that it can consider old and new information and make a determination unbound by the lower body’s decision.
The item’s staff report will clearly state which review standard applies to each appeal item; and (2) public comment generally occurs this way: Staff presents a report about the appeal, Council members ask questions about the report. Then the presiding officer opens the public hearing, inviting the person who filed the appeal (the appellant) to speak first, followed by persons supporting the appellant’s position. Then the presiding officer invites persons disagreeing with appeal to speak. When all speakers have spoken, the presiding officer invites the appellant up a second time to address any comment and to conclude their argument. Following that, the presiding officer closes the public hearing, and the Council deliberates further and ultimately votes on a motion. The City Council conducts all Public Hearings in accordance with the provisions of applicable Laguna Beach procedure and State law. The Mayor shall have discretion to establish the time allocated for persons who wish to speak, often allowing more time for the appellant and/or the applicant.

1 SUBJECT: RECOGNITION OF THE LAGUNA BEACH HIGH SCHOOL FLOW PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Recognize the Laguna Beach High School FLOW Program and its students for their leadership, community engagement, and contributions to the Laguna Beach community.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
This item recognizes the Laguna Beach High School FLOW Program and its students for their leadership in environmental education, civic engagement, and community stewardship. The FLOW Program, representing Fire, Land, Ocean, and Water, is an interdisciplinary educational initiative designed to connect students with academic content, one another, and the broader Laguna Beach community through environmental awareness and service-learning opportunities.
The program provides students in grades 9 through 12 with educational experiences centered on environmental issues particularly relevant to Laguna Beach, including wildfire awareness, land stewardship, ocean health, and water sustainability. Through collaboration with community partners, shared curriculum experiences, volunteer activities, and public engagement opportunities, students participate in projects and events that promote mindful citizenship and environmental responsibility.
Recognition of the FLOW Program supports the City’s ongoing commitment to youth engagement, environmental stewardship, educational partnerships, and community collaboration.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action has no financial impact to the budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because the proposed recognition of the Laguna Beach High School FLOW Program is an administrative and ceremonial activity that does not constitute a “project” and will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Presentation and Discussion: Staff provided a presentation and responded to Councilmember questions.
Public Testimony: John Thomas, South Laguna Civic Association, advocated for the acquisition of two lots on Catalina Street for additional park space in South Laguna, noting longstanding inadequate public infrastructure and heavy use of Village Green Park. Bob Borthwick expressed appreciation for the $50,000 budget allocation for Hortense Miller Garden. Toni Iseman suggested moving City employee parking to Act V to free up parking by City Hall for public use, as originally intended. Jacquie Schaefgen advocated for maintaining ongoing revenue allocation to the Local Housing Trust Fund to preserve eligibility for the $2.5 million State matching grant. City Clerk Ann Marie McKay requested Council to direct the City Manager to approve reclassification of Records Management Coordinator Julie Shackelford to Records and Information Administrator, citing expanded project management scope of the citywide records management improvement initiative and net minimal fiscal impact. Ann Christoph supported South Laguna Civic Association's request for Catalina lots acquisition, suggesting the South Laguna Fund balance as a potential funding source, and also supported the employee parking relocation concept raised by Iseman.
City Council Direction:
• Address Housing Fund balance to meet the $2.5 million grant matching threshold; develop a permanent housing funding strategy in consultation with the budget ad hoc committee.
• Conduct internal technology discussion (drones, cameras, traffic light synchronization) and bring a recommendation forward for final budget.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:
May 26, 2026
CONSENT
4 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF GENERAL WARRANTS AND PAYROLL DISTRIBUTIONS RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the general warrants and payroll distributions.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
The following provides a summary of all-general warrants and payroll disbursements issued between April 11, 2026, and April 24, 2026. Total disbursements issued during this period were $4,959,667.55.
DISCUSSION
• Check numbers 23012180 and 23012207 were not issued. The City’s finance system assigns a check number when a “prenote” is processed. A “prenote” is a $0 payment to verify a bank account before crediting it. It is the City’s practice to process a “prenote” to verify banking information before the vendor receives their first payment from the City electronically.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action has no financial impact to the budget.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
City fiscal sustainability and building a culture of excellence.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action has no environmental impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), a "project" means an action which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (See CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a).) А "project" specifically does not include organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).) The proposed action is administrative in nature because the processing of claims is governed by the Government Claims Act as a prerequisite to filing suit against a public entity. Accordingly, rejection of the foregoing claims is not a “project” subject to CEQA.

6 SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH FACILITIES MASTER PLAN
FINAL REPORT
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Receive and file the Facilities Master Plan Final Report; and
2. Find that the recommended action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as it does not constitute a project.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
.This report presents the City of Laguna Beach Facilities Master Plan (FMP), prepared by Griffin Structures, and recommends that the City Council receive and file the final report. The FMP provides a comprehensive evaluation of 26 City-owned and leased facilities totaling over 318,000 square feet and establishes a longrange strategy for facility modernization, consolidation, and capital investment (Attachment 1). The Plan also identifies significant long-term facility needs, including an estimated $314 million in anticipated maintenance expenditures as well as a number of capital improvements depending on scope and scenarios over a 20-year horizon, and outlines a phased implementation strategy to address public safety, operational efficiency, and community-serving facility priorities.
The FMP is a planning-level document that does not authorize any specific capital project, funding commitment, or construction activity at this time. Instead, it is intended to guide future Capital Improvement Program (CIP) planning, budget development, and policy decisions. Implementation of the Plan is structured in phases (or tranches) to align with fiscal capacity, beginning with near-term public safety and resiliency investments estimated at approximately $25 million, followed by additional phases addressing administrative consolidation and long-term recreational and facility redevelopment needs.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City initiated the Facilities Master Plan as a strategic effort to evaluate the condition, functionality, and long-term needs of its municipal facilities. The Plan was developed through a comprehensive and collaborative process that included technical assessments, stakeholder engagement, and community outreach over approximately 12 months.
The FMP evaluates 26 City-owned and leased facilities and incorporates facility condition assessments, space needs analysis, conceptual planning, and cost modeling to develop a long-term strategy for capital investment.
The Facilities Master Plan identifies several critical findings:
• Significant Deferred Maintenance Needs: Approximately $314 million in long-term facility maintenance and upgrades are projected over a 20-year period. 1 of 73
RECEIVE AND FILE CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH FACILITIES MASTER PLAN FINAL REPORT
May 26, 2026
• Space Deficiencies: The City has a projected shortfall of 62,000 square feet City operations due to outdated and undersized facilities.
• Public Safety Priorities: Immediate needs include upgrades to fire stations, police facilities, and marine safety infrastructure.
• Operational Inefficiencies: Administrative services are distributed across multiple locations, limiting coordination and efficiency.
• Community Demand: Public input emphasized priorities such as library improvements, recreation facilities, cultural arts space, and parking solutions.
Projects identified within the Facilities Master Plan were prioritized using a strategic framework that considered facility condition, deferred maintenance, life safety needs, operational deficiencies, implementation feasibility, and community priorities identified throughout the planning and outreach process.
Implementation Strategy
The FMP establishes a phased, long-term implementation strategy to align facility improvements with City Council priorities. The Council, through multiple workshops, agreed to and approved on February 28, 2026 (Attachment 2), a strategy to move forward with implementing recommendations outlined in the Addendum of the FMP final report:
• Tranche 1 (Years 0–5):
Focuses on immediate public safety and resiliency needs, including fire station improvements, library upgrades, ADA improvements, and evaluation of parking and City Hall expansion. . • Tranche 2 (Years 5–10):
Includes administrative consolidation, City Hall expansion, and potential Police Department expansion.
• Tranche 3 (Years 10–20):
Addresses long-term recreational and facility redevelopment needs, including improvements to Lang Park and the reconstruction of the fire station.
This phased approach allows the City Council to prioritize critical investments while maintaining flexibility to adapt to future funding opportunities and community needs.
The conceptual planning effort also highlighted the significant physical and regulatory constraints associated with many City facilities and sites. Limited parking availability, coastal development requirements, constrained parcel sizes, steep topography, and operational continuity needs introduce substantial complexity to future redevelopment efforts. In several cases, the conceptual studies explored vertical or subterranean development strategies to accommodate projected facility needs within the City’s 2 of 73

limited real estate footprint. These constraints reinforce the importance of phased implementation, careful long-term planning, and continued evaluation as projects advance toward future feasibility and design efforts.
Action for the City Council
The current action is limited to receiving and filing the Facilities Master Plan. No specific projects, funding allocations, or implementation actions are being approved at this time.
Future actions related to the FMP will return to the City Council for: project-specific approvals through the budget process and approval of the capital improvement program.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receiving and filing the Facilities Master Plan. While no funding commitments are being requested at this time, implementation of future Facilities Master Plan recommendations will require significant long-term capital planning and evaluation of potential funding strategies. The Facilities Master Plan identifies a range of potential funding mechanisms that may be explored over time, including Capital Improvement Program allocations, grants, bonds, public-private partnerships, and other financing tools, subject to future City Council direction and approval.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
The Facilities Master Plan supports the City Council’s strategic priorities by advancing public safety and resiliency through the modernization of fire, police, and emergency response facilities; promoting fiscal sustainability through long-term capital planning and a phased investment strategy; enhancing infrastructure and service delivery by improving operational efficiency and facility functionality; and improving overall community quality of life through planned enhancements to libraries, parks, recreation, and cultural facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because it does not qualify as a “project.” The Facilities Master Plan is a planninglevel document that evaluates existing facilities and identifies potential future improvements but does not authorize or commit the City to any specific physical development. Any future projects identified in the Plan will be subject to separate CEQA review, as required

Parking Constraints and Considerations
conceptual planning process was the issue of parking.

In many cases, existing sites already lack adequate parking to support their current functions— Several conceptual plans, while functionally compelling, reduce existing surface parking or intensify building
parking supply if not mitigated. The impact is particularly • Police Department:
parking areas and vehicle egress.
• Lang Park / CRC: Shared-use programming and
recreation demands will increase peak parking needs.
• Festival Grounds: Introducing cultural and community
programming here without structured parking would
limit event feasibility.
To address these constraints, the planning team considered a range of parking mitigation strategies, including
• Integration of structured or underground parking where feasible
•
infrastructure to reduce vehicle dependence
•
• Alignment with broader citywide mobility strategies,
including downtown parking plans and transit
improvements
The parking challenge reinforces the need to consider
mobility, land use, and tourism management frameworks. It also underscores the importance of implementing holistic, district-based planning where civic investment can trigger broader circulation and infrastructure improvements.
These conceptual plans, in combination with the facility condition assessments and space programs, formed the
analytical backbone of the implementation framework

and impact-oriented investment, this Facilities Master Plan introduces a Strategic Prioritization Framework that enables the City to phase improvements in a logical, achievable manner.
This framework categorizes facilities into three
• Facility condition and deferred maintenance backlog
• Life-safety and code compliance issues
•
• Community priorities and visibility
• Site readiness and project feasibility
• Potential for partnership or co-location
a roadmap for near-term action and long-term
transformation.
Group 1: Foundational Public Safety, Core Services
& Immediate Community Benefits
These projects represent the highest-priority investments that address urgent safety concerns, deliver tangible
improvements to public-facing services, and support
operational readiness. They also include lower-cost, highaccessibility compliance.

Strategic Value: Transformational civic legacy, enhanced arts and cultural identity, and bold reimagining of Laguna This tiered implementation strategy allows the City to
• Start with achievable, visible wins in Group 1 while
setting up funding mechanisms for additional groups. • Group 2. • Strategically prepare for legacy investments in Group 3.
The framework ensures that planning and capital delivery support, and long-term civic priorities.

The Facilities Master Plan presents a wide range of capital construction escalation over time. To support informed
projects were evaluated with high-level cost estimates
prepared by HLCM, a professional cost-estimating
consultant with experience in municipal facilities.
Methodology
Each facility or program concept was assigned a cost range based on
• Proposed building program square footage
•
• Construction type and phasing assumptions
• Applicable prevailing wage requirements
• Site premiums related to coastal conditions, tight site / access limitations, or grading
•
• Soft costs including design, permits, project
management, and FF&E.
These cost ranges are presented in 2025 dollars and are intended for planning purposes only. They represent orderof-magnitude estimates future design, entitlement, and permitting processes,
ensuring escalation is tied to appropriate construction start and duration periods.
Understanding the Financial Landscape
Implementing the Facilities Master Plan will require strategic availability, and community priorities. The table below considerations as it moves toward implementation. • Several transformative build-outs, allowing the City to scale
projects based on funding and need.
• Coastal Premiums and Constraints:
topography, site access, and coastal permitting process introduce unique cost pressures. Temporary relocation,
shoring, subterranean construction, and phased
implementation may be required at several sites,
increasing cost and complexity.

• Public-Private Partnerships (P3s): For some sites—
such as the CRC with housing or the Village Entrance
parking/housing concept—there may be opportunities
partnerships. These opportunities are not yet factored
into the total cost but should be actively explored
during implementation.
• Sustainability and Future Resilience: Projects may
and other green building strategies that could yield
long-term savings or qualify for grant funding. Upfront costs may be higher, but total lifecycle value should be considered.
• Need for Long-Term Capital Planning: The total cost
The City will need to maintain a long-range capital
phase, and fund investments strategically.
• Grant and Bond Opportunities: Several projects—
especially those related to public safety, ADA
compliance, climate resilience, and cultural facilities— may be eligible for local, state, or federal funding
sources. Early pursuit of these opportunities will be
essential for implementation

It is important to remember that a Facilities Master
Plan serves as a comprehensive guide for maintaining
and improving city-owned buildings and infrastructure.
It evaluates the condition and functionality of existing facilities, assesses how well they support the services expansion, or relocation based on projected growth and
community needs. The plan presents conceptual ideas for how facilities could evolve, considering site capacity and future demand.

10. MMC, Inc. $1,154,880.00
11. GCI Construction, Inc. $1,254,155.00
A bid protest was received from the third-lowest bidder, Nieves General Engineering. The apparent low bidder, Premo Construction, subsequently withdrew its bid. Staff reviewed the protest and concurred with the basis for disqualification of the low bidder; however, the protest as it pertained to the second lowest bidder was determined to be without merit. Accordingly, staff recommends award of the contract to the second lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Gentry General Engineering Inc. in the amount of $587,330.00. The Professsional Services Agreement is included in Attachment 1 and the location map is included in Attachment 2.
The project requires full-time inspection services and community outreach. Task order proposals were received from four (4) on-call consultants, including Dudek, Accenture, HRGreen, and Onward Engineering. The proposals were evaluated based on team qualifications, performance of similar work, cost reasonableness, and the ability to provide services within the required timeline. The proposal submitted by Onward Engineering ranked highest, and the proposed fee of $94,770 is reasonable for the scope of work.
It is recommended that a task order be awarded to Onward Engineering for inspection services.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
With the low bid amount of $587,330, the inspection services at $94,770, the contingency costs for unforeseen conditions (which is estimated not to exceed $60,000), and the anticipated construction support (which is estimated not to exceed $50,000), the total project cost is $792,100. With the anticipated adoption of the FY 2026/27 budget, which includes $850,000 for this project, sufficient funding will be available for the recommended action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(d) (New Construction of Utility Extensions). The exemption applies to the installation of new storm drain facilities within existing public rights-of-way. The project includes construction of new storm drain pipe, box culvert, and associated inlet and outlet structures, along with related improvements, which qualify under this exemption. 2 of 82

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Award and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Voltaire Engineering in the amount of $1,499,266, for the construction of the Fire Station 4 retaining wall at 31796 S Coast Highway;
2. Authorize the City Manager to approve project-related expenses and contract change orders for unforeseen circumstances in an amount not to exceed $150,000; and
3. Find that the project was previously evaluated pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) through adoption of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 2022090383), adopted by the City Council on November 15, 2022.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
This report recommends that the City Council award a construction contract to Voltaire Engineering in the amount of $1,499,266 for the construction of a retaining wall at 31796 S Coast Highway.
The project cost is within the approved Fire Station 4 project budget of approximately $9.3 million. Staff also recommends authorization of a $150,000 contingency for unforeseen field conditions and related change orders. Construction of the retaining wall will allow the City to advance site preparation activities while final architectural and site design for the fire station building are completed, and the building construction contractor prequalification process is conducted.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 2022090383) was prepared and adopted by the City Council on November 15, 2022.
DISCUSSION
Background and Project Need
The City of Laguna Beach has an approved Design Review 25-0261, Coastal Development Permit 25-0260, Conditional Use Permit 25-0262, and Sign Permit 25-0401 (Entitlements) to construct a new fire station at 31796 S Coast Highway. The Entitlements include the construction of a retaining wall along the perimeter of the proposed fire station site. The proposed scope of work under this proposed contract will include clearing and grubbing, grading, shoring, drilling caissons, and constructing a soldier pile and wood lagging retaining wall with shotcrete surface. The wall construction is scheduled to last four months.
While the retaining wall construction is taking place, the City’s consultant, PBK, will finalize the building and site design with Planning Commission consideration of final material selections having occurred last week at the May 20, 2026, Planning Commission meeting. Staff will also conduct a prequalification process 1 of 90
AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE FIRE STATION 4 RETAINING WALL, CIP 22-9875
May 26, 2026
to ensure only qualified bidders with experience in fire station construction are able to bid on the project.
This will ensure a contractor specialized in constructing this type of facility is selected. The pre-qualification process will take approximately 2-3 months to conduct. It will be mandatory that all Contractors (Class “B” General Contractors only) who intend to submit a bid on the fire station building, fully complete the prequalification questionnaire and be approved by the City to be on the final qualified bidders list. Following the completion of the pre-qualification process, the pre-qualified list will be included in the project specifications. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that was not pre-qualified.
Bid Process and Contractor Selection
Staff completed a public bid process for the project in accordance with California Public Contract Code requirements. On May 8, 2026, fifteen (15) bids were received. Twelve (12) were deemed responsive and responsible and are listed below by bid amount:
Table of Bid Results

14. CT&T Concrete Paving Inc. $2,261,458
15. Deark E&C, Inc $2,636,000
While reviewing the bid submittals, bidders 1, 2, and 3 had material errors or omissions that rendered their bids nonresponsive. Following a review of the remaining bids, staff determined that the apparent lower bidder, Voltaire Engineering, is qualified, properly licensed, and their bid was determined to be responsive and responsible. Voltaire Engineering has successfully completed similar projects for other municipalities in Southern California. Staff recommends that the contract be awarded to Voltaire Engineering in the amount of $1,499,266 (Attachment 1). The estimate of probable cost prepared by PBK Architects was $1,750,000. Therefore, staff feels the proposed contract amount of $1,499,266 is fair and reasonable. It is also recommended that funding be provided to cover change orders due to unforeseen conditions. These costs are not expected to exceed $150,000; therefore, it is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to approve change orders for unforeseen circumstances in the amount not to exceed $150,000.

is anticipated to begin in July and be completed by November 2026.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
There is an available budget of approximately $9,000,000 for the project. No additional appropriation is requested.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 2022090383) was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which analyzed the Project for any potential environmental impacts.
A Final MND was prepared incorporating public comments received after the conclusion of public review comment period for the Draft MND and adopted by the City Council on November 15, 2022. Based on the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, and evidence contained in supplemental reports and documents, it has been determined that the Project would not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of Project mitigation measures.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:

CONSENT
9 SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR SENIOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a five-year Professional Services Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Sally’s Fund for senior transportation services for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, in an amount not to exceed $769,826; and
2. Find the action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
The City provides annual funding for senior transportation services that allow residents, ages 60 and older, to travel to medical appointments, run errands, and participate in programs at the Laguna Beach Community Center and Susi Q Senior Center. As part of this program the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) provides funding to support the program. OCTA requires the City to prepare a new Request for Proposal (RFP) every five years. The City issued an RFP for a new vendor on March 26, 2026, and staff is recommending award of the contract to Sally’s Fund of Laguna Beach.
DISCUSSION
The City supports a senior transportation program that provides approximately 4,000 rides a year to Laguna Beach seniors. Seniors can schedule trips to the senior center, community center, medical appointments, shopping, and cultural events. The program is operated Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is not operated on weekends or holidays.
The program requires the vendor to provide a free shuttle service and a program that allows seniors to make reservations by phone and email, and requires requests for services to be accommodated within one day.
The vendor is also required to make every effort to accommodate last-minute requests.
As this program is partially funded by OCTA record keeping and reporting is required for grant compliance purposes. The City and OCTA have a cooperative agreement (Attachment 2) that expires on June 30, 2026 but can be extended for another five-year term through June 30, 2031.
Procurement Approach. On March 26, 2026 the City issued an RFP for Senior Transportation Services.
The process provided the opportunity for questions, and City staff provided responses to all bidders on April 13, 2026. Four bids were received by the closing date. One vendor, LAZ Parking LLC, sent a letter stating they would not bid on this project as they wished to focus on the trolley and on-demand service. 1 of 142

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The proposed agreement with Sally’s Fund for Senior Transportation Services has a total not-to-exceed compensation amount of $769,826 over the five-year period. There are no proposed changes to the level of service. The proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 includes funding for this program.
The annual cost of the contract over the five-year period is in the table below. OCTA grant is based on current funding levels. Any reduction in the grant amount would be the City's responsibility.
Contract Year City Cost Est. OCTA Grant Total Cost
Year 1 $91,745 $53,255 $145,000
Year 2 $96,095 $53,255 $149,350

Year 5 $109,944 $53,255 $163,199
Total $503,551 $266,275 $769,826
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Here, the recommended action meets the exemption because it involves authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for services that are currently provided or services less than those that are currently provided. Upon taking the recommended 3 of 142

action, City staff will cause to be filed within five calendar days a notice of statutory exemption with the County and State Clearinghouse. .

CONSENT

LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR LAGUNA
CANYON CREEK EROSION PROTECTION PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute and record the attached Deed Restriction and Agreement Regarding the Use of Property for on-site and off-site mitigation areas associated with the Laguna Canyon Creek Protection Project near the Animal Shelter;
2. Receive and file the attached Long-Term Management and Maintenance Plan for long-term stewardship of the mitigation areas and direct staff to complete permit closeout activities; and
3. Determine that no additional environmental review is required for the recommended action based on a prior adopted Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project that contemplated these implemented actions.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
This report recommends that the City Manager be authorized to execute and record a deed restriction for on-site and off-site mitigation areas established for the Laguna Canyon Creek Erosion Protection Project (“Project”) near the Animal Shelter and Pacific Marine Mammal Center. This deed restriction is a required component of the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan which was required by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2014-0019-R5, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) Coastal Development Permit (CDP) Number 18-1686, and the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) 401 Certification Number R9-2019-0017 (this Water Quality Certification also has its own independent requirement for a deed restriction) in order to offset unavoidable permanent and temporary impacts associated with the Project. The Project was constructed to implement long-term solutions to avoid flood damage and protect creek banks from further erosion.
The purpose of this staff report is to address two remaining items for the Project. First, the proposed deed restriction (Attachment 1) is consistent with the requirements of the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan and Water Quality Certification for the Project to encumber the mitigation properties, identified in Attachment 2, and preserve them as part of the Project closeout to ensure they are not negatively impacted by future development. Second, the above-mentioned approvals also require a Long-Term Management and Maintenance Plan (“LTMP") (Attachment 3) to ensure the on-site and off-site mitigation areas are managed, protected, and maintained in perpetuity in accordance with project permit requirements, established by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. The deed restriction has both an onsite and off-site component. Both are geared toward the same goal to protect and maintain or enhance the 1 of 163

wetland and streambed functions. The City may apply to the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board[1] for termination of the deed restriction in the future. However, there is not guarantee of this in the future and removal would likely result in a request from the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board for other mitigation efforts/projects.
Construction of the Project was completed in April 2021. The Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan and Water Quality Certification require on-site and off-site mitigation, five years of biological monitoring and maintenance, and permanent protection of the mitigation areas through a long-term management plan and recorded deed restriction.
DISCUSSION
The Laguna Canyon Creek Erosion Protection Project was initiated in response to repeated storm-related erosion and damage within Laguna Canyon Creek adjacent to the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter and Pacific Marine Mammal Center. The channel banks in this area had been damaged and eroded as a result of heavy storm flows, with project identifying storm damage from 2010 and 2019. In response, the City developed the project in 2019 to repair eroded channel banks, improve hydraulic performance, stabilize the creek corridor, and protect nearby public-serving facilities and infrastructure. As the project was refined in 2019, the scope expanded beyond basic erosion repair to include structural creek improvements and habitat restoration. The approved work included vegetation removal, sediment excavation, replacement of existing riprap with concrete block slope protection, construction of a high-flow stream terrace and retaining wall, pedestrian crossing replacement, streambed widening, and creek bank restoration with native landscaping.
Overall, the project was designed to improve channel capacity, reduce erosion, stabilize slopes, protect nearby public facilities, and enhance the creek corridor. The project also required environmental and regulatory review in 2019 due to impacts to jurisdictional waters and creek corridor habitat. The project received Design Review Board approvals on January 24, 2019, California Coastal Commission approval of the appealed Coastal Development Permit on October 18, 2019, and City Council approval of the construction contract on December 17, 2019. Permit conditions included habitat restoration, off-site mitigation, biological monitoring, and five years of maintenance and monitoring requirements. The Project was completed in April 2021, and the Project’s condition for a 5-year monitoring and maintenance period was initiated. The five-year mitigation period ended on December 31, 2025. The purpose of that period was to confirm that the on-site and off-site mitigation areas had successfully established as stable, self-sustaining habitat and that the project had met the ecological performance standards required by the regulatory permits and the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan. At the conclusion of the five-year mitigation period, the Final Annual Performance Monitoring Report confirms that the required mitigation was successfully established and that all monitoring, reporting, and maintenance requirements under the applicable permits have been satisfied. This concluded that both mitigation areas met all ecological success criteria and performance standards, and that the LTMP and deed restriction are the remaining permanent site-protection measures needed to complete Project closeout based on the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan and Water Quality Certification.
The proposed deed restriction implements long-term site protection requirements identified in the Habitat Mitigation Monitoring Plan and San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements. The deed 2 of 163
