CONSENT
22 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT FOR BUILDING AND

PLANNING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a sixth amendment to Agreement #22-49 with CSG Consultants, Inc. to increase the contract appropriation by $165,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $495,000 for continued building and planning services; and

2. Find this action is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
Staff recommends approval of an amendment to the existing agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc. (CSG) to increase the current contract appropriation by $165,000, for a not-to-exceed amount of $495,000, due to increased demand for consultant support services. Sufficient funding for the proposed amendment is available within the existing Community Development Department budget appropriations.

This action is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.

DISCUSSION
On June 21, 2022 the City Council awarded agreement #22-49 with CSG for $75,000 through a competitive bidding process that prequalifies professional services for on-call consulting services. Over the past four years, CSG has performed a range of services for the Department, including: planning, building inspection, fire code enforcement, permit technician, code enforcement, building plan check, and CEQA consulting services. These services have proven critical to Department operations, and CSG has provided qualified staffing at competitive rates. Due to increased utilization of consultant services, the Department has reached the contract appropriation for CSG.

Staff recommends increasing the appropriation for Agreement #22-49 by $165,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $495,000 for this year’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. In sum, the amendment will allow the City to continue use of CSG through this fiscal year. The proposed amendment is included as Attachment

1. It is important to note that the majority of work performed by CSG for the City involves building plan check services. Under the negotiated payment structure, CSG receives a percentage of the building plan check fees collected for the use of their services. Specifically, CSG retains 60% of the building plan check fee, while the City retains 40% to cover administrative and permit issuance costs.

This arrangement has proven to be largely cost-neutral to the City, as the permit fee revenue directly offsets consultant costs while allowing staff to efficiently augment building plan check services. 1 of 873

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Funding for the proposed $165,000 increase to the existing agreement with CSG Consultants is available within the FY 2025–26 Community Development Department budget under account #1104104-55036. No additional appropriation is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "project" under CEQA. The state CEQA Guidelines provide that "[a]n activity is not subject to CEQA if ... The activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378." (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c).) Here, the action does not qualify as a "project" as defined in State CEQA Guidelines section 15378. Section 15378 defines a project as an activity that "has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment." (State CEQA Guidelines, §15378(a).) Here, the action is to authorize the City Manager to increase funds for building and planning services, which will not result in any reasonably foreseeable impacts.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
This report presents the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and recommends that the City Council adopt the budget, salary schedules, and related resolutions necessary to meet the July 1 deadline under the Laguna Beach Municipal Code. The proposed budget reflects updates based on input received from the City Council at the May 12, 2026, public budget workshop. In addition, the proposed budget includes modifications based on new information staff received since May 12, 2026. Total Fiscal Year 2026-27 estimated revenues (for all City funds) are decreasing by $935,900 to $166.2 million and total estimated Fiscal Year 2026-27 expenditures (for all City funds) are increasing by $715,500 to $170.4 million. In addition, interfund transfers (between all City funds) are increasing by $1.1 million next year. A summary of the proposed modifications made to the proposed budget since May 12, 2026, is presented in Attachment 1, Exhibit A to the staff report.

City staff met with the City Council Budget Ad-Hoc committee on May 27, 2026, and again on June 2, 2026, to discuss the Fiscal Year 2026-27 proposed budget and review the City’s financial forecast. In addition, the City held two budget-related community sessions for the public:
• A City Services discussion / forum held online on Wednesday, May 20th, 2026; and • An in-person Town Hall meeting on June 16, 2026, focused on the FY 2026-27 budget.

Other key actions requested include authorizing the automatic carryover of unspent funds in the capital improvement funds, the assessment district funds, and the Wildfire Mitigation and Fire Safety Fund as of June 30, 2026; adopting the salary schedules for Fiscal Year 2026-27; approving allocations for Community Assistance and Cultural Arts Grants; and adopting the Gann Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

In addition to what’s contained in the Budget, the Budget Ad Hoc Committee will have some recommendations to make on Tuesday night that will be provided separately. Staff appreciates their ideas and suggestions to continuously improve the City and its efficiencies. Lastly, the City Manager has included Attachment 7 to this staff report, as he seeks additional Council direction on some outstanding matters.

DISCUSSION
The City held a public budget workshop on May 12, 2026, to present and receive input on the City’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The proposed modifications to the City’s Fiscal Year 2026-27 proposed budget since the May 12th meeting are itemized on Attachment 1, Exhibit A.

Changes to the Proposed General Fund Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27: The table below summarizes the proposed changes for the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2026-27:

In addition, the following adjustments are proposed that have a net impact of $0 to the General Fund’s budget:
• Funding one additional limited term Associate Planner position, however, the change does not impact the General Fund’s expenditures because the original proposed budget inadvertently included the cost of two limited term positions.
• Elimination of Building Official position, however, this change does not impact the General Fund’s expenditures because the cost of the position was offset by salary savings in the original proposed budget. The duties of the Building Official are being provided by the Deputy Director of Community Development.
• Eliminating the Engineering Technician and Associate Civil Engineer position to fund 2 Assistant Engineers based on the Public Works and Utilities Director’s review of the Department’s needs after the Associate Civil Engineer position was recently vacated. If approved, one Assistant Engineer position will be underfilled by the City’s current Engineering Technician.

Following these adjustments, total General Fund appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026-27 are $101.0 million.

The General Fund remains balanced (after a transfer of $2.3 million from the Capital Improvement Fund), with a 20% contingency reserve of $19.0 million.

Changes to the Proposed Budget in Other Funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27: The table below summarizes the proposed changes for other funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27:

Total appropriations for all Other Funds (Parking Fund, Capital Improvement Fund, Wastewater Fund, etc.) are $69.4 million, which includes $12.3 million in funding for capital improvement programs.

Attachment 1, Exhibit C itemizes capital outlay items that (if approved) will be funded by the General Fund ($450,000), South Laguna Fund ($30,000), Vehicle Replacement Fund ($4.9 million), and Capital Improvement Fund ($750,000).

Funding Policy Resolution (Attachment 2)
The City Council has also asked to renew a resolution, which reaffirms fiscal policies. Specifically, the resolution restricts the use of the Disaster Contingency Fund to emergencies involving the protection of life and property and public infrastructure repair, requiring a four-fifths Council vote for any expenditure. It also establishes an aspirational goal of maintaining this fund at 10% of the General Fund budget.

Additionally, the resolution directs up to $500,000 in excess Transient Occupancy Tax revenue to the Housing Fund, contingent on property tax growth exceeding budget estimates, and designates all transient Description One-Time Ongoing

occupancy tax revenue from short-term lodging units approved after July 2022 to the Housing Fund. Finally, the resolution reaffirms the Council’s policy of transferring up to $300,000 in mid-year General Fund savings to the Open Space Fund to support the acquisition and stewardship of open space resources. The City’s past practice has been to reaffirm this action annually.

Updated Salary Schedules (Attachment 3):

The salary schedules for Fiscal Year 2026-27, along with the Resolution approving the schedules, are included in Attachment 3. The revised salary schedules include the following changes:
• 1.5% salary range adjustment for Laguna Beach Municipal Employees’ Association (per MOU) • 3% salary range adjustment for Firefighters’ Association employees (per MOU) • 3% salary range adjustment for Police and Fire Management Association-Fire employees (per MOU)
• 1.5% salary range adjustment for Unrepresented Executive and Management employees and PartTime employees to match the increases for the Municipal Employees’ Association • 3.6% salary adjustment for City Attorney (per contract terms) • 3.6% salary adjustment for City Manager (per contract terms) • 1.5% salary adjustment for Elected City Clerk (per Resolution No. 25.057) • 1.5% salary adjustment for Elected City Treasurer (per Resolution No. 24.066) • Adjust Animal Shelter Manager salary range to align with the recommended range provided in the Citywide Classification and Compensation plan to facilitate recruitment efforts (MGMT 3040) Classification Updates:
• Move Wastewater Mechanical & Facilities Supervisor from MISC 122 to MISC 128. • Update the classification title of Emergency Operations Coordinator to Emergency Management Administrator and move from MISC 128 to MGMT 2005.
• New classifications added: Assistant Engineer (MISC 120), Housing Program Manager (MISC 128), and Transit and Parking Manager (MGMT 2010).

The salary schedules do not include the 4% salary adjustment included in the tentative agreement with the Laguna Beach Police and Fire Management Association-Police Unit because the agreement is pending City Council approval on the consent calendar. If the agreement is approved by the City Council, then the salary schedules for this bargaining unit will be adjusted accordingly.

Position Changes:

The budget includes eliminating 3 limited-term Associate Planner positions and 6 vacant regular full-time positions:

1) Communications Manager (City Manager)
2) Communications Coordinator (City Manager)
3) Senior Management Analyst (Administrative Services)
4) Administrative Analyst (Administrative Services)
5) Building Official (Community Development)
6) City Arborist (Public Works) (the City will still have two other staff members who are certified arborists)
These 9 reductions were offset by the addition of 2 new regular full-time positions: Jailer (Police Department) and Records Management Coordinator (Community Development Department). The full-time Jailer position resulted in the elimination of 2 part-time Jailer positions to improve staff consistency in keeping the position filled. A Records Management Coordinator position was permanently transferred from the Community Development Department to the City Clerk Department during Fiscal Year 2025-26.

However, the Community Development Department’s needs necessitate a Records Management Coordinator position. Therefore, the proposed budget includes the addition of this position. The net impact to the City’s total authorized and limited term full-time positions is a reduction of seven FT positions.

Community Assistance Grants
The City Council appointed Councilmember Kempf and Councilmember Jones to review the community assistance grant applications. This program is funded through the City's lease with the Festival of Arts.

Attachment 4 depicts their funding recommendations. The total grant funding of $234,500 is included in the City’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 (1103604-71000).

Cultural Arts Grants
The Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District (LBTMD) Management District Plan allocated $240,000 of funding for Cultural Arts Grants for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The Arts Commission has submitted recommendations for Cultural Arts Grants (Attachment 5). The total grants awarded by the Arts Commission is $320,900 ($80,900 more than the LBTMD allocation for Fiscal Year 2026-27). The Sawdust Art Festival returned its Fiscal Year 2025-26 grant of $23,500 to the City. The additional shortfall of $57,400 can be funded from unspent funding available in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget for Cultural Arts Facilities. As a result, staff is requesting the City Council authorize the carryover of $80,900 of unspent funds from the Business Improvement District Fund (112) and appropriate this amount effective July l, 2026 to fund all grants recommended by the Arts Commission.

Constitutional Appropriation Limit:

Each year, the City must adopt an appropriation limit, known as the Gann Limit, which restricts the amount of revenue that can be appropriated in a given fiscal year. The limit applies to expenditures funded by proceeds of taxes, such as Property Tax, Sales Tax, and Transient Occupancy Tax, after excluding qualified capital outlay, debt service, and federal mandates costs. The finance staff has calculated the Gann Limit for FY 2026-27 to be $88,686,767. As the City appropriations remain well below the limit, there is no fiscal impact on the City of Laguna Beach. Attachment 6 includes the resolution to meet the state mandate. 6 of 53

Modifications to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Amended Budget:

In June of each year, staff review the current fiscal year’s budget and recommends adjustments to the current year budget based on unanticipated changes or operational needs. The following adjustments are recommended:

General Fund:

Staff recommends creating a new Certified Access Specialist Special Revenue Fund (#204). California Senate Bill 1186 requires the City to collect an additional $4 fee on each City business license that is issued.

State law restricts the expenditure of these funds on activities that support disability-access compliance programs and Certified Access Specialist (CASp) services.

The City currently records this restricted revenue in the City’s General Fund and monitors the accumulated balance using a manual spreadsheet. Staff recommends creating a separate fund to follow predominant practice of other cities that administer business license programs and to improve staff efficiency through the elimination of utilizing a manual spreadsheet to monitor the balance. As a result, staff requests an appropriation and authorization to transfer $88,000 of funds on hand to the Certified Access Specialist Special Revenue Fund.

Animal Shelter Donation Fund (#142):

In November 2025, the City Council established a new fund to monitor the expenditures funded from animal shelter donations. At that time, approximately $1.4 million of unspent donation revenue was transferred from the General Fund to the new Animal Shelter Donations Fund. No appropriations for Fiscal Year 2025- 26 were requested at that time or during the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Update in April.

However, during Fiscal Year 2025-26, approximately $165,000 of costs have been incurred (or are under contract with a vendor) that may be eligible for expenditure from the Donations Fund. Staff recommends an appropriation of $165,000 from the Animal Shelter Donations Fund to fund following activities underway in Fiscal Year 2025-26:
(1) An organizational assessment of the Animal Shelter operations being completed by Baker-Tilly ($55,000);
(2) Consultant services for design work for planned Animal Shelter improvements ($26,675); (3) Replacement of the Animal Shelter’s air conditioner ($12,360); (4) Purchase of the Shelter’s new electric van ($63,725) with a vinyl wrap ($2,500); and (5) A new commercial washing machine ($3,700).

This leaves a contingency budget of $1,040 for unanticipated costs through the remainder of the fiscal year.

If not used, it will return to the Donations Fund.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The fiscal impact of the proposed budget adjustments is summarized in the “Net Impact to Available Fund Balance” column in Attachment 1, Exhibit B.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action consists of the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and therefore does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act. (Public Resources Code Section 21065; 14 CCR Section 15378(b)(4).)

MODIFICATIONS TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 BUDGET
GENERAL FUND (110/112)

1. Reduce revenues and expenditures by $517,300 to reallocate items to new Solid Waste Special Revenue Fund.

2. Revise the authorized positions in the City’s budget to reflect:
a. Funding one additional limited term Associate Planner position. (This change does not have a budgetary impact because the original proposed budget inadvertently included the cost of 2 limited term positions.)

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO RESTRICT FUNDING IN

THE DISASTER CONTINGENCY FUND, TRANSFER

TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX REVENUE IN EXCESS OF

BUDGET ESTIMATES TO THE HOUSING FUND, AND
TRANSFER MID-YEAR BUDGET SAVINGS UP TO $300,000 TO

THE OPEN SPACE FUND
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the importance of maintaining adequate funds for the Housing Fund, the Open Space Fund and the Disaster Contingency Fund; and WHEREAS, prudent financial planning and responsible budgeting are crucial in ensuring the City's fiscal stability and resilience; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to allocate City revenues in a manner that balances the needs of the community and prior City Council actions.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH DOES RESOLVE:

SECTION 1. FUNDING RESTRICTIONS – DISASTER CONTINGENCY FUND:

1. The Disaster Contingency Fund is to be used exclusively for (a) the repair of public facilities and (b) the emergency protection of public and private property and lives during natural or manmade disasters, including but not limited to landslides, mudslides, fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear accidents, terrorist attacks, or armed conflict. Through the annual budget process, the City Council shall appropriate money to the Disaster Contingency Fund. Any expenditure from the Disaster Contingency Fund shall require four affirmative votes of the Councilmembers. Within 36 months following the allocation of money from the Disaster Contingency Fund, the City Council shall use its best efforts to replenish the Disaster Contingency Fund to at least its preexisting amount, in accordance with and subject to the annual budget process.

2. It is the aspirational goal of the City Council that the amount of the Disaster Contingency Fund ultimately be equal to ten percent (10%) of the General Fund budget of the City in each fiscal year.

Attachment 2
18 18 of 53
- 2 - Reso. #

3. The City Council intends to use its best efforts to appropriate $1.5 million per fiscal year to the Disaster Contingency Fund until the amount in the Disaster Contingency Fund reaches ten percent (10%) of the General Fund.

SECTION 2. TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX REVENUE TRANSFER TO THE HOUSING FUND:

The City Council intends that if the actual property tax growth surpasses the proposed budget estimate for property tax growth, then up to $500,000 of transient occupancy tax revenue shall be transferred to the Housing Fund, limited by the amount of property tax received over budget estimates or $500,000. The consideration for such transfer shall occur in July, following the release of growth of property assessed valuations from the Orange County Assessor.

SECTION 3. TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX REVENUE FROM SHORT-TERM LODGING:

The City Council has determined that all transient occupancy tax revenue from short-term lodging units approved on or after July 2021 shall be directed and deposited into the Housing Fund.

SECTION 4. OPEN SPACE FUND MID-YEAR ALLOCATION:

The City Council shall consider the transfer of the amount of $300,000 from the General Fund to the Open Space Fund as part of the mid-year financial update. Any transferred funds shall be expended for the future purchase and maintenance of projects and programs that are designed to protect and enhance open space, including coastal resources.

SECTION 5. IMPLEMENTATION AND REVIEW:

The City Manager is hereby authorized to take any necessary actions to implement and enforce the provisions of this Resolution. The City Council shall review the effectiveness and impact of these funding restrictions and allocations on an annual basis and may make additional adjustments as deemed necessary or appropriate.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET – DISCUSSION OF UNRESOLVED ITEMS
Items that have come up in conversation with Council and others are summarized in this memo (in no particular order of importance) as items that could either be discussed, modified, rejected or considered and approved as changes to the proposed Final Budget, or brought back soon as Budget Amendments.

1. Affordable Housing. Council Member Whalen asked for consideration of finding ways to support the Housing Fund, which has a projected ending fund balance of $1,489,000 as of June 30, 2026. The Housing In Lieu fund has another $754,000 in it as of the same date (total $2,243,000). This amount is generally committed to a proposed project to be considered by the Council after July 1, 2026 (the Neighborhood Congregational Church project).

Per various policies (Resolution 23.035, and Resolution 23.045), the Housing Fund is supported by:
• Up to $500,000 annually, when actual property tax revenues as updated by the July Assessment Roll come in over estimates made when the budget is adopted in June.

The transfer shall be the amount of the overage up to $500,000. • Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) from short-term lodging permits issued during or after July 2022, which is about $100,000 annually.

Options for creating a different or more reliable revenue stream for the Housing Fund may include, but not be limited to:
• A regular transfer from the Parking Fund and/or the Capital Improvement Fund.

These funds include revenues that are considered general fund revenues in other jurisdictions. The downside of this is less funding for capital and parking infrastructure improvements – but housing may be as or more important in a revenuestrained environment. • An increase in the TOT levied on Short-term Lodgings, possibly higher than that levied on hotels. The justification for a higher rate – which must be approved by the Laguna Beach electorate and may involve further legal analysis – would be that ShortTerm Lodgings can reduce the community’s housing supply for non-visitors. • Reconsidering the Disaster Relief Fund, which earns about $150,000 per year in interest income, with a balance of $7,422,000 as of 6-30-2026. Some of the funds (interest or principal) could be redesignated for affordable housing, although clearly their intended purpose is important, too.

Attachment 7
48 48 of 53

2. Artificial Intelligence – Community Development. This effort would implement the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Zoning Plan Check (ZPC) and Building Plan Check review process. Specifically, AI could verify and interact directly with applicants to ensure that all required information submitted through the City's online application portal is sufficient to complete a review.

Currently, many applications are submitted without all required information, and the resulting back-and-forth communication between applicants and staff can take several days before an application is deemed complete and routed to the appropriate City departments and disciplines for review. AI assistance could help identify deficiencies at the time of submittal, streamline communications with applicants, and accelerate the completeness determination process.

Additionally, AI could assist with conducting initial zoning and building plan check reviews and begin the process of drafting redlined comments and a consolidated review letter to the applicant. Based on testing conducted to date, the results have been encouraging and suggest that these tools could further improve review efficiency, reduce processing times, and allow staff to focus on more complex planning and building code issues requiring professional judgment.

Subject to additional procurement policy reviews, one vendor’s product is about $150,000 for a six-month trial period. At some point, the cost of this service could be borne by fees, and could likely be a near-complete offset to the fees that involve manual review for both completeness checks and ZPC. This funding is not identified in the proposed Final Budget.

3. The Main Beach Boardwalk. Council member Whalen has asked about the Boardwalk at Main Beach – when to repair it, using what materials. The choices generally are the same Douglas Fir that is used now for repairs, or a Brazilian hardwood alternative.

If Council would like to staff to start design work on this project, Public Works staff could assign $100,000 from unencumbered CI Funds (Fund 616) to the FY 2026-2027 Year One CIP. If Council has strong opinions about the materials here, Council may wish to give direction now (fir v. hardwood) or whether to defer this to the Planning Commission.

When the Main Beach park was renovated in 2025, an informal bid alternate ask was made of the contractor – the contractor estimated a Douglas Fir replacement to be about $1,300,000 for the entirety of the Boardwalk.

4. Mermaid Lot and Key Intersection improvements. The proposed CIP has an allocation of $200,000 from the CI Fund (Fund 616) for design, landscaping, irrigation, and infrastructure improvements to the Mermaid Lot at the corner of Glenneyre and Mermaid.

Depending on the Council’s discussion about AB 413-related changes to the downtown as well as the termination of outdoor dining that takes up parking spaces, the Council may wish to consider expanding the Mermaid Lot program to re-design the four corners of this intersection.

As a part of this project, Council may wish to consider minor pedestrian and ADA improvements to the intersection at Ocean and Beach (including a longer extension of Beach on the north side to the flood control channel), and Ocean and Forest. None of these improvements would involve tree removals. If Council wishes to consider this, another $300,000 may be allocated (a very preliminary estimate) to expand this project.

Rather than utilize new appropriations for this, Council may want to consider a redesignation some of the $1,314,000 allocated for Downtown Action Plan improvements within the CI Fund (Fund 616).

5. Continuation of Services with Townsend and Associates – Grant Writing and Advocacy. The City Manager suggested in the Proposed Budget that the City go without advocacy services for a year, given a possibly light legislative effort. The Ad Hoc Committee is interested in continuing these services (at about $7,000 per month, or $84,000 per year) by adding grant writing services to Townsend’s retainer, which Townsend offered verbally to provide to the City at the same monthly price.

Townsend has coordinated and assisted with grants and earmarks in the past, including the BRIC Grant a few years ago (which was part of Cal-OES’s recommendation to the Federal BRIC Program but BRIC was later cancelled by President Trump), and earmarks for Laguna Canyon Road ($850,000), the Moss Street Beach Accessway ($1,225,000), Victoria II Sewer Lift Station ($746,868), and Fire Station #4 ($850,000). We have an earmark request in to US Representative Min this year, for Drones as a First Responder (also $750,000). The proposed contract amount ($84,000) with Townsend would need to be added back into the Final Budget.

6. Police Mounted Unit. Members of the Laguna Beach Police Department and leadership of the Laguna Beach Police and Community Foundation have suggested establishing a 4-member Mounted Enforcement Unit (MEU), where up to four members of the PD would have the specialty assignment of caring for and riding horses that were purchased for the City (with specific ownership to be determined), using LBPCF donations to cover all of 50 50 of 53
the costs of the MEU program for two years. Covered costs include the purchase of the horses, veterinary care, stabling, food, shoeing, and the specialty pay differential that staff may receive for their responsibilities (on and off duty) to care for, train, and ride the horses, sometimes as a part of a Regional Mounted Unit in other locations in addition to Laguna Beach (the regional team would also come to Laguna Beach for events).

Mounted Units serve as ceremonial programs (parades and other community events), crowd control, trail patrols, and an opportunity for officers to expand skills that can serve as a retention and recruitment tool for the Police Department.

On the other hand, the City Manager has expressed concerns that even the generous commitment of the Foundation to fund Years 1 & 2 of the new MEU program may put the City government in a later predicament – whether to continue or discontinue what likely will be a popular program, with animals that are loved and appreciated by the community. In response, the Foundation members have discussed a longer phased commitment covering a larger part of subsequent years.

The City Manager notes, too, that the equestrian program at his former city (Newport Beach) was both popular with the public and effective for crowd control in West Newport Beach and on the Balboa Peninsula. Those same circumstances may be less frequent in Laguna Beach.

The Council and Foundation may wish to consider this request again in 2027 should there be less economic uncertainty, or following the completion of important labor discussions during the second half of 2026.

Should this be added to the Final Budget, it would entail both an expenditure increase of $195,000 (in Year 1 costs – including one-time of $74K and ongoing of $120K) and an offsetting revenue increase of $195,000. The Year 2 cost is estimated to be $150,000.

7. Laguna Local Adjustments. The Council has already determined that a fare for this micro-transit service is not appropriate, but left the door open to further study of microtransit’s days and times of use. This (relatively) low-cost item would direct staff to work with our new booking vendor, Trip Shot, to provide data and reports to help with this analysis. Doing so would allow the City to potentially consider:
• Measuring whether certain hours of the day or days of the week (or both) should be discontinued or modified.
• Whether high LBUSD student use of Laguna Local may warrant a discussion with LBUSD officials as to a transportation cost offset of City’s operating costs for Laguna Local.
51 51 of 53
Staff does not believe we need further direction in this regard. We have met with Trip Shot and Trip Shot appears to be able to easily produce the data and reports we may need to make these decisions.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:

June 23, 2026

BUSINESS
24 SUBJECT: FORMATION AND APPOINTMENT OF AN AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR

PROPOSED AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Establish an Ad Hoc Committee comprised of two City Council Members to work with staff and Related California regarding the evaluation of the funding request associated with the approved affordable housing project at Neighborhood Congregational Church;

2. Appoint two City Council Members to serve on the Ad Hoc Committee;

3. Direct the Ad Hoc Committee to work with staff and Related California and return to the City Council with recommendations regarding the funding request as early as July 7, 2026; and

4. Provide that the Ad Hoc Committee shall automatically sunset upon the City Council's consideration and disposition of Related California's funding request, unless otherwise directed by the City Council.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
Related California has requested City participation in the financing of a proposed affordable housing development at the Neighborhood Congregational Church site located at 340 St. Ann's Drive. The funding request contemplates the potential use of City housing resources and other financial participation to support the development of affordable housing units.

On January 3, 2026, the Planning Commission approved the proposed affordable housing project pursuant to its review authority under Senate Bill 4 (SB 4). The appeal period has since expired with no appeals submitted. With the local land use entitlement process complete, the next phase of the project involves evaluation of the funding request submitted by Related California.

Related California has requested that the City reach a decision regarding its funding request before July 21, 2026, which is the deadline for submission of its application for Low Income Housing Tax Credits. To facilitate a timely and informed evaluation of the request, staff recommends that the City Council establish an Ad Hoc Committee to work with staff and Related California during the due diligence process and return to the City Council with a recommendation as early as July 7, 2026.

BACKGROUND
The City of Laguna Beach has established affordable housing as a strategic priority and has undertaken numerous efforts to preserve and expand housing opportunities for lower income households. Among these efforts, the City established the Laguna Beach Local Housing Trust Fund and successfully secured a $2.5 million Local Housing Trust Fund grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, which requires a dollar for dollar local match. 1 of 56

FORMATION AND APPOINTMENT OF AN AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR PROPOSED

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
June 23, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

Neighborhood Congregational Church and Related California have proposed the development of an affordable housing project on church property located at 340 St. Ann's Drive. The proposed development consists of deed restricted affordable housing units intended to serve lower income households.

On January 3, 2026, the Planning Commission approved the project pursuant to its authority under SB 4.

Under SB 4, the City's review authority was limited to specific objective standards and public coastal access considerations. Following the Planning Commission's approval, the appeal period expired with no appeals filed, and the project has completed its local land use entitlement process.

As part of the project's financing strategy, Related California has requested financial participation from the City. The City previously identified the Neighborhood Congregational Church site as a potential affordable housing opportunity in its application for Local Housing Trust Fund funding. While the City has identified the potential availability of certain housing funds, staff has determined that additional analysis is necessary to evaluate the overall financing proposal and determine the appropriateness and feasibility of any City financial participation.

Accordingly, the next phase of the project is the evaluation of the funding request submitted by Related California and the consideration of whether, and under what terms, the City may participate in financing the proposed development.

DISCUSSION
The funding request submitted by Related California involves multiple financial considerations, including project costs, funding sources, projected revenues and expenses, long-term affordability commitments, and repayment assumptions associated with any proposed City participation.

Staff has identified several areas requiring additional information and analysis, including:
• A project pro forma and long term financial projections; • Clarification regarding the specific project components for which City funding would be used; • Identification of all proposed funding sources and financing assumptions; • Evaluation of the relationship between available City housing funds and proposed project costs; • Analysis of long term operational and financial sustainability; and • Assessment of risks and obligations associated with any City financial participation.

Related California has advised the City that it intends to submit an application for Low Income Housing Tax Credits by July 21, 2026, and has requested that the City reach a decision regarding its funding request before that deadline. Given the compressed timeline and complexity of the financing proposal, staff believes an Ad Hoc Committee would provide an effective mechanism for facilitating discussions and expediting information gathering and analysis.

The committee would serve in an advisory capacity and would not possess authority to negotiate or commit City funds. Rather, the committee would assist staff in reviewing information provided by Related California and developing recommendations for consideration by the full City Council. The intent is for the 2 of 56

FORMATION AND APPOINTMENT OF AN AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR PROPOSED

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
June 23, 2026

Page 3 of 3 ends

Ad Hoc Committee and staff to complete their review and return to the City Council with recommendations as early as July 7, 2026, recognizing that any final decision regarding City financial participation remains solely within the authority of the City Council at a publicly noticed meeting.

Potential responsibilities of the Ad Hoc Committee include:
• Participating in discussions with Related California regarding the funding request and financing assumptions;
• Reviewing information provided by Related California in support of its request; • Assisting in identifying information necessary to evaluate the proposal; • Providing feedback to staff regarding issues and considerations that may warrant additional analysis; and
• Reporting back to the full City Council regarding the status of discussions and recommendations for future Council consideration.

The Ad Hoc Committee is intended to be temporary and limited in purpose. The committee's sole function is to assist staff and facilitate communication with Related California during the City's evaluation of the funding request associated with the approved affordable housing project at Neighborhood Congregational Church. Upon the City Council's consideration and disposition of the funding request, the Ad Hoc Committee will automatically dissolve unless the City Council takes further action to extend or modify its purpose.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The formation of the Ad Hoc Committee has no direct fiscal impact. Existing staff resources will support meeting coordination and administrative activities associated with the committee. Any future financial commitment by the City regarding the proposed affordable housing project would be subject to separate City Council review and authorization.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The formation of an ad hoc committee is an organizational and administrative activity of government that does not result in a direct or indirect physical change to the environment and is therefore not a project under the California environmental quality act pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15378.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:

June 23, 2026

BUSINESS
25 SUBJECT: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: CONSIDERATION OF OUTDOOR DINING

PARKLET EXTENSION AND MARKET ASSESSMENT
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Consider whether to extend the expiration date of the three remaining outdoor dining parklets currently operating within public parking spaces to December 31, 2026, or another date determined by the City Council; and

2. Provide direction regarding the preparation of a 2026 Economic Development Market Assessment to identify retail, restaurant, grocery, health and fitness, and other commercial business categories that are underrepresented in Laguna Beach and desired by residents.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
On November 18, 2025, the City Council directed staff to extend existing parklet Temporary Use Permits (TUPs) for up to six months, from January 1, 2026, and required businesses to develop transition plans for relocating outdoor dining from public parking spaces to alternative compliant locations. Those permits are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026.

Three parklets remain in operation: Tango, Oto Sushi, and Adonis. Staff is seeking Council direction regarding whether the remaining parklets should be removed as previously directed or whether the Council wishes to authorize an extension through December 31, 2026, or another date.

Additionally, staff is seeking direction regarding the preparation of a citywide market assessment. The purpose of the assessment would be to identify business categories and commercial uses that are currently underserved within Laguna Beach and to provide data that can support future economic development, business attraction, and land use policy decisions.

BACKGROUND
Parklets
During the November 18, 2025, meeting, the City Council established a distinction between outdoor dining operating on private property and parklets occupying public parking spaces.

For parklets located within public parking spaces, the City Council directed staff to extend existing TUPs until June 30, 2026, request transition plans from participating businesses wishing to extend outdoor at their restaurant to December 31, 2026, and evaluate long term solutions that would relocate outdoor dining into sidewalks, private property, or other compliant configurations.

Since that direction was provided, the number of active parklets has continued to decline. As of the date of this report, three parklets remain in operation within public parking spaces. 1 of 68

EXTENSION AND MARKET ASSESSMENT

Page 2 of 3 ends

Market Assessment
The City has undertaken several economic development initiatives in recent years, including business retention efforts, commercial vacancy monitoring, and targeted recruitment activities. While these efforts have provided valuable information regarding individual businesses and commercial districts, the City has not recently completed a comprehensive market assessment focused on identifying the types of businesses most desired by residents, visitors, and the marketplace.

A market assessment could provide an objective evaluation of current market conditions, consumer spending patterns, retail leakage, demographic trends, visitor behavior, and business opportunities within Laguna Beach.

DISCUSSION
Parklet Extension
The Council may determine that extending the remaining parklets would provide additional operational certainty for the affected businesses while the City continues broader discussions regarding outdoor dining and commercial vitality.

Potential advantages of an extension include:
• Continued outdoor dining opportunities for participating businesses. • Additional time for businesses to evaluate permanent alternatives, including patterns of use at the Promenade on Forest as well and updated AB 413/bulb-out planning. • Preservation of existing customer amenities during the summer and holiday seasons.

Potential considerations include:
• Continued occupation of public parking spaces.
• Consistency with the Council's previous direction regarding parklet removal. • Equity considerations for businesses that have already removed their parklets.

Should the Council desire to extend the remaining parklets, staff recommends establishing a definitive expiration date and clarifying whether any additional conditions should apply during the extension period.

Economic Development Market Assessment
There’s little doubt that the retail environment has changed nationally, regionally, and locally given the extent of on-line purchasing. Even as we may hope that certain retail stores will prosper in commercial areas, the marketplace drives these decisions. The City has talked about using better data and professional expertise to advise the City and community as to what mix or mixes of uses will do well, at least until use patterns change again.

A market assessment could provide valuable information regarding the types of businesses that residents, visitors, and the broader market would and would not support within Laguna Beach.

Potential topics for analysis include:
• Restaurant and food service opportunities.
• Specialty retail categories.
• Grocery and neighborhood serving commercial uses.
• Health, wellness, and fitness businesses.

• Entertainment and experiential retail.
• Consumer spending patterns and retail leakage.
• Visitor spending trends.
• Commercial vacancy trends.
• Recruitment opportunities and market gaps.

The assessment could be completed by neighborhood by an economic development consultant with expertise in retail recruitment and market analysis. The resulting report could help guide future economic development strategies, business recruitment efforts, zoning discussions, and commercial corridor planning.

Examples of questions that could be addressed include:
• What business categories are under- and over-represented in Laguna Beach? • What goods and services are residents purchasing outside of city stores and providers? • What business sectors demonstrate the strongest market potential, and in what neighborhoods? • What business types are most frequently requested by residents and visitors? • How can / does Laguna Beach compete and compare with similar coastal communities?

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
If the Council elects to extend the parklets, there would be no significant additional fiscal impact beyond ongoing permit administration and enforcement activities.

Should the Council direct staff to prepare a market assessment, staff would return with a proposed scope of work and associated budget for Council consideration. Depending on the scope and consultant selected, costs would likely be funded through existing economic development appropriations or a future budget allocation.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed actions are not projects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378 of the CEQA guidelines because they involve organizational and administrative activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

Dear Mayor Orgill and City Councilmembers:

Our firm represents Drew and Stacey Howitt, the owners of Tango Restaurant at 305 Forest Avenue in downtown Laguna Beach, who have operated a permitted 45-seat parklet since April 2024. As explained in more detail below, we write in support of the Council extending the outdoor dining parklet permits through December 31, 2026.

Since acquiring the restaurant in 2022, the Howitts (long-time Laguna Beach residents) have offered locals and visitors a unique dining experience in a restored historic building. The parklet, occupying two parking spaces on Forest Ave. and built according to the City’s design specifications, has become an integral part of Tango’s customer experience—the space has become a desirable spot to not only enjoy the restaurant’s offerings, but also creates an engaging and lively streetscape in downtown. In fact, the parklet accounts for approximately 41 percent of the restaurant’s annual revenues.

While we appreciate, and agree with, the Council’s desire to create a permanent outdoor dining program, we believe the reasonable and prudent approach now is to extend the parklet permits until at least the end of December 2026. This will provide sufficient time for staff to collaborate with our clients and other similarly situated restaurants to develop alternative designs that meet the City’s policy objectives. And the additional time will enable the City to fully develop an outdoor dining program that addresses new regulatory considerations (e.g., compliance with AB 413) and proposed street improvements (e.g, bulbouts and widened sidewalks), and complements the Promenade project. Importantly, extending the parklet permits will enable the restaurants to capitalize on the summer tourist and holiday seasons—the most important periods for Laguna Beach businesses—upon which they rely to survive financially for the remainder of the year. The City’s successful parklet program generates jobs and tax revenue, promotes local businesses, and enhances the vibrancy and charm of downtown. 11 of 68

These businesses, including independent restaurants, retailers, art galleries, and other neighborhood-serving uses, are the lifeblood of downtown Laguna Beach. The city’s appeal as a special coastal community and its economic vitality depend on a thriving, well-maintained, and pedestrian-friendly downtown. Our clients, like many other small businesses, have made significant, long-term investments in this community and depend on the City’s cooperation and support.

Taking the drastic action of removing the few remaining parklets now would certainly create severe financial impacts and unnecessarily disrupt the restaurants’ operations. Maintaining the existing outdoor dining parklets is a sensible and practical solution that benefits restaurants, customers, residents, the City, and the Laguna Beach community. We urge the Council to avoid a catastrophe, and to extend the current parklet program until the end of the 2026.

Sincerely,

NON APPEAL
26 SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 218 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER PROPOSED MAXIMUM

SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION SERVICE RATES AND
APPROVAL OF FOURTH AMENDMENT TO FRANCHISE AGREEMENT NO. 23- 132 WITH CR&R INCORPORATED
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Conduct a Proposition 218 public hearing regarding the proposed maximum solid waste and recycling collection service rates and receive the City Clerk’s final tabulation of written protests;

2. Determine whether a majority protest exists under Article XIIID, Section 6 of the California Constitution;

3. If a majority protest does not exist, adopt the Resolution titled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, SETTING MAXIMUM SOLID

WASTE SERVICE RATES, APPROVING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT NO. 23-132 WITH CR&R INCORPORATED, AND REPEALING RESOLUTIONS INCONSISTENT HEREWITH”;

4. Approve the Fourth Amendment to Agreement No. 23-132 with CR&R Incorporated and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment in substantially the form attached, subject to minor revisions approved by the City Attorney; and

5. Find the proposed action exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15061 (B)(3) and 15308 or, alternatively, determine that the proposed action is not a “project” under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
On July 11, 2023, the City Council awarded Franchise Agreement No. 23-132 to CR&R Incorporated (CR&R) for the collection, transportation, processing, diversion, and disposal of municipal solid waste. The eight-year agreement became effective on July 1, 2024, and includes the option for two one-year extensions based on performance standards.

Since the implementation of Franchise Agreement No. 23-132, City staff and CR&R continuously monitor and evaluate the various solid waste services in the City to ensure effective, reliable, and cost-appropriate services are being provided to the public. To that end, on January 28, 2025, the City Council approved the Third Amendment to the agreement, which modified service and billing provisions for multi-family properties with eight or fewer units. Following implementation, staff and CR&R continued to evaluate actual service levels, unit counts, cart allocations, and customer feedback for smaller multi-family properties between 2-8 units. During this process, City staff began formulating ideas and different possible solutions compared to the straight “per-unit” billing structure. That is, billing was based on the flat number of units – not the number of carts – for multi-family residential properties. Staff began to identify potential flaws with this approach. Particularly in light of smaller, two or three unit properties with minimal cans in 1 of 112

comparison to a large single-family home with extra units in the form of ADUs or JADUs which were just billed at the SFR rate plus the cost of any additional carts requested.1 On April 28, 2026, the City Council received a report on the City’s solid waste service rates and potential issues with the current status of these services – including a possible cart-based pricing structure for eligible multi-family residential properties with two to eight units. The City Council directed staff to prepare and distribute the required Proposition 218 notices and set a public hearing for June 23, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. for certain solid waste rate adjustments that better reflect the costs of providing various solid waste services.

Notices describing the proposed rate adjustments and protest procedure were mailed on Friday, May 8, 2026 to approximately 11,262 affected property owners and customers, at least 45 days before the public hearing (Attachment 1).

The proposed rate adjustments scheduled to become effective July 1, 2026 are driven by three components:
implementation of the Waste Infrastructure System Enhancement (WISE) disposal agreement, contractual inflationary adjustments tied to the Finished Goods and Natural Gas Producer Price Indices, and a proposed repricing of eligible multi-family properties with two to eight units from a per-unit billing structure to a cart-based billing structure. Staff recommends approving the rate adjustments and the Fourth Amendment to Agreement No. 23-132 to implement the revised rate structure.

DISCUSSION
Proposition 218 Public Hearing and Protest Process
Article XIIID, Section 6 of the California Constitution requires the City to provide notice and conduct a public hearing before imposing or increasing property-related fees for solid waste collection services. The mailed notice described the proposed rates, the basis for the proposed adjustments, the date, time and location of the public hearing, and the process to submit a written protest. The City may not impose the proposed rates if written protests are submitted by a majority of affected property owners or ratepayers.

For a protest to be counted, it must be in writing, identify the affected parcel or service address, include the original signature of the property owner of record authorized to submit the protest, and be received before the close of the public hearing. Only one protest per parcel may be counted. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Clerk will report the number of valid written protests. As of the preparation of this report, 10 written protests have been received (Attachment 2). If a majority protest does not exist, the City Council may adopt the attached Resolution setting maximum solid waste service rates and approving the Fourth Amendment (Attachment 3).

Under the current agreement between the City and CR&R, multi-family properties with dwelling units located in a building or complex of eight or fewer units may subscribe to the Residential Rates set forth in the agreement and are charged a per unit basis. Multi-family properties with bin service, multiple days per week collection, and/or nine or more units are subject to billing for services at the Commercial/Multi-family Maximum Rates.
1 These multi-family properties did receive additional services such as more frequent bulky-item pick up and other related soldiwaste services. 2 of 112

Rate Adjustment Components
The proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 solid waste rate adjustments include three components. First, the WISE component reflects increased landfill disposal costs associated with the Waste Infrastructure System Enhancement agreement approved by the City Council in March 2026. Second, the annual contractual inflationary adjustment reflects changes in the Finished Goods and Natural Gas Producer Price Indices applicable to collection and processing services under the Franchise Agreement. Third, the multi-family repricing adjustment would transition eligible multi-family properties with two to eight units from per-unit billing to a cart-based pricing structure.

The WISE and Producer Price Index adjustments are contractual cost components. The multi-family repricing adjustment is a policy adjustment intended to better align customer billing with actual service levels at smaller multi-family properties while continuing to ensure that each property has access to landfill, recycling, and organics collection service consistent with Senate Bill 1383 requirements.

Multi-Family Cart-Based Pricing for Properties with Two to Eight Units Approximately 858 multi-family properties with two to eight units are currently billed on a per-unit basis for one residential 3-cart set for each dwelling unit, regardless of the actual number of carts onsite. These multi-family properties are afforded additional services such as more numerous bulky item pickup options, hazardous waste removal options, etc. For example, a two-unit property currently pays $54.42 per month, calculated as two units multiplied by $27.21 for a 3-cart set with a 95-gallon trash cart. A three-unit property pays $81.63 per month, calculated as three units multiplied by $27.21 for the same level of service.

Under the proposed cart-based structure, eligible multi-family properties with two to eight units would be billed for one base residential 3-cart set, with additional carts billed only as needed at the applicable residential extra-cart rates. Staff believes that this proposed structure more closely aligns rates with actual service levels, addresses concerns raised by property owners regarding the flat cost per unit, and preserves compliance with State-mandated recycling and organics service access requirements. Actual service levels may vary by site based on container capacity, site constraints, waste generation, contamination, and operational needs. Further, City staff and CR&R will remain vigilant if the new pricing is implemented to ensure properties do not purposefully under subscribe to solid waste services and cause issues during pick up.

Impact of Multi-Family Repricing (Adjustments)
The proposed rate configuration would reduce rates for the affected two-to-eight-unit multi-family customer class and would result in an estimated reduction in CR&R rate revenue of approximately $27,753 per month. Because CR&R's cost of providing service does not decrease by the same amount, remaining system costs must be recovered through the rate structure. The proposed repricing is estimated to increase the base residential rate by approximately 4.4% and the commercial sample rate by approximately 5.2% to maintain proportional cost recovery. These figures were the result of analysis and conversations with CR&R about the proper allocation and their costs based on the various soldi waste services they provide throughout the City.

If adopted, the Fourth Amendment would formally revise the Franchise Agreement to implement this cartbased pricing approach for eligible two-to-eight-unit multi-family properties while maintaining Commercial/Multi-Family Maximum Rates for properties with bin service, multiple collection days per week, or nine or more units.

Comparative Rate Analysis
The Orange County rate comparison included with the April 28, 2026 agenda materials indicated that Laguna Beach's current residential solid waste rate for the 95-gallon 3-cart bundle ranks near the midpoint among Orange County jurisdictions, at 16th highest out of 35. Assuming other Orange County jurisdictions also experience disposal fee and inflationary increases, Laguna Beach is projected to rank 11th highest for the representative residential rate if the WISE, Producer Price Index, and proposed multi-family repricing adjustments are implemented.

The City's representative commercial rate for one 3-cubic-yard refuse bin serviced once per week is comparatively higher and is projected to remain 5th highest countywide. This reflects the practical realities of providing service in Laguna Beach, including steep terrain, narrow alleys, constrained access, and heavy seasonal traffic, all of which create a more challenging and costly operating environment.

Fourth Amendment to Franchise Agreement No. 23-132
The proposed Fourth Amendment would update the Franchise Agreement to implement the revised multifamily cart-based billing structure and the Fiscal Year 2026-27 maximum rate schedule (Attachment 4).

The amendment is structured to revise definitions related to residential and multi-family service, amend the billing provisions for eligible multi-family complexes, and replace or supplement Attachment D to the Franchise Agreement with the updated maximum rate schedule effective July 1, 2026.

Under the proposed amendment, eligible multi-family properties with eight or fewer units that receive cart service would be billed based on the actual subscribed residential cart service level rather than automatically being billed per dwelling unit.

more units would remain subject to Commercial/Multi-Family Maximum Rates. The City Manager would retain the ability to resolve service classification disputes and require service adjustments necessary for capacity, access, operational, or regulatory compliance.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
No General Fund appropriation is requested as part of this action. Solid waste collection, processing, diversion, and disposal services are supported through customer rates established under the Franchise Agreement. The WISE-related disposal fee increase and annual Producer Price Index adjustments are contractual pass-through cost components. If the multi-family repricing adjustment is adopted, it will decrease charges to the affected two-to-eight-unit multi-family customer class while redistributing remaining system costs through corresponding residential and commercial base-rate adjustments needed to maintain proportional recovery of reasonable service costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), in that the proposed rate adjustments and related administrative actions are not anticipated to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In addition, the proposed action is not a “project” for purposes of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, because it has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

CONCERNING PROPOSED RATE INCREASES

TO SOLID WASTE SERVICE CHARGES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Laguna Beach (the “City”) will conduct a Public Hearing on June 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., in City Council Chambers, 505 Forest Avenue, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, to consider adopting increases and adjustments in the current rates for Solid Waste Service. Members of the public may view the hearing live by either attending in-person or via such other means as the City may designate. Any member of the public wishing to provide public comment may do so by attending the meeting in-person or as otherwise directed in the City Council agenda. The City will provide public access information pertaining to the Public Hearing via the City Council agenda, which will be posted to the City’s website when such information becomes available.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED INCREASES
The City has an exclusive franchise agreement with CR&R Environmental Services (“CR&R”) for the collection and handling of refuse, recyclable materials, and organic waste (green waste and food scrap waste) within the City (collectively, “Solid Waste Service”). All properties within the City are required to subscribe to the Solid Waste Service provided by CR&R. Pursuant to the franchise agreement, Solid Waste Service Fees are imposed on customers within the City who receive Solid Waste Service from CR&R. CR&R bills customers directly for Solid Waste Service. The revenues from the charges are used to pay CR&R for the Solid Waste Service provided.

The franchise agreement establishes a process for revising the amount that CR&R will charge for the Solid Waste Service it provides within the City. CR&R is proposing to increase the rates it charges for Solid Waste Service. The franchise agreement provides that rates may be adjusted annually based on changes in the Producer Price Index for Natural Gas (WPU0531), the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods Less Food & Energy (WPUFD4131), and the actual change in the County of Orange landfill tipping fee.

The proposed rates for FY 2025–2026 incorporate, in addition to the standard annual PPI-based adjustments, a one-time adjustment to the collection component to address a structural difference in multi-family service pricing. This adjustment has been reviewed and verified by the City’s rate consultant, EcoNomics, Inc. To recover the increased costs of providing Solid Waste Service as described above, the City has determined that it is necessary to increase the rates for the Solid Waste Service it imposes on its customers.

PROPOSED SOLID WASTE SERVICE CHARGES
The rate structure for Solid Waste Service has two customer classes — residential and commercial (which includes multi-family and industrial customers). CR&R bills single-family residential customers monthly for cart service and bills multi-family and commercial customers monthly for bin service. Singlefamily residential customers and some multi-family residential customers receive a set of carts for refuse, recycling, and organic waste. For residential customers subscribing to cart service, the rates for Solid Waste Service are calculated based on a complete set of Solid Waste Containers (i.e., refuse, recyclable materials, and organic waste), with additional charges for additional carts requested. For multi-family residential and commercial customers, the rates for Solid Waste Service are calculated on: the basis of the size (in cubic yards) of the Solid Waste containers; the type of material collected in the container (refuse, recyclable materials, or organic waste); and the number of pick-ups per week.

Attachment 1
7 7 of 112
If adopted, the proposed maximum Solid Waste Service rates in the attached Exhibit “A” will take effect beginning July 1, 2026, subject to the Annual Adjustments described below.

Annual Adjustments
• PPI — Collection and Processing Component: Beginning July 1, 2027, and each July 1 thereafter for the remaining term of the Agreement, the collection and processing components of the Solid Waste Service Charges shall be adjusted by the annual percentage change (January–December) in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods Less Food & Energy (WPUFD4131), not to exceed 5% per annum; if the index is negative, the adjustment shall be set to zero. • PPI — Fuel Sub-Component: The fuel sub-component of the collection component shall be adjusted by the annual percentage change in the Producer Price Index for Natural Gas (WPU0531), subject to a cap of ±25% per annum.
• Disposal (Tip Fee) Adjustment: The disposal component shall be adjusted annually to reflect the actual change in the Orange County landfill tipping fee charged by the County of Orange. • No Further Public Hearing Required: If the rate adjustments described above are approved, a written notice of each annual adjustment will be mailed to all parties subject to the adjustment not less than 30 days prior to the effective date. In no event may an automatic increase cause the rates to exceed the City’s actual cost of providing Solid Waste Service.

PUBLIC HEARING AND PROTESTS
Any property owner or any tenant (i.e., a customer of record) directly responsible for the payment of Solid Waste Service Charges may submit a written protest to the proposed rate increases to the City’s Solid Waste Service Charges; provided, however, only one written protest will be counted per identified parcel.

Any written protest must: (1) state that the identified property owner or tenant is in opposition to the proposed rate increases to the Solid Waste Service Charges; (2) provide the location of the identified parcel (by street address or assessor’s parcel number); and (3) include the name and signature of the property owner or tenant submitting the protest. Written protests may be submitted by mail or in person to the City Clerk at 505 Forest Avenue, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, or at the Public Hearing (date and time noted above), provided they are received prior to the close of the public comment portion of the Public Hearing, which will occur when the public testimony on the proposed increases and adjustments is concluded. Any protest submitted via e-mail or other electronic means will not be accepted. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any written protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the City Clerk, “Attn: Public Hearing on Solid Waste Rate Increases.” IF YOU DO NOT OBJECT TO THE ADJUSTMENTS, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED.

The City Council will hear and consider all written protests and oral comments on the proposed rate increases at the Public Hearing. Oral comments at the Public Hearing will not qualify as formal protests; only a written protest will count for the purposes of determining whether a majority protest exists. Upon the conclusion of the Public Hearing, if written protests against the proposed rate increases to the Solid Waste Service Charges as outlined above are not presented by a majority of property owners of the identified parcels, the City Council will be authorized to adopt the rate increases.

This protest hearing is being conducted in accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution (also referred to as Proposition 218). Please note that a rate protest proceeding is not an election. To ensure transparency and accountability in the rate protest tabulation, protests shall constitute a disclosable public record from and after the time they are received. The City is conducting this Proposition 218 majority protest proceeding out of an abundance of caution and without conceding the applicability of Proposition 218 to Solid Waste Service.

For further details or questions regarding the basis and reasons for the proposed rate increases to the City’s Solid Waste Service Charges, please contact the City at (949) 497-0711 or by email at [email protected]. For any questions you may have regarding your customer classification, please contact CR&R at (949) 662-3819.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

CONCERNING PROPOSED INCREASES TO SOLID WASTE

SERVICE CHARGES
Because the City anticipates future increases in the cost of providing Solid Waste Service that CR&R will charge pursuant to the Agreement, the City is also proposing to annually adjust the maximum rates for: (1) the collection component based on the annual percentage change (January-December) in the Producer Price Index (PPI), (2) the fuel sub-component based on the annual percentage change (January-December) in the PPI, (3) changes in landfill disposal costs associated with WISE, and (4) changes in the City's regulatory compliance costs (collectively, the Annual Automatic Adjustments). If approved, beginning July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter for a five-year period, through and including adjustments effective on or after July 1, 2030, the rates for Solid Waste Services may be adjusted annually, without a further public hearing. In no event may an automatic increase exceed the City's cost of providing Solid Waste Services. If the adjustments are approved, a written notice will be mailed to all parties subject to future annual rate adjustments not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of the adjustment.
505 Forest Avenue
Laguna Beach, CA 92651
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Laguna Beach (the “City”) will conduct a Public FUTURE RATE INCREASES Hearing on June 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 505 Forest Avenue, Laguna Beach, California, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, to consider adopting increases to the current rates for Solid Waste Service. If approved, the proposed maximum rates will take effect July 1, 2026.

The proposed rate increases reflect increased landfill disposal costs associated with the Waste Infrastructure System Enhancement (WISE) agreement, annual contractual inflationary adjustments tied to the Producer Price Index, and a one-time adjustment to the collection component to address the decrease in revenue associated with re-pricing 2-8 unit properties as residential and billing on the number of carts (4.4% for residential and 5.2% for commercial). Below are the most common service levels in the City. For one-time on call services or other unique service requests, please scan the QR Code or visit the city’s website at www.lagunabeachcity.net/recycling for detailed rates.

PUBLIC HEARING AND PROTESTS Any property owner or tenant of a parcel subject to the proposed rate increase may submit a written protest. Written protests must include an original signature and identify the affected parcel, such as by service address or Assessor’s Parcel Number. Written protests must be received by the City Clerk before the close of the public hearing and may be submitted by mail or delivered in person to 505 Forest Avenue, Laguna Beach, CA 92651. Only one written protest per identified parcel will be counted. Protests submitted by e-mail or other electronic means will not be accepted. Further information can be found via the QR Code or visit

Attn: Public hearing on proposed Solid Waste increases June 23, 2026 Re: APN 934-23-055
Subject: Opposition to Proposed Increases and Adjustments to Solid Waste Service Charges Dear Mr. McAvoy,
We are writing to formally oppose the proposed increases and adjustments to solid waste service charges received on May 11, 2026. I request that the proposed changes to our solid waste fees be denied for the reasons outlined below.

1. lnsufficient justification

2. No demonstrated improvement in service or value

3. Short notice of proposed rate increase

4. Equity and affordability concerns

5. Alternatives and benchmarking not addressed

6. Requested action, deny rate increase.

Please confirm receipt of my opposition by email or in writing. We are available to attend public meetings and review support materials.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Jerry & Gwen Myers
