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.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:

June 23, 2026

CONSENT
5 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 May 9, 2026, and May 22, 2026. Total disbursements issued during this period was $10,115,497.86.

DISCUSSION
• Check numbers 23012677, 23012694, and 23012856 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.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:

June 23, 2026

CONSENT
6 SUBJECT: LAGUNA ART MUSEUM “ART AND NATURE” TEMPORARY PUBLIC ART RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the temporary public art entitled “A Flag Walk for Our Future” by artist Kim Manfredi; and

2. Find that the action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
On April 27, 2026, the Arts Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve a temporary installation curated by the Laguna Art Museum (“Museum”) at Heisler and Main Beach Parks for its 14th annual “Art and Nature” exhibition from November 5 through November 9, 2026. (See Minutes, Attachment 1.) The Arts Commission is seeking City Council approval of the art created by artist Kim Manfredi entitled “A Flag Walk for Our Future.”

DISCUSSION
For the past fourteen years the Museum has presented various installations and activations at Main Beach or within close proximity as part of its annual programming “Art and Nature.” For 2026, the Museum has planned a temporary public art installation by artist Kim Manfredi at four locations at Heisler and Main Beach Parks. (See Attachment 2). Each site will consist of the installation of four flags which are designed to explore the intersection of art and place in a site-specific context. They also symbolize a twenty-fourhour cycle; dawn, day, dusk and night.

If the City Council approves the art, the Museum will initiate a Temporary Use Permit application for art shows as contemplated by Laguna Beach Municipal Code Section 25.05.035(B)(2)(a) for its 14th annual “Art and Nature” exhibition from November 5 through November 9, 2026 at and around Heisler and Main Beach Parks.

In addition to the art, the Museum also intends to install signage mounted on a 6’ tall metal signposts with 28”x24” aluminum signs affixed at the Main Beach location and six other positions along Heisler Park with information to enhance community engagement. (Attachment 2.) At this time, City staff anticipates that such proposal qualifies for a Coastal Development Permit exemption, as a temporary event on beach area, under Laguna Beach Municipal Code Section 25.07.008(A)(6) but City staff will complete its review and analysis upon submittal of an application.

The Cultural Arts Department facilitated a meeting of Staff from the Marine Safety, Police, Public Works, Community Development and Community Services with the Museum and the artist to discuss the proposal to assist the Museum is facilitating its project and information on any additional required approvals. 1 of 62
LAGUNA ART MUSEUM “ART AND NATURE” TEMPORARY PUBLIC ART June 23, 2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action has no financial impact, as it will be funded by the Museum.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Here, the recommended action meets the exemption because it involves approval of art which is proposed to be installed on a temporary basis at and around Heisler and Main Beach Parks. It also contemplates installation of minor structures relating to the art to facilitate community engagement with the art at Main Beach and Heisler Park. Upon taking the recommended action, City staff will cause to be filed within five calendar days a notice of exemption with the County and State Clearinghouse.

7 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT FOR LANDSCAPE

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

1. Authorize the City Manager to amend Agreement No. 20-120 with Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc., to extend the term of the agreement through October 31, 2026, and to add an additional $70,000 for services performed from July 1, 2026, through October 31, 2026; and

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
On September 22, 2020, the City Council awarded Agreement No. 20-120 to Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. (Parkwood), for routine landscape maintenance services citywide (Attachment 1). The current agreement is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026, and includes an annual cost not-to-exceed $198,500 for services performed during Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Staff is preparing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new citywide landscape maintenance services contract anticipated to begin on November 1, 2026. To ensure continuity of service during the procurement process, staff recommend extending the current agreement through October 31, 2026, and increasing the contract amount by $70,000.

DISCUSSION
Parkwood currently provides routine landscape maintenance services at 24 city-owned facilities, including City parks, public facilities, parking lots, and streetscapes. The annual cost of these services is $198,500 and the current agreement is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026. Staff is preparing to issue a new RFP solicitation to award a new contract for comprehensive landscape maintenance services citywide, with new services to begin on November 1, 2026.

In order to continue providing uninterrupted landscape maintenance services, an amendment is needed to extend the term of the current agreement by four months through October 31, 2026, and to add an additional $70,000 to cover the costs for these services. Parkwood has agreed to maintain the existing contract unit costs and not request any price increases for the duration of the proposed contract amendment.

On September 22, 2020, the City Council awarded Agreement No. 20-120 to Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. for routine landscape maintenance services throughout the City. Parkwood currently provides landscape maintenance services at 24 City-owned facilities, including parks, public facilities, parking lots, and streetscapes.

AMENDMENT TO SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT FOR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE

SERVICES
June 23, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

The agreement has been amended periodically to maintain continuity of services while staff prepare for a new competitive procurement process. Recent contract actions are summarized below:

Amendment Approval Date Purpose
Original Agreement No. 20-12 September 22, 2020 Award of the landscape maintenance services contract
Amendment No. 4 October 2025
Extended term through June 30,
2026, and added $138,330 for
continued services
Amendment No. 5 (Proposed) June 23, 2026
Extend term through October 31,
2026, and add $70,000 for
continued services
Staff is currently preparing an RFP for comprehensive citywide landscape maintenance services. Due to the time required to develop the scope of services, conduct the solicitation process, evaluate proposals, negotiate contract terms, and obtain City Council approval, additional time is needed to complete the procurement process and transition services to a new contract.

Therefore, staff recommends extending the current agreement through October 31, 2026, and increasing the contract amount by $70,000. This extension will ensure uninterrupted landscape maintenance services while allowing staff to complete the competitive procurement process and return to the City Council with a recommendation for a new contract.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment will increase Agreement No. 20-120 by $70,000 to provide landscape maintenance services from July 1, 2026, through October 31, 2026. The additional funding will support routine landscape maintenance services at City parks, public facilities, parking lots, and streetscapes during the four-month extension period. The proposed compensation is based on existing contract unit prices, and Parkwood has agreed to maintain current rates without adjustment. The total compensation for Agreement No. 20-120, inclusive of all executed and proposed amendments, is $975,955.

Funding for the amendment is included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget within the Public Works operating budget. No additional appropriations are required.

ALIGNMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
The recommended action supports the City Council's Strategic Priority of Stewardship by ensuring continued maintenance of City parks, public facilities, landscaped medians, and other public spaces.

Maintaining these assets enhances the appearance, safety, and usability of public infrastructure while preserving community character and supporting quality municipal services.

The recommended action consists of organizational or administrative activities of the City that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and therefore does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act.

CONSENT
8 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT FOR DAY PORTER

AND SIDEWALK CLEANING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 5 to Agreement No. 20-121 with Spectrum Facility Maintenance to extend the agreement term through June 30, 2027, and increase the contract amount by $1,104,628 for continued day porter and sidewalk cleaning services; and

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
On September 22, 2020, the City Council awarded Agreement No. 20-121 to Spectrum Facility Maintenance (Spectrum), for day porter and sidewalk cleaning services at various high-traffic visitor locations citywide (Attachment 1). The current agreement is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026.

This report recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 5 to Agreement No. 20-121 to extend the agreement through June 30, 2027, and increase the contract amount by $1,104,628 to ensure the continued provision of these services without interruption. Spectrum has agreed to maintain existing contract pricing during the extension period. The total not to exceed amount for this Agreement, inclusive of all amendments is $5,692,396.

DISCUSSION
Spectrum currently provides daily day porter services year-round within downtown, Main Beach Park, Heisler Park, Aliso Beach Park, Thousand Steps, and other South Laguna beach areas. Day porter services are provided between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. and include litter collection, restroom cleaning and restocking, and trash receptacle servicing. In addition, the current contract also provides for routine sidewalk cleaning services within downtown, and several sections of Coast Highway, including Coast Highway from Cliff Drive to Pearl Street, and Coast Highway from Catalina Avenue to 5th Avenue.

Spectrum has provided these services for the City since 2020 and has consistently met the operational needs of the City's high-traffic visitor-serving areas. These services are essential to maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming public spaces for residents and visitors and help preserve the condition and appearance of the City's beaches, parks, sidewalks, and public facilities.

The current agreement expires on June 30, 2026. This report recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 5 to Agreement No. 20-121 to extend the agreement through June 30, 2027, and increase the contract amount by $1,104,628 to ensure the continued provision of these services without interruption.

Spectrum has agreed to maintain existing contract pricing during the extension period and has not requested 1 of 156

CLEANING SERVICES

any rate increases. Maintaining current pricing will allow the City to continue receiving the same level of service while avoiding additional costs during Fiscal Year 2026-27.

The proposed one-year extension will also provide staff with sufficient time to evaluate current service levels and operational needs, review opportunities for service enhancements and efficiencies, and prepare updated procurement documents for a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Given the importance and visibility of these services, staff believes it is prudent to conduct a comprehensive review of the scope of work to ensure future service requirements, performance expectations, and pricing structures accurately reflect the City's needs and operational objectives.

During the extension period, staff intends to prepare and issue a competitive solicitation for day porter and sidewalk cleaning services. The solicitation process will provide the City an opportunity to evaluate market conditions, service delivery approaches, contractor qualifications, and pricing to help ensure the City continues to receive high-quality services at competitive rates following the expiration of the proposed extension on June 30, 2027.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment will increase Agreement No. 20-121 by $1,104,628 for services through June 30, 2027. The Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget includes funding for the contracted services, and no additional appropriations are required for the recommended action.

ALIGNMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
The recommended action supports the City Council's Stewardship priority by ensuring the continued maintenance, cleanliness, and functionality of public facilities, beaches, parks, sidewalks, and visitorserving areas throughout the City. Continued day porter and sidewalk cleaning services help preserve public assets, enhance the visitor experience, and maintain community standards.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action consists of organizational or administrative activities of the City that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and therefore does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). (Public Resources Code Section 21065; CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).) Contracting for routine litter collection, restroom cleaning and restocking, and trash receptacle servicing will not result in any physical change in the environment and thus does not constitute a “project.”

DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

2. Receive and file the Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District Fiscal Year 2026/27 Annual Report submitted pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 36650; and

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
This report recommends that the City Council receive and file the Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District (LBTMD) Fiscal Year 2024/25 Annual Report and the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Annual Report submitted pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 36650.

On June 10, 2025, the City Council approved the renewed Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District Management District Plan. The Management District Plan included the information required under California Streets and Highways Code Section 36650 for Fiscal Year 2025/26, including the proposed improvements, activities, budget, and assessment methodology for the first year of the renewed district term. As a result, a separate Fiscal Year 2025/26 Annual Report was not presented to the City Council.

The Fiscal Year 2024/25 Annual Report summarizes district accomplishments and activities completed during the reporting period, while the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Annual Report outlines the proposed programs, assessment revenues, budget allocations, and district activities for the upcoming fiscal year. The recommended action does not approve any changes to district boundaries, assessment methodology, or City funding. Receipt and filing of the reports provides transparency regarding the use of district assessment revenues and the programs funded through the LBTMD.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District (LBTMD) was established to fund programs and activities that promote overnight visitation, support assessed lodging businesses, and enhance Laguna Beach's position as a premier visitor destination. The district is funded through assessments collected from lodging businesses located within the City and is administered by Visit Laguna Beach, which serves as the Owners' Association.

Pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 36650, the Owners' Association is required to prepare and submit annual reports describing the district's activities, improvements, budget, and assessment methodology. The reports submitted for City Council consideration include the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Annual Report and the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Annual Report.
2024/25 Accomplishments
The 2024/25 Annual Report summarizes activities undertaken by Visit Laguna Beach and its partners to promote overnight visitation, support local lodging businesses, and enhance the visitor experience. Major accomplishments during the reporting period included destination stewardship initiatives, marketing programs, tourism research, community partnerships, and visitor-serving programs. The report also confirms that no changes are proposed to the district boundaries and that the district continues to encompass all lodging businesses within the City of Laguna Beach.

Program Area Purpose
Laguna College of Art + Design Programs Arts-related programs and activities that contribute to Laguna Beach's reputation as an arts destination.

Cultural Arts Funding Grants
Financial support for nonprofit arts organizations that provide events, exhibits, and cultural programming
that enhance visitation and community engagement.

The report notes that there are no proposed changes to district boundaries and that activities remain consistent with the Management District Plan. The report further identifies continued investments in destination stewardship, visitor services, cultural programming, and tourism promotion designed to increase overnight visitation and support local lodging businesses.

Oversight and Accountability
The adopted Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District Management District Plan includes several accountability measures designed to provide ongoing oversight of Tourism Marketing District expenditures.

The Plan requires the establishment of a Cultural and Environmental Stewardship Committee to provide feedback and recommendations regarding the use of funds within the Cultural and Environmental Stewardship category in 2026-27. The Committee may include City representatives, City Councilmembers, lodging operators, local business representatives, and individuals with expertise in cultural, environmental, and community stewardship matters.

The Management District Plan also requires a biennial performance review beginning in Fiscal Year 2026-

27. The review will be conducted by a joint committee of City staff and Visit Laguna Beach representatives and will evaluate program effectiveness, with a particular focus on Cultural and Environmental Stewardship initiatives. Findings and recommendations will be presented to both the Visit Laguna Beach Board of Directors and the City Council as part of the annual reporting process.

EVOLUTION OF THE ANNUAL REPORTING PROCESS
The City Council is receiving two annual reports that serve different purposes. The 2024/25 Annual Report primarily serves as a retrospective report, summarizing district accomplishments, marketing activities, stewardship efforts, cultural programming, and financial performance during the completed fiscal year. The report provides accountability regarding how assessment revenues were utilized and highlights outcomes achieved during the reporting period.

The 2026/27 Annual Report reflects the structure contemplated under the renewed Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District Management District Plan and is intended to serve as a forward-looking implementation document. In addition to satisfying the annual reporting requirements of Streets and Highways Code Section 36650, the report identifies proposed programs, activities, funding allocations, and budget assumptions for the upcoming fiscal year.

Page 5 of 5 ends

This updated approach provides several advantages. First, it allows Visit Laguna Beach and the City to review proposed program allocations and funding priorities before implementation of the upcoming fiscal year. Second, it creates greater transparency regarding how assessment revenues are proposed to be spent.

Finally, it provides a mechanism for the Visit Laguna Beach Board of Directors and the City to consider adjustments authorized under the Management District Plan before the beginning of a fiscal year while maintaining consistency with the district's approved purposes and benefit structure. As a result, future annual reports are expected to follow the format of the 2026/27 Annual Report, focusing on upcoming programs, proposed expenditures, and implementation priorities for the following fiscal year, while continuing to provide financial reporting on prior-year activities as required by law.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receiving and filing these reports. The activities described within the reports are funded through LBTMD assessment revenues collected from lodging businesses within the district and administered in accordance with the approved Management District Plan. Receipt of the reports does not authorize additional City expenditures or appropriations.

ALIGNMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
This item supports the City Council's Strategic Priority of Stewardship by promoting responsible tourism management, destination stewardship, cultural programming, and economic vitality. The reports also support ongoing collaboration between the City, Visit Laguna Beach, and local cultural organizations to enhance the visitor experience, improve overnight stays, while protecting community character and natural resources.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because the action consists solely of receiving and filing informational reports and does not constitute a project that may result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The reports do not authorize construction, capital improvements, or any other activity that could result in environmental impacts.

Asse ssm e nt There is no change in the method and basis of levying the assessment.

The term “gross room rental revenue” as used herein means: the consideration charged, and received, for the occupancy of space in a lodging business valued in money, whether to be received in money, goods, labor or otherwise, including all receipts, cash, credits and property and services of any kind or nature, without any deduction therefrom whatsoever. Gross room rental revenue may have been, or may be, payable or paid prior to or following the occupancy to which it is attributable, and may have been paid in whole or in part in advance on a long-term basis such as in the purchase of a time-share unit or similar arrangement. Gross short-term room rental includes the purchase price of a time-share unit. Gross room rental revenue shall not include any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to transient occupancy taxes.

The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed lodging business. However, the assessed lodging business may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to transients. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. If the LBTMD assessment is identified separately it shall be disclosed as the “LBTMD Assessment.” As an alternative, the disclosure may include the amount of the LBTMD assessment and the amount of the assessment imposed pursuant to the California Tourism Marketing Act, Government Code §13995 et seq. and shall be disclosed as the “Tourism Assessment.” The assessment is imposed solely upon, and is the sole obligation of the assessed lodging business even if it is passed on to transients. The assessment shall not be considered revenue for any purpose, including calculation of transient occupancy taxes.

Bonds shall not be issued.

Penalties and Interest
The LBTMD shall reimburse the City of Laguna Beach for any costs associated with collecting unpaid assessments. If sums in excess of the delinquent LBTMD assessment are sought to be recovered in the same collection action by the City, the LBTMD shall bear its pro rata share of such collection costs. Assessed businesses which are delinquent in paying the assessment shall be responsible for paying:
23 23 of 196
Laguna Be ach Tourism Marke ting District
2024/25 Annual Re port 19

1. Original Delinquency
Any lodging business who fails to remit any assessment within the time required shall pay a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment.

2. Continued Delinquency
Any lodging business who fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) penalty first imposed.

3. Fraud
If the City determines that the nonpayment of any remittance due under this chapter is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the penalties stated in subsections (1) and (2) of this section.

4. Interest
In addition to the penalties imposed, any lodging business who fails to remit any assessment imposed by this chapter shall pay interest at the rate of one-half of one percent (0.50%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid.

5. Penalties Merged with Assessment
Every penalty imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this section shall become a part of the assessment herein required to be paid

6. Failure to Collect and Report Assessment
If any lodging business shall fail or refuse to collect said assessment and to make, within the time provided in this section, any report and remittance of the assessment or any portion thereof required by this section, the City shall proceed in such manner as they may deem best to obtain facts and information on which to base their estimate of the assessment due. As soon as the City shall procure such facts and information as they are able to obtain upon which to base the assessment of any assessment imposed by this section and payable by any lodging business who has failed or refused to collect the same and to make such report and remittance, they shall proceed to determine and assess against such lodging business the assessment, interest and penalties provided for by this section. In case such determination is made, the City shall give a notice of the amount so assessed by serving it personally or by depositing it in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the lodging business so assessed at their last known place of address. Such lodging business may within ten (10) days after the serving or mailing of such notice make application in writing to 24 24 of 196
Laguna Be ach Tourism Marke ting District
2024/25 Annual Re port 20
the City for a hearing on the amount assessed. If application by the lodging business for a hearing is not made within the time prescribed, the assessment, interest and penalties, if any, determined by the City shall become final and conclusive and immediately due and payable. If such application is made, the City shall give not less than five (5) days’ written notice in the manner prescribed herein to the lodging business to show cause at a time and place fixed in said notice why the amount specified therein should be not be fixed for such assessment, interest and penalties.

At such hearing, the lodging business owner or representative may appear and offer evidence why such specified assessment, interest and penalties should not be so fixed.

After such hearing, the City shall determine the proper assessment to be remitted and shall thereafter give written notice to the person in the manner prescribed herein of such determination and the amount of such assessment, interest and penalties. The amount determined to be due shall be payable after fifteen (15) days unless an appeal is taken.

Program Detail
FY 2026/27 Partner Program Highlights
Cultural and Environmental Stewardship — FY 2026/27
The Cultural and Environmental Stewardship category is funded at $750,000 for FY 2026/27 and is administered in two portions. Pursuant to the Management District Plan, $500,000 is contributed to the City’s Cultural and Environmental Stewardship Special Revenue Fund — the Year Two contribution level, increased from $260,000 in FY 2025/26 — and $250,000 is administered by Visit Laguna Beach.

The City of Laguna Beach was incorporated on June 29, 1927, and will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2027. Because the fiscal year leads directly into this milestone, a focus of the FY 2026/27 Cultural and Environmental Stewardship program is support for the City’s Centennial.

Funds are anticipated to support centennial programming that commemorates the city’s history, celebrates its enduring identity as a coastal arts colony, and draws overnight visitors to lodging businesses throughout the anniversary year.

Anticipated centennial-related activities for FY 2026/27 may include commemorative events and public celebrations; arts, cultural, and educational programming highlighting the centennial; destination beautification and enhancements timed to the anniversary; and marketing and promotion that position the centennial as a draw for overnight stays. Specific projects and events are subject to the criteria developed jointly by Visit Laguna Beach and the City.

Funds are anticipated to support marketing, advertising, production, and box office operations that bring overnight visitors to Laguna Beach.

Assessment
There is no change in the method and basis of levying the assessment.

Assessment
The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on: stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays by any federal or State of California officer or employee when on official business; and stays by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty. 38 38 of 196
Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District Page 13
2026/27 Annual Report, Prepare by Visit Laguna Beach
The term “gross room rental revenue” as used herein means the consideration charged, and received, for the occupancy of space in a lodging business valued in money, whether to be received in money, goods, labor, or otherwise, including all receipts, cash, credits, and property and services of any kind or nature, without any deduction therefrom whatsoever. Gross room rental revenue shall not include any federal, state, or local taxes collected, including but not limited to transient occupancy taxes.

The assessment is levied upon and is a direct obligation of the assessed lodging business.

However, the assessed lodging business may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to transients. If passed on to each transient, the amount of assessment shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment. The assessment shall not be considered revenue for any purpose, including calculation of transient occupancy taxes.

Bonds shall not be issued.

Penalties and Interest
The LBTMD shall reimburse the City of Laguna Beach for any costs associated with collecting unpaid assessments. If sums in excess of the delinquent LBTMD assessment are sought to be recovered in the same collection action by the City, the LBTMD shall bear its pro-rata share of such collection costs. Assessed businesses which are delinquent in paying the assessment shall be responsible for paying penalties and interest as follows:

1. Original Delinquency. Any lodging business that fails to remit any assessment within the time required shall pay a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment.

2. Continued Delinquency. Any lodging business that fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) penalty first imposed.

3. Fraud. If the City determines that the nonpayment of any remittance is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added in addition to the penalties stated above.

4. Interest. In addition to the penalties imposed, any lodging business that fails to remit any assessment shall pay interest at the rate of one-half of one percent (0.50%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid.

5. Penalties Merged with Assessment. Every penalty imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this section shall become a part of the assessment herein required to be paid.

6. Failure to Collect and Report Assessment. If any lodging business shall fail or refuse to collect said assessment and to make, within the time provided in this section, any report and remittance of the assessment or any portion thereof required by this section, the City shall proceed in such manner as they may deem best to obtain facts and information on which to 39 39 of 196
Laguna Beach Tourism Marketing District Page 14
2026/27 Annual Report, Prepare by Visit Laguna Beach
base their estimate of the assessment due. As soon as the City shall procure such facts and information as they are able to obtain upon which to base the assessment of any assessment imposed by this section and payable by any lodging business who has failed or refused to collect the same and to make such report and remittance, they shall proceed to determine and assess against such lodging business the assessment, interest and penalties provided for by this section. In case such determination is made, the City shall give a notice of the amount so assessed by serving it personally or by depositing it in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the lodging business so assessed at their last known place of address.

Such lodging business may within ten (10) days after the serving or mailing of such notice make application in writing to the City for a hearing on the amount assessed. If application by the lodging business for a hearing is not made within the time prescribed, the assessment, interest and penalties, if any, determined by the City shall become final and conclusive and immediately due and payable. If such application is made, the City shall give not less than five (5) days’ written notice in the manner prescribed herein to the lodging business to show cause at a time and place fixed in said notice why the amount specified therein should be not be fixed for such assessment, interest and penalties. At such hearing, the lodging business owner or representative may appear and offer evidence why such specified assessment, interest and penalties should not be so fixed. After such hearing, the City shall determine the proper assessment to be remitted and shall thereafter give written notice to the person in the manner prescribed herein of such determination and the amount of such assessment, interest and penalties. The amount determined to be due shall be payable after fifteen (15) days unless an appeal is taken.

Surplus and Other Funding
Surplus
The estimated amount of surplus to be carried over from the previous fiscal year into FY 2026/27 is approximately $88,700, allocated to the Sales, Marketing & Communications program.

Other Funding
The estimated amount of contributions to be made from sources other than LBTMD assessments is approximately $5,000, consisting of projected interest income earned by Visit Laguna Beach 40 40 of 196

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:

June 23, 2026

CONSENT
10 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT FOR EMPLOYER BENEFIT BROKER SERVICES RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

2. Find that the recommended action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
.This report recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Consultant Services Agreement with The Baldwin Group (formerly operating as Burnham Benefits Insurance Services) ("Consultant" or "Baldwin") for employee benefits brokerage services.

The City has contracted with Baldwin continuously since February 1, 2021 to market, negotiate, and implement employee benefit programs. The original Agreement expired on December 31, 2023; however, Baldwin continued providing brokerage services without interruption, and the City continued to rely on those services for administration of its employee benefit programs. Baldwin provided these services in a satisfactory manner.

Amendment No. 1 ratifies and confirms brokerage services provided during calendar years 2024 and 2025 and extends the Agreement through December 31, 2026 to ensure continuity of service while staff prepares and conducts a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process in 2027.

Compensation under the Agreement is capped at $75,000 annually. Amendment No. 1 authorizes compensation not to exceed $150,000 for services previously rendered in 2024 and 2025, and authorizes an additional $75,000 for services to be provided in 2026, for a total amendment amount not to exceed $225,000. All costs associated with the Agreement are budgeted within the City's Insurance Fund.

Therefore, no additional appropriation is required.

DISCUSSION
.Background
The City contracts with a brokerage firm to market, negotiate, and implement its employee benefit programs. The City’s employee benefits plan includes medical and dental benefits, as well as ancillary benefits such as flexible spending accounts, employee assistance programs, long-term disability, life insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment coverage. 1 of 210

AMENDMENT FOR EMPLOYER BENEFIT BROKER SERVICES
June 23, 2026

Page 2 of 4 ends

Following a competitive RFP process conducted in 2020, in which four firms responded and were evaluated by a panel that included representatives from the Laguna Beach Municipal Employees’ Association, the Laguna Beach Firefighters’ Association, the Laguna Beach Police and Fire Management Association, and the City’s Human Resources Division, the City Council, on January 26, 2021, authorized the City Manager to execute a Consultant Services Agreement with Burnham Benefits Insurance Services for the period of February 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $75,000 annually, with an option to extend for one additional year. Burnham Benefits Insurance Services has since been acquired by and now operates as The Baldwin Group.

Contract Continuation
The original term of the Agreement expired on December 31, 2023. Although the formal term lapsed, the Consultant continued to provide brokerage services to the City without interruption, and the City continued to rely on those services for the administration of its employee benefit programs. During a recent review of contract records, staff identified that the formal agreement extension had not been brought forward for Council consideration. While services continued uninterrupted and compensation remained within historical levels, a formal amendment is necessary to ratify prior services and extend the agreement term.

Amendment No. 1 ratifies and confirms all brokerage services provided since December 31, 2023. The amendment further confirms that all terms and conditions of the original agreement, including insurance requirements, confidentiality provisions, and indemnification obligations, remained applicable during this period. Amendment No. 1 also extends the term of the Agreement through December 31, 2026 so that benefits administration may continue without disruption through the current calendar year. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 in a form substantially similar to Attachment 1.

Future Procurement/RFP
Staff intends to conduct a competitive Request for Proposals process in early 2027 for employee benefits brokerage and administration services. Conducting a new procurement process will provide an opportunity to evaluate service offerings, compensation structures, technology solutions, and market conditions to ensure the City continues receiving high-quality brokerage services at a competitive cost. Approval of Amendment No. 1 provides continuity of operations while allowing sufficient time to conduct a comprehensive and transparent procurement process.

To provide additional flexibility, staff is also requesting authority for the City Manager to extend the Agreement for up to one additional year, through December 31, 2027, if necessary. While staff anticipates completing the competitive procurement process in 2027, unforeseen circumstances could delay the solicitation, evaluation, contract negotiations, transition to a new service provider, or other implementation activities. Authorizing a one-year extension would ensure continuity and avoid any disruption to the program.

The following timeline summarizes the key events:

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The City does not pay the broker directly. Broker compensation consists of quarterly commissions that the insurance carriers build into the City's benefit plan premiums and remit to the broker, so the cost is embedded in premiums the City already pays through its Insurance Fund. Amendment No. 1 establishes a not-to-exceed cap of $150,000 for services rendered from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025.

Combined with the $75,000 not-to-exceed amount under the original Agreement, total compensation under the Agreement and Amendment No. 1 shall not exceed $225,000.

Period Not-to-Exceed Compensation
2024 (ratification) $75,000
2025 (ratification)) $75,000
Total under the Agreement and Amendment No. 1 $75,000
Total under the Agreement and Amendment No. 1 $225,000
All expenses associated with the service agreement are budgeted within the City’s Insurance Fund.

Therefore, no additional appropriation is necessary as a result of this action.

ALIGNMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
The recommended action supports the City Council's Fiscal Sustainability Strategic Priority by ensuring continuity of professional employee benefits brokerage services, maintaining effective risk management 3 of 210

practices, and supporting efficient administration of employee benefit programs while staff conducts a competitive procurement process.

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.” Section 15378 defines a project as an activity that may cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The recommended action involves approval of an amendment to a consultant services agreement for employee benefits brokerage services — an administrative activity that does not commit the City to any specific development proposal and does not authorize any physical change to the environment. No further environmental review is required.

MJ Abraham, founder of lagunabeachchat.com, which she stated promotes accountability and transparency, submitted that the Council makes decisions that impact people’s daily lives. Ms. Abraham requested that the Council acknowledge that a substantial number of Laguna Beach citizens want an open recruitment for the selection of the City’s top administrator, using a search firm. She also requested that the Council consider candidates in an unbiased fashion, with an open mind. Ms. Abraham stated that the process should be fair to all applicants, and internal knowledge should not be an eliminating factor. Ms. Abraham stated that a thorough investigation of all candidates should be conducted, specifically to identify instances of misuse of funds or employee harassment. She suggested that an employee satisfaction survey be conducted, and a resident survey to determine the professional qualifications and attributes the public would like to see in the next City Manager. Ms. Abraham thanked City Manager John Pietig for his 20 years of public service and reiterated that the Council has a big responsibility.

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
*****************************
Ann Christoph submitted that there needs to be changes in how remote meetings are conducted to address disadvantages. She suggested that the Council ask questions of speakers when testimony is disputed. Ms. Christoph noted that the public is limited to three minutes, but staff is not. She stated that the public used to be able to wave their arms, give a thumbs down, etc., to express their views, but with the current Zoom format, there are no similar opportunities. Ms.

Christoph also noted an issue with the public presenting their own visual aids. Ms. Christoph explained that she had to submit the presentation she planned to provide at a Design Review Board meeting early, and that presentation was circulated internally, leading staff to write a memo to the Board ahead of the meeting, disputing points in her presentation. Ms. Christoph stated that she did not receive a copy of that memo despite requesting it. She suggested letting the public know how they can show their presentations, and direct staff to treat such information as confidential until it is presented. She also suggested having speakers from the public shown on the screen.

Michèle Monda referenced a recent article published in the Laguna Beach Independent on Assistant City Manager Shohreh Dupuis’ bid to be Laguna Beach’s next City Manager. She suggested that the City conduct a satisfaction survey for City employees, and she stated that she requested two years ago that departing employees receive an exit interview to determine causes behind rumors of unrest. Ms. Monda asserted that it is incumbent on the City Council to find out what issues exist to ensure the incoming City Manager knows what needs to be addressed. Ms.

Monda advocated for an open, transparent, nationwide search. She stated that the City pays an attractive amount and therefore should attract the best and brightest. Ms. Monda stated that outside candidates would bring fresh new ideas. She stated that candidates should be good with people and responsive. Ms. Monda stated that she is thrilled with the selection of the highly qualified new Police Chief, and noted that the City also hired outside to fill the Fire Chief position and the Director of Community Development position, so questioned why the City would not seek outside candidates for the top position in the City. Ms. Monda referenced a poll conducted on the NextDoor social media platform that showed that 77% of respondents support an open recruitment for the City Manager position, and she requested that the Council listen to residents.

Johanna Felder stated that she wants to participate in the process to select the best candidate for City Manager, one with vision and creativity. She recommended a robust search for the most qualified person that involves staff and community participation.

Anne Caenn encouraged the City Council to find the best candidate for City Manager. She suggested developing a detailed job description to reflect the needs of this unique town with its unique issues.

Trish Sweeney asserted that the need for an open recruitment is clear. She stated that the general public has not been included in past processes, which has caused mistrust in the process. Ms.

Sweeney supported a transparent process and an open recruitment. She stated that Laguna Beach deserves to recruit the best of the best.

Joy Dittberner, Executive Director of the Laguna Dance Festival, thanked the Council for all that it has done during these difficult times.

COUNCIL AND STAFF REPORTS
*******************************
Mayor Pro Tem Sue Kempf advised that LOCA is having an online auction this weekend to support local arts education programs. For more information, visit www.32auctions.com/loca.

Mayor Pro Tem Kempf also showed the ABC 7 “good news” piece on the current City Hall exhibition of LCAD art that captures life in the time of COVID-19.

City Manager John Pietig stated that the State’s stay-at-home order has been lifted, meaning Orange County is back in the purple tier, permitting promenade activities and outdoor dining to resume. He noted that the order was lifted because ICU availability is expected to get to the 15% level in the next few weeks; however, he encouraged everyone to remain vigilant and continue to observe safe practices to continue to slow the spread of Covid-19. Mr. Pietig noted that vaccine efforts are underway and Laguna Beach has been assisting with staffing of the SuperPODS, primarily with paramedics certified to administer the vaccines. He stated that the City is preparing to also support with administrative staff and may potentially hire part-time staff dedicated to the effort. Mr. Pietig advised that the City is hoping for cost recovery based on President Biden’s recent orders. He also stated that staff is working with senior groups to coordinate and assist with all efforts, but he noted that vaccine supply is a huge problem. On a positive note, Mr. Pietig stated that the Community Clinic is setup to start vaccinating.

Mayor Pro Tem Sue Kempf stated that she called Cody Engle, President of the Laguna Beach Seniors, to address difficulties that senior citizens and others are having with accessing the vaccine appointment sites, to hopefully provide technical assistance.

City Manager John Pietig responded that the County is experiencing the same issue at the SuperPODS with adequately assisting those that struggle with technology. He noted that the County established a telephone support line, but they are being overwhelmed. He also acknowledged the issues with the County’s Othena app, but assured that the County is working on it and the app is improving. Mr. Pietig stated that it is a great idea to work with the Laguna Beach Seniors, and he advised that the City has also been working with Nadia Babayi, Executive Director of the Laguna Beach Senior Center.

Mayor Bob Whalen suggested that Mayor Pro Tem Sue Kempf contact Sonny Myers, Director of Laguna Beach CERT, to also provide assistance.

Councilmember George Weiss noted that the Planning Commission voted 5/0 to approve Rivian’s plans for the theater. He advised that Commissioner Jorg Dubin asked about the murals, and learned that they were removed by the current owner. Councilmember Weiss advised that one mural was destroyed and one was restored. He stated that the current owner refused Rivian’s request to include the murals as part of the sale, so he suggested that the City attempt to negotiate with the owner to have the murals become City property.

Councilmember Peter Blake asserted that the “best of the best” is Shohreh Dupuis, from his experience the last two years. He stated that he looks forward to having the first female City Manager in the City’s history.

Mayor Bob Whalen noted the assistance provided by Captain Jeff Calvert to address the City’s problem with loud vehicles, and he thanked all the staff involved in crafting draft legislation. He advised that Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris has agreed to introduce the legislation, and now the City needs to get a coalition of cities to support it. Mayor Pro Tem Sue Kempf commented that Laguna Niguel would likely support the legislation, based on the digital warning signs displayed in the city, and Mayor Whalen stated that Newport Beach would also support, but cautioned that there is a strong automobile lobby group that defeated past attempts.

CONSENT
11 SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF A USE RESTRICTION AND RECEIVE AND FILE

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 Use 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

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
This report recommends that the City Manager be authorized to execute and record a Use Restriction and Agreement Regarding the Use of Property (“Use 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 Use 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 the Use 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 and as part of the Project’s approvals, this Use Restriction was a component of the Project to ensure future use of the areas does not negatively impact or vitiate the benefits and purpose of the Project.

The purpose of this staff report is to address two remaining items for the Project. First, the proposed Use 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 Use Restriction has both an onsite and off-site component. Both are geared toward the same goal to protect and maintain or enhance the wetland and streambed functions and the language in the Use Restriction does prohibit any future 1 of 229

development in the identified areas that would negatively impact the wetland and streambed functions and values of the sites. The Use Restriction does not unequivocally prohibit any activities or development in and around the site areas: instead, the Use Restriction is geared towards activities or development that reduce the environmental functions and values of the sites. The City may apply to the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board for termination of the Use 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 use 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 the project identifying storm damage from 2010 to 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. Further, because this Project contemplated development and improvements within “Waters of the United States,” it was further subject to United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit 404 Authorization Number SPL-2014-00346, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600- 2014-0019-R5, and San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Section 401 Water Quality Certification R-2019-0017.

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 2 of 229

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 Use 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 Use Restriction implements long-term site protection requirements identified in the Habitat Mitigation Monitoring Plan and San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements. The Use Restriction requires, among other things, that the subject properties (as detailed more below) must be maintained in such a way that future activities and development, do not reduce wetland and streambed functions and values. This was what the various permitting agencies required to allow the City to perform the work contemplated by the Project. This is a substantive restriction on the subject property; however, due to environmental sensitivity of the areas and the entitlements associated with the Project, the proposed Use Restriction limits the development that the City may be able to conduct in the at-issue areas. The form and content of the Use Restriction have been approved by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board staff and the City Attorney’s Office.

The Use Restriction will run with the land in perpetuity unless modified or terminated in accordance with the terms of the Use Restriction that would require approval by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. Failure to approve would result in the City not satisfying the requirements of the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan and Water Quality Certification and would likely require discussions and resolutions with the various permitting agencies that only approved the Project with the understanding that the environmentally beneficial impacts of the Project would be maintained and protected.

Staff prepared a Long-Term Management and Maintenance Plan (LTMP) to guide ongoing stewardship of both mitigation areas (see Attachment 3). The LTMP is being prepared to satisfy the long-term protection and management requirements contained in the project permits, particularly the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9-2019-0017. The LTMP is an operational and maintenance document prepared to demonstrate the City’s long-term commitment to maintaining the mitigation and restoration areas in accordance with permit requirements. As such, the LTMP is being provided to the City Council for receive and file purposes and for awareness of the City’s ongoing maintenance associated with the Project. The plan establishes routine inspections, pre-storm inspections, debris removal, invasive species control, limited vegetation management, and documentation procedures needed to preserve hydraulic function, water quality, and habitat values. This plan is designed to ensure the improvements and goals of the Project are effectuated into the future.

This item was originally scheduled to go before the City Council at its June 9, 2026, City Council meeting.

However, certain clarifications needed to be made to the Use Agreement and its corresponding exhibits to 3 of 229
