STUDY SESSION
*****************
1. CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION TO CONSIDER THE SCOPE OF SERVICES AND REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND FORMATION OF A GENERAL
PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Presentation and Discussion: Staff gave a presentation and responded to Councilmember questions.
Public Testimony: Deborah Laughton supported affirming the 2012 Mission Statement. She asked that the "contemporary planning practices" referenced in Attachment 1 be itemized. She urged the update to research and define the City's carrying capacity, including visitor impacts, because limited entry and exit routes affect circulation and evacuation safety. She asked that watercourse mapping be listed in Table 2 of the staff report rather than as a subtask, noting flood risk. Penelope Milne, CANDO (Canyon Alliance of Neighborhoods Defense Organization), supported the update. She said the Mission Statement largely reflects community values but treats open space mainly as scenic rather than as critical habitat, and is not well written. She asked about the status of the Open Space and Conservation Element subcommittee and the UltraSystems studies, and when those studies will be released. Karen Martin said the update requires reliable public records, proposed RFP (Request for Proposals) revisions to strengthen accountability, transparency, and consultant reporting; and asked that records, human review, public transparency, and pilot controls accompany any use of AI (artificial intelligence) in the update. Cathy Jurca spoke via virtual participation and supported a holistic update, the stewardship theme, and the attention to cultural heritage. She was glad watercourse mapping is included and asked for clarification on Local Coastal Program coordination and which elements affect certain neighborhoods.
City Council Direction:
a. Directed staff to finalize the Scope of Services consistent with City Council direction and to issue the Request for Proposals for the Comprehensive General Plan Update; 13 Laguna Beach City Council Study Session Minutes September 22, 2026 -2-
b. Confirmed that the Mission Statement and Guiding Principles adopted on February 7, 2012 (Attachment 4 of the staff report) remain aligned with the City's priorities and will serve as the framework for the Comprehensive General Plan Update. Council supported stewardship, with its three pillars of environment, culture, and heritage, as the organizing theme. Councilmembers suggested adding "resiliency" (fire, water, flood risk, health care/hospital), either as a fourth pillar or within the environment pillar, revisiting where housing is addressed (currently under cultural, ethnic, and social diversity), and wordsmithing for clarity and to better reflect the community's character; c. Provided feedback and direction to City staff regarding the General Plan Advisory Committee, to broaden outreach to reach residents not already active in City government, including working residents, newer residents, and young families with school-age children, allow applicants to identify their areas of expertise, and balance the committee both demographically and by expertise, while keeping enough structure to avoid gaps, add a high school student member, ideally a freshman or sophomore able to serve through the full project, and communicate the expected time commitment to applicants; and d. Directed staff to return on December 8, 2026, to the City Council with a resolution establishing the Committee’s composition and selection rules.

CONSENT
2 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 August 29, 2026 and September 18, 2026. Total disbursements issued during this period was $6,603,910.63.
DISCUSSION
• Check number 23014727 was 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. 28 APPROVAL OF GENERAL WARRANTS AND PAYROLL DISTRIBUTIONS October 13, 2026

Meeting Date:
October 13, 2026
CONSENT
3 SUBJECT: MONTHLY TREASURER’S AND INVESTMENT REPORT (AUGUST 2026) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Receive and file the August 2026 report.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
A monthly report from the elected City Treasurer is required by Government Code. That report included the cash and investments by fund and the valuations reported by the City’s banks. It was modified to comply with the Laguna Beach Investment Policy.
The City Council retained investment authority and has hired Meeder (the consultant) to manage a portion of the portfolio. The consultant report does not use the fair values reported by the custodial bank. Their report used other valuation sources.
Attached are the two reports for August 2026.
• Cash and investments managed by the City Treasurer totaled $53,200,000 and included the funds required for adequate liquidity during the next six months, assessment districts, bond funds and Special Investment Accounts. The report listed the receipts and disbursements by fund, reported fund balances, a discussion of the monthly activity, and a required statement by the City Treasurer that there is adequate liquidity for the next six months. The reported fair value was provided by US Bank, the custodial bank for the City’s investments. • Investments managed by the consultant totaled $84,296,000. The consultant’s report included a discussion of surplus investments and the general economy No investments were purchased this month.
The month-end portfolio includes US treasury securities (31%), government agency instruments (20%), the Local Agency Investment Fund (14%), medium-term corporate notes (19%), and high-yield, fully collateralized bank accounts (17%).
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action has no financial impact to the budget.

• Interest rates across the yield curve were mixed for July and higher year to date • Labor market data continued its general “no hire, no fire” posture, low unemployment • The 30-year U.S. Treasury bond hit its highest rate in 19 years on debt/inflation worries
• The Fed has lowered the Fed
Funds rate by 1.75% this cycle
from 5.5% to 3.75%.
• At the end of August, the futures
market was pricing in about two
.25% hikes by the end of 2027.
• In contrast, at the end of February
(right before the Iran conflict
started), the futures market was
pricing in about two .25% Fed
cuts by the end of 2026.

Fed Funds History and Futures' Projection
Historical Rate
Projected Rate
70 3
• Core Personal Consumption Expenditure YoY is
the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge.
• Core excludes food and energy components.
• It’s been above the Fed’s 2% target for 64
consecutive months.
• Economists expect Core PCE YoY to remain
above the Fed’s target for the foreseeable future.
• The current unemployment rate of 4.1% has
declined slightly from earlier this year and
remains low by historical standards.
• The Federal Reserve's NAIRU (NonAccelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment) is the lowest percentage of
unemployment that an economy can have
before inflation starts to speed up.
• 4.2% is the median long-run estimate of the
NAIRU.

2. Reject Claim #26-44 filed by Ignacio Salgado; and

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action has no financial impact on the budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), a "project" means an action which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (See CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a).) А "project" specifically does not include organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).) The proposed action is administrative in nature because the processing of claims is governed by the Government Claims Act as a prerequisite to filing suit against a public entity. Accordingly, rejection of the foregoing claims is not a “project” subject to CEQA.

5 SUBJECT: DEDICATION OF THE CITY’S 1931 SEAGRAVE FIRE ENGINE TO RETIRED FIRE CAPTAIN EUGENE “DIZ” D’ISABELLA
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the Resolution titled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DEDICATING THE CITY’S 1931 SEAGRAVE FIRE ENGINE TO RETIRED FIRE CAPTAIN EUGENE ‘DIZ’ D’ISABELLA”; and
2. Find that the recommended action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), because the dedication and naming of the 1931 Seagrave constitute an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
The City of Laguna Beach owns a 1931 Seagrave fire engine that holds historic significance as the Laguna Beach Fire Department's first factory-built fire apparatus. The Seagrave remains an important part of the Department's history and is undergoing restoration to preserve the apparatus for future generations.
Staff recommends dedicating the 1931 Seagrave in honor of retired Fire Captain Eugene "Diz" D'Isabella, whose 38-year career with the Laguna Beach Fire Department was marked by dedicated public service, leadership, and a longstanding personal connection to the historic apparatus. Captain D'Isabella took particular pride in the Seagrave and played an important role in its preservation.
The proposed Resolution would formally dedicate the apparatus as the "Captain Eugene 'Diz' D'Isabella Seagrave" in recognition of Captain D'Isabella's service to the Department and community and his contributions to preserving this important piece of Laguna Beach Fire Department history.
DISCUSSION
Captain Eugene “Diz” D’Isabella dedicated 38 years of service to the Laguna Beach Fire Department. He first joined the Department in 1956 and began his full-time career as an engineer on July 12, 1964. Over the course of his career, Captain D’Isabella served under eight Fire Chiefs and earned the respect of his colleagues through his competence, fairness, leadership, and commitment to public service.
Captain D’Isabella’s contributions extended beyond his day-to-day responsibilities with the Department.
Among his acts of service, he provided life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to former Fire Chief Ron Adams.
Captain D’Isabella was also committed to strengthening the relationship between the Fire Department and the Laguna Beach community. In partnership with the Laguna Beach Assistance League, he co-organized the “Care Bears” program to provide comfort to children experiencing traumatic incidents. The program continues to serve the community today.

October 13, 2026
Restoration of the 1931 Seagrave
The City’s 1931 Seagrave holds a unique place in Laguna Beach Fire Department history as the Department’s first factory-built fire apparatus. A complete restoration of the Seagrave is underway to ensure the historic engine can continue to be maintained and displayed for future generations.
The restoration reflects a shared commitment by the City and community to the Seagrave. Funding includes a contribution of City funds, with the remaining costs supported through contributions from the Laguna Beach Firefighters’ Association, residents of Irvine Cove, the Click Family Foundation, the Quilter Family, and Anita May. Restoration efforts are anticipated to be completed in early 2027.
Proposed Dedication
Captain D’Isabella developed a particular connection to the 1931 Seagrave during his career and took special pride in the historic engine. Recognizing its significance to the Department, he helped ensure that the apparatus was carefully maintained and preserved.
The proposed dedication recognizes this longstanding connection while providing a lasting tribute to Captain D’Isabella’s 38 years of service to the Laguna Beach Fire Department and the community. Naming the apparatus the “Captain Eugene ‘Diz’ D’Isabella Seagrave” would honor both his distinguished career and his personal commitment to the historic engine.
Naming Process and Policy Compliance
The City's Administrative Policy No. 5.32, Naming and Renaming Public Property (Attachment 2), establishes the process for naming City-owned property and facilities. The policy provides that naming proposals are submitted to the City Manager with supporting information describing the basis for the request. The proposal is then reviewed by the City Manager and appropriate department heads to evaluate feasibility, operational considerations, and consistency with the policy before being referred to the appropriate advisory committee for evaluation and recommendation. The proposal is then presented to the City Council, which retains the sole authority to approve or deny the naming request after considering the committee's recommendation and public input.
Staff has completed the required administrative review of the proposal and determined that naming the apparatus the “Captain Eugene ‘Diz’ D’Isabella Seagrave” is consistent with Administrative Policy No.
5.32, which authorizes recognition of individuals who have made significant contributions to the Laguna Beach community.
On October 3, 2026, the Emergency Disaster Preparedness Committee (EDPC) reviewed the proposed dedication and recommended approval of naming the apparatus the “Captain Eugene ‘Diz’ D’Isabella Seagrave.”
City Council consideration represents the final step in the naming process. Should the City Council approve the proposed dedication, staff will coordinate implementation, including installation of a commemorative plaque in accordance with Administrative Policy No. 5.32. 91 DEDICATION OF THE CITY’S 1931 SEAGRAVE FIRE ENGINE TO RETIRED FIRE CAPTAIN EUGENE “DIZ” D’ISABELLA
October 13, 2026
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Costs associated with the ongoing restoration of the 1931 Seagrave are separate from the proposed dedication and are being funded through a combination of City and community contributions.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), because the dedication and naming of the 1931 Seagrave constitute an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

7 SUBJECT: FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE UPDATING TITLE 18 RELATING TO
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT USE AT CITY PARK FACILITIES
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Waive the full reading and introduce by title only an Ordinance titled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 18.01 (DEFINITIONS) AND ADDING SECTION 18.28.030 (SKATE PARK
FACILITY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT) TO THE LAGUNA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING REQUIRED HELMETS, ELBOW PADS, AND KNEE PADS AT SKATE PARK FACILITIES; AND FINDING SUCH ACTION EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT UNDER CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15301”; and
2. Finding such action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines Section 15304.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
The City of Laguna Beach operates temporary skate ramps at the Community & Recreation Center (“CRC”) for recreational and instructional uses. Additionally, in July of 2026, a two-week temporary modular bike pump track was installed at the CRC for public use. California Health and Safety Code Section 115800 provides local public agencies with immunity from certain injury claims arising from the use of a skateboard or other wheeled recreational devices (meaning nonmotorized bicycles, scooters, inline skates, roller skates, or wheelchairs being used for recreational purposes) by persons 12 years of age or older when an injury is caused by a stunt, trick, or luge riding at an unsupervised facility that is owned or operated by such local agency and that is designed and maintained for the purpose of riding such devices when the local public agency adopts an ordinance requiring a person riding such devices at the facility to wear a helmet, elbow pads, and knees pads and posts signs at the facility identifying the required protective equipment and that a person failing to wear such protective equipment is subject to citation. City staff recommends that the City Council introduce for first reading and ultimately adopt the attached ordinance which satisfies the abovementioned requirements to trigger the immunity for the City.
DISCUSSION
The Laguna Beach Municipal Code addresses the use of skateboards and roller-skates on public property in Title 10 (Traffic) in the context of traffic enforcement. (See Chapter 10.15 (Skateboarding and Roller Skating).) City staff recommends further addressing the rules and regulations for use of skateboards and other wheeled recreational devices at City skate park facilities. (Attachment 1.) The proposed ordinance amends Laguna Beach Municipal Code Chapter 18.01 (Definitions) of Title 18 (Beach and Parks) to add the following new defined terms in alphabetical orders:
104
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE UPDATING TITLE 18 RELATING TO PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT USE AT CITY PARK FACILITIES
September 22, 2026
“Skate park facility” means any facility owned or operated by the City of Laguna Beach that is designed and maintained for the purpose of riding a recreational skateboard or other wheeled recreational device.
“Wheeled recreational device” means nonmotorized bicycles, scooters, inline skates, roller skates, or wheelchairs being used for recreational purposes.
The proposed ordinance amends Title 18 (Beach and Parks) to add Section 18.28.030 (Skate Park Facility Protective Equipment):
§ 18.28.030. Skate Park Facility Protective Equipment
A. Protective Equipment Required. No person shall ride or operate a skateboard or other wheeled recreational device at any skate park facility unless the person is wearing a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads.
B. Posting of Signs. The City Manager or designee shall post and maintain signs, located at each skate park facility in a place reasonably visible to users of such skate park facility, that state the following:
1. Any person riding a skateboard or other wheeled recreational device at this facility must wear a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads;
2. Any person who fails to wear the required helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads is subject to citation and may be removed from this facility.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action has no financial impact to the budget.
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 requires persons to use protective equipment at skate park facilities owned or operated by the City and requires City staff to post signs with rules at the facilities and otherwise does not involve development.

consistent with Section 115800; and
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby adopted as findings in support of this Ordinance as if fully set forth herein.
SECTION 2. Code Amendment. Laguna Beach Municipal Code Chapter 18.01 (Definitions) of Title 18 (Beach and Parks) is hereby amended to add the following new defined terms in alphabetical orders:

8 SUBJECT: APPROPRIATION OF WILDFIRE MITIGATION AND FIRE SAFETY FUNDS
FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE INITIATIVES AND
APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS
RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the appropriation of $425,000 from the Wildfire Mitigation and Fire Safety Fund to the Wildfire Special Projects Fund (1412401-72071) for the emergency preparedness and response initiatives recommended by the Wildfire Mitigation and Fire Safety Ad Hoc Committee; and
2. Find that the proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) because the action will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
The Wildfire Mitigation and Fire Safety Ad Hoc Committee recommends the use of $425,000 in Wildfire Mitigation and Fire Safety funding for four (4) emergency preparedness and response initiatives as listed below:
Initiative Amount
Emergency Shelter Trailer and Supplies $70,000
EOC Management Software $65,000
Genasys Outdoor Warning System Repair Contingency $140,000 Vehicle Extrication Equipment $150,000
Total $425,000
The City maintains dedicated resources for wildfire mitigation, fire safety, and emergency preparedness efforts. Staff recommends appropriating $425,000 to the Wildfire Special Projects Fund (1412401-72071) for the four (4) initiatives recommended by the Wildfire Mitigation and Fire Safety Ad Hoc Committee.
DISCUSSION
Emergency Shelter Trailer and Supplies
The emergency shelter allocation includes approximately $59,000 for the purchase of a mobile trailer with supplies included to shelter over 100 people during a disaster, with the remaining amount designated for associated equipment and supplies to support the evacuation of animals as well as emergency food and water for humans and animals.
110
APPROPRIATION OF WILDFIRE MITIGATION AND FIRE SAFETY FUNDS FOR
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE INITIATIVES
October 13, 2026
Emergency Operations Center Management Software
The EOC management software allocation provides $65,000 for a three-year term, including approximately $30,000 for the first year and $17,500 for each of the subsequent two (2) years. The EOC management software supports the city’s new EOC by creating a common operating picture to assist with resource allocation and policy decisions, mapping, tracking staff and volunteers, compiling damage assessment, tracking costs, and documenting all process and expenditures for reimbursement from CalOES and FEMA.
Outdoor Warning System Maintenance and Repairs
The Outdoor Warning System allocation would provide an additional $140,000 for repairs and maintenance of the City’s existing Genasys siren system. On August 4, 2026, the City Council approved $50,000 for system maintenance and repairs. The additional allocation would bring the total funding available for this purpose to $190,000, which staff anticipates will be sufficient to cover routine repairs and maintenance for up to three years, barring significant or unforeseen damage to the system.
Vehicle Extrication Equipment
The $150,000 vehicle extrication equipment allocation would provide for the replacement or acquisition of specialized rescue tools used by Fire Department personnel during vehicle extrication incidents impacting evacuations.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action would appropriate $425,000 from the Wildfire Mitigation and Fire Safety Fund to account 1412401-72071. Sufficient resources are available for the requested appropriation. Total funding available for appropriation in the City’s Wildfire Mitigation and Fire Safety Fund (#141) is approximately $1.8M. No General Fund impact is associated with this action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3). The action consists of a budgetary appropriation for the acquisition of equipment, software, supplies, and repair services and does not authorize any activity that would result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
Accordingly, the action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

9 SUBJECT: BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR HOSPITAL CONSULTANTS AND
ATTORNEYS
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Appropriate $500,000 from the Disaster Relief/Contingency Fund to the City Attorney’s Office Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget for legal and attendant consulting services relating to the possible closure of Mission Hospital Laguna Beach;
2. Direct the Finance Department to create a separate contract services account in the City Attorney’s Office Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget for only the $500,000 hospital-related appropriation;
3. Authorize the City Attorney to retain, negotiate, and execute agreements with outside legal counsel, healthcare advisory firms, and other consultants and experts that the City Attorney determines are necessary to advise the City regarding its legal options related to the possible closure of Mission Hospital Laguna Beach, provided that total expenditures under all such agreements do not exceed the $500,000 appropriated; and
4. Direct the City Manager and City Attorney to report to the City Council periodically on nonprivileged status updates and on aggregate expenditures.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
Providence has informed the City that it intends to close Mission Hospital Laguna Beach (the “Hospital”), the City’s only acute care hospital and emergency department, effective January 1, 2030. In March 2026, the City Council adopted a Hospital Action Plan and formed a Hospital Task Force to evaluate options for keeping emergency care in Laguna Beach. Assessing the City’s options on this front requires expertise that the City does not have in-house relating to, amongst other things, hospital operations and finance, hospital seismic retrofitting, emergency medical services, state healthcare regulation, and the related legal considerations.
Staff recommends that the City Council appropriate $500,000 to the City Attorney’s Office and authorize the City Attorney to retain the attorneys and consultants needed to support this work. Because this work will inform the City’s legal analysis and strategy, the City Attorney would enter into and direct these agreements in order to preserve the attorney-client privilege and attorney work product protections that apply to that analysis.

Budget Appropriation for Hospital Consultants and Attorneys October 13, 2026
DISCUSSION
Background
The Hospital has been part of the community since 1959 and is operated by Providence as a “second campus” of Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo. Providence has told the City that it intends to close the Hospital effective January 1, 2030, citing an estimated $300 million to $350 million in seismic upgrades required by State law.1 Providence has proposed replacing the Hospital with a non-acute “advanced medical care center” that would offer outpatient services but no inpatient care. Under current State law, an emergency department must operate as part of a licensed general acute care hospital, and 911 ambulances may transport patients only to licensed hospitals.2 If the Hospital closes, its emergency department (“ED”) must close with it.
The ED remains heavily used. According to Providence’s filings with the State, the ED recorded 14,827 visits in calendar year 2025, and 7,131 of those were classified at the highest complexity level; it has seen between 14,800 and 17,600 visits every year for the last decade.3 The Hospital also intakes the majority of ambulance transports made by the Laguna Beach Fire Department (“LBFD”): of the 1,811 ambulance transports made by LBFD between July 1, 2025 and August 25, 2026, 1,085 (about 60%) went to the Hospital. The average transport to the Hospital takes about five minutes. If the Hospital closes, transports to other hospitals are expected to take 17 to 35 minutes each, which would keep the City’s ambulances and fire crews out of the community for longer periods.4
Since Providence’s announcement, the City has taken the following steps:
• In March 2026, the City Council adopted a Hospital Action Plan and thereafter, on June 23, 2026, formed a 16-member Hospital Task Force, co-chaired by Councilmembers Bob Whalen and Alex Rounaghi, made up of residents with medical, healthcare administration, planning, and other relevant experience. The Hospital Task Force has met twice as a large group but additional times as smaller cohorts.
• On July 23, 2026, City representatives met with staff of the California Attorney General’s Office. In late September, 2026, Councilmembers Whalen and Rounaghi sent a follow-up letter to Attorney General (AG) Rob Bonta asking for his office’s help on several issues, including an updated Orange 1 Health & Safety Code § 130065(a) requires that by January 1, 2030, every building used for acute inpatient care must be able to stay standing and keep operating after a major earthquake; a hospital that cannot meet the standard must retrofit, replace, or demolish the building, or stop using it for acute care. Subdivision (b) of the same section allowed a hospital to request an extension of up to three years beyond the January 1, 2030 deadline, with a possible additional two years in limited circumstances. Providence, however, did not seek an extension for the Hospital. 2 See Health & Safety Code § 1250(a) [general acute care hospital license]; Health & Safety Code § 1255 [emergency services are approved as an add-on to that hospital license]; 22 C.C.R. § 70411 et seq. [basic emergency medical service].

Budget Appropriation for Hospital Consultants and Attorneys October 13, 2026
County EMS impact study, the status of donated funds, and prior AG conditions that appear to be tied to the ED (the City’s letter is Attachment 1).
• In August 2026, Providence agreed to study the feasibility of a smaller “micro-hospital” with an ED and a limited number of intensive care beds. That plan is due to the City later this month. Providence has made clear that its agreement to study a micro-hospital does not commit it to build one. • Providence and the City have also agreed to pursue legislation in 2027 that would allow a stand-alone ED at the Hospital site. Note: At the end of September, 2026, Governor Newsom vetoed AB 2282 (Alanis, 2026) that would have allowed an interim emergency department as a standalone entity near Patterson, CA in western Stanislaus County.
The City is evaluating other approaches, also, including discussion with other hospital operators, evaluating other ways to fund emergency care, and other options – including an evaluation of all legal avenues – to maintain a hospital in Laguna Beach.
Need for Specialized Legal and Technical Advice
To evaluate these options, respond to Providence’s proposals, and maintain an ongoing dialogue with the Health Facilities Unit in the Healthcare Rights and Access Section of the California AG's Office to advocate for their involvement with Providence’s proposed closure and related actions, the City needs advice from the appropriate subject matter experts. This work, which is intended to advise the City’s legal strategy, is expected to include, but may not be limited to:
• Specialized outside legal counsel to advise in areas such as healthcare regulatory law, hospital licensing and seismic compliance, and relevant land use matters. • Healthcare advisory services, including analysis of related regulatory and compliance issues associated with hospital operations and finances, a micro-hospital, alternative governance models, and existing regulatory conditions relevant to Providence.
• Other technical experts and consultants as needed.
The timeline makes it important to start this work now. The proposed closure date is a little more than three years away.
We issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for services similar to the above (this RFQ closed September 14, 2026), and received only one response. The response was thoughtful and grounded by a well-qualified architectural firm, which may not be a primary driver of decision points from here. Given the increasing legal issues we’re noting, we recommend moving this task and consultancy agreements to the City Attorney’s Office, which may or may not determine to retain the lone RFQ respondent in collaboration with other firms’ expertise.
A primary reason for the assignment to the City Attorney’s Office is to protect the confidentiality of the City’s legal analysis and strategy while it evaluates options that may involve negotiation, regulatory proceedings, or litigation. The City Attorney’s Office, in consultation with the City Manager and the Ad Hoc Committee, is in the process of further identifying qualified healthcare advisory and law firms. The recommended action would authorize the City Attorney to execute agreements for these services within the 118
Budget Appropriation for Hospital Consultants and Attorneys October 13, 2026
$500,000 appropriation. The City Attorney will coordinate this work with the City Manager and the Ad Hoc Committee.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Approving the recommended action would appropriate $500,000 from the Disaster Relief/Contingency (which has $7,422,126 in it) to the City Attorney’s Office Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget for legal and attendant consulting services relating to the possible closure of Mission Hospital Laguna Beach. This would reduce the Disaster Relief/Contingency by the same amount (resulting in a Disaster Contingency of $6,922,126).
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub.
Res. Code § 21065). It is a government fiscal activity that does not commit the City to any specific project that may cause a significant physical impact on the environment, and it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment (CEQA Guidelines, § 15378, subd. (b)(4), (5)).

The Honorable Rob Bonta
California Attorney General
Post Office Box 944255
Sacramento, CA 94244-2550
RE: Mission Hospital Laguna Beach’s Possible Closure
Dear Attorney General Bonta –
In July of this year, your staff was kind enough to meet with us (as representatives of the City of Laguna Beach) to discuss the possible closure of Mission Hospital Laguna Beach (“Hospital”), the lone acute care hospital in Laguna Beach.1 The Hospital, currently operated by Providence Health, has been part of our community since 1959. We believe that its emergency room services are vital to the health and safety of our 23,000 residents and the tens of thousands of visitors who come to our community and beaches on a busy weekend or summer day. The number of annual visitors to the city exceeds 6 million.
Providence has told us that it intends to close the Hospital effective January 1, 2030, in part because of the “$300M to $350M” in seismic upgrade costs required by State law, as well as Providence’s desire to bring a non-acute care medical center model to our town (i.e., a more modern medical center without in-patient services), one which Providence believes will be more financially sustainable and will offer a broader range of non-emergency medical services than currently provided at the Hospital site.
Our major concern is that Providence’s proposed model leaves the community with no Emergency Department (ED). The closure of the ED presents two distinct adverse impacts. First, the majority of the patients—who currently walk into the ED—will have to travel much greater distances to access emergency care. Second, there will be negative impacts to the operation of the City’s 911/EMS delivery system should the Hospital close.
Since 2023 we have run the local ambulance service through our Fire Department with two ambulances (upstaffed to three ambulances during weekend days between Memorial Day and Labor Day) and 12 employees staffing the operation. With this team, we have averaged over 1,600 transports annually with the vast majority of those patients being taken to Mission Hospital Laguna Beach. If our community’s two or three ambulances, in some cases accompanied by a fire engine, are frequently on the road delivering patients to neighboring communities such as Mission Viejo, Irvine and Newport Beach, then that adversely affects the ability of our first responders to provide care and safety for our residents and visitors.
1 Mission Hospital Laguna Beach is operated as a “second campus” to Mission Hospital, Mission Viejo. The larger hospital is geographically separated from the City of Laguna Beach.

505 FOREST AVE. ● LAGUNA BEACH, CA 92651 ● TEL (949) 497-3311 ● FAX (949) 497-0771 Given our strong belief that there will likely be adverse consequences to a closure of the Hospital and the loss of the ED, we have asked, and Providence has agreed, to explore two approaches to maintaining an ED in Laguna Beach. Specifically, Providence and the City have agreed to pursue legislation that would allow for a stand-alone ED at the Hospital site and to evaluate the feasibility of a small, micro-hospital with an ED and a limited number of ICU beds. Providence has made clear that its willingness to study a micro-hospital in no way commits Providence to include such a facility in its future plans.
We appreciate Providence’s willingness to consider a stand-alone ED in its plans (if allowed via new legislation) and to evaluate the feasibility of including a smaller acute care hospital but remain concerned that neither of these options are guaranteed to result in our maintaining an ER. The overwhelming response from our community to Providence’s announcement is that it is essential for the City to find a way to maintain a hospital and an ED in Laguna Beach.
The Attorney General's office was involved a decade ago when Providence proposed a significant realignment of its hospital systems across California. At that time your office commissioned a study by Vizient. The Vizient study is linked here. With respect to emergency services the Vizient study concluded that “it is critical that Mission Hospital and Mission Laguna Beach maintain their emergency services.” At that time, the Attorney General’s office imposed a number of conditions on the merger between Providence and St. Joseph’s including that the ED at the Hospital continue to operate for at least “five years from closing” and that “for a period of five years from the closing (each affected hospital will) continued to be maintained as a licensed general acute care hospital.” 2 We understand that the proposed closure itself would not trigger a review by your office like the one conducted in 2016 as the action does not involve a merger or ownership change. We believe, however, that the Attorney General's office still may have an interest in the possible closure of Mission Hospital Laguna Beach, for a variety of reasons set forth below. Therefore, we offer the following informational comments and requests as follow-ups to our July 23, 2026 meeting with your staff:
First, we had previously filled out a form via your web portal to make a brief appointment with you to ensure that you were aware of the community's concerns regarding the possible closure of the Hospital and the lack of a full-service emergency department in our community after 2030.
We would still appreciate having that brief meeting.
Second, we have met with Orange County’s Emergency Medical Services division (OC EMS) to ask them to consider an updated EMS Impact Study with and without Mission Hospital Laguna Beach in operation. The end result of that meeting was that OC EMS does not intend to do an Impact Study for the regional EMS system until OC EMS is formally notified of the Hospital’s closure. However, this may not happen until six months before January 2030, which seems too late for effective planning. It may be essential that an earlier impact study is done, or encouraged.
We would ask that your office assist in requesting an impact study on the proposed closure of the Hospital.

505 FOREST AVE. ● LAGUNA BEACH, CA 92651 ● TEL (949) 497-3311 ● FAX (949) 497-0771 Third, following up on your office's 2016 Vizient study of the consolidation of various Providence hospitals across California, we offered to share with your office the current information about the transport of patients to and from the City of Laguna Beach by our Fire Department’s ambulance transport system, which is shown below for the recent 13-month period ending towards the end of August 2026. As you can see, Mission Hospital Laguna Beach is still the primary destination for ambulance transports from our system.
Additional historical and current data for the Mission Hospital Laguna Beach ED is provided in Attachment A to this letter. We believe that this data supports a conclusion that retaining an ED in Laguna Beach is as critical, if not more critical, now than it was in 2016 when your office drew that conclusion.
Fourth, we inquired as to how your office would or could review the disposition of granted / donated funds to Mission Hospital Laguna Beach for the purpose of constructing and operating the ED (press release copy here), assuming that the Attorney General retains supervisory jurisdiction over this charitable asset.3
Fifth, while the Vizient study and related documents show the last of the specific obligations that the Attorney General imposed on Providence expiring in 2026 , a follow-up action in 2024 involving the Attorney General and the Rady Children’s Hospital of San Diego and the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) appears to have directed that 24-hour emergency services remain at Mission Hospital Laguna Beach at least through 2034.

Our question regarding this point is whether the Rady-CHOC requirement under Section IV (c) 5 is effective to late 2034, as our layperson’s read of it may suggest.
Lastly, as your office reviews other changes in hospital ownership affecting Providence across California, we respectfully ask that you consider how those changes might financially assist Providence in maintaining a hospital (even one of small size) in Laguna Beach. While we are not experts in hospital financing, it seems to us that a partial re-capitalization of the Providence system infrastructure as a result of possible facility sales or transfers elsewhere could support Providence’s fiscal ability to stay in Laguna Beach with an operational 24/7 Emergency Department.
Thank you again for your staff’s attention to our concerns, and we look forward to hearing from you regarding any follow-up items suggested by this letter.
Sincerely,
ALEX ROUNAGHI BOB WHALEN

More Data on the ED and the Attorney General’s Past Input Providence has said that a possible replacement for the Mission Hospital Laguna Beach and its ED could be a 24/7 “advanced medical care center,” providing a range of out-patient services but not one authorized to receive emergency transports since the center will not be an acute care facility.
Providence has stated its belief that the vast majority of the patients currently being treated at the ED could be seen and cared for at the advanced medical care center without any adverse impact on health outcomes. We are concerned that this may not be the case based on the data and other information summarized below.
1. Mission Laguna Beach ED Sees Many High and Moderate Complexity Cases.
As evidenced in the table below, Providence’s filing with HCAI for calendar year 2025 shows a high demand for the ED and a large percentage of “high” and “moderate” complexity cases.
There is research concluding that roughly 14 to 27 percent of emergency room visits nationally could be managed at urgent care centers and retail clinics.4 However, these concern the lowestacuity levels of emergency department caseloads; no published study that we are aware of supports treating high-complexity patients in urgent care facilities.
2. Prior Review of Mission Laguna Beach ED by Attorney General Highlights Critical Need for ED
In connection with the 2009 sale of the Hospital, the Attorney General commissioned an independent healthcare impact report from Medical Development Specialists, Inc. Its conclusion was that the emergency department at the Laguna Beach campus “is needed for patient access”; travel times to other emergency departments “could equal 30-40 minutes from remote portions of 4 Weinick, Burns & Mehrotra, Many Emergency Department Visits Could Be Managed at Urgent Care Centers and Retail Clinics, Health Affairs, vol. 29, no. 9 (2010) (estimating that 13.7–27.1% of emergency department visits nationally — the lowest-acuity fraction of ED caseloads — could be managed at urgent care centers and retail clinics).

These findings became the basis for the operating conditions the Attorney General attached to the sale.
In 2016, the Attorney General commissioned another impact statement, this time by Vizient, in connection with the merger between Providence and the St. Joseph Health System, which found both the Mission Viejo and Laguna Beach hospitals “very important” to the service area. With respect to the provision of emergency services the Vizient report stated:
“In addition, the anticipated closure of Saddleback Memorial Medical Center’s San Clemente campus is expected to result in increased emergency department utilization within the service area.
In order to ensure access to emergency services within the service area, it is critical that Mission Hospital and Mission Laguna Beach maintain their emergency services.” These findings resulted in the Attorney General’s condition to the 2016 merger that Providence maintain its emergency-care services at Mission Laguna Beach for a five-year period.6 Twice, on independent review commissioned by the Attorney General, the evidence supported keeping the Mission Hospital Laguna Beach ED open. The data shows that the need for the ED in Laguna Beach has not diminished over time. The year before the 2009 report, the ED recorded 13,142 visits; in 2025 it recorded 14,827 — 13% more — with nearly half classified at the highest complexity level. As set forth below, the ED has seen between 14,800 and 17,600 visits every year for the last decade (Exhibit A).7

Access would be particularly difficult when summer visitors increase the population and make traffic patterns much more difficult.”).

As predicted in the Vizient study, when San Clemente’s hospital closed in 2016, its emergency volume shifted to other hospitals. In 2025, the total visits to the emergency room at Mission Hospital were approximately 20% higher than 2016 and the emergency room showed signs of being impacted as it logged 371 hours on ambulance diversion in 2025 — 183 of them in January alone (Exhibit B).8

3. A Closure of Mission Laguna Beach ED Will Significantly Increase Travel Times to Emergency Care
Our Fire Department operates three ambulances and averages a five-minute transport to Mission Hospital Laguna Beach; after closure, it’s likely that every emergency becomes a 17-to-35-minute transport (Exhibit C).9 The time-sensitivity is rooted in the ED’s actual caseload: 7,131 visits last year were classified at the highest complexity level on Providence’s own filing — a tier defined in part by threats to life or bodily function — and because 80% of patients arrive at the Mission Hospital Laguna Beach ED by private car rather than ambulance, this location provides the nearest facility to stabilize walk-in patients exhibiting cardiac, stroke, respiratory and other serious medical conditions. For those patients, added minutes to treatment could have significant adverse health effects.10 Research on emergency department closures is direct: residents affected by the closure of a nearby emergency department experience approximately five percent higher odds of inpatient death, with additional mortality documented at the neighboring hospitals that absorb the displaced volume.11
Providence reports that only 2.5% of patients are transferred to Mission Viejo after being received at the Mission Hospital Laguna Beach ED — but that number measures transfers after stabilization at Laguna Beach, and does not analyze the key question of what the medical impact on longer travel times for patients who are not quickly stabilized at Laguna Beach and then transported. 12 Exhibit C

REGULAR
BUSINESS
10 SUBJECT: MAIN BEACH BOARDWALK REHABILITATION DISCUSSION RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Receive a presentation on material options for the Main Beach Boardwalk Rehabilitation project; and
2. Provide input to staff for material selection for the Main Beach Boardwalk Rehabilitation.
DISCUSSION
The Main Beach boardwalk consists of approximately 2,000 wood deck boards that have become weathered and require replacement. On September 16, 2026, staff presented several replacement material options to the Planning Commission for Concept Review, including pressure treated Douglas Fir, tropical hardwoods, and modified wood alternatives. Following staff’s presentation, the Planning Commission discussed the available options and emphasized the importance of maintaining the existing character and appearance of the boardwalk. Based on that consideration, the Commission identified pressure treated Douglas Fir as the preferred material.
Before proceeding with final design, staff is requesting City Council input on the proposed material selection. Staff will provide a presentation at the October 13, 2026, City Council meeting. The attached Planning Commission staff report provides additional information and photographs of the materials considered (Attachment 1).
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, the recommended actions consist of government activities, which do not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and therefore do not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act. No construction is authorized, and any feedback does not commit the City to a future action. The appropriate CEQA determination for construction of the project will be made prior to any City approval authorizing construction.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Applicant, City of Laguna Beach Public Works and Utilities Department, is requesting a concept review by the Planning Commission for the proposed Main Beach Boardwalk Improvement Project.
The existing boardwalk consists of approximately 2,045 wood decking boards, generally measuring a 3-inch by 8-inch and measuring approximately 10-12 feet long. The boards are individually tapered as necessary to conform to the curved geometry of the existing boardwalk and are secured to the underlying framing with countersunk fasteners.
The proposed project would replace the aging wood decking while maintaining the existing boardwalk alignment, dimensions, structural configuration, and pedestrian function. Staff is currently evaluating several decking materials, including Douglas Fir, Ipe, tropical hardwoods, and other durable wood or modified-wood alternatives, based on durability, appearance, constructability, maintenance requirements, coastal performance, cost, and long-term lifecycle cost.
The purpose of the project is to extend the useful life of the Main Beach Boardwalk, maintain a safe and attractive pedestrian facility, reduce long-term maintenance requirements where feasible, and preserve the existing character of this prominent coastal public amenity. This request is for concept review only. No formal project approval or construction authorization is requested at this stage.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Proposed Project:
The Main Beach Boardwalk is a heavily used pedestrian facility located within Main Beach Park, extending approximately 1,200 linear feet between the Marine Safety Headquarters and Laguna Avenue. The boardwalk serves as a primary pedestrian route through the park and along the shoreline, accommodating both residents and visitors. It provides pedestrian circulation between the surrounding downtown commercial area, Main Beach Park, and the beach, and is one of the most visible and frequently used public facilities in the City.
The existing decking consists primarily of Douglas Fir and pressure-treated pine wood boards installed over the existing structural framing. The boards are generally nominal 3-inch by 8-inch members, approximately 10 to 12 feet in length, and are individually tapered to accommodate the curved configuration of the boardwalk. The boards are secured to the underlying framing with countersunk fasteners. Individual boards have been replaced over time as deterioration and wear have occurred, and the existing decking varies in age, material, and condition. Although individual 137
PC Staff Report
September 16, 2026
boards have been replaced over time as part of routine maintenance, the proposed project would involve comprehensive replacement of the boardwalk decking rather than continued replacement of isolated deteriorated boards.
Exposure to the marine environment, including sunlight, salt air, moisture, and sand, combined with continuous pedestrian traffic, has contributed to deterioration of the decking. Sand accumulates within and beneath the decking, and individual boards periodically require refastening or replacement. The City is evaluating replacement of the existing decking to extend the useful life of the boardwalk, maintain a safe pedestrian surface, and reduce recurring maintenance while maintaining the existing appearance and function of the facility.
The proposed project consists of removing and replacing the existing wood decking along the boardwalk, consisting of approximately 2,045 boards, while retaining the existing boardwalk footprint, alignment, and underlying structural configuration. The replacement decking will match the existing nominal dimensions and would be custom fabricated or field-cut as necessary to accommodate the curved geometry of the boardwalk. No change to the boardwalk width, length, height, or foundation is proposed, and the project would not expand the facility or change its use.
Any modification to the underlying framing or fastening system that may prove necessary to accommodate the selected material is discussed under Existing Fastening and Constructability below.
The project will also include replacement of deteriorated wood decking at the existing boardwalk access stairs using materials consistent with the selected boardwalk decking material. The existing stair configuration, alignment, and structural supports will be retained unless localized repairs are identified during final design or construction.
The existing fastening configuration will also be evaluated during final design to develop an attachment detail that provides sufficient long-term fastening capacity while maintaining a level, slip-resistant walking surface.
A decking material has not yet been selected. Staff is presenting four alternatives for Planning Commission feedback, as described below. The selected material will determine the final board dimensions, the attachment detail, and the resulting appearance of the boardwalk surface.
Decking Material Alternatives:
As part of the conceptual design process, staff evaluated a range of materials for replacement of the existing Main Beach Boardwalk decking, including natural wood, modified wood, and manufactured decking products. Alternatives were evaluated against the criteria identified below.
Four alternatives have been carried forward for further evaluation and for Planning Commission feedback: Ipe, Pressure-Treated Douglas Fir, Balata (Bulletwood), and Accoya. Each provides a natural wood appearance consistent with the existing boardwalk and offers a different 138
PC Staff Report

combination of durability, constructability, availability, maintenance requirements, initial cost, and anticipated service life. Materials have not yet been selected.
The following summary is based on research that includes pricing and availability information obtained from local and regional lumber suppliers, as well as manufacturer literature. Supplier information is on file with the Public Works and Utilities Department. Anticipated service life varies depending on installation, exposure, and maintenance, and the ranges provided reflect current industry guidance. Pricing is presented for relative comparison; detailed unit and total cost estimates will be developed during final design.

Ipe: Ipe is an extremely dense tropical hardwood that provides exceptional hardness, strength, dimensional stability, and natural resistance to decay, insects, moisture, weathering, and abrasion. These characteristics make it well suited for a heavily used coastal boardwalk exposed to sand, salt air, moisture, sunlight, and continuous pedestrian traffic. Ipe can provide a longer service life than conventional softwoods with relatively low maintenance and can be custom fabricated to accommodate the boardwalk's existing tapered configuration. Its natural brown appearance may be maintained through periodic finishing or allowed to weather naturally to a silver-gray patina (Figure 1B). Considerations include the highest initial cost of the four alternatives, material weight, longer procurement lead times, increased difficulty in cutting and custom fabrication, and pre-drilling requirements. The species marketed as Ipe are subject to international trade controls, and documentation of legal and sustainable sourcing would be required as a condition of any future approval.

Figure 1B: Silver-gray patina (naturally weathered Ipe) 140
PC Staff Report
September 16, 2026
Pressure-Treated Douglas Fir: Pressure-treated Douglas Fir is a structural softwood that provides a traditional natural wood appearance similar to the existing Main Beach Boardwalk decking. It is readily available in larger dimensions, relatively easy to cut and custom fabricate, compatible with the existing countersunk fastening system, and is generally the most economical of the alternatives. Pressure treatment improves resistance to decay and moisture compared with untreated Douglas Fir. However, it remains softer and less resistant to abrasion and wear than dense hardwood alternatives and may require more frequent maintenance and replacement over its service life. Potential long-term concerns include splintering, warping, surface wear, and deterioration associated with moisture, sunlight exposure, salt air, sand, and heavy pedestrian traffic. This alternative would most closely replicate the existing boardwalk and would result in the least change to its appearance.
Figure 2: Pressure-Treated Douglas Fir (Existing)
Balata (Bulletwood): Balata is a dense tropical hardwood with high strength, hardness, and natural resistance to decay, moisture, insects, and exterior weathering. Similar to Ipe, its density and resistance to abrasion make it well suited for high-traffic exterior applications and allow it to withstand substantial pedestrian wear, sand abrasion, and coastal exposure. Balata is generally less hard and less wear-resistant than Ipe but provides greater wear resistance and a longer anticipated service life than conventional softwood decking while maintaining a natural wood appearance. Considerations include availability in the required dimensions and quantities, procurement lead times, material weight, increased difficulty in cutting and custom tapering, predrilling and fastening requirements, and cost. 141
PC Staff Report
September 16, 2026
Figure 3: Balata Hardwood Decking
Accoya: Accoya is a modified natural wood product manufactured through a process that reduces the wood’s ability to absorb water, substantially improving its resistance to swelling, shrinking, warping, moisture, and biological decay. It retains the appearance and workability of natural wood and can be cut and custom fabricated using conventional woodworking methods. Its dimensional stability may be particularly beneficial for the boardwalk by reducing movement around fastening locations and improving long-term performance in changing coastal conditions. Considerations include higher initial cost and whether the required board dimensions and quantities can be procured and fabricated within an acceptable schedule and cost.
Figure 4: Accoya Decking
Other Materials Considered:
Staff also considered several other natural wood alternatives, including Cumaru, Teak, Redwood, and thermally modified wood. These materials offer varying levels of durability and resistance to coastal exposure but were considered less favorable due to factors such as cost, availability in the required dimensions and quantities, fabrication requirements, dimensional stability, and anticipated performance under heavy pedestrian traffic and abrasive beach conditions. The softer alternatives also provide lower resistance to wear and abrasion and may require more frequent maintenance or replacement.
Composite and plastic decking products were also considered due to their resistance to decay and reduced routine maintenance. However, these products may present compatibility challenges 142
PC Staff Report
September 16, 2026
with the existing framing, fastening system, and custom tapered board configuration. In addition, their manufactured appearance would not retain the natural wood character of the existing Main Beach Boardwalk. For these reasons, composite and plastic products were not carried forward.
Material Evaluation:
The boardwalk experiences continuous pedestrian traffic and direct exposure to the marine environment. No single material performs best against every factor, and the selection involves trade-offs among initial cost, service life, constructability, and appearance. Staff’s continued evaluation will consider:
• Durability and expected service life;
• Resistance to moisture, decay, checking, splintering, and abrasion; • Performance under exposure to sand, salt air, and sunlight; • Ability to accommodate the existing tapered board geometry; • Compatibility with the existing structural framing and fastening system; • Slip resistance and pedestrian safety;
• Initial material and fabrication costs;
• Long-term maintenance requirements and lifecycle costs; • Availability in the required dimensions and quantities; • Sustainability and responsible material sourcing;
• Compatibility with the existing character of Main Beach; and • Accessibility and surface continuity, including joint spacing and surface tolerance.
The Planning Commission’s feedback on the relative weight of these factors, particularly appearance, longevity, and sourcing, will inform the material selection.
Existing Fastening and Constructability:
One of the primary design considerations is the connection of the replacement decking to the existing boardwalk framing. The existing nominal 3-inch-thick boards provide sufficient material depth to accommodate countersunk bolts or other mechanical fasteners while maintaining adequate material around the connection. Staff will evaluate the fastening requirements associated with each alternative material and determine whether the existing fastening approach can be retained or whether it must be modified.
Thinner decking products would not provide sufficient depth to replicate the existing countersunk fastening arrangement and would require modifications to the underlying framing or use of an alternative fastening system. For this reason, material thickness and attachment requirements will be considered together when evaluating potential alternatives. The denser hardwood alternatives would also require pre-drilling and may require a different fastener type or spacing than the existing configuration.
Because the boards are individually tapered to follow the curved alignment of the boardwalk, each replacement board would be custom fabricated or field-cut. The density and weight of the 143
PC Staff Report
September 16, 2026
hardwood alternatives may increase fabrication time, drilling, and handling requirements relative to softwood or modified wood.
Construction would occur within the existing boardwalk footprint. Staging, access, phasing, and any temporary pedestrian detours or segment closures would be addressed during final design and through the construction documents, with the objective of maintaining public pedestrian access through Main Beach Park during construction to the maximum extent feasible. The final construction documents will include attachment details identifying board dimensions, fastener type, spacing, countersinking requirements, and connections to the existing framing.
ENTITLEMENT REVIEW PROCESS
The entitlement path for the project depends on the decking material selected and on whether the replacement results in a change to the exterior appearance of the boardwalk. If the work is limited to the replacement of deteriorated improvements for repair and maintenance, the project may qualify as a de minimis capital improvement project exempt from design review pursuant to LBMC Section 25.05.040(B)(2)(bb). If the selected material results in an exterior design change, the project may be eligible for administrative design review as a minor capital improvement project pursuant to LBMC Section 25.05.040(B)(3)(a)(xvii), which applies to alterations to existing facilities resulting in exterior design changes. Under either path, the project may not return to the Planning Commission for design review consideration. If administrative design review is required, the approval would generally be considered by the Zoning Administrator and would be subject to conditions of approval. Staff will confirm the applicable design review path once a material has been selected and the scope of work is defined in the construction documents.
Coastal Development Permit
The applicability of coastal development permit requirements depends on the scope of work ultimately proposed. Replacement of the existing decking in kind, using the same material and without alteration of the existing alignment, dimensions, framing, or foundations, may qualify for an exemption from coastal development permit requirements as repair and maintenance pursuant to LBMC Section 25.07.008(A)(3)(d). If the project instead replaces the existing decking with a material of a different kind, including alteration of the access stairs, framing, fastening system, or foundations, or involves the presence of mechanized construction equipment or construction materials on the sand, an exemption would not apply and a coastal development permit would be required before construction. Because the decking material has not been selected and the construction methods have not been established, no exemption determination is made at this time. Any determination will be made in writing prior to construction and will address the limits on the repair and maintenance exclusion set forth in Public Resources Code Section 30610(d) and Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Section 13252.
No coastal development permit application has been submitted, and coastal development permit requirements are not before the Planning Commission as part of this concept review. The project site is located within an appealable area of the Coastal Zone. Staff will coordinate with the California Coastal Commission to confirm the permit jurisdiction applicable to the boardwalk, 144
PC Staff Report
September 16, 2026
including whether any portion of the work lies within the Coastal Commission's retained permit jurisdiction. If the work is located entirely within the City’s permit jurisdiction, any required coastal development permit would be issued by the City under the certified Local Coastal Program and would be appealable to the Coastal Commission. If any portion of the work is located within the Commission’s retained jurisdiction, that portion would require a permit issued by the Commission, or the two permits could be consolidated pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 30601.3.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15262, the concept review is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under the statutory exemption for feasibility and planning studies. The project remains in the conceptual stage, no construction is authorized, and any feedback provided by the Planning Commission at this stage is non-binding and does not commit the City to a future action. The appropriate CEQA determination for construction of the project will be made prior to any City approval authorizing construction.

Authorize the City Manager to execute contracts with PowerFlex Systems for the design, construction and 10-year operation and maintenance period for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, including Corporation Yard $3,480,246, City Hall – General Fleet: $1,214,977, and City Hall – Police Department: $727,831;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Southern California Edison under the Charge Ready Transport Program to secure rebates for electric vehicle infrastructure, including Corporation Yard $630,334, City Hall – General Fleet: $145,146, and City Hall – Police Department: $114,675; and
3. Find that the proposed actions are exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301, 15303, 15304 and 15311.
SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
At its meeting on August 4, 2026, the City Council received a presentation from staff regarding the award of contract to PowerFlex, for installation of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at the Laguna Beach Corporation Yard and City Hall. The August 4, 2026, agenda report is provided without attachments as Attachment 1. After receiving a presentation, public comment, and discussing the item, City Council voted unanimously 5/0 to continue the item to the September 22, 2026, City Council meeting, directing staff to provide an analysis of cost of implementation compared to current costs, alternatives for more cost effectiveness, and potential public use options. This report provides additional information as requested by the City Council and responses to questions raised at the meeting are included as Attachment 2.
DISCUSSION
To identify the scope of work addressed by the recommended actions, the City’s consultant, ICF, conducted a detailed analysis of the City’s fleet operations, parking locations, and vehicle schedules to determine the type, number, and location of chargers needed. Upgrades to the City’s electrical infrastructure were identified, including transformer capacity, electrical panel sizes, and new conduit installations. These upgrades ensure that the new charging stations function reliably.
Staff issued an RFP in May 2025 for “Design, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)” at City Hall and the Corp Yard. The RFP sought a qualified contractor to provide turnkey services, including project management, site design, permitting, utility coordination, procurement of EVSE, installation, commissioning, and integration of a charging management system.
Nine proposals were received in response to the RFP. Following a comprehensive evaluation, PowerFlex Systems was selected as the preferred contractor. Staff recommends award of contract to PowerFlex for the 151

August 4, 2026 City Council Meeting
At its meeting on August 4, 2026, the City Council received a presentation from staff regarding the award of contract for installation of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at the Laguna Beach Corporation Yard and City Hall. After receiving the presentation, public comment, and discussing the item, the City Council voted unanimously 5/0 to continue the item to the September 22, 2026, City Council meeting, directing staff to provide an analysis of cost of implementation compared to current costs, alternatives for more cost effectiveness, and potential public use options.
Rebates and Incentives
To offset the cost of EV charging infrastructure, staff submitted applications to SCE for their Charge Ready Transport (CRT) Program. The applications covered the Corporation Yard and City Hall (General Fleet and Police Department). The applications have been approved by SCE. Following approval, SCE conducted detailed site visits and has now provided the City with draft contracts for each location (Attachments 6, 7, and 8). The rebates offered through the CRT program are as follows:
• Corporation Yard: $630,334
• City Hall – General Fleet: $145,146
• City Hall – Police Department: $114,675
Together, these rebates total $890,155, which will offset the City’s EV infrastructure costs. These incentives will support the installation of 47 EV chargers across the two sites as described below. The deadline to execute an agreement is December 31, 2026 or the rebate opportunity will be lost.
Transit and Community Services staff applied and have been awarded $250,000 through a Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) Zero-Emission Transit Bus Incentive Program. The Program supports the purchase of new battery-electric transit buses and eligible battery-electric bus chargers, with incentives of $200,000 for two (2) Class 4–6 buses, and $50,000 per charger.
Additional Trolley Charger Rebates total approximately $235,000. The recommended actions include 10 chargers that will support conversion of the City's trolleys. These chargers are eligible for an incentive of up to $23,500 per charger. Staff has confirmed with SCE that after the eligible chargers are purchased and installed, the City can apply for the rebates.
In addition to the CRT program, ICF has determined that following construction, the City could apply for the State of California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive (HVIP) Project. This incentive would be $1,110,000 and applies only to the medium and heavy-duty vehicles contemplated in the proposed recommended actions. This amount is subject to change if the scope of work is revised.
Additionally, following construction, the City can apply for the State of California’s Low Carbon Fuel 152
AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR FLEET ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
IMPLEMENTATION
October 13, 2026
Standard (LCFS) incentive. This incentive would be $1,462,941. This amount is subject to change if the scope of work is revised.
Cost Benefit Analysis
Staff consulted with ICF to prepare an updated cost benefit analysis based on current costs and available rebates/incentives. The detailed analysis is included as Attachment 9. The cost-benefit analysis compares the cost of transitioning the vehicles supported by the recommended actions against a “do-nothing” scenario in which the City continues to operate and replace these vehicles with comparable gasoline- and dieselpowered vehicles. In summary, the analysis demonstrates that over a 10-year period (expected EV useful life) the conversion from gasoline-and diesel- powered vehicles to electric vehicles as contemplated in the recommended actions will result in approximately $2.8 million in savings.
Public Chargers
There is a potential that some chargers included in the recommended actions would be available to the public. But this can only be accomplished where public access can be provided without redesigning the currently approved projects or affecting the existing SCE applications because making material modifications to the existing site plans would void the City's SCE applications and forfeit the CRT rebates.
The chargers planned at City Hall will be located behind a secured fence. Therefore, these chargers are not practical for public access. The chargers could, however, be made available to City employees, subject to City policies and operational requirements. To remain eligible for the CRT rebates, no site redesign is recommended because doing so would affect the existing SCE application.
The Corporation Yard presents a better opportunity for public charging. The current design includes five 30-kW dual-port DC fast chargers located within the public parking area. These chargers are being installed primarily to serve the City fleet, and fleet charging would remain their primary purpose. However, because they are already planned within the publicly accessible parking area, they could also be available to the public during periods when they are not needed by City vehicles. The 30-kW chargers are lower-power DC fast chargers and are not intended to compete with today's highest-powered public fast-charging stations.
However, they are particularly useful for visitors who are parked for one to several hours, providing a meaningful amount of charging during their visit.
PowerFlex has confirmed that they can upgrade the five chargers with credit card readers for a total incremental cost of $10,125. One potential operating approach would be to:
• Reserve the chargers for fleet use when needed:
• Allow public charging during defined window, such as 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and • Charge public users a per-kWh fee.
Assuming five public chargers, the estimated net revenue would be approximately $17,500 per year after accounting for electricity costs, payment processing, networking/software, and maintenance. 153

State Mandates
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) Regulation requires State and local government agencies to progressively transition applicable medium- and heavy-duty fleet vehicles to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). The regulation generally applies to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 8,500 pounds, as well as certain light-duty package delivery vehicles.
The City has opted to comply with the Option 2 Compliance Pathway. This pathway establishes requirements for the percentage of the City's fleet that must be zero-emission. Vehicles that are easier to electrify transition first, while more specialized vehicles are provided additional time. This provides the City with greater flexibility to determine which vehicles to transition and when, provided the overall fleet meets each applicable ZEV milestone. The table below summarizes the Option 2 Compliance Pathway.

Group 3: Sleeper-cab tractors and specialty vehicles 2030 2033 2036 2039 2042 Potential Consequences of Non-Compliance
Based on CARB’s ACF regulation, noncompliance with the State requirements can lead to penalties and CARB enforcement. However, the regulation does not state the monetary amount of those penalties.
The ACF Regulation does not establish a fixed fine for each instance of noncompliance. Instead, California law establishes a maximum penalty for each violation, and CARB determines the actual penalty case by case. What constitutes a violation depends on the requirement involved. For example, for failing to meet the ZEV-purchase requirement, CARB determines the number and nature of the violations. CARB then considers factors such as the seriousness and duration of the noncompliance, the number of vehicles involved, prior compliance history, avoided or delayed compliance costs, efforts made to prevent or correct the violation, cooperation with the investigation, and the financial burden of the penalty.
Typical enforcement begins when CARB identifies noncompliance through reporting, an audit, an inspection, data analysis, a complaint, or voluntary disclosure. CARB reviews the information and may issue a citation or Notice of Violation. The City would then be able to dispute CARB’s findings, correct the problem, and negotiate a resolution. Most cases are resolved through a settlement that may require the fleet to achieve compliance, follow a corrective-action or compliance plan, and pay a monetary penalty. If the parties cannot reach a settlement, CARB may pursue an administrative case or refer the matter for civil litigation and seek a court order requiring compliance.
Alternatives to Consider
The City Council may decide to proceed with all, some, or none of the proposed locations. Costs for each 154

site are as broken down in the table below. If the City Council decides not to proceed with a specific site, the transition to electric vehicles will be delayed. However, current CARB mandates only apply to medium and heavy duty vehicles meaning the City Hall improvements are not required to meet current mandates.

TOTAL COST $727,831 $1,214,977 $3,480,246 $5,423,054
Delaying all or portions of the fleet electrifications would affect SCE and other rebates/incentives, increase future project costs, delay vehicle procurement, and create potential regulatory compliance challenges.
Next Steps
Staff are now recommending the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute contracts with PowerFlex Systems, appropriate the required funding, and execute the three CRT rebate agreements with SCE. Once approved, charger installation is expected to be completed within 18 months.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended actions require $5,423,054.68 for PowerFlex to design and install the charging infrastructure at all three locations. The SCE Charge Ready program will offset this cost by $890,155. The project design, construction, and commissioning is proposed to be funded with $4,995,500 from the Future Parking Facilities and Mobility project (Account 6183130C-81000-C2216) and $427,554.68 from the Future City Facilities Funding project (Account 6163130C-81000-C1904). The additional cost of approximately $35,000 for software support and preventative maintenance will need to be budgeted in the annual Public Works operating budget following the completion of the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed actions are exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301, this exemption applies to the minor alteration of existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of previous use, 15303, this covers installation of small new equipment and utility structures in urbanized areas, 15304, this applies if the project requires minor trenching or grading to lay electrical conduit, and 15311, this covers the placement of minor structures accessory to existing facilities, such as parking lots. Alternatively, under California Government Code section 65850.7(b), cities and counties are required to approve EV charging station applications administratively through a nondiscretionary building permit. Ministerial projects are completely exempt from CEQA. 155

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
Attachment 1
157
AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR FLEET ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
IMPLEMENTATION
August 4, 2026
At its meeting on June 27, 2023, the City Council accepted the Fleet Electrification and Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Master Plan and directed staff to procure charging infrastructure. By leveraging the Southern California Edison (SCE) Charge Ready Transport Program (CRT) the City can reduce these incremental costs.
The proposed action prioritizes the installation of 47 electric vehicle chargers at two City facilities, City Hall and the Corporation Yard, to support the transition of 122 City vehicles to electric by 2030. The three contracts are structured as follows: (i) one for the Corp Yard; (ii) one for City Hall Police EV Chargers; (iii)one for City Hall non-Police EV Chargers. The total cost for PowerFlex to perform this work is $8,243,574.68. The City of Laguna Beach applied for and was approved to receive rebates through SCE’s CRT rebate program. This program provides support for utility-side upgrades, make-ready infrastructure, and charging equipment, particularly for medium- and heavy-duty fleet vehicles. The City was awarded a total of $890,155 in CRT rebates, including $630,334 for the Corp Yard and $259,821 for City Hall. These funds will reduce the City’s out-of-pocket costs for installing EV chargers and related infrastructure, supporting the near-term transition of 122 vehicles.
Staff is recommending the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute contracts with PowerFlex Systems in the total amount of $8,243,574.68 and to execute agreements with Southern California Edison under the Charge Ready Transport Program to secure rebates for City fleet EV infrastructure at the Corporation Yard and City Hall.
DISCUSSION
As of June 2024, the City of Laguna Beach operated a fleet of 185 vehicles, consisting of:
• 140 gasoline-powered vehicles
• 19 diesel-powered vehicles
• 25 propane-powered public transit trolleys
• 1 electric vehicle (a golf cart)
To guide the transition to zero-emission vehicles, the City consulted with ICF to analyze the City’s operational needs and provide recommendations for transitioning to electric vehicle replacements. The replacement process has been organized into two key milestones:
• Immediate Term (2026–2030): The initial phase of vehicle replacements, aiming to transition 130 City vehicles to electric models.
• Long-term (2026–2039): Full fleet electrification of City’s fleet.
A key component to support fleet transition is the development of charging infrastructure for the new electric vehicles. ICF conducted a detailed analysis of the City’s fleet operations, parking locations, and vehicle schedules to determine the type, number, and location of chargers needed. To enhance efficiency, dual-port chargers (capable of charging two vehicles simultaneously) were recommended as the most effective solution for the City. To handle the increased power demand from the chargers, upgrades to the City’s electrical infrastructure were identified, including transformer capacity, electrical panel sizes, and new conduit installations. These upgrades will ensure that the new charging stations function reliably. 158
