Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City to Accept (1)
Additional Preliminary Engineering Funds in the Amount of $569,248, and (2) Accept the Right-of-way Authorization Funds in the Amount of $150,000 for the McBean Bridge Project -CIP 353 and Augment the Relevant Revenue and Expense
Accounts in Federal Grants Fund 2980 in Fiscal Year 2026/27. (Vin Cay)
SUBMITTED BY:
Vin Cay
DEPARTMENT:
Engineering
DATE:
June 23, 2026
Item Number 13.B
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City to accept (1) additional Preliminary Engineering funds in the amount of $569,248, and (2) accept the Right-of-way authorization funds in the amount of $150,000 for the McBean Bridge Project -CIP 353 and augment the relevant revenue and expense accounts in Federal Grants Fund 2980 in Fiscal Year 2026/27.
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
The McBean Park Drive Bridge Replacement Project (Project) will include the demolition of the existing 148-foot-long, 43-foot-wide bridge. The replacement bridge will be approximately 220 feet long by 68 feet wide with three 12-foot traffic lanes, two 8-foot shoulders, and two 6-foot sidewalks. Construction will include relocation of utilities, temporary installation of water diversion structures, sediment removal and fill, and removal of vegetation and trees. Street improvements connecting to McBean Park Bridge will include portions of intersecting Ferrari Ranch Road and East Avenue.
On April 30, 2025, environmental clearance was obtained from Caltrans, which opens the door to begin the right-of-way process once authorization is received. Shortly after, staff submitted to Caltrans the request for additional Preliminary Engineering (PE) funds and authorization to proceed with Right-of-way (ROW) and release of respective funds. The request prompted further correspondence with Caltrans over the next several weeks as the requests were routed through the state’s system.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
After several iterations, the City received the additional PE funds in the amount of $569,248 and on May 11, 2026, subsequently, Caltrans provided authorization for $150,000 for right-of- way for the McBean Bridge Project.
STAFF REPORT
14 The authorized funds for preliminary engineering will be used for revisions to the bridge design, necessary changes to the placement of the bridge barrier rail to address new MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) requirements, updates related to the Bridge Type Selection Report and Caltrans Type Selection process/meeting/approval, and preparation of final engineering efforts, utility coordination, completion of updates to geotechnical report design updates of the traffic signals and electrical design, and final design for preparation of construction documents.
The authorized right-of-way (ROW) funds will be used to follow the ROW procedures to ensure property owners affected by the project are treated fairly, equitably and consistently.
This applies to relocation of individuals, businesses and utilities. The project will directly affect five parcels needing either a roadway and/or temporary construction easement. As for utility coordination, there are water, power, fiber and communication relocations that will be required.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Caltrans has determined the project has no significant impact on the environment as defined by NEPA (National Environmental Protection Agency), and that there are no unusual circumstances as described in 23 CFR 771.117(b). As such, the project is categorically excluded from the requirements to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement under NEPA and is included under the following:
23 USC 326: Caltrans has been assigned and hereby certifies that it has carried out the responsibility to make this determination pursuant to 23 USC 326 and the Memorandum of Understanding dated April 18, 2022, executed between FHWA and Caltrans. Caltrans has determined that the project is a Categorical Exclusion under: 23 CFR 771.117(d): activity (d) (13).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The McBean Bridge Project is estimated to have a total cost of $2,510,300 in preliminary engineering (PE) and right-of-way cost (ROW). The acceptance of the additional funds of $569,248 and $150,000 respectively will minimize the need for additional local funds. Any local funds that are not spent during PE/ROW will be rolled over into the construction phase of the project.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the updated Cooperative Agreement with the CAL-FIRE for Wildland Fire Protection for the Village 1 Annexation Area for FY 2026/27, in the total amount of $34,751.78 (Agreement No. 2CA07750).
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
On April 28, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 2015-076, authorizing the annexation of Village 1. The annexation was completed in August 2016, extending the City of Lincoln’s boundary east to Stardust Lane.
Since annexation, the following Tentative Maps have been approved within the Village 1 Specific Plan Area (V1SPA): Turkey Creek Estates, Enclave, Epick 1 and 2, Epick 3, La Bella Rosa, Walkup Ranch, and Hidden Hills. Each approval included a condition requiring participation in the development and funding of a Wildland Fire Management Program.
Because V1SPA is now within city limits, it is no longer part of CAL FIRE’s State Responsibility Area (SRA). The City is therefore responsible for securing wildland fire protection for the area through a cooperative agreement.
The Wildland Fire Protection Agreement for FY 2026-27 (Agreement No. 2CA07750) has been updated in coordination with CAL FIRE to reflect revised per-acre rates and administrative fees for the upcoming fiscal year. The total acreage covered remains 651.96 acres.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
STAFF REPORT
23 The City Council may approve a Cooperative Agreement with CAL-FIRE for wildland fire protection in the Village 1 Annexation Area. This agreement functions as an insurance-type mechanism, covering CAL FIRE’s costs to respond to wildland fires. Without it, the City would be financially responsible for any CAL FIRE wildfire response within V1SPA.
Protection Rate and Cost: The proposed CAL-FIRE protection rate for FY 2026-27 is $47.55 per acre, with a 12.10% administrative charge, for a total annual cost of $34,751.78 covering 651.96 acres. This reflects a decrease of $1,487.02 from the prior year’s agreement ($36,238.80 at $50.18/acre and 10.77% admin). The State calculates and finalizes rates prior to January 1 each year.
Developer Reimbursement: To meet this funding obligation, Village 1 developers entered into a reimbursement program with the City. Each developer’s share is calculated based on their total developable acreage plus an additional 40% to account for non-revenue-generating open space, multiplied by the applicable CAL FIRE rate and administrative fee. Payments are due annually by February 1 and continue until the City determines wildland protection is no longer required for the property.
Operating Plan: An annual Operating Plan between the City and CAL FIRE’s Nevada-Yuba- Placer Unit must be established by April 1 of each year. The Plan governs fire reporting, dispatch procedures, incident management, fire prevention, and related operational matters under the Agreement.

3. PURPOSE
This PLAN will provide the Unit Chief of CAL FIRE and the Fire Chief of City of Lincoln with a means for executing the AGREEMENT and is hereby attached as Exhibit B with appendix B-1 to that AGREEMENT.
4. DEFINITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
See AGREEMENT for definitions and descriptions of general terms. This PLAN does not allow either agency to operate outside the limitations in the AGREEMENT.
5. PROCEDURES
A. Fire Reporting/Reports- When City receives a report of a wildfire within the area of the AGREEMENT, it shall promptly notify the Grass Valley Emergency Command Center (ECC). Each agency will process their appropriate reports and make the information available, upon request of the other agency, in no more than 60 days.

Pa ge | 13
C. Fires within the area of the AGREEMENT- Each agency will maintain a preplanned initial attack response (PIAR) for fires within the area of the AGREEMENT. See Appendix B-1. CAL FIRE resources will be ordered according to the terms of the AGREEMENT through the ECC. Any augmentation of the preplanned CAL FIRE response, with CAL FIRE resources, shall be authorized by a CAL FIRE Incident Commander or Agency Representative. Augmentation of the preplanned response may require a post incident audit. The audit will seek to demonstrate that adjacent CAL FIRE Direct Protection Areas (DPA’s) were threatened, or that the augmentation was justified on a cost efficiency basis. Local government and private resources will be ordered through the ECC to ensure proper utilization of the Master Mutual Aid Agreement.
D. Mutual Aid- All initial attack resources will be considered mutual aid for the purpose of this AGREEMENT.
E. Initial Attack- Initial attack resources will always be based on the closest resources concept identified in the PIAR. See Appendix B-1.
F. Cause and Origin Investigations
When requested, CAL FIRE will provide staff to support cause and origin investigations for wildland fires within the covered acreage of this agreement. Any criminal or suspicious findings will be turned over to the responsible law enforcement agency for further investigation.
G. Move-Up & Cover-Station coverage will be exchanged between both agencies when appropriate. To prevent long-term coverage problems to either agency, the covering agency’s engines will be replaced with the covered agency’s resources as soon as it is practical to do so.
H. Fire Information: Unified Command-
1. Both agencies will enter into a unified command structure to manage the incident by establishing a common set of incident objectives and strategies.
This will be accomplished without losing or abdicating agency authority, responsibility, or accountability. A Unified Ordering Point will be identified and established.
2. Representatives of both agencies will meet as needed to discuss procedures governing and locations of potential Information Centers. Both agencies will strive to maintain a roster of certified Public Information Officers for use during emergencies.
3. The Unified Command will determine which agency will provide the Lead Information Officer. Normally, it will be the agency with the greatest commitment of resources on the incident.

2. Protection/Planning Issues-Although the responsibility for enforcing fire safe ordinances pertaining to improvements in wildland areas within the TOWN limits is the responsibility of City, a CAL FIRE representative will be available upon request to comment on these issues and assist in the enforcement of related ordinances.
3. Hazard Reduction Inspections
a. Home Inspection – CAL FIRE will work directly with City to enforce Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 4291, 4446, 4442, 4442, 4123, or the California Fire Code sections when applicable.
B. RESPONSIBILITY

Contract Number 2CA07750
Pa ge | 15
CAL FIRE and City personnel will, in the performance of their duties, give full consideration to the prevention of fires and public education. Both agencies will allow staff to establish attainable fire prevention goals.
C. EXISTING AND PROJECTED DEMAND

1. Increased recreational use.
2. Increased residential and commercial development.
3. Increased utilization of vacation residences.
4. Industrial activity.
D. OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the fire prevention plan is the reduction of fire suppression expenditures and damages from human-caused fires. The secondary objective is a current and comprehensive public education program for fire safety awareness and code enforcement.
E. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Both agencies will actively pursue public awareness programs through the following:
1. Public Education
a. School programs, ages K-12
b. Roadside sign program
c. Timely newspaper articles concerning fire awareness

1. Burning Permit Issuance
The City has the responsibility of issuing burn permits within the City limits and the area of the AGREEMENT. Both agencies will agree to and establish burn permit guidelines by April 1 of each year. The guidelines will follow those established by CAL FIRE to ensure consistency in the burn programs in both the City of Lincoln and areas adjacent to CAL FIRE.
2. Suspension of Permit Procedures
The suspension of burning permits in the area of the AGREEMENT will be directly related to the burning permit suspension procedures outside the area of the AGREEMENT to ensure area-wide consistency. Suspensions will be based on input from CAL FIRE and City.

Item Number 13.E
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council adopt two resolutions:
Approving Annexation No. 29 (Stardust 78) into the City of Lincoln Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 (City Maintenance Services)
Approving Annexation No. 17 (Stardust 78) into the City of Lincoln Community Facilities District No. 2018-2 (Public Services)
The CFD No. 2018-1 (City Maintenance Services) (“CFD No. 2018-1”) special tax will be levied annually to fund the maintenance of City infrastructure such as landscaping, parks, open space, streetlighting, street maintenance, traffic signals, and stormwater quality and drainage facilities. The CFD No. 2018-2 (Public Services) (“CFD No. 2018-2”) special tax will be levied annually to fund City services such as police and fire protection.
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
Background on the Stardust 78 Project:
On July 23, 2024, the City Council approved the Stardust 78 project (“Project”) Small Lot Tentative Subdivision Map under Resolution No. 2024-159. The Project will include the construction of 302 detached single-family residential homes, passive open space, stormwater swales, and landscaping area. The Project is located south of McBean Park Drive and just west of Stardust Lane.
The Conditions of Approval for the Project require the property owner to mitigate their project’s financial impact on the City’s park, open space, streetlighting, street, landscape, stormwater facilities, and police and fire protection services. To satisfy these conditions of approval for the
STAFF REPORT
79 Project, the property owner requested the City assist with annexing the Project into CFD No. 2018-1 to mitigate their project’s financial impact to the City’s park, open space, streetlighting, street, landscape, and stormwater facilities budgets and CFD No. 2018-2 to mitigate their project’s financial impact on City police and fire protection services.
Background on CFD No. 2018-1:
On October 9, 2018, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Formation to form CFD No. 2018-1 and approved Ordinance 979B authorizing the levy of CFD No. 2018-1 special taxes.
CFD No. 2018-1 was created to provide a financing mechanism to fund the annual maintenance of City infrastructure such as landscaping, parks, open space, streetlighting, street maintenance, and stormwater quality and drainage facilities. The CFD No. 2018-1 tax is separated into two components, “Citywide Services” and “Localized Services.” The improvements to be funded under Citywide Services include costs associated with Community Parks, Regional Parks, Major Roadway Streetlighting and Traffic Signals, Stormwater facilities, Major Roadway Landscaping, and Open Space areas. The improvements to be funded under Localized Services include costs associated with Neighborhood Parks, Neighborhood Landscaping, Local Street Maintenance, Local Streetlighting, and Localized Stormwater Improvements.
CFD No. 2018-1 was formed with the Twelve Bridges Village 11 development as the initial boundaries of the district. The approved CFD No. 2018-1 Boundary Map also includes a future annexation area which is contiguous to the City’s sphere of influence. As each project is annexed into CFD No. 2018-1, it will be assigned a tax zone to fund the development’s share of Citywide Services and Localized Services. Costs associated with annexations into CFD No. 2018-1 are paid by the developer(s) for each project. CFD No. 2018-1 is currently comprised of the following twenty-two (22) tax zones encompassing thirty (30) separate projects:
Tax Zone 1 – Twelve Bridges Village 11
Tax Zone 2 – Twelve Bridges Villages 2A, 2B, and 2C
Tax Zone 3 – Independence
Tax Zone 4 – Lakeside 6 (Phases 7 & 8)
Tax Zone 5 – Twelve Bridges Village 1
Tax Zone 6 – Education Foundation
Tax Zone 7 – Lincoln Crossing Village 11
Tax Zone 8 – Twelve Bridges Village 10
Tax Zone 9 – Cresleigh Grove
Tax Zone 10 – Twelve Bridges Village 25
Tax Zone 11 – Meadowlands
Tax Zone 12 – Turkey Creek Estates
Tax Zone 13 – Esplanade at Turkey Creek
Tax Zone 14 – Fullerton Ranch
Tax Zone 15 – Lincoln Meadows
Tax Zone 16 – 871 Sterling Parkway, East 10th Street, 1401 Aviation Blvd, 583 F Street, Auburn Ravine Center, Twelve Bridges Arco BP, and Ferrari Pavilion Tax Zone 17 – Twelve Bridges Village 4A and 4B
Tax Zone 18 – Twelve Bridges Village 3A and 3B, Magnolia Village, and Hidden Hills Tax Zone 19 – Twelve Bridges Village 27A and 27B
Tax Zone 20 – Joiner Ranch East
Tax Zone 21a – Liberty at Lincoln Phase 1
Tax Zone 21b – Liberty at Lincoln Phase 2
80 Tax Zone 22 – Peery Property Phase 1
Prior to tonight’s City Council meeting, the property owner for the Project executed the attached Unanimous Approval Form for annexation to CFD No. 2018-1. This form constitutes unanimous approval and a unanimous vote by the property owner in favor of annexing their property into CFD No. 2018-1 including the subsequent annual levy of special taxes to mitigate the Project’s financial impact on the City’s parks, open space, streetlighting, street, landscape, and stormwater facilities budgets.
If approved by City Council, the Project will be Annexation No. 29 and Tax Zone No. 23 of CFD No. 2018-1.
Background on CFD No. 2018-2:
On October 9, 2018, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Formation to form CFD No. 2018-2 with the Independence project (Tax Zone 1), via Ordinance 980B. CFD No. 2018-2 authorizes the annual levy of a special tax on parcels located within the CFD No. 2018-2 boundaries to mitigate their financial impact on the City’s police and fire protection services budgets.
At the time of CFD No. 2018-2 formation, the following determinations were made:
The minimum level of service standard is 0.85 police officers and 0.66 fire fighters for every 1,000 City residents.
The CFD No. 2018-2 special taxes shall only be applied to new residential projects.
Prior to the annexation of new projects into CFD No. 2018-2, an analysis will be performed to establish the appropriate CFD special tax rates based on the financial impact that different types of residential projects have on the City’s police and fire protection services budgets.
Implementation of the annual maximum tax escalator shall be the lessor of 1) the combined percentage increase, if any, in the City of Lincoln General Fund Operating Budget for police and fire services, or 2) 4%.
Since formation, staff continued analyzing the financial sustainability of CFD No. 2018-2 with a maximum tax escalator of 4% and determined that, except for certain infill projects, the maximum tax escalator of 4% does not completely offset the financial impact to police and fire protection services created by new residential projects in the City. With additional subdivisions being constructed, there will be an increased need for public safety personnel, resulting in a greater increase in expenditures, which exceed the 4% maximum tax escalator. For example, from Fiscal Years 2018-19 to 2019-20, total City public safety expenditures increased 8%. To avoid a reduction of service levels or required increased support from the General Fund, on October 27, 2020, City Council approved an annual maximum tax escalator of Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 3% for the first annexation to CFD No. 2018-2.
On April 14, 2026, the City Council approved an update to the CFD No. 2018-2 special tax methodology to establish a more uniform maximum special tax levy across tax zones. This approach is intended to promote equity across development projects while ensuring that special tax rates remain aligned with the City’s cost of providing municipal services. The approach is based on an analysis of the financial impact (the “Financial Impact Analysis”) future residential projects have on police and fire protections services, which included a review of projected home sales prices, City’s share of ad-valorem property taxes, sales tax, and 81 public safety demands. CFD No. 2018-2 is currently comprised of the following eleven (11) tax zones encompassing sixteen (16) separate projects:
Tax Zone 1 – Independence, Magnolia Village, 583 F Street, and Joiner Ranch East Tax Zone 2 – Cresleigh Grove
Tax Zone 3 – Twelve Bridges Village 25
Tax Zone 4 – Meadowlands
Tax Zone 5 – Turkey Creek
Tax Zone 6 – Esplanade at Turkey Creek
Tax Zone 7 – Lincoln Meadows
Tax Zone 8 – Twelve Bridges Village 4A/4B, 3A/3B, and 27A/27B Tax Zone 9 – Hidden Hills
Tax Zone 11 – Peery Property Phase 1
Tax Zone 12 – Liberty at Lincoln Phase 1
Please note, the Liberty at Lincoln Phase 1 project was originally annexed as Tax Zone 10 and was subsequently de-annexed and annexed again as Tax Zone 12 on July 8, 2025.
Prior to tonight’s City Council meeting, the property owner for the Project executed the attached Unanimous Approval Form. The executed Unanimous Approval Form is on file with the City Clerk. This form constitutes unanimous approval and a unanimous vote by the property owner in favor of annexing their property into CFD No. 2018-2 including the subsequent annual levy of special taxes to mitigate the Project’s financial impact on the City’s police and fire protection services budgets.
If approved by City Council, the Stardust 78 project will be Annexation No. 17 and Tax Zone 13 of CFD No. 2018-2.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
The improvements to be funded under the CFD No. 2018-1 Citywide Services include costs associated with Community Parks, Regional Parks, Major Roadway Streetlighting and Traffic Signals, Stormwater facilities, Major Roadway Landscaping, and Open Space areas. The improvements to be funded under the CFD No. 2018-1 Localized Services for the Project consist of the Project’s share of anticipated maintenance for Neighborhood Landscaping, Local Streetlighting, Local Street Maintenance, and Localized Stormwater Improvements. The estimated budget (in Fiscal Year 2026-27 dollars) for the Citywide and Localized Services related to the Project, including reserve collection, is as follows:
Citywide Maintenance Services
Community Parks $20,104.14 Landscape Maintenance (Arterial Roadways) $30,399.32 Open Space $22,556.38 Regional Parks $24,516.36 Streetlighting (Arterial Roadways) $2,941.48 Traffic Signals (Arterial Roadways)
$2,941.48
$103,459.16
Localized Maintenance Services
82 Landscape Maintenance $37,832.22 Stormwater Maintenance $1,528.57 Street Maintenance $32,696.21 Streetlighting
$5,732.15
$77,789.15
Therefore, the proposed CFD No. 2018-1 maximum special tax rates for a developed single- family residential parcel within the Project are summarized below.
Citywide Services - $342.58/ Single-Family Parcel (in Fiscal Year 2026-27 dollars) Localized Services - $257.58/ Single-Family Parcel (in Fiscal Year 2026-27 dollars)
For Tax Zone 13 of CFD No. 2018-2, residential projects are further broken down into Single- Family Low Density Residential (LDR), Single-Family Medium Density Residential (MDR), Single-Family High Density Residential (HDR), and Multi-Family Residential (MFR) as defined in the City’s General Plan. The Financial Impact Analysis resulted in the following CFD No. 2018-2 maximum special tax rates for the Project to mitigate additional demand on the City’s police and fire protection services:
Residential
Intensity
CFD Tax Zone 13
(Stardust 78)
Low Density Residential
$491.80 /Residential Unit
Medium Density Residential
$491.80 /Residential Unit
High Density Residential
$347.35 /Residential Unit
Multi-Family Residential
$309.52 /Residential Unit
Undeveloped Parcels
$0.00 /Parcel
The Stardust 78 project consists of 302 detached Single-Family LDR Units and therefore is expected to generate approximately $148,524 (in Fiscal Year 2026-27 dollars) in annual CFD No. 2018-2 special tax revenue.
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 CFD Nos. 2018-1 and 2018-2 maximum annual special tax rates described above will be adjusted each fiscal year based on the annual change (February to February) in the Consumer Price Index plus 3%. Staff will monitor expenditures and CFD funding over time and can tax below the maximum annual special tax rates in any given fiscal year if appropriate.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, 21000 et seq., “CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c), existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities and section 15301(h), maintenance of existing landscaping, native growth, and water supply reservoirs.
Since this project will continue to maintain existing facilities, no further environmental analysis is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Project will increase required levels of maintenance associated with the parks, open 83 space, streetlighting, street maintenance, landscape, and stormwater facilities throughout the City as well as increase demand on the City’s police and fire protection services. If annexed into CFD No. 2018-1, the Stardust 78 project will provide approximately $181,248 in annual revenue to mitigate additional costs associated with parks, open space, streetlighting, street maintenance, landscape, and stormwater facilities throughout the City. If annexed into CFD No. 2018-2, the Stardust 78 project will provide approximately $148,524 in annual revenue to mitigate additional costs associated with the City’s police and fire protection services.
Costs associated with the annexation into CFD No. 2018-1 and CFD No. 2018-2 are paid for by the developer(s). The CFD No. 2018-1 special tax will be levied annually to fund maintenance services and the CFD No. 2018-2 special tax will be levied annually to fund police and fire protection services.
Staff will monitor the maintenance and services costs over time and fund balances (including the reserve balances) to evaluate the fiscal health of the tax zones for each District. If at some point in the future the annual revenue and reserve balances are more than adequate to fund the services associated with CFD No. 2018-1 and CFD No. 2018-2, the City can tax below the maximum rates.
The City will be responsible for the maintenance of public water, sewer, and drainage infrastructure, in addition to the improvements to be maintained by CFD No. 2018-1, Tax Zone

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution authorizing (1) the City to accept Preliminary Engineering funds in the amount of $36,000 and augment the relevant revenue and expense accounts in Federal Grants Fund 2980 in Fiscal Year 2026/27 (2) the creation of CIP 724 – McBean Park Drive Improvements, and (3) a budget augmentation of $4,000 from the unencumbered Fund 2210 to CIP 724.
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a federally funded, data-driven program that helps state and local agencies reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads by funding proven roadway safety improvements. HSIP is typically administered through Caltrans and supports projects such as intersection upgrades, pedestrian crossings, signal improvements, signing and striping, etc.
In 2021 the City applied for HSIP funds to be used for pedestrian improvements near McBean Park. The original application included crosswalks on D Street, B Street, East Avenue, and 3 rd
Street.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
On July 2, 2024, the City was awarded $36,000 in state funds for Preliminary Engineering to
STAFF REPORT
138
support the design of safety improvements near McBean Park. Since that time, staff has been refining the conceptual design to better address current priorities and concerns within the original project area. These priorities focus on pedestrian and bicyclist improvements that more directly enhance access to McBean Park, rather than improvements on adjacent residential streets. The project will be formally rescoped to reflect these adjustments. The revised concept will remain consistent with the original intent of improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety near McBean Park. The recommended action is consistent with the City grant policy and allows the project to move forward with design.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Acceptance of Preliminary Engineering funds does not itself result in a physical change to the environment. Environmental review for the proposed project will be completed as part of project development, and the project is anticipated to qualify for the applicable CEQA exemption and/or NEPA categorical exclusion. Final environmental determination must be made based on the ultimate project scope and site-specific conditions before construction authorization.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Local funds will be used to provide the required match for the state funds during both the Preliminary Engineering and Construction phase. The total construction cost has not yet been determined; however, the project is currently estimated at less than $300,000. The required local match for construction will be adjusted accordingly once state construction funds are awarded.

SUBJECT:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Animal Control Contract Renewal with Placer County and an augmentation to the Police Department Professional
Services Account within the General Fund 1000 in the amount of $170,779. (Sean Scully)
SUBMITTED BY:
City Clerk
DEPARTMENT:
City Manager's Office
DATE:
June 23, 2026
Item Number 13.G
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a three-year contract with the County of Placer for an amount not to exceed $1,412,339 billed quarterly, for animal control and enforcement services. Staff further recommends City Council direct the City Manager and Chief of Police immediately research and return to the Council with amended or alternate service delivery options for animal control due to the increased cost of service.
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
The City of Lincoln currently maintains an Animal Control Services Agreement with Placer County. The current contract expires June 30, 2026. Placer County has presented a contract (attached) to the City of Lincoln for a term of three years, beginning July 1 st
, 2026 and ending
June 30, 2029. The agreement addresses both field services and sheltering. The field services component includes responding to calls for service from citizens and staff on a variety of animal related incidents. The sheltering component includes maintaining the care, sheltering and adoption for injured, stray and abandoned animals that are found within the City of Lincoln.
Generally, Placer County Animal Control has an Animal Control Officer in or near the City of Lincoln during normal business hours. The Animal Control Officer responds to and investigates animal related incidents in the City. Types of incidents include, but are not limited to animal bites, loose animals, deceased animals, and noise complaints. Placer County Animal Control also transports to their facility in Auburn any animals turned directly into the Lincoln Police Department. Animal Control Officers will respond after hours in the event of emergencies.
In April, Placer County contacted the City of Lincoln to discuss renewal of Animal Services for
STAFF REPORT
144
a three-year term. The proposed cost for services in total for the three-year term $1,412,339.
As noted in the agreement; t
his amount is meant to be a maximum and allows for flexibility to include the annual CPI subject to an annual adjustment based on the California Department of
Industrial Relations Consumer Price Index – California, for all Urban Consumers Increase up to a maximum of 10%. Changes to this maximum contract amount due to an increase in pro-rata share shall be memorialized in a subsequent amendment.
The average cost per year
will be approximately $470,779 yearly.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
The proposed services offered within the agreement are consistent with the previous agreement.
The quality of service provided during the current term has been satisfactory.
Placer County Animal Control has been responsive to Police Department requests and the requests of citizens. The Police Department has not been made aware of any significant citizen complaints regarding animal control services, nor have we fielded any citizen complaints regarding Animal Control staff.
With that said, the proposed cost for the services has increased significantly (approximately 60%) over the past agreements, the average yearly increase is approximately $189,443. Staff had a number of substantive conversations with Placer County staff regarding the reasoning for the increase. Some of the increase is attributed to an increase in Animal Control Officer field time (activity) over the past contract period as compared to the contract period prior to that (approximately a 29% increase between FY '21-'23 and FY '23-25). Additionally, total animal care days at the shelter increased from approximately 8,625 in FY '21-23 to 9,385 in FY '23-'25 (approximately an 8% increase). An additional factor that has led to the increase is that a larger regionally located jurisdiction that was a participating entity receiving services from Placer County has chosen not to renew their agreement and therefore will not be participating to the overall cost sharing moving forward which has led to a larger financial burden on the remaining participating entities for the service.
Regardless of the justification, staff acknowledges that the significant increase may not be sustainable or practical on a long-term basis for the City of Lincoln. Additional alternatives to the agreement have been evaluated at a preliminary level. Extensive research has been conducted by the Police Department regarding alternative avenues for animal services including consultation with other area agencies to contract for the service. Thus far, no other geographically relevant agencies are able or interested in providing the service on a contract basis at this time. Alternatives have been evaluated in relation to this service many times in the past, during those efforts it has been consistently determined that most alternatives would have likely been more expensive than the agreement with Placer County at the time.
However, given the rising costs, staff believes that a full analysis of standing up and operating an internal animal services/control unit under the Police Department is now prudent due to the growing size and scale of the community. This analysis will need to include costs associated with personnel, supervision, legal compliance, training, equipment, licensing etc. Staff estimates that it will take a number of months to give Council a full view of internal and alternate external models. As such, staff recommends approving the attached agreement with Placer County to ensure no service disruptions occur to the community regarding this critical service.
When staff returns with a comprehensive report and recommendation on alternative service (if that alternative service proves to be efficient and economical) and if Council directs a change 145
to providing this service the contract allows for either party to terminate the agreement without cause with a 30-day notice. Additionally, it should be noted that staff has discussed meeting with Placer County again in the near term to determine whether there are amendments to the contracted services or cost saving measures that could be incorporated by amendment to this agreement. Staff intends to explore these options with Placer County staff within the next 2-3 months.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract would result in an increase of approximately $170,779 in the current 25-27 biennium budget and will require a budget augmentation to the Police department professional services account within the General Fund 1000. If Lincoln remains in contract for the totality of the 3 year agreement, future year cost will be incorporated into the standard general fund budget.

DEPARTMENT:

DATE:

Item Number 15.B
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following resolutions:
1 .
Adopt a Resolution declaring an election to be held on November 3, 2026; requesting the Placer County Board of Supervisors to consolidate the election with any other election conducted on said date; and requesting election services by the Placer County Clerk; and
2 .
Adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of a ballot measure to the City of Lincoln qualified voters to approve a local One Cent (1¢) sales tax for general City revenue purposes.
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
The Elections Code requires the governing body of the local agency to issue a resolution calling the election and, if desired, request the County Board of Supervisors to consolidate the General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election being held on the same date and conducted by the County Registrar of Voters.
In the City of Lincoln (“City”), members of the City Council are elected during alternating even years. The following seats are scheduled to expire in December 2026: Councilmember – District 1 and Councilmember – District 2. The next General Municipal Election is scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026, of which such positions will be voted upon.
In addition to voting on the City Council vacancies, a proposed Measure has been drafted for
STAFF REPORT
159
the November 3, 2026, election that would establish a One cent (1%) local transactions and use tax, generating an estimated $6 million annually in locally controlled revenue. The Measure is proposed as a general tax, so the funds could legally be used for any governmental purpose. However, throughout the community outreach process, the City has consistently communicated its commitment to utilizing these funds primarily to improve and sustain public safety services.
The City conducted multiple community surveys to ascertain priorities for the potential revenue from the Measure. Respondents consistently ranked public safety needs as the highest and best use of the additional funding, including preventing reductions to existing public safety services. Community members have also expressed strong support for expanding emergency response capabilities, particularly through the addition of Advanced Life Support (ALS) services within the Fire Department, which would require additional personnel, training, and equipment. Increased police staffing has also been identified as a major community priority.
In addition to public safety, residents have expressed significant interest in maintaining safe spaces for children and families, including potential support for parks, recreation, and library services. Infrastructure maintenance, including street and pothole repair, has also been discussed as an important community need.
Over the past year, the City Manager has conducted numerous educational presentations and informational meetings with community groups, stakeholders, and residents regarding the City’s current financial condition and service needs. These discussions have included relaying that the City’s General Fund has been operating with a structural deficit for several years, along with the community’s desire for enhanced public safety services. The City has also distributed informational mailers regarding the City’s financial challenges and service needs.
Additionally, the Police Chief and Fire Chief have informally met with community members and stakeholder groups to discuss current service levels, operational challenges, and community priorities related to police and fire protection services.
Another recurring theme throughout the outreach process has been the community’s desire for transparency and accountability regarding any revenue generated by the Measure, including public disclosure of expenditures and independent financial oversight.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
The City will hold a General Municipal Election on November 3, 2026. Adoption of the first attached resolution will call for the election to be held in the City and request the services of the Placer County Clerk and the Board of Supervisors to conduct the election. Said election scheduled for November 3, 2026, shall be to vote to fill vacancies for the following two City Council members:
Holly Andreatta
District 1 Councilmember
Four Year/Expired
Ben Brown
District 2 Councilmember
Four Year/Expired
The City Clerk, serving as the Elections Officer for the City of Lincoln, will distribute candidate packets for Lincoln residents interested in running for City Council beginning in mid-July. A candidate for City Council must be a resident and a registered voter in the City of Lincoln and reside in one of the two districts up for election (Districts 1 and 2). 160
If the second attached resolution is adopted, a vote on the Measure will also occur during the election scheduled for November 3, 2026. The Measure is being proposed to provide funding to be used only for local City services. The Measure proposes a general tax and requires a majority (50% plus 1) of votes cast by City’s qualified voters to approve the Measure. The Measure is not a tax on homes or property, and a large portion of locally controlled revenue generated by the measure will be paid by visitors to the City who will pay their fair share to use City services. Further, the Measure requires strict accountability provisions, including citizens’ oversight, public disclosure of all spending, and annual independent financial audits.
The proposed resolution contains the information regarding the actions necessary to place the Measure on the ballot at the Election, including setting out the ballot question. The question that voters will be asked at the election on November 3, 2026, is:
Shall the measure to prevent cuts to public safety services (911 emergency/medical response, police/fire protection, qualified police/firefighters); add life-saving equipment for medical emergencies; keep public area/streets/parks safe and clean; and other general government uses, by establishing a one-cent sales tax, providing $6,000,000 annually, with all funds spent locally until ended by voters, with a citizen oversight committee, and annual audit/public spending disclosure, be adopted?
Pursuant to Elections Code sections 9282 and 9285, when a measure is placed on the ballot by the City Council, the City Council or a member or members of the legislative body authorized by the City Council, or an individual voter who is eligible to vote on the measure, or a bona fide association of citizens, or a combination of voters and associations, may file a written argument for the measure and a rebuttal to any arguments against the measure. An argument shall not exceed 300 words in length. A rebuttal argument cannot exceed 250 words in length.
The proposed resolution directs the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the Measure showing the effect of the Measure on the existing laws and the operation of the Measure pursuant to Elections Code section 9280.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost estimate for the 2026 election is estimated at $78,000 and is included in the proposed FY 2025/27 Biennium Budget, under account 60002030-50400 (Internal Services Fund - Professional Services). The City will pay actual costs based on the number of registered voters at the time, once the final invoice is received from Placer County.
If the qualified voters of the City approve the Measure, it would provide an estimated $6,000,000 annually in revenue
