SUBJECT: Adopt the Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030. (Daniella Stepek)
SUBMITTED BY: Daniella Stepek
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
DATE: July 28, 2026
Item Number 15.A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that City Council adopt the Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 and direct staff, in collaboration with the Economic Development Committee, to implement the initiatives and strategies identified in the Action Plan.

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:

The Economic Development Committee (“EDC”) served as the City of Lincoln’s (“City”) primary body for economic development efforts prior to the hiring of dedicated Economic Development staff. In its advisory role to the City, the EDC initiated the update of the Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan (“Action Plan”) as a result of two goal-setting sessions held in May 2023. The Action Plan established an economic development mission and vision and identified three priority areas, supported by more than 60 strategies:
• Business Support and Job Creation
• Revitalizing Downtown Lincoln
• Communications and Outreach
On August 22, 2023, the City Council approved the 2023–2028 Action Plan, which was subsequently revised to reflect the 2024–2029 planning period. Since adoption, the EDC, City Council, and City staff have implemented or initiated many of the strategies identified in the Action Plan.

Following the hiring of two Economic Development staff members, the next iteration of the Action Plan refines the broad scope into a more concise and implementable set of strategies with a planning horizon through 2030 and aligns with the City’s 2025–2027 Strategic Plan. In March 2026, the City selected Chabin Concepts to facilitate the strategic planning process for updating the Action Plan. Over the preceding several weeks, the consultants conducted oneon-one interviews with representatives from the City, Downtown Lincoln Association (“DLA”), Lincoln Area Chamber of Commerce (“Chamber”), and Placer Valley Tourism. Participants provided input on priorities, barriers to economic growth, near-term opportunities for the city, and the factors that distinguish Lincoln from neighboring communities.

STAFF REPORT
1953
Feedback from interviewees, including both existing and planned programs and strategic plans, informed the updated framework. The new Action Plan is organized around three pillars, each supported by six primary and six secondary focus areas intended to guide implementation:
• Business Development
• Business Retention, Expansion, and Creation
• Competitiveness and Business Climate
On May 13, 2026, the consultants presented the Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 to the EDC, City staff, and members of the public. Participants were guided through the plan’s framework, and additional feedback was requested prior to preparation of the final version for City staff review. To support accountability and ongoing implementation, the consultants also created an Implementation Workbook as a living tool to track progress, timelines, desired outcomes, tasks, and project leads.

FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:

The Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 provides a more focused and implementation-oriented framework for advancing the City’s near-term economic development priorities. The updated Plan aligns with the City’s existing 2025–2027 Strategic Plan and is intended to help staff prioritize projects, coordinate with partners, and track progress more effectively through the accompanying Implementation Workbook.

City staff and the EDC will review the Action Plan annually and discuss project updates quarterly.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of the Action Plan. However, implementation of specific strategies may require future funding. City staff will work with the City Council and the EDC through the budget process to identify and request appropriations, as needed, to support implementation.

Special recognition is extended to the Economic Development Committee for the significant volunteer leadership, project support, business engagement, and strategic guidance it has provided since its formation. Prior to the addition of dedicated economic development staff resources, the Committee played an important role in advancing economic development discussions, identifying opportunities, supporting local initiatives, and helping elevate economic development as a long-term City priority. The Committee continues to serve as an active advisory partner supporting Lincoln’s long-term economic vitality and competitiveness.

This Economic Development Action Plan update was informed through economic and market analysis, review of local and regional conditions, studies and reports, the existing Economic Development Plan, implementation discussions, and stakeholder interviews whose time, insight, and collaboration helped shape this framework and align it with Lincoln’s long-term economic and community priorities.

Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 4 | P a g e Introduction
The purpose of this Economic Development Action Plan
update is to align the City’s existing Economic Development Plan with the Lincoln City Council’s 2025–2027 Strategic Plan and current priorities related to long-term fiscal sustainability, more sustainable growth, economic vitality, infrastructure, and community capacity.

While Lincoln’s previous economic development efforts
established a broad and comprehensive foundation, this
update is intended to create a more focused and
implementation-oriented framework aligned with the City Council’s priorities over the next several years.

The update recognizes that economic development plays an important role in helping the City:
• strengthen long-term fiscal sustainability,
• increase local investment and revenue generation,
• support business growth and expansion,
• improve economic competitiveness, and
• maintain Lincoln’s quality of life and community
character as the community continues to grow.

Based on economic and demographic conditions, a review
of market conditions, and stakeholder input, the Action Plan organizes priorities into three Economic Development
Pillars and associated focus areas intended to guide
implementation, organizational alignment, and future
economic development activities.

Pillar 1: Business Development. Purpose is to drive new investment and revenue generation.

Pillar 2: Business Retention Expansion & Creation.

Purpose is to maintain and grow the existing base and
support new business creation.

Pillar 3: Competitiveness & Business Climate. Purpose is to position the City for future investment.

This framework is designed to help focus City efforts on areas most critical to achieving the City Council’s Strategic Plan priorities while remaining flexible as market conditions, opportunities, and community needs continue to evolve.
1958
Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 5 | P a g e Planning Process & Strategic Alignment
The planning process followed a three-step approach
intended to align economic conditions, stakeholder input, and City Council priorities into a practical and actionable strategy framework.

Step 1 — Where Are We Now?
The first phase focused on Lincoln’s current economicmarket realities, competitive position analysis, and review of local and regional trends. This work identified the key Headwinds, or challenges to be navigated, and Tailwinds, strengths and opportunities to leverage and build upon.

The economic analysis indicates Lincoln is evolving from a primarily residential community toward a more balanced
economy capable of supporting additional jobs,
1959
Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 6 | P a g e investment, services, and long-term revenue generation.

Appendix A1
Step 2 — Where Do We Want To Be?
The second phase focused on stakeholder engagement.

Several consistent themes emerged throughout the
process, including:

1. Attract job-producing industries, expand local
employment opportunities.

2. Activate the airport areas.

3. Capture retail leakage, attract higher-quality
commercial development.

4. Improve business support, City responsiveness.

5. Invest in infrastructure.

6. Move from reactive to proactive economic development implementation.

7. Strengthen downtown as a destination.

8. Preserve Lincoln’s small-town identity while supporting growth.

The second phase also focused on aligning City Council
priorities, stakeholder input, market realities, and economic data creating an alignment matrix to help define Lincoln’s economic development direction. Appendix B2
1 Appendix A. Where are We Now? Economic Scan, Workforce Commute Patterns, Industry Composition, Talent Pipeline Trends, and Retail Demand.

The process also reinforced the importance of aligning
economic development efforts with the City Council’s
Strategic Plan priorities, particularly those related to sustainable growth, revenue generation, infrastructure, downtown improvements, airport activation, and long-term community sustainability.

Step 3 — How Do We Get There?
The final phase translated the economic analysis,
stakeholder input, and City Council priorities into a focused Economic Development Action Plan organized around:
• a shared vision and mission,
• Economic Development Pillars,
• priority focus areas, and
• an implementation framework intended to guide
future economic development efforts.

The result is a targeted framework focused on the areas expected to have the greatest impact on Lincoln’s economic vitality, competitiveness, and long-term fiscal sustainability while remaining flexible as conditions and opportunities continue to evolve.

Support and referenced documents, briefings, matrices are included in the Appendix.

Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 7 | P a g e The Economic Development Action Plan
The Economic Development Committee noted during the stakeholder engagement process a clear and concise Vision and Mission statement were needed to help ground the Economic Development Action Plan with a shared understanding of where Lincoln wants to be and how the community intends to get there.

The Vision defines the community’s long-term direction and desired future position, while the Mission establishes the City’s ongoing role in supporting thoughtful economic growth.

Together, they establish the framework for the Economic Development Pillars, focus areas, and implementation strategies outlined in this Action Plan.

Vision
Lincoln is a distinctive and business-friendly community within the Greater Sacramento region where economic
growth strengthens our safe, historic small-town
character, quality of life and sense of community.

Thoughtful planning and a welcoming environment
attract business and investment. Strong private and
public partnerships are Lincoln’s foundation for
supporting entrepreneurship, developing local talent,
creating opportunities for future generations, and
building a resilient economy rooted in community
character and long-term prosperity.

Mission
Advancing thoughtful development that enhances Lincon’s quality of life and community character while fostering a business-friendly environment that encourages strategic investment, supports local entrepreneurship, creates diverse high-quality jobs, and drives sustainable economic growth.

Desired Outcomes

1. Increased job creation and local employment
opportunities

2. Expanded revenue generation and reduced sales tax
leakage

3. A defined portfolio of programs supporting business
growth and investment

4. Preserved economic differentiation within the region 1961
Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 8 | P a g e Economic Development Framework
After careful review and discussion, and suggested refinements, the Economic Development Committee accepted a threepillar framework that is reflected below. The framework is organized by implementation priorities, aligned with City resources, with the intention of guiding future economic development efforts. The three pillars are structured to work together.

The top two focus areas
within each pillar are
considered the City’s
primary implementation
priorities because they
are expected to have the
greatest impact on
achieving City Council
goals.

The shaded focus areas
represent important
ongoing activities that
require continuous
coordination with City
departments,
educational
institutions, business
organizations,
workforce partners, and
regional agencies.
1962
Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 9 | P a g e Pillar 1 — Business Development (Jobs & Revenue)
Why This Matters
Lincoln must capture jobs and revenue currently leaving the city and grow its long-term tax base through business
attraction, destination development, and investment-ready growth areas.

Primary Focus Areas
Commercial / Retail
Lincoln continues experiencing retail leakage and unmet commercial demand despite strong population and
household growth. Strategic commercial and retail
development can help:
• retain more local spending,
• strengthen sales tax generation,
• support neighborhood commercial services.

Focus areas may include:
• targeted retail recruitment,
• grocery and commercial attraction,
• support for investment-ready retail sites.

Airport / Industrial
The airport and surrounding industrial areas represent one of Lincoln’s most significant long-term economic
development opportunities.

The approximately 84-acre airport area provides
opportunities to:
• attract job-producing businesses,
• diversify the economy,
• strengthen traded-sector activity.

Key implementation areas include:
• airport activation planning,
• infrastructure and utility readiness,
• target industry identification.

Ongoing Focus Areas
Downtown
Downtown Lincoln plays an important role as:
• a community gathering place,
• destination area,
• small business environment.

Continued partnership with downtown organizations and
businesses will remain important to:
• activation,
• placemaking,
• business recruitment.

Sports & Visitation
Sports, recreation, and visitor activity represent secondary but meaningful economic opportunities. Lincoln’s parks, sports facilities, community events, and quality-of-life assets can help:
• increase visitor spending,
• support local businesses,
• strengthen destination activity,
• improve community visibility within the region.
1963
Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 10 | P a g e Pillar 2 — Business Retention, Expansion & Creation
Why This Matters
The fastest path to economic growth is supporting
businesses already operating in Lincoln and helping them expand, invest, and create jobs locally.

Primary Focus Areas
Business Accelerator
The City should continue exploring partnerships and
programs that support entrepreneurship, innovation, and business creation. Potential areas of focus include:
• Jessup and innovation partnerships,
• entrepreneurial support,
• and small business growth resources.

The long-term objective is to strengthen Lincoln’s
entrepreneurial ecosystem while supporting scalable local business growth.

Major Employer Engagement
Business retention and expansion efforts are critical to maintaining and growing Lincoln’s economic base. The City should continue proactively engaging major employers to:
• identify operational challenges,
• understand expansion opportunities,
• and support long-term investment decisions.

Business retention visits and ongoing employer engagement can also provide important real-time market intelligence for future planning and implementation.

Ongoing Focus Areas
Small Business Support
Small businesses remain foundational to Lincoln’s
economy and community identity. Ongoing coordination
with partner organizations and resource providers will
remain important to:
• technical assistance,
• permit navigation,
• financing resources,
• and entrepreneurship support.

Workforce Alignment
Workforce development is increasingly connected to longterm economic competitiveness particularly as the labor market tightens. Continue partnering with:
• educational institutions,
• workforce organizations,
• and employers,
To better align workforce training and career pathways with business and industry needs, particular attention should focus on:
• skilled trades,
• early and mid-career workforce gaps,
• high school pathways,
• and future workforce pipeline development.
1964
Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 11 | P a g e Pillar 3 — Competitiveness & Business Climate
Why This Matters
Lincoln competes in a regional market and must
differentiate itself to attract and retain business,
investment, and talent. Long-term competitiveness
increasingly depends on responsiveness, infrastructure
readiness, workforce alignment, investment certainty, and community identity.

Primary Focus Areas
Permitting Concierge / Process Improvement
Business responsiveness and development predictability
are increasingly important competitive advantages.

The City should continue to:
• improve permit tracking,
• increase project responsiveness,
• tell the business-friendly development experience
story.

The goal is not simply speed, but greater clarity,
predictability, and customer service.

Identity & Positioning
Lincoln’s small-town character, quality of life, and
community identity represent important economic
differentiators within the Greater Sacramento region.

Economic development efforts should lead:
• coordinated messaging,
• business marketing,
• destination positioning,
• and Lincoln’s regional identity.

The goal is to clearly communicate why businesses,
residents, and investors should choose Lincoln.

Ongoing Focus Areas
Workforce Strategy
Long-term workforce competitiveness will require
continued focus on:
• retention of working-age households,
• career pathway development,
• alignment between employers and educational
systems.

Infrastructure
Infrastructure readiness remains critical to economic
development implementation. The City should continue
evaluating:
• infrastructure constraints,
• site readiness,
• utility capacity,
• transportation improvements,
• funding mechanisms,
• and long-term infrastructure planning tools.

Infrastructure planning will remain closely connected to business attraction, industrial development, housing
growth, and long-term fiscal sustainability.
1965
Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 12 | P a g e Implementation Framework
This Economic Development Action Plan is intended to
function as a practical implementation framework rather than a static planning document. Appendix C is a one-page Economic Development Pillar graphic for easy reference for the Council and Committee.

Implementation will occur through:
1) City staff actions per focus areas,
2) City Council direction,
3) departmental coordination,
4) regional and community partnerships,
5) ongoing business engagement,
6) Economic Development Committee review and input.

Economic Development Implementation
Workbook
To support implementation, tracking, communication, and accountability, a companion Economic Development
Implementation Workbook is organized around the
Economic Development Pillars and focus areas.

The workbook is intended for staff to :
• maintain priorities and actions organized by pillar and focus area,
• document implementation activities and projects,
• identify timelines and responsibilities,
• track status and progress,
• support regular reporting and updates,
• and provide flexibility as priorities and opportunities evolve over time.

Designed to function as a living management and
implementation tool.

Economic Development Committee
Prior to the addition of dedicated economic development staff resources, the volunteer Economic Development
Committee played a significant leadership role in advancing economic development discussions, project support,
business engagement, and strategic initiatives within the community.

Through the dedication and continued involvement of
Committee members, the City was able to advance
important economic development efforts, strengthen
partnerships, elevate economic development as a City
priority, and help lay the foundation for many of the
strategies, projects, and initiatives that continue today.

As the City transitions toward a more implementationfocused structure supported by staff and this updated Action Plan, the Committee’s role continues as an
important Council-appointed advisory body supporting:
• implementation discussions,
• eyes and ears on the street and in the business
community,
1966
Lincoln Economic Development Action Plan 2030 13 | P a g e • business and stakeholder insight,
• identification of opportunities and barriers,
• review of priorities and progress,
• and communication between the business
community and the City.

The Committee remains an important partner in helping
support long-term economic vitality, organizational
alignment, and implementation continuity as the Action
Plan evolves over time.

Moving Forward
This Economic Development Action Plan is intended to
provide a focused and practical framework aligned with the City Council’s Strategic Plan priorities and Lincoln’s longterm vision for economic vitality, fiscal sustainability, and community character.

The plan recognizes that economic development is not
accomplished through a single project or initiative, but through consistent implementation, organizational
alignment, partnerships, and ongoing responsiveness to
changing market conditions and community needs.

The Economic Development Pillars and Focus Areas
identified in this Action Plan are intended to help guide City efforts toward the areas expected to have the greatest longterm impact on:
• investment,
• revenue generation,
• business growth,
• economic competitiveness,
• workforce development,
• destination activity,
• and overall quality of life.

Just as importantly, the Action Plan recognizes that no plan should simply sit on a shelf. Successful economic
development requires continued implementation,
communication, evaluation, and adjustment over time.

The Economic Development Implementation Workbook,
ongoing City Council direction, staff coordination,
Economic Development Committee involvement, and
continued business and community partnerships are
intended to help ensure the Action Plan remains active, measurable, and implementation-focused.

As Lincoln continues to grow and evolve, this framework will need to also evolve to those changes and shifts in the
economy and in the City.

Background Information

1. Where Are We Now?
This section summarizes the current economic conditions affecting Lincoln, including:
• Workforce commuting patterns
• Industry composition
• Talent pipeline trends
• Retail demand and consumer spending patterns
The data reinforces that Lincoln has strong population growth, income levels, and market potential, but remains heavily residential and local-serving in its economic structure. The analysis also begins identifies opportunities to better capture jobs, investment, and spending currently leaving the community.
1969
Project: City of Lincoln, Economic Development Update
Subject: Economic Conditions Summary (Data-Driven)
Lincoln’s economic data, attached, reflects a community with strong fundamentals, but a structure that is still evolving. The data consistently points to a residential-driven economy with clear opportunities to capture jobs, spending, and growth locally.

What the Data Tells Us

1. Lincoln is a Workforce Exporter with Untapped Potential • Nearly 20,000 residents commute out daily, compared to ~9,500 local jobs • A significant share of local jobs are filled by non-residents What this means: Lincoln has a large, active workforce base, but much of its economic activity (jobs, daytime spending, professional services) occurs outside the city.

2. The Economy is Stable but Primarily Local-Serving
• ~70% of employment is local-serving (retail, healthcare, education, services) • Traded sectors remain a smaller share of the economy
What this means: The economy is stable and population-supported, but growth is tied to housing rather than external job creation or industry expansion.

3. Talent Pipeline is Strong, with Near-Term Constraints • Growth in experienced workers (+15%) and youth pipeline (+14%) • Slower growth in prime working-age population (+6%)
What this means: Lincoln has a strong and growing talent base, particularly experienced workers, but may face short-term labor tightness in early- and mid-career roles.

4. Retail & Consumer Demand Signals Strong, Targeted Growth Opportunities • Median household income rising to ~$125K by 2030, supporting discretionary spending
• ESRI data shows above-average demand (MPI >100) in several key categories:
1) Dining & Restaurants
2) Entertainment & Experiences
3) Home Improvement & Services
4) Health & Wellness
5) Technology & High-Value Spending
6) Travel & Hospitality Behavior
1970

Proje ct: City of Linco ln, Economic Development Update Subject: Demographic s & Social Economics
Community Snapshot
• Population: ~55,000–59,000 (steady growth trend)
• Median Household Income: ~$108,000–$112,000 (above national avg) • Homeownership: ~83–84% (strong community stability)
• Median Home Value: ~$630,000–$650,000
• Unemployment: ~4.0–4.3% (moderate, trending with regional economy) • Poverty Rate: ~7–8%
Lincoln is a growing residential community within the Greater Sacramento region, known for high homeownership, stable households, and a rising consumer base.

Lincoln continues to expand, with population estimates indicating ongoing growth into 2026 (World Population Review).
• Population growth: ~3% year-over-year and strong overall trend since 2020 (Data USA). • Population by Age Cohorts
o Under 18 years: 24.1% of the population
o 18–64 years (working-age): 48.7%
o 65 years and over: 27.2%
o Larger share of seniors compared to national averages (senior share ~16–17% nationally) and a relatively smaller working-age share than many communities • Median household income: approximately $108,000–$112,000 — above national averages (Data USA).
• Homeownership is very high (around 83–84%) (Census.gov).

Lincoln functions as a suburban/community city anchored by a residential base, supportive of regional economic activity through its location near larger employment centers like Roseville and Sacramento. Its economic identity is tied to quality of life, housing, small business vitality, arts/culture/events, and local place-based assets such as open space and downtown character (City of Lincoln).

Population & Demographics
• Median age: early-to-mid 40s, with a significant proportion of residents 65+ (~27%) — indicating an aging population segment (Census.gov).
• Age Distribution
o Youth (Under 18) About one-quarter of Lincoln’s population is under 18 (~24%), reflecting a substantial family and youth presence.
o Working-Age Adults (18–64) Less than half of the population (~49%) falls in the traditional working-age bracket, which is lower than many regional peers. o Seniors (65+) More than one in four residents is 65 or older (~27%), which is a significantly higher share than the national average and signals strong importance of senior services, retirement income effects, and age-related planning. o Take aways on age distribution
o Workforce implications: Smaller working-age share may constrain local labor force participation and could influence priorities around jobs, transportation, and talent attraction.
1971

• Economic profile: A larger senior cohort can influence spending patterns (healthcare, services) and income composition (retirement, Social Security).
• Service needs: Greater share of seniors heightens importance of housing suitable for aging residents, healthcare accessibility, and mobility services.

Income & Employment
• Median household income: $108,000–$112,000 with relatively low poverty (~7–7.7%) (Data USA).
o Lincoln’s income (~$108K+) is notably above the broader Sacramento metro median (~$97K), indicating stronger wage/supporting household earnings relative to many neighboring communities.
o Compared with Placer County as a whole (~$112K–$115K), Lincoln is very close but modestly below the county median — meaning the city’s households earn nearly as much as the county average.
• Income sources are diversified and reflective of population o Work earnings (wages/salaries) likely make up the majority of household income, especially among working age households.
o Retirement and Social Security likely are a significant secondary component given Lincoln’s older population segment.
o Public assistance as a share of total income is probably small, reflecting relatively low poverty rates (~7–8%).
o Investment and business income likely contribute meaningfully in higher income brackets (many households >$150K+).
• Unemployment is moderate (~4–4.3%) but varies with broader economic trends (HomeSnacks).

Housing & Cost of Living
• High rate of homeownership (83–84%) and stable households (Census.gov). • Median home values around $628,000–$651,000 and rents around $2,080–$2,090/month (Data USA).
• Cost of living indices show housing remains a key driver of local expense pressures in the context of limited housing diversity (HomeSnacks).

Visitor/Regional-Linked Economic Activities
• Sports & Regional Tourism - Lincoln is part of the Placer Valley tourism region along with Roseville and Rocklin, marketed collectively to attract sports events, hotel stays, and tourism. (Wikipedia)
• Arts & Local Events - The City actively promotes open space, arts, culture, local food/wine/ale events, and downtown activities to bolster visitor and local spending. (City of Lincoln) • Nearby regional attractions (outside city but impactful) - Thunder Valley Casino Resort in nearby Placer County draws regional traffic and spending that can cross Lincoln’s economy. (Wikipedia)
Challenges in Employment Dynamics
• Limited large employer anchors within Lincoln itself — many residents work outside the city, limiting local job gravity.
• Workforce access can be constrained if high-quality jobs are located elsewhere without local expansion or sector diversification.
• Visitor-linked employment (e.g., tourism, sports events) is seasonal and may not provide longterm job stability without broader ecosystem support. 1972

These trends tell a story about both near-term workforce dynamics and the longer-term economic outlook of the community.

1. Strong future pipeline, but delayed payoff
A 14% increase in ages 0–19 is significant—it signals a growing talent pipeline. In the short term, increase demand for:
▪ Education infrastructure
▪ Childcare services
▪ Family-oriented housing

2. Modest growth in prime workers = potential near-term labor tightness The 6% growth in ages 20–39 (prime working and early career years) is relatively modest compared to other groups suggests:
▪ The core workforce isn’t expanding as fast as demand might require

3. Expansion of experienced workers = major opportunity The 15% increase in ages 40–59 is one of the most impactful insights. This group represents peak productivity, leadership, and earnings; and drives business ownership, management capacity, and tax base stability. This is a strong positive signal.

The community has a deep bench of skilled, experienced talent. There is opportunity to mentor younger workers and strengthen succession pipelines. There is a chance for higher household incomes and spending which boosts the local economy.

4. Slow growth in near-retirement population reduces immediate risk The 3% growth in ages 60–79 is relatively low, which means the community is not facing an immediate wave of retirements (even though area is known for retirement) and there is less shortterm pressure from workforce exits or dependency ratios.

Short-term (0–5 years) expectation:
▪ Potential labor shortages in early- and mid-career roles ▪ Strong economic stability driven by experienced workers ▪ Increased demand for family and youth services
Medium-term (5–15 years):
▪ A well-positioned workforce transition as today’s youth enter jobs ▪ Risk of a retirement cliff if the large 40–59 cohort exits without replacement Economic implications:
▪ Positive: strong earning base, leadership capacity, future workforce growth ▪ Risk: mismatch between current job demand and available prime-age workers ▪ Strategic need: talent attraction + retention + workforce development K-12 Enrollment Trends
Source: California Department of Education; DataQuest; All schools in district The increase—from 10,600 to 11,201 students (+601 students, ~5.7% growth over 4 years)—is steady, not explosive, but very meaningful if it continues.

1. Indicator of community growth and family attraction is a positive economic signal ▪ More young families moving in or staying
▪ Strong housing demand, especially family-friendly units ▪ A community that is perceived as livable and stable

2. Long-term workforce implications
This connects directly to the Talent Supply data:
▪ Growing enrollment = expanding future labor force (if retained, it is a major economic asset) ▪ In ~10–15 years, this group will a) enter local jobs, b) support business expansion, c)replace retiring workers

Project: City of Lincoln, Economic Development Update
Subject: Commute Data
This information is 2023, 3 years old, but helps to
understand underlying trends, movement of jobs and
potential spending that affect Lincoln’s economic
growth.
9,530 – employed in City of Lincoln
2,036 (21.4%) city residents
7,494 (78.6%) commuting in from outside the
city
19,976 people living in Lincoln are employed outside
the city
Findings to be considered:

1. Lincoln is net exporter of workers
▪ ~20,000 residents leave daily for work
▪ ~9,500 jobs exist locally
▪ Primarily a bedroom community, not a primary job center ▪ The local economy depends heavily on external job markets ▪ Vulnerable to regional economic downturns, fuel costs, commute disruptions

2. Heavy in-commuting shows a job–housing mismatch
▪ 78% of local jobs are filled by non-residents
▪ Local jobs do not align with resident workforce skills, wages, or preferences, OR there is insufficient local labor supply for those roles

3. Potential “leakage” of income and spending
▪ When ~20,000 residents work elsewhere, much of their daytime spending (lunch, retail, services) and professional activity happens outside the city.

4. Question untapped opportunity: “capture own workforce” ▪ Large resident workforce (nearly 20,000 commuters), proven ability to support employment (9,500 jobs already)
▪ Is there ability to create jobs that fit local out commute skill sets.

5. Data supports there is a talent pipeline to fill jobs if investment of business is made in Lincoln.
▪ Match outbound commuters; if residents are leaving for professional / office jobs → recruit office employers, healthcare → expand medical sector, possible skilled trades → support industrial/flex space

6. Strategic positioning: transition phase
▪ There is a strong residential base, access to regional jobs, growing population ▪ But needs to convert from “housing center” to an “employment center” Figure 1 - On the Map; Inflow/Outflow All

Source: ESRI Business Summary Report (2025)

1. Economy is heavily local-serving driven
• 741 businesses / 6,024 jobs (~70% of total employment) • The economy is largely supported by resident spending (retail, healthcare, education, personal services)
• Growth is tied to population growth, not external demand

2. Goods-producing sector is relatively small but important • 178 businesses / 1,546 jobs (~18%)
• This is primary “export” sector
• It’s a key economic engine, even if it’s smaller in size • Supports higher wages, supply chains, and economic diversification 1976

3. Visitor-serving sector is underdeveloped
• 109 businesses / 1,080 jobs (~12%)
• Implies the city is not a major destination economy
• Lower levels of hotel activity, events/festivals, tourism-driven retail • This sector can be a scalable growth lever with assets that exist (location, amenities, events)

7. Business ecosystem insight
High number of local-serving businesses (741) suggests:

Strong small business base
Entrepreneurial activity tied to population needs
Opportunities:

Scaling of these businesses (if demand is present)
Transition some into regional-serving or export-oriented firms 1977

1979
Project: City of Lincoln, Economic Development Update
Subject: City Council . 2025–2027 Strategic Plan
Council Direction & Economic Development Alignment Brief

1. Long-Term Fiscal Sustainability
• Review and assessment of Property Tax Sharing Agreements • Explore revenue generation options to sustain and expand City services • Develop an Airport Action Plan focused on growth and revenue

2. Smarter, More Sustainable Growth
• Use the General Plan review to pursue “better development strategies that support sustainable, smart growth”
• Evaluate the 40% open space requirement
• Discuss inclusionary and stand-alone affordable housing • Revisit specific plan strategies through workshops

3. Economic Vitality & Implementation
• Continue development and implementation of an Economic Master Plan • Improve permit tracking and transparency
• Strengthen downtown planning (truck traffic, master plan alignment)

4. Infrastructure & Community Capacity
• Library service and facility analysis
• Lighting & Landscape District research
• Infrastructure improvements and community engagement
Key Takeaways: Council’s Purpose Behind These Projects

1. Stabilize and Strengthen the Revenue Base
Council is signaling that fiscal resilience is foundational. Reviewing tax agreements, exploring new revenue tools, and activating the airport are about reducing structural vulnerability and ensuring sustainable funding for services.

2. Shift from Growth Quantity to Growth Quality
The emphasis on smart growth, open space policy, affordable housing, and specific plan discussions shows Council wants development that aligns with Lincoln’s character while improving long-term financial and infrastructure outcomes.

3. Move from Planning to Implementation
The Economic Master Plan is no longer conceptual — it is an ongoing implementation priority .

Council expects measurable execution.

4. Modernize City Systems to Support Development
Permit tracking transparency and process improvements signal a desire to improve the development experience and operational efficiency .

5. Protect and Enhance Community Identity
Downtown traffic, parks, library services, and engagement efforts reflect Council’s interest in maintaining quality of life alongside growth.

Implementation Workbook
Instructions and Tracking Guidance
Purpose of the Workbook
This workbook is intended to serve as a living implementation and tracking tool for the City of Lincoln Economic Development Strategy.

The workbook will help staff, Economic Development Committee, Council, and partner organizations to
• organize and prioritize implementation activities,
• track ongoing economic development efforts and progress, • align actions with City Council priorities,
• identify accountability, timelines, desired outcomes, and • support regular ED Committee and City Council updates.

Economic Development Pillars
On May 13, 2026, the Economic Development Committee accepted an Economic Development Pillar Platform which is outlined below.

Pillar 1: Business Development – Outcome Expected: Drive investment and revenue in four focus areas.
1) Commercial / Retail – primary
2) Airport / Industrial – primary
3) Downtown – ongoing with partner Downtown
4) Sports / Visitation – ongoing with partner Visitor Bureau Pillar 2: Business Retention, Expansion and Creation – Outcome Expected: Maintain existing and assist new growth and expansion in four focus areas.
1) Business Accelerator (Downtown) – primary
2) Major Employer Engagement – primary
3) Small Business Support – ongoing with partner agencies 4) Workforce Alignment – ongoing with education and
workforce, address talent pipeline
Pillar 3: Competitiveness and Business Climate – Outcome Expected: Position for future investment in four focus areas. 1) Permitting Concierge and Process Improvement – primary 2) Identity and Positioning – primary
3) Workforce Strategy – ongoing with partner agencies
4) Infrastructure – ongoing with internal and external
departments
How to Use the Workbook
Column 1. Focus Area – Each Focus Area represents a strategic implementation category within one of the three Economic Development Pillars. Examples:
• Commercial / Retail
• Airport / Industrial
• Downtown
• Small Business Support
• Infrastructure
• Workforce Strategy
2002
City of Lincoln . Economic Development Implementation Workbook . Page 2 of 6 Column 2. Tasks / Actions – This column is for including:
• Current projects that are already underway
• Planned future actions (specific tasks)
• Partner-led initiatives
• Grant opportunities
• Coordination meetings
• Infrastructure or planning efforts
• Business engagement activities
Tasks should be specific and action oriented. Where possible:
• add specific deadlines
• milestone dates
• or implementation phases
Column 3. Timeline – The timeline column is intended to identify the general implementation horizon for each activity. This could also be updated by staff to a more specific timeline to share with ED Committee and Council.

Standard Timeline Definitions
• Short-Term: 0–2 Years
• Mid-Term: 2–5 Years
• Long-Term: 5+ Years
• Ongoing: Continuous Activity
Where valuable for tracking purposes, staff are encouraged to add:
• target completion dates
• milestone deadlines
• or annual work plan dates
Examples:
• “Short-Term (Q1 2027)”
• “Mid-Term (2027 CIP Cycle)”
• “Ongoing – Quarterly Updates”
Column 4. Lead and Support – This column should list the responsible lead staff person on each task and any support person, department or other organization involved in implementing and completing the task.

Update outcomes over time as projects advance and additional metrics become available.

Column 5. Status – This column can be used to as a running status report and to track the progress of specific actions for the Focus Areas. This can provide Committee and Council with a report of progress at meeting and completing tasks, results, and adding new tasks to a Focus Area.

Each task should align back to one or more City Council Strategic Partner Roles and Assignments – Economic development
implementation is shared across multiple organizations and partners. These partners will normally be in support roles but could also be the lead and should be listed in Column 4.

Key Principle
This workbook is intended to function as a flexible implementation management tool — not a static planning document. It should evolve over time as priorities, opportunities, projects, planning and partnerships advance.
2004

SUBJECT: Sewer Master Plan Update. (Araceli Cazarez)
SUBMITTED BY: City Clerk
DEPARTMENT: Engineering
DATE: July 28, 2026
Item Number 15.B
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

No action to be taken. Presentation to be given to introduce and inform about the 2026 Sewer Master Plan Update. Staff will seek Council approval for formal adoption at a subsequent meeting. The report can be found on the city's website, Sewer Master Plan.

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:

The City’s last Sewer Master Plan Update was completed in 2018, based on development plans described in the City’s General Plan 2050 (GP). Since that time, the City has experienced continued annexations and growth. In addition, the City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with Placer County establishing the Lincoln – Sewer Maintenance District 1 Wastewater Authority (LiSWA) in November 2022. As a result, ownership and operational responsibilities for the Regional Trunk Sewer, the Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility (WWTRF), and related facilities were transferred to LiSWA.

The goal and purpose of this update is to re-evaluate the capacity and level of service of the City’s remaining wastewater collection system under current conditions and projected growth scenarios. Key objectives include reviewing prior studies, confirming system data through asbuilt information and targeted field surveys, updating and recalibrating the hydraulic model using recent flow monitoring and WWTRF data, identifying existing and future hydraulic deficiencies, and developing conceptual upgrade strategies with associated order-ofmagnitude cost estimates.

FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:

Overall, this Sewer Master Plan Update document and associated background analysis provides the City with an updated, technically sound roadmap for maintaining acceptable levels of service, strategically extending wastewater infrastructure to support planned development, and coordinating future capital investments in a manner consistent with current ownership responsibilities and long-term sustainability goals. It is important to note that the Sewer Master Plan Update is a living document, and the details presented including assumptions, evaluations and recommendations are based on the data available at the time of preparation. Per industry standards, this document will be updated every 5 to 8 years and will incorporate new information and updates.

STAFF REPORT

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Sewer Master Plan Update is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it has no potential to impact the environment and pursuant to section 15262 because it is a planning study for future action which the City is not approving at this time.
