Title: Fiscal Year 2025/26 Mammoth Lakes Recreation Measure U Arts and Culture Programming and Special Event Transit Service Funding Recommendations.
Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
Prepared by: Kim Anaclerio, MLR Executive Director
Stuart Brown, TOML, Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving Measure U (Fund 217) allocations for Fiscal Year 2025/26 Programming and Special Event Transit Service funding recommendations in the amount of $210,749.50.
BACKGROUND:
Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) is a non-profit organization that is committed to preserving and enriching the quality of life for residents and visitors by ensuring the strategic use of Measure R and Measure U funds to develop and support recreation, arts and culture, mobility, capital projects and special projects in Mammoth Lakes. MLR is the recommending body for Measure R and Measure U and conducts the allocation process annually with funding recommendations presented to Town Council for review, and approval as recommended or with modification.
The stated broad objective of the funding process is as follows: “Measure R & U Funds will be recommended or funds invested to create, implement and support a branded high-performance destination that includes a thriving arts & culture community and enhanced recreation opportunities.”
ANALYSIS:
Arts and Culture Programming
The recommendation of specific allocations for arts and culture programming is determined through an extensive public review process. Applications are evaluated for alignment with the Broad Objective, Guiding Principles and Priority Elements of the MLR Strategic Plan and scored in the following ten (10) areas: Project Readiness/Schedule, Community Engagement, Economic Impact, Environmental Impact, Affordability, Recreation and/or Arts & Culture Value, Partnership, Improved Access, TOML Strategic Plans and Priorities, and Overall Impact and Community Benefit.
The MLR Allocations Committee held a public meeting on February 11, 2026, to review applications and offer the applicants the opportunity to address the Committee. All applications were reviewed at this meeting and funding recommendations determined. On March 10, 2026, the MLR Allocations Committee presented those recommendations to the MLR Board. One applicant petitioned the Board to revise their organizations’ recommendation, which was granted. $225,000 is budgeted for FY2025/26 Measure U Programming. The application period opened January 5 and closed January 31, 2026.
There were 11 applicants.
Funding was recommended for eight (8) applications.
A total of $185,749.50 in funding is recommended.
The MLR Board is recommending Town Council approve by resolution Measure U expenditures of $185,749.50 in arts and culture programming for eight (8) local recreation, arts, and culture organizations from the FY2025/26 Measure U fund balance. Measure U funding recommendations for programming are included below in Table 1 and in the attached resolution.
Table 1 - Arts and Culture Programming Funding Recommendations Organization Funding
Recommendation
Chamber Music Unbound $40,000.00
Eastern Sierra Arts Alliance $41,000.00
Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center $11,500.00
Eastern Sierra Community Chorus $8,500.00
Mono Arts Council $50,587.50
Sierra Classic Theater $9,000.00
Sierra STEM $14,000.00
Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserve $11,162.00
Total Measure U Funding Request $185,749.50
Special Event Transit Service Funding Recommendations
Measure U funds have been allocated for the past several years to support large-scale special events in Mammoth Lakes. These funds have been utilized to pay for enhanced transit (mobility) services to meet the additional short-term demand of large-scale special events. The primary goal of offering complimentary transit services for event participants is to reduce the number of vehicles traveling in and around the special event venue. The secondary purpose is to not impact or degrade existing Town-wide transit services.
The Town has previously managed this program in coordination with Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) with an annual allocation of $25,000. These funds have been utilized historically by the Mammoth Festival of Beers and Bluesapalooza, Night of Lights, and most recently Mammoth Trailfest. This year, event organizers requested funds for The Monster Energy Mammoth Motocross and The Mammoth.
To equitably address these additional funding requests and to ensure sufficient funds are available to support these large-scale special events and to meet the goals of the program, the Town and MLR developed an online application form1open to all eligible special events. To be eligible for this funding, the event must be deemed a “Special Event” and submit a Special Event Administrative Permit Application to the Town of Mammoth Lakes.
For the purposes of the application process, only large scale, ticketed events (Mammoth Lakes Tourism "Tier 1" Events) of more than 1,000 people at one time, that drive visitation, and are considered significant economic drivers to the region outside of a 100+ mile radius, and engage in expansive marketing efforts are eligible to apply. Non-ticketed or small community events are not

eligible for funding. *The event must meet the MLT "Tier 1" criteria, but does not need to receive funding from Mammoth Lakes Tourism. In addition, a maximum request of $10,000 per event was introduced.
Town and MLR staff are requesting Town Council consider the approval of the Special Event Transit Funding recommendations as presented in Table 2 below from the FY2025/26 Measure U Fund balance.
The Measure U fund balance at the close of this fiscal year is projected to be $275,500.
Additionally, MLR is recommending $185,749.50 of the $225,000 allocated for programming grants, adding $39,000 to the projected fund balance.
Town and MLR staff have reviewed each application and confirmed their eligibility for funding. $25,000 is budgeted from the FY2025/26 Measure U fund balance for Special Event Transit Service.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Consider approval of a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter for a Type 40 On‑ Sale Beer License for the Pokonobe Lodge business located at 3787 Lake Mary Road.
Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
Prepared by: Kim Cooke, Senior Planner
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the request for a Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) Letter in support of the Pokonobe Lodge owner’s application for a Type 40 On‑ Sale Beer ABC license, authorizing the sale of beer for consumption on or off the premises, and authorize the Community and Economic Development Director to sign the PCN letter documenting this determination.
BACKGROUND:
The Pokonobe Lodge is a long‑ standing visitor‑ serving establishment located adjacent to Lake Mary. The property includes a General Store that provides a range of goods and services for campers and recreational visitors, including fishing supplies and rental equipment, bike rentals, food, snacks, beverages, beer and wine (takeout), ice, firewood, souvenirs, maps, and general camping supplies. In addition to the store, the Lodge offers boat rentals and maintains an event and catering space used for weddings and similar gatherings.
The property recently changed ownership, and the new owner is seeking the Town’s authorization to obtain an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 40 On‑ Sale Beer license. This license would allow the sale of beer for consumption both on and off the premises. Approval of the Type 40 license would replace the existing Type 20 Off‑ Sale Beer and Wine license currently associated with the General Store; as a result, wine would no longer be sold, and patrons would be able to purchase a draft beer to be enjoyed on the raised outdoor patio area that overlooks Lake Mary.
According to the applicant, the intent behind the license request is to enhance the Lodge as a family‑ friendly destination where outdoor enthusiasts can relax. The applicant has stated that the property will not operate as a bar; instead, beer service would be provided through an approachable window or kiosk offering draft beer. The Type 40 license is preferred by the applicant because it allows minors on the premises, does not require food service, and allows the General Store to continue selling beer for off-site consumption.
The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type-40 On-Sale Beer license is issued to bars and taverns. The permit authorizes the sale of beer for consumption on or off the premises where sold. No wine or distilled spirits may be on the premises. Full meals are not required; however, sandwiches or snacks must be available. Minors are allowed on the premises. This license type is subject to Responsible Beverage Service (RBS)
2 requirements and requires alcohol servers and managers of alcohol servers to be RBS certified.
The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has determined that the applicant is seeking an ABC license for a location where undue concentration exists, meaning the area has more alcohol licenses than recommended and/or a crime rate higher than the state average as defined in Section 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code. Because of this finding, ABC is required to deny the application unless the local governing body determines within 90 days of receiving notice of a complete application that issuing the license would serve public convenience or necessity.
Evidence of this determination is provided in the form of a signed letter on official letterhead (Attachment 1) stating whether the issuance of the license would serve a public convenience and/or necessity.
ANALYSIS:
The Pokonobe Lodge property is located within the Resort (R) zoning district, which is intended to accommodate visitor serving uses and recreational amenities. The Lodge is surrounded by United States Forest Service land, and its existing operations including the General Store, boat rentals, bike rentals, and event space are consistent with the recreational character of the area.
Offering limited on-site beer service is compatible with the visitor serving nature of the Resort district and complements the amenities already provided at the Lodge. The proposed Type 40 ABC license represents a minor modification to current operations as proposed by the applicant. The Community Development Director has determined that the change will not increase the intensity of use and will not result in any expansion of the structure or exterior alterations to the property.
The Lodge serves a remote recreational area where visitor serving amenities are limited, and the public convenience is supported by the services provided at Pokonobe Lodge. The Type 40 license would allow the Lodge to continue selling beer for off-premises consumption through the General Store, which has historically provided this service to visitors. Maintaining this convenience supports the needs of campers and outdoor users who rely on the store for supplies during their stay. Although the Type 40 license would eliminate wine sales, the continued availability of beer for both on-site enjoyment and offsite consumption maintains existing service that has long been part of the lodge operations.
Together, these factors demonstrate that issuance of the Type 40 license would enhance visitor services in a manner consistent with the site’s zoning, existing operations, and recreational context. For these reasons, staff finds that the license would serve the public convenience and necessity at this location.
Granting the permit will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare because the proposed alcohol service is limited in scope and remains incidental to the primary visitor serving functions of the Pokonobe Lodge. Employees are required to complete responsible alcohol sales training to ensure safe and lawful service. Mammoth Lakes Police Department has reviewed the application and indicated that they have no issues or concerns with its approval.
3 OPTIONS ANALYSIS
Option 1: Approve the request for a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter from the Mammoth Lakes Town Council in support of Mammoth Lakes Marina Experiences, Inc. application for a Type-40 Beer License and authorize the Community and Economic Development Director to sign the letter documenting this determination.
Option 2: Do not approve the request for a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter from the Mammoth Lakes Town Council in support of Mammoth Lakes Marina Experiences Inc. application for a Type-40 Beer License.
Option 1 would allow Mammoth Lakes Marina Experiences Inc. to continue with the Type40 license application process with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).
ABC would review the Town Council’s letter and determination prior to granting the Type40 License.
Option 2 would not allow Mammoth Marina Experiences Inc. to continue with the Type40 License application process, and the applicant would not be granted a Type-40 License.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The owner of the Pokonobe Lodge property has provided a deposit to cover staff time to process this request.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The Community Development Director has determined that the proposed ABC license represents only a minor change to existing operations and will not increase the intensity of use and will not result in any expansion of the structure or exterior alterations to the property.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The enforcement and regulation of ABC licenses is the responsibility of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and, if civil or other penal code violations occur, the responsibility of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department.

Re: Pokonobe Lodge, Type-40 License Application
To Whom it May Concern,
The Mammoth Lakes Town Council, at its regular meeting on April 1, 2026, determined that the public convenience and necessity would be served by the issuance of a new Type 40 Alcoholic Beverage Control License to Mammoth Lakes Marina Experiences INC for the property located at 3787 Lake Mary Road in Mammoth Lakes, California 93546. This approval authorizes the business to conduct on site sales of beer under a Type 40 license. The Town Council further authorized the Community and Economic Development Director to sign the letter documenting the Town’s determination and approval.
The basis of their decision was that: (1) Offering limited on-site beer service is compatible with the visitor serving nature of the Resort zoning district and complements the amenities already provided at the Pokonobe Lodge; (2) The lodge serves a remote recreational area where visitor serving amenities are limited and the public convenience is supported by the services provided at Pokonobe Lodge; and (3) Granting the license will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare because the proposed alcohol service is limited in scope and remains incidental to the primary visitor serving functions of the Pokonobe Lodge. Employees are required to complete responsible alcohol sales training to ensure safe and lawful service.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any additional questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yes, I am currently on the committee, since 2018. No conflicts of interest We have yet to have an appeal during my time on the BOA, so that would be an interesting opportunity if it ever presented itself. Regarding the BAC, it is nice to stay current with building official updates as well as updates from other agencies (MLFD, MCWD).

Topics that lead to more regulation. For many years the building permitting process was extremely smooth. Up until the past several months this was the case.
It would be good to have further discussions at our meetings about getting back on track. While this is discussed at our meetings I think now it is especially needed.

None; they are all interesting to me 1) To the extent that the town’s development of a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan will include green building practices for both existing and future structures, the BOA/BAC should serve as a resource to help guide staff and consultants. 2) Timely and public posted information about committee meetings 1) Support stakeholder engagement sessions; review Plan drafts; connect responsible parties with available resources that they may not yet have come across. Would like to hear what needs / gaps exist as preparing for drafting gets underway.
2) Facilitate the Building Official in performing their role as the committee’s Secretary ex-officio with publishing meeting agendas on the town website. *in pm X

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Consider the request to conduct a financial analysis of the Mammoth Crossing Development to evaluate the extent of the feasibility gap of the project
Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
Prepared by: Nolan Bobroff, Community & Economic Development Director Rob Patterson, Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to begin working with the applicant team and qualified financial consultants on an analysis to determine the extent of the feasibility gap of the Mammoth Crossing project, provided that the applicant bear 100% of the costs of the financial review and that the results of the analysis do not represent a formal decision of any kind or a commitment by the Town Council to enter into negotiations for a development agreement.
BACKGROUND:
A Concept Review Application for the North Village Mammoth Crossing sites was submitted to the Town Planning Division in September 2025, and the Town Council received a presentation on the Project in March 2026.1 Concept review is typically used to provide applicants with feedback on preliminary project plans and designs; however, in this case due to the complexity of the project and the significant investment to develop the project, the applicant is also requesting feedback on a potential development agreement that includes a revenue sharing component. Revenue sharing is where through a development agreement, or a separate hotel development incentive agreement, a tax collecting entity (e.g., the Town) agrees to allow the developer of a hotel project to retain an established percentage of taxes owed (e.g., TOT) for a specified period of time in order to reduce or eliminate a financing gap.
The preliminary project description includes the following components:
Development of a mixed-use project on the NW, SW, and SE corners of Minaret Road and Main Street that provides a branded hotel, conference center, retail plaza, branded residences, and public parking.
Site 1 (NW corner) is proposed to be a JW Marriott hotel with up to 196 “keys” and an approximately 28,000 sf conference center.
Site 2 (SW corner) is proposed to include a retail plaza (potential home of Mammoth Brewing, neighborhood general store, etc.) and approximately 85 branded residences.
1 Meeting materials from the March 4, 2026 Town Council presentation: https://pubtownofmammothlakes.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=6556d6ca-94c6-4182-a106- 44f3accd6d09&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English&Item=34&Tab=attachments
2 Site 3 (SE corner) is proposed to be developed with approximately 100 branded residences and public parking.
Development Agreements
Development agreements (DA) are contracts entered into by a local government and a property owner or developer to expressly define a development project’s rules, regulations, commitments, and policies for a specified period of time. These agreements can specify various elements of the development process including, but not limited to, phasing of a larger master-planned community, tax-sharing for commercial development, or critical infrastructure commitments.
Chapter 17.104 of the Town’s Municipal Code establishes procedures and requirements for the review and consideration of DAs, in compliance with Government Code Section 65864 et seq. An application for a DA requires a public hearing and recommendation by the Planning and Economic Development Commission (PEDC) followed by a public hearing before the Town Council after which the Town Council must vote to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the DA.
Pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 17.104, the Town Council may approve a DA only if the following findings can be made:
1. That the agreement is consistent with the goals, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the Town's general plan and any applicable specific plan;
2. That the agreement and accompanying development plan are compatible with the uses authorized in, and the performance and development standards prescribed for, the zone classification in which the subject property is located;
3. That the agreement is in conformity with and will promote public convenience, general welfare, and good land use and development practices;
4. The development agreement shall be shown to be of greater benefit to the community than development under present zoning; and
5. The term or duration of the agreement has a commensurate relationship to the benefits provided.
The Town Council is never under an obligation to approve a DA, even if the findings set forth above can be made. The Council has the authority to decide whether or not to enter into a DA, and to decide what terms it wishes to insist upon or reject as part of DA negotiations.
Revenue Sharing
The Town has been approached several times by hotel project developers to consider a DA with tax sharing components as a part of the proposal. To become better educated on the elements of a tax sharing deal, the Town previously contracted with Kosmont Companies, Inc in 2019 to provide a presentation to the Town Council, the PEDC, and the public. The presentation was held on November 20, 2019, at which Kosmont gave a detailed presentation on structuring hospitality tax sharing agreements and answered questions.2
2 The November 20, 2019 Kosmont presentation slide deck on tax sharing agreements is available here:
https://pub-townofmammothlakes.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?documentid=6377
3 A summary of the key points from the presentation are included below:
Early revenue is important for hotel projects due to higher financial risk than other project types.
o Revenue sharing agreements can provide hotels a significant boost to Debt Coverage Service Ratio (DCSR), cashflow, and initial equity returns. o Early TOT sharing can drive financial feasibility, help a hotel obtain superior financing terms, and enhance leveraged return on equity. Tax sharing agreements may be appropriate to bridge financial feasibility gaps for:
o Projects that are expected to be significant revenue generators. o Catalyst projects that may drive additional private investment. o Projects that further public policy goals.
A revenue sharing pledge should:
o Facilitate the operation of a project that would not occur but for the pledge. o Be a measured response to established financial need. o Benefit the Town.
A revenue sharing pledge should not:
o Facilitate ongoing operation of a project that is not sustainable over the long-term without support.
o Make up for a bad deal.
o Unnecessarily expose the Town to excessive risk.
There are steps the Town can take to protect itself from risks associated with tax sharing agreements:
o Limit revenue pledge until commencement of hotel operations. o Make amount of pledge a function of hotel performance. o Condition pledge with protective financial covenants. Many ways to measure and limit a tax sharing pledge
o Measure by percentage of revenue, a stated amount, or a “waterfall” o Limit by using “floor” or “ceiling,” fixed number of years, termination clauses, prescribed values
o TOT funded debt service reserves
Other considerations:
o Public benefits of the project
o Existing hotel performance / market projections
o Setting a precedent, equity considerations
o Minimum project thresholds / guidelines
o Leveraging net incremental revenue through a special district (TIF) to facilitate other public policy goals
4 ANALYSIS:
The proposed financial analysis is intended to provide the Town Council, staff, and the applicant team with adequate information on the extent of the feasibility gap of the Mammoth Crossing project, which would then be used to inform decision makers and the applicant team on whether to proceed with negotiating a development agreement on the project, and the project as a whole. The feasibility gap is the delta between the value of the hotel project at the commencement of operations and the cost to build the hotel project, with the cost to build often exceeding the value of the hotel on day 1. The financial analysis will determine what the estimated gap is, provide potential revenue sharing structures that outline the term and financial return on the project, and provide general financial estimates of the project (average daily rate, estimated occupancy, TOT revenue, etc.). Preparation of the financial analysis is not binding and does not commit the Town to moving forward with a development agreement and/or other tax sharing agreement. It is simply meant to be informative.
If the Council does direct staff to work with the applicant team on the financial analysis, staff would then solicit proposals from qualified financial consultants to assist staff with the work. The selected consultant would then work directly with the applicant’s financial consultant to prepare the study. The Town would be reimbursed for the cost of the analysis by the applicant team regardless of the outcome of the analysis.
Following the conclusion of the financial analysis work, the results of the study would then be brought back to the Town Council for a discussion related to what the feasibility gap is and whether there was interest from the Town Council in considering a revenue sharing agreement. At that point, and dependent on what the extent of the gap is and whether Town Council is interested in negotiating and pursuing a revenue sharing agreement, the Town Council would be tasked with deciding whether to formally enter into negotiations on a development agreement with the developer. As noted above, negotiating a development agreement in no way commits the Town Council to approving the agreement.
OPTIONS ANALYSIS
Option 1: Authorize staff to begin working with the applicant team and qualified financial consultants on an analysis to determine the extent of the feasibility gap of the Mammoth Crossing project, provided that the applicant bear 100% of the costs of the financial review and that the results of the analysis do not represent a formal decision of any kind or a commitment by the Town Council to enter into negotiations for a development agreement.
Option 2: Not authorize the financial analysis.
Under this scenario, the applicant would need to determine whether they would still proceed with an entitlement application and development agreement application.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Staff time dedicated to this application is funded through the Concept Review application deposit, which must be replenished on an ongoing basis as costs related to staff time and attorney review expenses are incurred.
5 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
There are no environmental considerations related to the discussion of whether to proceed with a financial analysis to determine the feasibility gap of the Project.
For the larger overall project, an Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the Mammoth Crossing Project and was adopted and certified in 2009. As part of the project approval, the Town Council adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations because the project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to aesthetics, air quality, and noise. Any future project at the Mammoth Crossing sites will be reviewed against the 2009 certified EIR. If a new proposal omits or substantially changes features that were part of the certified project description, particularly those the Town relied on as community benefits to justify approving the project despite significant unavoidable impacts, the legal approvals associated with the EIR may no longer be valid, and preparation of a new CEQA document would be required
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The Town Attorney has provided initial input on the framework for a development agreement that includes a revenue sharing component. In the event that the applicant submits a development agreement application, extensive consultation with the Town Attorney will be required throughout the negotiation process to ensure that the development agreement furthers the Town’s interests and that the Town is legally protected.

Nolan Bobroff
Community & Economic Development Director
Town of Mammoth Lakes
Dear Nolan,
This letter communicates New Course Enterprise's formal request that the Town staff agendize a Policy Matter for the Town Council's consideration on April 1, 2026. Specifically, New Course requests the Council to authorize the staff to enter into a negotiation for a Development Agreement with a revenue sharing component (or a separate Hotel Development Incentive Agreement) in connection with the proposed Mammoth Crossing development, which the Council previewed on March 4, 2026. As we have discussed, if the Council authorizes the Town staff to enter into a negotiation for a Development Agreement with a revenue sharing component (or a separate Hotel Development Incentive Agreement), then: (1) the Town would be under no obligation whatsoever to enter into any such agreement at any time; and (2) New Course will agree to reimburse the Town for all of its costs incurred in connection with the negotiation, including all staff time, attorneys' fees, and costs incurred for the Town to engage a financial consulting firm to participate in the negotiation and advise the Council accordingly.
Please let me know if this request prompts any questions or concerns. Thank you.
Sincerely,
REICKER, PFAU, PYLE & McROY LLP

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Presentation on budget performance through the second quarter FY25-26 and approval of Budget Amendments.
Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the second quarter Fiscal Year 25-26 Budget Report and adopt the proposed resolution amending the Fiscal Year 25-26 budget as recommended in Attachment A – Budget Adjustments.
BACKGROUND:
Proper administration of the budget requires regular review of performance against budget expectations.
While staff reviews performance on a monthly basis, staff provides Town Council with the opportunity to review our financial performance at the close of each quarter. This report reflects the second quarter performance and provides updates on general operating budget. The analysis primarily focuses on the General Fund and Gas Tax as it is early enough in the year not to see significant shortfall to budget aside from the significant snow impacts, both of which are covered in these two funds. The first review of current year’s performance typically does not see significant changes to adopted budget unless we have a major project update or other item of significance not captured during the normal budget process. All funds have been reviewed in detail in preparation for this Town Council update. All funds not discussed are operating within the planned budget limits for both revenue and expenditure. The third quarter update, set for late May, will likely have more items to cover as we discuss closing out our winter operations and the completion of a number of capital projects.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
The budget process for FY25-26 was a continued strategic growth for key revenue elements like Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), property tax, sales tax, and other elements tied to visitation. The Town has experienced solid growth in TOT since COVID-19 and we continue to see a new plateau for baseline TOT collections, in the mid to high $20 million range. The TOT collected is a factor of both visitation and the nightly rates charged. Operators were reporting a shift in strategy with the declined consumer activity, with a true shoulder period between summer and winter. This winter did produce some anomalous results, produced mainly by wild fluctuations in snowfall and the lack of snowfall in many ski regions of the western United States. Outlook for the remainder of the year is difficult to determine based on rapidly changing weather conditions and general global economic challenges. Due to those key factors, staff has taken a bit more caution in projecting revenue for the remainder of the year.
Transient Occupancy Tax
The primary revenue driver for the General Fund is TOT. The typical seasonal changes from winter to spring and summer produced a more traditional shoulder season and more defined seasonal visitation.
We did set a record for TOT revenue in August, followed by strong but consistent numbers, on par with the average of the last four years, through the fall and early winter. In late December, powerful storms
2 hit the area delivering significant snowfall and setting up for a very strong winter. This snowfall, combined with conditions across the rest of the western United States, produced visitation on a weekly basis that is typically seen only during peak holiday weekends. As a result, we set records in the two highest TOT months of the year, January and February, with January eclipsing $5M as the first month ever to produce such results. As a reminder, 10+ years ago, $5M would be almost half the annual TOT revenue for the year. These are terrific numbers, and this is baseline TOT, not including the incremental rates added by Measure L. While we had success early in the winter, we managed to encounter dynamic shifts, delivering rain and unseasonably warm temperatures, that wreaked havoc on the snowpack in late February and early March. This left the length of winter in serious question and with some potential storms on the forecast, the ability to return to winter conditions seem unlikely. However, with the removal of the snow, there is the potential to jump start key seasonal changes and get the pass into Yosemite open far earlier than normal, which should produce an early and strong summer lift in visitation. In addition to the winter impacts, the cost of travel has been greatly impacted by the war in the middle east, driving up cost of fuel and affecting all modes of transportation. These factors make the determination of TOT for the remainder of the year very uncertain. To date, our TOT collection is $844,547 or 4.1% ahead of last year with an estimate of $4M in unallocated TOT revenue year to date.
The chart below shows how the adopted budget of $19.5M was distributed across each month, using a three-year average performance per month. Staff distribute the budgeted revenue to easily assess the current year’s performance in a volatile revenue stream. The distribution of budgeted TOT revenue is as follows:
3 The budget of $19.5M did represent a measured growth in this revenue item, with enough return to normal visitation without closures or other pandemic effects. As stated earlier, staff did expect to exceed this budget during the fiscal year. One important element of our conservative budgeting is the willingness to make adjustments throughout the year, realizing the additional revenue and putting it to work on special projects within the Town. Staff are using the estimate above to recommend $4.0M in additional TOT revenue for the second quarter review. Staff believes there will be additional TOT revenue, estimated at $7.0 – $7.5M for budget review in the remainder of FY25-26.
The recommended increase to Transient Occupancy Tax revenue will result in additional contributions to reserve accounts for Tourism, Housing, and Transit based on Council direction and political commitments. Based on the second quarter recommendation of $4.0M, the following adjustments will be made to reserve accounts rounded to the nearest $100.
The second quarter budget presentation usually has very few adjustments to revenue outside of TOT in stronger years. This year is no different and we have only one other revenue increase to address. With continued strong interest rates, our interest revenue has exceeded budget so far this year. With some of the construction projects, we have reduced the amount on deposit, but we continue to see interest rates in the 3.75% range. We do expect the interest to produce more than $1.0M on an annual basis and we recommend $500,000 additional revenue in the second quarter. In total, staff is recommending a net increase in budgeted revenue of $4,500,000 for the 2nd quarter FY25-26. The political commitments outlined above will be removed from this increased revenue leaving $3,253,900 for distribution to Town Council strategic priorities, operational needs, and the Capital Improvement Plan needs for FY26-27.
4 General Fund - Expenditures
The second quarter’s update is early enough in the year, so that there are very few expenditure items that have exceeded their expected budgets, usually due to some extenuating circumstance or unanticipated needs. Staff have reviewed the expenditures within the General Fund and while there are a few that have exceeded budget, they do not need to be addressed at this time. It is possible that savings within other line items of the department may provide adequate funds to cover needs within the department level. All in all, this year has not produced very many extenuating circumstances requiring funds beyond budgets.
Other Funds
In preparation for this review, staff have reviewed Fund 210 – Gas Tax and Fund 220 – Airport Operations to determine if there are revenue or expenditure modifications necessary. Neither require any additional consideration at this time. The main factor in both is the significance of our winter maintenance and snow removal. As we plan for a standard level of snowfall, this year has fallen into that level of effort and is therefore covered within the existing allocated expenses. We will review these funds again during the 3rd quarter in May to determine if anything has changed.
Staff Recommendations
The recommendations outlined below are one-time capital investments that do add to the annual operating budget for the Town. They are focused on both the Town Council Strategic Priority documents and identified functional needs of the organization. In some instances, they are capital project investments, often across several years, to accomplish a large-scale improvement into the future. The list below allocates the majority of available unallocated resources identified above with only $38,900 remaining for future allocation. Each request is discussed in more detail below the chart.
5 Housing Now! Missing Middle - $1,500,000
Staff are focused on delivering the Town Council Strategic Priority for housing investment in the missing middle. This year, staff are executing a work plan that will define the core tenants of a missing middle solution, through a series of presentations to Town Council seeking input and guidance for program development. In addition, staff are working with contractors who can deliver on a project that will deliver a large-scale facility with for rent product, targeting the Area Median Income (AMI) levels between 80% and 150%. This underserved segment of our workforce is defined as the Missing Middle. Staff anticipate any solution, whether bonded construction or another yet unidentified solution, would need a large infusion of cash to make the equation balance and the project come to fruition. The work to determine the funds needed and our ultimate goal has not been completed but the set aside of these funds is a step in the process of accumulating funds across time to achieve this goal.
Capital Projects – CRC Phase III – Rental and Concession Space Build Out – $350,000 This project has evolved significantly from the Phase II design and allocated funds ($150,000) in 2025 to design a fully integrated work space with a ceiling (heat) and sufficient space to accommodate yearround operations (summer camps, Mammoth RecZone and Ice Rink) at an estimated cost of $400,000.
6 The original design was removed from Phase I to bring the project within budget based on the funds allocated by the Town Council for the construction of the facility. The Phase II design illustrated below was superseded by the Dirtt/Pivot modular design (Phase III) as it maintains a consistent look and feel in the building, integrates with the existing office that has been well received by staff and most importantly, provides a more welcoming space for our patrons, and an accommodating (warm) space for staff to work and deliver exceptional customer service.
Phase I Design
Phase II Design
7 Phase III Design
Capital Project – Shady Rest Restroom Construction - $300,000 In fall of 2023 the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended replacing the existing bathroom at Shady Rest Park. The existing facility is inadequate for our needs and is past its useful life. The existing structure may be repurposed for storage. Staff are working with Triad Engineering on the site plan and based on the planned usage, may have to replace or upsize the septic tank. The planned location of the restroom is adjacent to the existing playground but closer to the parking lot for year-round access for Nordic skiers, OSV use and disc golf enthusiasts.
Funding for the design has been set aside. The allocation of $300,000 will begin the accumulation of funds for construction. The project will require another $400,000 identified to complete funding for construction. In total the project will cost $900,000 between design and construction phases.
The installation of the restroom is scheduled for the summer of 2027 or 2028.
8 Equipment – Larue Snowblower Attachment - $285,000
This winter, with the mechanical breakdowns we experienced with the blowers, the Town leased a piece of equipment to provide coverage and maintain capacity. The new equipment was employed at the Airport and existing split mount blower was moved into Town for roads department coverage. The new equipment is a different design that houses the motor and drive system directly on the front loader, using the same quick attachments as a blade or bucket. This makes the same loader capable of running a blade or bucket system and quickly switching to a blower attachment. The blower is driven directly off the motor so there is no complex hydraulic system for added complexity. The new equipment is fast and efficient and takes less skill and finesse to operate. The purchase will augment the blower fleet, ensuring we have backup capacity in either roads or airport.
Facilities – Airport Water System Improvements - $220,000 The Airport has a large water system comprised of two wells, a large above ground storage tank, several demand pumps and a full fire suppression pump that can run hydrants across the Airport facility. The system is nearly 20 years in age, and the fire system pump is at end of life and poses a risk. The funding recommended would provide for the replacement of the pump system and required improvements within the pump house facility. The funding allocated includes a contingency of 10% for unknown issues.
Capital Project – Roads, Asphalt and Concrete Maintenance- $150,000 The Engineering team completed a lot of updates to asphalt and concrete last year. This set aside is for any small periapical items and repairs that might be necessary post winter. To date, nothing has been identified, but if not needed, the funds can be moved to general maintenance.
9 Capital Project – Bicycle Park / Pump Track - $100,000 Approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission on February 3, 2026 as a strategic priority, staff are recommending the allocation of $100,000 towards the design and construction of a Community Bike Park/Pump Track in FY2026/27 subject to the identification of an appropriate site.
The goal of the Mammoth Lakes Bike Park/Pump Track project is to create a free-to-use public access bike skills and learning center, “bike park”, for the community of Mammoth Lakes and its thousands of summer visitors and bike enthusiasts. The proposed Town-managed bike park aims to create an inclusive, inviting and accessible state-of-the-art bike skills and learning center directed towards all ages and user groups. Ideally, it would be a 3-5 acre site integrated into an existing Town park area and designed for all recreationalists from first time bikers to life-long veterans.
Last fall, Town Staff in partnership with the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP) consultants hosted a bike park outreach event at the Winter Expo to gather input from the community on what features and amenities they would like to experience in a developed bike park. In addition, staff distributed an online survey that received 498 respondents with a summary of the results illustrated below.
The ideal location of a Community Bike Park/Pump Track is near existing Town infrastructure, such as public parking, bathrooms, trash bins, a source of water and in close proximity to public transit and/or close to the Multi-Use Paths (MUPs). The preferred site is flat with a mild pitch in a relatively open area.
The bike park aims to be a low-impact, sustainable resource with low cost of upkeep to create a high benefit to cost ratio.
10 No site has been identified for the Community Bike Park/Pump Track, but staff drafted a site plan for Mammoth Creek Park East that was denied by the District Ranger. Below is a draft concept design of the Mammoth Lakes Community Bike Park on roughly 3 acres of terrain at Mammoth Creek Park East.
Staff have reviewed several municipal bike parks, including the Auburn Bike Park, located in Auburn, California, (Managed by Auburn Recreation District. 9 acres. Est. 2020), the Sapwi Bike Park located in Thousand Oaks, California, (Managed by Conejo Recreation and Parks District. 2 acres. Est. 2013) and the Bijou Community Park, located in South Lake Tahoe, California (Managed by City of South Lake Tahoe Parks and Rec. 5 acres. Est. 2015).
Below is the Bijou Community Bike Park map, located in South Lakes Tahoe.
Staff continue to explore appropriate sites and will present the Commission and Town Council with site options, conceptual plans and funding estimates when available.
11 Project Management – Contract for Scoping of NVSP Plan Amendments - $100,000 The Town has an On-Call Civil Engineering Services Agreement with NCE to perform specialized engineering and project management work. In this task, NCE will assist and advise the Town in identifying proposed revisions and updates to the North Village Specific Plan (NVSP) as it relates to Town owned or managed land within the specific plan. The revisions and updates are needed to meet community, transportation, and infrastructure needs including parking deficiencies, multi-modal circulation, pedestrian and roadway safety, and housing. The work will include identifying, discussing and documenting proposed changes to the NVSP to address each of those critical elements. The work is expected to begin in late March and conclude with final deliverables scheduled for July 2026. The goal will be achieved through a series of meetings including Town leadership, elected officials, agency partners, and members of the community.
Facilities – Airport Construction Trailer Purchase - $75,000 The Town recently reached an agreement with Cal Fire to house an engine crew at the Airport, providing 24/7 coverage to the region between Tom’s Place and north of Mammoth Lakes. This team will serve to augment existing firefighting resources in the area and will include a dedicated air resource (CH47 Chinook) stationed on the airfield for the fire season, starting June 1st of each year. In order to facilitate this agreement, the Town provided the airport offices as temporary crew quarters for the engine company. The long-term solution for airport offices will be within the multi-purpose maintenance facility that is scheduled for construction in the coming years. In the meantime, Airport staff will need a place to house offices and support staff needs. This type of a solution can provide some level of mobility to the work spaces but is not considered ideal but manageable for the short term. The funding will provide for the acquisition of a mobile facility for this purpose and some ancillary components to make it livable for a couple of years.
Capital Project – Shady Rest Fencing Updates - $60,000
This project is connected to the Whitebark’s Forest Health Work program planned this summer at Shady Rest Park. Work is scheduled to occur from mid-June to mid-August (subject to change) with the park split into east and west closures to allow planned programming and softball leagues to occur with minimal disruption. Below is a map of the prescribed work area.
Work on the west closure will require the removal of several large trees adjacent to the road and soccer fields 1 and 2. To prepare for this work, staff will remove the treated lumber railings and any other park
12 assets. This project will extend the chain link fence from the existing playground restroom area all the way to the recently rehabilitated skatepark to provide safety for our many park users. Staff have estimated a cost of $60,000 for this project in FY 2026/27.
Equipment – Mini Excavator and Trail for Trails Construction - $45,000 Each year, Town staff within the Office of Outdoor Recreation work to build and improve trail system projects. This crew has been working to improve their processes and identify a specific piece of equipment that would have the greatest benefit to those efforts. The mini excavator is small and nimble enough to get into position while packing power and providing unmatched functionality. The specified unit includes a thumb feature for picking up heavy objects and an auger for installation of signposts. The price includes a dedicated trailer to move the unit around to various jobs. As this is not a unit currently in our vehicle program, the addition of it to the fleet will require one-time funding. We will determine the expected life span and include those details in the vehicle replacement program moving forward.
Partner Contribution – Golden Mussel Defense - $15,000
There is regional concern of the potential for infestation of invasive mussels species into waters within Mono Couty, which would likely result in devastating consequence for regional ecosystems and economies. The chosen strategy, based on industry standards, has been for certain jurisdictions to create an ordinance that mandates trailered watercraft inspection and stickering, alongside continued outreach, education, and field support efforts. Mono County is seeking partnership from the Town in operational costs of the annual inspection program. The County has identified $15,000 annually as the appropriate amount in the partnership. This set aside would be the Town contribution for 2026. The program is not yet fully developed and collaborative work continues to refine the approach.
The mandated watercraft inspection and stickering program is proposed as follows:
Implementation of 2 – 3 new inspection stations (Bishop, Lee Vining, and possibly Bridgeport), and expected acceptance of inspections / stickers from select existing inspection stations (Ex.
Crowley Lake, Klondike Lake, Lake Diaz).
Inspection stations are expected to be open through fishing opener (~end of April) through fishing close (~mid November) and will hopefully operate 7 days per week for most of the day. Exact days and operating hours for each station are still being determined. Inspection stations are expected to be staffed with two employees, employed by Sierra Forever, who will be Authorized Inspectors (trained for inspection). Inspection process involves screening to determine risk, potential decontamination of watercraft, and sticker issuance. Those not willing to comply with the inspection and decontamination protocol are subject to watercraft quarantine, impoundment, and / or punitive measures as listed in the ordinance.
The entire inspection program for year one is estimated to cost approximately $70,000, of which most of the cost is for staffing. It is anticipated that CDFW will coordinate acquisition of decontamination stations, and therefore that the bulk of the cost will go towards inspection station staffing and outreach efforts.
13 Facilities – Airport Updates to Cal Fire Crew Quarters - $15,000 As mentioned above, the Town is leasing our current airport offices to Cal Fire to provide crew quarters for an engine company stationed on airport grounds. There will be a number of updates necessary to provide secondary access to the office space from the land side, providing quick access to emergency apparatus for quick response. This set aside is to fund some of these improvements in preparation for the lease. The lease will begin as soon as possible with all improvements completed and the crew stationed by June 1, 2026. The Town will receive a nominal lease of $4,150 per month for this space from Cal Fire.
Tourism Reserve
The tourism reserve was established to provide funding for tourism expenditures and is based on the normal allocation of TOT for tourism which is 2.35 points or 18.08% of TOT collected. This is considered a political commitment established by the Town Council to ensure tourism-related activities, and more recently housing activities, have a stable funding source. The distribution from the unallocated TOT was $723,100 for the second quarter. Staff are recommending $200,000 be allocated to special event funding and $200,000 for commercial air service.
Special Event Funding – Summer Series Enhancement - $200,000 The Town has been working on a replacement event site since Sam’s Woodsite sold last year. That site is no longer available for events and the Town has been working with Mammoth Lakes Tourism to identify a suitable and long-term replacement. Mammoth Mountain has stepped up with the potential to have Canyon Lodge represent that space, working on a solution that would make the facility affordable while augmenting the experience for our visitors. As Bluesapalooza has been postponed for 2026, there is an opportunity to work on the success of this site. To date, there are no identified events to add in that space, but these funds are designated for incremental events for this coming summer and our ability to test this concept.
Air Subsidy – Commercial Service BIH (United) - $200,000 Staff have been working for a few years with the Eastern Sierra Air Alliance in the development of air service. The focus for the Town has been to assist in funding a recovery of charter air service into Mammoth Yosemite Airport. In partnership with Mammoth Lakes Tourism (MLT) and Inyo County,
14 the Town entered into a memorandum of understanding on commercial air service in 2025 that established a member contribution of $200,000 for winter air service in Bishop.
Transit Reserve
The transit reserve was established to provide funding for transit related services and is based on the normal allocation of TOT for transit which is .85 points or 6.54% of TOT collected. This is considered a political commitment established by the Town Council to ensure transit services have a stable funding source. The allocation from the excess TOT was $261,500 for the second quarter. Staff have recommended $80,000 be allocated to real-time transit information systems at Town stops.
Transit System Improvements – Real-time information - $80,000 Staff have been working on a program that will share transit information in real time at the bus shelters within the Town. The Engineering team has identified a solution that is best suited for this effort and is seeking funding to implement the program.
OPTIONS ANALYSIS
Option 1: Receive the second quarter Fiscal Year 25-26 Budget Report and adopt the proposed resolution amending the Fiscal Year 25-26 budget as recommended in Attachment A – Budget Adjustments.
Option 2: Provide staff with alternate direction on the proposed budget amendments.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Authorize the Town Manager to execute an agreement with Systems Source, Inc. to purchase furniture for the Civic Center / Town Hall Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
Prepared by: Amy Callanan, PE Engineering Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend that the Town Council:
Authorize the Town Manager to finalize terms and execute an agreement with Systems Source, Inc. to purchase furniture for the Civic Center / Town Hall in a not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000.
Authorize the Public Works Director to review and execute minor amendments to the agreement, up to an additional 10% of the agreement amount. Allocate funds to the project from FD 980 Future Capital in the total amount of about $2.5M.
BACKGROUND:
On June 1, 2022, Town Council authorized a design contract with HMC for the New Civic Center project, using $1.9M in ARPA funds. The project progressed through design and the Town received bids on May 30, 2024. On July 3, 2024, the Town Council authorized the construction contract with the low bidder AMG and Associates, Inc. to construct the project. At the time of award, an additional $29.5M in funding was set aside from a variety of sources to cover the construction contract plus contingency and other expenses. It was previously reported at the June 19, 2024 Council meeting that the funding plan did not include soft costs for interior improvements such as furniture and the modular office wall system. Funds for these soft costs were expected to be allocated as needed while construction occurred, either from one-time revenues or from about $2.5M in additional funds that were identified in FD 980 Future Capital.
On December 17, 2025, Town Council authorized the Town Manager to finalize a contract for the DIRTT modular office wall system. This action was consistent with the design team’s intent to incorporate flexible work spaces that could potentially evolve as the Town’s needs grew and changed and was also expected be similar in cost and faster to construct than traditional permanent wall framing. The contract was funded using the project’s existing funding including a majority of the contingency, reserving the previously identified funds in FD 980 Future Capital for future needs.
Now, the project has further progressed to a point where a contract for furniture needs to be executed in order to deliver in a timely fashion for seamless installation.

ANALYSIS:
Staff have been working with the design consultants to identify a variety of furniture systems from various vendors to incorporate into the new building, in order to create efficient but modern work spaces that are also comfortable and inviting to both staff and the public. The components and configurations of both the closed and open office workspaces have been thoughtfully selected to maintain a consistent look while offering some degree of individual personalization. All workstations incorporate adjustable-height desks and a variety of storage options including locking drawers and coat closets, and guest seating. Materials are high quality and durable, and within budget.

Selection of ancillary furniture, such as conference room tables and chairs, additional storage components, and lounge seating for the public lobby as well as staff area is in progress and is expected to be finalized by the end of April. These furniture pieces are envisioned to blend the new Town Hall’s clean and modern look with a more traditional and comfortable mountain aesthetic that will stand the test of time.
9 Staff are recommending contracting with Systems Source, Inc. to use a combination of standard governmental contracts, including the California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS), Omnia Partners, and Sourcewell programs, for the purchase, delivery and installation of the various furniture components. The use of standard governmental contracts is available to state and local government agencies and is different than competitive procurement processes. The contracts offer a wide variety of products and services at prices which have been assessed to be fair, reasonable and competitive. Using a governmental contract is an efficient delivery method that eliminates time-consuming bidding procedures that would otherwise be required under Public Contract Code. The Town has used this contractual process to deliver many projects throughout Town, including the DIRTT modular wall systems at the CRC and Civic Center and the Playground at the Parcel.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The Civic Center project is currently funded in the amount of $31.3M. Existing contractual obligations, including the construction contract, design team support, the DIRTT modular walls among a few other items, fall within budget at $31.1M, leaving very little contingency. About $2.5M in additional funding is being held in FD 980 Future Capital and was previously identified as being available for use to cover additional expenses including modular walls and furniture. Furniture is estimated to cost approximately $1.5M.
Other estimated future expenses, including generator and other equipment, access control, additional contingency and miscellaneous other costs are projected to total an additional $1M. At this time, staff recommend formally allocating the previously identified $2.5M from FD 980 Future Capital to the project, therefore fully funding all contractual obligations as well as currently-projected costs.
1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Award Contract for Annual Linear Striping Maintenance of Town Roads MAINT 26-001
Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
Prepared by: Trace Calvin, Engineering Assistant
Amy Callanan, PE, Engineering Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Recommends Town Council:
• Approve the Plans and Specifications.
• Award the contract for Annual Linear Striping Maintenance of Town Roads, to the contractor and in the amount recommended by staff.
• Authorize the Town Manager to execute the contract.
• Authorize the Public Works Director to review and approve minor revisions to the contract to complete the project, up to an additional 10% of the annual award amount. • Authorize the Public Works Director to accept the work performed upon completion.
• Allocate funds to the project, in the amount recommended by staff, from the Town’s road rehab fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Mammoth Lakes traditionally performs annual maintenance on the linear striping of roads due to excessive wear from snow removal operations during our winter season. Typically, all linear striping within the Town of Mammoth Lakes has been repainted by Public Works staff each year in the spring. This work requires both hours of labor and specialized equipment to complete and takes time away from our crew performing other duties and maintenance tasks around the Town. Furthermore, linear striping layouts have varied slightly year after year since the Town has never had a detailed set of plans showing exact layout and dimensioning. Over time, this has created the appearance of multiple layers of linear striping on the road which can lead to confusion about where exactly the lanes are supposed to be.
By developing a plan set for the linear striping and contracting externally for this work, the Town can coordinate to have all of its linear striping completed annually in a timely manner once spring weather permits, while freeing up Public Works staff to complete other needed maintenance projects throughout Town. The proposed work also involves having the old linear striping removed where it conflicts with the official plan set to reduce any confusion.
2 ANALYSIS:
The proposed work is considered street maintenance, which is excepted from the formal bidding requirements for public projects under Public Contract Code Section 20161.
However, in the interest of finding a contractor who could provide both a reasonable price and complete the work within the desired timeframe, staff solicited bids for the project via the Town’s Online Bid Portal at the beginning of March. At the time of writing this staff report, bids have not yet been publicly opened but are scheduled to be opened at 4:00 PM on March 27, 2026.
Provided the Town receives a responsive bid from a contractor who is readily available to perform the work, staff will provide a recommendation for Town Council to award a contract to a specific contractor at the April 1, 2026 Town Council meeting. Staff are seeking to accelerate the contracting of this work. Winter quickly turned to summer, and Staff would like to see this work completed sooner than later.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The striping project is estimated to cost approximately $300,000 annually. The Town budgets $580,000 annually for various road rehabilitation and maintenance purposes. Staff proposes to allocate funding, in the amount of the recommended bid plus 10% contingency, from the Town’s annual road rehab balance.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The Annual Linear Striping Maintenance of Town Roads project is exempt per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301 (c), since the proposed project involves “operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing , licensing, or minor alteration of “Existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety, and other alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities, including but not limited to bicycle parking, bicycle-share facilities and bicycle lanes, transit improvements such as bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes).” National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was not required for this project.
1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Award contract for Minaret MUP project CAP 22-004 to Spiess Construction Co., Inc.
Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
Prepared by: Matthew Freedman, PE, Associate Engineer
Amy Callanan, PE, Engineering Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Recommend Town Council:
Approve the Plans and Specifications.
Award a contract for the Minaret MUP base bid to the lowest responsive bidder, Spiess Construction Co., Inc. in the amount of $2,584,499.55. Authorize the Public Works Director to execute the construction contract and accept the project upon completion.
Authorize the Public Works Director to review and approve minor revisions to complete the project, up to the total funding amount.
BACKGROUND:
The Minaret multi-use path (MUP) project involves the construction of an approximately 6,800-LF path along the west side of Minaret Road. The MUP will close the gap between the Town Loop trail along Old Mammoth and Minaret Roads and the Lakes Basin MUP, North Village, and mountain resort facilities near the intersection of Main Street and Minaret Road. The need for this path has long been identified within the Town’s Mobility Element. Separated bicycle and pedestrian facilities will provide for a more legitimate option for people to change their mode of travel from motorized vehicles to other selfpropelled modes, increasing health and reducing environmental impacts. The MUP will also incorporate Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant ramps and will connect residential and multi-family housing to other MUPs and sidewalks that access school facilities at the east end of the Town.
The design for this project was performed by consultant Kimley-Horn in 2022 using State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding. $3M in STIP construction funds were also programmed for FY 25/26 and were successfully allocated by the California Transportation Commission in December 2025. Following the STIP funding allocation, the project was released for bid, with the goal of starting construction this spring.
2 ANALYSIS:
Staff solicited bids for the construction of the project beginning February 13, 2026. Bids were publicly opened on March 20, 2026, at 3:30 PM. Two (2) bids were received with base bid pricing as follows:
Spiess Construction Co., Inc.: $2,584,499.55
Qualcon Contractors, Inc.: $3,108,736.75
A bid review was completed, and no irregularities were identified.
Staff is recommending the award of the base bid to the lowest responsive bidder, Spiess Construction Co., Inc., in the amount of $2,584,499.55.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
On January 30, 2026, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated STIP construction funding in the amount of $3,000,000 in response to the Town’s letter dated November 10, 2025 requesting a fund allocation from the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for the installation of a Class I shared-use bicycle and pedestrian path with shoulders. The funding source requires the Town to award a contract within 6 months of allocation (by July 30, 2026). After award of the contract, the Town has up to 36 months to complete the construction. Staff expect construction to start early in the season because of current mild weather conditions and be completed before end of 2026.
In addition, the cost to construct portions of the MUP adjacent to the vacant “Woods Site” and “Mammoth Crossings” sites located at 5699, 5781, 5857 and 5901 Minaret Road are expected to be reimbursed to the Town on a per-linear-foot basis by the prospective developers. This provision would be included as a condition of approval for the proposed development projects. Should the projects be approved, and once the Town receives reimbursement from the developer(s), Staff will return to Town Council with a recommendation for allocation of those funds to other projects, as needed.
The cost of the proposed project is therefore well within the funds available, as described below:
Funding Source
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) $ 3,000,000.00 Project Cost Amount
Base Bid $ 2,584,499.55
Contingency (~16%) $ 415,500.45
Total $ 3,000,000.00
3 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The Minaret MUP project is categorically exempt per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301 (c), since the proposed project involves “Existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety, and other alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities, including but not limited to bicycle parking, bicycle-share facilities and bicycle lanes, transit improvements such as bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes).” A Notice of Exemption (NOE) was posted on August 12, 2021. Conformance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was not required for this project.
