Title: California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CADFW) Update Meeting Date: June 3, 2026
Prepared by: Lawson Reif, Outdoor Recreation Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
This is an informational item only.
BACKGROUND:
Part of the character of Mammoth Lakes is the wildlife that calls this area home. While the Eastern Sierra supports many different species, our Black Bears are often at the forefront of community and visitor interest, along with requiring substantial management.
The Town strives to manage our wildlife following the best scientific standards and with assistance from our partners.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CADFW) is the entity that manages wildlife in the State, including our black bears in Mammoth Lakes. CADFW uses the best science available to manage California’s diverse wildlife species and in an effort to help keep our community informed, will present on its bear management practices, summer plans, and objectives.
As the partnership between the Town and CADFW continues to grow, we seek to establish a consistent cadence of interaction between Council and CADFW to improve communication, management, and community engagement.

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Update on Middle Income Housing
Council Meeting Date: 6/3/2026
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Town Manager;
Nolan Bobroff, Community and Economic Development Director Marcus Sproll, Housing Manager
Recommended Motion: No motion needed, discussion item only.
Summary: Over the past two months, staff have presented informational items on the recent 2026 Housing Needs Study (April 1, 2026), Defining Middle Income Workforce Housing (May 6, 2026), and Financing Middle Income Rental Housing (May 20, 2026). There are several key items staff would like to clarify and update before moving forward with the next presentation on a Model Middle-Income Rental Project and a proposed resolution regarding the Town’s housing priorities going forward.
1. Middle-income rental housing is the current greatest housing need in the Town a. Need for 560 middle-income housing units
b. One bedroom rental units are the greatest need
2. Middle-income rental housing is defined as being in the income range of 80 percent to 120 percent of area median income
a. This segment of the community includes workers such as nurses, teachers, small business owners, and first responders
b. They often earn sufficient income to afford close to existing market rents, but there is a lack of availability
3. Middle-income rental rates in this range are approximately 10% below existing market rents on average
a. Adding new inventory is a priority, as existing rental housing is decades old and the supply is not sufficient for the need
b. New high quality efficient units would increase quality of life and reduce utility expenses
4. Financing of a middle-income rental housing development meeting the above definition is challenging, but a publicly owned and financed project may be a path forward a. The private market is unable to finance a rental project that is restricted to between 80 percent and 120 percent of area median income, as the project would not cash flow
b. Several Colorado towns have successfully financed this product type with a combination of public equity and project debt in the form of bonds
5. Upon completion of the informational middle-income presentation series, staff are looking for Town Council direction on whether to prioritize the development of a middle-income rental housing project under the Housing Now! program for the next few years

AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
ENACTING MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 8.40
REGARDING AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES
WHEREAS, the Town Council is aware of a growing threat to Eastern Sierra waters from non-native and invasive aquatic freshwater mussel species, which can proliferate rapidly and alter aquatic ecosystems by consuming native species and food resources; and WHEREAS, these aquatic invasive species pose a significant and imminent threat to the Mammoth Community Water District’s water intake infrastructure in Lake Mary, as mussels can severely foul structures, pipes, and other facilities, requiring intensive de-fouling efforts or replacement of the affected facilities; and
WHEREAS, once established in a body of water, aquatic invasive species have proven to be extremely difficult to eradicate, making prevention of the arrival of invasive species in bodies of water the most effective strategy for dealing with this problem; and WHEREAS, both the County of Inyo and the County of Mono have adopted comprehensive ordinances establishing water vessel inspection programs, with the goal of requiring inspection of the types of watercraft most likely to transport aquatic invasive species to unaffected bodies of water; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council wishes to provide for the applicability and enforcement of the County of Mono ordinance within the territory of the Town of Mammoth Lakes, subject to appropriate amendments to clarify how the ordinance applies within Town limits; and WHEREAS, the Town Council finds that having a common water vessel inspection program with the County of Mono will help avoid public confusion and will facilitate compliance by both County and Town residents, as well as visitors;
THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Town Council hereby amends the Mammoth Lakes Municipal Code enacting a new Chapter 8.40, entitled “Aquatic Invasive Species”, to read as set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Title: Update on Contract Negotiation with Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) Council Meeting Date: 6/3/2026
Prepared by: Andrew Morris, Town Attorney
Recommended Action: The Town Council to receive an update on negotiations with MLR and provide comments and directions to finalize negotiations Summary: The contract between MLR and the Town is set to expire on June 30, 2026. The contract is aligned with the Town’s fiscal year, spanning July 1st through June 30th. The Town Council appointed Mayor Pro-tem Truax and Councilmember Sauser to the negotiation team, supported by Town Attorney, Andy Morris. These negotiations have been ongoing, and the negotiating team would like to update the Town Council on progress and specific requests presented during negotiations.
Attached:
1. MLR proposed contract amendments
2. Current contract, Scope of Services and Deliverables
In the past five years, Town has invested ~500k into MLR which has resulted in ~2million worth of funding services that support ongoing Town programs and projects.
Existing Scope
Total Ask for Investment: $115,000
Rollover of Current Deliverables - EXHIBIT A
Expanded Scope
Total Ask for Investment: $60,000 for 2026-2027 for MLR to assume operational responsibility for expanded program delivery through part-time staffing resources:
3 - Year Contract Schedule
Base Contract (6.5%, 3%, 3%) + P&R Amenities Enhancement Program Year 1: $150,000 + 25,000 = $175,000
Year 2: $154,500
Year 3: $159,135
Program Overview of Expanded Scope
1. MLR to Re-Launch Recreation Amenity Enhancement Program Re-launch and scale donor-supported recreation amenity enhancement programs that generate new revenue streams to improve parks, recreation facilities, and community programming.
● Asking initial investment of $25,000 to re-launch the program. ● Phased multi-year ROI: In year 2, anticipate minimum annual revenue $10k and aim to grow this program to ~$100k in order facilitate the program administrative costs to be self funded long-term.
● The Parks and Recreation Department has identified the opportunity for MLR to manage this program due MLR’s proven success with taking over
program administration of Eastern Sierra Adopt-a-Trail and Tangle-Free Waters.
This would be an extension of a strong partnership where MLR continues to bring in additional funding for the TOML.
Note: Currently, the program has been on hold due to lack of town staffing capacity.
i. The program goal is to be largely self-supporting after initial start-up costs. Funding is for staff augmentation and continued program development in contract years 2 and 3.
ii. A mix of contracted and MLR staff will be responsible for the following:
1. Inventory and mapping of current facilities/infrastructure
2. Coordination with persons involved in current program
3. Identification of additional amenities to grow program
4. Development of program structure, guidelines, roles and responsibilities
5. Development of web-based program
6. Purchase of fee processing platform (“the Store”)
7. Marketing and outreach
2. MLR is asking $35,000 to continue to perform administrative, fiscal, and field operations for Stewardship Programs (Tangle Free Waters and Eastern Sierra Adopt-a-Trail programs)
a. The original program outlined the partnership such that MLR performed administrative and fiscal duties while TOML performed field operations. MLR has assumed responsibilities to perform field operations since 2024.
Other near-future strategic opportunities for MLR to support TOML:
Community Forums
MLR has a strong interest in organizing community forums to gather stakeholder feedback, identify service and infrastructure gaps, and align recreation, arts and culture, and mobility investments with evolving community priorities.

Mammoth Lakes Town Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Approve Agreements with California Department of Forestry and Firefighting to Station Resources at the Mammoth Yosemite Airport.
Council Meeting Date: 6/3/2026
Prepared by: Soibian Spring, Airport Manager
Recommended Motion: Approve Agreements between California Department of Forestry and Firefighting (CalFire) and the Town of Mammoth Lakes for Emergency Use of Facilities (Contract for Aircraft on station) and a lease agreement for living quarters for an engine company located on Mammoth Yosemite Airport.
Summary: The Town has been working for a few years to bring additional firefighting resources to Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH). The goal is to bring resources like firefighting aircraft into our region for fast response to threats that may emerge. This effort is one of the Town Council Strategic Priorities of Public Safety through Facility Optimization.
In this agreement, the Town will lease a building and hanger space to house an engine company to be located at the Airport. This engine company will be available to respond to emergencies off the Airport and in support of our AARF crew for any emergencies on the Airport. The lease covers crew quarters and parking for fire apparatus.
The second agreement is for an aircraft to be on station at the airport for 6 months of the year during the highest fire season, June 1 – December 31. This mobilization allows CalFIRE to respond to emerging incidents on the east side of the Sierras, an area that has until now been outside of their stated 20-minute response target for air operations This mobilization will consist of a CH-47 helicopter, support vehicles and equipment staged on the commercial ramp.
There is a modest financial incentive for the Airport and the FBO to support this contract, $120 per 24-hour period shared 50/50 between organizations. The greater financial consideration lies in the potential protection of priceless communities and wilderness.

B The quarters shall consist of an office building, or portion thereof, if so indicated, and appurtenant facilities complete and ready for occupancy and in accordance with design plans designated Exhibit "A", and with these Exhibit “B” Short Form Specifications.
C The State's intent is to achieve adequate standards of quality and yet avoid unnecessary alterations so that in all cases where an existing feature meets requirements specified herein, Lessor's obligation is only to maintain that feature as it exists.
D In case of conflict between Exhibit “A” and these Exhibit “B” specifications, the Exhibit “A” shall supersede.
E Wherever reference is made to "State," "Agency," "Department," or other State of California administrative department, it shall be construed to mean "Department of Forestry and Fire Protection." Any deviation from the Exhibits "A" and "B" of the lease shall require approval from the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
01.02 NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CODE REQUIREMENTS
A These Exhibit “B” Short Form Specifications and design criteria describe minimum standards of quality and construction for premises leased for State use.

Should the State elect not to require accessibility compliance fully or extend the time frame for compliance as defined in the lease exhibits, it does not relieve the lessor of the responsibility to comply with the above requirements. The State will not supersede the requirements imposed by any enforcing agencies. This note applies to the site improvements including but not limited to path of travel from/to public transportation and public rights-of-way, parking, passenger drop-off and loading zones, walks and sidewalks, curb ramps, ramps, stairs, entrances and exits, lobbies, elevators, access lifts, doors and gates, access to and through all rooms and spaces, restrooms, signs and identification, counters, waiting and seating areas, assistive listening systems, telephones, drinking fountains, alarms, and horizontal/vertical access, etc.

Welded steel moment frames (WSMF) that constitute the primary seismic force-resisting system for the building, and the structure was designed to code requirements preceding those of the 1997 edition of the Uniform Building Code, and the building site has experienced an earthquake of sufficient magnitude and site peak ground motions that inspection is required when any of the conditions of Section 3.2 of FEMA 352 indicate an investigation of beam-column connections is warranted
ix. Visible signs of distress or deterioration of structural or non-structural systems, e.g.; excessively cracked and/or spalling concrete walls or foundations, wood dry rot, etc.
3. Certification of the above requirements must be provided by an independent, licensed structural engineer at the Lessor's expense.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Resolution for Airport Emergency Contract.docx
Meeting Date: June 3, 2026
Prepared by: Riley Griesenbeck, Facilities and Asset Manager Soibian Spring, Airport Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution finding that emergency circumstances justify awarding contracts for installation of air conditioning, electrical system improvements, and plumbing work to facilitate CalFIRE’s lease of the existing airport office.
BACKGROUND:
Recognizing the year roundthreat of fire danger, the Town of Mammoth Lakes Town Council has prioritized Public Safety through project identification and implementation.
Mammoth Yosemite Airport’s specific priority is to increase utilization of facilities to further protect the community and provide regional support services including medivac and firefighting aircraft.
The CalFIRE San Bernadino Unit is endeavoring to provide coverage to their 800,000 acres of new State Responsibility Area as soon as possible. This area extends up from their Round Valley station to the Nevada state line along Highway 395. In seizing the opportunity to situate CalFIRE on the airfield through providing crew and engine quarters for a 3-year term, we are bringing aerial fifefighting protection to the area earlier than anticipated. This enables the organization to test the location for a permanent purposebuilt heli-tac facility. It requires Staff to relocate from their current office to a temporary construction office trailer and to upfit the current office to livable crew quarters. This was a last minute decision on the part of CalFIRE and they are expediting a process that typically takes 3 to 6 months, in order to be in place for the start of fire season. The Exclusive Use helicopter associated with this mobilization will be on the airport and ready for response on June 1st, 2026. The CalFIRE Mammoth Station will need to be ready for occupancy shortly after.
ANALYSIS:
2 The ability of the Town to award a contract for this work through the normal bidding process will result in significant delays to the necessary installation and could result in inability of CalFIRE staff to occupy their leased office space, delays in the acquisition and installation of a new office trailer for airport staff, and general disruptions to airport operations. The public interest and safety demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard the health and property of the Town of Mammoth Lakes. The attached resolution makes necessary finding for Town staff to proceed with the award of emergency contracts to install air conditioning for CalFIRE’s office space and purchase and install a new office trailer for airport staff with full utility hookups.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
This project will be funded by existing airport budgets that were allocated during the 2nd quarter budget adjustment process. The total project cost is estimated at $90,000.00.

Fiscal Year 26-27 Tentative Budget
TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Fiscal Year 26-27 – Tentative Budget (Manager Recommended) Meeting Date: June 3, 2026
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff are requesting Council review and comment on tentative budget (Manager Recommended) that will assist staff in preparing the final phase of our FY26-27 budget process. Staff will use direction and additional research to bring a final budget presentation to the Town Council for public hearing and adoption on June 17.
BACKGROUND:
This report provides information related to the FY26-27 tentative budget (Manager Recommended). This phase of the budget is built on recommendations from Department Heads as well as feedback received from the Town Council in the preliminary budget presentation on May 6 th. The budget presented on May 6th had a deficit of $2,792,615 and outlined a number of expenditures that were increased over prior year. The revenue presented in that budget was a logical progression of current trends with a remaining level of conservativism that is customary in the Town’s budget process. Staff have been working on modifications to both revenue and expenditure to bring the budget into balance. Staff have included a list of changes for review during the tentative budget presentation. The tentative budget for the General Fund currently reflects a deficit of $122,474 with expenditures ($38,710,824) exceeding revenues ($38,588,350). Staff continue to work on a few key elements of the budget that may have an effect on this balance.
Garage Service and Vehicle Replacement still have analysis and modifications which will be completed by the final budget presentation on 6/17.
Fund 100 - General Fund
Revenue
The preliminary budget presented to Council on May 6th included the revenue projection originally presented to the Town Council on April 15th, with only minor modifications. As noted above, the preliminary budget introduced a detailed review of department level expenditures, primarily impacted by raising labor costs. In order to address those rising costs, staff have reviewed original revenue projections to determine where adjustments could be made to address the identified deficit. The primary methodology used in revenue projections is conservative growth, respecting the overall volatility of the Town’s revenue streams, which is almost completely dependent on visitation. Staff have included a “reasonable” growth to Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) as the primary revenue source to address operational needs. Staff believe this budget to be well within the current lodging projections and historical trends of the last few years; however, it does remove some safety margin to unforeseen impacts. The result of this modification will ultimately impact the ability for the Town to fund one-time investment in housing, capital projects, equipment, and
Fiscal Year 26-27 Tentative Budget Page 2
maintenance, a notable shift from prior practices. The inflection point is a term that has often been used to identify a time when the operational costs of the organization will align with its ability to generate revenue, resulting in very little unallocated revenue. The outcome of these events is a reduction in strategic growth, seeking opportunities for efficiency and other cost reduction measures.
The modifications to revenue included in the tentative budget include an increase of $2.0M in TOT, bringing the budgeted increase over the prior year to $3.5M. Staff also made modifications to Property and Sales Tax projections, increasing a combined $600,000 over original estimates.
Finally, the Town included a transfer in of $300,000 from Measure U to support operational costs of the Dave and Roma McCoy Arts and Cultural Center. This operational support has been noted as a placeholder within Measure U for several years, with FY26-27 being the first year of transfer.
While the facility will not be operational until the last quarter of FY26-27, the operational costs noted in the budget will far exceed $300,000 with very little revenue potential, requiring the full Measure U support. In total revenue has increased $2,900,000 since the preliminary budget, bringing the General Fund revenue to $38,588,350 for FY26-27. Below is a summary of General Fund revenue adjustments:

Fiscal Year 26-27 Tentative Budget Page 5
Expenditure
There were a few significant updates to expenditures since the May 7th preliminary budget presentation. As noted above, the Town increased the TOT revenue projection by $2.0M. This revenue stream has political commitments to Tourism, Transit and Housing that are based on a percentage of collected TOT, funding these reserves. The percentages are as follows: Tourism
18.08%, Transit 6.54%, and Housing 6.54% and each have been included in the tentative budget as additional expense of $622,900. Staff have also made modifications to vehicle replacement charges, calculating a 12.5% reduction in the overall charge for FY26-27 ($122,732). As was noted in the Preliminary Budget, the Town implemented new vehicle charges for FY26-27 that included a higher cost of inflation for vehicle replacement costs and other modifications, resulting in a significant increase in department level charges. The change in approach noted above represents a softening of the increase in these modifications. The preliminary budget included a placeholder for reserve increases that were noted from the prior year. As staff have not addressed the reserve increases that will be necessary for FY26-27, these placeholders remained in place. The removal of these elements reduced expenses by $90,308. The reserve requirements, using our current policy, would require an additional $1.25M allocation for the revenue increases that are currently present in the FY26-27 budget. Staff do not see a way to fund these reserves during the budget process, as has been done previously, and will seek the allocation of one-time money for FY25-26 to address the shortfall. It is possible to have these increases unfunded but that would result in the Town being out of compliance with its reserve policy. During review of Measure R and U, the $180,000 committed to pay debt service on the Town Hall debt service was not reflected in our overall debt service payment, meaning the entire payment was charged to the General Fund. By including this payment, Measure U reduced the General Fund expenditure by $180,000. Measure U funding is a portion of the debt service as recognition for a portion of the Mammoth Lakes Foundation land purchase used for the Dave and Roma McCoy Arts and Cultural Center.
Previously the entire debt service payment was indicated in General Fund expenditure. In total, these expenditure adjustments increased expense by $229,860 for the General Fund bringing the total expenditures to $38,710,825 for FY26-27. The chart below reconciles these changes:

Fund 205 Solid Waste
The Solid Waste Fund accounts for restricted revenues related to providing solid waste related services and programs and was established in FY18-19. The majority of the solid waste programs and services are provided by Mammoth Disposal under a Solid Waste Franchise Agreement. The Fund supports recycling and trash services for Town facilities, Town clean up, and staff time associated with managing the Solid Waste Franchise agreement and services. The renewal of the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement in FY 19-20 adjusted the franchise fees by 4.5% from 5% to
9.5%. Two percent of the increase was retained in the General Fund, and 2.5% percent is deposited in the Solid Waste Fund. The fees deposited here represent an AB 939 fee collected under the new franchise agreement and are estimated at $150,000 for FY26-27. AB 939 fees are dedicated to meeting recycling mandates by funding facilities and programs to divert waste from landfills and increase recycling efforts. Previously an amount equal to 2% was being received and set aside to assist in the development of new solid waste facilities; this amount was formally incorporated into the franchise fee with the new agreement resulting in a net franchise fee increase of 2.5%. A Solid Waste Parcel fee is levied in Mono County and was shared with the Town by the County under a previous agreement. The parcel fee may be used to fund solid waste-related infrastructure and operations, as well as closing costs associated with Benton Crossing Landfill. The Town generates close to $500,000 for solid waste services from the fee for County solid waste operations.
Fund 210 Gas Tax
Gas Tax Fund only has minor edits from the preliminary budget, related to modifications in the vehicle replacement charges noted above as a significant portion of those charges are in fund 210.
The reduction in General Fund expenditure is the result of a reduction in the General Fund contribution to support Gas Tax for balancing purposes. The Gas Tax fund was reduced by $82,333 and is in balance with total revenue of $5,760,199 matching expenditures for FY26-27.

Measure R and U – Restricted Funding
Revenues generated from two voter initiatives commonly referred to as Measure R and Measure U are restricted in use by the language of the initiatives. The Town Council has designated Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) to be the body to take public input on the proposed use of these funds and to make recommendations to the Town Council for consideration. The MLR Board will meet on June 8, 2026, for a budget hearing on Measure R and U funds. The numbers below represent a preliminary review of R and U and the final budget will include any recommendations provided by MLR during this hearing.
Measure R - Trails (Fund 215) receives a transfer of $300,000 from Measure R (Fund 216) where sales tax proceeds are received. This allocation remains consistent with the prior year’s allocation. The Trails fund is separated from the Measure R fund in order to provide clarity on expenditures for this important recreation amenity, as well as accumulate a fund balance to help with future trail construction projects. With the creation of the General Fund department 467 – Office of Outdoor Recreation in FY22-23, many of the trails administrative expenses have been moved to this new department. The only remaining labor expense in this fund is used specifically for trail construction. The FY 25-26 budget has balanced revenue and expenditure with no planned change in fund balance.
Measure R (Fund 216) is budgeted to receive $2,000,000 in Sales Transactions and Use Tax revenues for FY26-27. The fund has operating expenditures of $725,500 for FY26-27. The Community Recreation Center (CRC) has been in operation since FY23-24, and the operational plan includes $112,000 in annual support from Measure R. This support helps reduce the fees required by the public and therefore the affordability of the new center. The budget includes support for the Office of Outdoor Recreation in the form of $100,000 for the Trails Manager, $50,000 for the Trails Program Manager, formerly the Recreation Coordinator, and $25,000 for the Office of Outdoor Recreation Manager. These positions are critical for the management of trails and other outdoor recreation amenities and are the primary Town staff supporting Mammoth Lakes Recreation. The budget includes $105,000 for the contract with Mammoth Lakes Recreation to fund operations for FY26-27.
Fiscal Year 26-27 Tentative Budget
In October 2017, the Town acquired $5.5 million in debt secured by Measure R for construction of a multiuse facility. The annual payment for this 10-year bond is based on a payment schedule and includes $615,126 for FY26-27. This payment is included in the FY26-27 budget as a transfer out to fund 990 Debt Service, where all debt payments are made. Below is the debt service schedule for this debt.
Fiscal Year 2
6-27 Tentative Budget Page 13
Fiscal Year 26-27 Tentative
Budget
Measure U (Fund 217) is projected to receive revenue of $1,110,000 in collection of User Utility Tax for FY26-27. This budgeted revenue is consistent with prior year estimates and remains conservative as the average revenue collected is slightly higher than these estimates and does not include any estimate for interest revenue. Interest is determined by available interest rates from standard investment tools as well as the balance on hand. Both of these components are highly variable and therefore not included as a revenue estimate. Any interest received will contribute to covering expenditure and ultimately will end up contributing to fund balance increases.
The bulk of the expenditure remained unchanged for FY26-27 with the exception of the removal of $15,000 in support of the Edison Theater operations. The $15,000 was budgeted to support the Edison Theater during construction of the new facility. The Dave and Roma McCoy Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) is expected to be operational in FY26-27 and therefore the committed operational support of $300,000 will be transferred to the General Fund. The $300,000 is the full amount committed to support of the facility, and staff have removed the $15,000 from the FY26- 27 budget.
The purchase of the Mammoth Lakes Foundation (MLF) property is a critical aspect of building the MACC. The Town financed this purchase as part of the larger Civic Center project, issuing Certificate of Participation - Lease Structured debt in July 2024. The total land cost is $4.5 million, which will be paid to MLF to secure the land. In this agreement, the Foundation would retain $1.5 million of the sale proceeds and donate $3.0 million to the construction of the MACC. Based on authorization from MLR in 2024, Measure U funds will contribute $180,000 annually to the debt service for the first 13 years. This debt service payment is indicated in the annual budget for Measure U and will be transferred to Fund 990 where all debt payments are made.
The difference between planned revenue and expenditure should produce an additional fund balance of $290,500 for the year.
15 Fund 218 – Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) The TBID fund projections include revenues of $7,400,000 for FY26-27. These numbers were calculated in conjunction with the Mammoth Lakes Tourism (MLT) annual budget process. The TBID account is a pass-through account, and the majority of these funds are transferred to Mammoth Lakes Tourism for marketing, advertising, promotion and MLT administration costs.
The Town is budgeted to receive 2% of the revenue for collection and administration costs ($148,000). In FY25-26 the TBID renewal increased rates for Ski Area and Golf Course to 2.5% which will produce additional funding that can be used to support programs outlined in the TBID Management District Plan.
16 Fund 245 - Housing Now!
Since 2021, the Town has committed significant funding and resources to the Housing Now! initiative. The goal of Housing Now! is to provide housing that is available and affordable to those working in the community, with both rental units and for-sale ownership units. To date, approximately 270 new affordable workforce units have been created under Housing Now! with 108 new units built, 14 units converted to affordable from existing market-rate units, 75 under construction and will be completed within the next 6 months, and 72 units in pre-development.
Almost all of these units are in the low-income category (≤80% AMI) [Orange area on the Housing Bridge figure below]. This is due to available federal and state funding sources and a significant need for additional workforce housing at all income levels as documented in the Town’s 2017 Housing Needs Assessment. A handful of rental and for-sale units have also been created in the middle-income category (81% AMI - 150% AMI) [Green area on the Housing Bridge].
As staff begin to look beyond projects currently underway, there is a need to develop a housing strategy to assist staff with prioritizing housing projects for funding. The initial step in this effort is complete with a Housing Needs Study completed in March 2026. The updated needs study identified that the Town has made significant progress in recent years in providing new units to address the low-income housing need, and now the current highest need is for middle-income rental housing in the 81% AMI to 120% AMI income range, with one-bedroom units the priority unit type.
In the upcoming year, the following housing projects will continue to be worked on:
The conversion of for-sale market-rate units to deed-restricted workforce housing units under the Bridge program
17 Completion of the initial 75 low-income rental units in Phase 2 of the Parcel (Kingfisher)), and the start of construction for an additional 72 low-income rental units (Kingfisher II) to complete Phase 2 by 2028.
Planning efforts for developing the remaining phases of the Parcel providing a capacity of up to 220 new units, with a focus on middle-income rental housing.
Missing Middle Project (AF5)
Staff have been evaluating options for the development of a large scale missing middle rental project. The Town Council has made a focus on missing middle housing a key strategic priority.
Starting in May Staff began a series of informational and educational presentations at Town Council meetings intended to ultimately develop consensus on a future project.
Fund 300 – Capital Projects
Multipurpose Building Phase 1 - Construction
The Multi-Purpose Building at Mammoth Yosemite Airport has been a concept since 2007, when TOML Staff moved out of their office and equipment storage building to accommodate a passenger terminal for commercial flights. The current Multi-Purpose Building is being built in phases or “usable units of work” as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) calls stand-alone portions of a project. Phase 1 is comprised of 4 usable units of work that have been funded by
18 Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) monies, along with the Town sponsor match of 5%, all totaling $2,234,630. The first unit is installing a vehicle access road to the Corporate Hangar row, which will separate vehicle traffic off of an aircraft movement area and be the public access road to the Multi-Purpose Building once built. The second and third units involve removing an existing taxiway connector and installing a new one 400 ft. to the west.
This will prevent aircraft from having direct access from hangars to the runway and will eventually align with the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) engine bay, providing direct emergency response to the runway. The final usable unit is the purchase of two Lighted Xs for use during the required runway closure associated with the taxiway construction. These are generator trailers with 12’ tall flashing Xs that are placed over the runway numbers to let pilots know not to land on the runway. These can be used for any type of runway closure (maintenance or incident). They can also be used as portable generators. These were funded due to the acknowledgement that runway closures impact the Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) financially and must be kept to a minimum. These Xs allow us to close the runway in the morning and re-open in the evening rather than leave the runway closed 24 hours a day for weeks at a time, which is typical. This project began on April 27th, 2026, and will be completed by July 10th, 2026.
CalFire Crew Quarters Upfit and Temporary Ops Office
Due to the year-round threat of fire and other challenges to the region, Staff have been pursuing the concept of a Public Safety Campus/Fire Base at Mammoth Yosemite Airport. One of the agencies responding to this year-round threat, along with 800,000 acres of increased responsibility area, is the California Department of Forestry. MMH is endeavoring to situate CalFire on the
19 airfield by providing crew and engine quarters for a 3-year term. This enables the organization to test the location for a permanent purpose-built heli-tac facility. It requires Staff to relocate from their current office to a temporary construction office trailer and to upfit the current office to livable crew quarters. Combined, this will cost approximately $90,000. The Exclusive Use helicopter associated with this mobilization will be on the airport and ready for response on June 1st, 2026.
The CalFire Mammoth Station will be ready for occupancy shortly after.
Multipurpose Building Phase 2-SRE Bays-Repackage/Design Phase 2 of the Multi-Purpose Building was intended as the total building itself, including snow removal equipment bays, the ARFF storage and Maintenance bays required by FAA, administrative offices and a small public facing lobby to facilitate public access to the airport.
Without sufficient enplanements, the FAA warned that it could take years to build up enough discretionary funding to facilitate this building. At the beginning of 2026, our FAA planning group made us aware of Airport Resiliency funding and flagged us as worthy recipients. We are on track to be awarded $1.5 million toward a building. Because this is not enough to build the entire project, we spent $79,000 to have the plans repackaged into a smaller “usable unit of work”. This will be in the form of a Snow Removal Equipment storage building. This project will go out to bid on May 29, 2026.
MMH Water Distribution System Fire Pump Replacement
The Mammoth Yosemite Airport Water Distribution is 25 years old. The fire pump, motor and controller have lived their useful lives and must be replaced. With equipment, retrofitting and installation, this project is estimated to cost $220,000. This work will commence in September of 2026.
20 Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) (GF9)
The MACC project is the result of a partnership between the Mammoth Lakes Foundation, Town of Mammoth Lakes, Cerro Coso/Kern Community College, and private donors, and is intended to be a year-round venue for performing arts events, including live theater, musical performances, films, lectures, conferences, and community activities. The MACC will be constructed as an addition to the existing Edison Hall located at 100 College Parkway on property recently purchased from the Mammoth Lakes Foundation (MLF), and includes the addition of a single-story, approximately 7,482 square-foot, 239-seat performing arts theatre with support spaces, a new trash enclosure, reconfiguration of the existing parking lot, and other site improvements such as walkway connections and landscape/revegetation of the disturbed site. On July 3rd, 2024, the Town Council authorized the Town Manager to execute a purchase and sale agreement (PSA) with Mammoth Lakes Foundation (MLF) for the acquisition of the property, and various minor amendments which were authorized on May 7, 2025. The Town broke ground on the project in late 2025 and expects to open the facility in summer of 2027. Funding sources for the new Performing Arts Auditorium project include Measure U Capital funding reserves of $4.5 M, $3M MLF contribution, Kern Community College District (local bond measure) funding of $7,500,000, and private donations.
Total Budget FY26-27 $18,970,000
21 Town Hall (GF14a and GF14b)
In February of 2024 the Town Council authorized bonding for the new Town Hall. Staff have been working with HMC Architects since 2022 on designs for the new facility. The project includes a new Town Hall with community spaces and offices for administrative staff. The schematic design included an emergency operations center (EOC). The Town hall project design was approved by the planning department in April 2024, and a construction contract was awarded in July of 2024.
Construction began shortly after and work will continue through summer 2026. Funding for the design came from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Construction of the project is funded by municipal bonds.
Total Budget FY26-27 Construction: $33,763,000
22 Shady Rest Restroom (PR15)
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. A new building will be designed to be year-round, ADA compliant and meet the changing needs of the facility. Funding for the design has been set aside. No funds for construction have been allocated. Thus far a topo survey has been completed as well as preliminary designs. Work will continue during the summer/fall of 2025. The project is expected to cost upwards of $1m to complete. Construction funding is proposed to spread over two years. The 2026-27 recommended appropriation is $300,000 and $400,000 in 2027-28.
Total Budget FY26-27 $900,000
23 Park Signage (PR16)
Funding was set aside to construct three new park monument signs. These signs will be consistent with the municipal signage and wayfinding program. The signs will be located at Mammoth Creek Park West, the Dog Park, and Shady Rest Park. Work will begin in summer 2026. The contract will be combined with the TBID signage and some informational signs at Mammoth Creek Park.
Total Budget FY26-27 $100,000
Old Mammoth Road Beautification
Funded by the Old Mammoth Road Assessment District, this project is intended to restore irrigation and provide landscape plantings like those along Main Street. For a few years the Town attempted to identify a contractor to work on the project. After an unsuccessful bid the Town directly negotiated with a local contractor to work on the project. Significant progress is expected in summer 2026. In spring of 2026 the irrigation was dug up, repaired and tested. Plantings are expected when weather permits.
Total Budget FY26-27: $500,000
24 Main Street South Side Multi-Use Path (MUP) (TR2)
The Main Street MUP will close a gap between the Lakes Basin Path and the Town Loop MUP located at Callahan Way. The project is located on the south side of SR203 within the Caltrans right-of-way. The project includes 1700LF of separated ADA compliant asphalt multi-use path, drainage improvements, slope protection, transit improvements, lighting, signage and wayfinding, and other supportive infrastructure. Thus far only the design phase has been funded. Construction funding is anticipated to come from future State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) shares. Staff and Council have only authorized the consultant to advance a series of alternatives for consideration. Staff are advocating funding this project for the 2027-28 construction season.
Total Budget FY26-27: $250,000
203 / Mountain Blvd Pedestrian Beacon (HSIP) (ST3)
The Town of Mammoth Lakes applied for and was awarded a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant to install crosswalk improvements at Mountain Boulevard. The installation will be similar to other pedestrian-activated crosswalks along Main Street. The new crosswalk will include the reconstruction of the north ADA ramp, the construction of a new ADA ramp on the south landing, striping, and installation of new posts, mast arms, and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) system to match other recently upgraded SR 203 crosswalks. The design will be coordinated with the South Main Street MUP which is currently in development.
Total Budget FY26-27: $350,000
25 Minaret / Meridian Round-a-Bout (ST15)
During the development and design of the Minaret MUP project Staff and its consultant reevaluated the possibility of a round-a-bout at the intersection of Meridian and Minaret. A rounda-bout has been contemplated in this location for at least two decades. The Mobility Element identified this location for a round-a-bout. The initial alignment looked viable so staff commissioned the completion of a project study report (PSR). The PSR was used to program funds to complete the project design. The project to be designed consists of roadway reconstruction and reconfiguration for approximately 400’-600’ along each of the four intersection legs at which point the improvements will tie into the existing roadways with existing lane configurations and striping.
Asphalt concrete will be removed, the roadway re-graded, and new asphalt pavement installed for the roundabout alignment. Additionally, medians and curb and gutter will be added, and existing utilities will be adjusted to match new finish grade. MUPs and cart paths along with appropriate crossings will be integrated into the design. In Late winter of 2026 Kimley-Horn presented initial concepts and simulations to the Town Council. The design phase of the project is funded by $180,000 in STIP and $220,000 in General Fund. Construction funding is anticipated to come from future STIP shares.
Total Budget FY26-27: $400,000
26 TBID Kiosk (TBID1)
In partnership with Mammoth Lakes Tourism (MLT) the Town would install informational kiosks at strategic locations around the Town. The kiosks were designed and engineered as part of the Municipal Signage and Wayfinding Project. Messaging would be developed to complement the target user groups and needs of the location. Messaging may be different in tourist vs resident areas. The three-sided signs provide opportunities for maps, special events, marketing and other messaging the Town and MLT are trying to communicate to residents and visitors. The project will be bid with the parks monument signs.
Total Budget FY26-27: $TBD
2026 Slurry Seal Project
In 2024 the Town started an annual slurry and fog seal program. In this initial year treatments were tested and evaluated. Based on the general success of the treatments Staff developed a plan to treat all of the roads in Town once every 5 years. In 2025 the Town bid and awarded a slurry project to treat roads in the Knolls neighborhood. This was the first section of Town to be treated. For 2026 the Town has bid the Slopes neighborhood. In advance of the work the Town road department crack sealed and patched all of the roads within the extent of the work. Work is expected to be completed over the summer and is funded by road rehabilitation dollars
Total Budget FY26-27: $700,000
27 2026 Town-wide Striping Project
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 re-painted by Public Works (PW) 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 on 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 PW 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 / layout to reduce any confusion. The project is expected to be completed by late spring 2026.
Total Budget FY26-27: $200,000
2026 Asphalt and Concrete Maintenance Project
Each winter damage is done to roads, MUPs, sidewalks, drainage infrastructure and other Town-owned assets in the public right-of-way. The Town set aside funds during the 2nd quarter to address any issues that arose from the winter of 25-26. The scope of work has not yet been developed for this effort as winter damage assessments have not yet been completed. These funds will supplement the road rehabilitation budget to make repairs to infrastructure as needed.
Total Budget FY26-27: $150,000
Minaret multi-use path (MUP)
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 Trail System Master Plan. 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 self-propelled 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 project was awarded in March of 2026 and will be completed in late summer of 2026.
Total Budget FY26-27: $3,000,000
28 Intelligent Transit System Improvements - Real Time Transit Information In April of 2026 the Town installed 2 real-time transit signs as a demo. In the months leading up to the installation the Town, the Eastern Sierra Transit Authority (ESTA) and Caltrans worked together to test and coordinate the various independent systems that make this project work. If the field test is successful, the Town will procure and install similar signage in all of the Town transit shelters. During the Q2 adjustment the Town set aside $80k for this effort.
Total Budget FY26-27: $80,000
Development Impact Fees (DIF) Fund (830 - 841)
The fees are restricted to capital projects and as fees come in and an appropriate project is moving forward, the budget will be amended based on actual funds received and passed through upon request from the proper agencies. The Town retains 4% of all funds received for administrative purposes. The fees in previous years have had significant increases based on large projects permitted within the Town. For FY26-27, staff expect to reflect a normal construction cycle for both building permit revenue and revenue for these DIF Accounts. Currently 10 of the funds have anticipated revenues and expenditures see chart below:
