Prepared by: Soibian Spring, Airport Manager
Recommended Motion: Approve findings to continue the authorized emergency contracts for installation of air conditioning, electrical system improvements and plumbing work to facilitate CalFIRE’s lease of the mobile home between the Terminal and the Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) buildings at Mammoth Yosemite Airport.

Summary: By prioritizing Facility Optimization of Mammoth Yosemite Airport, staff are providing crew quarters for a CalFIRE Engine Crew. This new CalFIRE station will be in the mobile home structure for three years, with the intention of occupying a purpose-built structure on the airfield in the future. On June 03, 2026, the Council adopted Resolution 26-31 authorizing the emergency awarding of contracts to complete the upfit of the current Airport staff headquarters in time for fire season. This project includes providing adequate plumbing, electrical and HVAC utilities in the CalFIRE unit and working facilities for the Airport staff.

CalFIRE now occupies the former Airport Administrative quarters. In addition to the upgrades made by contractors and airport crew, CalFIRE has installed state signage, radio, internet and telephone infrastructure. They will continue to upfit the structure to suit the needs of the fire crews as needed. A ribbon cutting ceremony is in the works for the new CalFIRE Mammoth Lakes Station. Airport staff and contractors are now turning toward the site work required to receive the temporary construction office trailer that will house Airport staff. The need for the work authorized by Resolution 21-36 continues to be necessary. A copy of the resolution is attached here for reference.

Prepared by: Pam Smitheman, Assistant Engineer
Recommended Motion: Staff recommends that Town Council adopt the attached resolution ordering the levy and collection of assessment within Community Facilities District No. 2013-3 (Transit Services) for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Summary: The Town developed the Community Facilities District (CFD) 2013-3 (Transit Services) in 2014 for subdivisions in the Resort Zone that allow transient occupancies. The imposition of such a tax at an appropriate rate would satisfy the fiscal impact requirements of the Town’s mitigation requirements for the 2007 General Plan Environmental Impact Report and the Intrawest Development Agreement to which the parcels are subject. The Town Council adopted Goals and Policies for Community Facilities District at the March 6, 2013 meeting. The Notice of Intent was adopted by Town Council Resolution No. 14-14 on April 2, 2014. Properties are not subject to the tax until a certificate of occupancy permit has been issued after construction.

The special tax was previously levied in the original territory of the District beginning in fiscal year 2013/14 pursuant to Ordinance No. 13-04. The ordinance was passed and adopted by the Town Council on May 1, 2013, and the special tax was levied commencing in fiscal year 2014-15.

The District, including the Annexation Territories, is to be levied each fiscal year to pay for services for the District and all costs of administering the District.

The Transit Services CFD No. 2013-3 tax rate for each qualified property beginning in the 2026/27 fiscal year is $225.56 per dwelling unit or transient rental room. The total special tax requirement for the district is $39,698.60.

Mammoth Lakes Town Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Adopt the Resolution ordering the levy and collection of assessment within the Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (Fractional) Mello Roos District.

Council Meeting Date: 7/1/2026
Prepared by: Pam Smitheman, Assistant Engineer
Recommended Motion: Staff recommends that Town Council adopt the attached Resolution ordering the levy and collection of assessment within the Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (Fractional) Mello Roos District for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Summary: In 2005 the Town Council established Town of Mammoth Lakes Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (Fractional) Mello Roos District. The district includes all fractional use developments within the Town, and the Town is authorized to levy a special tax upon these developments. The special tax is levied upon the property owners that annex into the district to fund authorized services and capital projects.

The special tax, if levied as recommended, is anticipated to generate $200,001.72 in revenue that can be used for services such as parks maintenance and recreation. This is not a General Fund Tax, but a Mello Roos Tax. It is restricted to certain programs or services that were not in existence prior to formation of the Mello Roos District. This will continue funding what has been in place for multiple years and will continue to partially fund parks maintenance staff and ice rink operations. The annual levy, if approved by Council, will continue to be levied in the future.

The Mello Roos tax along with multi-use facilities revenues are programmed to fund multi-use facility operations.

Mammoth Lakes Town Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Adopt the Resolution ordering the levy and collection of assessment within the Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (In Lieu DIF) for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Council Meeting Date: 7/1/2026
Prepared by: Pam Smitheman, Assistant Engineer
Recommended Motion: Staff recommends that Town Council adopt the attached resolution ordering the levy and collection of assessment within the Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (In Lieu DIF) for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Summary: In 2008, the Town Council established Town of Mammoth Lakes Community Facilities District No. 2005-1. The District permits a property owner to avoid paying a portion of the Development Impact Fees and instead annex into the District and pay an annual special tax.

The Town is authorized to levy a special tax upon these property owners that annex into the District and the special tax will fund authorized services and capital projects.

The resolution before the Council imposes the District’s Maximum Facilities Special Tax and the Maximum Services Special Tax at the authorized adjusted rate for Fiscal Year 2026/27. It also finds that there are authorized services and authorized facilities to be funded from the tax proceeds for the fiscal year. Amounts to be collected on the County tax bill must be submitted to the County by July 10th. The primary expenses are for administering the District and a funding contribution to capital projects listed on the Capital Improvement Program.

The special tax, if levied as recommended, is anticipated to generate $3,019.82 in revenue for fiscal year 2026/27. Future annexations added into the In Lieu District by future development provides an option for a developer to defer certain Development Impact Fees and ‘pass it on’ to future property owners, thereby reducing the cost to a developer.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Authorize the Town Manager to approve sub-contractor substitutions Meeting Date: July 1, 2026
Prepared by: Haislip Hayes, PE Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend that the Town Council
 Authorize the Town Manager to approve sub-contractor substitutions and additions for the Town of Mammoth Lakes New Civic Center project.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Contract Code (PCC) requires the contractor provide, at the time of bidding, the names of all subcontractors whose work would exceed ½ of 1 percent of the contract.

The construction contract for the Town of Mammoth Lakes New Civic Center project and Public Contract code requires that any substitution of subcontractors be accomplished only in strict conformance with the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practice Act (Public Contract Code Sections 4100 through 4114), which requires the awarding body or its designee to authorize the substitutions. If a request is approved the Town is required to provide written notice to the withdrawing subcontractor by Public Contract Code Section 4107 before the actual approval. Currently, a substitution request is anticipated for a nonperforming sub-contractor on the project. To expedite the approval process staff recommend that the Town Manager be designated authority to approve such changes.

While not common the Town has experienced similar issues on recent projects such as the Community Recreation Center and Dog Park. In both instances the Town Manager was ultimately delegated with authority to approve such requests.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The anticipated substitution is not expected to have an impact on the current budget. Any future substitution, if necessary, will be evaluated independently on its merits and impacts.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Staff work with legal council on each substitution request to ensure the Town stays in compliance with current practices and laws.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Authorize the Town Manager to execute an agreement with DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc. to purchase and install partition walls for the skate rental area at the CRC
Meeting Date: July 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 DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc. to purchase and install partition walls at the CRC in a not-to-exceed amount of $375,000.
 Authorize the Public Works Director to review and execute minor amendments to the agreement, up to an additional 10% of the agreement amount.

BACKGROUND:

On April 1, 2026, Town Council approved a variety of budget amendments which included allocation of funds towards “Phase III” of the CRC to facilitate construction of an enclosed, conditioned rental space. The proposed space would accommodate year-round operations (summer camps, Mammoth RecZone and Ice Rink).

The original rental space 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 subsequently proposed, but has been superseded by the current Phase III DIRTT/Pivot modular design, as it maintains a consistent aesthetic within the building, integrating with the existing modular office spaces that have been well received by staff. Most importantly, the proposed Phase III rental area will provide a more welcoming space for our patrons, and an accommodating (warm) space for staff to work and deliver exceptional customer service.

2 Phase III Design

3 ANALYSIS:

Following on the success of the installation of the DIRTT modular partition wall system for the CRC staff offices, and in line with the imminent installation of the same system at the new Town Hall, staff determined that the same modular system would be most appropriate for the skate rental space at the CRC. Staff has continued to work with HMC,

4 DIRTT and Pivot Interiors on the design of the rental space and recommends contracting directly with DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc. for purchase and installation of the wall system. If approved, installation would be scheduled to begin at the end of August, once the RecZone Summer Camps have concluded for the season but before opening of the Ice Rink for the winter season. Additional mechanical, electrical and ceiling work required to fully condition and connect the space to existing utility infrastructure will be accomplished under a separate contract following installation of the walls.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

With the April 1, 2026 allocation of additional funds, the purchase and installation of the modular wall system is currently funded. Additional funds may be requested if necessary for the follow-up MEP and ceiling work.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Ordinance to Renew Town’s Military Use Policy
Meeting Date: July 1, 2026
Prepared by: Daniel Casabian, Chief of Police
RECOMMENDATION:

The Mammoth Lakes Police Department (MLPD) seeks Town Council approval for the possession or use of any military equipment through the Town Council’s passing of an ordinance renewing the Town’s Military Equipment Use Policy pursuant to Government Code Section 7071 (AB 481) at the next, regular, open meeting.

BACKGROUND:

On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill 481 requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval from the applicable governing body (Town Council) to use any equipment defined as military equipment by AB 481 by adopting a military equipment use policy. AB 481 declares the public has a right to know about any funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment as well as a right to participate in the decision to fund, acquire, or use such equipment. The Mammoth Lakes Police Department is committed to adopting internal processes related to the funding, acquisition, and use of defined military equipment as codified by Government Code sections § 7070, § 7071, and § 7072, which can be found here:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=GOV&divisio n=7.&title=1.&part=&chapter=12.8.&article=
AB 481 outlines fifteen categories of equipment that is defined as “military equipment,” ranging from remote piloted drone or robotic equipment to simunition firearms used only for training purposes. Of these fifteen categories of equipment, the Mammoth Lakes Police Department acquires and has available for use three of the fifteen categories of equipment – two of the three categories of equipment are primarily or solely used for wildlife diversion (Pepperball Launcher and Munitions, Bean-Bag Shotguns and Rounds plus Rubber Slugs, 40mm less lethal launchers and munitions). The third category of equipment the Mammoth Lakes Police Department has is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone. MLPD would like to replace this outdated model with a new drone.

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 7070 defines “military equipment” as consisting of 15 categories of items, most of which the Mammoth Lakes Police Department does not have, has never had, and is not likely to have in the foreseeable future (such as tracked armored vehicles or armed aircraft); and
WHEREAS, the Mammoth Lakes Police Department does have an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, pepperball launcher and munitions, beanbag shotguns and rounds plus rubber slugs, and 40mm less lethal launchers and munitions, used primarily for non-lethal wildlife diversion, which are defined as “military equipment” under Government Code Section 7070; and
WHEREAS, the Mammoth Lakes Police Department seeks to purchase a new UAV with grant funds, which is defined as “military equipment” under Government Code Section 7070; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 7071 requires the Town Council to adopt by ordinance a “military equipment use policy” in order for the Mammoth Lakes Police Department to, among other things, use its existing “military equipment”, acquire new “military equipment” (including replacements for expired or worn out existing equipment), or collaborating with any other law enforcement agency (such as an agency with a mutual aid agreement with the Mammoth Lakes Police Department) that might use “military equipment” in Mammoth Lakes; and WHEREAS, a military equipment use policy has been available on the Mammoth Lakes Police Department’s website prior to the reading of this ordinance, pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(b); and
WHEREAS, the Town Council held a public hearing in connection with the adoption of this ordinance and has considered this ordinance at an open session at a regular Town Council meeting and provided for public comment in accordance with Government Code Section 54950 et seq, pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(c).

Section 7. The Town Clerk is hereby directed to publish this ordinance or a summary thereof in accordance with the law.

The foregoing ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the Mammoth Lakes Town Council held on the 1
st day of July 2026 and adopted at a regular meeting of the Mammoth Lakes Town Council, on the 15th day of July 2026.

MLPD Military Equipment Use
Annual Update 2026
Assembly Bill 481 enacted Government Code Sections 7070-7073, establishing certain requirements pertaining to the acquisition and use of “military equipment” by California law enforcement agencies. This code defines “military equipment” as consisting of 15 categories of items, most of which the Mammoth Lakes Police Department (MLPD) does not have, has never had, and is not likely to have in the foreseeable future (such as tracked armored vehicles or armed aircraft).

The Mammoth Lakes Police Department owns pepperball launchers and munitions, beanbag shotguns and rounds, beanbag shotguns and rounds plus rubber slugs, and 40mm less lethal launchers and munitions, used primarily for non-lethal wildlife diversion which are defined as “military equipment” under Code Section 7070. The department responded to 125 bearrelated calls for service from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Wildlife diversion tactics are used in these calls to condition bears away from problem areas such as campgrounds and residences where they have become accustomed to gaining an easy meal.

In May of 2026, the department acquired six Defense Technology 40mm less lethal projectile launchers, also known as kinetic energy weapons, including accessories and munitions. 40mm launchers are utilized by department personnel as a tool to deploy less lethal, impact sponge munitions. Kinetic energy weapons and munitions may be used as an option to de-escalate potentially dangerous or deadly situations. The launchers have not been used on any incidents to date. They also replaced the department’s existing less lethal shotguns.

MLPD currently has one Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone. The drone was deployed 9 times from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, for mapping illegal campfires using infrared software, in addition to assisting with several suspicious fire investigation cases.

The department plans to purchase a new drone, the DJI Matrice 4TD, to replace the current antiquated model. The cost of this drone will be offset by the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP). This grant provides funding to enhance regional preparedness, critical infrastructure protection, information sharing, and emergency response capabilities.

As of June 30, 2026, MLPD has received no complaints or concerns regarding our use of military equipment. Additionally, the department has had no internal audits or violations of the military equipment use policy.

The total annual cost for each type of military equipment is detailed on the graph below. Funds to purchase pepperball munitions, shotgun bean-bag rounds, rubber slug rounds, and the 40mm launcher with munitions are allocated from the Town of Mammoth Lakes Annual Budget under the Mammoth Lakes Police Department’s Firearms account. Annual maintenance on pepperball launchers, bean-bag shotguns, 40mm launchers, and the UAV are covered by the Contractual Services account. The quantity possessed and the quantity sought for each type of military equipment in the next year is also detailed on the graph below.

UAV Program Update
Town Council Presentation

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Why MLPD started a UAV program
MLPD UAV Program | Town of Mammoth Lakes
MLPD launched the UAV program in 2022 with the purchase of a DJI M30T. The goal was practical public-safety
capability: faster situational awareness, safer operations, and better coverage in Mammoth Lakes’ mountain
environment.

CURRENT PLATFORM
Current platform: DJI M30T
MLPD UAV Program | Town of Mammoth Lakes
The M30T gave MLPD a compact, rapidly deployable aircraft with the sensor package needed for public safety work: zoom, thermal imaging, and laser range finding.

Why replace
now?
At the four-year mark, battery health, parts support, serviceability, and field reliability become the risk—not the mission need.

FUNDING STRATEGY
HSGP grant funding
MLPD UAV Program | Town of Mammoth Lakes
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a risk-based preparedness grant administered by DHS/FEMA and, in California, managed through CalOES. It supports eligible public-safety equipment that strengthens local readiness and response.

Grant impact
The grant allows MLPD to replace an aging UAV capability without asking the Town to absorb the full cost through discretionary funds. It converts a replacement need into a funded preparedness investment.

OPERATIONAL VALUE
Wildfire prevention use case
MLPD UAV Program | Town of Mammoth Lakes
Examples from MLPD wildfire prevention missions: identifying fire pits, locating unattended hazards, and providing aerial scene assessment.

Detect unattended or illegal fire pits
Locate hazards before they become larger calls for service.

Assess smoke and outdoor burning reports
Provide a safe overhead view before committing personnel into terrain.

Support enforcement and education
Document problem areas and help guide prevention-focused contact.

Improve deployment of ground resources
Give responding (MLFD, USFS) personnel better route and scene information.

Bottom line: the drone helps MLPD identify hazards sooner and make safer, more informed field decisions.

OTHER OPERATIONAL USE CASES
Other operational use cases
MLPD UAV Program | Town of Mammoth Lakes
Search & rescue
Rapid overhead search of trails,
campgrounds, neighborhoods,
and rough terrain.

Critical incidents
Scene containment, suspect
location, approach planning, and
improved officer safety.

Disaster assessment
Road closures, storm damage,
flooding, and infrastructure
checks after severe weather.

Public events
Traffic flow, crowd movement,
and emergency access planning
during large community events.

Evidence / scene
documentation
High-level imagery to support
scene understanding and
documentation.

Night / low-light response
Thermal and low-light tools
improve awareness when
visibility is limited.

A UAV does not replace officers—it acts as a force multiplier for faster information and safer decision-making.

PRIVACY AND PUBLIC TRUST
Privacy safeguards
MLPD UAV Program | Town of Mammoth Lakes
A UAV program only works if the public understands its limits. MLPD’s use is tied to legitimate public-safety missions, documented deployments, and strict compliance with department policy.

Mission-specific deployment
Flights are tied to a call, event, training need, or public-safety objective—not generalized monitoring.

Policy-controlled use
Operators follow department policy governing authorization, use, documentation, evidence, and retention.

Lawful purpose standard
Use around homes, yards, or private activity requires a lawful public-safety purpose and appropriate legal authority.

Records and review
Deployments are logged, reviewed, and audited to maintain accountability.

Bottom line: the drone is a response tool with clear safeguards—not a surveillance program.

COMPLIANCE AND STAFFING
Trained pilots and compliant operations
MLPD UAV Program | Town of Mammoth Lakes
2 FAA Part 107 certified pilots
MLPD currently has two FAA Part 107 certified pilots and operates under FAA regulations, MLPD department policy, and mission-based deployment standards.

Before flight
Airspace review, weather
assessment, aircraft condition,
mission objective, and safety
checks.

During flight
Remote Pilot-in-Command
oversight, safe operation, visual
awareness, and mission
discipline.

After flight
Operational logging,
maintenance notes, evidence
handling, and policy
compliance.

Training, policy, and documentation are what make the program reliable and defensible.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Adopt the 2026 Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Meeting Date: July 1, 2026
Prepared by: Haislip Hayes, PE Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Town Council:
 Adopt by resolution the 2026 Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) as the Town’s Hazard Mitigation Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The 2026 Mono County and Town of Mammoth Lakes MJHMP is over 960 pages long and therefore was not included in the packet. The plan is available on the Mono County “2024 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update” page. The direct link to the plan is:
https://monocounty.ca.gov/sites/default/files/fileattachments/community_development/pa ge/34173/mono_county_toml_hmp_compiled_base_plan_and_annexes_final_2026.pdf The Town of Mammoth Lakes Annex is on page 599.

The National Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 established requirements for programs and projects to minimize the loss of life, property and the total cost of natural disasters. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDMP) provide grants to states and local governments to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures prior to and after major disaster declarations. The purpose of the HMGP and PDMP is to reduce the loss of life and property due to natural disasters and to enable mitigation measures to be implemented prior to and during the immediate recovery from a disaster. To be eligible to receive funding for Hazard Mitigation and Pre-Disaster Mitigation projects, the Town is required to have a California Office of Emergency Services (OES) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved Hazard Mitigation Plan in place.

Passed in 2006, Assembly Bill No. 2140 (AB 2140) allows the Town to be considered for additional State cost-share on eligible Public Assistance projects by adopting the current, FEMA-approved local MJHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan. This adoption, along with other requirements, makes the Town eligible to be considered for part or all its local-share costs on eligible Public Assistance projects to be provided by the State through the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA). For eligible Public Assistance projects, the typical local (non-federal) cost share is 25% of the total project cost. CDAA can allow the State to pay up to 18.75% of the non-federal share, that would otherwise fall upon the Town to pay. Upon approval of the legislature, the Town if AB 2140 compliant is

2 eligible to be considered for the remaining 6.25% local share to be funded by the State, essentially covering the entire local-share cost for eligible Public Assistance projects. Staff have included a provision in the resolution to incorporate the MJHMP into the Town’s Safety Element of the General Plan.

In 2024 Mono County received funding to update the Town and Counties’ MJHMP. The County selected IEM to manage and facilitate the development of the MJHMP. The plan was updated between August 2024 and December 2025. The 2026 MJHMP is an update to the adopted 2019 MJHMP. Hazard mitigation plans expire every five years. This document is the MJHMP for plan participants including: Mono County, the Town of Mammoth Lakes, California, and the participating special districts, the Bridgeport Public Utility District, Hilton Creek Community Services District, June Lake Public Utility District, Mammoth Community Water District, Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District, Mono City Fire Protection District, Southern Mono Healthcare District, and Wheeler Crest Community Services District. Through this document, the plan participants express their commitment to reduce the multiple hazard impacts affecting the planning area.

The project kicked off in late summer 2024 and followed the general schedule below. The complete schedule with all the meetings held is included in the planning process section of the plan.

3 o FEMA Formal Review/Approval
As part of the planning process, advisory meetings were conducted with the Mono County Regional Planning Advisory Committees (RPACs) for input and feedback throughout Plan development. Members of the plan development team presented to seven of the RPACs over the course of the planning process. RPAC members and any members of the public at these meetings were given short presentations on the process, and risk and vulnerability assessment results and comments were incorporated into the MJHMP. Public outreach is a required component when developing an MJHMP. The County and the Town prepared a public outreach and engagement process to give community members the opportunity to learn about the Plan and contribute to its development. This process included a web page hosted on the County website and survey for community members to offer input about hazard-related outcomes and actions to improve preparations for hazard events. The Public Review Draft Plan was published for public review on November 7, 2025 and remained open to public comment through December 7, 2025.

ANALYSIS:

Hazard mitigation is sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the risk to life, property and the environment from natural hazards. Hazard mitigation planning is a process in which hazards are identified and profiled, people and facilities at risk are assessed for threat and vulnerability, and then mitigation actions are developed. The result of the process is an integrated and coordinated effort to mitigate hazards. The expected outcome of all actions of the MJHMP is to lessen the impact of damage caused by natural hazards to life, the economy, infrastructure, or the ability to continue to function as a community.

The Town is susceptible to many types of natural hazards. Damage from hazards can be reduced through careful planning, program implementation, and infrastructure improvements. Implementation of the MJHMP minimizes potential loss of life and injury caused by hazards and preserves the Town’s economic welfare by reducing potential property loss, damage to infrastructure, and social dislocation and economic disruption resulting from hazards.

The MJHMP identifies the following objectives:
 Establish and foster a basis for coordination and collaboration among County, Town, and special district agencies; other public organizations; private organizations; utilities; companies; and other key stakeholders.  Increase community awareness and empowerment to implement mitigation.  Meet the requirements of federal assistance grant programs, including FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) funding.
 Coordinate hazard mitigation planning activities between the plan participant in concert with wildfire planning, land use planning, and emergency operation activities.

4  Reduce the risk of loss and damage from hazard events, especially repetitive loss and damage
The plan participants created goals as part of the plan development process. There are 8 general goals for this plan:
 GOAL 1. Avoid exposure of people and improvements to unreasonable risks of damage or injury from the hazards identified in this plan.  GOAL 2. Keep Mono County and the Town of Mammoth Lakes a safe place to live, work, and play by reducing the risks from natural hazards through planning for safe development, increasing public awareness of the natural hazards in Mono County, and providing an integrated multi-agency approach to emergency response.  GOAL 3. Prepare for changing climate conditions in Mono County.  GOAL 4. Maintain adequate emergency response capabilities, including an integrated multi-agency approach to emergency response.  GOAL 5. Build partnerships with local, state, federal, tribal, and other stakeholders to promote a whole community approach to response, recovery, and mitigation.  GOAL 6. Identify, develop, and publicize evacuation routes to reduce risk from hazards like wildfire.
 GOAL 7. Study and implement mitigation actions to address potential impacts of compounding hazards such as flood following wildfire.
 GOAL 8. Utilize the mitigation planning process as a call to action demonstrating plan participants’ commitment to work together toward implementing the mitigation actions identified in the plan
Different types of hazards cause different impacts, occur in various locations, and have varying degrees of severity. However, all have the potential to severely harm human health and safety, private and public property, ecosystems, and services. Like many communities, the planning area could face substantial damage, injury or loss of life, interruptions to critical services, and other major challenges. This plan took an all-hazards approach, assessing both natural and human-made hazards that could affect the planning area. The plan participants selected to profile the following 16 hazards in this plan update: Avalanche, Flood, Dam Failure, Hazardous Materials, Disease/Pest Management, Landslides, Drought, Severe Wind, Earthquake and Seismic Hazards, Severe Winter Weather and Snow, Energy Shortages and Energy Resilience, Volcano, Epidemic/Pandemic, Wildfire, Extreme Heat, and Wildlife Collisions.

For each hazard, a profile is established to provide a general hazard description and cascading hazards associated with the profiled hazard. The profile will also describe what locations the hazard is likely to affect as well as the potential magnitude or extent of hazard events. A history of previous hazard events included in the profile will support historical understanding of what locations are at risk and the magnitude of impacts likely to occur.

Each profile thus includes a description of major hazard events in recent history, and, to the extent possible, a complete listing of hazard events by date and location. This section includes a significant amount of data and provides a complete description of each hazard.

For each hazard there are broad and agency specific mitigation strategies.

5 The mitigation strategy is often known as the heart of the plan. An effective mitigation strategy serves as a blueprint for reducing the potential losses within the planning area.

FEMA reports that, on average, natural hazard mitigation saves six dollars for every dollar spent. Investing in mitigation is a proactive way the plan participants can take to adapt to a changing world and the real risks of future disaster events, which could result in loss of life, property, and livelihoods. The Town of Mammoth Lakes developed a separate jurisdictionspecific annex for inclusion in this plan. This annex is intended to be read in conjunction with the base plan, where more general information such as hazard descriptions, extent, and location can be found. The annex has been amended from the last plan update to reflect changes in priority including meeting the new FEMA’s Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide (April 11, 2025) requiring public and stakeholder outreach, jurisdiction-specific vulnerabilities, community lifelines, expanded mitigation capabilities, and NFIP assessments.

The Town of Mammoth Lakes Annex (page 599) is specific to the Town and includes sections on the Public Engagement Process, Jurisdictional Risk Differences, Past Events, Jurisdiction-Specific Vulnerabilities, Jurisdiction-Specific Changes in Development and Impacts, Mitigation Capabilities, Town of Mammoth Lakes 2026–2031 Mitigation Strategy, 2026 Mitigation Action Plan. The Mitigation Action Plan outlines the mitigation measures Town of Mammoth Lakes has identified. This may be the most important section of the plan for the Town of Mammoth Lakes and staff spent a significant portion of their time working with it’s partners on this section. In this section there are specific projects that will help the Town to mitigate hazards. For each project there are descriptions, responsibilities, priority, potential costs, and timing. Staff carried over projects from the previous MJHMP, added new ones, and included projects from previous After-Action Reports (AAR) such as the 22/23 winter storms. Long-term actions and priorities in the mitigation plan reflect a comprehensive approach to managing community resilience and reducing risk. Further, it positions the Town to access post-disaster funding in the case of a disaster event. As funding and resources become available, the Town of Mammoth Lakes will pursue the mitigation actions included in this plan. Implementing mitigation actions like these will help save lives, protect property and livelihoods, and break the cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction.

On February 16, 2026, IEM submitted a final draft of the MJHMP to CalOES for review.

On April 13, 2026, CalOES announced they had completed their review of the MJHMP.

CalOES then forwarded the MJHMP to FEMA for their review. In June 2026, the County received notice that the MJHMP had been approved as-is on the condition that Mono County and the Town of Mammoth Lakes subsequently adopt respective resolutions approving it. Once adopted, the County and Town will receive regular notices of funding opportunities from CalOES and FEMA to implement the mitigation actions identified in the MJHMP. To remain eligible to receive continued funding, FEMA requires the MJHMP to be updated every five years. The Mono County Community Development staff will continue to be lead on this Plan and annual plan maintenance/check-ins with participating jurisdictions until County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is fully staffed and

6 able to take over. The intention is for Mono County OEM to be in charge of annual maintenance and all future update cycles.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

None at this time. Future projects undertaken by the plan participants will need to funded independently of the plan adoption effort.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The MJHMP identifies potential natural hazards in the County and Town and includes a five-year strategy of mitigation measures the County and/or Town may take to reduce the risk from the identified hazards. Some of the mitigation actions are studies or collaborations with other agencies, where the County and/or Town may not be the lead agency, as defined by CEQA. Other mitigation actions that may be undertaken could require their own CEQA review, once a full project scope is prepared and funding is sought through grants. The Town’s adoption of the MJHMP is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15262 (feasibility and planning studies), 15306 (data, research and information collection), and 15061(b)(3) (general rule); each on a separate and independent basis.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Middle-Income Housing Policy Statements and Predevelopment Steps for a Middle-Income Rental Housing Project at the Parcel
Meeting Date: July 1, 2026
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Town Manager
Nolan Bobroff, Director of Community and Economic Development Marcus Sproll, Housing Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve the resolution adopting the Town of Mammoth Lakes Middle-Income Housing Policy Statements

2. Authorize the Town Manager to initiate the predevelopment phase of a middle-income rental housing project at the Parcel by negotiating and executing contracts and agreements for the following:
a) A financial feasibility study, including a market study b) A legal feasibility study
c) A preliminary site layout and design framework
d) A joint powers authority development partner/owner
BACKGROUND:

The Town of Mammoth Lakes (Town) community vision outlined in the General Plan includes: “Adequate and appropriate housing that residents and workers can afford.” To strengthen the implementation of this vision, the Town implemented the Housing Now! initiative in 2019 to provide a range of community housing that is available and affordable to those working in the community.

Most of the housing created under this initiative has been in the low-income category due to the availability and requirements of state and federal funding sources used. However, the March 2026 Regional Housing Needs Study (2026 Housing Study”) identified that the current highest housing need for the Town is in the middle-income category, between 80 percent and 150 percent of the Mono County area median income (AMI), sometimes termed “the missing middle”. Input from community members, local employers, and the Town Council support this conclusion, and the 2026 Town Council Strategic Priorities include: “Continue implementation of the Town’s Housing Now! initiative program with a focus on the missing middle.”
In 2018, the Town purchased a 25-acre property at 1730 Tavern Road, subsequently named “The Parcel”, for the purpose of developing workforce housing. The 2021 Parcel Master Plan requires that all housing units within the development shall be deed-restricted

2 affordable housing for individuals and households working in the region. At least 85 percent of these affordable units shall be rental units deed-restricted for households earning up to 120 percent of AMI, while the remaining 15 percent of units may be either rental units, or for-sale homeownership units, restricted to households earning up to 200 percent of AMI.

To date, all 229 rental units completed, or under construction, at the Parcel are in the lowincome category, with an average income level at 60 percent of AMI. There is remaining capacity at the Parcel for approximately 250 additional units that could be restricted for middle-income households; either as rentals or homeownership units.

ANALYSIS:

Through the adoption of a resolution regarding middle-income housing policy statements, the Mammoth Lakes Town Council can articulate the priority approach the Town will take to realize its vision and achieve its middle-income housing goals. This would serve as a guide for the Town’s efforts to increase the middle-income workforce housing inventory.

While the 229 low-income units being developed at the Parcel are very important to address the Town’s overall housing needs, the Master Plan never envisioned the entire parcel being developed for low-income households. Rather a mix of income levels is necessary to address the community need across a range of incomes. The ‘missing middle’ is an important component of this mix and, for rental housing, is comprised of households earning between 80 percent and 120 percent of AMI.

To further its goal of developing the remaining land at the parcel with middle-income housing, on May 20, 2026, the Mammoth Lakes Town Council authorized the Town Manager to sign the Mammoth Unified School District (MUSD) and Town of Mammoth Lakes (TOML) Letter of Intent and Offer to Negotiate Exchange of Properties and the Access Agreement. The MUSD desires approximately 2 acres at the Parcel to develop approximately 40 middle-income rental units for MUSD employees (highlighted in blue in Figure 1 below).

In addition, recognizing the community need, Housing Now! initiative strategic priorities, and Parcel Master Plan objectives, the Mammoth Lakes Town Council desires to develop the remaining land with an approximately 130-unit middle-income rental housing project (highlighted in red in Figure 1), and two future projects of about 40 units each, which could be for homeownership (highlighted in purple in Figure 1).

The Town Housing Division staff have completed preliminary research and analysis of a conceptual framework for a middle-income rental housing project at the Parcel. This includes:

1. Approximately 130 rental units along Chapparal Road

2. A mix of Studio, One-Bedroom, and Two-Bedroom units with a majority of One-Bedroom units

3 3. Average rents affordable to households earning 110 percent of area median income

4. A Town equity investment of up to 38 percent of project cost, or up to $210,000 per unit

5. Private partners to design, build, operate, and maintain the project

6. Joint powers authority public ownership for the duration of the bond repayment period (approximately 30 years)

7. Upon debt repayment in approximately 30 years, a Town option to sell or transfer ownership of the project
Figure 1
The predevelopment phase of the project would begin with several actions:
a) A financial feasibility study (including a market study) b) A legal feasibility study
c) A preliminary site layout and design framework
d) A joint powers authority development partner/owner
Conducting this initial predevelopment feasibility analysis would provide the Town Council, staff, and the public, with more detailed information about the feasibility of a

4 middle-income rental housing project at the Parcel. This will allow the Council to make an informed decision on whether to continue with a middle-income rental project and have staff finalize financing and obtain bids for design, build, operate and maintenance contracts.

OPTIONS ANALYSIS:

Option 1: Approve the resolution adopting the Town of Mammoth Lakes Middle-Income Housing Policy Statements, and authorize the Town Manager to initiate the predevelopment phase of a middle-income rental housing project at the Parcel by negotiating and executing contracts and agreements as follows:
a) A financial feasibility study (including a market study) b) A legal feasibility study
c) A preliminary site layout and design framework
d) A joint powers authority development partner/owner
This option would provide the Town Council, staff, and the public, with more detailed information about the feasibility of a middle-income rental housing project at the Parcel.

This will allow the Council to make an informed decision on whether to continue with a middle-income rental project.

Housing Division staff resources will be prioritized for this effort, meaning other housing programs and opportunities will be paused or take a lower priority.

Option 2: Adopt the policy statements, but do not approve the predevelopment phase of a middle-income rental project at the Parcel.

There are no immediate impacts as a result of this option. However, with no other sizeable vacant site to develop and the timeline of a large-scale project, Council will need to provide direction to staff regarding alternative housing priorities. Delaying any decision will delay progress on increasing the workforce housing inventory.

Option 3: Take no action.

There are no immediate impacts as a result of this option. However, with the high need for middle-income workforce housing in the Town, Council will need to provide direction to staff regarding alternative housing priorities. Delaying any decision will delay progress on increasing the workforce housing inventory.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The cost of these initial studies is estimated to be approximately in the range of $100,000 to $150,000. In addition, Housing Division staff resources will be prioritized for this effort, meaning other housing programs and opportunities will be paused, or take a lower priority.

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Four-Party MOU for Enhanced Emergency Medical Services (FY 2026–27 through FY 2030–31) Council Meeting Date: July 1, 2026
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Town Manager, Ales Tomaier, Fire Chief, Dan Flynn, EMS Coordinator, Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District
Recommended Motion: Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Town of Mammoth Lakes, Southern Mono Healthcare District, County of Mono, and Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District (MLFPD) to support enhanced Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and authorize the Town Manager to execute the agreement.

Summary: The current EMS system, established in 1976, has not kept pace with demand. Approximately two-thirds of countywide EMS calls occur in Mammoth Lakes, resulting in resource strain and inconsistent Advanced Life Support (ALS) coverage during peak periods. This is extenuated during periods of high tourism, The proposed four-party MOU implements an enhanced EMS model that places firefighter-paramedics on fire apparatus to provide ALS care at first patient contact, while County EMS continues to provide primary ambulance transport services.

Key provisions of the MOU’s five-year term include:
 MLFPD will provide ALS assessment and response, support transport services, perform interfacility transports, purchase an additional ambulance, and maintain all operational responsibility.
 The County will support system coordination and authorize MLFPD to conduct interfacility patient transfers to Mammoth Airport (approximately $100,000 annual revenue).  Southern Mono Healthcare District will contribute $100,000 annually and lead coordination efforts to improve patient transfers outside the region.  The Town of Mammoth Lakes will contribute $100,000 annually to support enhanced EMS services.

This model is the most cost-effective way to improve EMS service levels, expand ALS availability, and enhance system performance. The Town’s $100,000 annual investment will improve response times and access to care, increase capacity during high-demand incidents, align Mammoth Lakes with peer communities, and deliver these improvements at substantially lower cost than adding an additional ambulance.

Prehospital
Medical
Care in the
Mammoth
Lakes
Community

Existing System
Created in 1976, with little variation from its current form, when a private ambulance provider abruptly left
Mono Co.
• EMS is not a state-mandated program
• Four ALS Ambulances along the Hwy 395 Corridor
• Mono County controlled, operated & funded
• Expense: $6.2M ($1.5M Per Ambulance)
• Staffing is either dual paramedic or
paramedic/EMT-B
• System Designed for Same Level of Care
from Walker-Coleville down to Mammoth
Lakes
• 2/3rds of call volume is in Mammoth Lakes
– Call Volume highly impacted weekends
and winter due to increased visitation
• Mono Co. Fire Districts provide limited EMS support

The Problem
Call Volume
• Mammoth Lakes has become too busy for just one
ambulance and/or one paramedic
• Increased Tourism, Flight transfers, surge periods,
inclement weather, multiple calls, multiple patients
Quality of Care
• Acute patients face extended wait times or
decreased level of care when Medic 3 is unavailable
• Industry standards and customer expectations
• Multi-system trauma, Stroke, STEMI, Cardiac Arrest:
require quick response and proficient providers

Example of the
Current System
Under Strain
• Hwy 203 Traffic Collision on Busy
Holiday Weekend
• Traffic Accident with a fatality and
three critical patients
• Unresponsive overdose patient at
Canyon Après Party at the same
time
• Mammoth County Ambulance
staffed with a single paramedic
• Inclement weather – Second County
Ambulance out of June Lake
Delayed

Comparable Systems
–
Southern California or Lake Tahoe Region
• All other medium to large CA mountain resort towns are exclusively served by career ALS providers
• Metro LA & San Diego also have the same model for EMS • Provider number & experience
• Comparable system deliverables
• Consistent level of service
• Integrated into the larger healthcare system
• 24/7 Advanced Life Support with rapid response
times
• Multiple ALS personnel on scene (Often 3 to 5)
• Significant surge capacity for multiple incidents or
patients

Under
Proposed
Agreement
• County Stays Primary Provider, Fire District Supplements Operations
• Funding provided through Four Party Agreement with
stakeholder support
• ALS Assessment model: Paramedics on Fire
Apparatus
• 2-4 paramedics/day, up-staffed for busy times. New MLFPD employees must earn or maintain paramedic certification • Virtually all patients in Mammoth Lakes will receive ALS-level assessment and care
• 1-to-2-year build-out time, but now is a good opportunity with current staff growth
• Significantly less expense because of “dual purpose” – MLFPD will absorb the bulk of employee cost
• MLFPD will continue to operate surge ambulances, but now with ALS care available for assessments and treatment
• Annual report of provision of services

Level of
Support
• Stakeholder group: Town of Mammoth Lakes,
Mono County, Mammoth Hospital
• $100K annual ask from each group
• 5-year commitment of baseline program and
infrastructure support at $300K total/year
• Once built, advanced prehospital provider
capacity will increase 2x-4x over existing
system
• Financial support from the stakeholder group
is essential, but far less expensive than other
solutions
• The plan needs both political and financial
support

Why is it a
worthy
investment?
• History of stakeholder support of EMS in Mono County
1986 Ambulance & ALS Agreement
• Matching the level of care in peer communities and
aligning with visitor expectations, as Mammoth Lakes
continues to grow
• Least expensive method of achieving the goal of ALSlevel care for all injured and ill patients • Investment in a high-quality healthcare system for our residents and visitors

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES, SOUTHERN MONO

HEALTHCARE DISTRICT, COUNTY OF MONO AND THE MAMMOTH LAKES FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
WHEREAS, the Town of Mammoth Lakes (TOML), the Southern Mono Healthcare District (SMHD), the County of Mono (County) and Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District (MLFPD) have a vested interest in the provision of timely and quality prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) in their overlapping service areas; and WHEREAS, the County operates an EMS program (“Mono County EMS”) that includes operating and staffing Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedics, MLFPD has historically provided operational support for EMS services, and TOML and SMHD had previously provided program support; and WHEREAS, an increase in prehospital emergency medical call volume as well as an increase in interfacility transport have impacted service areas at the south end of the County where the parties have overlapping service areas; and
WHEREAS, all involved parties work towards solutions that increase levels of service for their prospective constituents while also seeking financially responsible solutions; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the strong historical interagency cooperation and the intent to expand ongoing partnerships, the parties hereby enter into this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to the following:

I. MLFPD Obligations

1. Provision of Advanced Life Support (ALS) Services. MLFPD shall, when reasonably necessary to ensure adequate coverage of EMS resources, provide assessment services concerning the need for ALS transports within the mutual service areas of all parties. When determined necessary, MLFPD resources will be used to increase the level and availability of EMS responders for the purposes of minimizing response times and decreasing time for patient access to ALS or a definitive care facility within the mutual service areas of all parties. MLFPD will continue to provide automatic aid to the County outside of the MLFPD’s service area as provided in the Mutual Aid Agreement Among Mono County, Antelope Valley, Bridgeport, Lee Vining, Mono City, June Lake, Mammoth Lakes, Long Valley, Paradise, Wheeler Crest, White Mountain, and Chalfant Valley Fire Protection Districts, or any successor agreement(s). The level of this automatic aid will be escalated to ALS when MLFPD reasonably determines ALS responses are necessary and appropriate.

2. Support of Existing Transportation Services. MLFPD will continue to support the County EMS transport services by providing an ambulance when a County ambulance is not able to respond to the scene when a patient may require ambulance transport. Further, MLFPD will strengthen its support capacity with the purchase and operation of an additional ambulance within a three months of the execution of this MOU. Prior to the acceptance of the new ambulance, the Fire District will continue to utilize its current ambulance as well as the County backup ambulances for providing additional transport services, subject to their availability.

3. Interfacility Transports. MLFPD shall provide interfacility transport services between Mammoth Hospital and Mammoth Airport. The number of transports will be determined as defined in Section II of this MOU. Additionally, when the County is not available, as provided in Section I.1, MLFPD will provide Mammoth Hospital with transportation services to specialty care facilities outside of County boundaries, subject to operational capabilities, as reasonably determined between the respective EMS supervisors for the County and MLFPD.

4. Data Entry and Reporting. To document that obligations are being met, MLFPD will enter all EMS runs into the electronic patient care reporting (ePCR) system as required by protocols and policies established by Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) (such policies are currently located in ICEMA Policy Number 5030 of the ICEMA Policy and Procedure Manual). Further, MLPFD shall provide all parties with an annual report of provision of services to confirm adherence with obligations on or about June 1 of each year in which this MOU is in effect, or such other date as these parties may mutually agree.

5. Payment of Expenses. MLFPD shall be responsible for and will pay all costs and expenses of any sort or nature related to its provision of EMS under this agreement within the service areas of the parties including, but not limited to the costs and expenses of: vehicle acquisition or lease, operation and maintenance, operating; insurance premiums and deductibles; salaries, stipends, reimbursements or benefits; supplies, equipment and materials; training; communications equipment and devices; station maintenance; administrative costs; mileage and personnel.

6. Credentialing and Certification. MLFPD will verify and maintain all necessary paramedic and emergency medical prehospital credentials, certifications and licenses for any employees who respond to calls for first responder emergency medical services or transportation services.

7. Vehicles. MLFPD will maintain vehicles in good working condition, and pay all costs associated with any emergency medical vehicle(s) owned, leased or used by MLFPD to provide first-responder ALS services within the service areas of the parties.

Title: Approve Resolution setting At-Will, Non-Represented Employees compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment for fiscal years 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29.

Council Meeting Date: 7/1/2026
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Town Manager
Recommended Motion: Approve and adopt the Resolution related to compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment for specified employees in at-will, nonrepresented positions for fiscal years 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29.

Summary: The Town Manager has met with specified incumbent employees in non-represented positions within the Town regarding the terms and conditions of at-will renewing employment agreements for each employee. An initial agreement has also been negotiated and established with Lauren Warrem, who begins employment with the Town as the Finance Director on July 6, 2026.

The agreements reflect standard and negotiated Town benefits for retirement, medical, accrual of comprehensive leave, and similar benefits as provided for other exempt management employees.

The recommended modification for salary compensation includes a pay adjustment of 12% over a three-year period with a 6% increase for fiscal year 2026-27, 3% in fiscal year 2027-28, and 3% in fiscal year 2028-29. Salary based adjustments take effect the first full pay period in July each fiscal year. Non-represented employees will continue to receive a revenue sharing payment based upon Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) revenue performance not to exceed $4,000. Employees will also be eligible for increased reimbursement up to $2,000 for each employee, and $1,000 for each eligible dependent under the Town’s dental/vision Health Reimbursement Arrangement (“HRA”) plan. The Town’s deferred compensation plan employer contribution remains at a dollarfor-dollar match up to $100 per pay period for Classic CalPERS and PEPRA CalPERS members.

Administrative leave is increased by 16 hours from 88 hours to 104 hours per fiscal year. The agreements also provide for a change in benefit stipend in lieu of health insurance coverage dollar amounts, contingent upon proof of eligible alternative coverage, and intended to offset rising health care costs. The attached compensation schedules reflect the agreed upon increases to compensation for all specified at-will, non-represented positions for the entire term of each agreement, effective from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2029 for incumbent employees, and from July 6, 2026 to June 30, 2029 for Finance Director Lauren Warrem.

When two (2) regular, full-time Town employees are considered to be eligible dependents of one another, they shall not be covered by each other, and their dependent children may only be covered by one (1) parent. Up to eighty percent (80%) of the unused portion of the total benefit may be "rolled over" from one fiscal year to the next, for a total of not more than three (3) fiscal years. For purposes of identifying the unused portion, receipts for the previous year must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the beginning of the fiscal year.

"Rollover Year 1" benefit will be accessed first for reimbursement requests. Then, "Rollover Year 2" benefit amount will be accessed for reimbursement requests. Finally, if current fiscal year and “Rollover Year 1” and “Rollover Year 2” benefits have been exhausted, "Rollover Year 3" will be accessed for reimbursement requests.

Employee may elect not to participate in the HRA reimbursement program by notifying Human Resources with a written request to opt out of the plan. Eligibility for reimbursement ends on the last paid day of employment for expenses incurred prior to permanent separation from service.
