Page 1 of 2 ends

DATE: May 6, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Michael Chandler, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Ben Alldritt, Police Captain
REVIEWED BY: Andrew White, Chief of Police
TITLE: Dispatch Center Equipment Replacement

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution:

1. Authorizing the Chief of Police to participate in the direct funding process from the California State 9-1-1 Office to replace 9-1-1 call handling equipment.

2. Authorizing the sole-source purchase of Dispatch Center furniture from Xybix.

3. Appropriating $88,200 of unassigned Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) fund balance for unfunded project overage.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Goal A: Financial Sustainability
Strategy 1: Commit to continuous review of potential grant, earmark, or other funding sources at the County, State, and Federal levels to supplement City projects and development.

BACKGROUND
Based on the State of California’s replacement cycle, the Dispatcher Center is due for replacement of 9-1-1 call-handling equipment. The Police Department is eligible to receive funding from the California State 9-1-1 Office for the replacement and has been pre-approved in the amount of $452,000.

DISCUSSION
The Dispatch Center is a 24/7 operation, and any individual upgrade is impactful to operations, especially the upgrade of the calling handling equipment and technology. As any one upgrade will require significant pre-planning to minimize impact on services, it is highly recommended to do all upgrades at the same time. Accordingly, the proposed project has been scoped to include the call handling equipment replacement as well as replacement of the furniture, flooring, new paint, and upgraded electrical outlets. 30 STAFF REPORT
May 6, 2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

Also included in the project is replacement of the Dispatch Center’s call recorder, a system which also maintains the audio records in conformance with legal requirements.

Currently, the Police Department has a $6,200 annual maintenance contract for the existing call recorder. This project would replace the call recorder for approximately $53,000, which includes a 5-year maintenance contract.

The dispatch furniture will be sole-sourced from Xybix, which is listed on the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS), allowing the City to procure these items through the state funding process. The last furniture replacement was in 2008 and also procured from Xybix.

Component Amount
Vesta (9-1-1 Call Handling Equipment) $334,200
Translation/transcription service $42,300
Eventide/call recorder $52,550
Furniture $91,000
Flooring $4,900
Paint $5,650
Electrical $4,600
Contingency $5,000
Total $540,200

Source Amount
State 9-1-1 Office Funding $452,000
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) $88,200 Total $540,200

If approved by the City Council, the Dispatch Center upgrade will not affect the City’s General Fund, and project planning can begin immediately. Completing this project will significantly improve the functionality of the Dispatch Center while utilizing funding that does not impact the General Fund. This is an excellent opportunity for the City of Martinez.

The project is anticipated to be completed by October 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
The project costs about $540,200, with $452,000 funded by California's 9-1-1 Office and the remaining $88,200 coming from prior years' unassigned SLESF fund balance.

DATE: May 6, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Michael Chandler, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Andrew White, Chief of Police
TITLE: Restricted Parking Permit Program to Support County Elections

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Chief of Police to implement and administer a restricted parking permit program in partnership with the Contra Costa County Clerk ‑Recorder-Elections Department, including the authority to:

1. Establish and modify administrative program conditions and operational restrictions consistent with this authorization and existing City parking regulations; and

2. Adjust the permit fee administratively to maintain proportional consistency with Council-adopted parking rates.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item aligns with the following Strategic Plan goal and strategy:
 Goal A. Financial Sustainability
 Regularly review and update the City’s User Fee Schedule and Parks and Recreation program revenues and costs to ensure alignment with cost recovery goals, identify opportunities for fee adjustments, and establish appropriate subsidy levels. Goal E. Community Health, Safety and Wellbeing
o Maintain a safe, clean and active downtown to e nsure an enjoyable and welcoming experience for all.

BACKGROUND
The Contra Costa County Clerk‑Recorder‑Elections Department (“Department”) is located at 555 Escobar Street. The Department has 75 full ‑time employees and shares a 65‑stall parking lot (54 designated for employees and 11 designated for visitors ) with the public. They also lease parking at two additional locations. The Department serves an average of 150 –200 customers per day, and customers occasionally park in staff‑designated stalls despite signage.

The Elections Division is charged with overseeing and managing every election in Contra Costa County. To provide these services, the Election Division hires an additional 60 to 34 STAFF REPORT
May 6, 2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

90 temporary employees for every major election , most of whom need parking. At the same time, these additional employees constitute additional foot traffic downtown, including potential visits to restaurants and other businesses.

The City conducted a pilot program during the November 2025 Statewide Special Election. The Department purchased parking permits valid for surrounding on ‑street spaces and the Intermodal Facility (Amtrak station). The pilot program included the following conditions:

1. The program was limited to the Intermodal Transit Facility lot and the 48 metered parking spaces on Castro, Escobar, Alhambra, and Marina Vista adjacent to the Clerk-Recorder-Elections Department building.

2. Parking under the program was restricted to normal business hours, Monday through Friday.

3. Staff were required to utilize available parking at the overflow, Department leased parking lots prior to using metered spaces.

4. All posted parking regulations remained in effect. Any use of parking outside the program’s parameters resulting in a violation was the responsibility of t he employee.

The pilot did not adversely impact downtown parking availability or turnover and was administered with minimal staff time by using electronic, license plate -based permitting rather than physical permits.

DISCUSSION
The Department has requested authorization to utilize the restricted parking permit program for future countywide elections, including the upcoming June and November elections. To support downtown economic activity, the Department will distribute informational materials about nearby restaurants and businesses, likely developed in coordination with Downtown Martinez & Co. or the Martinez Chamber of Commerce.

The program is intended for time -limited, high-impact civic functions and is not intended to establish a general expansion of parking permit eligibility.

Staff recommend a permit fee of $30 per month, not to exceed three (3) months per election. This duration aligns with typical staffing increases and reductions before and after each election. Although this is lower than the 10-hour parking pass rate ($92/month, sold annually or semi-annually), it reflects the program’s significant usage restrictions and is consistent with the Merchant Parking Permit rate.

While the permit rate is lower than the eq uivalent full -time metered parking cost, the program is limited in duration and scope. Staff believe the reduced rate is appropriate to support a core civic function while also generating additional downtown activity and maintaining overall parking system balance.
35 STAFF REPORT
May 6, 2026

Page 3 of 3 ends

Staff further recommend that the Council authorize the Chief of Police to administer the program and adopt any additional conditions and restrictions consistent with this authorization.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the program is projected to generate approximately $4,200 per election for the Parking Fund, depending on the number of permits issued and the duration of use.

This estimate assumes approximately 70 permits issued per election, with partial -month utilization during ramp-up and ramp-down periods.

40 Revised July 2025 Page 2 of 7
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Investment Policy for the City of Martinez (the City) is to provide guidance and direction for the prudent investment of City funds and to foster the creation of a systematic and controlled investment process. The ultimate goal is to maximize the efficiency of the City’s cash management system and to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled investment cash. This policy was developed in accordance with California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq.

II. POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Martinez to invest public funds in a manner which will provide maximum security, meet the daily cash flow demands of the City and provide highest investment return while conforming to all California laws and local statutes governing the investment of public funds. It is also the policy of the City that all funds not required for immediate budgeted expenditures be invested in compliance with this Investment Policy
III. SCOPE
This Investment Policy applies to all short-term operating funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City. These funds are described in the most current annual financial report and include:

General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds and Fiduciary Funds. The investment of bond proceeds is governed separately by the provision of the relevant bond documents.

IV. PRUDENCE
The standard of prudence to be used for managing the City’s investment program is California Government Code Section 53600.3, the prudent investor standard which states, “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.” The City Treasurer and other individuals assigned to manage the investment portfolio, acting in accordance with written procedures and this Investment Policy and exercising due diligence , shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

V. OBJECTIVES
The City’s funds shall be invested in accordance with all applicable City policies and codes, state and local statutes and federal regulations, and in a manner designed to accomplish the following objectives, which are listed in priority order:

A. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to mitigate capital losses are avoided, whether from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value. In a diversified portfolio, it must be recognized that occasional measured losses are inevitable and must be considered within the 41 Revised July 2025 Page 3 of 7
context of the overall portfolio’s investment return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented. The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to improve the quality, liquidity , duration or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City's risk preferences.

B. Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

C. Return on Investment: The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.

VI. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Section 53636 of the Government Code of the State of California provides that money on deposit is deemed to be in the treasury of the City. Although the responsibility for conducting the City's investment program resides with the Treasurer, the day -to-day investment function is hereby delegated to the Finance Director or Assistant City Manager.

The City may contract with one or more external investment managers to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. Such external managers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this Investment Policy. Such managers must be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and specialize in the management of public funds fixed income portfolios.

VII. PUBLIC TRUST
All participants in the investment process shall act reasonably as custodians of the public trust.

Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public scrutiny and evaluation. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. Nevertheless, in a diversified portfolio, it must be recognized that occasional measured losses are inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio investment return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented.

VIII. ETHICS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST
All personnel responsible for authorizing the purchase of investments shall refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program and/or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. The City Treasurer, Finance Director or Assistant City Manager and other key Finance personnel shall file a Statement of Economic Interests each year as required by California Government Code Section 87203 and regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission.

IX. AUTHORIZED BROKER DEALERS AND COMPETITIVE TRANSACTONS The City may contract with professional money managers to assist in the management of all or part of its investment portfolio in compliance with the guidelines outlined in this Investment Policy. If the City Treasurer directly invests in individual securities, then the City will maintain a list of financial institutions 42 Revised July 2025 Page 4 of 7
and primary dealers authorized to provide investment services. Professional money managers working with the City may maintain their own list. These may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15C3 -1 (uniform net capital rule). The City Treasurer, Finance Director, or Assistant City Manager will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City.

Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the investment adviser . The investment advisors shall provide the City with a copy of its approved broker dealer list no less than annually or at any time upon request of the City.

It is the policy of the City to require competitive bidding from at least three brokers/dealers for investment transactions that are not classified as “new issue” securities whenever possible and practical. Such competitive bidding may be executed through the use of a nationally recognized trading platform . It is understood that competitive bidding may not always be feasible for all securities, for example, secondary market offerings that are unique to a particular broker/dealer. In such circumstances where competitive price comparisons are not available, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. Competitive solicitations wherein at least three brokers/dealers are queried but only one bid or offer is received shall satisfy the competitive bidding requirements of this investment policy.

X. MAXIMUM MATURITY & DURATION
The City may not invest in a security with a maturity date that exceeds five years from the date of purchase.

For purposes of compliance with this Policy, an investment’s term or remaining maturity shall be measured from the settlement date to final maturity. In addition, a security purchased shall not have a forward settlement date exceeding 45 days from the time of investment.

In addition to the individual security maturity limitations set forth in this investment policy, the weighted average duration of the actively managed portion of the portfolio, i.e. non liquidity funds, shall be maintained in a range of +/- 25% the duration of a market benchmark as selected by the City based upon the City’s risk tolerances and investment objectives. Portfolio duration may deviate from this range at the City’s discretion based upon prevailing facts and circumstances.

XI. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
All investments and deposits of City funds shall be made in accordance with California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq.

The diversification requirements set forth below relating to the maximum allowable percentage for a particular issuer or investment type shall apply at the time of purchase. Due to fluctuations in the aggregate invested balance, these maximum percentages may be exceeded from time to time and shall not require liquidation to realign the portfolio. However, consideration should be given to this matter when future purchases are made. The security credit rating requirements of this investment policy shall apply at the time the time of purchase. It is important to note that from time to time the City may be invested in a security whose rating is downgraded subsequent to the original date of purchase. The City Treasurer, Finance Director, or Assistant City Manager , directly or indirectly through the delegation of 43 Revised July 2025 Page 5 of 7
authority to the investment advisor, shall monitor the status of security ratings.

DATE: May 6, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carolyn Robinson, Treasurer
PREPARED BY: Michael Chandler, City Manager
TITLE: Measure X Annual Report FY 2025

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Measure X Citizens’ Oversight Committee Annual Report for FY 2025.

The Committee met on April 8, 2026, to review, discuss and accept the Annual Report.

The Committee accepted the Annual Report and asked several clarifying questions, which are recapped within this Report.

BACKGROUND
On November 6, 2018, almost seventy-three percent (73%) of Martinez voters approved Measure X to increase the transaction and use sales tax by an additional one-half (0.50%) percent for 15 years to fund general City services consistent with community priorities.

As part of the Measure X ballot initiative, the City Council approved a “Community - Identified Spending Priorities Plan” on July 23, 2018. The spending priorities were based on the results of an independent survey that indicated support for a loca l general sales tax measure to address quality of life and essential services. Within the core areas of Public Safety, City Infrastructure, and Parks, Open Space and Recreation, these key priorities were identified:
 maintaining 911 response times
 recruiting and retaining experienced police officers
 preventing and investigating violent crimes
 addressing homelessness
 providing resources for school safety
 maintaining storm drains and pollution prevention
 maintaining parks and open space
 maintaining Martinez’s Senior Center and programs
 maintaining youth and recreation programs
On February 20, 2019, the Measure X Oversight Committee Bylaws were adopted by the City Council via Resolution No. 18 -19. The Oversight Committee’s role is limited to the following specific duties, as detailed in Section 3.1 of the Bylaws:
47 STAFF REPORT
May 6, 2026

Page 2 of 10 ends

a) Review semi-annual revenue and expenditure reports produced by the City and other relevant reports and information regarding the Transactions and Use Tax; and
b) Provide to the City Council an annual report on whether revenues were expended efficiently and effectively and recommendations, if any, of ways to ensure that future revenues are expended efficiently and effectively.

Additionally, Section 3.1 of the Bylaws also specifies the following areas in which the Committee will not have purview:

c) In order to preserve the integrity and independence of the oversight process, Committee members shall not play a role in contracting or project management for projects funded through revenue from Measure X.
d) The Committee is not charged with decision -making on spending priorities, schedules, project details, or financing plans.

The Bylaws further specify the Oversight Committee is to be comprised of no more than seven (7) members, one of which is the City Trea surer, with six (6) at -large members, three of which will serve three (3) year terms, and three who will serve four (4) year terms.

DISCUSSION
Fiscal Review Process
Each fiscal year, the City is required to have a financial audit conducted by an independent certified public accountancy firm. The CPA firm of Maze and Associates is the City’s independent external auditor. The City’s Fiscal Year 2024 -25 audit was completed in January 2026 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The auditors’ opinion was that the financial statements fairly represent the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2025. On February 4, 2026, the audit was received and accepted by the City Council.

Oversight Committee Meeting – April 8, 2026
The Oversight Committee met on April 8, 2026, to receive the FY 2024-25 Annual Report.

The Committee found the report and its presentation to accurately reflect the City’s audited financials related to the General Fund revenues and the expenses incurred within those areas of the Community Identified Spending Priorities Plan on a pre-and post- Measure X comparative basis. The Committee also felt the figures shown in the comparative pre- and post-Measure X staffing vacancies chart and the outcomes detailed in the report demonstrated the Measure X revenues were spent efficiently and effectively to the extent possible. Additionally, the Committee elected Joseph Evans as Vice Chair for the upcoming year.

At the April 8th meeting, the Oversight Committee asked a number of clarifying questions which were answered by City staff, as follows:

48 STAFF REPORT
May 6, 2026

Page 3 of 10 ends

 Are the flat or declining sales tax revenues unique to Martinez?

Answer: No, most of the issues with our flat or declining sales tax revenues are systemic to the overall region, state, and national economies.

 Given Measure X revenue has been slightly decreasing, should it have been approved for a shorter duration than 15 years and/or reassessed earlier, like at the 5-year point, to ensure it provided the needed revenue?

Answer: No, the 15-year duration was appropriate at the time, and consistent with Measure D, our other sales tax measure, which went into effect just before. Going forward, it will be appropriate to review Measure X as part of several potential options to increase revenue, consistent with the City’s adopted Strategic Plan.

 Is the Police Department losing staff because of money or other reasons?

Answer: It is more related to a depleted pool of interested applicants, and not so much a money issue. A recent Martinez Police Officers’ Association contract was approved which provided pay increases over the next two years. We focus on putting more of our money into the workforce and not just administrative expenses.

The Police Department is definitely facing increased “uncontrollable” costs for external services, like County Animal Control, which are impacting the budget.

 Do we have any contract-type arrangements that could recover costs of putting staff through the Police Academy?

Answer: Effectively no. Cost recovery is limited when we put officers through the Academy, even if they separate soon after.

 Are our Priority 1 call response times standard?

Answer: Yes.

 Was the decision to reduce CORE ours or theirs?

Answer: This was our decision.

 How do we coordinate with East Bay Regional Parks District?

Answer: We work with them annually for cleanups and other interfaces with ConFire on fire mitigation efforts, for example.

 What was the basis for the increase in swim lessons?

Answer: This was the result of the Martinez Community Swim Team lifeguarding their own activities and freeing up our staff to teach more lessons.  Past reports had information about Marina activities, why not this one?

49 STAFF REPORT

Page 4 of 10 ends

Answer: For this Fiscal Year, we did not have capital funding from the General Fund to highlight.

Baseline Reporting Methodology
At its February 20, 2020 meeting, the Oversight Committee reached a consensus regarding the preferred reporting methodology for Measure X to demonstrate that the funds were spent “efficiently and effectively” consistent with community priorities as stated in the Bylaws. The Oversight Committee acknowledged the challenges of making a somewhat subjective determination of what consti tutes “efficiently and effectively” and wanted staff to focus on more quantifiable measures.

Future reports would compare “baseline” expenses and staffing levels within given community priority categories (Public Safety, City Infrastructure, Parks and Open Space, and Recreation and Senior Center) from Fiscal Year 2017-18 (as the most recent audited year which did not receive any revenue from Measure X) with subsequent budgets that did receive Measure X revenue. The Oversight Committee felt these comparisons would help illustrate how the additional funds received from the measure contributed to support community priorities.

At its meeting of October 27, 2022, the Oversight Committee recommended presenting more years of Measure X information within the annual report (still keeping the “baseline” pre -Measure X year of Fiscal Year 2017 -18) to provide trend detail and demonstrate that the funds were spent “efficiently and effectively” consistent with community priorities as stated in the Bylaws. The Oversight Committee also asked for the outcomes section of future annual reports to more closely align with the fiscal year period in question. At the Oversight Committee meeting of June 12, 2024, the Committee requested future reports to include more inf ormation about 9-1-1 response times, crime statistics, and issues pertaining to the unhoused. All of these requests continue to be reflected within this annual report. Finally, the Oversight Committee at its meeting of April 30, 2025 acknowledged the benef its of Measure X and the necessity for extending it beyond the March 31, 2034 expiration date.

As previously mentioned, the Committee expressed an interest in being able to show improved outcomes related to quality -of-life initiatives whenever possible and to more closely align with the fiscal year period in question. During the Oversight Committee meeting held on June 12, 2024, the Subcommittee specifically asked that future annual reports emphasize information on 9 -1-1 response ti mes, crime statistics, and homelessness, which are now reflected. The following list represents some examples of how the City has been able to support the Community Identified Spending Priorities during Fiscal Year 2024-25:

Public Safety:
 9-1-1 Response Times: Priority 1 (9-1-1) response time average increased from 5:18 to 5:27 and Priority 2 response time average reduced from 10:29 to 9:30.

 Retention and Recruitment: This area remained the most significant challenge facing the Police Department.
o Summary of staffing changes in FY 2025:
 6 full-time separations (1 retirement)
 12 full-time sworn new hires (1 police captain, 5 police officers, 6 police trainees [2 successfully completed Academy and FTO])  2 dispatchers hired
o Re-classified a vacant police lieutenant position to police captain and successfully recruited a veteran law enforcement executive to fill the role. A lieutenant position remained unavailable due to long term injury leave.  Preventing and Investigating Violent Crimes: Building on the prior year’s organizational improvements, the bureau maintained minimum staffing with two full-time detectives and a supervisor. A retired annuitant continued to provi de investigative support due to full -time vacancies. The bureau investigated serious and complex crimes during the year. In one case that had previously gone dormant, detectives successfully resurrected the investigation, ultimately locating and arresting an individual responsible for the long -term sexual abuse of a child.

The case proceeded to trial, resulting in a conviction and the offender being sentenced to multiple indeterminate life terms.

PREPARED BY: Michael Chandler, City Manager
TITLE: Measure D Annual Report FY 2025

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Measure D – Citizens’ Oversight Committee Annual Report for FY 2025.

The Measure D – Citizens’ Oversight Committee met on April 29, 2026, to review, discuss and accept the Annual Report. The Committee accepted the Report and recommended moving to the City Council.

BACKGROUND/TIMELINE
On November 8, 2016, seventy-two percent (72%) of Martinez voters approved Measure D, to increase the sales and transaction tax by an additional one-half (0.50%) percent for 15 years to fund roadway projects. The measure was certified on December 7, 2016, via Resolution 093-16. On February 15, 2017, the City Council adopted Measure D Street Selection Policy, Resolution No. 019-17, and on April 1, 2017, Measure D went into effect and began to be collected on eligible transactions.

On January 31, 2018, the Franchise and Public Infrastructure Subcommittee held the first public workshop with interested residents regarding the Measure D funded Fiscal Year 2018-19 Annual Pavement Management Program. This workshop was held in accordance with the Measure D Street S election Policy. Subsequent annual public workshops were held on January 23, 2019; January 22, 2020; January 26, 2021; January 18, 2022; January 30, 2023; January 31, 2024; and January 30, 2025.

At the January 14, 2026 workshop, staff proposed continuing to use a five -year rolling program of pavement preservation work (known as the StreetSaver® program) which adds a new fiscal year into the program as each annual pavement preservation project is completed. The Subcommittee recommended that City Council ap prove the proposed five-year pavement preservation program and the recommended FY 2025-26 Measure D Annual Pavement Preservation Project as the second year of this five-year program. On February 4, 2026, the City Council by Resolution No. 26 -007 approved the Subcommittee’s recommendations to adopt the proposed five -year pavement 57 STAFF REPORT

preservation StreetSaver® program (FY 2026 -27 through FY 2030 -31) and to approve the FY 2026-27 Pavement Preservation Project.

DISCUSSION
The Fiscal Years 2025 -26 through 2029 -30 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was adopted on May 7, 2025. In the CIP, the Council allocates funds only after they have been accumulated. Funding becomes available for expenditures to a project at the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1. On typical projects, the design begins during the fiscal year in which the funds become available. Depending on the complexity of the project, construction begins at the end of the fiscal year and can often run through a portion of the following fiscal year.

The City has allocated Measure D funds to the following projects in the current two-year capital budget for Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27:

PROJECTS FY 2026-27 FY 2027-28
 C1078: Annual Pavement Study/Plan Update $25,000 25,000  C1083: 2025-26 Annual Pavement Rehabilitation $5,750,000  C1089: 2026-27 Annual Pavement Rehabilitation $500,000 $5,000,000  C1090: 2027-28 Annual Pavement Rehabilitation $500,000 Measure D Projects Underway
C1078 (Annual Pavement Study/Plan Updates) focuses on updating the annual selection of streets to be paved for the next five years, which is presented to the Street Selection Workshop and City Council in January and February every year. Funds from this project are also used to contribute towards the assessment of the street pavement condition and updates to the City’s Pavement Management Program.

The C1083 project, which is part of the Zone 4 FY2025 -26 Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation initiative, will focus on the following streets: Alhambra Avenue (from Bertola to Highway 4), Alhambra Way, Pine Street (from Bush Street to Highway 4), Parkway Drive, Canyon Way, and various residential streets in the surrounding area. The project bid opening is scheduled for May 7th. The construction contract is tentatively planned for award at the Council meeting on May 20th.

C1048 (Pacheco Boulevard Improvements – Arnold Drive to Sunrise Drive) The project entails installing a traffic signal at the intersection of Pacheco Boulevard and Arnold Drive, along with street improvements, including widening the pavement to create a dedicated bike lane and adding curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and ADA -compliant curb ramps. This project encompasses the full length of the C ity right-of-way along Pacheco Boulevard, stretching from Arnold Drive to Sunrise Drive, which is approximately 2,200 linear feet.

OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE DISCUSSION
During the April 29 th meeting, members of the Committee received background on Measure D; an explanation of the Oversight Committee’s purview; an overview from staff on the audited and unaudited financials; and an update on Measure D projects underway.

The Committee asked whether the paving program through Measure D would cover all five zones three times within 15 years, which staff confirmed.

The Committee asked if the impacts of tariffs on raw materials, and the increasing cost of labor and goods, had resulted in higher paving prices. Staff indicated that there was 60 STAFF REPORT

uncertainty in the bid process due to the ongoing Iran war, increase in gas prices, and cost of trucking, but other cities have not yet experienced significant adverse bids. More time is expected to be built into projects, however.

Staff provided an overview of the City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Our current score is 69, and following the next paving cycle, we are projected to reach 70.

Additionally, staff confirmed that although there was some decline year over year in interest earnings, the large cash flow in the Measure D fund helps earn significant interest.

The election was held and conducted as provided by law for holding municipal elections, and the Special Tax revenue is to be collected by the State Board of Equalization and remitted to the City.

The City has voluntarily chosen to establish a Citizen's Oversight Committee to provide enhanced accountability to the citizens of the City.

Date: May 6, 2026
To: Board of Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 6 From: Michael Chandler, City Manager
Prepared By: Joe Enke, Public Works Director

Title: Setting Public Hearing on Proposed Increase in the Sewer Service Charge in Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 6 for Fiscal Years 2026-27, 2027- 28, and 2028-29 and the Collection of the Sewer Service Charge on the County Tax Roll for Fiscal Year 2026-27

Recommendation
Adopt a resolution setting a public hearing on a proposed increase in the sewer service charge for fiscal years 2026-27, 2027-28 and 2028-29 and providing for the collection of sewer service charges on the county tax roll for fiscal years 2026-27 and directing the Clerk of the Board to provide notice and instructions for submitting written protests.

Background
Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 6 (SD-6 or “District”) was formed in 1992 to provide sanitary sewer services to the Stonehurst subdivision in the Alhambra Valley Area. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Resolution 92/57, which formed the District, named the County Board of Supervisors as the governing board of SD -6. At the time of its formation, the District did not include any territory within the City of Martinez. On November 19, 2012, the City annexed a portion of SD-6 including the entire inhabited area within the Stonehurst Subdivision.

On March 31, 2015, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2015/108 designating the Martinez City Council as the Board of Directors of Contra Costa County Sanitation Dist rict No. 6 in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 4730.

Figure 1 (Attachment A) shows the shows the District Boundaries. There are 47 residential lots in Stonehurst. A 48th lot was annexed to the District as a condition of development, but th is parcel was not required to connect to the system upon annexation. It currently pays no fees to the District.

Service charges in the District provide for the continued operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system serving the Stonehurst Subdivision. Figure 2 (Attachment B) is a System Map showing schematically the collection, treatment, and disposal facilities in the Stonehurst Subdivision. Each of the 47 residences that are connected to the District System have a septic tank and a lateral. Th e property owners own and maintain their septic tank and the portion of 74 442892.3 Page 2 of 10
the lateral between the septic tank and the back of the curb in the private street. The District currently maintains (1) the portion of lateral between the curb and the main; (2) the gravity sewer mains and a lift station and force (pressure) main which boosts a portion of the flow to the treatment area ; (3) the treatment facilities including sand filters, ultra violet disinfection and pumping facilities ; (4) leach fields located i n an elevated area of the subdivision where the treated effluent is discharged to the ground ; and (5) monitoring wells which allow the ground water to be tested for contamination.

The septic tanks remove the settleable solids and roughly 50% of the pollutants from the waste stream. The effluent from SD -6 was originally proposed to be re -used for landscape irrigation purposes and contaminant limits were established to meet the standards for recycled wastewater. Wastewater is not used for irrigation today a nd the effluent is discharged below ground in the leach fields. There is no proposal or plan for the Homeowner’s Association to utilize wastewater for irrigation, which may provide a basis to modify permit conditions regarding effluent from the treatment plant system.

Sewer Service Charges are intended to cover the reasonably anticipated District expenses for the fiscal year based on the costs and burdens placed on the SD-6 District for maintenance of the communal leach fields and treatment area which serve s each property within the District, both in proportion to the District’s costs of serving each property and when the total amount of revenues from the charges being levied is compared to the total amount of costs incurred by the District to provide services to the properties.

Section 4815 of the Health and Safety Code requires that each year, in which a sewer service charge is to be imposed, a written statement establishing the amount necessary to maintain the sanitary sewer system must be timely filed with the Clerk of the Board (City Manager) and the County Assessor’s office for the inclusion of the sewer service charge on the property tax roll for the properties within SD-6. In addition, the District Board must hold a public hearing to set annual sewer service charges for the District. If in the Report the annual rate is proposed to be increased above the maximum annual amount previously charged, the Board must conduct a Proposition 218 protest hearing pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII D of the state constitution.

On May 3, 2023, the District Board adopted Resolution No. 045-23 SD-6, declaring the intent of the Board to temporarily increase the annual sewer service charge in SD -6 for all properties receiving sewer service for Fiscal Years 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 from $1,950 to $2,450 per unit per year. On June 21, 2023, the Board, following a duly noticed and conducted public hearing, and in the absence of a majority protest, adopted Ordinance No. 011 -23-SD-6 increasing the Sewer Service Charge a s noticed . Resolution 045 -23 SD -6 indicated that increased charge was a “temporary interim sewer service charge for Fiscal Years 2023 -24, 2024-25 and 2025-26”. The intent was that the rate would be reconsidered in 2026.

The previous $500 increase increased revenues by $23,500 per year for three years for a total of $70,500. The increase helped the District to pay for, but did not cover, the consultant costs required to secure coverage under the statewide General Order for treatment a nd disposal for 75 442892.3 Page 3 of 10
Small Domestic Systems (General Order 20014 -0153 DWQ) and the statewide Order for sanitary sewer (collection) systems (General_Order_2022 -0103-DWQ). Coverage under the General Order for collection systems is mandatory.

The current Waste Discharge Requirement Permit issued by the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requires SD -6 to be abandoned and for wastewater to be discharged to a sanitary sewer line if at any time sanitary sewer service s become “available” in the Alhambra Valley . Sewer service by Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San) has been extended to within one half mile of Stonehurst and in 2021 Central San engaged the firm of Woodard & Curran (W&C) to prepare a study of the c ost to connect to their system. W&C estimated that the cost to connect to Central San in 2021 dollars ranged from $166,000 to $188,000 per unit (household). Recognizing that this amount might present a significant hardship to many property owners, the Di strict staff has been working cooperatively with the Stonehurst Homeowners Association Board of Directors and retained W&C to study alternatives to the report prepared for Central San.

On October 24, 2023, the Regional Water Board issued a letter requiri ng the City of Martinez (as the administrator for the District) to submit two technical reports pursuant to California Water Code (Water Code) section 13267 (the 13267 Order): (1) a wet weather emergency action plan and (2) a Facility Rehabilitation and Upgrade Plan including an updated Report of Waste Discharge. The Action Plan Report and the Facility Upgrade Report, as described herein, were required to be submitted no later than November 27, 2023, and February 1, 2024, respectively.

The District retai ned W&C to assist with the preparation of the two reports, and they were submitted on or before the required dates.

Discussion
District staff have accomplished the following in efforts to gain compliance under the General Orders and provide for the continued operation of the existing facilities in lieu of connecting to Central San:

General Order 2022-0103 DWQ (Sewer Collection System) . On March 25, 2025, District staff applied for and received a Notice of Applicability ( NOA) confirming coverage under General Order 2022-0103 DWQ for the sanitary sewer (collection) systems. Coverage was subject to a list of nine conditions and a schedule for completion of each. Staff have been addressing each condition within the timeframe provided.

This general order requires the District Board to update the District’s existing Sewer System Management Plan to establish new guidelines for documenting District maintenance, emergency response, training and for reporting spills termed sanitary sewer overflows or SSOs and for reporting online to the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) website. The new regulations also set new requirements for annual reporting, audits and for updating the SSMP.

Items completed to date include:

1. Designated a Legally Responsible Official
76 442892.3 Page 4 of 10

2. Obtained a California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) user account

3. Designated Data Submitters for CIWQS

4. Submitted an initial Annual Report

5. Developed and implemented a Spill Emergency Response Plan

6. Developed and implemented an updated Sewer System Management Plan

7. Prepared an electronic Sanitary Sewer System Service Area Boundary Map Remaining items to complete are:

8. Conduct an internal audit of the Sewer System Management Plan every 3 years

9. Update the Sewer System Management Plan at minimum every six (6) years

General Order 2014-0153 DWQ Small Domestic Systems (Treatment and Disposal).

District staff have met with the Water Board and W&C on several occasions during the past three years to provide and review documentation required by the Water Board for the issuance of a NOA for under General Order 2014 -0153 DWQ. Coverage under the General Order for Small Domestic Systems was initially sought because (1) it was recommended by the Water Board (2) the Water Board thought that disinfection of the effluent might not be required under the General Order because the treated wastewater is discharged to the ground an d is not being used for irrigation. Following much research and discussion the Water Board has subsequently determined that UV Disinfection will be required due to the limited soil depth in the leach fields.

Staff expected to receive the draft NOA from the Water Board this winter but has not received it to date.

Recent Accomplishments
Pursuant to prior discussions, the Stonehurst HOA constructed, at the HOA’s expense, a concrete lined “V” ditch that intercepts the development ’s upstream drainage that is partially blocked by an obstruction in a culvert adjacent to the sand filters at the treatment plant. This blockage is thought to have been responsible for a great deal of the infiltration during the storms of late 2022 and early 2023.

Public Works staff, working collaboratively with the District’s wastewater treatment plant operator adjusted the timing and sequence of the flow through the filters by replacing pumps and adjusting settings. In doing so they have significantly improved the quality of the ef fluent. They reduced the turbidity which increases the translucency of the fluid and improves the ability of the ultraviolet light to disinfect it. After making these adjustments, staff replaced the old ultraviolet disinfection equipment with new equipment. The laboratory test results for January indicate that the effluent nearly meets the limits established in the original 1991 permit.

W&C are now working with the Water Board and staff to establish reasonable limits in the NOA for the Small Domestic Systems General Order.
77 442892.3 Page 5 of 10
Following is a list of the recent improvements that have been implemented by staff and the District’s Contract Operator:
• Constructed a concrete lined ditch to divert stormwater from broken partially plugged stormwater pipe adjacent to filter beds (By HOA)
• Repaired the weir in the dosing tank at the end of the effluent disposal lines at the leach fields
• Cleaned and rehabbed piping at leach fields
• Replaced pumps, piping, valves and controls at the lift station • Replaced the manhole access with safety access hatch at the lift station • Replaced all 5 of the 6 recirculation pumps; the 6th pump is on order • Re-configured the manner in which the water is recirculated to and from the filter beds • Flushed the filter bed lines
• Rehabilitated the UV disinfection system including installation of two new UV pumps W&C estimate s that due to the repairs and rehabilitation of the system the capital costs to implement further required improvements have decreased from over $1 million to approximately $337,000.

Cost of Compliance
In round numbers the following are estimated costs to maintain the ongoing dialog with the Regional Water Board to respond to the mandates of the 13267 letter, to apply for co verage under the statewide General Orders and to make repairs necessary to keep the facilities operating and in compliance to the extent possible:

Permit Costs

Proposed Rate Increase
The current rate of $2,450 per unit per year is just slightly more than the annual operating costs of approximately $2,100 per unit per year. The costs to comply with the NOA for the General Order for the sewer collection system and the ongoing costs to c omply with the 13267 Order and the pending conditions of the NOA for the General Order for the Small Domestic (Treatment and Disposal) system have been in excess of operating costs. And have resulted in a deficit in the fund. An increase in rates will be necessary if the District is to obtain and maintain compliance with the General Orders and otherwise fund applicable sewer system costs. .

Staff have prepared and attached as Attachment C the required annual statement of revenue and expense for the District. The table from the Annual Statement appears below:

SD-6 Summary Statement of Estimated Revenue and Expense, FY 2026-27

The estimated deficit at the end of the current fiscal year (2025-26) is approximately $292,000. The deficit is due to the investments that were made at the treatment plant in the winter of this year and the ongoing permitting costs. Staff initially proposed a rate increase of $2,350 per unit per year to (1) systematically eliminate the deficit over the next 5 years and (2) provide funding for rehabilitating some remaining elements of the collection, treatment and disposal systems.

Preliminary Discussions with the Stonehurst HOA Board
Staff met with the Stonehurst HOA Board of Directors via video conference calls on April 6th and again on April 8 th to review the proposed increase. The Stonehurst BOD had the following suggestions:

1. Move the District Board meeting setting the public hearing from April 15 to May 6 and the public hearing to June 24 in order to allow time for the Stonehurst Board to explain to the residents the background and need for an increase.

2. Implement a phased in approach to rate increase. Year 1 $3,900, Year 2 $4,200, Year 3 $4,500 and reevaluate in the spring of 2029.

The reduced rate structure proposed by the HOA will reduce the deficit to zero over the next five years, assuming at least $4,500 is continued in FY 2029-20 and 30-31. Further rehabilitation of the system, however, would be delayed. Staff agree d with the HOA Board’s proposal, as the deficit reduction is the primary goal of the increase and the support of the residents is necessary for an increase to be approved.

Requirements for an Increase in the Sewer Service Charge The sewer service charge may not be increased without report, notice and hearing and protest requirements conforming to the provisions of Proposition 218 (Section 6 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution and implementing legislation.)
Health and Safety Code Section 5470, et. seq provides that:

1. The written report must be filed with the Clerk and must contain a description of each parcel of real property receiving such services and facilities and the amount of the charge for each parcel for the ye ar, computed in conformity with the charges prescribed by ordinance or resolution. The real property may be described by reference to the County Assessor’s Maps.

2. Notice of the hearing shall be published pursuant to Section 6066 of the Government Code prior to the date set for hearing (twice, at least 5 days apart the first publication must be at least 14 days before the hearing) in a newspaper of general circulation.

3. Mailed notice is required the first time that the charges are to be posted to the County tax roll (The District has mailed notice as a courtesy in each year that the City Council has served as the District Board). If the sewer service charge is to be increased, a 45 -day mailed notice is required before conducting the public hearing on the propo sed increase pursuant to the requirements of Proposition 218.

4. At the time stated in the notice, the legislative body shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the annual report and proposed increase.

5. The Board may continue the public hearing from time to time. 80 442892.3 Page 8 of 10

6. The election to have the sewer service charges collected on the tax roll must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the Board.

7. At the time stated in the notice, the Board shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to said increase and report referred to in said notice and may continue the hearing from time to time. If the legislative body finds that protest is mad e by the owners of a majority of separate parcels of property described in the report, then the increase shall not be adopted, and the charges shall be collected separately from the tax roll and shall not constitute a lien against any parcel or parcels of land. Written protests must be received and tabulated in accordance with the provisions of Proposition 13 enacted by Article D of the California constitution and state law guidelines and District Board resolution.

8. If a majority protest to the increase do es not exist upon conclusion of the hearing the Board may approve the increase in rates.

9. On or before August 10 of each year following the final determination upon each charge, the Clerk shall file with the County auditor a copy of the report with a statement endorsed on the report over his or her signature that the report has been finally adopted by the Board.

10. The County auditor shall enter the amounts of the charges against the respective lots or parcels of land as they appear on the current assessment roll.

11. The ordinance or resolution authorizing the collection of charges on the tax roll shall remain in effect for the time specified in the ordinance or resolution or, if no time is specified in the ordinance or resolution, until repealed or until a change is made in the rates charged by the entity.

A resolution setting forth the date/time and place of the proposed public hearing is attached along with copies of the forms of the notices to be mailed and published. Attachment D is the form of the notice to be mailed to property owners and Attachment E is the form of the notice to be mailed to be published. The notices provide information on how, where and when to file written protests.

Environmental
The proposed action to adopt the proposed rates and adjustments is statutorily exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the action is being taken to meet operating expenses, including salaries and benefits, incurred by the District to perform the services for which the fees and charges are being imposed; obtain funds necessary to maintain service within existing service areas; and meet financial reserve needs and requirements in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15273(a).

Fiscal Impact
SD-6 expenses, including those related to the preparation of a report and special ballot proceeding for an increase in District revenues, are recoverable from SD-6 revenue which may consist of current and future Sewer Service Charge any contributions from the Stonehurst HOA and any other sources that may be available to the District.

The District reserve fund is currently estimated to have a negative balance by June 30 of approximately $292,000. The proposed increase will offset some operating expenses but will not reduce the entire deficit in a single year. Staff estimates that at this rate the deficit will be reduced in approximately 5 years pending determinations of the Regional Water Board, Central San and the Local Agency Formation Commission. The proposed increase will not address the facility replacement needs of the District which must be deferred. It is intended that the latter be addressed with long-term (20-30 year) financial plans with a private or public lending entity.

82 442892.3 Page 10 of 10

Alternative
Adopt the resolution calling for a public hearing to consider an increase, but in an amount other than the amount recommended by staff, and direct corresponding changes in the Annual Statement.

ANNUAL WRITTEN STATEMENT ON

SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27

Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 6 (SD-6) was formed in May of 1992 to provide for the operation and maintenance of the wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities in the Stonehurst Subdivision located in the previously unincorporated area of Alhambra Valley adjacent to the southwestern boundary of the City of Martinez. The Stonehurst Subdivision was annexed to the City of Martinez and on March 31, 2015, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2015/108 designating the Martinez City Council as the Board of Directors of Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 6 in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 4730.

Existing sanitary sewer system improvements include gravity sewer mains, a pressurized sewer main, sewer laterals between the valve and sewer main, treatment facilities and pumps, and a leach field and serves 47 parcels of land. A 48th parcel was annexed to the District but does not receive service.

Table 1 presents tracks the budget and projected revenue and expense in SD -6 for the current (2025-26) fiscal year and estimates revenue and expense for the next (2026-27) fiscal year.

The Board of Directors of the District establishes sewer service charges for all properties s erved within the District each fiscal year . By reference to the maps on file in the office of the Contra Costa County Assessor, Table 2 contains a description of each parcel of real property receiving sewer service from the District, the amount of the proposed charge for each parcel for Fiscal Year 2026-27, computed in conformity with the charges prescribed under District Ordinances and the budget report. Parcel numbers are the Assessor’s Parcel Number as shown on the last equalized County Assessor’s Tax Roll or update.

The District Board finds that it is necessary to increase the sewer service charge rate by $1,450 from $2,450 to $ 3,900 per parcel (or unit) per year for FY 2026-27; by $300 from $3,900 to $4,200 per unit per year; and by $300 from $4,200 to $4,500 per unit for FY 2028-29. As in past years, collection of the sewer service charge on the County property tax bill is proposed. The District staff’s written report on the need for the increase is available for review on the City of Martinez’s website.

A mailed notice will be mailed to each property owner 45 days prior to a public hearing on the proposed increase. The notice will provide the date, time , and place of the public hearing and will include instructions for filing written protests and an explanation of how protests are to be submitted and how they will be tabulated. The notice will also advise that property owners may object to the collection of the tax on the property tax bills.

If, upon the conclusion of the public hearing, the ow ners of more than 50% of the parcels subject to the sewer service charge (24 parcels) submit written protests to the proposed increase, the increase will not be imposed, and the sewer service charge will be levied at the 87 same rate as in the previous year ($2,450). The Board will further consider any objections to the collection of the charge on the property tax roll with property taxes.

Upon adoption of this report by the Board the charges for the 2026-27 FY stated herein will be collected on a tax roll of Contra Costa County in the same manner, by the same persons, at the same time as, and together with the County's general taxes. The collection of annual charges on the tax roll for FY 2027 -28 and FY 2028 -29 only, will be the subject of future annual statements and District Resolutions placing the assessment on the property tax roll for those years, respectively.

Contra Costa County Sanitary District No. 6

Notice of Public Hearing
Establishment of Sewer Service Charge Rates and Proposition 218 Protest Hearing for FYs 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29
and Collection on Property Tax Bill for FY 2026-27

The City of Martinez City Council serving as the Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 6 (District) Board is considering establishing the annual sanitary sewer service charge for the 2026-27, 2027-28 and 2028-29 fiscal years (FY). The FY extends from July 1 to June 30. The Board will also consider collecting the charges on the County tax bills with County taxes. The proposed sewer service charge is proposed to be increased by $1,450 from $2,450 to $3,900 per unit per year in FY 2026-27; by $300 to $4,200 per unit per year in FY 2027-28 and by $300 per unit year to $4,500 in FY 2028-29. Collection of these charges on the tax roll is the method that has been used in the past. The purpose of this notice is to give you, as owner of a parcel that is subject to the sanitary sewer charge (a) information about the date, time, and location of the public hearing on the proposed service charge increase; (b) the amount of the proposed increase as well as the reasons for the proposed increase and basis upon which the amount of the proposed increase was calculated; (c) the proposed method of collection of the charge ; (d) information on how to file a written protest against the proposed increase under Proposition 218; (e) how written protests will be tabulated; (f) what constitutes a majority protest; and (g) what will happen if a majority protest is filed.

Public Hearing
A public hearing will be held on June 24, 2026, at the regular meeting of the Martinez City Council (acting as the Board of Directors of Sanitation District No. 6) beginning at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall located at 525 Henrietta Street, Martinez. The meeting may also be attended via the Zoom video conferencing platform . Instructions for participating by video conferencing will be included on the front page of the Agenda which may be found on the City website at https://www.cityofmartinez.org/government/meetings-and-agendas .

Reason for the Proposed Increase in Rates
The annual sewer service charge provides for continued operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system serving the Stonehurst Subdivision. The proposed amount of the increase in the annual sewer service charge has been determined in a written report prepared by the District’s staff. The written report on file with the District Clerk indicates that the funds generated by the current sewer service charge are not sufficient to meet the immediate funding requirements necessary to protect public health and safety. The proposed increase will provide funds that are necessary to continue to keep the system operating while at the same time lessening the deficit in the District fund over a period of 3 years. The proposed increase will not be sufficient to fund rehabilitation of all sanitary facilities serving the Stonehurst Subdivision.

The current Waste Discharge Requirement Permit issued by the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requires SD-6 to be abandoned and for wastewater to be discharged to a sanitary sewer line if at any time sanitary sewer service becomes available. Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San) sewer service has been extended to within one half mile of Stonehurst and in 2021 Central San engaged the firm of Woodward & Curran (W&C) to prepare a study of the cost to connect to Central San’s system. The estimated cost to connect to Central San in 2021 dollars ranged from $166,000 to $188,000 per unit (household). Recognizing that this amount might present a significant hardship to 92 442935.3 2 of 5
many property owners, the District working cooperatively with your Homeowners Association Board of Directors, retained W&C to study alternatives to the report prepared for Central San.

During the past three years, the District and its consultants have continued to work with representatives of your Homeowners Association and the RWQCB to develop a long -term strategy for bringing the aging sanitary system up to current health standards. The District and its consultants reviewed with the RWQCB elements of the treatment system that may no longer be necessary and have been successful in securing coverage under existing statewide General Orders that will allow the District to continue to operate. These efforts have resulted in expenses beyond those required for routine maintenance of facilities. These additional expenses have amounted to approximately $326,000 and it is projected that the District’s fund of will have a deficit on appro ximately $292,000 by the end of the current fiscal year. A report on the revenues, expenditures, and deficits and need for an increase in the sewer service charge are discussed in a staff report to the District Board which may be accessed online at:
https://www.cityofmartinez.org/departments/engineering/ccc-sanitary-district-no-6

The District and your Homeowners Association’s Board of Directors have proposed to phase the increase in order to extend the period for lessening the deficit from three to five years.

Collection of the Sewer Service Charge with Property Taxes The sewer serviced charges in SD-6 have always been collected on the property tax bills because this is the most efficient and least expensive method of collection. Once posted, the funds are guaranteed to be collected by the County. This manner of colle ction is again proposed for the 2026-27 fiscal year, and for the following 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 fiscal years. If there is not a majority protest, the District Board will consider adopting a resolution at this public hearing placing the sewer service cha rge on the property tax roll for Fiscal Year 2026 -2027. In each subsequent year, the District Board will hold a public hearing and consider adoption of a resolution placing the assessment on the tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2027-2028 and Fiscal Year 2028-2029, but there will not be another majority protest process as this Proposition 218 notice is for all three Fiscal Years 2026-2027, 2027-2028, and 2028-2029.

Tabulation of Written Protests and Determination of a Majority Protest At the hearing, the Board will consider all oral and written testimony regarding the proposal. Written comments and or protests must be signed by the property owner and must include the assessor’s parcel number or street address of the property for which the protest or comment is submitted.

Written protests must be signed and delivered or mailed to: District Clerk, Sanitation District No. 6, City of Martinez, 525 Henrietta Street, Martinez, CA 94553. Protests which are mailed or delivered to the District Clerk must arrive at City Hall by the date and time of the hearing to be considered. Written comments may be submitted by email to [email protected]. Comments submitted by email will not be accepted as written protests.

A majority protest will exist if the number of written protests submitted, upon conclusion of the public hearing, exceeds 50% of the total number of parcels receiving the charge. If a majority protest exists upon conclusion of the hearing the Board will levy the sewer charge in the same amount as the previous year.

*****

Pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 6(a) of the California Constitution, the following shall apply:
93 442935.3 3 of 5

SECTION 1: Definitions.

Unless the context plainly indicates another meaning was intended, the following definitions shall apply in construction of these guidelines.

A. “Parcel” means a County Assessor’s parcel the owner or occupant of which is subject to the proposed charge that is the subject of the hearing.

B. “Record customer” and “customer of record” mean the person or persons whose name or names appear on the City records as the person who has contracted for, or is obligated to pay for, utility services to a particular utility account.

C. “Record owner” or “parcel owner” means the person or persons whose name or names appear on the County Assessor’s latest equalized assessment roll as the owner of a parcel.

D. A “fee protest proceeding” is not an election, but the District Clerk will maintain the confidentiality of protests as provided below and will maintain the security and integrity of protests at all times.

SECTION 2: Notice Delivery.

Notice of proposed rates and public hearing shall be as follows:

A. The District shall give notice of proposed charges via U.S. mail to all record owners and customers of record served by the District.

B. The District will post the notice of proposed charges and public hearing at its official posting sites.

SECTION 3: Protest Submittal.

(i) Delivery to the District Clerk’s Office at 525 Henrietta Street, Martinez, CA during published business hours
(ii) Mail to District Clerk at 525 Henrietta Street, City of Martinez, 94553, or (iii) Personally submitting the protest at the public hearing.

B. Protests must be received by the end of the public hearing, including those mailed to the District. No postmarks will be accepted; therefore, any protest not physically received by the close of the hearing, whether or not mailed prior to the hearing, shall not be counted.

C. Because an original signature is required, emailed, faxed and photocopied protests shall not be counted.

D. Although oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as a formal protest, unless accompanied by a written protest, the Board of Directors welcomes input from the community during the public hearing on the proposed charges.

SECTION 4: Protest Requirements.

A. A written protest must include:
(i) A statement that it is a protest against the proposed charge that is the subject of the hearing. (ii) Name of the record owner or customer of record who is submitting the protest; (iii) Identification of assessor’s parcel number, street address, or utility account number of the parcel with respect to which the protest is made;
(iv) Original signature and legibly printed name of the record owner or customer of record who is submitting the protest.

B. Protests shall not be counted if any of the required elements (i thru iv) outlined in the preceding subsection “A.” are omitted.

SECTION 5: Protest Withdrawal.

Any person who submits a protest may withdraw it by submitting to the District Clerk a written request that the protest be withdrawn. The withdrawal of a protest shall contain sufficient information to identify the affected parcel and the name of the record owner or customer of record who submitted both the protest and the request that it be withdrawn.

SECTION 6: Multiple Record Owners or Customers of Record. 94 442935.3 4 of 5
A. Each record owner or customer of record of a parcel served by the District may submit a protest. This includes instances where:
(i) A parcel is owned by more than one record owner or more than one name appears on the District’s records as the customer of record for a parcel, or
(ii) A customer of record is not the record owner, or
(iii) A parcel includes more than one record customer, or (iv) Multiple parcels are served via a single utility account, as master-metered multiple family residential units.

B. Only one protest will be counted per parcel as provided by Government Code Section 53755(b).

SECTION 7: Transparency, Confidentiality, and Disclosure.

A. To ensure transparency and accountability in the fee protest tabulation while protecting the privacy rights of record owners and customers of record, protests will be maintained in confidence until tabulation begins following the public hearing.

B.. Once a protest is opened during the tabulation, it becomes a disclosable public record, as required by state law and will be maintained in District files for two years.

SECTION 8: District Clerk.

The District Clerk shall not accept as valid any protest if he or she determines that any of the following is true:

A. The protest does not state its opposition to the proposed charges.

B. The protest does not name the record owner or record customer of the parcel identified in the protest as of the date of the public hearing.

C. The protest does not identify a parcel served by the District that is subject to the proposed charge.

D. The protest does not bear an original signature of the named record owner of, or record customer with respect to, the parcel identified on the protest. Whether a signature is valid shall be entrusted to the reasonable judgment of the District Clerk, who may consult signatures on file with the County Elections Official.

F. The protest was not received by the District Clerk before the close of the public hearing on the proposed charges.

G. A request to withdraw the protest was received prior to the close of the public hearing on the proposed charges.

SECTION 9: District Clerk’s Decisions Final.

The District Clerk’s decision that a protest is not valid shall constitute a final action of the District and shall not be subject to any administrative appeal.

SECTION 10: Majority Protest.

A. A majority protest exists if written protests are timely submitted and not withdrawn by the record owners of, or customers of record with respect to, a majority (50% plus one) of the parcels subject to the proposed charge.

B. While the District may inform the public of the number of parcels served by the District when a notice of proposed rates is mailed, the number of parcels with active customer accounts served by the District on the date of the hearing shall control in determining whether a majority protest exists.

SECTION 11: Tabulation of Protests.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the District Clerk shall tabulate all protests received, including those received during the public hearing, and shall report the result to the Board of Directors. If the number of protests received is insufficient to constitute a majority protest, the District Clerk may determine the absence of a majority protest without validating the protests received, but may instead 95 442935.3 5 of 5
deem them all valid without further examination. Further, if the number of protests received is obviously substantially fewer than the
number required to constitute a majority protest, the District Clerk may determine the absence of a majority protest without opening the envelopes in which protests are returned.

SECTION 12: Report of Tabulation.

If at the conclusion of the public hearing, the District Clerk determines that he or she will require additional time to tabulate the protests, he or she shall so advise the Board of Directors, which may adjourn the meeting to allow the tabulation to be completed on another day or days. If so, the Board of Directors shall declare the time and place of tabulation, which shall be conducted in a place where interested members of the public may
observe the tabulation, and the Borad of Directors shall declare the time at which the meeting shall be resumed to receive and act on the tabulation report of the District Clerk.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Michael Chandler, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Michael P. Cass, Assistant Community and Economic Development Director
TITLE: Introduction of Ordinance Adding to and Amending the Martinez Municipal Code to Comply with Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Transit - Oriented Communities Policy

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing, waive the reading, and introduce an Ordinance, approving Zoning Text Amendments to the Martinez Municipal Code by: 1) adding Chapter 22.85 (Tenant Anti -Harassment Protections) to comply with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Transit -Oriented Communities Policy (“TOC”) and 2) amending Chapter 22.04 (Definitions) to reference the new Chapter 22.85 definitions.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Goal C. Economic development and housing
Strategy 1. Achieve Housing Element certification and collaborate with the City Council on its implementation.

BACKGROUND
Legal Context
California Civil Code Section 1940.2 prohibits a landlord from using “force, willful threats, or menacing conduct” to influence a tenant to vacate a dwelling. The law also prohibits a landlord from threatening to disclose information regarding the immigration or citizenship status of a tenant, unless otherwise required by federal law. Tenants are entitled to up to $2,000 per violation if they prevail in a civil action.

California Civil Code Section 1942.5 prohibits a landlord from retaliating against a tenant for exercising their legal rights. Landlords who violate this prohibition are liable for actual damages, attorney’s fees, and punitive damages of up to $2,000 per retaliatory act.

State law lacks specific language defining harassing behavior, which can make violations difficult to prove in court. Local tenant anti-harassment protection regulations, such as the proposed regulations, can reduce displacement pressures and informal evictions by clarifying what constitutes harassment and retaliation and empowering tenants to stop it. 102

STAFF REPORT

Within Martinez, there are multiple organizations providing free or discounted support services for tenants and landlords. For instance, Bay Area Legal Aid provides free legal assistance, including legal advice and counsel, refer rals, and representation, for low - income tenants in cases involving eviction defense, landlord harassment and discrimination, lockouts, utility shutoffs, and repairs and maintenance.

Transit-Oriented Communities Policy
In September 2022, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (“MTC”) established the Transit-Oriented Communities (“TOC”) Policy. The TOC Policy seeks to support the region’s transit investments by ensuring communities around transit stations and along transit corridors are places that not only support transit ridership, but are places where Bay Area residents of all abilities, income levels, and racial and ethnic backgrounds can live, work, and access services. The TOC Policy is rooted in Plan Bay Area (“PBA”) 2050, the region’s Long Range Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy and addresses all four elements of the Plan —transportation, housing, the economy, and the environment. Compliance with the TOC Policy is voluntary for local jurisdictions that want to advance the goals of PBA 2050 or to be eligible and competitive/eligible for some MTC discretionary funding, including the One Bay Area Grant (“OBAG”) funding cycles.

The TOC Policy requirements consist of the following four elements:

1. Minimum residential and commercial office densities for new development.

2. Affordable housing production, preservation and protection, and stabilizing businesses to prevent displacement.

3. Parking management.

4. Transit station access and circulation.

A local jurisdiction will fulfill the Affordable Housing and Commercial Stabilization requirements by selecting from the menu of options that best meet local needs.

Jurisdictions are required to select two policies for each of the “3Ps” -affordable housing production, preservation, and protection. On November 20, 2024, the City Council directed staff to pursue compliance with the TOC Policy, including Protection Policy 11:

Tenant Anti-Harassment Protections.

Other Jurisdictions
Other local jurisdictions that have adopted Tenant Anti-Harassment Protection policies or regulations include the Cities of Antioch, Berkeley, Concord, Oakland, Richmond, and San Francisco, and the County of Santa Cruz. Other local jurisdictions are anticipated to also adopt similar regulations to comply with the TOC Policy.

Planning Commission Review
On January 27, 2026 and February 24, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2 6-03, forwarding a 103

recommendation to the City Council to adopt an Ordinance, approving Zoning Text Amendments to the Martinez Municipal Code by: 1) adding Chapter 22.85 (Tenant Anti- Harassment Protections) to comply with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Transit-Oriented Communities Policy (“TOC”) and 2) amending Chapter 22.04 (Definitions) to reference the new Chapter 22.85 definitions.

On March 4, 2026, the City Council continued the matter, without discussion, to April 15, 2026, due to the length of the agenda. On April 15, 2026, the City Council continued the matter, without discussion, to May 6, 2026, due to the length of the agenda.

DISCUSSION
To comply with these various policies and remain competitive in future OBAG funding cycles, the City Council shall consider the adoption of Martinez Municipal Code (“MMC”) Chapter 22.85 (Tenant Anti-Harassment Protections).

To comply with the TOC Policy, a local jurisdiction’s tenant anti -harassment policy must meet the following minimum requirements:
 The tenant anti -harassment pol icy must define harassing behaviors, which at minimum shall include behaviors prohibited by state law as well as the following:
o Any behavior to prevent tenant organizing. Landlords may not impinge tenants’ ability to engage in organizing activities regardi ng issues of common interest or concern to other tenants, including unreasonable restrictions on distributing literature to and/or meeting with other residents at properties owned by the same landlord.
o Refusal to accept or acknowledge receipt of a tenant's lawful rent payment. o Requesting information or documentation relating to immigration or citizenship status, unless otherwise required by federal law. o Failing to perform repairs or maintenance or threatening to fail to perform repairs or maintenance requi red by contract or by state, county, or local housing, health, or safety laws.
 The policy must state that the City Attorney as well as the impacted tenant may bring a civil action or request an injunction in response to harassment. It is important to note, City Attorney cannot bring a civil action or request an injunction on behalf of a Tenant; the City of Martinez is the City Attorney’s client, not the Tenant or Landlord. Therefore, to comply with this provision of the TOC Policy, the City has developed and will maintain a list of third-party organizations on the City’s website that may provide pro -bono or discounted legal services to Tenants and Landlords who may request enforcement of their rights under MMC Chapter 22.85. 104

STAFF REPORT
May 6, 2026

 The policy must establish penalties for landlords found to be in violation, including fines, attorneys' fees, and punitive damages. The policy shall also define a violation of the ordinance as an affirmative defense for a tenant in an eviction proceeding.  The policy must establish noticing requirements for landlords to provide each tenant with an information sheet outlining anti -harassment protections and any other tenant protections in the jurisdiction (e.g., rent stabilization, just cause, relocation assistance). The sheet must include links to the City website and at least one local tenant legal services organization.

The proposed regulations were developed using MTC’s template with minor modifications and clarifications.

The City Council is now being asked to conduct a public hearing and introduce the Ordinance approving the MMC amendments.

Public Noticing and Outreach
In accordance with Government Code Sections 65090 and 65091, the City published a “Notice of Public Hearing” in the Contra Costa News R egister, was posted at City Hall, and was mailed via first class or electronic mail to individuals who had previously filed written request for such notice a minimum of 10 days in advance of the original public hearing.

The City received a public comment f rom Michael Reiser, a Martinez resident who provides legal representation and advocacy for seniors and low -income tenants facing housing issues throughout Contra Costa County, including eviction defense, habitability violations, and landlord harassment . Reiser believes the Ordinance is a strong foundation and commend s the City for pursuing these protections . Reiser recommends adding notice requirements for existing tenants and at termination. Staff has added notification to existing tenants to MMC Section 22.85.040D.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (the commonsense exemption) because it can be seen with certainty t hat there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the Ordinance would enable the City to remain eligible for OBAG funding for transportation projects. The Ordinance may result in an impact on staff time when anti - harassment complaints are received which would require coordination with tenants, landlords, and the organizations providing support services for tenants and landlords.

Subject: Public Comment re: 20. Introduction of Ordinance Adding Martinez Municipal Code Chapter

22.85 (Tenant Anti[1]Harassment Protections) and Amending Chapter 22.04 (Definitions) to Comply with

Good Morning Martinez City Council,

I am a staff attorney at Contra Costa Senior Legal Services, where I provide legal representation and advocacy for seniors and low-income tenants facing housing issues throughout Contra Costa County, including eviction defense, habitability violations, and landlord harassment. I am also a resident and homeowner of Martinez, and I am writing in my personal capacity to offer strong support as well as a comment on the proposed Chapter 22.85 (Tenant Anti-Harassment Protections) currently before the City Council.

In my professional capacity, I have significant familiarity with the City of Antioch's Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2232-C-S) as well as the City of Richmond's Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-21 N.S.), both of which cover populations with housing challenges similar to those faced by Martinez residents. Having reviewed the draft Martinez ordinance, I believe it is a strong foundation and I commend the City for pursuing these protections. I would like to offer a suggestion that the City may wish to consider in order to improve the ordinance:

I would considering adding Notice Requirements for Existing Tenants and at Termination (Section 22.85.040). The draft ordinance requires notice only at the commencement of new tenancies. Both the Antioch and Richmond ordinances additionally require delivery of notice to all existing tenants within 30 days of the ordinance's effective date, and re-delivery of the notice simultaneously with any notice of termination. The latter requirement is particularly important, as tenants most need to be informed of their rights at the moment a termination notice is served. Perhaps a requirement that attaching a notice as an addendum to a signed lease would be appropriate here as well.

Thank you for considering my comment. I believe the proposed ordinance represents a significant step forward for tenant protections in Martinez, and I hope these suggestions are helpful to the City Council's consideration. I am happy to discuss any of the above further and will be at the city council meeting tonight at 7pm.

122
Best,

Michael Reiser Jr.

DATE: May 6, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Michael Chandler, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Courtney Butler, Accountant
June Du, Finance Director
TITLE: Receive and File Quarterly Investment Report for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and File Quarterly Investment Report for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026.

BACKGROUND
At the close of each quarter, the City Treasurer certified the quarterly investment report, which is then presented to the City Council by the Finance Director. The investment report presents the status of the City’s investment holding and demonstrates compliance with the City’s Investment policy. The policy emphasizes the following priorities:
1) Safety- Protection of the principal.
2) Liquidity- Ensuring sufficient cash flow to meet operational needs. 3) Yield- Achieving a reasonable rate of return while maintaining safety and liquidity.

DISCUSSION
As of March 31, 2026, the City’s investment portfolio had a par value of $86,054,076 and a market value of $86,063,448. These balances include holdings in LAIF, California CLASS, and Clearwater, and exclude operating cash. The City’s operating cash balance as of that date was $1,497,527.

Compared to the prior quarter ending December 31, 2025, the market value of the City’s investment portfolio increased by $14,985,409, from $71,078,039 to $86,063,448. This increase is primarily attributable to regular revenue inflows received during the f irst quarter of the calendar year, including secured property tax receipts, lease payments, and other seasonal revenues, as well as an additional $4.3 million water bond draw to reimburse water CIP project expenditures.

Year over year, the March 2026 portf olio reflects an increase of $1,511,686 in par value and $1,520,191 in market value compared to March 2025, when the portfolio had a par value of $84,542,390 and a market value of $84,543,257. The overall market performance declined, with average yields decreasing from 4.34% to 3.75%. The $1,511,686 increase is largely driven by the one-time $4.3 million water bond draw.

CITY OF MARTINEZ1
Tenant Anti-Harassment Protections
City Council
April 15, 2026
CITY OF MARTINEZ2
• California Civil Code Section 1940.2 prohibits a landlord from using “force, willful threats, or menacing conduct” to influence a tenant to vacate a dwelling. The law also prohibits a landlord from threatening to disclose information regarding the immigration or citizenship status of a tenant, unless otherwise required by federal law. Tenants are entitled to up to $2,000 per violation if they prevail in a civil action. • California Civil Code Section 1942.5 prohibits a landlord from retaliating against a tenant for exercising their legal rights. Landlords who violate this prohibition are liable for actual damages, attorney’s fees, and punitive damages of up to $2,000 per retaliatory act. • State law lacks specific language defining harassing behavior, which can make violations difficult to prove in court.

Background
CITY OF MARTINEZ3
• Local anti-harassment ordinances can:
• Reduce displacement pressures and informal evictions by clarifying what constitutes harassment and retaliation and empowering tenants to stop it. • Establish programs to provide legal and support services and provide proactive education for tenants and landlords.
• Ensure an accessible, safe, and effective reporting process for tenants to report harassment or retaliation and support local and regional organizations providing tenant support services.

Background
CITY OF MARTINEZ4
• In September 2022, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (“MTC”) established the Transit- Oriented Communities (“TOC”) Policy.
• The TOC Policy seeks to support the region’s transit investments by ensuring communities around transit stations and along transit corridors are places that not only support transit ridership, but are places where residents of all abilities, income levels, and racial and ethnic backgrounds can live, work, and access services.
• Compliance with the TOC Policy is voluntary for jurisdictions that want to be eligible and competitive for some MTC discretionary funding, including the One Bay Area Grant (“OBAG”) funding cycles. • The TOC Policy requirements consist of the following four elements:
• Minimum residential and commercial office densities for new development. • Affordable housing production, preservation, and protection, and stabilizing businesses to prevent displacement.
• Parking management.
• Transit station access and circulation.

Transit-Oriented Communities Policy
CITY OF MARTINEZ5
• Jurisdictions are required to select two policies for each of the “3Ps”-affordable housing production, preservation, and protection.
• On November 20, 2024, the City Council directed staff to pursue compliance with the TOC Policy, including Protection Policy 11: Tenant Anti-Harassment Protections.

Transit-Oriented Communities Policy (Continued)
CITY OF MARTINEZ6
• Define harassing behaviors, which at minimum shall include behaviors prohibited by state law as well as the following:
• Any behavior to prevent tenant organizing.
• Refusal to accept or acknowledge receipt of a tenant's lawful rent payment. • Requesting information or documentation relating to immigration or citizenship status, unless otherwise required by federal law.
• Failing to perform repairs or maintenance or threatening to fail to perform repairs or maintenance. • State the City Attorney, as well as the impacted tenant, may bring a civil action or request an injunction in response to harassment. City will maintain a list of third-party organizations that may provide pro-bono or discounted legal services.
• Establish penalties for landlords found to be in violation, including fines, attorneys' fees, and punitive damages.
• Establish noticing requirements for landlords to provide each tenant with an information sheet outlining anti- harassment protections. The sheet must include links to the City website and at least one local tenant legal services organization.
• Proposed regulations use MTC’s template with minor modifications and clarifications.

Tenant Anti-Harassment Protections Requirements
CITY OF MARTINEZ7
• Reviewed on January 27, 2026 and February 24, 2026
• Adopted Resolution No. 26-03, forwarding a recommendation to the City Council to adopt the Ordinance, approving Zoning Text Amendments to the Martinez Municipal Code by: 1) adding Chapter

22.85 (Tenant Anti-Harassment Protections) to comply with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Transit-Oriented Communities Policy and 2) amending Chapter 22.04 (Definitions) to reference the new Chapter 22.85 definitions
Planning Commission
