As a home owner and father of a family with a member of the LGBTQ community I am saddened that Moraga does not fly the Pride Flag. I hope you all lean towards inclusion versus exclusion and decide to fly the flag. Our neighboring cities all do and it’s embarrassing that we don’t.

Good afternoon Moraga Town Council. My name is Ana Ramirez. I have been a resident/homeowner in Moraga for the past 23 years. I have raised my now grown children in this community.

I am writing this letter in support of our LGBTQ+ community members and request that you kindly fly the LBGTQ+ flag in our town offices during the month of June, in honor of Pride month. It is extremely important to me that we recognize and honor this marginalized group.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and consideration.

Best regards,
Ana Ramírez

Dear Moraga neighbors,
Since I am not able to attend the Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, I am writing to ask you to raise the Pride flag in Moraga in June.  Both Orinda and Lafayette do so, and it is crucial to support our friends, neighbors, and loved ones.

Dear Members of the Moraga Town Council,
I am writing to respectfully ask that Moraga join the many Contra Costa County cities that raise the Pride flag in June—and that you agendize this topic for discussion at an upcoming Town Council meeting in the near future.

Across our county, including neighboring Orinda, Lafayette, and Walnut Creek, communities visibly affirm that LGBTQ residents and families are valued and belong. Flying the Pride flag is a simple but meaningful gesture—one that acknowledges history, signals safety, and reflects a commitment to inclusion for all who live, work, and learn here.

Moraga is home to LGBTQ neighbors, students, parents, and allies. Raising the Pride flag during Pride Month would send a clear message that our town recognizes their dignity and contributions and stands for fairness and respect. Agendizing this item soon would allow for thoughtful public input and timely planning ahead of June.

Thank you for your consideration and service to our community.

Sincerely,
Aileen Fullchange, resident of Walnut Creek

I want to urge Moraga to raise the LGBTQ+ pride flag in June to celebrate pride month. 15 cities in Contra Costa County raise the flag, including Orinda and Lafayette.  The Pride flag is a beacon of hope and safety for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly for young people.

It tells LGBTQ+ residents that they are not just tolerated, but part of the community fabric.

Dear Members of the Moraga Town Council,
As an eight-year Moraga resident, parent, and LGBTQ ally, I am writing to respectfully ask that Moraga join the many Contra Costa County cities that raise the Pride flag in June.  Please agendize this topic for discussion at an upcoming Town Council meeting in the near future!
Across our county, including neighboring Orinda, Lafayette, and Walnut Creek, communities visibly affirm that LGBTQ residents and families are valued and belong. Flying the Pride flag is a simple but meaningful gesture—one that acknowledges history, signals safety, and reflects a commitment to inclusion for all who live, work, and learn here.

Personally, our family has attended in recent years the Pride flag ceremonies in Lafayette and Orinda.  It has been a powerful way to share with our young children the importance of inclusivity and affirming the LGBTQ members in our community – especially in these difficult times.  They have wondered and questioned why their town of Moraga doesn’t do this as well – sadly, we haven’t been able to share a good answer.  I’m hopeful that the Town Council will consider raising the Pride flag during Pride Month -- sending a clear message that our town recognizes the dignity and contributions of its Moraga LGBTQ neighbors, students, parents, and allies. It would truly be an honor to share such a milestone with our kids -- and allow them to see firsthand that the community where they live stands for fairness and respect for ALL!
Thank you for your consideration and service to our community! Sincerely,
Amy Perkins

Public Comment Regarding Proper Role of the Mayor and Adherence to Council Protocols From [email protected] <[email protected]>
Date Wed 2/11/2026 1:54 PM
To Melisa Melcher <[email protected]>; Town Clerk <[email protected]> Cc Scott Mitnick <[email protected]>
Melisa,
I’m not certain we currently have a Town Clerk to distribute correspondence to the Town Council, so am asking you to forward the below note as needed to arrive to the Town Council members this afternoon, before this evening’s meeting.

Thanks!
Scott B.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
Dear Members of the Moraga Town Council,
I am submitting this public comment out of concern that the current Mayor may be exceeding the scope of the position as defined in the Town’s governing documents. My intention is not to single out any individual, but rather to request that the Council reaffirm and adhere to the formal roles and limitations established for the Mayor and for individual Councilmembers.

According to the Town Council Protocols, the Mayor’s authority is procedural and ceremonial, not executive. The Mayor is annually selected from among the five Councilmembers and is responsible primarily for presiding over meetings, signing official documents, and representing the Town at ceremonial events. The Protocols make clear that the Mayor does not possess unilateral decision‑making power, nor any authority beyond that of other Councilmembers in setting policy or directing staff. [moraga.ca.us]
Further, the Town’s official website reinforces that Moraga operates under a Town Council–Town Manager form of government. Under this structure, the Town Council acts collectively as the community’s policy‑making body, while the Town Manager—appointed by the Council—is charged with the administration and implementation of those policies. This means that no individual Councilmember, including the Mayor, may direct staff or act independently on behalf of the Town in matters of policy or operations. [moraga.ca.us], [moraga.ca.us] These documents reflect a deliberate system of checks, balances, and shared governance. When any Mayor attempts to make decisions outside the procedural and ceremonial scope of the role, or speaks or acts as though vested with independent authority, it undermines the structure clearly defined by the Town Council and codified in Town protocols.

I respectfully request the following:
2/11/26, 2:05 PM Inbox - Melisa Melcher - Outlook
https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox/id/AAQkADI5NTQ5OWE4LTJiNTQtNGYzNS05NTE0LWMxYzhkNGI3OGNmOAAQAOcYX3A6i0a8ufqjzVcMA4s%… 1/2 20 1. That the Council publicly reaffirm the limited, primarily ceremonial nature of the Mayor’s role as established in the Town Council Protocols.

2. That the Council ensure full compliance with the Council–Manager system by emphasizing that no individual Councilmember or Mayor may direct staff or shape policy outside of duly noticed public meetings.

Moraga depends on a clear and well‑functioning Council–Manager structure to operate effectively and maintain public trust. I appreciate the work each of you performs for our community and thank you for your attention to this matter.

Respectfully,

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Nate Levine, Interim Public Works Director/Town Engineer; Deirdre Castillo, Senior Engineer; Yao Miao, Assistant Engineer Subject: Accepting the Completion of Augusta Drive Storm Drain Repairs Project (CIP 25-401)
Meeting Date: February 11, 2026

TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution:

1. Approving the Augusta Drive Storm Drain Repairs Project (CIP 25-401) as complete by FJ&I, Engineering Inc. (San Pablo, CA); and

2. Authorizing the Town Manager to execute the Certificate of Completion; and

3. Authorizing the Town Engineer to file the Resolution of Acceptance and Certificate of Completion with the Contra Costa County Recorder.

BACKGROUND
On November 12, 2025, the Town Council awarded a construction contract to FJ&I Engineering, Inc. for the Augusta Drive Storm Drain Repairs Project under the 2025 Street Rehabilitation Project (CIP 25-401). The work included the removal and replacement of approximately 100 feet of damaged concrete storm drain pipe. Work is now complete and staff is recommending acceptance of the work.

DISCUSSION
FJ&I Engineering, Inc. began work on November 18, 2025. Town staff provided construction oversight, and the contractor coordinated access and scheduling with nearby residents and Moraga Country Club. Storm drain installation and trench restoration were completed on November 25, 2025, and all punch list items have been completed.

The contract also included a Town-requested change order to modify a drainage inlet near 196 Moraga Road. The existing inlet required recurring maintenance to address standing water. To provide a permanent fix, Town staff designed improvements that removed the 28 existing catch basin and installed a new underdrain through the sidewalk to convey runoff to the gutter pan. Based on contractor availability, demonstrated performance on Augusta Drive, and a competitive cost estimate, Town staff directed FJ&I Engineering, Inc. to complete the inlet work to avoid procuring a separate contractor. Work at 196 Moraga Road was completed on January 14, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Augusta Drive Storm Drain Repairs Project was delivered under the 2025 Street Rehabilitation Project (CIP 25-401). The approved contract amount was $135,000, with a construction contingency of $20,250. The final construction cost was $118,500, which is $16,500 below the contract amount. The remaining funds from the Repair Project will be used in the CIP 25-401 construction budget.

CEQA COMPLIANCE
The construction work was previously found to be exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. 15301 (Class 1-Existing Facilities).

ALTERNATIVES

1. Adopt the attached Resolution with modifications; or

2. Do not adopt the attached Resolution and provide direction to staff.

NEXT STEPS
Upon adoption of the resolution, the Town Engineer will provide Public Notice per California Public Contract Code and file the Resolution of Acceptance and Certificate of Completion with the County Recorder’s Office. Following completion of the 35-day public notice period, and provided no claims are received, the Town may release the construction retention.

TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt a Resolution Ratifying Moraga-Orinda Fire District Ordinance 26-01 (Fire Code) and Ordinance 26-02 (Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code), Adopting the 2025 Editions of the California Fire Code and California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, and the 2024 Edition of the International Fire Code by Reference with Certain Local Amendments, and Adopting Findings of Fact to Support the Local Amendments

2. Find the ordinance exempt from review pursuant to sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b) (5) of the California Environmental Quality Act

BACKGROUND
Every three years, the State of California updates the California Fire Code and related building standards, including the California Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code. The 2025 editions of these codes became the minimum statewide standards on January 1, 2026, replacing the 2022 code cycle.

The Moraga-Orinda Fire District (MOFD) is authorized to adopt local amendments and enact more restrictive building standards than those in the State codes when reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions. For the 2025 code cycle, MOFD adopted updated fire code standards (Ordinance 26-01) and, as a separate but related action, adopted the 2025 California WUI Code with local amendments (Ordinance 26-02).

MOFD’s local amendments were developed in coordination with regional fire prevention 34 partners and are intended to provide consistent, community-appropriate standards that reflect wildfire and emergency access conditions within the MOFD service area.

DISCUSSION
On November 19, 2025, the MOFD Board of Directors introduced Ordinance 26-01 (Fire Code) and Ordinance 26-02 (Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code). On January 21, 2026, the Board held a public hearing and adopted both ordinances. Ordinance 26-01 adopts the 2025 California Fire Code, including specified appendices, and by reference the 2024 International Fire Code, with local amendments. Ordinance 26-02 adopts the 2025 California WUI Code, including specified appendices, with local amendments.

MOFD’s ordinances include local amendments intended to address local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions. The full text of the ordinances is included in the attachments. A high-level summary of the types of amendments is provided below.

Ordinance 26-01 – Fire Code (2025 California Fire Code / 2024 International Fire Code) • Clarifies when operational and construction permits are required and updates key definitions used for plan review and inspection.
• Updates requirements related to fire apparatus access, emergency access, and water supply (e.g., access road standards, turnarounds, fire flow and hydrant spacing). • Maintains and updates fire protection system standards, including fire sprinkler and alarm system criteria for certain new construction, additions, and alterations, where applicable. • Updates fire safety during construction and requirements related to hazardous materials management and reporting.

Ordinance 26-02 – Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code (2025 California WUI Code) • Adopts the 2025 California WUI Code and specified appendices to establish wildfire-resilient construction standards within designated WUI areas.
• Includes local amendments addressing ignition-resistant construction and related site design and fire protection features intended to reduce wildfire ignition risk and improve emergency response in the WUI.

Fuel mitigation and exterior hazard abatement standards (vegetation management) are addressed through separate MOFD ordinances and programs. Those requirements are not part of MOFD Ordinance 26-01 or Ordinance 26-02.

The local amendments contained within MOFD Ordinances 26-01 and 26-02 were determined by the MOFD Board to be reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions and are supported by MOFD’s findings of fact. The ordinances will not be effective within the Town until ratified by the Moraga Town Council pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 13869.7.

Pursuant to section 13869.7, the Town may ratify, modify, or deny MOFD’s adopted 35 ordinances, and must transmit its determination to MOFD within 15 days of the determination.

Upon ratification, the Town must file a copy of MOFD’s findings, and any Town findings, together with the adopted ordinances, with the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Town staff reviewed the ordinances and provided suggested revisions to MOFD staff prior to adoption of the ordinances.

Staff recommends ratifying the ordinances to enable MOFD to enforce the requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no fiscal impact on the Town of Moraga, as MOFD enforces the Fire Code.

CEQA COMPLIANCE
Ratification of the MOFD ordinances is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in that the adoption of State codes and the local amendments herein described do not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b) (5) of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations).

ALTERNATIVES

1. Adopt the proposed resolution

2. Do not adopt the resolution. The local amendments in the MOFD Ordinances would not be effective in the Town, or

3. Provide an alternative direction to the staff.

NEXT STEPS
If the Town Council ratifies the Resolution, staff will transmit a copy to MOFD within 15 days.

Staff will also transmit a copy of MOFD’s findings, and any Town findings, together with the adopted ordinances, to HCD.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS: 9.A
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Denise Bazzano, Assistant Town Attorney
Subject: Consider Waiving the First Reading and Introducing an Ordinance Amending Chapter 2.12, “Planning Commission” and Chapter 2.16, “Parks and Recreation Commission” to Revise Terms of Office and Reappointment Processes to be Consistent with the Town’s Interview and Appointment Policy.

Meeting Date: February 11, 2026

TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT

RECOMMENDATION
Consider Waiving the First Reading and Introducing an Ordinance Amending Chapter 2.12, “Planning Commission” and Chapter 2.16, “Parks and Recreation Commission” to Revise Terms of Office and Reappointment Processes to be Consistent with the Town’s Interview and Appointment Policy.

BACKGROUND
The Town of Moraga has several Boards, Committees and Commissions that serve the Town in a variety of capacities. From time to time, members of these bodies may vacate their seat which results in an unscheduled vacancy or their term may come to an end and they do not seek re-appointment. On November 12, 2025, the Town Council adopted by minute order, an Interview and Appointment Policy for Town Boards, Committees, and Commission (“Interview and Appointment Policy”). The Interview and Appointment Policy provides, among other things, a specific process for the recruitment, interview of candidates and selection of candidates to fill vacant Board, Committee and Commission seats.

DISCUSSION
The proposed ordinance would revise sections 2.12.030, “Term of Office” and 2.12.040, “Removal or Vacancy” within Chapter 2.12, “Planning Commission”; and sections 2.16.030, “Term of Office” and 2.16.040, “Removal or Vacancy” within Chapter 2.16, “Park and Recreation Commission” to make changes to be consistent with the Interview and 128
Appointment Policy. Those changes would specify that the term of office of each member is two years and that each member serves two-year terms based upon the date and year of appointment and will serve until the member’s term ends or until a successor is appointed and qualified. The current term for a Planning Commission member and a Parks and Recreation Commission member is two years, so the actual term length remains the same. The changes would also provide that members can serve a maximum of three consecutive terms unless the council determines that continued service of a member is in the best interest of the Town and any vacancy would be filled in accordance with the Town's Interview and Appointment Policy.

The proposed Ordinance would also remove references to start dates of terms, which are no longer relevant.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this item.

CEQA COMPLIANCE
The proposed ordinance is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.), because it constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Provide alternate direction to staff to amend the proposed ordinance; or

2. Do not waive the first reading of the ordinance and provide alternative direction to staff.

NEXT STEPS
If the first reading of the ordinance is waived and changes to the ordinance introduced, staff will return to Council for the waiving of the 2nd ordinance reading and adoption of the updated ordinance. The updated ordinance will go into effect 30 days after adoption.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF MORAGA
AMENDING CHAPTERS 2.12, “PLANNING COMMISSION” AND CHAPTER 2.16, “PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION” TO REVISE TERMS OF OFFICE AND REAPPOINTMENT PROCESSES CONSISTENT WITH THE TOWN’S INTERVIEW
