Fee Description
Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.

Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California).

Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 17, 2026 FROM: Damaris Hanson, Utilities Division Manager/Acting Public Works Director SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Nos. 39-26 and 40-26 Approving 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Conduct a public hearing to receive input on the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

2. Adopt Resolution No. 39-26 approving the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and authorizing its submittal to the Department of Water Resources.

3. Adopt Resolution No. 40-26 approving the 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and authorizing its submittal to the Department of Water Resources.

ALTERNATIVES
The Urban Water Management Plan is a requirement of the California Water Code. Staff does not have any recommended alternatives.

FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of Urban Water Management Plan is a requirement for all State of California water and wastewater funding including the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which partially funds Morro Bay’s Water Reclamation Facility project.

BACKGROUND
Every five years, urban water suppliers providing over 3,000 acre-feet of water annually or service to more than 3,000 urban connections must submit an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). The purpose of this UWMP is to conduct long-term resource planning and establish management measures to ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future demands. The UWMP provides a framework to help water suppliers maintain efficient use of urban water supplies, continue to promote conservation programs and policies, ensure that sufficient water supplies are available for future beneficial use, and provide a mechanism for response during drought conditions or other water supply shortages. The City’s draft 2025 UWMP is available for download at:
https://www.morrobayca.gov/2025UWMP.

AGENDA NO: 7.b
MEETING DATE: June 23, 2026

Page 187 of 218 ends

DISCUSSION
The City engaged Confluence Engineering Solutions (ConfluenceES) to prepare the City’s 2025 UWMP. ConfluenceES utilized water and wastewater data provided by the City, as well as City planning documents including Plan Morro Bay in preparation of the 2025 UWMP. California Water Code (CWC) Section 10621(b) and Delta Plan Policy WR P1 require water suppliers notify stakeholders that the UWMP, Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), and reduced reliance on the Delta watershed documentation are being updated and reviewed. The CWC specifies this must be done at least 60 days prior to the public hearing. To fulfill this requirement, the City sent letters of notification of preparation of the 2025 UWMP and WSCP to San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) and San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) 60 days prior to this public hearing. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan
The 2025 UWMP considers water demands and supplies through the year 2050, incorporating projected growth and proposed development. Demand estimates were determined by multiplying current water demand estimates in gallons per capita per day by projected populations. Importantly, the UWMP does not make predictions on population growth. Populations projections in the UWMP utilize existing estimates including, the California Department of Finance (DOF) E-5 Population and Housing Estimates, Plan Morro Bay estimates, and San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) 2060 Regional Growth Forecast for San Luis Obispo County estimates. Current Supply sources include groundwater from the Morro Valley Groundwater Basin, imported water from the State Water Project via the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, and stored water in the San Luis Reservoir. The City’s Water Reclamation Facility is currently under development and the City plans to use indirect potable reuse (IPR) as a supplemental supply source in the future.

ConfluenceES’s comparison and analysis of the City’s future demands and available supplies indicates the City will have sufficient water supply to meet its demands, even during single and multiple dry year events as indicated by the table and graph below, which are based on Table 7-6 and Figure 7-1 in the Draft 2025 UWMP.
5-Year Drought Scenario – Morro Bay
Available supply Acre-Ft 1 2050 Demand Acre-Ft
Year 1 3,640 1,301
Year 2 5,141 1,301
Year 3 2,920 1,301
Year 4 2,311 1,301
Year 5 1,702 1,301

1. Supply assumption includes 436 AFY of Morro Basin groundwater, SWP Allocations based on annual allocations from 2018 – 2022, Stored SWP assumed to be equal to the quantity of stored SWP water available to the City at the beginning of Year 1 (2018 hydrologic year) of 1,531 AF, and during the third, fourth, and fifth consecutive dry years, 412 AFY of IPR Recycled Water.

Page 188 of 218 ends

In the five-year drought scenario described in the table and graph above, historical data on state water allocations and stored state water trends were used along with Morro Valley Basin groundwater and future potable IPR water output. The scenario shows that supply amounts exceed demands. Of note, the 2050 Demand Acre-Feet data contained in the table does not take into account potential water conservation efforts. Such efforts, if enacted during a drought, would decrease overall demand and further ensure the City is able to provide enough water to meet demands.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan
CWC Section 10632 includes an updated requirement to separately adopt the WSCP. In the 2015 UWMP cycle, the WSCP was part of the UWMP. For the 2020 and 2025 UWMPs, the WSCP is a standalone document so that it can be updated independently of the UWMP. However, it still must be referenced in and attached to the 2025 UWMP.

The WSCP is a detailed plan describing how the City intends to identify and respond to foreseeable and unforeseeable water shortages. A water shortage occurs when the water supply is reduced to a level that cannot support typical demand at any given time or a reduction in demand is otherwise needed.

The WSCP is used to provide guidance to the City, staff, and the public by identifying anticipated shortages and response actions to allow for efficient management of any water shortage with predictability and accountability. The WSCP is intended to provide options to manage water shortages.

Official water shortage declarations and water shortage mitigation measures by the City, such as water conservation requirements, may include any combination of components described in the WSCP.

Page 189 of 218 ends

The City will conduct an Annual Supply and Demand Assessment as part of the WSCP each year. This assessment is a short-term outlook for supplies and demands to determine whether the potential for a supply shortage exists and whether there is a need to trigger a water shortage level response and implement stricter water conservation measures.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends City Council conduct a public hearing and receive input on the 2025 UWMP and WSCP, then adopt Resolution No. 39-26 approving the UWMP, Resolution No. 40-26 approving the WSCP, and lastly authorize and instruct the City Clerk to submit these documents to the Department of Water Resources.

Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 18, 2026 FROM: Nate Stong, PE – City Engineer
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 41-26 Annexing Lots 1 through 5 of Tract 2859 (APN 065- 386-015) into the Cloisters Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District (LLMAD) and Directing the Levy of the Annual Assessment

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 41-26 annexing Lots 1 through 5 of Tract 2859 (APN 065-386-015) into the Cloisters Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District (LLMAD) and directing the levy of the annual assessment.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION OF ANNEXATION
Tract 1996, known as the Cloisters development, is a 124-lot subdivision bounded by State Highway One at the east, Morro Strand State Beach at the west, Morro Bay High School at the south, and Azure, Coral, and San Jacinto Streets at the north.

On September 23, 1996, the City Council passed Resolution No. 69-96, which accepted the final map for Tract 1996 known as the Cloisters Subdivision, consisting of 124 lots. Lots 1 through 120 were for single-family residential purposes, Lots 121, 122 (APN 065-386-005 & 016 on attached Assessor’s Map) were for the 27.75-acre park and open space, Lot 124 was dedicated for a fire station and Lot 123 was offered to the State. Lots 121, 122, 123, and 124 are not currently part of the assessment district.

The assessment district formation proceedings began in August 1996, with the owners of the real property within the proposed district petitioning the City and consenting in writing to the formation of the district pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. The assessment district formation proceedings concluded with the final public hearing for formation on September 23, 1996, which levied the annual assessment totaling $148,944 ($1,241.20 per parcel x 120 residential parcels) for the maintenance of the 27.75 acres of park and open space required as a condition of approval for Tract 1996.

Lot 124 was declared as surplus by the city and sold in 2021. The new owner has since subdivided the property into five residential lots, recorded as Tract 2859 in December 2025. The owner has consented to annex these new lots into the Cloisters LLMAD, provided as Attachment 2, which would satisfy applicable conditions of approval regarding the new residential lots contributing to the common maintenance of Tract 1996’s park and open space consistent with existing residential lots. The additional five lots would bring the total number of assessed properties in the district to 125. In addition to the consent form, a ballot was mailed to the owner to satisfy Proposition 218 requirements (Attachment 3).

AGENDA NO: 7.c
MEETING DATE: June 23, 2026

Page 195 of 218 ends

On May 12, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-26 declaring the City’s intention to annex Lots 1 through 5 of Tract 2859 into the LLMAD and set a public hearing to occur at this June 23, 2026 meeting. Under Streets and Highways Code section 22608, the right of majority protest and hearing notice is limited to the owner of Lots 1 through 5 of Tract 2859 who has consented to the annexation and waived further notice..

Pursuant to the requirements of Proposition 218, notice of the proposed annexation and assessment ballot were mailed to the owner of Lots 1 through 5 of Tract 2859 on April 30, 2026 in order to impose a new assessment on the parcels to be annexed. Any ballots, or requests to change or withdraw a ballot, must be received by the City Clerk before the close of the public hearing on June 23, 2026.

The ballots will be tabulated by the City Clerk following the conclusion of the public hearing. If a majority of tabulated ballots oppose the assessment, then the proposed assessment cannot be imposed. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Clerk will be asked by the Mayor to make a statement indicating the number of written protests received and indicate whether that amount is a majority of the tabulated ballots. If there is no majority protest from the owner(s) of Lots 1 through 5, then the assessment may be imposed on the parcels to be annexed.

LEVY OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
On April 14, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 18-26, which initiated the proceedings to levy the annual assessment to fund the maintenance of the Cloisters Park and Open Space. On May 12, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-26 approving the Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27, declaring the City’s intention to levy the annual assessment for the LLMAD, and establishing a public hearing to occur at this June 23, 2026 meeting to order the levy for FY 26/27. A legal notice of this public hearing was published in the San Luis Obispo Tribune on June 11, 2026.

Staff intends to continue to perform most maintenance tasks with City Maintenance staff and directly allocate their time spent maintaining the site to the assessment district. As part of the annual assessment process, staff is required to provide an Engineer’s Report, which is an estimate of costs for maintenance of the Cloisters LLMAD. The cost estimates are based on the maintenance standards currently adhered to in existing parks within Morro Bay and included in the Flat Rate Manual for Parks Maintenance, as well as maintenance costs from the current fiscal year. Personnel costs, as well as supplies and services, have risen significantly in the last several years.

FISCAL IMPACT
The per-parcel assessment for providing maintenance of the Cloisters LLMAD is $1,241.20 for a total annual assessment of $148,944 assuming only the original 120 lots are assessed, or $155,150 if the additional five lots from Tract 2859 are included for a total of 125 assessed parcels.

The costs of maintaining Cloisters Park, Open Space, trails, medians, and parkways within the district in excess of the proposed assessment revenue of $155,150, after annexation of the five new residential lots, is to be subsidized by the General Fund per City Council direction on May 24, 2004.

The district will have an estimated fund balance of $205,647 at the end of FY 2025-26, pending audited actuals from this year. The fund balance is to be used for deferred maintenance and onetime expenses, permits, and savings for future capital projects. Assuming the FY 2026-27 budget is fully expended, the fund balance will decrease by nearly $21,500. The fund balance and its use is not part of the content of the Engineer’s Report. In alignment with Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommendations to simplify budgeting and budget presentations to the public, and to reduce duplicate budgeting associated with interfund transfers, the Cloisters Accumulation Fund was consolidated with the Cloisters Assessment District Fund (570) at the end of FY 2021-22.

Page 196 of 218 ends

This is also consistent with Council direction on April 26, 2022, to eliminate enterprise accumulation funds.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends annexation of Lots 1 through 5 into the Cloisters Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District and continuation of the assessment of the property owners within the Cloisters LLMAD to fund the City’s maintenance of the Cloisters Park and Open Space with supplemental funding coming from the general fund.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND ASSESSMENT BALLOT PROCEDURES

CLOISTERS LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT

CITY OF MORRO BAY
Purpose of this Notice
The purpose of this notice, that includes both this document and the accompanying Assessment Ballot which also includes Instructions for Completion and Delivery of Assessment Ballot, is:
• to provide information to the record owners of property proposed to be annexed into Cloisters LLMAD of the City of Morro Bay (“City”), regarding proceedings being undertaken by the City to levy the annual assessment on such properties within Cloisters LLMAD commencing in fiscal year 2026/2027; • to transmit an Assessment Ballot to the owners of property proposed to be annexed into Cloisters LLMAD, to enable such owner or owners to express support or opposition to the levy of the proposed assessment on such property, by completing and returning the Assessment Ballot; and
• to identify the time and place of the scheduled public hearing on these matters and to provide instructions to the owner or owners to assist in completing the Assessment Ballot and returning it to the City.

Reason for the Proposed Assessment
The proposed assessment on properties within Cloisters LLMAD will provide a stable revenue source to fund ongoing special benefit expenses associated with the servicing and maintenance of local landscape improvements including but not limited to the maintenance of the thirty-four (34) acres of public resource lands including open space and natural lands, wetland area and pond used for drainage mitigation for homes constructed in Cloisters, median landscaping, trees, a neighborhood park and recreation area, fencing and other public improvements. These improvements are considered a particular and distinct special benefit to properties in Cloisters LLMAD.

Basis upon which the assessment is Calculated
Each year the City determines the estimated cost to maintain and service the improvements within Cloisters LLMAD to appropriately allocate those costs to only the benefiting properties. The cost of providing the improvements determined to be of special benefit are allocated to parcels within Cloisters LLMAD based on a benefit formula that equitably distributes those costs based on the proportional special benefits to each parcel. The total eligible special benefit expenses for Cloisters LLMAD are divided by the total of all parcels within Cloisters LLMAD. The result of this calculation establishes the annual assessment rate per parcel within Cloisters LLMAD.

A more detailed description of the improvements and basis upon which increased assessments have been calculated is described in the Engineer’s Report, which is on file with the City.

The Total Annual Assessment Proposed to be Charged
The total annual amount of the assessment being balloted to properties proposed to be annexed to the Cloisters LLMAD is $6,206.00. This total amount balloted divided by the total number of parcels proposed to be annexed to the Cloisters LLMAD results in an annual assessment rate of $1,241.20 per parcel.

Duration of the Assessment
If approved, the proposed assessment indicated on the accompanying ballot will be assessed and appear on your 2026/2027 property tax bill from the County. At the City Council’s discretion, a lesser amount may be assessed. Because the proposed assessment will provide annual funding for the ongoing maintenance and operation of the improvements, there is no sunset on the assessments (no end date), but the annual budget and assessments shall be presented at a public hearing each fiscal year, which is open to the public for comment and testimony. The assessments may not exceed the Proposed Maximum Assessment Rate shown on the attached ballot without majority property owner approval of a new assessment ballot identifying a new increased maximum assessment rate.

Public Hearing
Notice is hereby given that a public hearing regarding the proposed levy of an assessment for properties proposed to be annexed to the Cloisters LLMAD, will be held during a regular meeting of the Morro Bay City Council, in the Veterans Memorial Building, located at 209 Surf Street, Morro Bay, California, on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, starting at 5:30 P.M.

The City Council shall consider all objections and protests, if any, to the proposed assessment on properties proposed to be annexed to the Cloisters LLMAD which has been deemed necessary for the operation and maintenance of Cloisters LLMAD landscaping maintenance and improvements. Any interested person shall be permitted to present written and oral testimony regarding these proceedings. The City Council may impose reasonable time limits on both the length of the entire public hearing and the length of each interested person’s oral testimony. The City Council may also continue the public hearing from time to time.

Page 204 of 218 ends

Protest Provisions
Pursuant to California Constitution Article XIIID, Section 4 (e), at the Public Hearing, the City Council shall consider all protests against the proposed assessment from property owners of the properties proposed to be annexed to the Cloisters LLMAD. In addition to the property owner assessment ballots, written protests to the proposed assessment from owners of properties proposed to be annexed to the Cloisters LLMAD may be filed with the City Clerk prior to or during the Public Hearing. The City shall not impose an assessment for properties proposed to be annexed Cloisters LLMAD if there is a majority protest, as calculated set forth below.

Assessment Ballot
The amount of the assessment identified on the accompanying Assessment Ballot as “Your Parcel’s Balloted Assessment Amount” represents your parcel’s proportional special benefit of the total amount being balloted at the maximum assessment rate. Any time before the end of the Public Hearing, you may submit the Assessment Ballot to the City Clerk. To do so: mark the Ballot either “YES - IN FAVOR OF THE ASSESSMENT” or “NO - OPPOSED TO THE ASSESSMENT”, sign the Ballot, seal the Ballot in the enclosed return envelope, and mail or deliver it to the City Clerk. If you do not use the envelope provided, the return envelope should have the words “ASSESSMENT BALLOT, DO NOT OPEN” printed on the outside to ensure it is not opened in advance of the Public Hearing. The Ballot may be submitted, changed or withdrawn at any time before the end of the Public Hearing. If you need a replacement Ballot, call the Office of the City Clerk at (805) 772-6205.

Only ballots issued by the City are considered valid ballots (copies or facsimiles are not valid ballots). Any Ballot returned unmarked, unsigned, or not received by the City Clerk before the end of the public hearing will be rejected and not counted.

The proposed assessment will not be imposed for properties proposed to be annexed to the Cloisters LLMAD if the Ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed the Ballots submitted in favor of the assessment.

Only valid ballots received by the City Clerk before the end of the public hearing shall be counted. Please ensure that your Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) listed on the accompanying Assessment Ballot is included on any written protest or correspondence so that your property can be correctly identified for the record.

Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 18, 2026 FROM: John Craig, City Manager
Brian Stack, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Receive Due Diligence Report and Consider Recommendation to Proceed with Closing Under the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Cayucos Sanitary District for the Jointly Owned Wastewater Treatment Plant Property Located at 160/180 Atascadero Road and 1700 Embarcadero

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to proceed with closing under the Purchase and Sale Agreement (Agreement) between the City of Morro Bay (City) and Cayucos Sanitary District (CSD) for the purchase by the City of the CSD portion of the jointly owned Former Wastewater Treatment Plant Property (WWTP) located at 160/180 Atascadero Road and 1700 Embarcadero (Property) and other jointly owned assets and take such other actions and execute documents necessary to complete the acquisition, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney as to form and legal effect.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could direct staff to not complete the acquisition or pursue another course of action.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council previously approved a budget amendment for the purchase price of $3,867,800 on March 24, 2026. As previously indicated, the acquired interests would initially be Sewer Fund capital assets and recorded in the Sewer Capital Fund. However, depending on future uses of the property, the acquired interests could later be transferred from the Sewer Fund to the General Funds at the appropriate valuation to allow the Sewer fund to reinvest proceeds in its core operations and capital needs while providing a future ongoing revenue source for the General Fund. In addition to the purchase price, the City is expected to incur approximately $45,000 in due diligence and closing costs as part of the acquisition which will be funded by current year appropriations.

BACKGROUND
On March 24, 2026, the City Council approved entering into the Agreement to buy out the CSD’s interest in the Property and other assets jointly owned assets under the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for $3,867,800. The Agreement provided for a ninety-day escrow period and due diligence items related to title, property inspections and a qualitative environmental assessment. Standard title AGENDA NO: 8.a
MEETING DATE: June 23, 2026

Page 210 of 218 ends

policy and escrow charges would be split evenly by the City and CSD. Upon the close of escrow, the JPA would be deemed terminated and there would be no more jointly owned assets with the CSD.

The Property includes the location of the WWTP, the former concrete plant (demolished in 2025), a portion of the Morro Dunes RV park and a portion of public beach. In between the former concrete plant and WWTP is a parcel wholly owned by the City and currently used as a maintenance yard. If the acquisition is completed, the City would own all of the parcels outlined below (in addition to the remaining southern portion of the Morro Dunes RV Park site already owned by the City and leased to the park operator).

The primary purpose of this item is to provide the results of the qualitative environmental assessment and receive Council confirmation to proceed with closing.

DUE DILIGENCE REPORT
Qualitative Environmental Assessment
Environmental firm Roux Associates, Inc. was retained to perform a qualitative environmental assessment consisting of a historical site investigation and document review, and if needed limited subsurface investigation to evaluate the potential for hazardous materials.

The historical site investigation and document review identified four potential environmental concerns:
(i) a previously reported release of 50 gallons of diesel fuel at the Concrete Plant; (ii) the previously reported removal of a former underground storage tank at the Concrete Plant in 1991; (iii) visible oil staining on the floor of the former WWTP maintenance building; and (iv) reported detections of PerPage 211 of 218 and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in WWTP influent, effluent and biosolids and from sludge bed concrete samples taken as part of the pre-demolition structure assessment report. Soil management plans were recommended for the first two items and for the WWTP area during any future earthmoving activities which would be standard practice. Subsurface investigation was recommended for only the last two items.

The objective of the subsurface investigation was to evaluate potential subsurface impacts from observed oil-stained concrete in the WWTP maintenance building and gather preliminary information on potential impacts to the subsurface from PFAS in the vicinity of the 2-acre drying beds in the southern portion of the Site. Soil boring and soil, soil vapor and existing groundwater well sampling occurred on May 27 and 29, 2026.

Boring B-1 was advanced in the vicinity of the oil-stained concrete of the Maintenance Building’s storage room, with soil samples collected at approximately 0.5 and 5 feet below ground surface (bgs) (see figure of sampling locations on page 2 of Attachment 1). Soil samples were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and a soil vapor probe was installed at approximately 5 feet bgs to analyze for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). TPH and VOCs were not detected in the two soil samples collected from boring B-1. VOCs were detected in the soil vapor results, with only one compound, benzene being detected above conservative vapor intrusion screening levels established by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (see summary of analytical results in Attachment 2).

Borings B-2 through B-5 were advanced between the drying beds, generally near the locations of previous concrete samples for the pre-demolition report (Attachment 1). Soil samples from Borings B-2 through B-4 were collected at approximately 5 fee bgs and analyzed for PFAS. Boring B-5 could not be advanced beyond 0.7 feet bgs, and soil samples were not collected at that location. There were several detections of various PFAS compounds generally consistent with previous wastewater and concrete results (Attachment 2). Since PFAS is generally ubiquitous, recent studies have indicated it is typical to see PFOS (a type of PFAS) in soil at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 3 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg) as background levels on non-PFAS generating sites. The detection of PFOS at 7.9 µg/kg at boring B-2 indicates there may be some subsurface PFAS impacts resulting from former wastewater treatment operations in the vicinity of the drying beds.

Groundwater samples were collected from existing groundwater monitoring/dewatering wells DW-1 and DW-3 in the northeast portion of the WWTP site and analyzed for PFAS (Attachment 1). There were several low detections of PFAS, all below applicable regulatory thresholds (Attachment 2). The results were also below other PFAS detections in groundwater wells to the northeast. The results indicate on-site operations in the northern portion have likely not caused PFAS impacts to groundwater and that any localized PFAS impacts to soil by the drying beds have not extended to groundwater in the north (groundwater direction flow is generally to the west).

The VOC detections are typical for the observed surface staining and use of the maintenance building for storage of motor oil and other petroleum/maintenance products. It is staff’s understanding that these level of VOCs are low and can be addressed during normal excavation and grading of the site and any future buildings following modern standards as it relates to vapor intrusion.

Page 212 of 218 ends

The PFAS detections are not surprising for wastewater treatment facilities given the ubiquitous nature of PFAS and its common presence in community effluent to such facilities. Only one soil sample was above generally expected background levels and groundwater well detections were low and below other well water detections in the area. Although PFAS detections were low in the water wells tested on site, no groundwater samples were able to be collected within or immediately downgradient of the drying beds because of site constraints (no existing water wells within or immediately down gradient of the drying beds) and timing (the Agreement placed additional levels of review on drilling activities down to groundwater). It is staff’s understanding, while the PFAS testing was necessarily limited in scope, the PFAS results do not raise significant concern about potential widespread PFAS impacts from historic wastewater treatment operations. However, the results would be considered as part of finalizing demolition plans, including protocols that can be developed to help guide where PFAS/other confirmation sampling may be appropriate and development of concentration thresholds for: potential material re-use onsite; disposal of materials/soil offsite; and groundwater precautions.

Preliminary Title Report
Staff has received a Preliminary Title Report issued by First American Title Company and is in the process of finalizing legal descriptions and applicable title policy exceptions with the title company.

There do not appear to be any defects in title or recorded interests that would be applicable to or impact future allowed uses of the Property. A survey was not obtained because the City is already a joint owner and the Property, except for the eastern edge of the former concrete plant, is bounded by existing City owned property or right of way.

ENVIRONMENTAL
On March 24, 2026, the City Council found the acquisition of the Property was consistent with the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and no further environmental review was required. Pursuant to State CEQA guidelines, an EIR for the WRF project was prepared, released for a 45-day public review process on April 3, 2018 to May 18, 2018 and certified by the City Council on August 14, 2018 (State Clearinghouse number 2016081027). The purchase is consistent with and helps implement the WRF project and is consistent with the analysis presented in the EIR and therefore, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent analysis is required.

CONCLUSION
The qualitative assessment along with the previous pre-demolition structure assessment helps provide increased confidence that Property does not contain any significant hazardous materials related concerns. While there may be precautions or work necessary to locate and address any localized impacts, it is within normal expectations for projects of this nature. Staff recommends proceeding with closing under the Agreement as it remains the preferred path to move forward with the demolition and decommissioning of the WWTP and potential future reuse of the site.
