Dear Fiscal Officer:

Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.

Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2026, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2026–27. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the factors to calculate the 2026–27 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and
unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.

Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.

Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2026. Please note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised.

The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.

If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2026 –27
appropriation limit
is:

B. Fo
llowing is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2026–27 appropriation limit.
2026–27:

Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.95 percent
Population Change = -0.14 percent

The property to be included in the proposed CFD No. 2026-1 (Property) is located between Washington Avenue and Adams Avenue, near the corner of Washington Avenue and Ivy Street. The Gierson Ranch project is proposed to include approximately 107 single-family homes at full buildout and will be developed by the Property Owner.

The Property Owner has requested that the City form CFD No. 2026-1 to encompass the Property, in accordance with the Mello-Roos Act, to finance the costs of certain public improvements through the levy of a special tax and the issuance of bonds. The proposed maximum bonded indebtedness is $8 million. The proceeds of bonds issued by CFD No. 2026-1 are expected to be used to finance public facilities to be owned and operated by the City, as well as financing the payment of Development Impact Fees owed by the Property Owner to the City, and to finance fees and public facilities to be owned and operated by the Murrieta Valley Unified School District and the Western Municipal Water District.

On March 17, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-4915 of Intention to Establish CFD No. 2026- 1 and Resolution No. 4916 of Intention to Incur Bonded Indebtedness for CFD No. 2026-1 and called for a public hearing to be held on April 21, 2026, regarding the proposed formation of CFD No. 2026-1. On April 21, at the Property Owner’s request, the public hearing was continued until June 2, 2026.

The Property Owner has requested that the boundaries of CFD No. 2026-1 include the area described in Exhibit A of Resolution of Intention (No. 26-4915) adopted by City Council on March 17, 2026 City Council meeting, and that special taxes be levied within the boundaries of CFD No. 2026-1 in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFD No. 2026-1 (CFD No. 2026-1 RMA) described in Exhibit C to the Resolution of Intention (No. 26-4915). The proposed rates of the special tax range from $3,956 per unit for single-family homes less than 1,950 square feet to $4,179 per unit for single-family homes greater than 2,150 square feet. The special tax rates within CFD No. 2026-1 will increase two percent (2%) annually on July 1, of each year, commencing July 1, 2026.

The CFD No. 2026-1 Resolution of Formation also approved the execution and delivery of an Acquisition, Construction and Funding Agreement with the Property Owner (Acquisition Agreement).

In order to be eligible for acquisition, such facilities must be constructed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement. The City and CFD No. 2026-1 are only required to pay for the acquisition of such facilities from the proceeds of bonds or special taxes levied in CFD No. 2026-1 and not from any other source.

On file with the City Clerk is a Certificate of the Registrar of Voters of Riverside County certifying that there are no registered voters residing within the boundaries of the CFD No. 2026-1. Accordingly, under the Mello-Roos Act, only property owners who own land in CFD No. 2026-1 are eligible to vote at the election for CFD No. 2026-1, with each owner having one vote for each acre (or portion thereof) that they own within CFD No. 2026 -1. The Property Owner executed a consent and waiver of certain election procedures with respect to the election, including certain timing requirements with respect to the election, in accordance with the Mello-Roos Act. On June 2, 2026, the City Council approved the Resolution of Formation and the Resolution Determining Necessity to Incur Bonded Indebtedness, the City Clerk conducted the election. The Property Owner delivered its ballot to the City Clerk in advance of the public hearing, and the City Clerk announced the election results.

special tax within CFD No. 2026-1, in accordance with the CFD No. 2026-1 RMA.

The Gierson Ranch project was also required to annex to the public safety services, and maintenance services CFDs. Accordingly, the Property Owner requested the Gierson Ranch project be annexed to the Community Facilities District No. 2025-S (Safety Services) and Community Facilities District No. 2025-2 (Maintenance Services) and on March 17, 2026, the City Council adopted resolutions declaring its intention to annex CFD No. 2025-S (Safety Services) and CFD 2025-2 (Maintenance Services). The City Council approved the annexation of the Gierson Ranch project into CFD No. 2025-S (Safety Services) and CFD No. 2025-2 (Maintenance Services), and held public hearings on June 2, 2026.

PUBLIC NOTICING
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

FISCAL IMPACT
The Property Owner has made a deposit of $65,000 to pay for the costs of the formation proceedings, which may be reimbursed to the Property Owner from proceeds of a future bond issuance in accordance with the reimbursement agreement with the Property Owner. If established and subject to necessary City Council and voter approvals, each of the CFDs will annually levy special taxes on all of the taxable property within the applicable district in accordance with the applicable rate and method of apportionment. Such special taxes will be used to pay for the costs of services or facilities, administration of the CFDs, including mandated annual disclosures, and, in the case of CFD No. 2026-1, debt service on bonds. Any bonds issued by CFD No. 2026- 1 are not obligations of the City and will be secured solely by the Special Taxes levied within CFD No. 2026-1.

The levying of the special taxes for services is expected to alleviate some of the financial impact of the new development on the costs of providing such services to the Property by the City.

Additionally, the Property Owner provided additional deposits of $30,000 to cover the annexation costs associated with the property annexing into CFD No. 2025-2 (Maintenance Services) and CFD No. 2025-S (Safety Services).

contract, which allows the City to obtain competitively bid pricing from a nationwide government procurement program.

The new mechanic service truck will support fleet maintenance operations and improve apparatus reliability by enabling staff to perform preventative maintenance and repairs in the field. This will reduce reliance on outside vendors, decrease apparatus downtime, and improve overall fleet readiness. The purchase also supports the department’sefforts to address previously identified fleet maintenance needs and aligns with industry-standard fleet management practices.

Under Murrieta Municipal Code 3.08.295 (Cooperative Purchasing), the City Council may use cooperative purchasing programs to acquire equipment. This replacement is part of MFR’svehicle replacement schedule, as was identified as an unfunded project in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Capital Improvement Project budget and Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2025/26 to 2029/30.

The base cost of the mechanic service truck is $236,116.75. In addition, approximately $27,161.40 is required for necessary upfitting to place the vehicle into service, bringing the total to $263,278.15.

Procurement timelines are expected to be shorter than for frontline apparatus; however, fabrication and delivery may still take several months, depending on vendor lead times. A purchase order will be required to initiate the build process.

PUBLIC NOTICING
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact for the purchase of the mechanic service truck is $263,278.15. It will be funded through a combination of existing Fire Department budget savings and available funding in the Fleet Replacement Program Fund.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Brian Crawford, Municipal Services Director
PREPARED BY: Bryce Wilson, Management Analyst - Municipal Services SUBJECT:

Approve an Amendment to the Agreement with Excel Landscape, Inc., for Citywide Landscape Maintenance Services

ABSTRACT
Staff requests that the City Council consider an amendment with the City’scurrent landscape maintenance contractor, Excel Landscape (Excel), to extend service for one year. The extension will ensure continuity of landscape maintenance services and maintain existing service levels while providing staff sufficient time to conduct a comprehensive systemwide audit, update technical exhibits and asset inventories, and develop a modernized Request for Proposals (RFP) package for a future competitive solicitation process.

RECOMMENDATION
Amend the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Operating Budget to establish an additional appropriation of $178,649 as detailed in the fiscal impact statement;
Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with Excel Landscape, Inc., to provide Citywide Landscape Maintenance services for an additional year, for a not-to-exceed amount of $3,960,500; and Authorize the Mayor to execute all necessary documents to facilitate the Amendment with Excel Landscape, Inc.

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
On April 15, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 14-3215, approving a two (2) year contract with Excel Landscape, Inc. for maintenance services on parks, slopes, streetscapes, trails, and open spaces within the City of Murrieta for an amount not to exceed $2,164,824, plus contingencies and authorizing the mayor to execute the contract.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the City Council’sgoal of: coordinating and delivering responsive, effective community services relating to priority Tier 1.

Agenda Item No. 15.

DISCUSSION
On April 6, 2014, the City of Murrieta entered into a two (2) year agreement with Excel Landscape, Inc., to provide landscape maintenance services for City-owned properties. The original agreement authorized five - two years renewals, it has subsequently been renewed and amended over the years to address the City’s growing landscape maintenance needs. Excel is responsible for maintaining a wide range of assets, including regional, sports, neighborhood, and passive parks; streetscapes, medians, and slopes; irrigated and non- irrigated open space; trails of various surface types; an equestrian center; and landscaping associated with various community buildings and facilities.

For over 30 years, the City and Excel have maintained a successful partnership in delivering landscape maintenance services to the community. During that time, the City has experienced significant growth, evolving design standards, and changing environmental requirements. Throughout these changes, Excel has continued to provide a suitable level of service across an expanding inventory of public spaces, while working cooperatively with the City under the negotiated agreement. The current agreement limits contract cost increases to no more than three percent (3%) every other year. Unfortunately, the cost for labor and materials has far outpaced the allowed increases.

One of the primary goals in establishing the new Municipal Services Department (MSD) is to refine and enhance the City’sinfrastructure operations and maintenance. MSD is actively working with Excel to find ways not just to maintain the status quo, but to efficiently and effectively use limited resources to significantly improve the City’slandscape. Staff has negotiated a five percent (5%) increase with Excel for Fiscal Year 2026/27, and additional funding is requested to increase the budget for Excel to add new water-efficient planting and weed abatement to begin to improve the overall aesthetics of the City’slandscape in the public right-of-way.

Further, staff recommends extending the existing agreement to allow sufficient time to develop and issue a comprehensive RFP for landscape maintenance services. The extension is necessary to complete a verified inventory of all service locations, including plant and tree data, photographs, and supporting exhibits, and to prepare accurate and competitive RFP documents. This approach will help ensure the City receives responsive, cost-effective proposals and maintains service continuity throughout the procurement process.

Staff anticipates issuing the new Landscape Maintenance RFP no later than December 2026, with award of a new long-term agreement targeted before June 30, 2027.

PUBLIC NOTICING
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact for the one (1) year extension is $3,960,500. The financial obligation for this contract is partially budgeted. A budget of $3,781,847.37, for landscape maintenance is available in the approved Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget; however, an additional appropriation of $178,649 is requested to cover the negotiated increase and additional plant replacements. Therefore, staff is recommending an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Operating Budget in GL 1715162-62040 (Landscape Citywide) in the amount of $178,649.

On June 15, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-4414, approving an agreement with CR&R, Inc. for street sweeping services and amending the fiscal year 2020/2021 operating budget to establish an appropriation for the services (Vote: 5-0).

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the City Council goal of: maintaining a high performing organization that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency relating to an administrative priority.

DISCUSSION
The City of Murrieta (City) maintains a street sweeping program that sweeps over 800 curb miles of roads per month. The goal of the program is to remove particulate matter, pollutants, and other debris from the roadway CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 6/11/2026Page 1 of 3

month. The goal of the program is to remove particulate matter, pollutants, and other debris from the roadway to prevent them from entering the storm drain system and local waterways, in addition to providing an aesthetic benefit.

A street sweeping program is also required to maintain compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) best management practices as part of the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System permit obligations. Consistent, uninterrupted street sweeping is therefore both an operational and regulatory necessity.

The City's current street sweeping services agreement is due to expire on June 30, 2026. While the original agreement includes an option to renew for an additional five (5) year period if both parties agree, the current contractor, CR&R, has declined to extend under the terms of the current agreement. CR&R contends that the cost of providing service has far outpaced the agreement’sterms for price increases, which are allowed every other year and tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). CR&R will only agree to a six-month extension to allow the City to issue another Request for Proposal for street sweeping services To prevent a lapse in service and maintain NPDES compliance, staff recommends approval of an interim agreement with the City’scurrent vendor, CC&R, effective July 1, 2026, with an expiration date of December 31, 2026.

The interim agreement is necessary to maintain service continuity while staff complete the work required to procure a new long-term contract competitively. Key preparatory tasks include:
· Conducting a comprehensive curb mile inventory to verify and update the City’s street network data; · Preparing updated coverage maps and supporting exhibits for inclusion in the Request for Proposals (RFP);
· Developing a modernized RFP package that reflects current operational needs, regulatory requirements, and industry’s best practices; and
· Completing the full competitive solicitation process, including proposal evaluation, negotiations, and Council award.

These tasks cannot be completed before the current contract expiration date. The interim agreement with CC&R will ensure uninterrupted service while this work is completed. Staff will also conduct a comprehensive analysis to determine the cost per curb mile if the City internalizes street sweeping, and compare that cost to the rates submitted by contractors responding to the future RFP. Staff will look at capital outlay costs for street sweeping trucks, truck maintenance, replacement of brushes and other equipment, and labor.

For the current term, the City pays $18.67 per curb mile for sweeping, plus an assortment of costs per square foot for sweeping parking lots at City-owned facilities. CR&R negotiated a new rate of $31.06 per curb mile, an increase of over 66%, and the same percentage increase for sweeping parking lots. Staff surveyed local agencies that also outsourced street sweeping and found the new rate was much lower than the rate other agencies were paying, which was more than $50 per curb mile. Many agencies roll street sweeping into a solid waste franchise agreement or have internalized the service to hedge against large increases.

The current agreement was negotiated in early 2021, before a Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) ruling requiring operators to pay the prevailing wage. Also, the costs for equipment, maintenance, and fuel have all increased. The interim agreement will be the scope of services currently in place, with pricing consistent with existing contract rates. The term of the interim agreement is six (6) months, from July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, at a total cost not to exceed $175,000.

Compliance with Assembly Bill 2561 - Status of Job Vacancies

ABSTRACT
Staff requests that City Council conduct the annual public hearing required by Assembly Bill 2561 (Government Code Section 3502.3) regarding the status of City job vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. The report provides an overview of current staffing levels, vacancy trends, recruitment activities, and employee retention initiatives. Staff has determined that current vacancy levels do not warrant changes to existing hiring policies, procedures, or recruitment practices at this time.

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a Public Hearing to present the status of vacancies and the City’srecruitment and retention efforts, as required by Government Code Section 3502.3.

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
None.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the City Council of: maintaining a high performing organization that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency relating to an administrative priority.

DISCUSSION
On September 22, 2024, Governor Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561), which became effective January 1, 2025. The legislature found that job vacancies are a widespread and significant problem for the public sector, and that high vacancy rates impact public service delivery and the workers forced to handle heavier workloads. The legislature further declared that there is a statewide interest in ensuring that public agency operations are appropriately staffed and that high vacancy rates do not undermine public employee labor relations.

Agenda Item No. 20.

AB 2561 added Section 3502.3 <https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml? lawCode=GOV&sectionNum=3502.3.> to the Government Code, which requires a public agency to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year. If the public agency is adopting a budget, the public hearing must occur before the final budget is adopted. The new law also entitles recognized employee organizations to make a presentation during the hearing. In presenting this item, the public agency is required to identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that have led to obstacles in the hiring process.

If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized positions, the public agency shall, upon request of the employee organization, include the following information during the public hearing:
1) The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit; 2) The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit; 3) Average time to complete the hiring process from posting; and 4) Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions.

The City does not currently have a vacancy rate within any single bargaining unit that meets or exceeds the 20% threshold. Accordingly, the provisions described above are not presently applicable.

Status of Vacancies
The City currently has 472 authorized positions covering 142 different job classifications. Of the authorized positions, 423 are full-time, and 49 are staffed with part-time employees. This past fiscal year, the average vacancy rate across all authorized positions was approximately 4.7%, down from eight percent (8%) the previous fiscal year. City divisions with the highest job vacancy rates included Recreation, Engineering, Fire Administration, and Fire Prevention.

Staff did not identify any specific classification with consistent vacancies. Most vacancies were due to part- time turnover, retirements, promotions, inter-departmental appointments, and other personal reasons. As such, staff is not recommending any changes to policies, procedures, or recruitment activities this year.

The City is currently recruiting for the following vacancies:
· Management Analyst (Fire) · Recreation
Leader (PT) · Finance Manager · Senior
Executive Assistant
· Senior Recreation leader · Public Safety
Dispatcher II · Senior Engineer
Recruitment Efforts
The City utilizes various methods to recruit employees, including:
· Online recruitment platforms, such as Government Jobs, LinkedIn, and the City’s website; · Trade-specific platforms that are unique to the position and profession; · The Human Resources team participates in various job fairs throughout the year, including fairs hosted by the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce, local colleges (MSJC, CSUSM, CBU), and local high schools;
· Announcements on social media, at City meetings, and other community events; and · Advertisements in City publications, emails, local billboards, and digital displays.

CITY OF MURRIETA
City Council Meeting Agenda
Report
6/16/2026
Agenda Item No. 22.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Cristal McDonald, City Clerk
PREPARED BY: Cristal McDonald, City Clerk
SUBJECT:

Establishing A Virtual Participation Policy Pursuant to Senate Bill 707

ABSTRACT
The State of California Legislature enacted Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), Open Meetings: Meetings and Teleconference Requirements, which revises the Ralph M. Brown Act’s open meeting laws to add requirements impacting two major areas: 1) teleconferencing flexibility; and 2) accessibility requirements.

SB 707 requires all local legislative bodies, including the Murrieta City Council, to provide two-way remote public access to meetings and to adopt formal policies addressing disruptions of telephonic or internet services during City Council meetings. These provisions take effect July 1, 2026, and require City Council adoption.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 26-4951 entitled: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Murrieta, California, Adopting A Virtual Participation City Council Policy Pursuant to Senate Bill No. 707.

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
None.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the City Council’sgoal of maintaining a high performing organization that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency relating to an administrative priority. In 2025, the City Council accepted the City Departments Administrative Priorities, including the City Clerk Department’s procedural legal compliance requirements and engagement and participation.

DISCUSSION
The Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) governs public meetings of legislative bodies and ensures that the public has the right to attend and participate in local government meetings.

Agenda Item No. 22.

On October 3, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 707 into law, which updates the Brown Act by modernizing teleconferencing rules and expanding public access requirements. The law builds on prior legislation that expanded remote meeting options and is intended to make public meetings more accessible while maintaining transparency. SB 707 will take effect on July 1, 2026, and is currently scheduled to remain in effect until January 1, 2030.

Under SB 707, City Council meetings will be required to be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing members of the public to attend in person or remotely via a two-way telephonic or audiovisual platform. This allows residents to watch and participate in meetings online or by phone. The city must also adopt procedures to address technical disruptions to audio, video, or teleconference services, including temporarily recessing a meeting while staff attempts to restore service.

The law also allows City Council Members to participate in meetings remotely in limited circumstances, such as for “justcause,”emergency circumstances, or as a reasonable accommodation for a disability. The reason for remote participation must be publicly disclosed and recorded in the meeting minutes. In addition, before taking final action on compensation for the City Manager, department heads, or other comparable administrative officers, the City Council must first provide a summary of the proposed compensation in open session.

When more than 20% of a city’spopulation speaks English less than “very well”, SB 707 also introduces language access requirements intended to improve accessibility for those residents. In the same circumstance, meeting agendas and key meeting information must be translated and posted on the city’s website, and the city must also reasonably assist members of the public who wish to provide interpretation or translation during meetings. Each translation must also be accessible through a prominent direct link posted on the city’swebsite homepage. The source of the data on the population’sfluency must come from the most recent American Community Survey, also known as the Census. Per the website for the Census, less than 20% of the residents of the City of Murrieta (City) reported speaking English less than “verywell”.As a result, the translation requirements do not apply.

Finally, SB 707 requires the City Council to formally authorize teleconferencing for advisory bodies-such as commissions, committees, and boards-through a resolution or policy. Advisory bodies that choose to meet remotely must maintain real-time communication during meetings and must reauthorize the use of teleconferencing every six months. Adoption of the City’s Virtual Participation and Policy will help ensure compliance with SB 707 while continuing the City’s commitment to transparent and accessible public meetings.

To ensure compliance with SB 707 and maintain clear, consistent procedures for hybrid meetings, the City Attorney prepared a proposed Virtual Participation Policy (Proposed Policy) for the City Council's consideration.

The Proposed Policy establishes procedures governing remote meeting access, public comment procedures, meeting administration, and technology protocols when remote participation is offered.

Mandatory Hybrid Meetings
The policy allows members of the public to attend meetings:
· In-person at the noticed meeting location
· Remotely through the City’s internet-based meeting platform · By telephone using the dial-in information provided on the meeting agenda CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 6/11/2026Page 2 of 4

Agenda Item No. 22.

Public Comment Procedures
Members of the public may address the City Council during public comments for items not on the agenda but within the City Council's jurisdiction, or during consideration of individual agenda items.

In-person speakers will continue to be requested to complete a speaker card prior to addressing the City Council.

Remote speakers will follow teleconference instructions as provided, identifying the specific agenda item or public comments section they wish to address. Participants are encouraged to enter the virtual City Council meeting in advance of the section of the agenda item they wish to address so that staff can prepare the speaker queue.

Speakers on agendized items must identify the specific agenda item number, while speakers wishing to address non-agendized matters will do so during the Public Comments (Non-Agenda) portion of the meeting.

Meeting Administration
The proposed policy designates the City Clerk as responsible for administering the virtual meeting platform used for remote participation. These responsibilities include managing participant access, maintaining the speaker queue, operating meeting technology functions, and assisting the Mayor in facilitating public comment.

Accessibility
When meetings are broadcast or streamed online, the City will make reasonable efforts to use the captioning features available on the meeting platform to assist individuals with hearing impairments.

Technical Disruptions
SB 707 requires legislative bodies to establish procedures addressing potential disruptions to remote participation technology.

The proposed policy includes procedures requiring the meeting to recess if a technological disruption prevents members of the public from observing the meeting or providing remote public comment. The policy provides that the meeting may recess for up to one hour while staff attempts to restore the remote participation service.

If remote access is restored during the recess period, the meeting may reconvene and continue. If the technological disruption cannot be resolved within the recess period, the legislative body may continue the affected agenda item or meeting to a future date in accordance with the Brown Act.

The proposed policy also clarifies that internal technological issues that do not affect the public’sability to observe the meeting or provide remote public comment do not require the meeting to recess.

Public Meeting Information on the City Website
SB 707 requires agencies to maintain publicly accessible information explaining how members of the public may observe and participate in public meetings. The City Clerk will ensure that instructions for participating in meetings, whether in person or remote, remain available on the City’s website.

6/16/2026
Agenda Item No. 22.

If adopted, the proposed policy will become effective July 1, 2026.

PUBLIC NOTICING
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

FISCAL IMPACT
At this time, City staff time and current applications used to administer hybrid meetings will be accommodated within existing resources. However, implementing SB 707 will require expenditures for remote meeting software subscriptions, audiovisual technology, website accessibility enhancements, translation services, and related administrative support.

Any future budgetary impacts associated with technology upgrades or expanded services will be incorporated into future budget requests as necessary.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the City Council goal of maintaining a high performing organization that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency relating to an administrative priority.

This item falls under the authority of Murrieta Municipal Code §1.20, which provides the timing of Murrieta municipal elections for the election of City Council Members and for such other purposes as the City Council prescribes.

BACKGROUND
In accordance with Murrieta Municipal Code (MMC) §1.20, Elections, the general municipal elections for the City of Murrieta (City) shall be held on the first Tuesday, after the first Monday of November in each even- numbered year. Therefore, the City's next General Municipal Election (Election) shall be held on November 3, 2026. Terms for City Council Members are defined as four (4) years, and elected municipal officers shall serve no more than two (2) consecutive terms in office.

In 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 522-17, changing the election systems for City Council Members from at-large to by-District. As a result, the November 6, 2018, General Municipal Election began the first phase of the City's transition to District-based City Council Member elections. This included Districts 1, 2, and 5. The November 3, 2020, General Municipal Election completed the City's transition to District-based City Council Member elections for Districts 3 and 4.

On March 1, 2022, in compliance with the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 572-22, which revised boundaries for all Districts. However, the existing terms for each District representative remained the same. On December 7, 2021, the City Council approved the Murrieta Hills Specific Plan (MHSP) in unincorporated and uninhabited CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 6/11/2026Page 2 of 5

Agenda Item No. 23.
2021, the City Council approved the Murrieta Hills Specific Plan (MHSP) in unincorporated and uninhabited territory north of the City. Subsequently, the Local Agency Formation Commission approved the annexation of the territory bounded by the MHSP into the City. As such, Ordinance No. 594-23 was adopted, incorporating the MHSP into District 1.

The California Elections Code (EC) §14052, known as the California Voter Participation Rights Act, provides that political subdivisions shall not hold an election other than on a statewide election date if holding an election on a nonconcurrent date has previously resulted in a significant decrease in voter turnout. In addition, EC §10400 provides that whenever two or more elections are called to be held on the same day, in the same territory, or in territory that is in part the same, they may be consolidated upon the order of the governing body.

Accordingly, City Council representatives for Districts 1, 2 and 5 will be elected for a term of four (4) years at the November 3, 2026, election.

The County of Riverside Consolidation Process
To commence the consolidation process, the County of Riverside requests that before June 26, 2026, the City must submit to the County of Riverside Board of Supervisors and the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk: 1) a resolution calling and giving notice of the November 3, 2026, Election to elect three City Council Members for Districts 1, 2, and 5; 2) request consolidation with the Statewide General Election; and 3) set regulations pertaining to the candidate statements:
· Resolution No. 26-4952 (Attachment No. 1): A Resolution of The City Council of the City of Murrieta, California, Calling for the Holding of a General Municipal Election to be Held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for the Election of Certain Officers as Required By the Provisions of the Laws of the State of California Relating to General Law Cities; and, Other Election Matters As Required By Law According to EC §12001, the local agency's governing body shall issue a proclamation or resolution calling the election. Adopting Resolution No. 26-4952 meets that obligation. This resolution also provides the procedure to resolve a tie vote. EC §15651 provides that in the event that two (2) or more persons receive an equal amount of votes and the highest number of votes, upon the canvass of returns or recount by the court, the City Council can determine a tie vote by lot; or by conducting a special runoff election involving those candidates who received an equal number of votes and the highest number of votes.

Historically, in the event of a tie vote, the City Council has opted to resolve a tie vote by lot, and this method is included in Resolution No. 26-4952. If the City Council would prefer to hold a special runoff election in the case of tied votes, an alternate resolution and an estimate of cost would be presented for City Council consideration at a later City Council meeting.
· Resolution No. 26-4953 (Attachment No. 2): A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Murrieta, California, Requesting the Board of Supervisors of Riverside County to Consolidate a General Municipal Election to be Held on November 3, 2026, With the Statewide General Election to be Held on the Date Pursuant to §10403 of the California Election Code; and, Other Election Matters as Required by Law.

EC §10403, in part, provides that when an election is called by a city, at least 88-days before the date of the election, the city must file with the Board of Supervisors, and provide a copy with the elections official, a resolution of its governing board that 1) requests that the city election be consolidated with the statewide election; 2) sets forth the exact form of the question, proposition, or office to be voted upon at the election, as it is to appear on the ballot; and 3) acknowledges that the consolidated election will be held and conducted with procedures same as statewide election (EC §10418). The resolution requesting consolidation shall be adopted CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 6/11/2026Page 3 of 5

Agenda Item No. 23.
procedures same as statewide election (EC §10418). The resolution requesting consolidation shall be adopted and filed at the same time as the adoption of the resolution calling the election. Furthermore, the names of candidates to appear on the ballot shall be filed with the county elections official no later than 81-days before the election. Adopting Resolution No. 26-4953 meets all applicable obligations. · Resolution No. 26-4954 (Attachment No. 3): A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Murrieta, California, Adopting Regulations for Candidates for Elective Office, Pertaining to, and Costs of, Candidate Statements Submitted to the Voters at the Consolidated General Municipal Election to be Held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, to include candidate statements not exceeding 200 words OR 400 words and requiring candidates pay for the costs associated with candidate statements.

The final resolution associated with the consolidation process pertains to regulations and costs associated with candidate statements. According to EC §13307, each candidate for elective office may prepare a candidate statement. The statement may include the name, age, and occupation of the candidate and a brief description, of no more than 200 words, of the candidate's education and qualifications expressed by the candidate themself. However, the local agency's governing body may authorize an increase in the limitations on words for the statement from 200 to 400 words.

It is optional for each candidate to submit a candidate statement. However, if the candidate chooses to have a statement included in the sample ballot, Resolution No. 26-4954 stipulates that the candidate pays the costs involved in the form of a deposit when the nomination papers are filed. The County of Riverside will provide final costs following the Election; however, based on County estimates, the deposit for printing each statement will be approximately $600 for 200 words or $800 for 400 words. In addition, the County of Riverside has provided an option for a distribution of an electronic statement only, which will not be included in the Voter Guide, for the cost of $260. The electronic statement will be distributed to voters who have opted to share their email information with the County of Riverside at the time of registration.

The City Clerk is seeking direction on word count. Therefore, Resolution No. 26-4954 presents Option A or Option B. The only difference between the two options is the word count.

With consolidation, the County of Riverside administers the Election, and the City Clerk is the City's Local Elections Official. As the Local Elections Official, the City Clerk retains certain obligations. Those obligations include, but are not limited to, public noticing, issuing and accepting nomination papers, candidate statement verification, and handling of Fair Political Practice Commission (FPPC) filings.

Nomination Period
Division 10, Part 2, Article 2. Nomination of Candidates, of the California EC provides the nomination and nomination filing method. Based on EC §§10220 and 10224, the nomination period for the Election opens on Monday, July 13, 2026, 8 AM and closes on Friday, August 7, 2026, 5 PM. All potential candidates will pull and file nomination papers with the City’slocal Elections Official/City Clerk during normal office hours, Monday through Friday, 8 AM -5 PM.

If an incumbent does not file, pursuant to EC §10225, the period for the district the incumbent did not file for is extended to Wednesday, August 12, 2026, 5 PM. Incumbents may not file during this extended period. The issuance and filing of nomination papers can be complex. To ensure clear instructions, the City Clerk will provide potential candidates with a 45-60-minute overview of the process during the nomination period. To better assist, the City Clerk will also provide an electronic candidate handbook. This overview will include issuing nomination papers, qualifying as a candidate, FPPC filings, candidate statements, and ballot designation regulations, etc. Therefore, the City Clerk will see potential candidates seeking to pull nomination papers by appointment.

Agenda Item No. 23.

Election Outreach and Education
As the City's Local Elections Official, the City Clerk is responsible for ensuring the Election process is conducted in a neutral, impartial, and transparent manner. The City Clerk does not advocate for or against any candidate or elected official. Election-related outreach, communications, and public assistance efforts are conducted solely to provide factual information, promote awareness, and assist candidates and residents in understanding election requirements and processes.

As part of Election outreach, the City Clerk will hold informational sessions to provide individuals with information on the nomination process, important dates, and general civic engagement. The City Clerk’s Election webpage will be updated periodically as part of general outreach, providing resources and dates for those interested. In addition, the City Clerk will conduct a social media campaign and various social media outlets, targeting, when feasible, residents in Districts 1, 2 and 5.

To encourage voter participation, the City Clerk held a pilot courtesy drive-through ballot drop-off for the June 2026 Primary Election. Due to the pilot's success, the City Clerk Department intends to coordinate an additional courtesy ballot drop-off for the November 2026 Election.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City Clerk's Office has a $130,000 budget for Election services in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Operating Budget, under account number 1102400-63520. The County of Riverside estimates the Election costs for the three districts at $145,000. After receiving the County of Riverside's final invoice in 2027 and true-up all costs associated with the election services, the City Clerk will return to the City Council with a budget increase or request the Finance Department to include it in one of the quarterly budget update reports during Fiscal Year 2026/27.

While not effective for the November 2026 Election, the Riverside Registrar of Voters conducted a comprehensive cost recovery and fee schedule. The previous study was conducted over 20 years ago; the Registrar of Voters will be seeking the Board of Supervisors’approval and implementation in 2028. The costs are expected to increase substantially, and the City Clerk will request budget adjustments as needed in subsequent fiscal years.
