Rollers shall be equipped with pads and water systems that prevent sticking of asphalt mixtures to the pneumatic-tired or steel tired wheels. A parting agent that will not damage the asphalt mixture may be used.

Unless lower temperatures are directed by the Engineer, all mixtures shall be spread at a temperature of 270°F minimum and 300°F maximum. No asphalt concrete is to be placed when the atmospheric temperature is below 50 °F. Initial rolling shall be performed immediately after placement. The first coverage of initial compaction shall be performed when temperature of the mixture is not less than 250°F and the final compaction shall be completed before the temperature of the mixture drops below 200°F. The initial compaction shall be followed by additional rolling.

Rolling shall be performed so that cracking, shaving, or displacement shall be avoided. The completed surface shall be thoroughly compacted smooth, and free from ruts, depressions, or irregularities. Any ridges, indentations, or other objectionable marks left in the surface of the asphalt concrete shall be eliminated by rolling or other means as determined by the Engineer.

City of Newark, California FY2026 Annual AC Street Overlay Program, Project No.CIPA10005.FY2026 Asphalt concrete shall be compacted to an average relative density of 94% of the maximum theoretical density (ASTM D- 2041) prior to the mat cooling below 250°F. Tests will be run at random locations immediately following compaction and prior to finish rolling. The results will be immediately available to the Contractor. No single test shall be less than 92%. Compaction of the mix will be determined by use of a nuclear density gauge.

The maximum theoretical density will be determined from the approved asphalt concrete submittal or from a pre-qualified sample of the asphalt concrete proposed for use by the Contractor in conformance with these Specifications.

Any area which has an individual test result less than 92% of maximum theoretical density shall be reworked while the mat is above 250°F until the area is compacted to a density of 94% of maximum theoretical density.

If the test results for a quantity of asphalt concrete indicate that the relative compaction is below 94%, the Contractor will be notified. Asphalt concrete spreading operations shall not continue until the Contractor has notified the City of the adjustment that will be made in order to meet the specified relative compaction.

If the test results for a quantity of asphalt concrete indicate that the relative compaction is less than 94%, the asphalt concrete represented by that quantity shall be removed, except as otherwise provided in these Special Provisions. If requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer, asphalt concrete with a relative compaction less than 94% but greater than or equal to 91% may remain in place with a remedy. In addition, the Contractor shall pay to the City the amount of reduced compensation for the quantity of asphalt concrete with relative compaction less than 94% and greater than or equal to 91%. The City will deduct the amount of reduced compensation from moneys due, or that may become due to the Contractor under the contract. Remedy for low compaction (91% or greater) is an application of a surface seal including slurry seal, microsurfacing, or other treatments approved by the City.

The amount of reduced compensation the Contractor shall pay to the City will be calculated as the total tons of asphalt concrete with relative compaction less than 94% and greater than or equal to 91% multiplied by the contract price per ton for asphalt concrete, and multiplied by the following compensation factors:

The bermed area shall be of adequate size to collect all waste water and solids. The Contractor shall allow collected water to evaporate if the waste water volume is minimal and if maintaining the ponding area does not interfere with public use of the street area or create a safety hazard. If approved by the Engineer, the Contractor may direct or pump saw-cutting waste water to a dirt area and allow to infiltrate. The dirt area shall be adequate to contain all the waste water. After waste water has infiltrated, all remaining sawcutting residue must be removed and disposed of properly. With the approval of Union Sanitary District (USD) and the Engineer, de-silted water may be pumped to the sanitary sewer to assist in the evaporation or infiltration process. Remaining silt and debris from the ponding or bermed area shall be removed or vacuumed and disposed of properly. If a suitable dirt area is not available or discharge to the sanitary sewer is not feasible, with the approval of the Engineer, the Contractor shall filter the saw-cutting waste water through filtering materials and methods meeting ABAG Standards For Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures (latest edition) before discharging to the storm drain.

PAVEMENT OPERATIONS
The Contractor shall prevent the discharge of pollutants from paving operations by using measures to prevent run-on and runoff pollution, properly disposing of wastes, and by implementing the following Best Management Practices:
• No paving during wet weather
• Store materials as required under “Material Storage”. • Cover inlets and manholes when applying asphalt, seal coat, tack coat, slurry seal, fog seal, etc.
• Place drip pans or absorbent materials under paving equipment when not in use. During wet weather store contaminated paving equipment indoors or cover with tarp or other waterproof covering.
• Sweep site daily to prevent sand, gravel or excess asphalt from entering or being transported by rain into the storm drain system.
• Keep ample supplies of drip pans or absorbent materials on-site.

• Store all materials in waterproof containers or under cover away from drain inlets or drainage areas.
• Avoid mixing excess amounts of Portland cement materials.

City of Newark, California FY2026 Annual AC Street Overlay Program, Project No.CIPA10005.FY2026 • Do not wash out concrete trucks into storm drains, open ditches, streets, streams etc.

Whenever possible, perform washout of concrete trucks off site where discharge is controlled and not permitted to discharge to the storm drain system. For on-site washout:
- Locate washout area at least 50 feet from storm drains, open ditches or other water bodies, preferably in a dirt area. Do not allow runoff from this area by constructing a temporary pit or bermed area large enough for the liquid and solid waste. - Wash out concrete wastes into the temporary pit where the concrete can set, be broken up and then disposed of properly. If the volume of water is greater than what will allow concrete to set, allow the wash water to infiltrate and/or evaporate, if possible.

Otherwise, allow water to settle, filter it, and then pump to the sanitary sewer with approval from USD and the Engineer. Remove or vacuum the remaining silt and debris from the ponding or bermed area and dispose of it properly. • Dispose of waste water from washing of exposed aggregate to dirt area. The dirt area shall be adequate to contain all the waste water, and once the waste water has infiltrated, any remaining residue must be removed. If a suitable dirt area is not available, then the Contractor shall filter the wash water through straw bales or other filtering materials meeting ABAG Standards For Erosion And Sediment Control Measures before discharging to the sanitary sewer with approval from USD and the Engineer. • Collect and return sweepings from exposed aggregate concrete to a stockpile or dispose of • the waste in trash container.

GRADING AND EXCAVATION OPERATIONS
The Contractor shall implement sedimentation and erosion control measures to prevent sediments or excavated material from entering the storm drain system.

The erosion and sedimentation control materials and methods shall be in accordance with ABAG Standards For Erosion And Sediment Control Measures and/or the procedures and methods described in the California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbook Construction Activity (latest edition).

As a minimum, the Contractor shall install filter materials (such as sandbags, filter fabric, etc.) at the storm drain inlet(s) located in and downstream of the project site between October 1 through April 15 and when rain is forecast within 24 hours. The Contractor shall install filter materials or seal all surface inlet openings during the dry season if there is potential for sediment or excavated material to be discharged to the storm drain system during the construction operation (e.g., sediments and debris tracked by construction vehicles, wind-blown or transported by other runoff).

The storm drain inlets shall be sealed in such a manner that they can be opened in an emergency and unblocked at the end of each working day so that no property is damaged as a result of accidents or other overflows.

Sedimentation and erosion control/filter materials shall be placed in a manner that will retain any debris or sediment from flowing into the storm drain system. Said materials or control devices

City of Newark, California FY2026 Annual AC Street Overlay Program, Project No.CIPA10005.FY2026 shall also be maintained and/or replaced as necessary to ensure effective sediment control and prevent flooding.

SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTROL
The Contractor shall take any and all precautions to prevent accidental spills during the work under this contract. However, in the event of a spill:

BACKGROUND
The subject site is located within NewPark Mall and is zoned RC: Regional Commercial, with a NewPark Place Specific Plan Overlay District. The General Plan land use designation is Regional Commercial. The Project site is bounded by Mowry Avenue, Cedar Boulevard, Balentine Drive, and Interstate 880 (Nimitz Freeway). The parking lots at NewPark Mall have accommodated a variety of temporary outdoor special events throughout the years, including carnivals, food festivals, promotional events, and other community-oriented activities. The Applicant obtained Community Development Director approval of a Minor Use Permit for similar events on August 5, 2024 (MUP2024-010), October 28, 2024 (MUP2024-017), and March 10, 2025 (MUP2025-001)
Project Description
The Project involves a temporary short-term event (Adventure Van Show and Sale) in the northwest parking lot in front of the vacant Sears Building at NewPark Mall, located at 1100 Newpark Mall.

The Adventure Van Show and Sale would feature the show and sale of adventure vehicles and small motorhomes. The proposed updated event weekends, including setup and clean-up days, would be as follows:

Event Setup

October 7-8, 2026 October 9-11, 2026 October 12-13, 2026 The Community Development Director approved the Project on April 23, 2026, to operate on three weekends in May 2026, June 2026, and October 2026, as detailed in the Notice of Action (Attachment 1). Since the public hearing could not be scheduled prior to the originally approved May 2026 event dates due to legally required noticing dates, the Applicant has requested that the previously approved event dates be replaced with the proposed August 2026 dates identified above. The Applicant has also agreed to a condition requiring that Newark be designated, in the Applicant’s reports to the CDTFA, as the point of sale for all RV sale transactions resulting from this permit, to the extent required and permitted by law.

The event hours will be from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for all event dates. The event area will include approximately 80 to 100 new and used adventure vehicles, four sanitation facilities, two handwash stations, and a generator. The parked adventure vehicles and small motorhomes will be used to delineate the event perimeter and create a physical barricade.

The total expected attendance is approximately 1,000 people over each 3-day period.

The applicant will have a team of 15 staff members in attendance during the event, and one unarmed security patrol will monitor the event area overnight.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Regional Commercial General Plan designation is intended to support the City’s largest and most complete shopping facilities, accommodating a wide variety of goods and services such as department stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, and similar uses, drawing patrons from throughout Newark and the surrounding communities. This designation is implemented through the RC: Regional Commercial zoning district and is further guided by the NewPark Place Specific Plan, which envisions the transformation of NewPark Mall into a vibrant, mixed-use regional destination that offers a range of retail, dining, and entertainment options.

Under NMC §17.26.260 - Temporary Uses, a temporary short-term special event that does not exceed three consecutive days in a non-residential district requires the approval of a Minor Use Permit. The Project was reviewed under NMC Title 17 (Zoning) and is generally in compliance with the applicable standards. The outdoor display and sales area will be on a paved surface, and the location of adventure vehicles and small motorhomes would not disrupt the normal circulation of the site, encroach upon driveways, pedestrian walkways, or landscape areas, nor obstruct sight distances or otherwise create hazards for vehicle or pedestrian traffic. Regarding the requirement that outdoor sales be associated with an existing on-site business, the NewPark Place Specific Plan prioritizes the use of publicly accessible space for events that generate activity at the mall. The proposed use would be consistent with this provision in the specific plan.

Overall, the Project would generally comply with the applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and NewPark Place Specific Plan in that the Project would be compatible with the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood and area and would not unreasonably affect adjacent properties, their owners and occupants, or the surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, the Project would not adversely impact the adjacent businesses inside the mall.

The Project is expected to generate minimal vehicle traffic and noise impacts. A 2021 Parking Sub-Master Plan study conducted as part of the NewPark Place Specific Plan found that NewPark Mall provides a total of 7,499 existing parking spaces. Based on the Specific Plan’s parking requirements, approximately 5,607 spaces are needed to accommodate the existing land uses, leaving a surplus of 1,892 parking stalls. Of the surplus parking stalls, the proposed event would utilize approximately 312 stalls to operate. The Applicant has also provided an event map and traffic management plan.

The traffic plan includes a vehicle and pedestrian access pathway that directs visitors to the parking areas and the proposed event area to ensure efficient traffic flow. Given the mall’s excess parking supply and the proposed traffic management measures, the Project would not result in significant impacts on the mall’s parking capacity or circulation.

The Project is consistent with the broader goals of the General Plan and the NewPark Place Specific Plan, which envisions the revitalization of underutilized commercial spaces and encourages a diverse mix of retail, entertainment, and community-oriented uses. In recent years, NewPark Mall has experienced high vacancy rates, resulting in a decline in its role as an essential part of Newark’s economy. The proposed event would offer a unique product that may draw families and visitors to NewPark Mall, generating additional foot traffic to support surrounding retailers and potentially invigorating the area as a whole.

Based on staff’s analysis, the Project satisfies all required findings for a Temporary Use and a Minor Use Permit under NMC §17.26.260(B)(3) and NMC §17.35.060, including consistency with applicable land use designations, compatibility with surrounding uses, and no significant adverse impacts on public health, safety, or welfare. The findings are provided in Attachment 1 of this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, §15301 (Existing Facilities) and CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, §15304 (Minor Alterations to Land), the Project qualifies for the Class 1 and Class 4 Categorical Exemptions. The Project consists of a temporary event within an existing developed parking lot involving negligible expansion of existing use and minor temporary alterations to the site with no permanent environmental effects.

The site is fully served by existing public facilities, is not located in an environmentally sensitive area, and the Project would not involve the removal of healthy, mature, or scenic trees. Therefore, additional environmental review is not required.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed temporary event is not anticipated to create a material fiscal impact to The proposed temporary event is not anticipated to create a material fiscal impact to the City. Operational impacts are expected to be temporary and manageable within existing service levels and permit conditions.

To the extent additional City staffing, inspections, or public safety services are required, such costs may be recovered through applicable permit fees or direct reimbursement requirements consistent with City policy.

While the event is not expected to generate material direct tax revenue, it may provide indirect economic activity benefits to surrounding businesses within the NewPark Mall area.

MUP2026-004: 1100 Newpark Mall
City of Newark – Community Development Department – Planning 4 / 11 EXHIBIT A – FINDINGS
Temporary Use Findings (NMC §17.26.260(B)(3))
A. The proposed use will not unreasonably affect adjacent properties, their owners and occupants, or the surrounding neighborhood, and will not in any other way constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area of such use or to the general welfare of the city.

The Adventure Van Show and Sale event would be located in the northwest parking lot in front of the vacant Sears Building at NewPark Mall. The proposed event would feature the show and sale of adventure vehicles and small motorhomes. The proposed event area would include approximately 80 to 100 new and used adventure vehicles, 4 sanitation facilities, 2 handwash stations, and a generator. The parked adventure vehicles and small motorhomes would be used to delineate the perimeter of the event and to create a physical barricade.

The proposed event will be for three weekends: May 8-10, 2026, June 19-21, 2026, and October 9-11, 2026. The event hours would be from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for all event dates. The preparation of each event weekend would be two days prior, and clean-up would be two days after each event weekend.

The total occupancy would be up to 1,000 people total over each 3-day period, and up to 15-20 people at any one time. The applicant would have a team of 15 staff during the event and 1 unarmed security patrol monitoring the event set-up overnight. No alcohol will be sold or allowed at the proposed event.

The proposed event would be in compliance with the standards listed in NMC §17.26.260(B)(1)(c). The outdoor display and sales area will be on a paved surface, and the location of adventure vehicles and small motorhomes would not disrupt the normal circulation of the site, encroach upon driveways, pedestrian walkways, or landscape areas, nor obstruct sight distances or otherwise create hazards for vehicle or pedestrian traffic. In regard to a requirement that outdoor sales be part of an existing business, this standard is in conflict with the newest version of the NewPark Place Specific Plan, which prioritizes public space for events that generates activity help bolster the mall. The NewPark Mall property is currently underutilized and has sufficient space for the event and the patrons of any existing businesses. The proposed temporary use is also consistent with the zoning of the property, RC – Regional Commercial, where uses such as ‘general retail’ and ‘automobile sales and services’ are permitted pursuant to NMC §17.08.020. Further, the event offers a unique product that may attract visitors to NewPark Mall and the businesses nearby, potentially invigorating the overall area as a result.

The proposed event would not unreasonably affect adjacent properties, their owners and occupants, or the surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, the proposed event, as conditioned, would not constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area of such proposed event or to the general welfare of the City. This finding can be made in the affirmative.

B. The proposed use will not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic or circulation in the area surrounding the proposed use, and will not create a demand for additional parking that cannot be safely and efficiently accommodated by existing parking areas.

Since the nearby Sears building is currently vacant, the parking areas in front of the building are typically underutilized. Therefore, NewPark Mall currently has a sufficient amount of parking spaces. The applicant has provided an event map and parking plan. The parking plan shows the area where attendees would park.

MUP2026-004: 1100 Newpark Mall
City of Newark – Community Development Department – Planning 5 / 11 The proposed event would not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic or circulation in the area surrounding the proposed event and would not create a demand for additional parking that cannot be safely and efficiently accommodated by existing parking areas. This finding can be made in the affirmative.

Minor Use Permit Findings (NMC §17.35.60)
A. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of Title 17 and all other titles of the Municipal Code.

The project site is zoned RC: Regional Commercial with a NewPark Place Specific Plan Overlay District. The RC zoning district is intended to support the large-scale shopping facilities that includes a broad array of goods and services, including department stores, retail shops, restaurants, entertainment facilities, and similar uses which draw patrons from throughout Newark and the surrounding region. The proposed event is allowed as a temporary use in the RC zoning district, pursuant to NMC §17.08.020. The proposed event is also consistent with the intended uses within the RC zoning district which includes automobile sales and services.

The proposed use would be in general compliance with the applicable provisions of Title 17 – Zoning. The proposed event will be in compliance with the standards listed in NMC §17.26.260(B)(1)(c), with the exception of the existing business requirement. Although the event is in general compliance with the standards, the proposed site is a suitable location for this event. The NewPark Mall property is currently underutilized and has sufficient space for the event. The proposed temporary use is also consistent with the zoning of the property, RC – Regional Commercial, where uses such as ‘general retail’ and ‘automobile sales and services’ are permitted pursuant to NMC §17.08.020. Further, the event offers a unique product that may attract visitors to NewPark Mall and the businesses nearby. As noted in Exhibit B of this NOA, the proposed use is subject to conditions. This finding can be made in the affirmative.

B. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan.

The project site has a General Plan designation of Regional Commercial. This designation supports the largest and most complete shopping facilities in the city. The emphasis is on a broad array of goods and services, including department stores, retail shops, restaurants, entertainment facilities, and similar uses which draw patrons from throughout Newark and the surrounding region. This designation is applied to NewPark Mall and some of the commercial areas on the Mall’s perimeter. Additionally, the project site is part of the NewPark Place Specific Plan.

The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan because the use is consistent with the Regional Commercial designation, and it would not alter the respective land-use designation. The proposed temporary use is consistent with the vision and goals of the NewPark Place Specific Plan by providing activities that attract customers to the area and thus reinvigorating the mall area. This finding can be made in the affirmative.

C. The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements.

The proposed event would be for three weekends: May 8-10, 2026, June 19-21, 2026, and October 9-11, 2026.

The event hours would be from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for all event dates. The preparation of each event weekend would be two days prior, and clean-up would be two days after each event weekend.

MUP2026-004: 1100 Newpark Mall
City of Newark – Community Development Department – Planning 6 / 11 The total occupancy would be up to 1,000 people total over each event weekend, and up to 15-20 people at any one time. The applicant would have a team of 15 staff during the event and 1 unarmed security patrol monitoring the event area overnight. No alcohol would be sold or allowed at the proposed event.

As described above, the proposed event will be in general compliance with the standards listed in NMC §17.26.260(B)(1)(c). Additionally, the proposed event, as conditioned, would not constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area of such proposed event or to the general welfare of the City. This finding can be made in the affirmative.

D. Tax revenue generated by the development will exceed the city's cost of the service demand as a result of the development or a compelling community benefit will be provided.

The proposed use would not materially impact the City’s tax revenue, nor is it expected to strain City services. This finding can be made in the affirmative.

E. The proposed use complies with any design or development standards applicable to the zoning district or the use in question unless waived or modified pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Code.

The proposed use would be an allowed use with the approval of a Minor Use Permit under the RC Zoning District.

The proposed use is temporary, and any design or development standards are not applicable. This finding can be made in the affirmative.

F. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity.

The proposed temporary use would not interfere with operations/businesses in this zone. The event would be held near the former Sears building, therefore its use of the parking area would not impact other adjacent businesses. Additionally, as an allowed use with the approval of a Minor Use Permit, the proposed use does not deviate from the zoning district’s requirements. The proposed use is temporary, therefore the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity. This finding can be made in the affirmative.

G. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.

Since the nearby Sears building is currently vacant, the parking areas in front of the building are typically underutilized. Therefore, NewPark Mall currently has a sufficient amount of parking spaces. The applicant has provided an event map and traffic plan. The traffic plan includes a vehicle and pedestrian access pathway that would direct visitors to the parking areas and to the proposed event area to ensure efficient traffic flow. The proposed event would not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic or circulation in the area surrounding the proposed event and would not create a demand for additional parking that cannot be safely and efficiently accommodated by existing parking areas. The site is physically suitable for the proposed temporary use.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

FINDINGS OF FACT
MUP2026-004
1100 Newpark Mall
Alameda County Assessor’s Parcel Number 901-111-19
Temporary Use Findings ( NMC §17.26.260(B)(3) )
A. The proposed use will not unreasonably affect adjacent properties, their owners and occupants, or the surrounding neighborhood, and will not in any other way constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area of such use or to the general welfare of the city.

The Adventure Van Show and Sale event would be located in the northwest parking lot in front of the vacant Sears Building at NewPark Mall. The proposed event would feature the show and sale of adventure vehicles and small motorhomes. The proposed event area would include approximately 80 to 100 new and used adventure vehicles, 4 sanitation facilities, 2 handwash stations, and a generator. The parked adventure vehicles and small motorhomes would be used to delineate the perimeter of the event and to create a physical barricade.

The proposed event will be for three weekends: June 19-21, 2026, August 7-9, 2026, and October 9-11, 2026. The event hours would be from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for all event dates.

The preparation of each event weekend would be two days prior, and clean-up would be two days after each event weekend.

The total occupancy would be up to 1,000 people total over each 3-day period, and up to 15- 20 people at any one time. The applicant would have a team of 15 staff during the event and 1 unarmed security patrol monitoring the event set-up overnight. No alcohol will be sold or allowed at the proposed event.

The proposed event would be in compliance with the standards listed in NMC §17.26.260(B) (1)(c). The outdoor display and sales area will be on a paved surface, and the location of adventure vehicles and small motorhomes would not disrupt the normal circulation of the site, encroach upon driveways, pedestrian walkways, or landscape areas, nor obstruct sight distances or otherwise create hazards for vehicle or pedestrian traffic. In regard to a requirement that outdoor sales be part of an existing business, this standard is in conflict with the newest version of the NewPark Place Specific Plan, which prioritizes public space for events that generates activity help bolster the mall. The NewPark Mall property is currently underutilized and has sufficient space for the event and the patrons of any existing businesses.

The proposed temporary use is also consistent with the zoning of the property, RC – Regional Commercial, where uses such as ‘general retail’ and ‘automobile sales and services’ are permitted pursuant to NMC §17.08.020. Further, the event offers a unique product that may attract visitors to NewPark Mall and the businesses nearby, potentially invigorating the overall area as a result.

Exhibit A: Findings of Fact
Resolution No. 5 of 12
The proposed event would not unreasonably affect adjacent properties, their owners and occupants, or the surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, the proposed event, as conditioned, would not constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area of such proposed event or to the general welfare of the City.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

B. The proposed use will not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic or circulation in the area surrounding the proposed use, and will not create a demand for additional parking that cannot be safely and efficiently accommodated by existing parking areas.

Since the nearby Sears building is currently vacant, the parking areas in front of the building are typically underutilized. Therefore, NewPark Mall currently has a sufficient amount of parking spaces. The applicant has provided an event map and parking plan. The parking plan shows the area where attendees would park.

The proposed event would not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic or circulation in the area surrounding the proposed event and would not create a demand for additional parking that cannot be safely and efficiently accommodated by existing parking areas.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

Minor Use Permit Findings ( NMC §17.35.060 )
A. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this title [NMC Title 17] and all other titles of the Municipal Code.

The project site is zoned RC: Regional Commercial with a NewPark Place Specific Plan Overlay District. The RC zoning district is intended to support the large-scale shopping facilities that includes a broad array of goods and services, including department stores, retail shops, restaurants, entertainment facilities, and similar uses which draw patrons from throughout Newark and the surrounding region. The proposed event is allowed as a temporary use in the RC zoning district, pursuant to NMC §17.08.020. The proposed event is also consistent with the intended uses within the RC zoning district which includes automobile sales and services.

The proposed use would be in general compliance with the applicable provisions of Title 17 – Zoning. The proposed event will be in compliance with the standards listed in NMC §17.26.260(B)(1)(c), with the exception of the existing business requirement. Although the event is in general compliance with the standards, the proposed site is a suitable location for this event. The NewPark Mall property is currently underutilized and has sufficient space for the event. The proposed temporary use is also consistent with the zoning of the property, RC – Regional Commercial, where uses such as ‘general retail’ and ‘automobile sales and services’ are permitted pursuant to NMC §17.08.020. Further, the event offers a unique product that may attract visitors to NewPark Mall and the businesses nearby. As noted in Exhibit B of this Exhibit A: Findings of Fact
Resolution No. 6 of 12
Resolution, the proposed use is subject to conditions.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

B. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan.

The project site has a General Plan designation of Regional Commercial. This designation supports the largest and most complete shopping facilities in the city. The emphasis is on a broad array of goods and services, including department stores, retail shops, restaurants, entertainment facilities, and similar uses which draw patrons from throughout Newark and the surrounding region. This designation is applied to NewPark Mall and some of the commercial areas on the Mall’s perimeter. Additionally, the project site is part of the NewPark Place Specific Plan.

The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan because the use is consistent with the Regional Commercial designation, and it would not alter the respective land-use designation.

The Project will be consistent with all applicable General Plan policies, including, but not limited to:
 Policy LU-4.4 – Greater NewPark Area. Modernize the Greater NewPark Area to create a vibrant regional retail location which provides urban amenities and gathering places. A mixture of higher density housing, office, hotel, entertainment, civic, and other uses should be encouraged, to the extent that these uses enhance regional retail as the primary use and assist in the area’s revitalization.  Policy LU-9.1 – Greater New Park Area Land Use Mix. Diversify the mix of uses in the NewPark Mall vicinity to sustain and expand its role as the premiere shopping and entertainment destination in Southern Alameda County.

The proposed temporary use is also consistent with the vision and goals of the NewPark Place Specific Plan by providing activities that attract customers to the area and thus reinvigorating the mall area. The Project site is consistent with applicable policies in the NewPark Place Specific Plan, including:
 Policy LU-19 – The Retail Sub Plan can consider interim uses with limited lease terms including tenant types, and estimated dates of retail space delivery and tenant openings.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

C. The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements.

The proposed event would be for three weekends: June 19-21, 2026, August 7-9, 2026, and October 9-11, 2026. The event hours would be from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for all event dates.

The preparation of each event weekend would be two days prior, and clean-up would be two Exhibit A: Findings of Fact
Resolution No. 7 of 12
days after each event weekend.

The total occupancy would be up to 1,000 people total over each event weekend, and up to 15- 20 people at any one time. The applicant would have a team of 15 staff during the event and 1 unarmed security patrol monitoring the event area overnight. No alcohol would be sold or allowed at the proposed event.

As described above, the proposed event will be in general compliance with the standards listed in NMC §17.26.260(B)(1)(c). Additionally, the proposed event, as conditioned, would not constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area of such proposed event or to the general welfare of the City.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

D. Tax revenue generated by the development will exceed the City's cost of the service demand as a result of the development or a compelling community benefit will be provided.

The proposed use will not materially impact the City’s tax revenue, nor will it strain City services.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

E. The proposed use complies with any design or development standards applicable to the zoning district or the use in question unless waived or modified pursuant to the provisions of this title [NMC Title 17].

The proposed use would be an allowed use with the approval of a Minor Use Permit under the RC Zoning District. The proposed use is temporary, and any design or development standards are not applicable.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

F. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity.

The proposed temporary use would not interfere with operations/businesses in this zone. The event would be held near the former Sears building, therefore its use of the parking area would not impact other adjacent businesses. Additionally, as an allowed use with the approval of a Minor Use Permit, the proposed use does not deviate from the zoning district’s requirements. The proposed use is temporary, therefore the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with the existing and foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

Exhibit A: Findings of Fact
Resolution No. 8 of 12
G. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.

Since the nearby Sears building is currently vacant, the parking areas in front of the building are typically underutilized. Therefore, NewPark Mall currently has a sufficient amount of parking spaces. A 2021 Parking Sub-Master Plan study conducted as part of the NewPark Place Specific Plan found that NewPark Mall provides a total of 7,499 existing parking spaces.

Based on the specific plan’s parking requirements, approximately 5,607 spaces are needed to accommodate the existing land uses, leaving a surplus of 1,892 parking stalls. The NewPark Mall currently has a sufficient number of parking spaces.

The applicant has provided an event map and traffic plan. The traffic plan includes a vehicle and pedestrian access pathway that would direct visitors to the parking areas and to the proposed event area to ensure efficient traffic flow. Based on this analysis, the proposed event would not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic or circulation in the area surrounding the proposed event and would not create a demand for additional parking that cannot be safely and efficiently accommodated by existing parking areas. The site is physically suitable for the proposed temporary use.

This finding can be made in the affirmative.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Categorical Exemption Findings Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, §15301 (Existing Facilities) and CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, §15304 (Minor Alterations to Land), the Project qualifies for the Class 1 and Class 4 Categorical Exemptions. The Project consists of a temporary event within an existing developed parking lot involving negligible expansion of existing use and minor temporary alterations to the site with no permanent environmental effects. The site is fully served by existing public facilities, is not located in an environmentally sensitive area, and the Project would not involve the removal of healthy, mature, or scenic trees. Therefore, additional environmental review is not required.

DATE 05/28/2026
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM David Benoun, City Manager
SUBJECT    Presentation by Godbe Research regarding results of the November 2026 Revenue Measure Feasibility Survey related to potential Business License Tax simplification and modernization SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
At the Newark City Council meeting held on April 9, 2026, the Newark City Council received a report from HdL Companies (hereinafter “HdL”), the city’s tax consultant.

The report from HdL provided an overview of the City’s Business License Tax (hereinafter “BLT”), which was enacted in 1970 and has not undergone a comprehensive update in more than five decades, and provided various options for modernizing and simplifying the BLT.  At the conclusion of the presentation, the Council directed staff to continue evaluating potential modernization and simplification of the BLT structure, including community outreach, stakeholder engagement, revenue modeling refinement, and voter feasibility analysis related to a potential November 2026 ballot measure.

Consistent with that direction, the City retained Godbe Research, an independent public opinion research firm, to conduct a revenue measure feasibility survey evaluating voter priorities, perceptions regarding City services and infrastructure needs, and potential support for a locally controlled BLT simplification and modernization measure.

Godbe Research conducted voter data collection from April 27 through May 4, 2026, utilizing a combination of online, text-to-web, cellular telephone, and landline methodologies.

At the City Council meeting, Bryan Godbe of Godbe Research will present an overview of the survey findings, including voter priorities, fiscal concerns, and preliminary voter support levels associated with a potential BLT simplification and modernization measure for the November 3, 2026, election.

Meanwhile, city staff will continue with community stakeholder and business outreach efforts, which staff intends on presenting to the Council at the regular City Council meeting scheduled for June 26.

BACKGROUND
On April 9, 2026, HdL presented a report to the City Council regarding Newark’s existing BLT structure and potential simplification and modernization options. The report summarized findings from the City’s BLT analysis and included potential next steps, including stakeholder outreach, ordinance development, public education, and voter feasibility analysis related to a potential November 2026 ballot measure.

Newark’s existing BLT ordinance was originally adopted in 1970 and has not undergone comprehensive structural modernization in more than five decades. During that period, Newark’s economy has evolved significantly, including increased logistics and distribution activity, growth in professional services, and expansion of regional-serving commercial businesses.

Analysis conducted by HdL identified approximately 3,103 licensed businesses reporting an estimated $5.12 billion in taxable gross receipts, while the City currently generates approximately $1.47 million annually in BLT revenue. The analysis further indicated that the largest businesses account for a substantial share of reported gross receipts but contribute a comparatively smaller share of total BLT revenue under the City’s existing structure.

Regional comparisons also indicate that Newark generates lower BLT revenue per resident and per business than several comparable jurisdictions that have modernized their BLT structures.

To further evaluate community priorities and voter perspectives regarding potential BLT simplification and modernization, the City retained Godbe Research to conduct an independent revenue measure feasibility survey.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Godbe Research conducted the November 2026 Revenue Measure Feasibility Survey between April 27 and May 4, 2026. The survey evaluated voter priorities, perceptions regarding City services and infrastructure needs, and potential support levels associated with a prospective locally controlled BLT simplification and modernization measure.

Survey outreach included online interviews, text-to-web outreach, cellular telephone interviews, and landline telephone interviews.

The survey evaluated voter perspectives regarding maintaining essential City services, infrastructure and street maintenance needs, public safety and emergency response services, parks and recreational facility maintenance, business tax modernization concepts, and potential revenue measure frameworks.

At the City Council meeting, Godbe Research will present detailed survey findings, including voter priorities and concerns, overall support and opposition levels, demographic and geographic trends, messaging and ballot language testing, fiscal issue sensitivity analysis, and strategic considerations related to a potential November 2026 ballot measure.

In general, the survey found that voters place a high priority on maintaining core City services and infrastructure, including repairing potholes, streets, and sidewalks; maintaining neighborhood police patrols and fire protection; preserving 9-1-1 emergency medical response capabilities; and maintaining clean and accessible parks and recreational facilities.

The survey additionally evaluated voter response to a proposed update of Newark’s existing BLT ordinance that could simplify and modernize outdated business classifications, establish updated gross receipts-based tax structures, reduce taxes for many small businesses depending on classification and revenue thresholds, increase long-term General Fund revenue capacity, and require public disclosure and independent financial audits.

City staff is currently engaging our business community with outreach efforts.  Staff intends on presenting a summary of their efforts and stakeholder responses at the regular City Council meeting scheduled for June 26th.

FISCAL IMPACT
The voter feasibility survey and related consulting services were funded within the adopted budget for professional services associated with the City’s Business License Tax analysis and outreach efforts.

This item does not authorize placement of a ballot measure or adoption of a tax ordinance. Should the City Council ultimately place a BLT modernization measure on the November 2026 ballot and voters approve the measure, preliminary estimates indicate the measure could generate approximately $5.4 million annually in additional General Fund revenue, depending on the final rate structure adopted by the City Council and approved by voters.

TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Krysten Lee, Finance Director
SUBJECT    Presentation of the Draft 2026–2028 Biennial Budget The Proposed 2026–2028 Biennial Budget has been prepared for City Council review and consideration. The proposed budget supports essential City services, infrastructure investment, long-term financial sustainability, and City Council priorities.

At the March 26, 2026 Budget Work Session, the City Council received an overview of the City’s budget process, major fiscal and economic trends, revenue projections, and long-range financial considerations. Since that time, staff has prepared the proposed operating budget, staffing plan, and supporting financial policies for Fiscal Years 2026–2028.

The purpose of the May 28, 2026 City Council meeting is to:

Present the Proposed 2026–2028 Biennial Budget;
Review major priorities and key changes; and
Receive City Council feedback prior to budget adoption, which will occur next month.

As part of this budget cycle, the City transitioned from a two-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to a five-year CIP planning model intended to improve long-term infrastructure planning, coordination, prioritization, and financial forecasting. The Proposed 2026–2031 Five-Year CIP will be presented separately as a companion document to the operating budget.

The City also utilized ClearGov, a budgeting and planning software platform, to assist with preparation of the Proposed 2026–2028 Biennial Budget and Proposed 2026–2031 Five-Year CIP. The platform supports multi-year financial planning, digital budget document development, data visualization, collaboration, and improved public accessibility of budget information. Following budget adoption in June 2026, the City anticipates posting the digital budget document on the City’s website for public access.

The proposed budget was developed using conservative revenue and expenditure assumptions based on current economic conditions, historical trends, development activity, and known operational needs. Major General Fund revenues, including property tax, sales tax, Measure GG, utility users tax, franchise fees, and development-related revenues, continue to provide stable funding for City operations.

The proposed budget reflects continued cost pressures related to personnel, pensions, utilities, contractual services, insurance, technology, and infrastructure maintenance, together with ongoing regional recruitment and retention challenges.

Major budget priorities include maintaining core services; investing in infrastructure, facilities, parks, and technology; supporting long-term community facility planning; and maintaining reserve stability and long-range fiscal sustainability.

The proposed budget also includes limited staffing adjustments, including a limited-term CIP Manager position to support the City’s expanding capital program and long-term infrastructure initiatives, as well some other personnel adjustments that will be described in detail by staff during the presentation at the Council meeting.

The Proposed 2026–2028 Biennial Budget is balanced for the two-year budget period and maintains reserve levels generally consistent with the City’s adopted financial policies.

Staff will provide a presentation on the proposed budget and seek City Council feedback and direction prior to final budget adoption in June.

INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 7
Transmittal
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
We are pleased to present the 2026–2028 Biennial Budget and 2026–2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

Together, these planning documents provide the financial framework necessary to support the City’s full range of municipal services and long-term infrastructure investments.

The Biennial Budget and CIP support essential community services including public safety; maintenance and improvement of streets, parks, storm drainage systems, and other public infrastructure; recreational programs and human services; environmental stewardship; planning, zoning, economic and community development activities; emergency preparedness; code enforcement; and core administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and information technology.

Property Tax, Sales Tax, Transaction and Use Tax (Measure GG), and Utility Users Tax continue to serve as stable core revenues, with modest growth projected in the upcoming years compared to prior budget cycles. The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) rate was recently increased from 10% to 14%, effective January 2025 with the passage of Measure LL, and will help support infrastructure. Other revenues, including permits, licenses, service charges, and recreation program fees, continue to trend favorably following fee updates implemented through the City’s 2024 Comprehensive User Fee and Cost Allocation Study, along with annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments.

A comprehensive Recreation and Community Services cost-of-service and market analysis is currently underway.

Accordingly, the proposed biennial budget does not include a full update to Recreation and Community Services fees at this time. Future revenue projections may be refined following completion of the fee study and subsequent City Council consideration of the recommended adjustments.

Investment earnings are also contributing to steady revenue growth, despite interest rates coming down from the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 high average yield of 5.18% to now 4.05%. As of April 2026, the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) rate was 3.77% and Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) was 3.83% (each down from 4.23% and

4.17% earlier in the fiscal year, respectively).

The operating budgets for FY 2027 and FY 2028 reflect cautious optimism as geopolitical and economic factors impact both revenue growth and expenditure growth. While the City’s fiscal condition remains stable, the cost of providing municipal services continues to increase, particularly in utilities, contractual services, consultant support, insurance, and other operational expenditures. Maintaining local fiscal flexibility and preserving the City’s ability to respond to community priorities remain key budget objectives, ensuring Newark can continue delivering high-quality services while maintaining prudent and sustainable financial practices. This budget includes funding the following City priorities as elaborated in the Strategic Priority Areas section:

Foster a Safe and Healthy Community
Further Economic Vitality and Housing for All
Boost Financial Resilience and Excellence in Service Delivery Modernize Public Facilities and Infrastructure
Strengthen Community through Education and Engagement
Specifically, the City has focused on long-term strategic planning initiatives, including the development or update of strategic plans related to City facilities, parks, public art, transportation, broadband infrastructure, climate action and sustainability, hazard mitigation, emergency preparedness, and services and response strategies for the unhoused community. These planning efforts evaluate existing assets and service levels, incorporate community outreach and stakeholder engagement, and apply industry best practices to identify immediate, mid-term, and long-term strategies to address evolving community needs and infrastructure priorities.

Transmittal Letter
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 8
Consistent with the 2025 Community Survey results, residents continue to identify infrastructure maintenance, traffic circulation, parks and recreational amenities, development services, and emergency preparedness as top City service priorities. These priorities continue to guide the City’s operational planning, capital investment strategies, and longterm financial planning efforts.

The first year of the Capital Improvement Program includes 61 new projects totaling approximately $32.4 million across infrastructure, parks, facilities, equipment, technology, and planning initiatives. Major infrastructure investments include approximately $9.3 million for projects such as the Thornton Avenue Pavement Overlays, Old Town Priority Development Area (PDA) Streetscape Improvements, and Broadband Initiative. Planned park improvement projects total approximately $8.0 million and include the Birch Grove Park Playground, Newark Community Park All Abilities Playground, and new park signage improvements.

Facilities-related projects total approximately $4.9 million and include various facility improvements, as well as initial planning and construction activities associated with the Fire Stations 27 and 29 Reconstruction Project. The CIP also includes approximately $1.3 million in equipment replacement and acquisition, primarily supporting Police and Public Works operations. In addition, approximately $1.9 million is allocated toward planning and policy studies, including the Urban Forest Master Plan, Four Corners Area Plan, and NewPark Place Specific Plan Enhancement, funded through the Community Development Maintenance Fee Fund.

In FY 2028, the second fiscal year of the Capital Improvement Program, 16 projects are planned totaling approximately $7.9 million. Key projects include Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon installations, Traffic Signal Interconnect improvements, sports field lighting and amenity upgrades, initial work associated with the Service Center Administrative Building Replacement Project, and various Public Works and Police equipment replacement projects.

FY 2027 Proposed Budget Highlights
The proposed FY 2027 General Fund Operating Budget totals approximately $92.0 million, compared to the FY 2026 projected expenditure level of $99.7 million and the FY 2026 Amended Budget of $97.6 million. The reduction is primarily attributable to one-time General Fund transfers made in FY 2026 to support capital projects and infrastructure investments within the Capital Improvement Program. Future transfers to support capital projects will continue to be evaluated annually based on year-end operating results, reserve levels, infrastructure priorities, and overall fiscal conditions.

Personnel expenditures are projected at approximately $47.8 million and continue to represent the City’s largest operating expenditure category. Personnel costs reflect negotiated labor agreements, pension obligations, healthcare costs, inflationary adjustments, and strategic staffing investments necessary to maintain service levels and respond to increasing operational demands.

Non-personnel expenditures are budgeted at approximately $23.9 million and include contractual services, materials and supplies, utilities, travel and training, technology costs, and internal service fund allocations. While inflationary pressures continue to impact operational costs, departments have continued to exercise prudent spending controls and cost management efforts where feasible. The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) service contract is projected at approximately $15.4 million in FY 2027, reflecting continued regional public safety cost escalation.

In FY 2027, the City will also initiate a community-focused branding effort intended to help develop and strengthen Newark’s civic identity and community engagement efforts. In addition, the proposed budget includes targeted staffing additions, including a Senior Management Analyst, two Administrative Support Specialists, a Principal Planner, and two Recreation Specialists. These positions are intended to support increasing service demands, operational workloads, development activity, and organizational capacity across multiple departments.

Transmittal Letter
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 9
The proposed budget also includes funding to initiate a Public Works organizational and service level assessment. The assessment will evaluate operational needs, staffing alignment, service delivery expectations, and long-term infrastructure maintenance requirements as the City’s Capital Improvement Program and operational demands continue to expand. The assessment is intended to help identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency, organizational alignment, and long-term service sustainability.

FY 2028 Proposed Budget Highlights
The Proposed FY 2028 General Fund Operating Budget totals approximately $95.8 million, reflecting an increase of approximately $3.8 million over the FY 2027 Adopted Budget. The increase is primarily attributable to projected inflationary cost escalation, including personnel costs, public safety services, utilities, contractual services, and other ongoing operational expenditures. Staffing levels are projected to remain generally consistent with FY 2027 and may be adjusted in future years based on operational needs, service demands, economic conditions, and City Council priorities.

To support the City’s expanding Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and long-term infrastructure initiatives, the proposed budget includes a limited-term CIP Manager position to strengthen project management capacity and support implementation of the City’s transition from a two-year CIP to a five-year CIP planning framework. The position will assist in coordinating major capital initiatives, including the Fire Stations 27 and 29 Reconstruction Project, and ongoing planning efforts associated with a future Cultural Arts Center.

The proposed budget also includes funding for a Public Works organizational and service level assessment to evaluate operational needs, staffing alignment, service delivery expectations, and long-term infrastructure maintenance requirements. Together, these efforts are intended to strengthen operational efficiency, organizational alignment, project delivery capacity, and long-term service sustainability as the City’s infrastructure responsibilities, facility needs, and capital program continue to expand.

In Closing
While economic uncertainty, geopolitical instability, and inflationary pressures continue to present challenges, the 2026–2028 Biennial Budget and Five-Year Capital Improvement Program position the City to continue delivering core services, advancing critical infrastructure investments, and maintaining prudent financial stewardship. The proposed budget reflects the City’s commitment to balancing City Council priorities, emerging community needs, operational sustainability, and long-term fiscal resilience while continuing to provide high-quality services to the Newark community through conservative and strategic financial planning.

Acknowledgments
The preparation of the 2026–2028 Biennial Budget and 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Program reflects a collaborative effort across all City departments.

Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 14 History of the City
The City of Newark, California is a family-oriented community nestled along the southeast end of San Francisco Bay. It is located 35 miles south of San Francisco, 25 miles south of Oakland, and 20 miles north of San Jose. With a growing population of over 46,903 residents, the City of Newark offers a small town feel while sitting in the heart of bustling Silicon Valley. The City occupies an area of approximately fourteen square miles.

Past
The City’s roots are over 150 years old. By California’s statehood in 1850, landings along the Bay in the vicinity of today’s City of Newark had already began to appear. In 1853, Mayhew’s Landing included warehouses for wheat, hay, and coal.

This activity triggered interest in the surrounding area and by 1856 the Mayhew Ranch included 1,500 acres of farmland extending inland to present-day I-880. In the 1870s, a swamp reclamation project was started and an English capitalist bought an interest in the property. The land was eventually bought out by a Scotsman who named the City ‘Newark’, after the castle ‘Newark’ in Port Glasgow, Scotland.

Work started on a railroad through the townsite in 1875. The South Pacific Coast Railroad was not only completed from Dumbarton Point south all the way to Santa Cruz, but the town site was also moved to coincide with the curve on the railroad where the tracks turned south toward San Jose. Eventually, the railroad was extended north from Newark to Alameda, providing direct ferry service to San Francisco.

The completion of the railroad precipitated additional development in Newark. Hotels and stores were soon erected, along with some of the first manufacturing industries. These enterprises joined the production of salt, which had been underway in the Newark area since the 1850’s. Acquisitions and mergers of salt production companies throughout the Bay Area ultimately resulted in the formation of today’s Cargill Salt.

History of the City
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 15 Through the years, residents in Newark have retained a strong sense of independence and community. In 1953, a group representing the chambers of commerce of Centerville, Irvington, Mission San Jose, Niles, Warm Springs, and Newark commissioned a study to incorporate all six communities into one City. However, the Newark Chamber of Commerce began its own movement toward incorporation of just Newark. In September 1955, this effort paid off with the incorporation of Newark as the first new city in Alameda County in 47 years and defeating the effort to incorporate Newark as part of the Fremont metropolis.

Present
Newark has evolved throughout the years from its days enriched in agriculture, manufacturing, and railroad to today’s expansion of high-tech, bio-tech, advanced manufacturing, and the health sciences. Newark represents a diverse, bustling economy at the gateway to some of the world’s affluent markets. Small town values remain, and lower housing and development costs, close proximity to skilled workforce and universities, and a regionally strategic location make Newark a prime site for growth.

The City is a general law city and operates under the Council-Manager form of government. Under this form of government, policy-making and legislative authority are vested in a five-member elected City Council consisting of the Mayor and four Council Members. The Mayor and City Council have responsibility for passing ordinances, adopting and amending the operating and capital budgets, appointing various committee members, and hiring both the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances established by the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and for appointing the various department heads.

The City provides a full range of municipal services to its community. These include public safety; construction and maintenance of streets, parks, storm drains, and other infrastructure; recreational activities and human services; planning, zoning, and other community, and economic development activities; emergency preparedness; code enforcement; and administrative services such as human resources, information technology, and finance. Fire protection services are contracted from the Alameda County Fire Department.

Mission Statement & Core Values
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 23 Fund Structure & Descriptions
A fund is the basic fiscal and accounting entity of the City of Newark. Each fund is a separate self-balancing accounting entity established to account for specific activities or objectives in accordance with legal, regulatory, grant, contractual, or operational requirements.

The City annually evaluates its fund structure to determine whether funds with similar purposes may be consolidated for financial reporting purposes to improve transparency, efficiency, accountability, and clarity. The funds presented in this budget are maintained and reported as separate funds.

In accordance with governmental accounting standards, City funds are classified into three categories: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Fiduciary Funds.

Fund Structure
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 24 Governmental Funds
Governmental Funds account for basic governmental services traditionally associated with municipal operations, including public safety, public works, recreation, community development, and general government functions. These funds are primarily supported through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, permits, service charges, and other nonexchange revenues.

Governmental Funds are further categorized as General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds, and Debt Service Funds.

General Fund (110)
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and accounts for activities not required to be reported in another fund. Major revenue sources include property taxes, sales and use taxes, utility users taxes, business license taxes, franchise fees, permits, and other general governmental revenues.

General Fund expenditures support core municipal services, including City Council, City Administration, Police, Fire, Community Development, Recreation and Community Services, Public Works, and other general governmental operations.

Other General Fund Operating Funds
Paramedic Tax Fund (111)
Accounts for revenues and expenditures associated with the voter-approved Paramedic Tax Program supporting Fire Department paramedic services, training, equipment, supplies, and related operational costs.

Transaction and Use Tax Fund (112)
Accounts for revenues and expenditures associated with Measure GG, the City’s voter-approved one-half cent transactions and use tax measure approved in 2016.

Utility Users Tax Fund (115)
Accounts for revenues and expenditures associated with the City’s Utility Users Tax (UUT) Ordinance. The UUT is a voter-approved general tax imposed at a rate of 3.25% on electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, video, and related utility services consumed within the City. Measure PP, approved by Newark voters in 2020, extended the UUT through December 31, 2029.

Fund Structure
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 25 General Fund Cost Centers
General Fund Cost Centers account for activities where fees or charges are intended to partially or fully recover the cost of providing services. In practice, certain services are not fully cost recoverable due to market conditions, affordability considerations, or community benefit objectives established by the City Council. General Fund contributions may therefore supplement user fee revenues to maintain service levels and community access.

Development Cost Center (120)
Accounts for Community Development, Planning, Engineering, and Building activities associated with private development and construction within the City. Operations are supported primarily through permits, plan check fees, inspection fees, and other development-related charges.

Recreation Cost Center (130)
Accounts for recreation programs, aquatic services, childcare, senior services, wellness programs, and other community-based recreational activities. Operations are funded primarily through user fees and program revenues, supplemented by General Fund support to maintain community access, affordability, and desired service levels.

Maintenance Cost Center (140)
Accounts for the maintenance, repair, and preservation of City infrastructure and public facilities, including streets, park and landscape maintenance, street lighting, weed abatement, and environmental services. Operations are supported through General Fund contributions and other available funding sources to maintain the safety, functionality, and long-term condition of public assets.

Fund Structure
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 26 General Fund Reserves
The City maintains General Fund reserves to support long-term fiscal sustainability, operational continuity, cash flow stability, and financial resiliency. Reserve levels are guided by the City’s Fund Balance and Reserve Policy and informed by Government Finance Officers Association best practices.

Emergency and Economic Uncertainty Reserve (101/102)
The Emergency and Economic Uncertainty Reserve is the City’s primary unrestricted fiscal stabilization reserve. This reserve provides funding capacity for unforeseen emergencies, natural disasters, legal liabilities, revenue shortfalls, economic downturns, or other unexpected fiscal disruptions impacting City operations.

Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Reserve (103) Provides funding for pension obligations, Section 115 Trust contributions, retiree health obligations, and other longterm workforce-related liabilities. The reserve supports long-term cost management, reduces exposure to market volatility, and improves budget stability and financial sustainability.

Equipment Replacement Reserve (104)
Provides funding for the planned replacement and lifecycle management of vehicles, fleet equipment, technology systems, machinery, and other operational capital assets.

Maintenance and Infrastructure Reserve (105)
Provides funding for major maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and preservation of City facilities, buildings, parks, streets, and infrastructure assets to support long-term asset management, operational reliability, and the reduction of deferred maintenance liabilities.

Regular part‐time employees have a weekly average regular work schedule of 20‐35 hours. 5120 Personnel costs of services provided by temporary employees. 5140 Overtime represents the cost for services provided by employees for hours worked in excess of regularly scheduled hours (typically over 40 hours per week) to meet service level needs. 6100 Materials and Supplies represent the cost for tangible goods and commodities which are consumed or materially altered when used.
6200 Services (professional and contractual) represent the cost for general or special City services performed by either private agencies or outside governmental agencies. An example of a private agency contract is a contract for weed abatement services. An example of an outside governmental agency contract is the contract with the City of Fremont for animal shelter services.
6400 Membership, Travel, and Training represent the cost for membership in professional and trade associations, traveling to and participation in workshops, seminars, and conferences provided by these associations, and in‐house training programs. Examples of some activities under this category include disaster preparedness training and exercises, advanced training in computer software use, and technical workshops that introduce new legislative reporting requirements.
6800 Internal Service Charges represent allocation of costs incurred by the Internal Service Fund (ISF) activities to provide services to other City departments. The ISF activities include Office Support, Self‐Insurance (Workers’ Compensation and Public Liability), Maintenance (Equipment, Building), and Technology, Equipment, and Fleet Replacement.
7000 Debt Service represents principal and interest payments on long‐term debt for the Civic Center. This also includes lease payments for the acquisition of a fire pumper, street sweeper, and radio communications system. 8000 Capital Outlay represents the cost of major and significant acquisitions of equipment, land, buildings, and building improvements. An example is a purchase of a new vehicle that is added to the City’s fleet. Another example is the cost for a major building renovation that extends the building’s economic life and expands its functional use.

Budget Structure
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 36 Basis of Budgeting
The City’s Biennial Budget is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) standards and is intended to support long-term fiscal sustainability, operational stability, and City Council priorities. Certain special districts and assessment districts, including the Area Improvement District (AID) and Landscaping and Lighting District (LLD) funds, are budgeted separately through annual resolutions adopted by the City Council.

Governmental funds are budgeted and accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting and the current financial resources measurement focus, under which revenues are recognized when measurable and available, and expenditures are generally recognized when liabilities are incurred. Proprietary funds, including Internal Service Funds, are generally budgeted and accounted for using the full accrual basis of accounting and the economic resources measurement focus.

The Biennial Budget is organized on a fund basis using a line-item budgeting approach, with revenues classified by source and expenditures appropriated by department, program, activity, and object category.

The City utilizes a hybrid budgeting methodology that incorporates incremental budgeting, position-based budgeting for personnel costs, capital planning, and multi-year financial forecasting. The current year adopted budget serves as the baseline for future appropriations and is adjusted for known operational, contractual, economic, and service-level changes. Revenue projections are developed using historical trends, economic indicators, development activity, and external consultant forecasts, where appropriate.

New programs, staffing requests, and service enhancements are evaluated in relation to City Council priorities, operational needs, available resources, and long-term fiscal sustainability. The Biennial Budget is coordinated with the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to incorporate the operational, maintenance, staffing, and long-term financial impacts of capital projects and infrastructure investments.

While the City’s accounting records are maintained in accordance with GAAP and GASB standards, budgetary treatment may differ in limited areas, including capitalization thresholds, encumbrances, interfund transfers, and the timing of certain grant revenues and expenditures. Such differences are disclosed, as applicable, in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

Basis of Budgeting
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 37 Key Budget Information
The City of Newark prepares a biennial budget with a mid-cycle update each fiscal year. The budget details funding for day-to-day operations and capital obligations, including:

Personnel costs (salary, benefits, pension, and cafeteria contributions) Non-personnel costs (materials, supplies, utilities, training, etc.) Internal Service Fund allocations
Capital acquisitions and debt payments
Personnel Budgeting: Finance completes all personnel line items, applying current MOU terms, CalPERS rates, and confirmed staffing levels. Vacant positions are budgeted at top-step salary, employee plus one dependent cafeteria, and PEPRA pension rates.

Internal Service Allocations: Finance calculates allocations for Equipment and Fleet Replacement, Technology Equipment Replacement, Equipment Maintenance, Building Maintenance, Office Support, Public Liability, and Workers' Compensation based on cost recovery models reviewed biennially.

Budget Entry and Rounding: Amounts should generally be rounded to the nearest thousand (or hundred for smaller accounts).

Budgeting Process
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 38 Budget Development Process
The City’s biennial budget process emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and accountability, ensuring public resources are aligned with City Council priorities and community needs. It integrates strategic planning, performance management, and financial sustainability consistent with Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) best practices.

Phases of the Budget Process
The budget process includes four key phases:

1. Development - Departments prepare draft budgets, narratives, and performance measures.

2. Review - Finance compiles and analyzes submissions, while the City Manager oversees alignment with strategic and fiscal goals.

3. Adoption - City Council conducts workshops, holds public hearings, and adopts the Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) by resolution before June 30.

4. Evaluation - Mid-cycle updates and performance reviews measure results and inform future planning.

Roles and Responsibilities (Aligned with GFOA and CSMFO Biennial Budget Best Practices) Finance Department: Leads the biennial budget process by coordinating the budget calendar, preparing multiyear forecasts, developing personnel cost projections, and managing departmental submissions. Finance ensures compliance with City policies, Government Code, and GFOA/CSMFO standards, and prepares the proposed budget, under the City Manager’s direction, for publication and public transparency.

Departments: Prepare data-driven budget requests, performance measures, and narratives aligned with City Council’s strategic priorities. Departments identify service impacts, support requests with measurable outcomes, and maintain fiscal discipline within approved allocations.

City Manager: Provides executive oversight and strategic direction to ensure the proposed budget prepared by Finance reflects Council priorities, fiscal policies, and long-term sustainability. Reviews departmental submissions, recommends adjustments, and formally submits the Proposed Biennial Budget to the City Council for review and adoption.

City Council: Serves as the legislative and policy authority for budget adoption. Reviews the City Manager’s proposed budget, participates in workshops and public hearings, and adopts the Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan by resolution before June 30. Provides ongoing policy direction for the Mid-Cycle Update and long-term fiscal planning.

Principles of the Budget Process
The City of Newark’s budget process aligns with the GFOA framework, emphasizing that budgeting is not just an accounting exercise but a strategic management tool connecting resources, results, and accountability.

1. Establish Broad Goals – Define priorities to guide decisions (Newark: Safe & Healthy Community, Economic Vitality, Financial Resilience, Modernized Infrastructure, Community Engagement).

2. Develop Approaches – Translate goals into actionable programs with measures.

3. Align the Budget with Goals – Allocate resources using a five-year forecast to maintain sustainability.

4. Evaluate and Adjust – Use mid-year and performance reporting to improve accountability and outcomes.

Budgeting Process
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 39 Budget Adjustments and Carryforwards
Mid-year and year-end amendments may be submitted for Council consideration to address new grants, new revenue sources, personnel and operational changes, or capital adjustments. Unspent appropriations lapse on June 30 unless encumbered or authorized for carryforward under City policy. All requests must include documentation per Government Code §37208 and GFOA best practices.

Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
The Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) serves as the City’s long-term plan for maintaining and enhancing public infrastructure, facilities, and community assets. The CIP provides the framework for prioritizing capital investments, aligning funding with City Council strategic priorities, and ensuring fiscal accountability across multiple fiscal years.

Capital project appropriations represent continuing authorizations that remain in effect until a project is completed, closed, or re-programmed by formal Council action. This continuing appropriation model allows approved capital funds to remain available beyond a single fiscal year, consistent with GFOA Best Practice – Multi-Year Capital Planning and GASB Statement No. 34 requirements.

However, this model does not apply to annual recurring capital programs, such as the Street Overlay Program, Slurry Seal Program, or Curb and Gutter Replacement Program. These recurring programs are funded and executed on an annual basis to support ongoing infrastructure preservation. Their appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year unless encumbered under an executed contract.

The Finance Department and Public Works Department jointly conduct an annual review and reconciliation of all active capital projects to verify available balances, validate expenditures, and confirm project status. This process ensures the City’s capital program remains accurate, transparent, and aligned with adopted fiscal policies while maintaining accountability for all appropriated resources.

Budgeting Process
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 40 Budget Cycle and Calendar
The City’s fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30. While the budget cycle may vary from year to year, the process generally follows a structured timeline.

Typical Annual Milestones:

Finance issues the Budget Preparation Guide and templates.

Departments develop and submit proposals.

Finance and the City Manager conduct review meetings.

City Council holds study sessions and adopts the final budget by June 30.

Budget Timeline
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 41 Financial Policies
The following Financial Policies establish the framework for the City’s budget development, financial management, fiscal sustainability, long-range planning, and stewardship of public resources. These policies are aligned with Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practices and are intended to guide the preparation, adoption, and administration of the City’s Biennial Budget.

Budget and Financial Planning Policies
The City’s Biennial Budget is developed to support long-term fiscal sustainability, operational stability, service delivery objectives, infrastructure needs, and City Council priorities.

The City shall adopt and maintain a structurally balanced budget in which recurring revenues and available financing sources are sufficient to fund recurring operating expenditures.

Budget development shall incorporate long-range financial planning, operational needs, infrastructure obligations, economic conditions, and City Council priorities to support ongoing fiscal sustainability.

Revenue projections shall be developed using conservative, yet realistic assumptions based on historical trends, economic indicators, development activity, inflationary factors, and other relevant financial data.

The City utilizes a hybrid budgeting methodology incorporating line-item, incremental, and position-based budgeting principles, supplemented by performance considerations and long-range financial planning to support operational accountability, strategic planning, and long-term fiscal sustainability.

Incremental budgeting shall generally be utilized for ongoing operating expenditures, with the prior year budget serving as the baseline and adjusted for known operational, contractual, inflationary, and service-level changes.

Position-based budgeting shall be utilized for personnel expenditures, with salary and benefit costs developed based on authorized staffing positions, labor agreements, retirement obligations, projected vacancies, and other personnel-related cost factors.

Performance, operational, and service-level considerations may be incorporated into the budget development process to support organizational accountability, resource allocation, and City Council priorities.

The Biennial Budget shall be coordinated with the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Five-Year Financial Forecast to evaluate the long-term sustainability of revenues, expenditures, reserves, capital infrastructure, pension and OPEB obligations, debt commitments, and other long-range financial needs.

General Fund and other major fund balances shall be maintained at levels sufficient to support cash flow requirements, operational stability, financial contingencies, and economic uncertainties.

Departments are responsible for operating within adopted appropriations, approved staffing levels, and applicable budgetary authority.

Budget adjustments requiring additional appropriations shall require City Council approval in accordance with the Municipal Code and adopted financial policies.

Unexpended appropriations shall lapse at fiscal year-end unless associated with legally encumbered obligations, approved contracts, active capital projects, or other authorized commitments supported by prior approved appropriations. Eligible appropriations may be administratively carried forward into subsequent fiscal years, subject to funding availability and compliance with applicable budgetary and purchasing authority requirements.

One-time or nonrecurring revenues should generally not be used to fund ongoing operating expenditures and should instead be prioritized for capital improvements, reserves, pension or OPEB obligations, debt reduction, or other nonrecurring purposes.

Financial Policies
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 42 Financial Forecasting and Long-Range Planning Policies
The City shall utilize multi-year financial forecasting and long-range planning practices to evaluate fiscal sustainability, identify emerging financial risks, and support informed policy and budget decisions.

Long-range financial planning shall consider economic conditions, revenue trends, infrastructure and capital needs, labor and pension obligations, service demands, inflationary pressures, debt commitments, reserve levels, and other operational or strategic factors affecting the City’s long-term fiscal condition.

The Five-Year Financial Forecast shall serve as a planning tool to evaluate future revenues, expenditures, reserve levels, capital funding needs, and long-term liabilities, identify structural budget trends, and support informed decision-making by the City Council and City management.

The City shall periodically update long-range financial projections to reflect changes in economic conditions, legislation, labor agreements, development activity, infrastructure requirements, and other significant financial or operational assumptions impacting the City’s fiscal outlook.

Revenue Management and Cost Recovery Policies
The City shall utilize conservative yet realistic revenue forecasting practices and monitor major revenue sources throughout the fiscal year to support fiscal stability and informed financial planning.

Revenue forecasts shall incorporate historical trends, economic conditions, development activity, assessed valuation growth, sales tax performance, consumer activity, inflationary factors, and other relevant financial data.

User fees, service charges, and development-related fees shall be periodically reviewed and updated in accordance with the City’s adopted Cost Recovery Policy, City Council direction, and applicable legal requirements.

The City may periodically conduct comprehensive user fee, development impact fee, and cost allocation studies to evaluate service costs, cost recovery levels, market conditions, and administrative cost allocations.

Fees and service charges shall generally not exceed the reasonable cost of providing services, including applicable direct and indirect costs, unless otherwise authorized by law.

The City shall strive to align fees and charges for fee-supported operations and enterprise-like activities with the full cost of service delivery, including operations, maintenance, capital replacement, administrative support, and debt obligations, where appropriate.

Fee structures may consider factors including cost recovery objectives, market comparability, community benefit, accessibility, equity considerations, legal limitations, and administrative feasibility.

Fees and service charges may be adjusted periodically based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), labor costs, operating costs, market conditions, or updated cost-of-service analyses.

Where fees have not been adjusted for extended periods or where significant increases are necessary to achieve cost recovery objectives, phased implementation strategies may be considered to reduce sudden financial impacts on residents, businesses, and service users.

Financial Policies
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 43 Expenditure Management Policies
The City shall manage expenditures in a manner that supports long-term fiscal sustainability, operational stability, and alignment between ongoing service levels and available recurring revenues.

Expenditure growth, including labor, pension, insurance, utilities, contractual services, maintenance, and other operating costs, shall be monitored and evaluated as part of the City’s multi-year financial planning process.

Departments are responsible for managing expenditures within adopted appropriations, authorized staffing levels, and applicable budgetary authority, while identifying operational efficiencies and cost-effective service delivery practices where feasible.

Ongoing expenditure commitments and service level impacts shall be evaluated in the context of the City’s longrange financial outlook, projected revenue growth, operational needs, and overall fiscal sustainability.

The City shall maintain reserves and fund balances in accordance with the City’s adopted Fund Balance and Reserve Policy to support fiscal stability, operational continuity, cash flow requirements, emergency response, economic uncertainty, long-term liabilities, capital infrastructure needs, and overall financial resilience. Reserve levels shall be periodically evaluated using a GFOA-informed fiscal risk assessment methodology that considers revenue volatility, expenditure trends, liquidity needs, unfunded liabilities, infrastructure conditions, economic conditions, and long-range financial planning considerations.

The City strives to maintain Emergency and Fiscal Uncertainty Reserves in accordance with reserve targets established under the City’s adopted Fund Balance and Reserve Policy. Reserve usage shall be limited to maintaining service continuity, addressing unforeseen financial obligations, responding to emergencies or economic downturns, mitigating revenue shortfalls, and supporting other strategic financial needs approved by the City Council. When reserve levels fall below established targets, the City shall strive to restore reserves over a reasonable multi-year period consistent with the City’s long-range financial plan.

Additional reserves and assigned or committed fund balances may be maintained for pension and OPEB obligations, infrastructure and facilities maintenance, equipment and technology replacement, capital improvements, self-insurance, debt management, economic stabilization, and other strategic or long-term financial purposes as determined by the City Council.

The City may maintain a Section 115 Pension Rate Stabilization and OPEB Trust (“Section 115 Trust”) to prefund pension and retiree healthcare obligations, mitigate contribution volatility, improve long-term budget predictability, strengthen financial flexibility, and reduce unfunded liabilities associated with CalPERS and OPEB obligations. The Section 115 Trust shall be administered in accordance with applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations, California Government Code Sections 53216 and 53620, GASB requirements, trust agreements, investment policies, and applicable City Council actions.

The Section 115 Trust is intended to function as a long-term pension and OPEB stabilization tool and shall not replace prudent General Fund reserves or be used to address unrelated structural operating deficits. Consistent with applicable legal and fiduciary requirements, trust assets may be strategically utilized to stabilize pension contribution volatility, reimburse eligible pension or OPEB expenditures, improve General Fund liquidity, support long-range financial planning, and preserve funding capacity for strategic capital and infrastructure investments.

The City may periodically evaluate discretionary contributions, accelerated unfunded liability payments, pension stabilization strategies, reimbursement approaches, funding corridors, and other prefunding methodologies intended to improve funded status, reduce long-term costs, and support fiscal sustainability objectives. Funding decisions may consider year-end operating surpluses, salary savings, one-time revenues, favorable pension contribution variances, reserve levels, capital needs, economic conditions, and long-range financial forecast assumptions.

The Maintenance Reserve Fund may be maintained to support the maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, replacement, and preservation of City facilities, buildings, parks, streets, utilities, technology systems, and other infrastructure assets necessary to maintain operational reliability, public safety, and long-term asset sustainability.

Equipment and technology replacement reserves may be maintained to support the planned replacement and lifecycle management of vehicles, heavy equipment, public safety equipment, technology infrastructure, cybersecurity systems, and other operational assets necessary to maintain reliable and efficient service delivery.

Transfers to, from, or between reserves, assigned fund balances, and Section 115 Trust accounts shall be evaluated in conjunction with the City’s annual and biennial budget process, long-range financial planning efforts, capital planning activities, reserve targets, and fiscal sustainability objectives, and shall be subject to applicable City Council approvals, policies, and legal requirements.

Financial Policies
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 45 Capital Improvement Program Policies
The City shall maintain a multi-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to support infrastructure preservation, regulatory compliance, public safety, operational needs, and strategic community investments.

The CIP shall incorporate long-term infrastructure planning, asset management principles, fiscal sustainability, and City Council priorities to support sustainable infrastructure investment and service delivery.

Capital projects shall be evaluated and prioritized using objective and transparent criteria consistent with Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practices and the City’s adopted CIP prioritization methodology. Evaluation criteria may include public safety, legal and regulatory requirements, asset condition, operational necessity, service impacts, infrastructure preservation, operational efficiencies, project readiness, funding availability, environmental sustainability, community benefit, and alignment with strategic goals and City Council priorities.

The City may utilize project ranking systems, prioritization scorecards, asset condition assessments, and other capital planning tools to support transparent, data-informed, and strategically aligned capital investment decisions.

Capital investment planning shall consider lifecycle costs, ongoing maintenance obligations, operating impacts, staffing implications, replacement needs, and long-term fiscal sustainability.

Capital improvements may be funded through available fund balances, impact fees, grants, debt financing, dedicated revenues, development-related funding sources, and other legally available funding mechanisms.

Capital projects and capital asset expenditures shall be evaluated in accordance with the City’s adopted capitalization policy, applicable accounting standards, and administrative procedures. Capitalization thresholds may be periodically reviewed to support operational efficiency, asset management objectives, financial reporting accuracy, and effective administration of the Capital Improvement Program.

Debt Management Policies
The City may utilize debt financing as a strategic financing tool for capital improvements, infrastructure, equipment, and other long-term assets that provide ongoing public benefit and support City Council priorities.

Debt shall be issued prudently and only when determined to be financially feasible, legally permissible, and consistent with the City’s adopted Capital Improvement Program, operating budget, and long-range financial plans.

Prior to issuing debt, the City shall evaluate affordability, repayment capacity, revenue stability, reserve levels, operating and maintenance impacts, existing and projected debt obligations, and long-term fiscal sustainability.

Debt financing shall generally be limited to projects or assets with useful lives that approximate or exceed the related repayment period.

The City shall not issue long-term debt to finance ongoing operating expenditures, recurring personnel costs, routine maintenance, or structural operating deficits.

The City shall evaluate alternative funding sources, including grants, impact fees, development contributions, reserves, pay-as-you-go financing, and available cash funding, prior to issuing debt.

Refunding or refinancing opportunities may be considered when they produce economic benefit, improve debt service structure, enhance operational flexibility, or support other strategic financial objectives.

The City shall seek to preserve strong financial management practices, maintain financial flexibility and creditworthiness, minimize borrowing costs, and comply with all applicable federal and state laws, disclosure requirements, and adopted debt management procedures.

Financial Policies
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 46 Pension and OPEB Funding Policies
The City shall proactively manage pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) obligations through long-range financial planning, actuarially informed funding strategies, and ongoing evaluation of long-term liabilities and funding requirements.

Pension and OPEB trust assets shall be managed in accordance with applicable trust agreements, investment policies, fiduciary standards, and prudent long-term investment practices intended to balance risk, liquidity, and long-term return objectives.

Investment and Cash Management Policies
City funds shall be invested in accordance with the City’s annually adopted Investment Policy, applicable provisions of the California Government Code, and prudent public fund management practices.

The primary objectives of the City’s investment program, in order of priority, shall be preservation of principal, maintenance of adequate liquidity, and prudent investment yield.

The City shall maintain sufficient liquidity to meet operational cash flow requirements, payroll obligations, debt service payments, capital expenditures, and other financial commitments.

Investments shall be managed in a manner that emphasizes safety, liquidity, diversification, and prudent risk management while seeking market-appropriate returns within legal and policy limitations.

Investment maturities and portfolio structure shall be managed to align with anticipated cash flow requirements and minimize exposure to market, credit, and interest rate risk.

The City shall diversify investments by security type, maturity, issuer, financial institution, and investment strategy to reduce portfolio risk and maintain prudent investment practices.

The City shall utilize the prudent investor standard in managing public funds and investment activities, recognizing the importance of managing investments within the context of the overall portfolio and long-term financial objectives.

Investment activities shall incorporate appropriate internal controls, segregation of responsibilities, safekeeping procedures, and oversight practices to protect public funds and ensure compliance with applicable laws, fiduciary standards, and adopted policies.

Authorized investments, financial institutions, and investment counterparties shall be limited to those permitted under the City’s Investment Policy and applicable provisions of California law.

Investment performance and portfolio compliance shall be periodically monitored and reported in accordance with the City’s Investment Policy and applicable legal reporting requirements.

The City shall maintain centralized position control through the adopted budget process. No increases to authorized citywide staffing levels, or material ongoing staffing expansions shall occur without City Council approval through the budget process or separate City Council action.

Consistent with the City’s adopted Classification Plan, Compensation Plan or Salary Schedule, Personnel Rules and Regulations, applicable labor agreements, and adopted budget appropriations, the City Manager and Personnel Officer may administer routine personnel actions involving existing authorized and budgeted positions necessary to support operational and service delivery needs.

Routine personnel actions may include position allocations, reclassifications, transfers, advancement within approved flexibly staffed classification series, retitles, revisions to classification specifications, and other staffing adjustments within existing total authorized citywide staffing levels and adopted appropriations. Such actions shall be reviewed in consultation with the Finance Director and Human Resources Director, as appropriate.

Consistent with the Personnel Rules and Regulations, the City Manager or designee may create, revise, consolidate, or abolish classifications as necessary to support organizational and operational needs, provided such actions do not increase total authorized citywide staffing levels or materially increase ongoing fiscal obligations without City Council approval.

Personnel actions involving material organizational restructuring, creation of additional supervisory, management, or executive layers, significant compensation impacts, amendments to compensation plans or salary schedules, changes to benefit structures, authorized staffing positions, or actions materially affecting longterm fiscal obligations shall require City Council approval.

Administrative personnel authority is intended to support efficient personnel administration while preserving City Council oversight of organizational structure, staffing levels, compensation authority, labor obligations, and long-term fiscal sustainability.

Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) Policy
The City shall annually calculate, adopt, and monitor its appropriations limit in accordance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and applicable State laws.

The City shall monitor appropriations subject to limitation as part of the annual budget process to ensure ongoing compliance with State appropriations limit requirements and maintain sufficient appropriations capacity for future operational and capital needs.

Financial Policies
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 48 Gann Appropriation Limit
California voters approved Proposition 4, commonly known as the “Gann Limits” on November 6, 1979, establishing Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. This proposition mandates an appropriations (spending) limit on the amount of tax revenue that the State and most local government jurisdictions may appropriate within a fiscal year. The fundamental purpose of the Gann Limit is to keep real (inflation adjusted) per person government spending under 1978-79 levels.

The State election on June 5, 1990 resulted in the passage of Proposition 111, amending Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, the governing legislation for calculating the appropriations limit. The measure requires that a complex series of calculations be performed each year to compare appropriations to the limit. Under the amended legislation, the appropriations limit may increase annually by a factor comprised of the change in population (city or county), combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll due to local nonresidential construction.

The City used the change of City population along with the change in per capita personal income options to calculate the FY 2026 appropriation limit of $527.5 million. The City’s current FY 2026 Annual Budget includes appropriations subject to the limit of $74.2 million. This is well below the City’s appropriation limit.

The City of Newark’s appropriation limit is currently over five times its annual appropriations. With such a large margin, it is unlikely the city will reach the appropriation limit in the foreseeable future.

Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 61 Priorities and Issues
Introduction
The City’s FY 2026–2028 Biennial Budget was developed recognizing several ongoing fiscal and operational challenges that continue to affect local governments throughout California and the broader Bay Area region. While Newark’s financial condition remains stable, the City continues to face increasing cost pressures associated with inflation, pension obligations, infrastructure maintenance, workforce recruitment, compensation competitiveness, cybersecurity risks, and long-term operational sustainability.

The City’s budget and five-year financial forecast incorporate conservative assumptions intended to address these challenges while maintaining service levels, preserving fiscal flexibility, and supporting long-term infrastructure and organizational needs. The City will continue monitoring economic conditions, operational risks, labor market trends, infrastructure needs, and evolving service demands to maintain long-term fiscal sustainability and organizational resiliency.

Inflationary Cost Pressures
Inflationary pressures continue to affect both residents and municipal operations. Although inflation has moderated compared to recent post-pandemic peaks, costs for utilities, construction materials, contractual services, professional services, insurance, fleet operations, and maintenance activities continue to increase above historical averages.

Energy and fuel prices remain particularly volatile due to geopolitical tensions, international conflicts, supply chain disruptions, and broader market uncertainty. These conditions continue to place upward pressure on operating and capital expenditures throughout the organization.

The City’s financial forecast incorporates conservative inflation assumptions across both operational and capital expenditure categories. While most non-personnel expenditures are projected to increase approximately 3.0% annually, several expenditure categories, including utilities, insurance, public safety-related costs, and construction activities, are projected to increase at higher rates during the forecast period.

Continued inflationary pressures may also affect consumer spending activity, development trends, and broader economic growth, potentially impacting economically sensitive revenues such as Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax.

Priorities and Issues
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 62 Infrastructure Maintenance and Capital Investment
The preservation, replacement, and modernization of the City’s infrastructure continue to remain among Newark’s highest long-term priorities. Aging public infrastructure, increasing maintenance costs, deferred replacement needs, and expanding facility responsibilities continue to require significant ongoing investment.

For the 2026-2028 Biennial Budget cycle, the City is transitioning from a two-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) framework to a five-year CIP planning model to strengthen long-term infrastructure planning, project prioritization, operational coordination, grant alignment, and multi-year financial forecasting. The expanded five-year CIP framework provides a more comprehensive approach to planning and funding the City’s long-term capital and infrastructure needs while improving visibility into future project sequencing, funding strategies, operational impacts, and ongoing maintenance obligations. Major capital priorities include transportation infrastructure, pavement rehabilitation, park improvements, facility modernization, technology investments, Fire Stations 27 and 29 reconstruction, future Cultural Arts Center and community capital planning initiatives.

Infrastructure maintenance and replacement activities are supported through multiple funding sources, including the General Fund Maintenance Cost Center, Equipment and Building Maintenance Internal Service Funds, capital reserves, development-related funding sources, grants, and voter-approved local revenues.

The City has also completed several long-range planning initiatives, including a Facilities Master Plan, to evaluate existing assets, identify future replacement and rehabilitation needs, and support long-term capital planning efforts.

These planning efforts continue to inform the City’s five-year financial forecast and future capital investment strategies.

As infrastructure systems continue to age and construction costs remain elevated, maintaining sufficient funding for ongoing maintenance, rehabilitation, replacement, and future capital expansion will remain a significant long-term fiscal challenge.

Priorities and Issues
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 63 Pension and Long-Term Liabilities
Like most California public agencies, pension obligations continue to represent one of the City’s most significant longterm financial challenges. The City participates in the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), and employer contribution requirements continue to be influenced by investment performance, actuarial assumptions, demographic trends, payroll growth, inflation, and broader economic conditions.

Based on the most recent CalPERS actuarial valuation report, the City’s unfunded accrued liability (UAL) was estimated at approximately $121.2 million. Although the liability has modestly improved compared to prior years, pension costs are expected to remain elevated for the foreseeable future.

To proactively address long-term pension obligations, the City has implemented several pension management strategies over the past several years, including:

Cost-sharing arrangements with employees;
Fresh-start amortization options through CalPERS;
Prepayment of unfunded liability obligations to recognize available discounts; Establishment of a Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Reserve Fund; Additional discretionary payments (ADPs) toward pension liabilities; and Establishment of a Section 115 Pension Trust through Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS).

During FY 2025, the City transferred approximately $12.0 million into the PARS Section 115 Trust to improve long-term pension funding flexibility and reduce future budget volatility. As of April 2026, the PARS trust balance had increased to approximately $14.3 million due to investment performance and additional earnings.

The City continues to monitor CalPERS actuarial assumptions, investment performance, and contribution projections as part of its long-term financial planning process. Although pension costs are projected to remain significant, the City’s proactive funding strategies and reserve planning efforts are intended to improve long-term fiscal sustainability, reduce long-term liability exposure, and improve budget stability.

The City also continues to experience gradual workforce transition impacts associated with the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA). As additional employees are hired under PEPRA benefit formulas over time, long-term pension cost growth is expected to moderate; however, material short-term savings are not anticipated during the immediate forecast period.

Priorities and Issues
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 64 Workforce Recruitment, Retention, and Compensation
Pressures
Like many public agencies throughout California and the Bay Area, the City continues to face workforce recruitment and retention challenges driven by labor market competition, workforce retirements, evolving workplace expectations, and regional cost-of-living pressures. These conditions may impact the City’s ability to recruit and retain qualified employees across multiple service areas, particularly within specialized technical, public safety, engineering, planning, finance, information technology, and maintenance-related classifications.

Extended recruitment timelines and vacancies can affect service delivery, organizational capacity, project implementation, institutional knowledge retention, and operational continuity. While the City currently maintains relative staffing stability in many operational areas, future vacancies in specialized classifications may require extended recruitment periods and could present challenges in attracting and retaining qualified candidates in an increasingly competitive regional labor market.

Public agencies throughout Alameda County and the Bay Area also continue to experience increasing pressure to maintain competitive compensation structures while balancing long-term fiscal sustainability. Rising labor market competition, regional housing costs, pension obligations, and escalating healthcare and benefit costs continue to create pressure for both annual Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) and periodic market-based compensation adjustments necessary to remain competitive with neighboring agencies and the broader regional labor market.

Compensation increases affect not only salary expenditures, but also pension costs, payroll taxes, healthcare obligations, leave liabilities, and other long-term personnel-related expenditures. Accordingly, the City continues to evaluate compensation competitiveness, organizational staffing needs, succession planning, operational efficiencies, and long-term financial impacts as part of its ongoing workforce and financial planning strategies.

The 2026–2028 Biennial Budget includes targeted staffing additions, recruitment resources, organizational assessments, and operational planning initiatives intended to support workforce sustainability, organizational resiliency, and continued delivery of high-quality municipal services.

Cybersecurity and Technology Risks
Cybersecurity threats continue to increase in frequency, sophistication, and financial impact for public agencies nationwide. Local governments remain increasingly vulnerable to cybersecurity risks associated with ransomware attacks, data breaches, operational disruptions, phishing attempts, and evolving technology threats.

The City continues to invest in cybersecurity awareness training, system monitoring, network protection, software modernization, cloud-based technologies, and technology infrastructure improvements intended to reduce organizational risk and strengthen operational resiliency.

To support ongoing technology replacement and cybersecurity needs, the City established a Technology Replacement Internal Service Fund in FY 2025. The fund supports planned replacement of critical technology infrastructure, software systems, hardware assets, cybersecurity-related investments, and operational technology improvements necessary to safeguard City operations and public information systems.

As technology systems continue to evolve and cybersecurity threats become more sophisticated, ongoing investments in cybersecurity preparedness, operational resiliency, disaster recovery planning, and technology modernization will remain necessary.

Priorities and Issues
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 65 Housing Affordability and Regional Economic Pressures
Like many Bay Area communities, Newark continues to experience housing affordability challenges driven by regional housing demand, elevated construction costs, limited housing supply, and broader economic conditions. Housing affordability pressures can affect workforce recruitment and retention, particularly for public sector employees seeking housing within reasonable commuting distance of their workplace.

Broader regional economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, interest rate fluctuations, fuel price volatility, and changing consumer spending patterns, may also affect local development activity, taxable sales performance, and long-term economic growth.

The City continues to monitor these broader economic and demographic trends as part of its long-term financial planning, economic development, and organizational sustainability efforts.

Conclusion
While the City continues to face multiple fiscal and operational challenges, Newark remains financially stable and wellpositioned to respond through proactive financial planning, conservative budgeting practices, strategic reserve management, pension funding strategies, infrastructure planning, and long-term organizational planning.

The City will continue evaluating economic conditions, operational risks, labor market trends, infrastructure needs, pension obligations, and evolving community service demands to maintain fiscal sustainability, organizational resiliency, and long-term financial flexibility while continuing to provide high-quality municipal services to the Newark community.

Priorities and Issues
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 66 Economic and Financial Forecast
Introduction
Understanding key economic indicators is essential to informed financial planning, budget development, and longterm policy decision-making. This section provides an overview of regional and local economic conditions affecting the City of Newark, including inflation, household income, housing values, and unemployment trends. These indicators serve as the foundation for the City’s revenue projections, expenditure assumptions, capital planning, and long-term financial forecast.

Summary
The City of Newark, with its notable housing costs, median income figures, and low unemployment rate, remains resilient. Recent U.S. Census data confirms Newark's economic strength, with median household incomes surpassing state and national averages. Despite facing challenges such as housing affordability concerns, Newark remains an attractive destination within the competitive Bay Area real estate landscape. Newark also consistently maintains lower unemployment rates compared to broader regional and state counterparts, highlighting Newark's stable local economy and labor market, positioning it favorably amidst economic fluctuations.

The City of Newark continues to demonstrate economic resilience, supported by strong household incomes, stable property values, and unemployment rates that consistently remain below regional and statewide averages. While inflationary pressures, consumer uncertainty, and broader economic volatility continue to affect local governments statewide, Newark’s underlying economic indicators remain comparatively stable.

The City’s financial forecast reflects a cautious and measured outlook developed using historical trends, current economic conditions, development activity, and available revenue forecasting data. Major General Fund revenues, including Property Tax, Sales Tax, and Transactions and Use Tax (Measure GG), are projected to continue growing, although at more moderate rates than experienced in prior years. At the same time, expenditure growth continues to be driven by inflationary pressures, labor costs, pension obligations, utilities, contractual services, and ongoing infrastructure maintenance needs.

The forecast also recognizes several long-term fiscal considerations, including uncertainty surrounding future hotel market performance and the scheduled sunset of the Utility Users Tax (UUT) in December 2029 unless extended by voters.

To support long-term infrastructure investment, the City continues to strategically allocate excess Measure GG revenues, net of existing debt service obligations, together with the additional 4% increase in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) approved through Measure LL in November 2024. These revenues are intended to support major capital priorities, including replacement of Fire Stations 27 and 29, critical infrastructure improvements, and future Cultural Arts Center and community facility planning initiatives.

Overall, Newark’s financial and economic outlook reflects modest but stable growth supported by prudent fiscal management, conservative forecasting practices, and strategic long-term planning. While economic uncertainty and fiscal challenges remain, the City continues to position itself to maintain service levels, address infrastructure needs, and preserve long-term financial sustainability.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 67 Economic Indicators
In April 2026, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward region increased 1.7% over the prior two-month period, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Food prices increased 1.5% during the same period, while the energy index rose 15.7% and gasoline prices increased 28.9%. Over the prior 12 months, food prices increased 5.4%, while energy and gasoline prices rose 13.6% and 19.9%, respectively. Excluding food and energy, the index for all other items increased 1.0% during the two-month period. Among key categories, recreation and shelter costs increased 2.7% and 2.9%, respectively, while prices for new and used vehicles and education and communication declined 1.7% and 1.3%, respectively.

These inflationary trends continue to affect both household purchasing power and municipal operating costs, including utilities, construction materials, fleet operations, insurance, contractual services, maintenance, and laborrelated expenditures. Energy and gasoline prices in particular remain highly volatile due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and broader market conditions. Accordingly, the City’s financial forecast incorporates conservative inflation assumptions across operational and capital expenditure categories.

Recent U.S. Census data further reflects Newark’s strong local economic profile. As of July 2024, Newark’s population was estimated at 46,903 residents, with a median household income of approximately $169,064 compared to Alameda County’s median household income of approximately $129,400. Newark’s strong income levels continue to exceed both state and national averages and are further reflected in the City’s per capita income of approximately $73,044.

Despite a relatively low poverty rate of approximately 4.3%, housing affordability remains a significant regional challenge reflective of the Bay Area’s competitive housing market. Owner-occupied housing units represent approximately 69.4% of Newark’s housing stock. The median value of owner-occupied housing units in Newark is approximately $1,142,800 compared to approximately $1,090,100 countywide, reinforcing Newark’s continued position within the highly competitive Bay Area real estate market.

Newark has also consistently maintained unemployment rates below both Alameda County and statewide averages.

As of February 2026, Newark’s unemployment rate was approximately 4.2%, compared to 4.5% for Alameda County and 5.4% statewide. This trend continued into March 2026 and throughout much of the year, reflecting continued labor market stability and local economic resilience despite broader economic uncertainty.

The assumptions contained within this Economic and Financial Forecast are used in developing the City’s biennial operating budget, capital improvement planning assumptions, and long-term financial projections. Forecasting assumptions incorporate historical trends, anticipated development activity, regional economic conditions, consultant projections, and known policy considerations at the federal, State, and local levels.

The five-year financial forecast incorporates conservative inflationary and expenditure growth assumptions based on current market conditions, historical trends, and available economic data. FY 2027 and FY 2028 salary projections incorporate current Memoranda of Understanding (MOU), including 3.5% annual Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA), together with current benefit and CalPERS contribution rates. Beginning in FY 2029 and continuing through the out years, salary and related pension cost growth assumptions are reduced to 2.8% annually, consistent with CalPERS’ long-term actuarial inflation and payroll growth assumptions. Personnel expenditure projections also incorporate an estimated 10% vacancy savings assumptions based on historical staffing patterns, anticipated recruitment timelines, and current labor market conditions. Unless otherwise noted, most non-personnel operating expenditures are projected to increase approximately 3.0% annually.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 68 Key forecast assumptions include:

Training and Travel: 3.0% annual growth assumption reflecting continued elevated hotel, airfare, and conferencerelated costs.

Utilities: 5.0% annual growth assumption reflecting continued PG&E rate volatility and energy cost uncertainty.

General Services: 3.0% annual baseline operating inflation assumption.

Professional Services: 3.0%-5.0%annual growth assumption for legal, consulting, engineering, audit, and related professional support services.

Contract Services: 3.0% annual growth assumption for janitorial, security, maintenance, and operational support contracts.

Policy decisions made at both the State and Federal levels can significantly impact local revenues and expenditures and are also taken into consideration when developing these projections. The following sections provide additional detail regarding the City’s major revenue assumptions and long-term financial outlook.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 69 Property Tax and Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fee (VLF)
Property Tax remains the City’s largest General Fund revenue source and continues to provide stable long-term growth primarily driven by Proposition 13 inflationary adjustments, property turnover, and new development activity.

Property Tax revenue is projected to increase from approximately $26.7 million in FY 2026 to approximately $33.2 million by FY 2031, reflecting average annual growth of approximately 4.4%. While growth has moderated compared to recent post-pandemic performance, projections remain stable and consistent with regional assessed valuation trends.

The forecast assumes continued but moderating property turnover activity, limited near-term appeals exposure, and ongoing residential and commercial valuation growth. As with all property tax forecasts, future performance remains sensitive to broader economic conditions, interest rates, housing market activity, and assessed valuation changes.

The Vehicle License Fee (VLF) Property Tax Compensation in-Lieu revenue, commonly referred to as the VLF backfill, is also projected to experience modest annual growth consistent with statewide assessed valuation trends. The VLF backfill was established in 2004 following the State’s reduction of the Vehicle License Fee rate from 2.0% to 0.65%, replacing lost local VLF revenues with a property tax-based allocation to cities.

Because VLF backfill revenues are directly tied to assessed valuation growth, the City anticipates continued steady increases throughout the forecast period. VLF revenues are projected at approximately $8.0 million in FY 2026, increasing to approximately $10.0 million by FY 2031. Forecasted revenues include approximately $8.3 million in FY 2027, $8.7 million in FY 2028, $9.1 million in FY 2029, and $9.5 million in FY 2030.

Together, Property Tax and VLF revenues continue to provide a stable and predictable funding base supporting General Fund operations, service delivery, and long-term infrastructure investment planning.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 70 Sales Tax (Bradley Burns)
Sales Tax revenues continue to reflect a cautious but generally stable outlook despite ongoing economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, tariff concerns, and fluctuating fuel prices. Consumers remain sensitive to inflation, interest rate movements, and energy costs; however, overall spending patterns have remained relatively resilient.

Sales Tax represents approximately 18% of the City’s operating revenues, making it the City’s second largest General Fund revenue source after Property Tax.

FY 2025 actual revenues totaled approximately $17.8 million and included one-time allocation corrections and unusually large equipment purchases that are not expected to recur. As a result, projected revenues moderate in FY 2026 and subsequent years to normalize ongoing revenue trends.

Sales Tax revenues are projected at approximately $16.5 million in FY 2026, decreasing slightly to $16.0 million in FY 2027 before gradually increasing to approximately $18.0 million by FY 2031. The forecast assumes continued moderate consumer spending, stable regional economic activity, ongoing e-commerce growth, and modest long-term economic expansion.

HdL Companies, the City’s sales tax consultant, continues to project modest statewide and regional sales tax growth across key industry sectors, including autos and transportation, business and industry, building and construction, fuel and service stations, restaurants and hotels, food and drugs, and general consumer goods. While certain sectors remain sensitive to inflationary pressures, fuel price volatility, and geopolitical uncertainty, the overall outlook for Newark remains stable with modest long-term growth assumptions.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 71 Measure GG (One-Half Cent Sales Tax)
In November 2016, Newark voters approved Measure GG, a one-half cent Transactions and Use Tax effective April 1, 2017. Measure GG was approved to support General Fund services and major civic infrastructure investments, including construction of the City’s new Civic Center consisting of the Police Station, Library, and City Hall. The measure remains in effect for 25 years unless extended by voters.

FY 2025 Measure GG revenues totaled approximately $11.3 million and included one-time allocation corrections that are not anticipated to continue in future years. Measure GG revenues are projected at approximately $9.0 million in FY 2026 and are forecasted to gradually increase to approximately $8.5 million by FY 2031 following normalization adjustments.

Consistent with prior City Council direction, excess Measure GG revenues, net of existing debt service obligations, may continue to be strategically allocated toward future infrastructure investment, facility replacement planning, and other long-term capital priorities.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 72 Sales Tax Forecast
HdL Companies, the City’s sales tax consultant, completed a statewide sales tax forecast evaluating economic trends and revenue drivers across several major industry groups, including Autos and Transportation, Building and Construction, Business and Industry, Food and Drugs, Fuel and Service Stations, General Consumer Goods, and Restaurants and Hotels.

Sales Tax remains the City’s second largest General Fund revenue source, representing approximately 18% of total operating revenues. Newark’s sales tax outlook reflects a combination of moderating consumer spending, inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, fuel price volatility, tariff uncertainty, and broader economic conditions affecting both statewide and regional markets.

The following sections summarize statewide and local economic trends affecting Newark’s major sales tax business groups and corresponding revenue projections.

The following details statewide as well as local trends within the aforementioned industry categories.

Autos & Transportation
The expiration of federal electric vehicle tax credits in September 2025 contributed to a sharper-than-anticipated decline in auto sales, resulting in a modest downward revision to the current year forecast. Ongoing geopolitical tensions and international conflicts have also contributed to higher fuel prices, increased market volatility, and continued uncertainty within the automotive and energy sectors.

Despite near-term challenges, the sector’s long-term outlook remains generally positive. The historically high average age of the nation’s vehicle fleet continues to indicate significant pent-up replacement demand, which is expected to support renewed sales activity beyond 2026.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 73 Building and Construction
The expiration of the 30% federal solar investment tax credit on December 31 contributed to a short-term increase in sales activity for certain material suppliers and electrical contractors. Infrastructure projects had limited direct impact on local taxable sales, as many construction materials were purchased through suppliers classified within the business and industry sector.

Roofing activity also experienced modest growth, although gains were concentrated among a limited number of contractors. Based on trends observed following the heavy rainfall events in previous years, additional repair and maintenance activity is anticipated during the upcoming summer months.

Business and Industry
The Business and Industry sales tax category continues to be supported by sustained growth in e-commerce and online purchasing activity. Consumers increasingly relied on mobile-enabled online shopping during the winter season, helping maintain stable taxable sales activity despite softer performance in other sectors.

California-based fulfillment centers account for an estimated 34% of statewide revenues within this category and continue to provide an important offset to broader market softness. Year-over-year comparisons were also influenced by one-time technology and energy-related payments received in prior years.

Although industrial sectors continue to face challenges associated with higher financing costs, tariffs, and broader economic uncertainty, the overall statewide outlook for the business and industry category remains cautiously optimistic.

Food and Drugs
Grocery stores experienced modest growth, supported by continued increases in online ordering and click-and-collect services. Consumer purchasing patterns were also influenced by viral social media trends, which periodically generated sharp increases in demand for specific products and accelerated inventory turnover.

Convenience stores and liquor markets experienced softer sales activity, although many operators continue adapting by expanding prepared food and grab-and-go offerings to help stabilize customer traffic. Drug stores also continued to face operational and financial pressures amid ongoing store closures, contributing to reduced pharmacy access in certain urban and underserved communities.

Fuel and Service Stations
Fuel-related taxable sales entered 2026 with significant volatility following weaker performance during the fourth quarter of 2025. Geopolitical tensions involving Iran contributed to sharp fluctuations in crude oil markets, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices ranging between approximately $80 and $120 per barrel during March.

As a general benchmark, every $10 increase in WTI crude oil prices typically translates to an approximate $0.24 per gallon increase at California fuel pumps. Additional upward pricing pressure continues to result from structural supply constraints, including the closure of the Phillips 66 refinery in Los Angeles and the scheduled shutdown of Valero’s Benicia refinery.

While short-term fuel price volatility may temporarily increase taxable sales revenues, long-term growth within the fuel and service station category is projected to remain modest at approximately 2% annually.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 74 General Consumer Goods
Brick-and-mortar retailers maintained modest momentum in late 2025, with year-over-year growth of approximately

0.8%, driven primarily by family apparel, off-price retailers, and continued expansion of athleisure brands. As 2026 progresses, retail performance is expected to be influenced by prior-year national retail boycotts that impacted instore sales at several major chains. A partial rebound is anticipated, supported in part by larger tax refunds during the first half of the year.

While tariff-related uncertainty and inflationary pressures remain ongoing concerns, conditions within the general consumer goods sector are expected to gradually stabilize. However, discretionary spending remains sensitive to fuel price volatility, geopolitical instability, and broader economic uncertainty, which may continue to affect consumer purchasing behavior in the near term.

Restaurants and Hotels
Consumers remain highly value-conscious, and the restaurant industry continues to contend with elevated labor and operational costs. Several national chains are closing underperforming locations while reallocating resources toward higher-growth markets. Despite these pressures, the outlook includes notable upsides. Nearby City of Santa Clara hosted the 2026 Super Bowl with the World Cup in various locations coming up. These events reliably boost visitor spending, generating meaningful revenue gains for restaurants and hotels in host regions.

Overall, the forecast is modest growth across multiple sectors, reflecting a broadly stable outlook for Newark's sales tax revenue in the coming years. Despite geopolitical concerns and inflation trends, consumer spending remains resilient and household demand is expected to remain steady.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 75 Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) remains an important General Fund revenue source supporting municipal services, infrastructure investment, and community initiatives. On November 5, 2024, Newark voters approved Measure LL with approximately 80.44% voter support, increasing the City’s TOT rate from 10% to 14% effective January 1, 2025.

The City currently has 11 hotels comprising a diverse mix of hospitality accommodations, including major brands such as DoubleTree by Hilton, Homewood Suites, and Courtyard by Marriott. Collectively, these establishments contribute significantly to Newark’s hospitality and visitor-serving economy.

As a major discretionary revenue source, TOT continues to play an important role in supporting the City’s long-term financial sustainability, capital infrastructure investment, and delivery of municipal services.

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues in Newark have continued to recover but have not yet returned to prepandemic levels. Pre-pandemic hotel occupancy rates averaged approximately 78.1%, compared to current occupancy levels of approximately 69.6%. The hospitality industry continues to experience shifts in travel patterns, including increased remote work and reduced business travel activity, while much of the recent growth in leisure travel has been concentrated in destination-oriented markets.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 76 FY 2026 TOT revenues are projected at approximately $7.2 million, reflecting both the increase in the TOT rate effective January 2025 and continued improvement in hotel occupancy levels. Future TOT projections remain conservative due to ongoing uncertainty within the hospitality market and the potential long-term conversion of certain hotel properties to housing or alternative uses.

While TOT revenues are legally unrestricted general tax revenues that may be used for any municipal purpose, the City currently intends to strategically utilize the additional 4% increase authorized under Measure LL primarily for capital infrastructure and facility investment purposes rather than ongoing operating expenditures.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 77 Utility Users Tax
In November 2010, Newark voters approved Measure U establishing a 3.5% Utility Users Tax (UUT) applied to electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, and cable services. The measure was originally adopted to help restore municipal services significantly impacted during the recession.

In November 2014, voters approved an extension of the UUT while reducing the rate to 3.25%. In November 2020, Newark voters approved Measure PP, extending the UUT for an additional nine years at the current 3.25% rate to continue supporting essential City services, including public safety, fire protection, street and pothole repairs, and crime prevention programs.

FY 2026 UUT revenues are projected at approximately $5 million based on current revenue trends and receipts to date.

Gas and electric utilities continue to comprise the largest portion of UUT revenues, followed by telecommunications and cable services. Although rising utility costs may contribute to near-term revenue growth, the current UUT measure is scheduled to sunset in December 2029 unless extended by voters.

Accordingly, the City’s long-term forecast reflects a significant reduction in projected UUT revenues beginning in FY 2030, making the scheduled sunset of the UUT an important long-term fiscal consideration within the City’s five-year financial forecast and structural financial planning efforts.

Economic and Financial Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 78 Five Year Forecast
Five Year Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 79 Post-Pandemic Economy and Development
Forecast
California and the Bay Area have moved beyond emergency COVID-19 recovery and into a more normalized postpandemic economy. The current development environment is best understood as a return to normal market cycles, but not a return to the conditions that existed before 2020. Consumer activity, travel, business operations, and public revenues have generally stabilized; however, the region continues to face elevated construction costs, higher financing costs, changing work patterns, and uncertainty associated with national economic conditions.

For local governments, the fiscal and development context is now less defined by temporary pandemic relief and more by recurring revenues, long-term service costs, and the need to maintain economic resiliency. Sales tax, transient occupancy tax, property tax growth, and development-related revenues remain important indicators. Public agencies are planning conservatively because business formation, office utilization, construction financing, and consumer spending remain uneven across sectors.

Area-Wide Economic Development Trends
in a Post-Pandemic Era
The regional economy continues to show substantial underlying strength. As reported through Joint Venture Silicon Valley's 2026 State of the Valley and the 2026 Silicon Valley Index, Silicon Valley remains one of the most productive and innovative regions in the nation, with $92 billion in venture capital investment, more than 23,000 patents, a regional market capitalization of approximately $35 trillion, and an unemployment rate of 3.8 percent. Much of this momentum is tied to artificial intelligence, advanced technology, and the region's concentration of high-value firms and talent.

At the same time, the 2026 State of the Valley findings describe a region with a strong economic engine but stalled or uneven growth. Employment has flattened, and the Index reported that regional employment fell by approximately 13,100 jobs, or 0.8 percent, from 2024 to 2025, while remaining slightly above pandemic levels. Remote and hybrid work remains embedded in the economy, accounting for an estimated 31 percent of work time. Artificial intelligence is also expected to reshape work: Joint Venture identified approximately 75,000 jobs with AI in the job description and another 410,000 jobs with tasks potentially exposed to AI-driven augmentation, restructuring, or replacement. 1 1 Source references: Joint Venture Silicon Valley, 2026 State of the Valley recap and 2026 Silicon Valley Index; Silicon Valley Institute for Regional Studies.

Development Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 80 Key economic indicator trends from the 2026 Silicon Valley Index include:

Employment and Innovation - The regional labor market remains tight by traditional measures, but job growth is no longer broad-based. The largest technology employers continue to adjust local headcounts while expanding globally, and the next phase of growth is likely to be more specialized, more capital-intensive, and more closely tied to artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, clean technology, and other high-productivity sectors.

Commercial Space and Work Patterns - Office and commercial real estate remain in transition. Hybrid work, more selective leasing, and demand for higher-quality space continue to affect office utilization and investment decisions. These trends may temper near-term demand for traditional office projects while supporting adaptive reuse, mixed-use reinvestment, industrial-flex space, advanced manufacturing, research and development, and logistics uses where site conditions and market demand align.

Housing Affordability and Household Stability - Housing affordability remains one of the region's most significant constraints on long-term economic competitiveness. The 2026 Index reported median home prices nearing $2 million and found that approximately one-quarter of households cannot meet basic needs without assistance. These conditions affect workforce attraction and retention, increase pressure on lower- and moderateincome households, and reinforce the importance of housing production across income levels.

Development Feasibility - Residential and commercial construction continues to be affected by high material and labor costs, elevated interest rates, stricter lending standards, insurance costs, utility and infrastructure constraints, and market uncertainty. For-sale residential projects may remain more feasible than some rental or mixed-use projects in certain submarkets, while larger multifamily and commercial projects may require longer timelines, phased implementation, public-private coordination, or revised project assumptions to proceed.

Affordable Housing Challenges - Affordable housing development faces especially difficult feasibility conditions.

Even when land use approvals are in place, projects often require multiple layers of financing, including tax credits, State and regional housing funds, local affordable housing impact fees, project-based vouchers, county resources, and philanthropic or nonprofit partnerships. Rising construction costs, limited subsidy availability, higher operating costs, and the need for supportive services can delay projects or increase funding gaps. As a result, affordable housing will continue to require active local participation, regional collaboration, and sustained advocacy for State and federal funding.

Development Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 81 Local Development Activity
Similar to development and construction trends seen in California and the Bay Area region, Newark is experiencing a range of development activities across the commercial and residential sectors. As illustrated below, key commercial projects have recently commenced operations, but applications for new commercial projects have slowed. Residential development, both market-rate and affordable housing projects, remain active.

Commercial Development
Prologis Light Industrial/Warehouse
Prologis, a worldwide developer and owner of logistics-related industrial buildings and a significant property owner in Newark, received approvals in mid-2025 for a 315,000-square-foot flexible-use building on Central Avenue near the Union Pacific railroad tracks. Construction is anticipated to begin in mid-2026.

Commercial and Light-Industrial/General-Industrial development has traditionally been a strength in Newark. Since 2017, Newark has welcomed over one million square feet of advanced manufacturing, research and development logistics, and warehouse space to the community. Recent countywide studies have shown that demand for these uses is strong in southern Alameda County. To assess future opportunities, the City has completed a study of our existing industrial properties and will identify opportunities to develop additional space and attract businesses that would bring new jobs and revenue desired by the community.

Development Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 82 Residential Development – Affordable Housing
An important component of building an inclusive community is to provide affordable housing opportunities within Newark. The City’s General Plan 2023-2031 Housing Element and Municipal Code provide policy direction and requirements to encourage affordable housing development. In May 2021, the City Council adopted a work plan to focus City staff’s affordable housing policy and program efforts, and in October 2023, the city adopted the 2023-2031 Housing Element of the General Plan that will guide work to create more housing opportunities and support for residents in a fair and equitable manner over the next eight years.

Timber Street Senior Housing, a project by Eden Housing, a prominent Bay Area affordable housing developer, completed the conversion of a former light-industrial site on Timber Street near Central Avenue into an affordable rental housing community in 2026. This community provides 79 one-bedroom units for low- and low-income seniors.

On-site amenities include a community room with a kitchen, a podium courtyard with space for community garden planters, recreation, and organized activities, a computer learning center, an exercise room, a bicycle storage room, and offices to house on-site services staff. The City invested over $8 million in affordable housing impact fees and Alameda County Measure A1 housing obligation bond funds for the project.

Other notable affordable housing projects in the pipeline include:

Bayside Newark – FMC Willow: Approved in 2022, this development would include 90 affordable rental units within a distinct building with ground-floor retail in the Bayside Newark neighborhood. Construction could begin in 2026.

Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) – Thorton Avenue: The City has issued entitlements to SAHA for the construction of 57 affordable apartments with one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. The City has invested $12 million in affordable housing impact fees for this project. SAHA recently received $2.3 million in Measure W funds from Alameda County, and the City and SAHA has applied for funding to help close the remaining funding gap.

Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 83 Mowry Village – In 2025, Integral Communities received approvals for the construction of a 30-unit, multi-family rental community associated with a single-family detached subdivision. The units will be available to very lowand low-income households.

Lepashki Homes – In 2023, the developer received approval for a residential community consisting of two buildings with 88 condominium units, including 13 affordable housing for sale units, the first of its kind in Newark. The project will have a Spanish-mission architectural style and is within the Old Town Newark Specific Plan area.

Residential Development – Market-Rate Housing
Newark is a regional leader in residential development, especially given the City's modest population. Since 2019, over 1,400 units have been either approved, constructed, or are under construction. Recent residential projects include:

Marabel by Robson Homes
In 2025, Robson Homes initiated construction of a 118-unit community, Marabel, consisting of three-story single-family townhomes and duplexes on a former light-industrial site on Cedar Blvd. The community is expected to be completed in early 2027.

The Emery by Taylor Morrison
Taylor Morrison is constructing an 80-unit subdivision consisting of three-story townhomes on a former light industrial site near the Marabel project described above. Construction commenced in 2025 and is expected to be completed in late 2027.

Development Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 84 Bayside Newark – FMC Willow
In 2022, Integral Communities received approval for a mixed-use project containing 279 market-rate townhomes in addition to the 90-unit affordable rental housing project with approximately 3,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Construction could begin in 2026.

Mowry Village
In 2025, Integral Communities received approvals to demolish an existing auto dismantling yard, remediate the site, and develop 196 single-family detached homes with the previously mentioned affordable housing community. The project would also include off-site improvements along Mowry Avenue.

Development Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 85 Specific Plans and Future Development
Over the past 20 years, Newark has developed visions, goals, and actions for specific neighborhoods to reimagine former industrial areas with new, beneficial uses and to promote residential development on underutilized lands. The vision for these neighborhoods is contained in specific plans (as defined in the State of California Government Code) adopted by the City Council and available on the City’s website.

Specific plans approved in the last six years also reflect the City’s vision for the physical and economic development of key areas. While earlier specific plans focused primarily on residential development, recent plans such as the NewPark Place Specific Plan and Old Town Newark Specific Plan envision a mix of residential and commercial uses that will contribute to vibrant neighborhoods where the community can live, shop, work, and gather.

NewPark Place Specific Plan
The NewPark Place Specific Plan, adopted in 2018, has the vision to transform the NewPark Mall into a vibrant, urban place with modern residential units, retail, dining opportunities, community venues, and enhanced multi-modal streets and transit opportunities that will act as a premier Bay Area destination to revive the regional retail uses within the mall and act as an economic engine for the City of Newark. In 2021, the Planning Commission and City Council held public hearings to consider amendments to the Specific Plan and to initiate a land-use plan, particularly for the first two phases of development.

The first phase was the Phase A Residential Project, a mixed-use project comprising 319 rental units (with 29 affordable units), approximately 3,700 square feet of groundfloor retail, and approximately 12,900 square feet of amenities. The second project was a Costco warehouse and 32-pump retail fuel facility.

Although Costco was developed and commenced operations in 2023, the approvals for the Phase A residential project expired in mid-2023. Negative economic trends contributed to the property owner's decision to pause residential development in the specific plan area. Future development will require new entitlements. Economic trends, particularly for regional malls, pose significant challenges to redeveloping large retail spaces in an environment where many transactions are conducted and fulfilled online.

In response to these trends, the City hired the Urban Land Institute (ULI) San Francisco in 2025 to convene a Technical Advisory Panel (TAP). Technical Assistance Panels provide expert, multidisciplinary advice to local governments, public agencies, and nonprofit organizations facing complex land use and real estate issues. Drawing on its seasoned professional membership base, ULI San Francisco offers objective and responsible guidance on a variety of land-use and real estate issues, ranging from site-specific projects to public policy questions. The TAP was held over two days in February 2026 and concluded its activities with a presentation of the initial findings to the City Council. The final TAP report, including findings and recommendations, is expected in mid-2026.

Development Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 86 Old Town Newark Specific Plan
The vision of this specific plan is to revitalize Old Town Newark as a vibrant mixeduse neighborhood, with a strong sense of place, thriving retail and commercial businesses, a range of housing choices for existing and future residents, a streetscape that prioritizes bicycles and pedestrians, and public spaces that allow community members to gather with their neighbors.

The Old Town Specific Plan brings together over 30 years of planning and analysis of the Old Town neighborhood to identify a grand vision supported by clear, realistic implementation steps. Relatively low commercial and residential rents have benefited small businesses. However, these low rents have prevented revitalization goals expressed in previous planning documents. Also, high construction costs are a burden for development. The specific plan implements long-standing revitalization goals, including new multi-family and mixeduse residential development, by responding to current market conditions and State housing requirements. At the same time, the specific plan provides steps to maintain the existing housing stock and avoid the displacement of existing residents and businesses.

A key aspect of the specific plan is the planned Streetscape Improvement Project. The streetscape plan for Thornton Avenue in Old Town will catalyze revitalization. The streetscape plan will complement improvements in the private realm and create a safe, attractive destination for residents and visitors, whether on foot, by bike, or in a vehicle.

Thornton Avenue will be narrowed from four lanes to two lanes to promote slower vehicle speeds; dedicated bike lanes will be established; sidewalks will be expanded, and new curb ramps will be installed to improve pedestrian access and allow outdoor seating; and enhanced lighting, landscaping, public art, and open plazas will be added to create new public spaces encouraging people to gather together in their community.

The streetscape project is partially funded from several grant sources, including the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s One Bay Area Grant 3 program, Regional Measure 3, Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Transportation Fund for Clean Air, administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission, and State funding secured by Assemblymember Alex Lee. Streetscape construction is expected to commence in 2026.

Development Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 87 Four Corners Specific Plan
In 2026, the City of Newark will initiate preparation of a Four Corners Specific Plan, an update to the existing Four Corners Area Plan adopted in 1990. The Four Corners area is located at the intersection of Newark Boulevard and Jarvis Avenue, between the Lake‑Rosemont and Mirabeau neighborhoods.

The Four Corners Specific Plan will establish a clear vision, goals, and policies that will facilitate housing and commercial development, promote neighborhood revitalization through increased mixed-use development and walkability, facilitate transit station development, and incentivize multimodal station access. The Four Corners Specific Plan will identify opportunities to improve the certainty of residential and mixed-use development on underutilized commercial properties, such as local incentive or development streamlining programs and state laws. Community and stakeholder input will be collected to inform decision-making around housing, commercial, and public infrastructure improvements.

City Council and the Planning Commission are expected to review the draft Four Corners Specific Plan in 2027.

Development Forecast
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 88 Summary
The City of Newark has moved beyond the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and is now operating in a more normalized, post-pandemic economy. However, the current environment should not be viewed as a return to pre-2020 conditions. While consumer activity, travel, business operations, and public revenues have generally stabilized, development decisions are still being shaped by higher construction costs, elevated interest rates, stricter lending standards, changing work patterns, and broader national and regional economic uncertainty.

The regional economy remains strong, but uneven. The 2026 State of the Valley and Silicon Valley Index show that Silicon Valley remains a highly productive and innovative region, supported by venture capital investment, patents, artificial intelligence, and major technology-sector activity. At the same time, employment growth has flattened, remote and hybrid work remain significant, and artificial intelligence is expected to reshape the labor market. As a result, future economic growth is likely to be more specialized and concentrated in high-productivity sectors such as advanced technology, artificial intelligence, life sciences, clean technology, advanced manufacturing, research and development, and logistics.

Development feasibility will remain a central challenge. Traditional office and commercial real estate are still adjusting to hybrid work and changing tenant demand, while larger mixed-use and multifamily projects may require longer timelines, phased implementation, revised assumptions, or public-private coordination. Newark’s historical strength in commercial, light industrial, general industrial, advanced manufacturing, and logistics remains important, especially as the City continues to evaluate opportunities within its existing industrial lands.

Housing affordability remains one of the most significant constraints on regional economic competitiveness.

Affordable housing production will remain difficult, even where projects have land-use approvals, because most require multiple layers of financing and are vulnerable to rising construction and operating costs, limited subsidy availability, and funding gaps. Continued local participation, regional collaboration, and advocacy for state and federal funding will be necessary to advance affordable housing projects.

For Newark specifically, residential development remains a major area of activity. Both market-rate and affordable housing projects are advancing, including senior housing, affordable rental housing, affordable ownership units, townhomes, single-family homes, and mixed-use residential projects. Newark continues to perform as a regional residential development leader relative to its population size, though future production will depend on market conditions, financing availability, infrastructure capacity, and project-specific feasibility.

The City’s adopted and forthcoming specific plans will remain essential tools for guiding long-term growth. The NewPark Place Specific Plan, Old Town Newark Specific Plan, and future Four Corners Specific Plan will provide the City with policy direction for mixed-use development, housing production, commercial revitalization, streetscape improvements, walkability, and multimodal access. While economic conditions may affect the timing and form of development, these plans position the City to respond strategically as market conditions improve and new opportunities emerge.

Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of equipment and services provided internally to other City departments. Examples include maintenance and replacement of departmental equipment, maintenance of Cityowned buildings, the administration of workers' compensation and public liability insurance, and general office equipment lease agreements.

Activities that support these types of functions are classified as Internal Service Funds (ISF). The cost of these funds are allocated to all departments through allocation formulas. These formulas distribute the financial burden a given service places on the ISF activity. The final allocations for all ISFs become the Internal Service Fund Cost Allocation Plan.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Capital Improvement Plan
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 140 Capital Improvement Plan
A Capital Improvement Plan is a comprehensive strategic plan that identifies, prioritizes, schedules, and determines funding for necessary project execution. The City of Newark's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), is a Five-Year plan that is updated on a rolling basis as part of the Biennial Budget process. Guidance on preparing the CIP comes from the City's General Plan, Specific Plans, Master Planning documents, the City's Strategic Priority Areas, direction from City Council, and community input.

Capital Budgeting Process
The Capital Budgeting Process (Process) establishes projects and associated budgets within the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and utilizes a structured, transparent, and strategic approach that aligns with prudent public fiscal policies to ensure successful long-term planning, fiscal responsibility, and public accountability. The Process is interactive, dynamic, and occurs concurrently with the Biennial Budget process.

The Process begins with updates and/or review of the City's Mission, Vision, Values, strategic plans, priorities and goals.

This effort includes review of the City's General Plan, Specific Plans, Master Planning documents, the City's Strategic Priority Areas, direction from City Council, and community input. Potential new projects are identified with a detailed description of purpose and scope of work, rough cost estimates at time of construction, preliminary schedule, and potential funding sources. Existing CIP projects are also reviewed with estimated spending by the end of the current fiscal year ("Estimated Actuals"), updated purpose and scope of work, updated cost estimates escalated to estimated time of construction, updated schedule, and updated funding sources. Any existing CIP projects that have been completed or are nearing completion are removed from consideration. Balances, revenues, and expenditures for typical project funding as well as staffing and resources are forecasted, analyzed and reviewed within the CIP timeframe. Projects that cannot be competed within the CIP timeframe are analyzed for future funding needs beyond the CIP timeframe ("Future Budgeted").

The Process continues with the Project Ranking and Prioritization Process, whereby all projects are evaluated and scored based on established weighted criteria to determine those projects that may be incorporated into the Draft CIP. Projects that scored high (corresponding to a higher priority) are reviewed by the City's Executive Team.

Additional evaluation considers other factors that may warrant projects to be removed from consideration. New projects may be removed or delayed from consideration if there is an upcoming study or effort that has the potential to substantially alter the project priority; if the new project is redundant or conflicts with another higher priority project; or if there isn't sufficient staffing or resources available to execute the project.

The Process continues further with workshops or presentations of the draft list of projects and the Draft CIP to City Council. This provides an opportunity for City Council as well as the general public to review and provide feedback.

The Draft CIP is also reviewed by the City's Planning Commission for conformance with the City's General Plan as required by State law.

The Process is finalized with incorporation of the Final CIP into the Biennial Budget process, and formal adoption by the City Council of the Final CIP with the Biennial Budget prior to the new fiscal cycle. The adopted Biennial Budget and CIP are posted on the City's website and monitored until the Process restarts.

Capital Budgeting Process
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 141 Basis for Capital Estimates
Capital estimates are based on established and sound government accounting standards and practices. Estimates are based on a combination of analyzing recent and similar bid pricing, third-party expert consultant reviews, and engineering judgment. Estimates typically include contingencies consistent with the estimated amount, projected risks, and sound engineering practices. Estimates typically are escalated to represent the anticipated cost at the projected time of bidding.

Capital Improvement Project Ranking and Prioritization
Process
Project prioritization is based on standards established by the Government Finance Officers Association. Projects are prioritized and scored based on evaluating eight weighted criteria below. The maximum possible score is 125 points, and those projects with the higher scores have a higher priority. Project scores from 95 to 125 are "Critical Priority"; 70 to 94 are "High Priority"; 45-69 are "Medium Priority"; and below 45 are "Low Priority."

1. Public Safety / Regulatory Compliance: How well does the project address life safety risks, emergency response capacity, or regulatory requirements? (Score 1 through 5) x (weighted score of 5) = 25 maximum points

2. Infrastructure Condition / Asset Preservation: How well does the project rehabilitate or replace deteriorating infrastructure assets? (Score 1 through 5) x (weighted score of 5) = 25 maximum points

3. Strategic Alliance with Council Goals: How well does the project support adopted strategic priorities or City Council goals? (Score 1 through 5) x (weighted score of 4) = 20 maximum points

4. Service Level Impacts: How well does the project improve service delivery capacity or operational efficiency? (Score 1 through 5) x (weighted score of 3) = 15 maximum points

5. Financial Readiness / Funding Availability: How well does the project have funding sources identified or secured? (Score 1 through 5) x (weighted score of 3) = 15 maximum points

6. Community Benefit / Economic Impact: How well does the project enhance the community's quality of life or economic vitality? (Score 1 through 5) x (weighted score of 2) = 10 maximum points

7. Environmental Sustainability: How well does the project improve climate resilience, energy efficiency, or environmental outcomes? (Score 1 through 5) x (weighted score of 2) = 10 maximum points

8. Project Readiness: How well are the project's environmental review or design completion, or how ready is the project for implementation? (Score 1 through 5) x (weighted score of 1) = 5 maximum points Capital Budgeting Process
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 142 Definitions and Criteria for Capital Projects
A CIP Project is generally defined as necessary work or study associated with the improvement (construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, demolition, installation, or significant repair work) involving any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility that involves a major (exceeding $25,000 value) City asset that has a useful life exceeding one year, and that can reasonably be started or substantially completed within the CIP timeframe given time, funding, and resource constraints. This definition combines the goals and policies of the City, the concept of asset capitalization used in the field of finance, and the definition of public projects used in the field of public works.

There are five types of CIP Projects:

Facility Projects consist of the renovation, replacement, or improvement of the public buildings and facilities that the City owns and operates, such as the George M. Silliman Community Activity Center, the Clark S. Redeker Senior Center, and Fire Stations #27, #28 and #29.

Infrastructure Projects consist of significant work within the City's right-of-way, such as streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutter, streetlights, traffic signals and associated equipment.

New Equipment consists of new vehicles and other significant technology or hardware.

Park Projects consist of the renovation, replacement, or improvement of the public parks that the City owns and maintains.

Studies consist of large-scale planning and engineering efforts that directly or indirectly impact capital assets.

DEBT SERVICES OVERVIEW
Debt Services Overview
Proposed 2026-2028 Biennial Budget | Newark, CA Page 156 Government-Wide Debt
The City’s debt service obligations consist of long-term debt, which was used to build capital facilities or to acquire equipment that the City is now using.

Section 43605 of the State of California Government Code states that a city shall not incur an indebtedness for public improvements which exceeds in the aggregate 15 percent of the assessed value of all real and personal property of the city. The Code section was enacted prior to the change in basing the assessed value to full market value when it was previously 25% of market value. Thus, the limit shown as 3.75% is one-fourth the limit to account for the adjustment of showing assessed valuation at full cash value. Within the meaning of this section “indebtedness” means bonded indebtedness of the city payable from the proceeds of taxes levied upon taxable property in the city. As of June 30, 2025, the City's assessed value was $15,496,518,922, therefore the debt limit for bonded indebtedness payable from tax proceeds was $145,279,865. As the City has no general obligation debt payable from tax proceeds, the debt instruments that the City currently has do not lower the available debt limit for bonded indebtedness.

General Government
The governmental funds issued $63,345,000 of 2019 Certificates of Participation (COPs) to finance a portion of the construction costs of the new Civic Center facility, refund the City’s Certificates of Participation (2002 Silliman Community Activity Center/Old Town Fire Station Project), and prepay a 2012 lease agreement.

On August 21, 2023, the City entered into an Energy Conservation Assistance Act Loan Agreement with the California Energy Commission to borrow up to $1,598,265 to upgrade the City’s streetlights to Light Emitting Diode (LED) luminaires which will improve the light quality, reduce maintenance costs and reduce energy use.

Semi-annual payments are due on December 22 and June 22 of each year until June 22, 2033.

Proprietary Funds
The outstanding balances from these direct borrowings contain a provision that states in the event of default, there shall be no right under any circumstance to accelerate lease payments or otherwise declare the borrowing to be immediately due and payable. However, the borrower at its option may terminate the agreement and re-lease all or any portion of the property.

The proprietary funds consists of one financed purchase obligation for equipment.

On January 23, 2020, the City entered into a non-cancelable agreement in the amount of $843,565 with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC to acquire a fire pumper. Annual payments are due on December 23 until FY 2029.

Ownership of the fire pumper reverts to the City at the end of the agreement period.

On November 24, 2024, the City entered into a non-cancelable agreement in the amount of $1,500,000 with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC to acquire a fire engine. Annual payments are due on November 22 until FY 2030.

Ownership of the fire pumper reverts to the City at the end of the agreement period.

Uncollected Funds: Recently deposited checks included in an account’s balance but drawn on other banks and not yet credited by the Federal Reserve Bank or local clearinghouse to the bank cashing the checks. (These funds may not be loaned or used as part of the bank’s reserves and they are not available for disbursement.) Undesignated Fund Balance: Monies in the various government funds as of the end of the fiscal year that are neither encumbered nor reserved, and are therefore available for expenditure once certified as part of free cash.

Unreserved Fund Balance (Surplus Revenue Account): The amount by which cash, accounts receivable, and other assets exceed liabilities and restricted reserves. It is akin to a "stockholders’ equity" account on a corporate balance sheet.

DATE 05/28/2026
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Miki Tsubota, City Engineer
SUBJECT    Receive information and provide feedback regarding the Draft 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Plan with funding recommendations
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
On April 23, 2026, staff presented a list of projects to be included in the 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Plan. Comments received at the presentation have been incorporated, and staff now recommends the City Council receive this report, accept public input, and provide feedback regarding the Draft 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) with project funding recommendations.

BACKGROUND
A Capital Improvement Plan is a comprehensive strategic plan that identifies, prioritizes, schedules, and determines funding for necessary project execution. The City of Newark's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a Five-Year plan that will be updated on a rolling basis as part of the Biennial Budget process. Guidance on preparing the CIP comes from the City's General Plan, Specific Plans, Master Planning documents, the City's Strategic Priority Areas, direction from City Council, and community input.

A CIP project is generally defined as necessary work or study associated with an improvement (construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, demolition, installation, or significant repair work) involving any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility that involves a major  City asset that has a useful life exceeding one year, and that can reasonably be started or substantially completed within the CIP timeframe given time, funding, and resource constraints. This definition combines the goals and policies of the City, the concept of asset capitalization used in the field of finance, and the definition of public projects used in the field of public works.

There are five types of CIP Projects. Facility Projects consist of the renovation, replacement, or improvement of the public buildings and facilities that the City owns and operates. Infrastructure Projects consist of significant work within the City's right-of-way, such as streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutter, streetlights, traffic signals and associated equipment. New Equipment consists of new vehicles and other significant technology or hardware. Park Projects consist of the renovation, replacement, or improvement of the public parks that the City owns and maintains. Studies consist of large-scale planning and engineering efforts that directly or indirectly impact capital assets.

On March 26, 2026, City Council received a staff presentation on an introduction to the Five-Year CIP and provided feedback on two large-scale projects: the Central Avenue Overpass and Cultural Arts Center projects. Based on City Council's direction, staff is in the process of concluding work on the Central Avenue Overpass Project and has included the Cultural Arts Center project in the Draft 2026-2031 CIP. With these decisions made, staff then identified and prioritized additional specific infrastructure, parks, facilities, new equipment, and associated studies for consideration into the Draft CIP.

On April 23, 2026, City Council received a presentation of preliminary projects for consideration to be included in the Draft 2026-2031 CIP (see attached staff report).  Public comments consisted of a resident expressing concerns about train horn noise and requesting an update on the Quiet Zones project, and a resident expressing support for the Quiet Zones project.  Council comments have been addressed and will be reviewed in staff's presentation (attached).  Also attached is a project proposal from Council Member Grindall regarding an Education General Plan Element and Action Plan.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Draft 2026-2031 CIP includes changes to projects in response to City Council comments as well as additional review by staff.  Per Council comments, the Bayside Transit-Oriented Development Pedestrian Bridge Design project is now included in the Draft 2026-2031 CIP.  This $2.8 million infrastructure design project funded by Traffic Impact Fees is scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 2031.  Additional added projects based on staff review include two new vehicles for use primarily by Information Technology and Recreation and Community Services Departments' staff.

Other changes to the Draft 2026-2031 CIP include removal of and refinement to project scopes, funding, and schedules.  Based on anticipated completion within the current fiscal year, the Silliman Activity Center Pool Replastering project has been removed.  In addition, the Public Works Robotic Mower project has been removed as this equipment is no longer needed at this time.  In response to Council comments, the minimum cost threshold to define a CIP Project has increased from $10,000 to $25,000.  As a result, the IT Network/Redundancy 5G Router and Police Utility Vehicle projects have been removed and will be incorporated into the Operating Budget.  Several project descriptions have been updated, including adding anticipated completion dates for studies.

Lists of proposed projects in the Draft CIP are shown below with the exception of projects that have real property conflicts of interest.
