Agenda packet — Newark City Council, September 24, 2026 (part 2 of 2)

Each of these STEP grants has been fully funded through federal sources administered by OTS, requiring no local matching funds from the City. The grants have consistently supported overtime enforcement operations targeting driving under the influence (DUI), distracted driving, speed enforcement, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and related traffic safety activities. Grant funds have also been used to procure traffic safety equipment and to send officers to specialized training programs in support of traffic enforcement objectives.

The current 2025-2026 STEP grant (PT26056) remains active through September 30, 2026. As part of the annual grant cycle, OTS has now offered the City a new STEP grant award for the 2026-2027 program year under Grant Number PT27107, covering the project period of October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, in the amount of $74,000. The draft grant agreement identifies the Newark Police Department as the implementing agency and outlines the scope of enforcement activities, training requirements, reporting obligations, and budget allocations for the upcoming grant term.

The City's participation in the STEP program aligns with the City Council's strategic priority of fostering a safe and healthy community by directing resources toward reducing traffic collisions, injuries, and fatalities on city roadways.

The City covers approximately 14 square miles and has an estimated residential population of 49,000 residents, bordered by Interstate 880 to the east and State Route 84 to the north. In calendar year 2025 there was one fatal crash resulting in two fatalities and 129 injury crashes resulting in 156 injured parties within the City. Speed data collected at multiple locations indicate vehicles traveling an average of 11 percent above posted speed limits, with 44 percent of vehicles exceeding the posted limit on one major arterial. These conditions underscore the continued need for targeted traffic enforcement operations supported by STEP grant funding.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The City of Newark Police Department has been awarded the 2026-2027 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant (PT27107) from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) in the amount of $74,000. This grant provides federal funding to support targeted traffic enforcement activities over a twelve-month project period beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027. No City match is required.

The STEP grant funds a comprehensive program of selective traffic enforcement operations designed to reduce traffic-related fatalities, injuries, and collisions within the City. The grant agreement identifies specific enforcement and programmatic objectives the Newark Police Department must complete during the project period. These objectives include:

Driving Under the Influence/Driver's License (DUI/DL) checkpoints DUI saturation patrol operations
Warrant service operation targeting DUI offenders
Traffic enforcement operations
Distracted driving enforcement operations
Pedestrian and/or bicycle enforcement operation
Traffic safety educational presentations
Collaborative DUI enforcement operation
Collaborative traffic enforcement operation
National traffic safety campaigns
Sending personnel to Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) training, Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) training, SFST Instructor training, and DUI Checkpoint Planning and Management training The total grant award of $74,000 is allocated across three federal funding sources as follows:

Fund Number Federal Program (CFDA) Description Amount
164ID-27 20.608 Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated $46,000
402PT-27 20.600 State and Community Highway Safety $19,000 405e DDA-27 20.616 Distracted Driving Awareness $9,000
Grant Total $74,000

The grant budget is distributed across the following cost categories:

Budget Category Amount
Patrol Overtime $64,169
Training $3,539
Supplies $6,292
Grant Total $74,000
The personnel costs category constitutes the largest portion of the budget at $64,169 and covers overtime for DUI/DL checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, warrant service operations, collaborative DUI enforcement, traffic enforcement, pedestrian and bicycle enforcement, traffic safety educational presentations, collaborative traffic enforcement, and distracted driving enforcement. No straight-time personnel costs are included; all personnel funding is for overtime activities.

The other direct costs category includes DUI checkpoint supplies, one lidar device, and two Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) device/calibration supply units.

The grant project period runs from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Quarterly Performance Reports (QPR) and grant claim invoices are due on January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30. The grant agreement also establishes specific media coordination requirements, including a minimum seven-day advance approval period for media materials by the OTS Public Information Officer (PIO), at least 21 days advance notice for significant events, and submission of post-event highlights within seven days following an event.

The 2026-2027 STEP grant award of $74,000 represents a decrease of $11,000 from the 2025-2026 STEP grant (PT26056) of $85,000, which the City Council approved on November 13, 2025. Despite the reduced award amount, the scope of enforcement activities remains consistent with prior grant years, continuing the City's longstanding participation in the OTS STEP program.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive $74,000 in one-time federal funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, administered through the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). No City match is required.

The grant operates on a reimbursement basis. The City will incur eligible costs and submit quarterly claims to OTS for approval and reimbursement.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.

The City of Newark is located in southern Alameda County within the San Francisco Bay Area. The city encompasses approximately 14 square miles and is home to an estimated 49,000 residents. Newark is primarily a suburban community with a balanced mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial and industrial areas, and retail development.

Newark is geographically positioned along two major transportation corridors, Interstate 880 on its eastern boundary and State Route 84 along its northern boundary. These routes serve as critical regional connectors for commuters traveling between the East Bay, South Bay, and Peninsula. As a result, Newark experiences significant daily commuter traffic, with volumes increasing substantially during peak travel hours. Navigation applications frequently direct regional traffic onto Newark’s surface streets, increasing vehicle activity throughout the city.

The city is also served by regional rail transportation, including the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) and Amtrak, further contributing to daily fluctuations in population and transportation demand. Due to these regional transportation connections and employment centers, Newark’s daytime population routinely exceeds its residential population.

The City of Newark continues to experience steady residential and commercial growth, supported by its central Bay Area location and proximity to major employers and transportation infrastructure. The Office of Traffic Safety STEP Grant will impact the entire jurisdiction of the City of Newark, including its residents, commuters, visitors, businesses, and all roadway users traveling within city limits.

Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).

The City of Newark continues to experience a concerning number of traffic-related injury and fatal crashes impacting motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and the community at large. In calendar year 2025, the City of Newark recorded 1 fatal crash resulting in 2 fatalities, 129 injury crashes, and 156 injured parties. When compared to calendar year 2024, Newark experienced one additional injury crash (128 to 129), representing an approximate 1% increase, while the number of injured parties decreased by approximately 6% (166 to 156). Traffic fatalities remained unchanged year over year.

Although overall crash figures remained relatively consistent between 2024 and 2025, these numbers continue to reflect an unacceptable level of harm on Newark’s roadways. Even a single injury crash is one too many, as the City of Newark remains committed to improving traffic safety and reducing preventable injuries and deaths for all roadway users.

Newark’s traffic crash problem is exacerbated by increasing vehicle volumes and mixed roadway use. The city is bordered by Interstate 880 and State Route 84, both of which serve as major regional commuter corridors. During peak commute periods, traffic volumes increase substantially, and navigation applications frequently divert regional traffic onto Newark’s surface streets. As a result, local roadways experience higher speeds, increased congestion, and increased exposure for pedestrians and bicyclists, particularly in residential and commercial areas.

Speeding, impaired driving, and violations affecting pedestrian and bicycle safety remain persistent contributing factors to traffic-related complaints and crashes within the city. Traffic-related concerns continue to be the most frequently reported complaints from Newark residents. Speed data collected from multiple locations throughout the city showed vehicles exceeding posted speed limits by an average of 11%, with one major arterial recording 44% of vehicles traveling above the posted speed limit. These conditions present an ongoing risk of serious injury or death, especially as Newark continues to experience population growth, increased commuter traffic, and expanding commercial activity. 6/26/2026 4:08:15 PM Page 5 of 21
Traffic-related injury and fatal crashes impact all roadway users and place a sustained burden on public safety resources and overall community well-being. Without focused and data-driven traffic safety interventions, injury crashes are expected to remain elevated as roadway demand and traffic volumes continue to increase.

Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) Device Replacement
Problem Statement: Ongoing Impaired Driving Despite Sustained Enforcement Efforts Impaired driving remains a persistent and serious threat to public safety in the City of Newark despite ongoing enforcement, education, and prevention efforts. The Newark Police Department actively participates in Office of Traffic Safety (OTS)–funded DUI enforcement activities, including DUI saturation patrols, DUI checkpoints, and impaired-driving enforcement by patrol officers during routine operations. While these efforts have resulted in numerous arrests and increased public awareness, alcohol-impaired driving continues to be a contributing factor in crashes and enforcement contacts.

Effective DUI enforcement requires accurate, reliable, and timely tools that allow officers to make informed decisions in the field. Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) devices are a critical component of this process.

The Newark Police Department currently utilizes five Dräger PAS devices that were purchased with grant funding in 2017. These devices are now approaching the end of their expected service life, increasing the risk of reliability issues, maintenance costs, and potential operational downtime. Without replacement, the department’s ability to consistently and effectively detect alcohol impairment—or confirm the absence of alcohol impairment—may be diminished, impacting both enforcement outcomes and public confidence.

To maintain the integrity of its impaired-driving enforcement program and continue protecting roadway users, the Newark Police Department seeks grant funding to replace its aging PAS devices with five new Dräger PAS units.

Program Implementation: Continued Use Within an Established PAS Program The Newark Police Department has maintained a well-documented and established PAS program that is fully integrated into its DUI enforcement operations. PAS devices are routinely deployed during DUI saturation patrols, DUI checkpoints, and on-view DUI investigations conducted by patrol officers. Officers are trained in the proper use, calibration, documentation, and legal considerations associated with PAS devices, ensuring consistent and defensible application in the field.

The requested PAS devices will directly replace existing units that are nearing the end of their useful life, allowing the department to maintain uninterrupted enforcement capabilities. The devices will be assigned and deployed department-wide, ensuring availability across shifts and during OTS-funded operations.

Newark officers have used PAS devices thousands of times over the life of the current program, resulting in hundreds of DUI arrests and countless instances where officers were able to objectively determine the absence of alcohol impairment and release drivers without unnecessary detention.

This replacement strategy ensures continuity of an effective program rather than the creation of a new one, allowing Newark to immediately implement the equipment with no delay, additional infrastructure costs, or changes to existing procedures.

Effectiveness and Community Benefit: Objective, Measurable DUI Enforcement Outcomes PAS devices provide an objective, scientifically supported method for detecting the presence or absence of alcohol in a driver’s system, making them an essential tool for fair, effective, and lawful DUI enforcement. In addition to identifying impaired drivers, PAS devices are equally valuable in confirming when alcohol is not a contributing factor, allowing officers to rule out impairment and focus on other causes of observed driving behavior. This enhances officer efficiency, protects individual rights, and strengthens public trust.

The continued use of reliable PAS devices directly supports OTS goals by increasing the effectiveness of DUI enforcement, improving evidence quality, and enhancing officer decision-making in the field. Program effectiveness will be measured through quantifiable metrics such as the number of PAS uses, DUI arrests, 6/26/2026 4:08:15 PM Page 6 of 21
DUI checkpoint contacts, and impaired-driving enforcement actions conducted during OTS-funded operations. These metrics are already tracked as part of Newark’s existing PAS and DUI enforcement documentation practices.

By replacing aging equipment with new PAS devices, the Newark Police Department will ensure sustained enforcement capability, improved reliability, and continued deterrence of impaired driving. This investment will help reduce alcohol-involved crashes, prevent injuries and fatalities, and enhance roadway safety for all residents and visitors traveling within the City of Newark.

Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

The target population for this grant includes all roadway users within the City of Newark, including residents, commuters, visitors, and employees who travel through or within city limits. This population is directly affected by the ongoing occurrence of traffic-related injury and fatal crashes on Newark’s roadways.

Due to Newark’s location adjacent to Interstate 880 and State Route 84, a significant portion of the target population consists of commuters and through-traffic who use Newark’s surface streets during peak travel hours. These increased traffic volumes elevate crash risk for local residents who rely on the same roadways for daily travel, school access, and commercial activity. The combination of commuter traffic and local travel increases exposure to speeding, impaired driving, and other unsafe driving behaviors.

At-risk populations within Newark include pedestrians, bicyclists, school-aged children, older adults, and individuals with limited mobility, all of whom are more vulnerable to serious injury or death when involved in traffic crashes. Newark is home to multiple elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, a continuation school, and a community college campus, resulting in frequent pedestrian and bicycle activity during school commute hours. In addition, large community events and commercial activity draw substantial numbers of pedestrians into roadway environments, increasing exposure to traffic hazards.

Residents living along major arterial roadways and within residential neighborhoods impacted by cut-through traffic are also part of the target population, as they are disproportionately affected by speeding vehicles and traffic violations. As crash data shows continued injury crashes and fatalities, these populations face an elevated and ongoing risk to personal safety.

The traffic safety problems identified affect the entire Newark community; however, vulnerable roadway users experience the most severe consequences. This grant is intended to serve those populations by addressing the traffic safety conditions that place them at heightened risk.

2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective primary tier participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective primary tier participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.

3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the prospective primary tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default or may pursue suspension or debarment.

4. The prospective primary tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary tier participant learns its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

5. The terms covered transaction, civil judgment, debarment, suspension, ineligible, participant, person, principal, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR parts 180 and 1200.

9.4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any prospective lower tier participants, each participant may, but is not required to, check the System for Award Management Exclusions website
( https://www.sam.gov/).

9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate the transaction for cause or default.

The State and each subrecipient will comply with the Buy America requirement (23 U.S.C. 313) when purchasing items using Federal funds. Buy America requires a State, or subrecipient, to purchase with Federal funds only steel, iron and manufactured products produced in the United States, unless the Secretary of Transportation determines that such domestically produced items would be inconsistent with the public interest, that such materials are not reasonably available and of a satisfactory quality, or that inclusion of domestic materials will increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. In order to use Federal funds to purchase foreign produced items, the State must submit a waiver request that provides an adequate basis and justification for approval by the Secretary of Transportation.

The code or standards shall provide that the recipient's officers, employees, or agents may neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from present or potential subawardees, including contractors or parties to subcontracts. b. The code or standards shall establish penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations, as permitted by State or local law or regulations.

2. The recipient shall maintain responsibility to enforce the requirements of the written code or standards of conduct.

DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
6/26/2026 4:08:15 PM Page 21 of 21
No State or its subrecipient, including its officers, employees, or agents, shall perform or continue to perform under a grant or cooperative agreement, whose objectivity may be impaired because of any related past, present, or currently planned interest, financial or otherwise, in organizations regulated by NHTSA or in organizations whose interests may be substantially affected by NHTSA activities.

PROHIBITION ON USING GRANT FUNDS TO CHECK FOR HELMET USAGE (applies to subrecipients as well as States)
The State and each subrecipient will not use 23 U.S.C. Chapter 4 grant funds for programs to check helmet usage or to create checkpoints that specifically target motorcyclists.

POLICY ON SEAT BELT USE
In accordance with Executive Order 13043, Increasing Seat Belt Use in the United States, dated April 16, 1997, the Grantee is encouraged to adopt and enforce on-the-job seat belt use policies and programs for its employees when operating company-owned, rented, or personally-owned vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for providing leadership and guidance in support of this Presidential initiative. For information and resources on traffic safety programs and policies for employers, please contact the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), a public-private partnership dedicated to improving the traffic safety practices of employers and employees.

Item D. 7.

DATE 09/24/2026
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Ed Miranda, Information Technology Director/CIO
SUBJECT Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Fourth Amendment to the Contractual Services
Agreement with Granicus LLC in an additional amount of
$13,031.92 for website maintenance, hosting, and licensing services
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The City's public website and an independent subsite rely on Granicus govAccess for hosting, licensing, software maintenance, technical support, security protections, and disaster recovery. The current agreement expires September 30, 2026.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Fourth Amendment to the Contractual Services Agreement with Granicus LLC to: (1) continue govAccess website maintenance, hosting, and licensing services for one year, from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027; and (2) increase the Agreement's not-to-exceed amount (NTE) by $13,031.92, from $66,145.98 to $79,177.90.

BACKGROUND
The City entered into Contract No. C20070 with Granicus effective October 1, 2020 for govAccess website maintenance, hosting, and licensing. The agreement has been amended three times as shown in Table 1 below.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Granicus Quote Q-549324 offers the next annual service period, October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, for $13,031.92, a 10 percent increase over the current year. Approval of this one-year extension avoids an interruption in public-facing website services.

The amendment would raise cumulative compensation from $66,145.98 to $79,177.90, exceeding the City Manager's $75,000 purchasing-guideline threshold and therefore requiring City Council approval. Though the quote offers pricing through 2029, staff recommends a one-year extension only while the City conducts a competitive request for proposals for a replacement website and related services during calendar year 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Fourth Amendment costs $13,031.92 and increases the Agreement's cumulative not-to-exceed amount to $79,177.90. Sufficient funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Information Technology operating budget and no budget amendment is required.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY AREA
The recommended action aligns with the City Council's Strategic Priority Area of Boost Financial Resilience and Excellence in Service Delivery.

WHEREAS, because the cumulative not-to-exceed amount will exceed the City's $75,000 purchasing-guideline threshold, City Council approval is required; and WHEREAS, the one-year extension will maintain service continuity while City staff conducts a competitive request for proposals for a replacement website platform and related services; and

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE

CONTRACTUAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

BETWEEN THE CITY OF NEWARK AND

GRANICUS LLC
This Fourth Amendment to Contractual Services Agreement between the City of Newark, a municipal corporation ("City"), and Granicus LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Contractor") (collectively, the "Parties"), amends the Contractual Services Agreement entered into by the Parties effective October 1, 2020 and is entered into as of the date last executed below.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Parties executed the Contractual Services Agreement (the "Agreement") for govAccess website maintenance, hosting, and licensing services; and WHEREAS, Section 26 of the Agreement permits the Parties to amend the Agreement by a writing signed by both Parties; and
WHEREAS, the Parties previously executed a First Amendment effective April 1, 2021, a Second Amendment effective August 28, 2023, and a Third Amendment executed November 13, 2023; and

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Section 3.A., "Not to Exceed" Compensation, of the Agreement is amended to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by Thirteen Thousand Thirty-One Dollars and Ninety-Two Cents ($13,031.92), from $66,145.98 to a total not-to-exceed amount of Seventy-Nine Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Seven Dollars and Ninety Cents ($79,177.90).

The future-year prices are informational only and do not create an option, renewal, extension, commitment, or payment obligation of the City. Services after September 30, 2027 require a further written agreement or amendment executed by both Parties and approved in accordance with applicable City laws and policies.

5. If there is any conflict between Exhibit 1 and the Agreement as amended, the Agreement as amended, including this Fourth Amendment, controls.

6. Except as expressly modified by this Fourth Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement, as amended by the First, Second, and Third Amendments, remain in full force and effect.

DATE 09/24/2026
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Brittney Frye, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT Adopt a resolution amending the Citywide Salary Schedule to change the classification title of Maintenance Superintendent to Public Works Maintenance Manager in conformance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
Upon the Maintenance Superintendent position vacancy, staff reviewed the classification to ensure it remained consistent with industry standards, comparable classifications, and the City’s internal organizational structure.

Based on that review, the classification specification was updated to more accurately reflect the current scope and responsibilities of the position, including changing the classification title from Maintenance Superintendent to Public Works Maintenance Manager, among other language revisions.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the Citywide Salary Schedule to change the classification title from Maintenance Superintendent to Public Works Maintenance Manager. The proposed action changes the classification title only and does not modify the existing salary range.

BACKGROUND
The Maintenance Superintendent classification provides management and oversight of the City’s public works maintenance operations and related services.

The position was continuously filled for approximately eleven years prior to becoming vacant.

The vacancy provided an opportunity for staff to review the classification before initiating a recruitment process. As part of this review, staff evaluated the classification specification, considered current industry standards and commonly used classification titles among comparable public agencies, and reviewed the position within the context of the City’s organizational and classification structure.

The review identified opportunities to update the classification specification to better reflect the current duties, responsibilities, and level of management assigned to the position. Revisions were made to the classification specification, including changing the title from Maintenance Superintendent to Public Works Maintenance Manager.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed title of Public Works Maintenance Manager more accurately reflects the position’s current management responsibilities and provides greater clarity regarding the classification’s role within the Public Works Department. The revised title is also more consistent with contemporary classification terminology and supports alignment within the City’s organizational structure.

In conjunction with the title change, staff updated the classification specification to reflect the current scope of work and responsibilities of the position. The revisions do not change the fundamental organizational role of the classification or its existing salary range.

The Citywide Salary Schedule currently lists the classification as Maintenance Superintendent. California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 requires public agencies to maintain a publicly available pay schedule meeting specified requirements. Accordingly, City Council approval is necessary to amend the Citywide Salary Schedule to reflect the new classification title.

Adoption of the proposed resolution will change the classification title on the Citywide Salary Schedule from Maintenance Superintendent to Public Works Maintenance Manager and allow the City’s classification and compensation records to reflect the updated title.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action. The proposed amendment changes the classification title only and does not modify the existing salary range for the position.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY AREA
The recommended action aligns with the City Council’s strategic priority area of Boost Financial Resilience and Excellence in Service Delivery.

TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Gloria Del Rosario, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT Year-end budget review and adoption of a resolution amending the 2024–2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal year 2025–26 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
This report provides an overview of the City’s preliminary unaudited General Fund financial results for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26, which represents the second year of the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget. It highlights major revenue and expenditure variances and recommends year-end budget adjustments necessary to align budgeted revenues and appropriations with year-end activity, adopted fiscal policies, and operational needs.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution amending the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2025-26, as detailed in Exhibit A.

BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted the 2024-2026 Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan on June 27, 2024 (Resolution No. 11665). In accordance with standard fiscal practices, budget amendments are brought forward throughout the year to address unanticipated changes in revenues and expenditures. The City’s regular practice is to present both mid-year and year-end amendments for City Council consideration. The most recent mid-year amendments were approved on March 26, 2026 (Resolution No. 11830).

FY 2025-26 is the second year of the City’s biennial budget cycle. As part of the year-end review process, staff recommends several amendments to align appropriations with actual year-end activity, operational needs, available funding sources, and interfund transfers in accordance with the most current information and adopted fiscal policies. These proposed amendments reflect changes that have occurred since adoption of the Biennial Budget in June 2024.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
General Fund Year-End Results
Based on preliminary unaudited year-end results, the General Fund ended FY 2025-26 with a net operating surplus of approximately $2.7 million after transfers and revenue designations.

These results reflect the City’s year-end close and budget true-up and remain subject to completion of the external audit.

Revenue Performance
Preliminary unaudited General Fund revenues totaled approximately $98.1 million, which is Preliminary unaudited General Fund revenues totaled approximately $98.1 million, which is $7.9 million higher than the amended budget of $90.2 million. Key revenue variances include:

Sales Tax and Measure GG: Bradley-Burns sales tax revenue exceeded the FY 2025-26 amended budget by approximately $1.9 million, while Measure GG transaction and use tax revenue exceeded budget by approximately $2.7 million. The favorable variances were driven largely by higher-than-anticipated receipts during the latter part of the fiscal year, including several significant one-time taxpayer payments. HdL, the City's tax consultant, reported that Measure GG, in particular, benefited from one-time business and industry payments, while underlying sales tax performance remained mixed across major business sectors. Because a portion of the favorable variance is considered nonrecurring, staff has not assumed that the same level of revenue will continue in future-year projections. Excess Measure GG revenue is designated for future capital project costs or new debt payments in accordance with the City’s fiscal policies.

Other Revenues: Increased by approximately $1.4 million, primarily due to a $0.7 million donation and higher interest earnings. Despite lower investment yields in FY 2025-26 compared to FY 2024-25, higher cash balances year over year resulted in higher investment income.

Licenses, Permits, and Fees: Increased by approximately $0.8 million as a result of higher building construction permit, application, and plan review activity, as well as higher fees resulting from annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments incorporated into the Master Fee Schedule.

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): Increased by approximately $0.5 million over the amended budget of $7.2 million, surpassing mid-year projections. Hotel occupancy at the end of FY 2025-26 was 70.4%, compared to 67.2% in the previous fiscal year. The higher revenue also reflects the first full fiscal year of Measure LL, which became effective January 1, 2025.

Expenditure Performance
Preliminary unaudited General Fund expenditures totaled approximately $86.7 million, which is approximately $3.7 million below the amended budget of $90.4 million. The favorable variance primarily reflects lower-than-budgeted non-personnel expenditures and the timing of certain services that will occur in the next fiscal year, including:
$371,600 in materials and supplies
$2.25 million in services
$448,900 in utility services
$607,300 in travel and training
General Fund Transfers and Designations
Several year-end transfers and revenue designations are proposed to align with the City’s fiscal policies, address long-term obligations, and support capital funding needs.

Key Transfers:
$1.98 million from the Paramedic Tax Fund to the General Fund for reimbursement of prior-year fire paramedic costs included in the Alameda County Fire contract. $2.36 million to the Emergency and Fiscal Uncertainty Reserve to maintain the City Council-approved target of 30% of General Fund operating expenditures.

Excess Revenue Designations:
$690,000 donation.
$5.47 million in excess Measure GG transaction and use tax revenue designated for future capital project costs or new debt payments.
$2.21 million of Transient Occupancy Tax revenue generated from the additional 4% under Measure LL, effective January 1, 2025, designated for future capital project costs or new debt payments.

These designations reserve the identified revenues for long-term capital priorities, including anticipated debt issuance for projects such as replacement of the City’s two fire stations or the new Cultural Arts Center.

General Fund Year-End Summary
Note: The Net Operating Results After Transfers and Designations reflect the City’s preliminary unaudited year-end surplus or deficit:

A positive amount increases the General Fund balance (surplus).

A negative amount decreases the General Fund balance (deficit).

Cash and Investments
Cash and Investments
Preliminary unaudited FY 2025-26 results reflect approximately $9.8 million in interest earnings from unrestricted cash and investments, with an average yield of 3.75%. This compares to $8.6 million earned in FY 2024-25 at an average yield of 4.67%. Although the average portfolio yield declined, higher average cash and investment balances resulted in greater total investment earnings.

Of the $9.8 million, approximately $4.6 million is General Fund revenue, reflecting a $0.4 million favorable variance over the amended budget. Interest earned on restricted cash is not available to support General Fund operations.

Audit and Internal Controls
The FY 2025-26 year-end close and budget true-up are substantially complete, and preliminary unaudited year-end results were used to prepare this report. The City is preparing for external audit fieldwork and preparation of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Final financial results remain subject to audit and any resulting year-end adjustments. The ACFR is expected to be finalized by December 2026 and presented to the City Council in January 2027.

TO Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM Neetu Salwan, City Clerk
SUBJECT Adopt a resolution approving the Mayor’s appointment to the Public Art Committee
Background
A vacancy occurred on the Public Art Committee (PAC) due to Committee Member Kristina Garcia Santiago’s absence from all PAC meetings since the Committee was established. The PAC has held four meetings to date: May 27, June 24, July 28, and September 15, 2026.

Pursuant to Newark Municipal Code Section 2.14.050, a committee member’s seat is automatically vacated when the member has more than three unexcused absences during any consecutive six-month period.

Recruitment and Appointment Process
The initial vacancies for the nine PAC appointments were advertised, during which the City received 26 applications. Mayor Hannon interviewed the applicants and initially identified nine qualified candidates for consideration by the City Council.

The Mayor subsequently revisited the list of qualified applicants and recommends Mariana Lucchesi Leite Naveca for appointment to the PAC to fill the current vacancy. If approved, Ms. Naveca will serve a four-year term. Committee members serve without compensation.

Members may be reappointed, subject to the Mayor’s appointment and City Council approval.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Mayor’s appointment of Mariana Lucchesi Leite Naveca to the Public Art Committee for a term expiring September 24, 2030.
