FROM: Billilee Saengchalern, Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving a Deferred Improvement Agreement with Kenneth and Evelyn Ferrante, Trustees of the Kenneth and Evelyn Ferrante 2014 Trust, for Frontage Improvements at 2540 Oakley Road (MS 22-976)
Background and Analysis
The Developer, Kenneth and Evelyn Ferrante, is currently processing a minor subdivision (MS 22-976) for the property located at 2540 Oakley Road. As a condition of development, City Ordinance 10-01 requires the construction of specified public improvements along the property frontage. The Developer has requested to defer these improvements. Under Ordinance 10-01, the City may permit a developer to execute a Deferred Improvement Agreement (DIA) in lieu of immediate construction. This allows the City to ensure the improvements are built at a later date, typically when adjacent parcels develop or a specific triggering event occurs, while allowing the current minor subdivision to proceed.
The improvements being requested to be deferred include:
Undergrounding of overhead utilities
Construction of a 6-foot-wide meandering sidewalk
Grading and landscaping of a 17.5-foot parkway element Installation of public streetlights and necessary signage The proposed subdivision is located along Oakley Road west of Live Oak Avenue. The frontage improvements is approximately 350 linear feet along the northern half of Oakley Road. The site is challenging to improve with limited right of way and remaining rural current condition of this roadway has been unimproved with no storm drain nor existing curb and gutter in this area.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The approval of this agreement is consistent with the Oakley Strategic Plan under the Community Health and Safety Goal to provide safe streets in Oakley by ensuring that required infrastructure is legally bound for future completion to City standards.
Approved and
Forwarded to the
City Council

Fiscal Impact
There is no immediate fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund. The Developer is required to provide financial security in the form of a Faithful Performance bond and a Labor and Materials bond, each representing 100% of the estimated construction cost ($295,500). These securities ensure the City has the funds to complete the work should the Developer default.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the Deferred Improvement Agreement for 2540 Oakley Road related to MS 22-976 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Municipal Pooling Authority Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Between the City of Oakley and Other Public Agency Members Background and Analysis
The City of Oakley is a member of the Municipal Pooling Authority (MPA) a Joint Powers Authority (JPA). MPA provides the City as well as other members with the administration of self-insured insurance coverage for liability, worker’s compensation, and vehicle coverage as well as access to participate in fourteen additional programs that offer coverage for property, crime, cyber and employee benefits. To be a member of MPA each governing body must agree to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPEA) with MPA.
A JPEA is a foundational document that outlines MPA’s powers and organizational structure. The City of Oakley joined the MPA just after incorporation in 2002 and entered into the current JPEA when it was updated in 2005. The JEPA has undergone an extensive review and revision process and is being presented tonight for approval to adopt the Municipal Pooling Authority Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement.
On February 27, 2025, the MPA Coverage and Governance Committee recommended JEPA amendments to ensure alignment with other relevant documents and laws. The MPA Executive Committee approved these with revisions on March 26, 2025, and the Board of Directors gave final approval on April 10, 2025.
Board-approved amendments were sent to all members for feedback, after which MPA staff and legal counsel made further revisions based on input received. The MPA Board of Directors approved the final Amended/Restated JEPA on January 13, 2026. The Amended/Restated JEPA must now be approved by each member by resolution of the member’s governing body and signed by each member’s designee.
In response to member feedback and the edits recommended by the MPA Coverage Committee, additional revisions have been incorporated into the JEPA. These changes include both substantive updates and formatting refinements to ensure clarity and consistency:

Section 23 (Effect of Withdrawal or Expulsion): Clarified language confirming that withdrawal or expulsion does not relieve a Member from obligations under MPA’s governing documents.
General Formatting and Language Consistency: Several non-substantive edits were made throughout the document to correct formatting issues that arose during the conversion of the original PDF into an editable format. These changes improve internal consistency and readability without altering meaning.
MPA was approved by the state as of July 1, 1977. It currently has twenty-one member municipalities, primarily located in Contra Costa County, with some in Santa Clara, San Joaquin, and San Mateo counties. MPA was formed primarily to reduce the rising costs of private insurance for liability and workers’ compensation. The founding members agreed to pool fiscal resources and share the cost of administering and litigating claims. This pooling of funds is allowed under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, Government Code Sections 6500-6599.3.
MPA provides valuable resources for training and education, including a comprehensive wellness program, ergonomics program, and online training modules. Participation in a JPA is invaluable for reducing claims exposure and cost.
In addition to coverage, MPA has also provided members with grants to meet safety needs within their cities. Oakley has benefited from these grants over the last two years. MPA has a Board of Directors and each member in the pool has a seat on the Board. The Board decides how claims are managed and what is covered by the pool.
The JEPA Agreement is the required document that each member’s governing body must approve to join any MPA program.
Below is a list of current active members:

DATE: March 24, 2026
TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Jeri Tejeda, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolutions Amending the Consulting Services Contract with Koa Hills to Add Report Writing Services
Background and Analysis
In January 2023, as a part of the Tyler Enterprise ERP contract, the City hired Koa Hills to provide consulting services to guide us through the upcoming software conversion.
In July 2024, the City went live on the financial module of Tyler EERP and in January 2025 we went live on the Human Resources and Payroll module. We are still working on the implementation of permitting and licensing as well as asset management modules and anticipate both to be completed by December 2026.
As we have completed our first year with the new software, staff has found that the canned reporting offered in Tyler EERP is not always what is needed. Many times, we find that we need to run multiple reports in order to extract the information that is necessary for reporting.
Koa Hills has been a supportive partner throughout the conversion process. They not only have extensive knowledge of the Tyler EERP software, but they also have extensive knowledge of our specific implementation. Included in our Tyler contract is SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Reporting. SSRS is an extremely powerful tool that can assist us in extracting information and building reports that will make many of our reporting responsibilities more efficient now and into the future.
The amendment we are seeking is to add an additional 270 hours of work which will get us approximately ten custom reports that will be specific to our software. These reports take many hours to build and test but once created they will save staff time and resources, as we will use these reports often. Once created, staff will be able to maintain these reports and make necessary adjustments on our own.
Approved and

City Council

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The approval of this resolution is consistent with the SP 27+ Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Goal as well as the Sustainable Organization Goal as ensuring we have the proper documentation in place is essential.
Fiscal Impact
The cost of the amendment is $54,000. There is funding available utilizing ARPA funds previously allocated to the Tyler EERP project and therefore no additional funding is needed at this time.
Staff Recommendation
Adopt Resolutions Amending the Consulting Services Contract with Koa Hills to Add Report Writing Services and authorize the City Manager to sign the amendment.

Main Contact: Jeri Tejeda, Administrative Services Director Date: 02/12/2026
Report #1 - Developer Deposit Report Specifications
Overview:
Developer deposits in California are up-front fees or securities that a city or county requires from a developer before approving or starting work on a project. They’re basically financial insurance for the local government.
They exist to make sure the developer pays for public costs tied to the project and to protect taxpayers if the developer bails or underperforms.
The City of Oakley (Client) needs a Developer Deposit “Invoice” developed that will take details from Project Ledger history and create an invoice-like report that they can send to their Developers.
Details:
➢ Client has their Project Ledger setup and currently has around 100 Developer Deposit Accounts. ➢ Sources of data for report:
Project Ledger history is the main source of data for this report. This history gets updated from the following in Munis:
o Accounts Receivable (AR) - AR takes in payments from Developers. At intake time, the clerk will associate payments with the Project Number for the Developer. (Note: Client is not using AR General Billing in Munis as it is at the summary level and does not provide the detail that Developers need, hence the need for this report). These transactions will flow to Project Ledger history naturally.
o Payroll (PY) – PY projects are not linked to Project Ledger directly. Employee’s time will be coded in Payroll manually to the correct Project and then will flow to the Project Ledger via manually entered journal entries. These journal entries will have the Employee’s name and the number of hours worked that will then be used on this report.
o Accounts Payable (AP) – When invoice amounts are drawn down from a Developer’s Account, that information will naturally flow to Project Ledger history. 251
252
SOW – Koa Hills Consulting – City of Oakley - Report Development 6 ➢ Field Descriptions:
o HEADER:
▪ STATEMENT DATE: From selection criteria
▪ STATEMENT PERIOD: From selection criteria
▪ Developer Deposit Balance: Balance in Developer’s Account after all debits and credits in statement date range.
▪ Project Number and Description: In sample above, this is dd2516 – .
Client’s Project Number will also start with dd.
▪ Project Status: Pulled from Project setup in Munis
o DETAIL:
▪ DATE: Transaction date from Project Ledger history.
▪ DOC TYPE / NUMBER: The values in this column represent where the transaction came from and, if there is an important numeric identifier for that source, it is also provided.
For example (note that these examples and the ones in the above screenshot are from a different client and serve only as examples, these may be different for Client):
• CRP / 58: Cashiering – original deposit – 58 likely cash receipt # • PRJ/PAO / 0: Payroll journal entry – no associated #
• API / 91: Accounts Payable Invoice – 91 likely invoice # • Other kinds of expenses
▪ DESCRIPTION: A description of the transaction from the source of the transaction. Note that, for Payroll journal entries, the Employee name and hours will need to be included. ▪ AMOUNT: Amount of the transaction.

Report #2 – Payroll Processing Report Specifications
Overview:
The City of Oakley (Client) has a need for a report pulled from payroll history that, for one payroll (Warrant) at a time, shows Earnings, Deductions, Benefits, and Leave data with employee detail, subtotals by Department Division, and then Grand Totals for the entire payroll at the end.
For example:
Department 20
Employee detail Department 20 Division 200 (20-200)
Subtotal for Department 20 Division 200 (20-200)
Employee detail Department 20 Division 210 (20-210)
Subtotal for Department 20 Division 210 (20-210)
Department 30
Employee detail Department 30 Division 200 (30-200)
Subtotal for Department 30 Division 200 (30-200)
….
Grant Totals for entire payroll at the end
This will essentially be one main report with two sub-reports due to the three different detail and summary levels.
Notes:
➢ In Munis, Division is called Location.
➢ Accounts are in the format 100-20-220-xxxxx where 100=Fund, 20=Department and 220=Division (Location).
➢ The Department-Divisions in the samples below are from Client’s old Eden system; these values are different in Munis.

TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Billilee Saengchalern, Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Approve the First Amendment to the Reimbursement Agreement with Ironhouse Sanitary District related to East Cypress Road Sanitary Sewer Improvements associated with CIP 247, 310, and 302 and Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement Background and Analysis
On February 28, 2023, the City of Oakley executed a Reimbursement Agreement with the Ironhouse Sanitary District (District) for the installation of a new 14-inch sanitary sewer forcemain as part of the East Cypress Road Widening Project, CIP 247. The original agreement amount of $566,500 covered all sanitary sewer pipeline installation costs for the first phase of the overall project, including associated traffic control and mobilization.
The City continued to pursue the design and construction of the second and third phase of East Cypress Road to complete the widening efforts for the entire segment between Knightsen Avenue to Bethel Island Road.
This three-phase, multi-year project has the following limits:
Phase 1 – CIP 247 (Knightsen Avenue to Jersey Island Road) Phase 2 – CIP 310 (Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) Canal Crossing) Phase 3 – CIP 302 (Jersey Island Road to Bethel Island Road) The project widens East Cypress Road to six lanes west of Jersey Island Road and four lanes east of Jersey Island Road, and includes construction of storm drain, water, and sewer infrastructure; landscaped median islands; buffered bike lanes; sidewalks; streetlights; and five signalized intersections (four new and one modification).
The new sanitary sewer forcemain is identified in the District’s Sewer Master Plan as a required facility to accommodate projected flows from the East Cypress Road corridor and is therefore included in all three phases of the of the East Cypress Road Project.
Approved and
Forwarded to the
City Council

City staff have collaborated with Ironhouse Sanitary District over several months to agree upon the cost of the District’s obligation for the sanitary sewer improvements.
An amendment to the original Reimbursement Agreement is necessary to:
1. Reimburse the City for additional eligible costs incurred during Phase 1 (CIP 247); and
2. Expand the scope of reimbursement to include the District’s share of costs for the sanitary sewer improvements for Phase 2 (CIP 310) and Phase 3 (CIP 302).
These improvements are critical to the overall infrastructure in this area to serve current and future residents in the eastern portion of our City and neighboring communities within unincorporated Contra Costa County.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Community Health and Safety and Community and Collaborative Partnership Goals to build the City’s infrastructure.
Fiscal Impact
The approval of this reimbursement agreement amendment will not impact the City’s General Fund or the City’s project budget as Ironhouse Sanitary District will pay for the sanitary sewer related improvements associated with CIP 247, 310, and 302 in an amount not to exceed $3,279,870.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution approving the First Amendment to the Reimbursement Agreement with Ironhouse Sanitary District for all three phases of the East Cypress Road project and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement.

The City’s Code Enforcement Division had an existing contract with a 3rd party company, Pacific Credit Services, to provide collection services for citations issued by Code Enforcement that were unpaid after the payment due date. In 2025 the City changed these services to another 3rd party company, Data Ticket.
The company, Data Ticket, has a different process than Pacific Credit Services regarding accepting payment on behalf of the City and the handling of appeals to citations. The City citations have been modified to align with Data Ticket’s process, but the citation appeal process was different than the existing City ordinance.
The existing City ordinance regarding the payment of citations/civil fines did not include the language for payment information to Data Ticket. The proposed ordinance amendment would specifically include the payment process and method for citizens to reference.
The existing City ordinance regarding appeal time for citations referenced business days and Data Ticket uses calendar days. The proposed ordinance amendment would increase the amount of days a citizen has to appeal a citation, but reference calendar days instead of business days. This proposed amendment would also update the appeal process in regard to submitting appeals, appeal payments, fee waivers and the appeal process. The citation appeal process will still be consistent with State Law.
Anaylsis
Oakley Municipal Code section 1.5.209(a) is being modified to direct a citee to submit their appeal of a citation to the 3rd party collection service, Data Ticket, instead of submitting the appeal directly to the City offices.
Oakley Municipal Code section 1.5.209(b) is being modified from requiring the appeal to be submitted within ten (10) business days of the issuance date of the citation to twenty (20) calendar days. This section has also been modified requiring the citee to submit the appeal online with Data Ticket.

Oakley Municipal Code section 1.5.209(c) is being modified from requiring a hardship waiver of the Advanced Deposit/Bail Fee to be submitted to the City within twenty (20) calendar days of the citation issuance date instead of ten (10) business days, if they cannot pay the fee. This section has also been modified to state the citee can obtain the hardship waiver from Data Ticket and shall submit the completed and signed waiver online to them.
Oakley Municipal Code section 1.5.210(a) is being modified to state that the appeal will be received online through Data Ticket instead of the City Clerk’s office.
Oakley Municipal Code section 1.5.210(f) is being modified to state if a citee wants to request a continuance of a hearing they need to submit the request online to Data Ticket at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the hearing instead of submitting the request to the City Clerk’s office at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the hearing.
Oakley Municipal Code section 1.5.210(g) is being modified to state that the appeal hearings will held via an online meeting style platform that the citee may attend on their own or at the City offices. This section also states they will be able to interact with the hearing officer and see all evidence.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
Approval of this modification to this ordinance is consistent with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+ Community and Economic Development Goal to insure codes are enforced consistently throughout the City, maintaining safe and healthy neighborhoods within the City of Oakley.
Fiscal Impact
Adoption of this ordinance will not result in impacts to the General Fund.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council waive the first reading and introduce the proposed ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY AMENDING SECTIONS 1.5.209 AND 1.5.210 OF THE OAKLEY MUNICIPAL CODE
CONCERNING REQUESTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS CHALLENGING
CITATIONS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Sections 1.5.209 and 1.5.210 of Oakley Municipal Code are amended as follows:
1.5.209 Request for Administrative Hearing.
a. Any person receiving an administrative citation may contest it by filing a request for an Administrative Hearing, except that a hearing for a building violation may not be requested unless and until a Notice of Noncorrection is issued. To obtain a hearing, the citee shall file a written request for an appeal through the City’s online processing service, accessible through a web link provided at www.citationprocessingcenter.com, or by delivering the request through United States mail to the Citation Processing Center, P.O.
Box 7275, Newport Beach, California 92658-7575. The request for a hearing shall indicate the grounds for contesting the citation and fine. A citee may contest the citation by denying that a violation occurred, by denying that it was not corrected within the correction period, if applicable, or by denying that the citee is a responsible person for the violation.
b. To be effective and complete, the request along with the Bail Fee which shall not exceed that of the citation amount must be submitted through or received by the online citation processing center within twenty (20) calendar days of the date the citation was issued. Upon receipt of the hearing request, Code Enforcement staff shall schedule an Administrative Hearing.
c. Any person who intends to request an Administrative Hearing and is financially unable to make the Bail Fee as required by this section, may file a request for a hardship waiver on a form provided by Citation Processing Center or Code Enforcement staff. i. The request for a hardship waiver shall be filed with the initial hearing request through the Citation Processing Center within twenty (20) calendar days of the date the citation was issued.
ii. The Director or designee may waive the requirement for a Bail Fee only if the citee submits to the Director or designee a signed, sworn affidavit, together with any supporting documents or materials, demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Director or designee the person’s actual financial inability to provide the Bail Fee in advance of the hearing. The person requesting the hardship waiver bears the 273
Ordinance No. XX-26 Page 2 of 4
burden of establishing by substantial evidence that he or she does not have the financial ability to make the Bail Fee.
iii. The Director shall either grant or deny the request within ten (10) regular business days of receipt of such request. If the Director denies the request for a hardship waiver, the Director shall issue a written decision on the request to the person requesting the waiver. The decision of the Director shall be final. A copy of the Director’s decision shall be mailed to the citee at the address provided in the request for the hardship waiver.
iv. If the request for a hardship waiver is denied, the citee shall submit the full Advance Deposit to the City within ten (10) regular business days after the date of the Director’s decision. If the request for a hardship waiver is granted, but the Administrative Citation is upheld by the Hearing Officer, the fine shall be due and payable within ten (10) working days after the date the Hearing Officer’s decision is issued.
d. The person requesting the Administrative Hearing may choose to file a written declaration with the Hearing Officer before the hearing or personally attend the hearing on the date and time specified by Citation Processing Center once the hearing request has been approved. A failure to file a written declaration before the hearing or personally attend the hearing will be considered a non-appearance. Non-appearance by the citee shall constitute an abandonment of the request, unless the hearing was continued pursuant to Section 1.5.210(f).
e. Failure to request a hearing in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall constitute a waiver of rights to contest an administrative citation and the imposition of a fine.
1.5.210 Hearing Procedures.
a. The Administrative Hearing shall be conducted by a Hearing Officer not more than forty-five (45) regular business days after the City’s online processing center, Citation Processing Center, receives the request for Administrative Hearing, unless continued with the consent of the citee.
b. The Enforcement Officer shall ensure that the pertinent citation records are delivered to the Hearing Officer for a citation set for a hearing. The Enforcement Officer shall also make available to the citee before the hearing a copy of any additional reports concerning the citation that are provided to the Hearing Officer.
c. The citee shall be given the opportunity to testify and to present evidence relevant to financial hardship or the code violation specified in the citation. A parent or legal guardian of a citee who is a juvenile, under 18 years of age, shall accompany the citee. d. The citation and any other reports prepared by the Enforcement Officer, or at his or her request, concerning the code violation or attempted correction of the code violation that are provided to the Hearing Officer shall be accepted by the Hearing Officer as prima facie evidence of the code violation and the facts stated in such documents. 274
Ordinance No. XX-26 Page 3 of 4
e. Neither the Enforcement Officer nor any other representative of the City shall be required to attend the hearing, nor shall the Hearing Officer require that there be submitted any evidence, other than the citation, that may exist among the public records of the City on the violation. However, any such appearance and/or submission may be made at the discretion of the Enforcement Officer or any City employee or agent. f. The Hearing Officer may continue a hearing if a request is made showing good cause by the citee or a representative of the City. All continuance requests shall either: (i) be made in person at the hearing by the citee or his or her representative if the citee is physically unable to attend, or (ii) be made by a written request received by the City’s online processing center, Citation processing Center, at least 48 hours before the hearing date. If the continuance is granted, a new hearing date shall be scheduled to take place within 45 days. If the continuance is denied, the hearing shall proceed then and there as scheduled, and if the citee is not present the request(s) shall be deemed abandoned in accordance with subsection h. below. The Hearing Officer’s decision is final and he or she shall either personally give the Notice of Decision to the citee or the representative if present at the end of the hearing or request that the notice be mailed by the Hearing Officer.
g. Hearings may be held via remote two-way audiovisual platforms so long as the platforms allow the citee to fully participate, interact with the Hearing Officer, see all City documentary evidence, and offer citee’s own documentary evidence for Hearing Officer consideration.
SECTION 2. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The City Council determines that the provisions of this ordinance are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the instant ordinance involves continuing administrative activities and thus is not a project, as CEQA defines, pursuant to Section 15378(b)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines. To the extent the adoption of this Ordinance constitutes a project, the City Council finds pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) that the project is exempt from environmental review because it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of the ordinance would not have any significant impact on the environment.
SECTION 3. Severability.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, the holding shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the City Council declares that it would have adopted each provision of this ordinance irrespective of the validity of any other provision.
SECTION 4. Effective Date and Posting.
This ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days from and after the date of its passage. The City Clerk shall cause the ordinance to be published within fifteen (15) days after its passage in a newspaper of general circulation, or by publishing a summary of the proposed ordinance, posting a certified copy of the proposed ordinance in the City 275
Ordinance No. XX-26 Page 4 of 4
Clerk’s Office at least five (5) days prior to the City Council meeting at which the ordinance is to be adopted, and within fifteen (15) days after its adoption, publishing a summary of the ordinance with the names of the Council Members voting for and against the ordinance.

SUBJECT: Report Regarding City Council Salaries and Request for Direction, if any, to amend the Oakley Municipal Code Concerning the Same Background and Analysis
At the City Council’s January 23, 2024 regular meeting, this office introduced an ordinance proposing legislative changes to Oakley Municipal Code (“OMC”)
2.1.006—Compensation of City Council. Senate Bill 329 (“SB 329”), which became effective on January 1, 2024, increased the maximum amount of Council salary that can be approved by city ordinance based on different population thresholds.
The ordinance proposed increasing the salary of each member of the Council up to $1,275 per month (the maximum rate for City populations between 35,001 and 50,000). After deliberation, the Council authorized a salary increase of $800 per month. The City Council adopted the ordinance reflecting the salary increase at its February 13, 2024 regular meeting. The salary increase took effect beginning in the current Council term that began in December of 2024.
Limitations on Salary Increases
Future automatic increases in salary are not permitted. However, SB 329 allows councilmember salaries to be increased beyond the specified maximums by ordinance or an amendment to an ordinance. The increases shall not exceed the greater of the following:
1. 5 percent per calendar year since the last adjustment, which would raise the monthly salary to $8821; or
2. An amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based on the California Consumer Price Index (“CCPI”), which would raise the monthly salary to about $848.
2 1 The effective date of the current salary was determined to be January 2025. Because the salary increase would become effective for the next Council term, beginning in December 2026, two years of 5% adjustments were made to calculate this number.
2 This estimated amount was determined by a different inflation calendar by accessing the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics calculator at https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm.

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US When the City Council authorized the salary increase at its January 23, 2024 regular meeting, members indicated a preference for a 5 percent annual adjustment. The purpose of this report is to confirm the Council’s desire to amend OMC 2.1.006 with another salary increase, and if so, whether the Council prefers a 5 percent adjustment or an amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based on the CCPI.
Open Session Requirement
If the City Council authorizes an increase in the City Council salary, special procedures apply beyond those that apply go general City ordinances. To comply with SB 329, the City Council must discuss any proposed ordinance, or amendment to an ordinance, to increase compensation in an open session with at least two regular meetings:
1. First Meeting: At the first meeting, the City must present the proposed ordinance with findings demonstrating the need for increased compensation.
2. Second Meeting: At least seven days after the first meeting, the City Council must hold a second meeting to consider adopting the ordinance.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The proposed action is consistent with The City’s Sustainable Organization Goal.
Fiscal Impact
If the City Council authorizes salary increases, there would be additional annual costs associated with councilmember salaries. The potential increases would depend on whether the Council authorizes salary increases and the amount of the increases authorized.
Staff Recommendation
The City Attorney requests that the City Council provide direction as to whether it requests that this office prepare an amendment to OMC 2.1.006—Compensation of City Council. If so, this Office also requests the Council provide direction as to whether it requests a 5 percent annual adjustment or an annual inflation adjustment based on the CCPI.
Inflation was calculated from January 2024 to February 2026 (the last month for which inflation date was available at the time of the calculation). The specific number was $847.64. 278

SUBJECT: 5801 Bridgehead Road Preliminary General Plan Amendment (PA 2026-001) - Work Session to discuss the merits of a potential project to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of an approximately 4.31-acre site from Commercial (“CO”) to Light Industrial (“LI”).
Summary
This is a work session on a request by Loewke Planning Associates (“Applicant”) to discuss the merits of a potential project to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation of a 4.31-acre parcel at 5801 Bridgehead Road, from Commercial (“CO”) to Light Industrial (“LI”). The property was previously used as a contractor’s yard. The property owner seeks a change to light industrial to meet perceived demand for those land uses. The parcel is zoned C (General Commercial) District.
APN: 051-052-049.

Land Use Background
In California, every property is guided by three interconnected land use frameworks.

long-range vision for how land should be used, such as: residential, commercial, industrial, or open space. A property is then assigned a more detailed zoning designation, which regulates specific development standards like building height, setbacks, and permitted uses consistent with the General Plan. Finally, when a business occupies a building, it must also comply with the building occupancy classification under the California Building Code, which ensures that the type of activity inside the structure, whether manufacturing, storage, office, or retail—meets safety and construction requirements. Together, these layers determine not only what can be built on a site, but also how the building can be used once constructed.
Many properties in Oakley were developed under Contra Costa County’s General Plan and Zoning requirements before the City's incorporation. When Oakley was incorporated, it established its own General Plan and Zoning Designations. While some matched the previous county designations, others were more visionary, creating situations where properties must either strictly adhere to their existing operations or redevelop. Alternatively, property owners can apply to change their land use designations. The applicant here has submitted this application to publicly discuss this as a future option.
Preliminary General Plan Amendment Process
The process of amending the City of Oakley 2020 General Plan ("General Plan") is subject to California Government Code ("GC") Sections 65350 - 65362, which apply to the preparation, adoption and amending of general plans and general plan elements.
The application process for a General Plan Land Use Amendment can come with significant costs when factoring in the Staff time involved in preparing documents, conducting analyses, holding public meetings, hiring consultants for technical and environmental studies and documents, and consulting with outside agencies. Since a General Plan Land Use Amendment is a legislative and discretionary action that sets the tone for all other land use decisions on a property, Staff encourages potential applicants to first file a Preliminary General Plan Amendment, or "PGPA." The purpose of the PGPA is to allow Staff to provide a brief description of the proposed amendment and provide a concept of the result of the land use change, as submitted by the applicant, to the City Council and Planning Commission. The applicant is provided a chance to present the request and provide additional insight on the background of their request.
EXISTING GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATION
The General Plan Land Use Designation for the project site is Commercial (“CO”). This designation provides for neighborhood, community, and regional-serving retail and service uses; limited office uses; restaurants; service stations; highway-oriented and 280

CITY HALL | 3231 Main Street, Oakley, CA 94561 3

visitor-serving commercial and lodging; auto-serving and heavy commercial uses; public and semi-public uses; public gathering facilities, and similar and compatible uses.
The site is zoned C (General Commercial) District. The purpose of the C District is to create and maintain major commercial centers accommodating a broad range of commercial uses of community-wide or regional significance typically found adjacent to or along major travel corridors, such as Main Street, O’Hara Avenue, Laurel Road and Empire Avenue. Typical uses will vary widely in size and purpose and include performance of services, large-scale grocery and convenience stores, professional offices, restaurants, laundry facilities, and other uses of similar character and impacts.
PROPOSED LAND USE DESIGNATION
The General Plan Land Use Designation proposed for discussion by the applicant is Light Industrial (LI) – This designation provides for limited fabrication, manufacturing, processing, packaging and assembling uses; wholesale, distribution, warehousing and storage uses; vehicle and machinery repair; research and development; industrial parks; public/semi-public uses and similar and compatible uses. Heavy industrial uses emit significant amounts of smoke, noise, light and/or pollutants are not allowed. Uses that are incompatible with residential uses due to noise, vibration, or other characteristics are not permitted in locations that may impact existing or future residential development.
The LI General Plan land use designation is intended to implement the corresponding LI zoning district. It is important to note that the LI zoning district permits not only light industrial uses, but also most commercial uses that are allowed in the City’s commercial zoning districts, such as the subject property’s existing C District designation.
PROJECT SITE
The project site is a 4.31-acre, currently vacant parcel that historically functioned as a contractor’s storage yard and was initially developed after 1978. Existing conditions consist primarily of bare soil and a non-potable water well. The site is fully fenced and is accessed from a single driveway connection to Bridgehead Road.
Vegetation on-site is limited, with only a few scattered trees. The property is bordered by the Sandy Point Mobile Home Park to the south, State Route 160 to the west, the BNSF railway and a PG&E corporation yard to the north, and vineyards to the east across Bridgehead Road.

Figure 2 – Streetview of Project Site (before it was cleared) This area of Oakley has been planned primarily for a mix of commercial and industrial uses under the City’s General Plan. Several large parcels north of the railway tracks are designated Light Industrial, largely due to the Oakley Logistics Center. Additional parcels are designated Utilities, and three parcels are designated Business Park. Staff also notes that a separate application has been recently approved to change the General Plan land use designation of the large property east of the project site across Bridgehead Road to Light Industrial.
Figure 3 – Existing and Proposed General Plan Land Use Designations (Red is Commercial, light blue is Light Industrial)
APPLICATION PURPOSE
The applicant indicates that demand for uses consistent with the current General Plan designation has been limited. Accordingly, the applicant is seeking preliminary City input on a potential amendment to a Light Industrial designation as an alternative land use framework for the site.

PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
On February 3, 2026, a work session on this item was held by the Planning Commission. The role of the Planning Commission was to receive the Staff Report from Staff, in addition to public testimony from the applicant, the public, and any interested parties. Additionally, the Commission was to provide feedback on the preliminary proposal, which would then be passed on to the City Council. The Planning Commission generally expressed support for the land use designation change, with two commissioners clarifying that they’d prefer to see the full application come in with a development proposal and not just a general plan amendment. No residents or other interested parties spoke on the item or provided written comments.
Assessment
Amending the General Plan designation to Light Industrial would make a rezone application to the LI (Light Industrial) District possible, which would then authorize uses permitted in the LI District (Attachment 3), subject to zoning ordinance regulations. The LI District allows a range of uses such as auto repair, contractor yards, warehouses, and light-manufacturing - while more intensive or potentially impactful activities (e.g., storage without retail, large recycling, boat storage, certain marine-related industries, and uses generating notable dust, fumes, noise, vibration, or bright light) may be permitted only with approval of a conditional use permit.
The LI district also permits many of the same uses found in the City’s commercial zones. Uses permitted without a conditional use permit in the Retail Business (RB) district can be established in the LI District. While uses currently permitted in the C (General Commercial) District (Attachment 4) are permitted with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Any new development, whether commercial or light industrial, would be subject to current code requirements and would involve substantial site improvements. Future development will also receive environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
Holding an advisory work session is consistent with the goals in the section of the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+ entitled, “Community and Economic Development Goal”.
Reviewing applications for compliance with Oakley’s development standards ensures thoughtful growth.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact. This is an applicant funded account. All Staff time and City of Oakley generated materials are charged to the account. 283
