Treasurer’s Report for the Month of December 2025
The City Treasurer has evaluated the City’s investments and has formalized an investment plan, which includes investments authorized by the Statement of Investment Policy, which was adopted by City Council in June 2025. The investment plan was developed within the framework of the three basic requirements for our investments:

1. Safety- Secure the City’s principal that is invested,

2. Liquidity- provide sufficient cash flow for ongoing operations, and

3. Yield – obtain a reasonable rate of return on the City’s investments.

Benchmarks
Benchmarks are used to measure how the City’s portfolio is performing compared to other measures.

Staff have chosen to compare the portfolio to two benchmarks: The County of Ventura Investment Pool and the US Government 2-yr Treasuries. Benchmarks may be changed if it is determined that a different benchmark would be more appropriate for the City’s use. Historical information for the City’s portfolio and the chosen benchmarks for the past five years is illustrated in the chart to the right. Historical information for the City’s portfolio and the chosen benchmarks for the past five years is illustrated in the chart below.

The weighted average yield to maturity and the weighted average DTM for the City’s investments portfolio on December 31, 2025, were 3.70% and 340 days. By comparison, the weighted average yield to maturity and the weighted average DTM for the County of Ventura portfolio were 4.01% and 317 days, and 2-yr Treasury were 3.50% and 720 days.

Impact of Market Changes on Investment Earnings and Values Investments are purchased at par value and market interest rates may vary from the investment’s actual current yield. Changes in the market value of investments result in “unrealized gains or losses” on the investment. Increasing market interest rate environments generally result in an

unrealized loss while decreasing market interest rates generally result in an unrealized gain.

Unrealized gains and losses are temporary adjustments to the carrying value of the investment and do not become permanent unless the investment is sold prior to maturity. Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 31 (GASB 31) requires the City to adjust the value of investments to the market value in the annual financial statements. Because CDs are purchased with a fixed rate of interest until maturity and the temporary adjustments cumulatively net to zero by the time that the CDs mature, the GASB 31 adjustment can create significant distortions in revenues throughout the life of the CD.

Planned Investment Instruments
 Certificates of deposit (CDs) are purchased at par value and earn a constant rate of return throughout the life of the investment, regardless of the current market value of the investment. The CDs are fully insured by the federal government. The CDs may be sold prior to maturity at the current market value, which could result in a realized gain or loss on the sale; however, as the CDs move closer to maturity, the fixed interest rate will generally be higher than comparable investments with the same remaining term. Additionally, the interest earned over the life of the CD will generally offset any potential loss on the sale, thus protecting the City’s principal. CDs are primarily subject to interest rate and reinvestment risk (see below).
 The Local Agency Investment Pool (LAIF) is a Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) containing investments allowed by the California Government Code and administered by the California State Treasurer for local agencies to invest idle cash. LAIF funds may be accessed on the day that a withdrawal is requested and earn interest based upon the monthly yield of the pool. Interest is accrued monthly but is paid quarterly. These assets are primarily subject to credit risk (see below).

Credit, Interest Rate, and Reinvestment Risk
 Credit risk is the possibility that the deterioration in the underlying creditworthiness of an issuer will adversely affect the value of its outstanding bonds or that a bond issuer will fail to make timely payments of interest or principal on its outstanding bonds (default). A decline in a bond issuer’s credit rating, or creditworthiness, may cause prices for its outstanding bonds to decline. Typically, the higher the credit risk, the higher the interest rate on the investment.
 Interest rate risk is the possibility that a fixed-rate investment will decline in value because of a rise in interest rates. Whenever investors buy securities that offer a fixed rate of return (such as CDs), they are exposing themselves to interest rate risk. In general, investment prices vary inversely with market interest rates. The change in the price of an investment depends on several factors, including its maturity date. In general, investments with longer maturities are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than investments with shorter maturities.
 Reinvestment Risk is the risk that falling interest rates will lead to a decline in cash flow from an investment when its principal and interest payments are reinvested at lower rates. In a declining interest rate environment, investors who have investments maturing face the difficult task of 28 Attachment A

investing the proceeds in instruments with equal or greater interest rates than the matured investment. As a result, they are often forced to purchase securities that do not provide the same level of income, unless they take on more credit or market risk and buy investments with lower credit ratings.

TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ben Harvey, City Manager
Lindy Palmer, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: January 27, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of Proposed 2025 Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey and Retaining, Establishing, or Decreasing Posted Speed Limits on Certain Streets

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt proposed Ordinance No. 970 adopting the 2025 Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey and retaining, establishing and decreasing posted speed limits on certain streets within the City of Ojai.

DISCUSSION
At the January 13, 2026, meeting, staff introduced Ordinance No. 970 retaining, establishing and decreasing posted speed limits on certain streets within the City of Ojai.

The ordinance is now before the City Council for its second reading and adoption.

On November 18, 2025, staff provided a draft Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) to address community concerns regarding speeding and enforcement. The primary purpose of the survey is to support traffic calming measures while ensuring compliance with California law. Under California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22352, an E&TS report must be conducted and approved by Ordinance in order to adopt new speed limits.

The findings of the survey show that most streets will retain their current speed limits.

However, reductions are recommended on specific streets: Country Club Drive, Foothill Road and Fairview Road with recommendations to reduce their speed limits from 35 mph to 30 mph, and Cuyama Road with a recommendation to reduce its speed limit from 25 mph to 20 mph.

Therefore, staff recommend that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 970, the 2025 Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey and retain, establish or decrease posted speed limits on certain streets within the City of Ojai. The new speed limits will take effect 30 days after the adoption of this Ordinance and become enforceable thereafter. New signage will be installed after the effective date of the ordinance.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS ALIGNMENT
This effort aligns with City Council Goals of “Infrastructure Maintenance and Improvement” (#4) and “Public Safety” (#5).

Citywide Engineering and TraƯic Survey

INTRODUCTION
This Engineering and TraƯic Survey (E&TS) Report provides the technical basis for establishing and enforcing speed limits on selected streets within the City of Ojai (City). The survey covers 20 street segments designated as collector streets in the City’s Circulation Element of the General Plan. The E&TS was authorized by the City and independently prepared by LSY Enterprise, Inc., an engineering consulting firm. The Ventura County SheriƯ’s Department enforces the posted speed limits on City roadways using radar or other speed measuring devices.

As defined in Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC), an E&TS considers a range of factors including prevailing vehicle speeds, adjacent land use, collision history, pedestrian and bicycle activity, and general roadway traƯic conditions. Each surveyed segment is field reviewed to identify conditions or roadway characteristics that may not be readily apparent to motorists. These observations, combined with statistical data and collision history, provide the basis for determining speed zones that are safe, reasonable, and appropriate for existing roadway conditions.

Pursuant to CVC Section 40802, E&TS reports must be updated every five years to remain valid for radar enforcement. The validity period of a survey may be extended to seven years if the City’s enforcement oƯicers have completed a 24-hour radar operator course [CVC 40802(c)(2)(B)(i)(I)], or up to fourteen years if a licensed traƯic engineer certifies that no significant changes in roadway or traƯic conditions have occurred [CVC 40802(c)(2)(B)(i)(II)].

These provisions ensure that posted speed limits reflect current conditions and that radar enforcement remains legally defensible. Once an E&TS has expired, radar-based enforcement constitutes a “speed trap” under CVC 40802, rendering related testimony and evidence inadmissible in court.

Speed limits are established primarily to protect public safety and uniform driver behavior.

Consistent with the California Manual of Uniform TraƯic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) 2014 Edition, Revision 9, speed zones are generally set at or near the 85th percentile speed, defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of vehicles travel under free-flow conditions. Speed limits established on this basis reflect the collective judgement of the majority of motorists regarding a safe and reasonable speed, rather than the judgment of a few individuals. This approach produces consistent and enforceable speed zones throughout the City.

Citywide Engineering and TraƯic Survey

ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY METHODOLOGY
This E&TS was prepared in accordance with the procedures and guidelines established in the CAMUTCD, 2014 Edition, Revision 9, and the CVC. This study followed CA MUTCD regulations in setting speed limits by applying established methods for traƯic surveys, analyzing prevailing speeds, and evaluating roadway and safety conditions. The methodology consists of five key components as described below: data collection, field review, collision history, engineering evaluation, and documentation and certification.

1. DATA COLLECTION
Existing vehicle speeds were surveyed by a certified radar operator using a calibrated radar unit from an unmarked vehicle. Data was collected under favorable weather and roadway conditions to capture typical free-flow operating speeds. Surveys were conducted on weekdays during oƯ-peak hours to minimize the influence of congestion. Each survey segment included a statistically representative sample of vehicles, reflecting prevailing traƯic conditions. The collected data was analyzed to develop a speed distribution profile, with particular emphasis on identifying the 85th percentile speed- the speed at or below which 85 percent of drivers are traveling. The analysis also identified the 10-mph pace, 50th percentile speed, and percent of vehicles within the pace, which together describe the overall characteristics of the traƯic speed distribution. 85th Percentile Speed
The 85th percentile speed, or critical speed, is defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of vehicles are traveling. This measure serves as the primary indicator of the speed that the majority of safe and reasonable drivers consider appropriate under typical roadway and environmental conditions. In practice, the posted speed limit is generally set to the nearest 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed, unless other factors warrant a lower limit. Setting speed limits based on this principle allows law enforcement to focus on drivers who deviate significantly from prevailing safe speeds. For example, if the 85th percentile speed is 48 mph, the posted speed limit would be set at 50 mph; if it is 47 mph, the limit would be 45 mph. 10 mph Pace
The 10-mph pace is the 10-mph range that contains the largest number of recorded vehicle speeds. It indicates the dispersion, or spread, of speeds within the sample.

Generally, speed limits should fall within this 10-mph pace. However, conditions not readily apparent to drivers, or statutory requirements such as those in Residence Districts, may justify setting limits below the pace.
43 City of Ojai 3
Citywide Engineering and TraƯic Survey
50th Percentile Speed
The median speed, or 50th Percentile Speed, represents the midpoint of the observed speed distribution. In other words, 50 percent of vehicles travel faster and 50 percent travel slower. This measure reflects the central tendency of speeds on a roadway. In general, speed limits should not be set below the 50th Percentile Speed, as doing so would result in more than half of drivers exceeding the posted limit.

Percent of Vehicles in Pace Speed
The percentage of vehicles traveling within the 10-mph pace indicates how closely grouped the traƯic speeds are. A higher percentage suggests a more uniform flow of traƯic, which is generally associated with lower collision risk. Typically, between 60 and 90 percent of vehicles fall within the 10-mph pace range.

2. FIELD REVIEW
Each roadway segment was field inspected by a qualified traffic engineer to identify physical or environmental roadway conditions that may not be readily apparent to motorists. In accordance with the CA MUTCD, if such conditions are determined to be significant, a speed limit reduction of up to 5 mph below the basic speed limit may be justified. However, caution should be exercised when establishing limits more than 5 mph below this threshold to maintain consistency and driver compliance.

As part of this study, LSY Enterprise, Inc. conducted field reviews for each of the 20 street segments. The firm evaluated factors influencing traffic operations and safety, including roadway geometry, visibility, driveway density, roadside development, and other conditions not immediately apparent to drivers. These field observations supplement statistical speed data and assist in identifying conditions that may justify adjustments to the recommended speed limit.

Field data collected and reviewed as part of the E&TS include:

1. Segment length and alignment;

2. Level of pedestrian and bicycle activity;

3. TraƯic flow characteristics, including locations of regulatory traƯic control devices;

4. Number of lanes and other channelization/striping factors;

5. Frequency of intersections and driveways;

6. Roadway condition, bumps and dips;

7. Obstructions to driver/pedestrian visibility;
44 City of Ojai 4
Citywide Engineering and TraƯic Survey

8. Land use and proximity of schools;

9. Consistency with existing speed zones; and,

10. Any other unusual conditions or hazards not readily apparent to the driver.

3. COLLISION HISTORY
The E&TS forms include a summary of available collection data for each street segment. To assess the relative safety of a roadway, calculated collision rates are typically compared with statewide average collision rates for similar roadway classifications. Segments exhibiting collision rates higher than the statewide average may warrant further consideration when establishing speed limits or identifying potential safety improvements.

Collision records were reviewed for the 20 street segments included in this study. However, Average Daily TraƯic data, which is required to calculate collision rates, was not available.

Therefore, collision rates were not considered a determining factor for the surveyed streets and are not presented in this report. However, collision frequency, collision types, and contributing factors of reported collisions were reviewed and considered in the overall engineering evaluation of setting speed limits.

4. ENGINEERING EVALUATION
The engineering evaluation combines speed survey data, field observations, and collision information to establish safe and reasonable speed limits for each street segment. The 85th percentile speed serves as the primary basis for recommended limits, supported by the 10- mph pace, 50th percentile speed, percent of vehicles in pace speed, and traƯic uniformity.

Field inspections consider roadway geometry, lane width, sight distance, pedestrian and bicycle activity, driveway density, and regulatory devices. Collision history is reviewed qualitatively to identify potential hazards, and final recommended speeds balance observed driver behavior, roadway conditions, and safety considerations while maintaining consistency with adjacent segments. All recommendations are reviewed and certified by a licensed TraƯic Engineer in accordance with the CA MUTCD and CVC to provide a defensible basis for enforcement.

5. DOCUMENTATION AND CERTIFICATION
All data and analyses supporting the recommended speed limits are documented in this report. A licensed traƯic engineer has reviewed and certified the evaluation to ensure compliance with CVC and CA MUTCD requirements. This certification establishes a defensible basis for enforcement and ensures that posted speed limits are both safe and legally sustainable.

E&TS RECOMMENDATIONS
This E&TS presents recommended speed limits for 20 street segments in the City of Ojai, as summarized in Table 1. The recommendations are based on a thorough evaluation of available data and provide a prima facie speed limit for each segment. These limits are intended to inform motorists and assist enforcement personnel in identifying reasonable and safe travel speeds under prevailing roadway and traƯic conditions. Where appropriate, uniform speed limits are recommended along continuous roadway segments to promote consistency and support driver compliance.

APPLICABLE VEHICLE CODE SECTIONS
BUSINESS DISTRICT CVC 235
A "business district" is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto (a) upon one side of which highway, for a distance of 600 feet, 50 percent or more of the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by buildings in use for business, or (b) upon both sides of which highway, collectively, for a distance of 300 feet, 50 percent or more of the contiguous property fronting thereon is so occupied. A business district may be longer than the distances specified in this section if the above ratio of buildings in use for business to the length of the highway exists.

RESIDENCE DISTRICT CVC 515
A "residence district" is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto, other than a business district, (a) upon one side of which highway, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures, or (b) upon both sides of which highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures. A residence district may be longer than one-quarter of a mile if the above ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway exists.

MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT (CVC 22349)
Except as provided in CVC Section 22356, the maximum speed for any passenger vehicle is 65 miles per hour (mph). On two-lane, undivided highways, drivers may not go faster than 55 mph unless a higher limit is posted based on an E&TS.

BASIC SPEED LAW (CVC 22350)
The CVC establishes regulations governing the posting and enforcement of speed zones.

These regulations are based on the principle that speed limits should reflect prevailing traƯic conditions and typical driver behavior. This principle is known as the “Basic Speed Law.” All fifty states apply a form of the Basic Speed Law in their traƯic regulations. In California, CVC Section 22350 defines it as follows:
“No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traƯic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.” 48 City of Ojai 8
Citywide Engineering and TraƯic Survey
This law recognizes that driving conditions vary widely with time and location. Therefore, no fixed rule can adequately address all conditions. Drivers are expected to adjust their speed according to the circumstances they encounter, relying on their own judgement with minimal intervention from law enforcement. The Basic Speed Law is founded on the belief that most drivers will modify their behavior appropriately when they are aware of their surroundings.

Speed limits are also established to inform motorists of conditions that may not be readily apparent. For this reason, determining appropriate speed limits requires analysis of collision history, roadway conditions, traƯic characteristics, and land use. Speed limit changes are usually made in coordination with physical changes in roadway conditions or roadside developments. Short speed limit zones of less than one-half mile in length should be avoided to reduce confusion.

It is generally accepted that successful enforcement depends on voluntary compliance by the majority of drivers. Enforcement eƯorts typically focus on drivers whose behavior is clearly inconsistent with the normal flow of traƯic.

PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS (CVC 22352)
The CVC establishes prima facie speed limits, which, “on the face of it”, are reasonable and prudent under normal conditions when no other speed limit is posted. The law sets a 15 mph limit in alleys, at blind intersections where visibility is restricted to less than 100 feet, and at blind railroad crossings where visibility is less than 400 feet in both directions. A 25 mph limit in business and residential districts, when driving near schools while children ae present, and adjacent to senior centers.

INCREASE OF LOCAL LIMITS (CVC 22357)
Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traƯic survey that a speed greater than 25 miles per hour would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traƯic and would be reasonable and safe upon any street other than a state highway otherwise subject to a prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour, the local authority may, by ordinance, determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 miles per hour or a maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traƯic and is reasonable and safe. The declared prima facie or maximum speed limit shall be eƯective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street and shall not thereafter be revised except upon the basis of an engineering and traƯic survey. This section does not apply to any 25- mile-per-hour prima facie limit which is applicable when passing a school building or the 49 City of Ojai 9
Citywide Engineering and TraƯic Survey
grounds thereof or when passing a senior center or other facility primarily used by senior citizens.

DECREASE OF LOCAL LIMITS (CVC 22358)
Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traƯic survey that the limit of 65 miles per hour is more than is reasonable or safe upon any portion of any street other than a state highway where the limit of 65 miles per hour is applicable, the local authority may by ordinance determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, or 25 miles per hour, whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traƯic and is reasonable and safe, which declared prima facie limit shall be eƯective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street.

DOWNWARD SPEED ZONING PRIMA FACIE 25 MPH (CVC 22358.4)
Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traƯic survey that the prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour established by subdivision(b) of section 22352 is more than is reasonable or safe, the local authority may, by ordinance or resolution, determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 20 or 15 miles per hour, whichever is justified as the appropriate speed limit by that survey.

DOWNWARD SPEED ZONING (CVC 22358.5)
It is the intent of the Legislature that physical conditions such as width, curvature, grade and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning, as the basic rule of CVC Section 22350 is suƯicient regulation as to such conditions. 85th PERCENTILE, ROUNDING, 5 MPH SPEED REDUCTION (CVC 22358.6) When establishing a posted speed limit, it must be set at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traƯic, as determined by an E&TS. If the nearest 5-mph increment would require rounding up, the speed limit may instead be rounded down by 5 mph to enhance safety and account for local conditions. In such cases, the posted speed may therefore be 5 mph lower than the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th percentile speed.

The provisions of CVC 22358.6 were established to ensure consistency and transparency in setting speed limits while allowing limited flexibility for engineering judgment when safety considerations warrant a slightly lower speed.
50 City of Ojai 10
Citywide Engineering and TraƯic Survey
ADDITIONAL 5 MPH SPEED REDUCTION (CVC 22358.7)
After completing an E&TS, if the speed limit is still more than reasonable or safe, the local authority may, by ordinance, determine and declare a prima facie speed limit that has been reduced an additional five miles per hour for either of the following reasons:
(1) The portion of highway has been designated as a safety corridor. A local authority shall not deem more than one-fifth of their streets as safety corridors. (2) The portion of highway is adjacent to any land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians, especially those from vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused.

RETAIN CURRENTLY ADOPTED OR RESTORE IMMEDIATELY PRIOR SPEED LIMIT (CVC 22358.8)
Currently adopted speed limit or immediately prior adopted speed limit shall only be retained, by ordinance, if after completing an E&TS, local agency finds that the speed limit is still more than reasonable or safe, and that speed limit was established with an E&TS and if a registered engineer has evaluated the section of highway and determined that no additional general purpose lanes have been added to the roadway since completion of the traƯic survey that established the prior speed limit.

SPEED TRAP AND LOCAL STREET EXEMPTION (CVC 40802)
Speed Trap
A "speed trap" is either of the following:
(1) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel the known distance. (2) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed limit that is provided by this code or by local ordinance under paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 22352, or established under Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3, if that prima facie speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traƯic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation, and enforcement of the speed involves the use of radar or any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving objects. This paragraph does not apply to a local street, road, school zone, senior zone, business activity district, or speed limit adopted under Section 22358.7 or 22358.8.
51 City of Ojai 11
Citywide Engineering and TraƯic Survey
Local Street Exemption
Local streets are exempt from the engineering and traƯic survey requirement. The speed limit for these streets do not require special jurisdiction. CVC Section 40802 (b)(1) states as follows:

For purposes of this section, a local street or road is one that is functionally classified as “local” on the “California Road System Maps,” that are approved by the Federal Highway Administration and maintained by the Department of Transportation. When a street or road does not appear on the “California Road System Maps,” it may be defined as a “local street or road” if it primarily provides access to abutting residential property and meets the following three conditions:
(a) Roadway width of not of more than 40 feet;
(b) Not more than one-half of a mile of uninterrupted length. Interruptions shall include oƯicial traƯic control signals, as defined in CVC Section 445; and (c) Not more than one traƯic lane in each direction.

Administrative Report
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ben Harvey, City Manager
MEETING DATE: January 27, 2025
SUBJECT: Confirm Appointment to Vacancy on the Arts Commission

RECOMMENDATION
Confirm nomination of applicant Bradley Tabach-Bank as Arts Commissioner to fill a new vacancy on the Arts Commission.

DISCUSSION
The City Council has the option to designate the Arts Commission as a 5, 6, or 7-member commission, following the establishment of the Commission in the Municipal Code. The code states that the Arts Commission is, “consisting of seven members, or such lesser number as may be appointed by the City Council.”
After the Nominating Committee (Mayor Gilman, Commission Chair West, and Council Member Rule) agreed to activate the sixth seat and fill the new vacancy, the City performed public outreach included updating the Maddy Act Local Appointments List, updating the City website for Commission Vacancies, posting public notice of the vacancies, advertising in The Ojai Valley News, and providing communications to the full Council, Commissioners, and staff.

Another separate vacancy does currently exist on the Arts Commission as the result of a recent resignation, but that “mid-term” vacancy must follow the same rules of nomination for that seat alone. The City’s Local Appointments (“Maddy Act”) List, which is mandated and updated throughout the year on the City website, outlines the commission seats.

Ojai Municipal Code’s Arts Commission section 4-16.101 outlines the nomination process and the number of members. Following the code, the rotating Council Member for this Nominating Committee, District 1 Council Member Leslie Rule, served to fill this new vacancy.

This process has been followed for each candidate under consideration. As required by Ojai Municipal Code, the Nominating Committee unanimously recommends:

1. Bradley Tabach-Bank (Appointment to vacancy, January 2026 - May 2030) If the City Council rejects this nominee, the nominating committee will reconvene to select another candidate. This process continues until a nominee is confirmed. 107

Administrative Report
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ben Harvey, City Manager
Bethany Burgess, City Attorney
Lucas Seibert, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: January 27, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving Agreement to Extend Timeline to Complete Surplus Property Disposal with Ojai Bungalows LP

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a resolution (Attachment A) approving the Agreement to Extend Timeline to Complete Surplus Property Disposal with Ojai Bungalows LP and authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement.

SUMMARY
On December 18, 2023, the Ojai City Council unanimously approved a Settlement Agreement Concerning Ojai Bungalows Project with Ojai Bungalows LP (the “Developer”), in order to resolve pending litigation filed by the developer against the City related to four residential housing projects: the Cottages Among the Flowers, Mallory Way Bungalows, Montgomery Street Housing, and 510 East Ojai Avenue—totaling 98 new units. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the City agreed to time extensions for the projects and the Developer agreed to: (1) reconfigure certain aspects of the projects to preserve and rehabilitate existing residential structures at the project sites, (2) provide residential tenant protections for then-current residents of the properties, (3) commit to providing a certain number of units for affordable housing to very low-income, low-income, and moderateincome tenants, (4) develop an unpaved public trail, and (5) file a landmark application for the Mallory Way project. As additional consideration and in order to facilitate the agreements related to the reconfiguration of the project, the City agreed to, subject to all requirements of state law, convey the “paper street” adjacent to the Mallory Way Bungalows project to the Developer.

The Settlement Agreement significantly increases affordable housing beyond state requirements, providing 31 deed-restricted affordable units (including very low-, low-, and moderate-income units), makes the Montgomery Street project 100 percent affordable, and helps the City meet or exceed its Regional Housing Needs Allocation obligations.

Additionally, as noted above, the Developer committed to tenant protections, including 111

Page 2 of 5 ends

equivalent rents, relocation assistance, appropriate sizing of units to maintain affordability, preservation of neighborhood character, and protection of mature oak trees, advancing both housing affordability and community preservation in Ojai. A Frequently Asked Questions document was created after City Council approval of the Settlement Agreement and is Attachment B.

In order to effectuate the City’s commitments in the Settlement Agreement related to the conveyance of the “paper street” the City must comply with all applicable requirements under California laws and regulations and City ordinances related to the potential vacation of the “paper street” and conveyance of surplus land under the California Surplus Lands Act. Before commencing the formal steps related to the land conveyance, however, the City needed to complete title research and other necessary evaluations and prepare a survey of the “paper street.” The City requires additional time to complete this preliminary due diligence and the legal requirements associated with the land conveyance, including submission of the Council’s proposed action under the Surplus Land Act to the California Department of Housing and Community Development. After discussions with the Developer, the Developer agreed to grant an extension for 120 days from the date of approval of the Agreement, and a further extension of up to an additional 120 days, if needed by the City. The requested 120-day extension will allow additional time to complete outstanding tasks associated with the Settlement Agreement, more specifically related to the Surplus Land Act and the information and process associated with this action.

This item does not approve any action related to the conveyance of the paper street, it only extends the deadline for the City to complete these activities.

Furthermore, this action is not considered to be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15060(c) because this action will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and this action is not a project as defined in section 15378. Pursuant to section 15378(b)(5) organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment are not considered a project pursuant to CEQA. Approval of this agreement will not result in direct or interest physical changes, as it simply gives the City additional time to complete the activities discussed above, therefore no further environmental action is necessary.

DISCUSSION
The Ojai Bungalows Settlement Agreement was approved by the City Council as a means of resolving litigation and establishing a framework for moving forward with the project(s) under agreed-upon conditions. Since approval, City staff and the Developer have been actively working to ensure compliance with the terms of the Agreement.

Granting the extension would do the following:
 Allows continued good-faith implementation of the agreement;  Avoids unnecessary procedural or legal complications; and 112

Page 3 of 5 ends

 Preserves the City’s rights and remedies under the original agreement All other terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement remain unchanged. The Settlement Agreement is Attachment C.

Overview of Settlement Agreement Implementation
While significant progress has been made associated with the agreement, items remain outstanding and require additional time to complete. The current expiration date for Mallory Way, does not allow sufficient time to finalize these remaining actions.

COMPLETED |
 Cottages Among the Flowers (312 W Aliso Street – 12 units) – Grading and Building Permits issued in February 2024. These permits included the water channel work, phase I (two units accessing Aliso Street), and two new ADU’s above the five-car garage. Phase II is set to commence in the coming weeks and work has just begun on the right-of-way modifications (curb, landscape, and sidewalk) along Aliso Street.

These ongoing actions remain consistent with the terms of the Settlement Agreement.  304 South Montgomery Street (15 units) – Reviewed by Planning Commission March 2024, and approved by City Council April 23, 2024. On December 31, 2025 Building and Fire provided approval for the issuance of permits to commence work. With this approval the project is ready and awaits permit issuance and for work to commence for this site. This project is shovel ready. These actions are consistent with the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
 510 East Ojai Avenue (13 units) – The mixed-use project was reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission April 17, 2024. Submitted for Plan Check review for building, fire, and engineering in December 2025. Currently in plan check status with Building Division and Ventura County Fire Department and awaiting first round of responses to the plans. These actions are consistent with the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
 412 Mallory Way (58 units) – Reviewed and commented on by the Historic Preservation Commission in March 2025. The Commission’s comments were focused on the historic landmark designation, Mills Act, unit sizes between 440-550 square feet, and historic resources report associated with the preservation of the existing single-story building design and internal circulation of the site. The project was also reviewed by the Planning Commission on May 21, and July 16, 2025. The Commission’s comments were focused on process, site layout, internal circulation, existing drainage, stop signs at Mallory Way/Aliso Street, a recommendation to City Council for approval took place at the Planning Commission’s July meeting. 113

Page 4 of 5 ends

These actions are mostly consistent with the terms of the Settlement Agreement. The individual unit size limitation outlined in the Terms of the Agreement No. 1(b)(iv)(b) provided a range between 500-600 square feet in area.

PENDING |
 Cottages Among the Flowers (312 West Aliso Street – 12 units) – Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV still remain for this project to reach completion. Additionally, the drainage area traversing through Mallory Way requires a Lake and Streambed Alteration Program agreement pursuant to the California Fish and Game Government Code Section 1602. The application has been submitted by the developer, and are working through this process.

Also, an affordable housing agreement is also nearing completion for consideration by the City Council at a future meeting.
 304 South Montgomery Street (15 units) – The project is shovel ready and awaits the developer’s payment of impact fees and building permit fees. Once these are paid, permits for the grading, building, and right-of-way work may commence.  510 East Ojai Avenue (13 units) – The project is currently in plan check with the Building Division and Ventura County Fire Department. This plan check review process is anticipated to take a few months.
 412 Mallory Way (58 units) – Requires satisfaction of the Surplus Land Act and other legal requirements related to conveyance of the paper street and project consideration by the City Council. The project includes the 58 units (includes the existing preservation/renovation of the 25-units), landmark designation, Mills Act, and Surplus Land Act consideration for the Mallory Way unimproved Right-of-Way, between Eucalyptus Street and Libbey Ave/Raymond St.

SURPLUS LAND ACT |
The first step in the process included a title search for this project, which has been ongoing with support from the developer, various title companies, the City Attorney’s Office, Ventura County Staff and City Staff. The research has taken much longer than anticipated, but has resulted in obtaining the grant deed for the unimproved right-of-way. Community Development staff is now working closely with a licensed land surveyor (Jeremy Henry) to confirm the location of the unimproved Mallory Way area. Once the survey is complete and recorded with Ventura County, then the Surplus Land Act and property conveyance process will commence. Staff is also working closely with a title company to obtain a chain of title report for the Mallory Way unimproved right-of-way.

WHEREAS, the Settlement Agreement pertains to projects located on properties at 312 West Aliso Street, 304 South Montgomery Street, 510 East Ojai Avenue, and 412 Mallory Way; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ojai requires additional time to complete certain obligations of the City arising under the Settlement Agreement and the developer of the project, Ojai Bungalows LP, has agreed to extend the City’s time for completion of such activities, all as further described in the Agreement to Extend Timeline to Complete Surplus Property Disposal with Ojai Bungalows LP, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference (the “Extension Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the approval of the Extension Agreement will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and this action is not a “project” as defined in section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and is therefore not considered to be subject to CEQA pursuant to section 15060(c) of the CEQA Guidelines; and

I, Weston Montgomery, Chief Deputy City Clerk of the City of Ojai, do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution, City of Ojai Resolution No. 26-___, was passed and adopted by the Ojai City Council at its regular meeting on January 27, 2026.

AGREEMENT TO EXTEND TIMELINE TO COMPLETE

SURPLUS PROPERTY DISPOSAL
THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is hereby made and entered into this day of , 2025 (the “Effective Date”) by and between the City of Ojai (“Ojai”) and Ojai Bungalows LP (“Developer”) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).

RECITALS
A. The Parties entered into that certain Settlement Agreement Concerning Ojai Bungalows Project dated December 23, 2023, in order to resolve pending litigation filed by the Developer against the City related to four residential housing projects proposed by the Developer (the “Settlement Agreement”) including the Modified Mallory Housing Project (the “Mallory Project” or “Project”).

B. Under the Settlement Agreement, City agreed to pursue disposal of surplus City property adjacent to the Mallory Project in accordance with the California Surplus Land Act (“SLA”) and other applicable state and local legal requirements in exchange for Developer’s commitment to construct two deed-restricted units as part of the Developer’s project at 312 West Aliso Street, five deed-restricted affordable units as part of Developer’s project at 510 East Ojai Avenue, 15 deed-restricted affordable units as part of Developer’s project at 304 South Montgomery, and in order to facilitate the Developer’s construction of 10 affordable units as part of the Mallory Project, maximize the open space at the Project site, and facilitate construction of a proposed recreational trail.

C. Disposal of the surplus City property is an essential part of the Mallory Project and before the City Council may consider Developer’s development applications related to the Project, the City must complete the property disposition process in order to assess what the Project can entail.

D. Given the complexities involved in complying with state law the City has requested and the developer agrees to provide additional time for the City to complete the property disposal process, including consideration by the City Council of the property disposition, and ultimately, consideration of Developer’s Project development applications.

TERMS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. So long as there are no concerns with title to the property that require additional time to address, City agrees to timely, and in good faith, pursue completion of the property disposal in the manner required by law within 120 days from the Effective Date of this Agreement. Based on such agreement by the City, Developer agrees to: (i) to extend the timing for completion of the surplus property disposal required under the Settlement Agreement, as set forth in this Section, and extend the deadline for City Council approval of Developer’s development applications related 01436 0014 2056099.4 1

The parties involved in the Settlement Agreement are the City of Ojai (City) and Ojai Bungalows LP (Developer)
Q : W H E R E A R E T H E P R O J E C T S L O C A T E D ? Q : W H O I S I N V O L V E D ?
On December 18th, 2023, the Ojai City Council approved a settlement agreement with Ojai Bungalows LP regarding four separate housing project sites in Ojai.

Q : W H A T I S H A P P E N I N G ?
Q : W H Y T H E S E T T L E M E N T A G R E E M E N T ? Effective January 1st, 2024, The State Density Bonus Law would grant Developers additional density bonus for projects that meet affordability requirements, as a response to the current housing crisis in California. With the new state laws in effect, the developer is afforded the ability to increase the amount of development, regardless of local zoning. The Developer has agreed to compromise on these state-afforded benefits in order to work with the community.

Attachment B

The Settlement Agreement allows the City and Developer to develop a plan that benefits both parties in moving forward with the development of new 55-year deedrestricted affordable housing and market-rate housing in a manner better matching Ojai’s character than allowed by default laws.

Additionally, the Settlement Agreement allows the City to avoid costly litigation that would have cost time, money, and most importantly, certainty. By approving the Settlement Agreement, the decision is put in the hands of the City rather than the hands of a court; a court that may rule in favor of increased development despite local circumstances.

Q : W H A T I S T H E O U T C O M E O F T H E S E T T L E M E N T A G R E E M E N T ?
The City and Developer have worked closely together to create an agreement for the development of affordable and market-rate housing to move forward whilst keeping the charm of Ojai and its community members in mind. Without the Settlement Agreement, by State law, the developer would be able to create more market-rate units, demolish the bungalows and build 3-story or taller multi-story units at Mallory Way, and limit tenant protections to what is currently outlined in Title 11 Chapter 2 of the Ojai Municipal Code.

To avoid these pathways, the Settlement Agreement requires the developer to increase the number of affordable units, landmark the existing 25 single-story bungalows at Mallory Way to ensure historic preservation and grant additional tenant protections to assure current tenants are not priced out of their homes and community. In return, the developer has been granted City-owned land, abutting Mallory Way, to allow for more area to spread out the development at the project site. 9 8 N E W U N I T S ( 9 8 T O T A L )

Q : W H A T D O E S T H I S P R O J E C T A D D R E S S ? The project addresses the housing crisis that is currently affecting both the City of Ojai and the state of California as a whole. To combat the housing crisis, the California Department of Housing and Community Development has created the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) plan to address housing needs in each region of the state.

The plan allocates region-specific numbers for affordable housing that provide the opportunity for developers or property owners to develop affordable housing through an objective review process. Ojai’s RHNA numbers are as follows:

With all four bungalows projects in combination with the Bryant Street 100% affordable housing project, the numbers would be met, allowing the city more leverage for future development prospects.

Additionally, the projects address the rehabilitation of the existing units at both Cottages and Mallory. The units, being built in the 1920s, are in need of maintenance to allow the residents to live safely and comfortably.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) considers housing to be affordable when a household spends 30% or less of its income on housing costs.

These numbers vary based on income level and are updated yearly. For Ventura County residents the categorization for 2023 is as follows:

Example: A housing project with two very low-income units and eight market-rate units:

Q : W H O Q U A L I F I E S F O R H O U S I N G ?
There is housing available for tenants whose incomes range from very low to aboveaverage income. Under the City’s local preference ordinance, first preference for the affordable units will be reserved for local income-qualifying residents facing, or having been subject to, displacement; and second preference for persons who have lived in Ojai for at least ten years and were displaced within the last five years.

The maximum income for a one-person very low-income household is $46,500, calculated as 50% of median income, adjusted for household size.

Maximum affordable rent for a one-person very low-income unit, inclusive of a reasonable utility allowance, is $1,162.50, calculated as 30% of $46,500, divided by 12 months.

The Maximum income for a two-person very low-income household is $53,150, calculated as 50% of median income, adjusted for household size Maximum monthly affordable rent for a two-person very low-income unit, inclusive of a reasonable utility allowance, is 1,328.75, calculated as 30% of $53,150, divided by 12 months

Mallory, 510 E. Ojai, and 304 S. Montgomery will all be going to the Planning Commission for review of the final site plans. The Mallory project will also go in front of the City Council. The Cottages project was previously approved by the Planning Commission, and the two new affordable accessory dwelling units are subject only to staff-level review.

However, any decision of the Planning Commission is appealable to the City Council under Section 10-2.3002 (Appeal of Action) of the Ojai Municipal Code.

Yes. All existing tenants as of December 18, 2023, will eventually be relocated to a unit of equivalent size (the same total number of bedrooms as the units being replaced) at any of the four project locations. Rent in the relocated unit shall not exceed the rental rate that the tenant is paying at the time of relocation. Future rent increases at the new unit will then be limited by Ojai’s rent stabilization ordinance and state law. Relocated tenants may also exercise return rights to their original units as allowed by and under the conditions of the City’s rent stabilization ordinance and state law.

The existing 25 units at Mallory Way will have their rent stabilized at their current rate, subject only to annual increases as allowed by the City’s rent stabilization ordinance and state law, until the tenant moves out. Once the current tenants move, the units will be available at market rate.

For all relocated tenants, the developer will also reimburse moving costs, up to $2,000, and must also comply with all applicable notices, relocation assistance, and other requirements of state law.

Yes, local Ojai residents will be first preference tenants for any of the projects pursuant to our recent Local Tenant Preference Policy for Lower Income DeedRestricted Affordable Housing adopted by City Council on November 28, 2023.

Per the Settlement Agreement, the Developer has agreed to file a landmark application and Mills Act application for Mallory Way. Cottages will not be landmarked.

Q : W H Y I S M A L L O R Y B E I N G L A N D M A R K E D , B U T C O T T A G E S I S N O T ?
Pre-agreement, the developers would have had the ability to tear down and rebuild the property at Mallory. By landmarking the Mallory Way site, the buildings cannot be torn down but rather must be restored. The Cottages will not be landmarked at this time as the site had a different permitting history than the Mallory Way site.

That said, the Developer aims to preserve the charm of both properties and keep the development of both in line with Ojai’s standards.

Q : I S T E N A N T R E L O C A T I O N T E M P O R A R Y O R P E R M A N E N T ?
This will vary for different tenants based on their personal situation. Under the City’s just cause eviction ordinance, relocated tenants will have the option to either reoccupy the newly rehabilitated unit if rented within 12 months of completion or remain in the unit that they have been relocated to at the same rent as their original unit, subject only to annual increases as allowed by applicable state law and the City’s rent stabilization ordinance.

Up to 2,000 dollars in moving allowance for existing tenants at Cottages Among the Flowers and the Mallory Way Bungalows as of December 18, 2023, as they are required to move.

The referendum served to challenge the Development Agreement between the Developer and the City that was approved by the City Council in 2022. Any approval regarding the project was suspended via the referendum process which was scheduled to be on the ballot in March of 2024. In October 2023 the Developer decided to move forward with development on their properties on an individual basis rather than altogether as outlined in the approved Development Agreement. By doing so, the Developer withdrew from the then-paused Development Agreement.

Since the referendum was put on the ballot by the Council, the Council needed to also vote to remove the referendum from the ballot. On October 10, 2023, the City Council voted to rescind the referendum as the Developer had withdrawn from the Development Agreement making the referendum no longer applicable.

Q : H O W A R E T H E S E P R O J E C T S B E I N G F I N A N C E D ? All four of these projects are being privately financed, which means no state funding or grants are being pursued by the developer to the City’s current best information.

The development is of lower density and the city is mindful of the ongoing threat of disasters and the safe evacuation of residents out of harm’s way which could include the Ojai Valley area in the event of a disaster.

The walking path/wildlife corridor will be preserved and remain open and accessible to the public. The walking path may be reconfigured as part of the Mallory Way project, depending on the final proposed site plan and whether the City Council approves the proposed land transfer of a portion of the right of way through the Surplus Land Act. The settlement agreement requires, if the land is transferred, that the developer develop and maintain a public walking trail.

1 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT CONCERNING OJAI BUNGALOWS PROJECT The parties to this Settlement Agreement (“Agreement”) are the City of Ojai (“City”) and Ojai Bungalows LP (“Bungalows Owners” or “Developer”). The City and Bungalows Owners are referred to individually as “Party” and collectively as “Parties”.

RECITALS
A. Bungalows Owners own property at 312 W. Aliso Street known as Cottages Among the Flowers (“Cottages”), 412 Mallory Way known as Mallory (“Mallory”), 304 South Montgomery (“Montgomery”), and 510 E. Ojai.

B. Bungalows Owners received approval of a Design Review Permit (DRP 05-01), Tentative Tract Map (TTM 5587), and Tree Permit (T 07-22) from the City Council upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission on November 27, 2007 and a final tract map for Tract 5587 was approved by the City Council on December 8, 2009 and subsequently recorded (“Cottages Project”). The Cottages Project time extensions on the Design Review Permit (DRP 05-01) were approved May 4, 2011, June 15, 2016, August 17, 2016 (which included approved revisions), and October 4, 2017; however, the building permit was not ready to issue until October 24, 2018. On April 3, 2019, the City Planning Commission approved a retroactive oneyear time extension (“Cottages Time Extension Application”), which the City Council appealed to itself on April 9, 2019 and which has remained pending since the City Council’s appeal.

C. Bungalows Owners received approval of a Design Review Permit (DRP 11-10), Tentative Tract Map (TTM 11-01), and Tree Permit (T 11-30412) from the City Council on June 12, 2012 (“Mallory Project”). The Mallory Project received an automatic time extension under state law and requested a time extension from the City on May 14, 2017 (“Mallory Time Extension Application”). The City, however, did not schedule action on the Mallory Time Extension Application until February 20, 2019, when the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the time extension. The City Council considered the Planning Commission’s recommendation on April 3, 2019. The City Council continued the item for 60 days but has not yet taken final action on the Mallory Time Extension Application.

2 D. A dispute arose between the City and the Bungalows Owners related to the applicability of the City’s 2013 Replacement Housing Ordinance (Ojai Municipal Code, § 10-

2.904) to both the Cottages and Mallory Extension Applications.

E. After years of negotiation, the dispute was resolved through a Development Agreement, involving the Cottages, Mallory and Montgomery properties, which was approved by the City in October 2022 on a 4-1 vote.

F. That Development Agreement was challenged through a referendum, which the City had submitted for consideration by the City’s voters on March 5, 2024, and after a series of actions, Bungalows Owners rescinded the Development Agreement on August 11, 2023, and asked the City to schedule the Extension Applications for Cottages and Mallory for a hearing.

G. Additionally, after the referendum qualified for a public vote to rescind the Development Agreement, Bungalows Owners submitted alternate applications for development at on the Montgomery and 510 E. Ojai properties. The proposed development on the Montgomery property was consistent with the development proposed in the Development Agreement; and the proposed development on 510 E. Ojai is consistent with the City’s adopted Housing Element and the City’s Special Housing (“SPL”) Overlay.

H. On November 21, 2023, Bungalows Owners filed a complaint/petition to the action entitled Ojai Bungalows, LP v. City of Ojai, City of Ojai City Council, and Weston Montgomery in his official capacity as Interim Deputy City Clerk for the City of Ojai and Does 1 through 20, (Ventura County Superior Court, Case No. 2023CUWM016948) to require the City to hold a hearing on the Cottages and Mallory Extension Applications. Bungalows Owners did so despite the fact the City had offered three potential hearing dates (pending confirmation by the City Council) because Bungalows Owners wanted to ensure the City’s commitment to hold a hearing would be subject to Court order. On December 9, 2023, the Court approved a Stipulation to Hold Administrative Hearing and Stay Proceedings in which the City agreed to hold a hearing on the Cottages and Mallory Extension Applications on December 18, 2023.

I. To avoid the time, inconvenience, expenses and uncertainty of any potential litigation, the parties entered into this Agreement.

(ii) Developer will reimburse moving costs to the Cottages Displaced Tenant up to $2,000. This amount must be paid within seven days of receiving proof of moving expenses (receipts). The Parties intend that the phasing of the construction will allow any Cottages Displaced Tenant to transition to new units. b. Developer will submit applications for the following projects (together “Applications”). City agrees to process the Applications, in accordance with the Permit Streamlining Act and other applicable deadlines in state housing law and as described further below. For the purposes of the Agreement, references to a deed-restricted unit mean a unit deed restricted for 55 years at an affordable rental rate based on the qualifying income levels established under federal and state law. (See Heal. & Saf. Code, §§ 50079.5, 50093, 50105.) (i) Developer will apply to add two accessory dwelling units (“ADUs”) to the Cottages Project over the existing garage (1 deed-restricted low income unit and 1 deed-restricted very low income unit).

5 (b) Developer agrees to propose and only build units
that are approximately 500-600 square feet. Developer also agrees that the Modified Mallory Housing Project design will be internally consistent, with similar design and materials, as appropriate given the current nature of the 25 existing structures, with all units at the Modified Mallory Project not to exceed two stories. Developer also agrees to design a project that minimizes impacts to oak trees on the site, however, the City cannot use this contract term to reduce the Modified Mallory Housing Project density, size, bulk, or scale. Parties also acknowledge and agree that despite any language in this Agreement, the Parties must comply with State Law and the Ojai Municipal Code when processing and developing the Modified Mallory Housing Project.
(c) No current tenant as of December 18, 2023 will be
evicted (other than for nonpayment of rent or breach of lease by a tenant, or otherwise in accordance with the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 and the Ojai Municipal Code for just-cause evictions) to commence construction of a Mallory unit unless at least an equivalent sized unit, as defined in Government Code Section 65915(c)(3)(D), is available in Cottages, Mallory, Montgomery, or 510 E. Ojai (“Mallory Displaced Tenant” ) and Developer first provides right of first refusal to a Mallory Displaced Tenant to establish a residential tenancy at a unit located at Cottages, Mallory, Montgomery, or 510 East Ojai Avenue at a rental amount not to exceed the rental rate that the tenant is paying at the time, and any future increase to rent for that tenant is limited by any applicable rent stabilization ordinance. Developer will reimburse moving costs to the Mallory Displaced Tenant up to $2,000. This amount must be paid within seven days of receiving proof of moving expenses (receipts). The Parties intend that the phasing of the construction will allow any Malloy Displaced Tenant to transition to new units. (d) To facilitate the construction of the Modified
Mallory Housing Project and to provide consideration for the Developer’s construction of Montgomery Project with all deed-restricted affordable units, the City will comply with the Surplus Land Act, applicable state law, and the Ojai Municipal Code, and, after the necessary public City Council approvals are made in the sole discretion of the City Council, convey the previously approved Mallory project was analyzed with an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”). Parties agree that the Modified Mallory Housing Project will be analyzed by tiering off of the previously certified EIR, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines 15162.

Developer also agrees to develop an unpaved (decomposed granite or dirt), workable and standard size public trail primarily located on the Former City Land as part of the Mallory Housing Project. Developer agrees that a condition of approval of the Mallory Project will be to grant an Offer to Dedicate to the City for the benefit of the public for pedestrian ingress and egress over the trail. The parties also understand and agree that the Grant Deed will contain reversion language which will revert the land back to the City if Developer does not pursue the Modified Mallory Housing Project within twelve (12) months after the land is conveyed to the Developer or if the Developer submits a development application that is inconsistent with the Modified Mallory Housing Project. Developer further agrees to use the Former City Land for spreading the Modified Mallory Housing Project units in such way to maximize open space and not to create more density beyond the up to 58 units set forth in the Modified Mallory Housing Project.
(e) The Developer will file a landmark application and
City will in good faith consider and in the City’s sole discretion, if appropriate after the necessary public hearings before the City Council and Historic Preservation Commission, approve a landmarking and Mills Act application on the existing property improvements.

2. The City will charge the 2019 building permit fees for Cottages. No other outstanding fees are due for Cottages. The existing building plans which were deemed permit ready do not need to be modified for Cottages. The City will issue building permits for Phase 1 of Cottages within 30 days. For Mallory, Montgomery and 510 E. Ojai, the City shall charge no more than $696,000 (i.e., no more than $11,047.62 per unit) in City fees, inclusive of all City processing and permitting fees, including planning, grading, City development impact fees, and building permit fees (“City Collected Fees”). In the event of any legal action, including but not limited to, challenges under Planning and Zoning Law or CEQA, instituted by any third party (not a Party to this Agreement), including, but not limited to, any person, organization, association, or federal, state or local governmental entity, challenging or affecting the validity, DocuSign Envelope ID: 9E2F32B5-D17D-4095-93E6-936C96399FAD Attachment C

7 enforceability or implementation of the entitlement or other approval approved or issued by City with respect to the Modified Mallory Housing Project, the City shall reduce the City Collected Fees by $200,000 to reimburse Bungalows Owners solely for use of legal fees associated with the legal action.

3. The City agrees to process all Applications in accordance with applicable deadlines under state law. The City’s processing of all Applications shall not exceed the following schedule: (a) hearing and action at a Planning Commission within 3 months from the date of the Settlement Agreement for Montgomery and 510 E. Ojai, and within 6 months from application submission for the Modified Mallory Housing Project; (b) hearing and action (as necessary) before the City Council within 60 days of the Planning Commission hearing. The City cannot make any promise as to the final timing of the approval and conveyance of the Former City Land because the process requires submission of the proposed exempt surplus land determination, if made by the City Council, to the state Department of Housing and Community Development. The City can, however, promise to submit the proposed street vacation, exempt surplus land determination, and land conveyance for City Council review and action within 60 days after this Agreement. In no case will the City hold more than five hearings on the Application in accordance with state law, except that the public hearings required for landmarking and Mills Act applications do not count as part of the five hearings as these proceedings are independent from land use entitlements. The City also agrees to expedite building permits for all the projects as set forth herein once each project is approved.

4. Parties agree that the City will not require any reimbursement agreement or indemnity agreement, except for a challenge based on the transfer of exempt surplus land for the Former City Land. In the event of any legal action, including but not limited to, challenges under Planning and Zoning Law, the Surplus Land Act or CEQA, instituted by any third party (not a Party to this Agreement), including but not limited to, any person, organization, association, or federal, state or local governmental entity, challenging or affecting the validity, enforceability or implementation of the entitlement or other approval approved or issued by City with respect to the Applications or this Agreement (“Third Party Action”), the Parties agree to in good faith defend said Third Party Action. The City shall have the right to settle or compromise any legal action, including but not limited to, challenges under Planning and Zoning Law, the Surplus Land Act or CEQA, instituted by any third party (not a Party to this Agreement), DocuSign Envelope ID: 9E2F32B5-D17D-4095-93E6-936C96399FAD Attachment C

In any future proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred solely in connection with such future proceeding.

8. The Parties agree to cooperate in the dismissal of the pending lawsuit, captioned Simply Ojai v. City of Ojai (Ventura County Superior Court, Case No. 56-2022- 00572740-CU-WM-VTA), which is moot with the withdrawal of the development agreement from City consideration.

Administrative Report
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ben Harvey, City Manager
MEETING DATE: January 27, 2026
SUBJECT: Agreement with Kiley & Associates, LLC for Federal Advocacy and Funding Support

RECOMMENDATION
Engage Kiley & Associates, LLC, for federal advocacy and funding support to maximize the City of Ojai’s access to federal resources and advance City Council approved priorities and authorize the City Manager to execute a one-year agreement with Kiley & Associates, LLC, for an amount not-to-exceed $36,000 under the proposed terms in a form approved by the City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
Why Federal Advocacy Matters for the City of Ojai
The City of Ojai (City) currently lacks dedicated federal representation to navigate an increasingly competitive federal funding landscape. Without professional advocacy, the City competes at a significant disadvantage against cities with established Washington, D.C. relationships and in-house expertise. Critical funding opportunities go unidentified or pursued ineffectively, federal decision-makers remain unaware of the City’s unique needs and priorities, and the City misses strategic positioning for multi-year funding cycles that could benefit the community for years to come.

The Strategic Opportunity
Kiley & Associates offers specialized federal advocacy that would provide the City with a comprehensive approach to strengthening its federal presence. The firm would develop a strategic Federal Funding Roadmap customized to City Council goals and supporting tactics, including public safety improvements, infrastructure, broadband expansion, economic development, and parks enhancement.

The engagement includes pursuit of up to three Congressional earmark opportunities annually, targeting specific City projects for direct federal appropriations. These earmarks represent some of the most reliable federal funding mechanisms available to municipalities of the City’s size. Additionally, Kiley & Associates would coordinate advocacy meetings with Congressional offices representing the City and relevant federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Transportation, USDA, and Department of Interior. An annual 169

Washington, D.C. City excursion would provide City Council members and staff the opportunity to meet directly with federal decision-makers, putting a face to our community’s needs.

The firm would also provide quarterly policy updates on federal programs, funding cycles, and strategic opportunities tailored specifically to City Council Goals. This intelligence is critical for staying ahead of funding announcements and positioning the City competitively before application windows even open.

Proven Track Record and Anticipated Results
Kiley & Associates has secured millions in federal funding for comparable California cities.

Attachment B (FY26 California CPF Results) demonstrates their recent success in securing highly competitive federal earmarks for clients. In total, Kiley & Associates secured over $32 million in federal funding for California projects in FY26, with individual awards ranging from $250,000 to $5 million. Their successes include funding for parks and recreation facility improvements, street and infrastructure upgrades, emergency operations centers, and economic development initiatives.

For the City specifically, the anticipated impact in Year One is positioning the City to secure between $500,000 and $2 million in federal funding while establishing critical relationships with federal stakeholders. These relationships compound over time as the City becomes a known entity in federal circles, creating a sustainable funding pipeline that extends well beyond the first year.

Return on Investment
With a first year investment of $36,000 (Attachment A – City of Ojai Proposal Letter – Kiley & Associates), securing even the conservative end of projected funding ($500,000) represents a fourteen-to-one return on investment. The mid-range projection of $1.25 million represents a thirty-five-to-one return. Few municipal investments offer this level of potential return while simultaneously advancing multiple City Council priorities.

The proposed engagement will directly supports the City Council’s ability to accelerate infrastructure improvements without burdening local taxpayers, fund economic development initiatives, enhance parks and public spaces, strengthen public safety capacity, and leverage federal dollars to match or replace local funding requirements.

The Cost of Inaction
Without dedicated federal advocacy, Ojai will likely miss Fiscal Year 2027 earmark opportunities, with deadlines approaching in the coming months. The City will remain largely invisible to federal decision-makers allocating discretionary funds and will lack strategic positioning for major programs under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act. Most significantly, the City will continue competing at a disadvantage against better-represented communities who have invested in federal advocacy relationships.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS ALIGNMENT
Goal No. 9 - Communication and Relationships

OPTIONS

1. Take no action;

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed engagement requires a monthly retainer of $3,000, totaling $36,000 annually. No additional appropriations are needed, as funding will be covered through contract savings from other professional services agreements that are billed on an hourly basis. These savings provide sufficient capacity within the existing budget to support this engagement without impacting other planned expenditures.

Mr. Ben Harvey
City Manager
401 South Ventura Street
Ojai, CA 93023
Dear Mr. Harvey,
I am writing to provide an overview of how Kiley & Associates will serve the City of Ojai. Our firm offers deep federal experience, long-standing bipartisan relationships in Washington, D.C., and a history of success with municipalities across the country. This letter outlines not just who we are, but specifically what we will do, what Ojai can expect to receive, and what kind of return on investment your city can anticipate.

For more than a decade, Kiley & Associates has offered a wide range of services to a variety of organizations across many industry sectors. These include local governments, states, businesses, corporations, nonprofits and trade associations. We have provided government relations services in Washington, D.C. to some of the largest and most complex governmental entities in the country; helped clients successfully achieve policy, regulatory, and funding goals; and assisted others to envision and then implement multi-year, multi-million-dollar development projects. Our in-depth substantive knowledge combined with our creativity, hard work and reputation for integrity has earned us the trust of longstanding clients. We’re proud that clients think of us as an integral part of their operations, capable of delivering the services they need when they need them.

Kiley & Associates proposes to provide a tailored federal advocacy, funding, and policy support program with the following scope of work and deliverables:

Scope of Work (Annual):
● Federal Funding Strategy & Execution:
o Develop a Federal Funding Roadmap based on Ojai's top priorities such as:
infrastructure, broadband, water, economic development, parks, and public safety. o Identify and pursue up to 3 earmark opportunities per Fiscal Year (FY) aligned to these goals.
● Direct Advocacy & Relationship Building:
o Arrange and support at least 15 meetings (virtual or in person) annually between Ojai officials and key congressional offices, agency leaders, and program administrators, in order to address topics of importance to Ojai.
o Support the development of briefing materials, policy one-pagers, and talking points for all engagements.
● Policy Advisory Support:
o Provide quarterly updates on relevant federal legislative actions, funding opportunities, and regulatory changes.
172
Kiley &
Associates
o Provide feedback and guidance in obtaining letters of support, and liaise directly with agency staff to strengthen submissions.
● Annual Washington, D.C. Fly-In:
o Coordinate and support a targeted advocacy trip to Washington, D.C., timed with congressional appropriations milestones.
o Schedule meetings with lawmakers, agency decision-makers, and relevant committee staff.
● Strategic Guidance:
o Offer ongoing guidance on leveraging existing federal programs (FEMA, Department of Transportation, Department of Justice, Army Corps of Engineers, USDA, the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Postal Service and more) to fund local projects. o Advise on key federal deadlines and timelines to ensure Ojai engages at optimal moments during the federal funding cycle.

Expected Return on Investment (ROI):

Our target in Year One is to:
● Position Ojai for $500K–$2M in federal funding through congressionally directed spending. ● Increase Ojai’s visibility with federal stakeholders to better position the city for long-term funding and policy influence.

Relevant Experience: We’ve applied this approach successfully for more than two dozen cities. The following is indicative of the type of success we have experienced:
● City of Carson, CA – Helped secure over $6.5 million in federal earmarks and grant funding between 2021–2024, including for parks and public safety infrastructure. ● City of South Gate, CA – Guided the city through multiple funding cycles, including securing over $4 million for street improvements, water systems, and emergency operations. ● City of Lynwood, CA – Secured $1.3 million for senior center upgrades and helped navigate FEMA and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding compliance.

More detail on past performance can be found in the accompanying attachment II below.

Team Commitment: You will have access to a senior-level team, including our President, Chief Counsel, and Vice President, who will be directly involved in advancing Ojai's objectives.

Kiley & Associates would welcome the opportunity to serve as Ojai’s federal advocate. Should you decide to hire our team we are prepared to begin immediately and would recommend a strategy session be scheduled as soon as possible so that we can begin our collaboration. Our monthly retainer for our services is $3,000 per month.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly with any questions.

Very respectfully,
