Public Works Director Scott Christie gave a brief staff report and PowerPoint presentation of the matter.
Vice Mayor Iverson inquired whether residents on Ardith Drive had provided input regarding the proposed right-turn recommendation. Mr. Christie indicated that a few comments had been received.
Councilmember Hoxie raised concerns about the traffic study's validity, noting it was conducted on a school finals day (Friday, May 24), which may have resulted in atypically low traffic. She also observed that the limited number of left turns recorded between 7:00–8:00 a.m. could be attributed to an existing “No Left Turn” sign.
Councilmember Gee emphasized the complexity of the traffic issue, likening it to a situation where addressing a problem in one area causes new problems elsewhere.
She sought clarity on the core problem being addressed—whether it was related to changes in Miramonte’s schedule or access to OIS—and acknowledged the broader challenges of managing peak-time traffic in neighborhoods.
Mr. Christie explained the issue stems from multiple factors, including early arrival times for Miramonte students and staff. He noted the current left-turn restriction prevents legal access during early hours, and the proposed modification would alleviate this.
Vice Mayor Iverson shared student feedback that congestion on Moraga Way leads drivers to use Ardith and Ivy as alternate routes to bypass inefficient traffic signals. She and Councilmember Hoxie discussed the feasibility of alternate routes (e.g., Coral) and their impact on commute times.
Councilmember Gee suggested evaluating the stop sign configuration at Ardith and Coral, specifically considering a four-way stop. Mr. Christie confirmed this has been reviewed and a consultant will be engaged to assess the intersection.
Councilmember Hoxie raised the need to complete the sidewalk along Coral to Moraga Way. Mr. Christie stated this could be considered in a future Capital Improvement Project (CIP), pending support.
Mayor Malkani referred to cut-through traffic analysis and questioned the destinations of drivers turning left—whether they are heading to OIS or continuing to Miramonte. Mr.
Christie responded that the consultant may have used cell phone and traffic volume data, but he would need to confirm.
Regarding traffic signal timing, Mayor Malkani asked about measures taken to improve flow. Mr. Christie explained adjustments involve changing phase durations and vehicle queuing times. These are reviewed periodically and can be further evaluated.
Councilmember Riley asked whether changing the hours of the left-turn restriction had been considered as an alternative to removing the sign entirely. Mr. Christie suspected it had been discussed but would confirm with the consultant.

Mayor Malkani opened the Public Forum, and she noted written comments were also received on the matter.
Tim Silviera, 64 Ivy Drive, emphasized that traffic changes made in 1999, including the "No Left Turn" sign on South Orinda, were implemented for neighborhood safety. He urged that the sign remain in place, warning that its removal would increase cut-through traffic, and believes the traffic issue is unresolvable due to the volume of cars.
Doreen Marr, Ivy Drive, said she participated in all meetings when changes were made, cited many changes over the years with Fehr and Peers doing studies and problems with traffic, rear-ending, kids getting hit, etc., and she asked not to remove the “No Left Turn” sign.
Emily Wax-Polkari,182 Ardith Court, raised concerns about traffic congestion and safety near OIS and Miramonte Schools. She recommended staggering school start times by 30 minutes to improve the effectiveness of “No Left Turn” signs. She strongly opposed reopening Coral Drive as a cut-through due to safety risks, including a blind intersection and lack of sidewalks. She urged the City to prioritize pedestrian safety improvements on Coral Drive immediately, without waiting for lengthy studies.
Lisa Rudolph, an OIS teacher and parent, supported addressing traffic issues, particularly due to Miramonte student cut-throughs. She noted light traffic from 7–8 a.m. but heavy congestion between 8 and 8:30 a.m. She opposed changing OIS start times, citing disruption to schedules. She raised serious safety concerns about Coral Drive, citing delays, a blind hill, and heavy pedestrian use, especially by children. With many families using Coral for early OIS programs, she called for continued dialogue and comprehensive safety solutions around schools and Moraga Way.
Karen Lum-Mackley, 93 Coral Drive, a retired pediatrician, stressed student safety and supported keeping the “No Left Turn” sign. She highlighted hazardous conditions near the OIS walkway and noted her four-year involvement in traffic mitigation efforts.
Pointing out that 73% of residents were unaware of the sign, she questioned the relevance of the decades-old decision and urged for a more inclusive, transparent process instead of unilateral changes.
Chris Gurit, 60 Ivy Drive, shared results from a personal traffic survey near OIS, noting 134 vehicles passed straight through the Ivy Drive stop sign toward Miramonte, totaling over 24,000 trips annually—a major safety concern. Only 48 vehicles came from Coral Drive, showing less southern traffic. He reported 471 total trips during the count despite 800 students and 14 buses, highlighting the need to reduce vehicle volume near bus stops and sixth graders. He also compared travel times, noting it took 9 minutes via Coral versus 2 minutes via Ivy Drive, underscoring safety and time trade-offs.

Page Mittler, a parent of students at Miramonte and OIS, clarified the traffic study took place during "dead week," not finals. She shared how the “No Left Turn” restriction impacted her family, making it difficult for her Miramonte student to drop off younger siblings on time. She noted the alternative route was too slow. Ms. Mittler expressed concern that allowing left turns between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. leads to heavy cut-through traffic from Miramonte students and questioned whether partial restrictions could effectively resolve the issue without a full-time “No Left Turn” from Moraga onto Ivy Drive.
Mayor Malkani said when Ms. Mittler said a parent’s Miramonte child who was trying to drop OIS children early, she asked and confirmed it was before 8 a.m.
Whitney Marr, 54 Ivy Drive, noted that during a Zoom call with 41 neighborhood members, the majority did not support keeping the “No Left Turn” sign, suggesting some attendees tried to flood the meeting to push their views. He emphasized the long effort put into the issue, encouraged collaborative problem-solving, and stated that input from 600 people could generate many ideas. He urged the Council not to remove the “No Left Turn” sign.
Councilmember Gee asked if there was consideration given to changing the hours of the “No Left Turn” sign.
Council discussion ensued regarding the following:
Traffic Timing & School Start Times:
Vice Mayor Iverson and Councilmembers noted that changing OIS school start times isn’t feasible due to tight schedules and impacts on teachers and after-school activities.
The 7–8 a.m. “No Left Turn” sign was originally to reduce Miramonte cut-through traffic before school but now is less effective because Miramonte starts later (8:30 a.m.).
Congestion between Ivy Drive and Miramonte is problematic, and removing the sign might increase traffic.
Traffic Study Validity:
Councilmember Riley and others questioned the timing and reliability of the traffic study, noting it was conducted during “dead week,” and existing signs may have influenced driver behavior, casting doubt on data accuracy.
Neighborhood Concerns vs. Traffic Flow:
Councilmember Hoxie emphasized protecting the quiet of Ivy Drive residents from early morning traffic, favoring keeping the “No Left Turn” sign to maintain neighborhood calm.
Vice Mayor Iverson countered that maintaining the sign solely for neighborhood quiet enjoyment isn’t sufficient justification, especially if it inconveniences those legitimately trying to get to school.
Proposed Traffic Measures:
• Trial of a “No Right Turn” on Ardith to discourage cut-through traffic, along with possible speed bumps (currently disallowed by Fire Department).
F.1.a
Packet Pg. 12
Attachment: City Council Minutes of July 15, 2025 (3685 : Minutes Approval) Orinda City Council Minutes Page 7 of 19 07.15.25
• Consideration of a 4-way stop at Ardith and Coral, pedestrian safety improvements like sidewalks, especially on Coral Drive due to children walking. • Acknowledgment that long-term infrastructure improvements will need to be budgeted and planned.
Safety Concerns:
Councilmembers agreed pedestrian safety is critical, given the number of children walking in the area and teenage drivers using shortcuts.
Balancing Cut-Through Traffic and School Access:
Vice Mayor Iverson framed the challenge as balancing Miramonte students’ shortcut traffic with the need for OIS students, buses, and pedestrians to arrive safely and on time. Councilmember Hoxie stressed that the cut-through issue and the early morning traffic calming measure are separate and should be addressed individually.
Next Steps:
The Council leaned toward approving a pilot program adjusting signs (including removing the “No Left Turn” from 7–8 a.m., trying “No Right Turn” on Ardith) with continued monitoring and community input. They emphasized the difficulty of the problem due to multiple schools in close proximity starting within the same timeframe.
City Manager Smith asked if there is a way to de-couple the “No Left Turn” on Ivy from the other safety improvements staff is also recommending tonight so the City could spend more time on that matter. Mr. Christie said it is possible; however, they might want to entertain the idea of giving staff some flexibility on adjusting the time to be more in-sync because leaving it at the same time does not serve the purpose.
Mayor Malkani suggested shifting the “No Left Turn” sign restriction to 6:45–7:45 a.m., aiming to allow OIS teachers and students to arrive by 8 a.m. while preserving a quiet period for residents.
City Manager Smith said because school starts soon, staff asked if the Council could agree on certain immediate improvements and defer the more controversial “No Left Turn” issue on Ivy Drive for later discussion. Since this was not agendized separately, staff recommended no changes to the sign tonight unless consensus emerged, and suggested a potential medium-term time adjustment.
Vice Mayor Iverson expressed concern that the Council may not be equipped to iterate effectively on this complex issue, and noted TSAC had spent two years reviewing it.
She supported staff’s full recommendation but her motion lacked a second and it died.
Councilmember Riley questioned the validity of the traffic study because the sign was in place during data collection. She proposed temporarily removing the “No Left Turn” sign for a week to gather clearer data.
F.1.a
Packet Pg. 13
Attachment: City Council Minutes of July 15, 2025 (3685 : Minutes Approval) Orinda City Council Minutes Page 8 of 19 07.15.25
City Manager Smith suggested that without a Council motion, staff could return with options including a temporary lift of the “No Left Turn” sign during the school year for better data, and explore other safety improvements. Recommended no action tonight but direction to continue study.
Vice Mayor Iverson’s Cautioned that changing signs abruptly during the school year risks confusion and traffic citations; suggested a longer-term trial (3 months) with good public communication.
Councilmember Gee emphasized desire for a comprehensive approach, including safety improvements at Coral/Ardith intersection and sidewalks, even if funding isn’t immediately available. Asked for clearer data on who needs to get where and when.
Councilmember Hoxie suggested using the 2x2 committee to discuss OIS start times and related traffic needs with the school district superintendent. Vice Mayor Iverson Preferred that TSAC directly engage with the Superintendent to avoid delays, rather than waiting for the biannual 2x2 meetings.
Mayor Malkani noted lack of majority support for any change today but recognized interest in revisiting the issue soon. Asked City Manager for guidance on what should return to Council.
City Manager Smith heard a desire for a more holistic approach, including school safety, sight distance, stop signs, sidewalks, and additional traffic analysis. She offered to return with a limited Traffic Order proposal (e.g., temporarily removing the “No Left Turn” sign) for study purposes.
Councilmember Riley requested a separate study session with the traffic consultant and staff to review the study methodology and goals. She suggested inviting the school district, but Mayor Malkani preferred the session be limited to the Council.
Vice Mayor Iverson asked City Manager to confirm with the Fire Department if speed bumps could be reconsidered on Ardith, as TSAC’s current blanket ban is due to evacuation routes, and Ardith might be an exception.
Councilmember Riley said she is struggling with how the study was done when the sign said do not turn left. Mr. Christie said in hindsight, he would have invited the traffic consultant tonight and he cannot precisely answer the question on how they do that.
He can look at windows around it and draw conclusions based on overall traffic patterns, but he acknowledged the question and was not sure how that process works.

Attachment: City Council Minutes of July 15, 2025 (3685 : Minutes Approval) Orinda City Council Minutes Page 9 of 19 07.15.25
City Manager Smith said if there is no desire for a Councilmember to make another motion, staff could receive direction to take this back and look at other things, such as better understanding it, put in place a limited Traffic Order during the school year so they can measure the 7 to 8 a.m. traffic and return to the Council. All of these things should not occur tonight, and if there is no thought of de-coupling the first item in the Traffic Order for the remainder of items, she would suggest not taking action on any recommendations and give staff direction. For example, there could be a temporary lift of the “No Left Turn” sign to do additional study.
Councilmember Riley asked if the Council could agendize a separate study session in the Sarge Room with the traffic consultant to get more information. She would also add direction to obtain more information from the person who conducted the study and an answer as to what they are trying to achieve and what does this achieve if the sign is taken away.
Councilmember Hoxie suggested the school district also be invited for the study session, and Mayor Malkani was opposed to this and felt strongly that it should only be the City Council. She recommended obtaining more data on the number of students at Miramonte and OIS have reasons to be at school before regular start times.
Vice Mayor Iverson asked before the meeting if the City Manager could reach out to the Fire Department. She knows TSAC has a blanket “No speed bumps” rule so she did not want to get a “no” before asking the question because Ardith is so different from the evacuation route problem that created that prohibition, so this would be a very helpful solution to discuss this.
City Manager Smith asked if the Council was interested in the limited Traffic Order as part of the analysis or just talk about it and give further direction on that from the study session.
Mayor Malkani said Items 3 and 4 are the Southway Court and Whitehall Drive “No Left Turn” signs, and it is changing the hours from 7 to 8 to 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. She thought she heard consensus on that. Vice Mayor Iverson said they could change the time, but all Councilmembers agreed to evaluate it with the other items.
City Manager Smith confirmed staff has direction to agendize a study session and hold more discussion around the issue.
G. PUBLIC HEARING – None.
H. POLICY MATTERS
H.1. Study Session: Inclusionary Housing Ordinance - an Implementing Action of the Housing Element
Recommendation:

Attachment: City Council Minutes of July 15, 2025 (3685 : Minutes Approval) Orinda City Council Minutes Page 10 of 19 07.15.25
Receive a report on the Economic Feasibility and Market Study for a potential inclusionary housing ordinance. Provide direction on preliminary recommendations.
Christine Thomson, Principal Planner, gave the staff report and overview of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance which is an implementing actions of the Housing Element, as well as the Economic Feasibility and Market Study. The charge of the City is to evaluate inclusionary housing ordinances as a way to increase affordable housing in town. It is also to decide if this is an appropriate policy objective for the City.
She noted that the consultant is present who will talk directly to the study and also the focus group conversation summary memo was included in the packet. She noted Planning staff of Lashun Cross and Darren Hughes are also working on the item and this has been discussed at two prior Council meetings but was kicked off by the certification of the Housing Element in January 2023.
Ms. Thomson explained the background and reasons for adopting an inclusionary housing ordinance, focusing on five key factors like development size, affordable unit percentage, unit mix, in-lieu fees, and development incentives. The Council is currently reviewing an Economic Feasibility and Market Study with preliminary recommendations, seeking direction before moving to a final recommendations memo that includes public input. Next steps include drafting the ordinance, holding a Planning Commission hearing in August, and a City Council hearing in September for final approval.
David Bergman from Lisa Wise Consulting presented the Economic Feasibility and Market Study, explaining the inclusionary housing ordinance (IHO), project timeline, and relevant policies like the Housing Element and MTC’s Transit-Oriented Communities policy. Key study findings cover topics such as inclusionary percentage, project size, income levels, rental vs. ownership, in-lieu fees, affordability controls, and development incentives. Staff recommends the Council provide guidance on these preliminary findings to help prepare a recommendations memo incorporating feedback from the Council, Planning Commission, and the public.
City Manager Smith noted that the Council is already familiar with the issues and suggested focusing on key items like the percentage allocation and in-lieu fee amounts.
She emphasized that each project’s feasibility depends on land values, which may differ from property owners’ expectations. To encourage development, the ordinance should allow flexibility to assess projects individually. She also urged the Council to clarify the policy goals for the in-lieu fee, highlighting how such fees can be pooled with other resources to support more affordable housing through partnerships with non-profit developers.
Councilmember Gee asked if they can designate that the inclusionary housing must be a certain size, such as a 2-bedroom, so it is not all comprised of studio units. Mr.
Bergman said they have to be proportionate to the market rate units so if the development is all 2-bedrooms, they cannot make all affordable units studio units. This goes back to the functionally indistinguishable requirement.

Councilmember Hoxie said she understands the City cannot go over 15% but asked about their neighboring communities which are as low as 10%, and asked if it related to the TOC policy. Mr. Bergman said it is the TOC policy and where the State is trying to push jurisdictions. 15% seems like a number to not exceed, but the Council would have to justify why they would not go below 15%, particularly with the parking requirement downtown.
City Attorney Wolff clarified that State law now prohibits the City from requiring parking within one-half mile of BART.
Mr. Bergman said the model assumes a lower rate of parking than the code so it is more about reflecting the market. Within the high-quality transportation area, the City may not use its zoning code to impose an off-street parking requirement. So, they could be zero parked. So, realistically, it is also about whether the units would sell or rent with no parking.
Councilmember Hoxie asked if it is MTC policy that keeps the City from separating the two categories of both for sale and rental units. It seems like 15% affects the feasibility of for-sale units at a much higher rate than rental units. Mr. Bergman agreed and said the gap between affordability for for-sale projects and those incomes is greater than it is for rent, but also the single-family in that circumstance is an artifact of the large lot size requirement.
Vice Mayor Iverson asked for more information about the Planning Commission’s input and feedback.
Ms. Thomson explained that some of it was that they had not had those previous discussions, so they were getting into details and were asking basic questions in understanding parameters and how they mix. They were uncertain as to how to mix them because there are toggles and they were not sure what the best set of toggles would result. They asked the question of whether it is required, and it is in the contract with HCD but there are a variety of things that must be implemented. So, it was identified as a low-hanging fruit.
Vice Mayor Iverson asked if there was any consensus or recommendation from the PC and she confirmed with Ms. Thomson that the PC was having a study session, as well.
Mayor Malkani referred to the percentage and asked if the consultant is seeing trends of other jurisdictions looking to amend their inclusionary ordinances, particularly the percentage or pieces to be compliant with TOC policy. Mr. Bergman said there is TOC policy and for jurisdictions impacted by it, yes, they are seeing a trend of communities trying to comply with MTC’s TOC policy because MTC is clear that will be a requirement for the One Bay Area grants in Cycle 4.

Mayor Malkani asked if the chart will therefore look different, and Mr. Bergman said yes, and cities will amend their older approved percentage. Another issue is that starting in the Sacramento area and finishing up in Kern County with the latest ones, it was interesting to see how HCD’s requirement got more emphatic about adoption and adoption at certain targets the later one was in the cycle. Once HCD latched onto housing mobility in AFFH, that became the lever they used to then later in the cycle require communities to adopt and require at certain percentages. So, this feels like a mid- to late-level adoption and as one got later and later in the process, HCD was requiring an adoption at 15%.
Vice Mayor Iverson said she was not aware HCD had bonded onto the idea that these sorts of laws create more income ability. She always heard that because in for-sale people in the BMR units are not accruing any wealth other than what they paid on their mortgage, and renters are stuck where they cannot ever move and the unit is locked up. So, she thought they were an “anti-mobility thing” and she is wrong about the latest thinking.
Mr. Bergman said they define mobility a little differently. So, it is geographic mobility and not income ability.
Mayor Malkani opened the Public Forum.
Brian Griggs, representing himself and Jeff Stone, voiced support for an inclusionary housing ordinance but emphasized the need to align affordability goals with development realities. He cited rising costs causing project delays statewide and noted Orinda's challenging market, limited sites, and perceived resistance to development.
Mr. Griggs urged realistic financial assumptions and thoughtful policy to ensure feasibility and success.
Jeff Stone, a seasoned developer, cautioned against adopting an inclusionary housing ordinance without fully understanding its financial impacts. Citing his own projects—like a Moraga development facing legal challenges due to height increases tied to affordable units—he emphasized that flawed cost assumptions in the feasibility study (e.g., significantly underestimated construction costs) could lead to misguided policy. Mr.
Stone urged the Council to take more time to align the ordinance with market realities, warning that poorly calibrated requirements could stall housing production and jeopardize land control.
MOTION by Mayor Malkani, and seconded by Councilmember Riley, to extend the Council meeting to 10:30 p.m. Said motion carried by unanimous (5-0) vote.
Mayor Malkani opened the Public Forum, and there were no speakers.
Councilmember discussion ensued.

Councilmember Gee appreciated the developers’ input but found it difficult to fully understand. She emphasized the importance of staying compliant with state (HCD) and regional (MTC) guidelines and supported including flexibility in the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO) to allow project-by-project considerations.
Councilmember Riley agreed with Gee, supporting broad exceptions in the IHO to allow case-by-case flexibility, acknowledging that most Council members are still learning about these complex issues.
Councilmember Hoxie, new to the topic, expressed concern that cost estimates seemed too low and could hinder project feasibility. She stressed the need for balance—enough standards to ensure quality, but not so strict that development becomes impossible— and supported adding flexibility.
Mayor Malkani clarified that while the IHO must apply broadly, flexibility can be introduced through specific choices within the ordinance, not necessarily through full case-by-case discretion.
City Manager Smith stated the Council could build in an exception or an ability to waive the requirement for a project if they can demonstrate the feasibility is in question if the standards are applied.
Mayor Malkani supports an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO), mainly to comply with MTC TOC guidelines. She would prefer a 10% inclusion rate, but is open to 11– 15% for compliance, voiced concerns that TOC requirements are not well-aligned with neighboring jurisdictions, supports an in-lieu fee but needs more clarity on the fee range; worries Orinda's fee might be higher than peers', believes affordable housing goals must balance feasibility to avoid stalling development, and wants Orinda to stay eligible for MTC funding and encourages responsible growth.
City Manager Smith asked for clear direction on in-lieu fee structure to bring back a viable proposal, explained in-lieu fees can be leveraged with non-profits (e.g., Eden Housing) to produce more affordable units than developer-built units, and emphasized the need to balance between encouraging construction and collecting funds for future affordable housing projects.
Councilmember Gee prefers actual affordable units over fees, questioning whether Orinda can collect enough to fund full projects, is worried about the optics of Orinda being the only city not adopting IHO, fearing NIMBY criticism, and acknowledged State Housing and Community Development (HCD) expectations and the need to meet RHNA goals.

Vice Mayor Iverson said she is cautious about IHO; doesn’t believe it's the best fit for Orinda right now, thinks all-affordable projects (e.g., Eden, Monte Verde) are more feasible than inclusion in market-rate projects, warned against adding local regulations on top of state incentives, which may discourage development, and is concerned that developers pass the cost of BMR (below-market-rate) units on to other renters longterm. She prefers to let the market work, focusing on attracting a few high-quality projects and questioned the process, feeling it skipped over the question of whether to pursue IHO and jumped to how.
City Manager Smith summarized the Council questions raised which include:
• Whether Orinda should adopt an IHO or rely on in-lieu fees and all-affordable developments.
• How to set in-lieu fees that are fair, feasible, and effective. • Whether IHO helps or hinders development in a small city like Orinda. • Whether not having an IHO makes the city vulnerable to external criticism or pressure.
• Balancing local values and priorities with regional and state compliance requirements.
Mayor Malkani noted recommendations are also in detail at the back of the consultant report and Ms. Thomson suggested asking Councilmembers whether they want the IHO.
Vice Mayor Iverson stated she is opposed to moving forward with an IHO.
Councilmember Riley asked what the City loses out on if it does not comply with TOC policy. City Manager Smith stated the City could lose transportation grants from federal money that gets passed through MTC and then gets reallocated to local jurisdictions.
OBAG 4 funding has been identified and the question is whether MTC will use this as the basis for all determinations and not just for OBAG funding.
Councilmember Riley asked and confirmed with City Manager Smith that the information the City has is current about MTC policy, and that the Council is under no obligation to make a decision about this ordinance.
Mayor Malkani said she thinks the question was whether to move forward with an inclusionary ordinance or not, and, if so, her view is 15% versus 10% because of MTC TOC policy.
Councilmember Hoxie said, she thinks getting the kinds of projects built in Orinda that people want to live in is important to her so she does not know enough on how to make this policy work with that view or if it can. She is not clear on moving forward, but was in favor of the conversation and understanding it better. She is concerned about the percentage and did not think they want to be at the top of the in-lieu scale or at the bottom, but somewhere in the middle.

Councilmember Gee supported moving forward with the IHO, believes it is important politically and regionally for Orinda to stay aligned with MTC, HCD, and neighboring cities, and wants IHO to be flexible and modifiable, not necessarily rigid.
Councilmember Riley said she is undecided but is leaning toward supporting the IHO to avoid appearing uncooperative on housing. She is concerned about the 15% inclusion rate and wants more clarity on the numbers and flexibility for lower percentages.
Ms. Thomson said there is a range and the Council can go lower but being in compliance with MTC is where the 15% is coming from. You can have exceptions with that and go with 11% 12%, etc.
City Manager Smith said staff will continue to take feedback and return to the Council.
Staff will talk on their end about timing and whether or not they need another check-in before bringing a draft ordinance forward.

H.2. Correspondence from Nicholas Waranoff Regarding Brown Act and Settlement of Orindans for Safe Emergency Evacuation (OSEE) v.
City of Orinda Litigation
Recommendation:
Review, discuss, and provide direction to staff as appropriate regarding correspondence from Nicholas Waranoff.
City Attorney Osa Wolff referred to the staff report and pointed out that the Council received subsequent correspondence from Mr. Waranoff which is labeled Public Forum on the handout, but it is actually for this item.
Ms. Wolff said she can take questions if Councilmembers want more details at the end of this, and asked to focus on commenting about settlements and the Brown Act. The law is important and it is important that the City comply. She then provided an overview of the Brown Act, described the Trancas case that provides an exception where cities cannot, through a bilateral settlement agreement, circumvent an extrinsic public hearing requirement. State law requires a public hearing for certain land use decisions so it is not a proper term for a settlement. The OSEE settlement is very different which she described and is not problematic under the Trancas case. She did not find any case extending Trancas to terms like those in the OSEE settlement.
In addition to tonight’s item which is to allow the Council the opportunity to review, discuss, provide direction about the Brown Act correspondence, there are two more items on tonight’s agenda. They are referenced in the settlement agreement, but they are also things the Council has authority to act on regardless of whether there was ever a settlement. Item H.3 has to do with SSTOC Bylaws and some proposed amendments.
Item H.4 is to consider proposed agreement with Ladris for modeling.

In terms of process for this item, she recommended the Council ask her any questions, take public comment, close the public comment, then table this item, go to the other two items, and if the Council would like to take this back up again immediately following those items or in the future, the Council may do that. Staff is not seeking definitive Council direction tonight on this item. It is primarily informational.
There were no questions of Councilmembers.
Mayor Malkani noted receipt of public comments from Mr. Waranoff the Council received. She opened the Public Forum, and there were no speakers. She closed the Public Forum and asked if there was any discussion on the matter.
Councilmember Riley asked if a decision could be made as a way to proceed.
Ms. Wolff stated if the Council has heard all the update they need to receive and do not need to receive any more, the Council can move on from this and not table it.
Mayor Malkani said she would like to table it, and made a motion.
MOTION by Mayor Malkani, and seconded by Vice Mayor Iverson, to table Item H.2.
Said motion carried by unanimous (5-0) vote
H.3. Consider Amendments to the Supplemental Sales Tax Oversight Commission (“SSTOC”) Bylaws
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution No. 43-25 Amending the Bylaws for the Supplemental Sales Tax Oversight Commission.
City Manager Smith gave the staff report and overview of the item for the Council to consider amendments to the SSTOC Bylaws to provide clarity on their role with emergency evacuation planning, response, and improvements.
Councilmember Hoxie asked and confirmed that the Bylaw changes are in compliance with the original way the SSTOC was established.
Mayor Malkani opened the Public Forum, and there were no speakers. She then closed the Public Forum.
Mayor Malkani commented that the amendments serve to provide great clarity and emphasize the importance of evacuation. Councilmembers agreed.

Recommendation:
Approve a one-year agreement with Ladris for evacuation and wildfire modeling services and software, approve a Budget Change Form #003- 26, and confirm the contract is exempt from competitive bidding.
City Manager Smith gave the staff report and overview of the item, noting it is a way to satisfy the requirements of the settlement agreement with OSEE while also being an appropriate next step for this organization to bolster their continual disaster planning and response efforts. The item is also responsive to one of the City’s strategic initiatives to use emerging technologies to guide strategic investments in fuel mitigation and evacuation efforts, which she described.
Vice Mayor Iverson asked when the City might be able to see some of the things the software can do.
City Manager Smith said they will start at the end of next month, and the consultant commented that the City should start to see very useful scenarios within one month.
Once the team is fully trained, they have a 60-day implementation set up and have more in-depth results 60 days after that.
Mayor Malkani opened the Public Forum, and there were no speakers. She then closed the Public Forum.
Mayor Malkani and Councilmembers voiced excitement that the City and public will be able to engage with this and thinks it is a helpful tool.
EXTEND MEETING
MOTION by Mayor Malkani, and seconded by Vice Mayor Iverson, to extend the Council meeting to 11:00 p.m. Said motion carried by unanimous (5-0) vote.
MOTION by Councilmember Gee, and seconded by Councilmember Hoxie, to approve a one-year agreement with Ladris for evacuation and wildfire modeling services and software, approve a Budget Change Form #003-26, and confirm the contract is exempt from competitive bidding. Said motion carried by unanimous (5-0) vote.
City Attorney Wolff asked if the Council would like to remove Item H.2 off the table for any further deliberation or direction to staff or she asked if the Council wished to leave it as is.
Mayor Malkani and Councilmembers said they did not feel the need for further deliberation, and moved to the next item.

Said motion carried by unanimous (5-0) vote.
H.6. Board of Forestry Update on Draft Regulations for Zone Zero Recommendation:
Receive the update on the Board of Forestry efforts to establish statewide zone zero regulations and provide direction to Staff, as needed.
Senior Management Analyst Mickie Cronin reported that the Board of Forestry, under a directive from Governor Newsom, is updating wildfire safety regulations to be adopted by December 31, 2025. The focus is on creating “Zone Zero,” a 5-foot ember-resistant zone around structures. Grass will be prohibited in this area, though city staff argue this lacks scientific backing. Potted plants and some trees may be allowed with restrictions.
Drought-tolerant, fire-resistant materials like gravel and stone are encouraged. Public comments are ongoing, with the next Board meeting set for July 24th.
Councilmember Gee asked if the City is planning to send comments to the Board of Forestry, and City Manager Smith said the Council should and could comment on the grass question and whether there is concurrence or not.
Mayor Malkani opened the Public Forum, and there were no speakers. She closed the Public Forum.
Councilmember Gee asked if MOFD provided official comments. City Manager Smith was unsure but did speak with staff about some of the regulations.
Mayor Malkani referred to the grass issue, and she confirmed with Ms. Cronin that Chief Isaacs is following this closely.

Mayor Malkani said she is in favor of sending a letter, and if MOFD leadership were to say succulents do not pose a fire danger, given they are more drought tolerant than grass, this could also be addressed in the letter. But, unless they have a similar decision, she would not include it.
Councilmember Riley said the Council could make this decision on its own, and Mayor Malkani said she would defer to them on fire science items.
Councilmember Riley said there is no talk about what the house is made of, and if it is stone or brick, there should be an exception. She has never heard or has seen anything about this here.
City Manager Smith said there are many homes with a base of brick, concrete or stone, but if the entire house is made of it that might be one thing, but often times materials are only to a certain point where embers can get in.
Mayor Malkani said at this point because the Council cannot confirm certain things, she would be comfortable sending the letter about the lawn.
Vice Mayor Iverson said she would defer to staff more broadly. The first time this came up, they realized MOFD’s mandate is fire suppression and to some extent, prevention.
The City’s is more broadly community interest. She did not think there was time to build consensus and would like to defer to staff to add to the letter with things they and SSTOC feel are appropriate.
Councilmembers agreed, and City Manager Smith confirmed she had direction.
I. COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS – None.
J. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT – None.
K. MATTERS INITIATED – None.
L. ADJOURNMENT
The Regular Meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:58 p.m. to the City Council Meeting on Tuesday, August 19, 2025 at 6:00 p.m.

AGENDA TITLE: Policy for the Display of Banners on City Street Light Poles in Downtown Areas
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 46-25, Approving a Banner Display Policy on City Street Light Poles.
BACKGROUND:
At its May 16, 2017 meeting, City Council approved Resolution No. 49-17, which formally established a banner policy governing display of banners on City-owned street light poles in the downtown section of the City. The policy had a sunset date of May 16, 2019.
DISCUSSION:
The City continues to utilize the policy following its original adoption, and even after the sunset date, with favorable results. There are requests for such banners from time to time, and it is useful to have a policy in place to address these requests. Therefore, Staff recommends the policy be confirmed, with no sunset date, by adoption of Resolution No. 46-25. The policy described in subject Resolution No. 46-25 is identical to that in Resolution 49-17, except that there is no sunset date.
NEXT STEPS:
The City will continue to allow temporary placement of banners that meet the policy.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No significant impact. The policy allows for fees for encroachment permit cost recovery.

AGENDA TITLE: Quarterly Investment Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 2025 RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the Quarterly Investment Report for the period ending June 30, 2025.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s adopted Investment Policy provides that the City Treasurer will submit a report on the City's investments to the Council on a quarterly basis. The policy also specifies the information that is to be reported. This report covers the period from April 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025.
The City of Orinda uses Chandler Asset Management (Chandler), an independent fiduciary advisor, to manage a portion of its portfolio. The funds under management by Chandler are managed as a Reserve Portfolio. The City’s strategy is to retain sufficient cash flow to manage day-to-day operations and have Chandler focus on longer-term investment management. All investments, managed by Chandler, are held by the City in a safekeeping account through US Bank.
The City also uses the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is a pooled investment managed by the State Treasurer. This investment provides relatively liquid access to balances, with a limit of 15 transactions per month. The cost value shown for the City’s LAIF investment represents the City’s contractual rights to its LAIF account and does not represent the value of the underlying portfolio securities.
In addition, on May 7, 2024, the City opened a Money Market account with Mechanics Bank which has a limit of five transactions per month to manage liquidity.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 31 (GASB 31) requires the City to recognize the fair market value of its investments at the end of each fiscal year.
The market values are obtained from the State Controller’s office for Local Agency Investment Funds (LAIF), and from Chandler for the Reserve Portfolio. The difference between market value and cost as of June 30, 2025, will be reflected in the City’s financial statements for Fiscal Year 2024-25 as an adjustment to interest income for each of the City’s funds on a pro-rata basis as required by GASB 31. Market values change daily and the change in market value is considered temporary in nature, as the City mostly holds its investments until maturity, when they can be redeemed at par value.
DISCUSSION:
The quarterly report prepared by Chandler (Attachment A) for the quarter ending on F.3
Packet Pg. 34
June 30, 2025, provides the following information about the risk characteristics of the City's reserve portfolio:
1) Economic Update - provides a general economic background on key indicators that may impact the investment results. This information is useful in evaluating the performance of the portfolio as well as expected trends. (Attachment A pages 2-13).
2) Account Profile - describes the objectives and strategy used for the portfolio, compliance with the adopted Investment Policy, and key data related to the issuers. This section breaks down the reserve portfolio to provide key performance data. (Attachment A pages 14-27). A schedule on pages 16-18 displays whether holdings are in compliance with the California State Government Code and the City’s Investment policy.
3) Portfolio Holdings - provides details for each security held in the portfolio including purchase date, maturity date, market value, and rating. (Attachment A pages 28-36)
4) Transactions - show all purchases, sale of holdings and maturity for each month in the quarter. The Transaction Data included in the report displays all transactions including the settlement date. (Attachment A pages 37-39) The attached monthly Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) statements and Money Market account statements provide a listing of monthly transactions and balances.
Detailed investment information for LAIF can be found on the California State Treasurer's website (www.treasurer.ca.gov/pmia-laif/pmia).
All investment categories in the portfolio comply with the City’s Investment Policy and the Government Code in terms of allowed investments. The comparison information provided below is based on the market value of investments. The market value will vary both up and down from the original cost. For the most part, the City tends to hold most securities until maturity.
As shown below, the City had approximately $42 million (book value) invested as of June 30, 2025, and it was divided between investments in the State Treasurer Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), Money Market account, and funds managed by Chandler investments.

It is appropriate to keep in mind that the portfolio reflects all funds and is not limited to the General Fund. The City operates with a system of pooled cash which includes Restricted Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Project Funds, as well as the General Fund.
Portfolio Performance
The overall average purchase yield to maturity on the entire portfolio was 4.38%. The reported purchase yield was 4.0% one year ago (Quarter ending June 30, 2024). These figures relate to the combined portfolio, including LAIF, Money Market account, and the Reserve funds managed by Chandler. The average purchase yield for the Reserve portfolio managed by Chandler is 4.23% (page 19), which is trending up from 4.07% in the prior quarter.
The following excerpt from page 13 of Attachment A shows the increase in US Treasury Notes since 2020, and especially with the shorter-term investments (dotted line is the two-year Treasury) which stayed almost flat between June 2020 and September 2021.
Starting from September 2021, the two-year treasury yield has been rising and peaked in October 2023 at 5.19%. Since then, the two-year yield has been trending downwards and was 3.72% on June 30, 2025.

An important consideration for public funds is the safety of investments. The investments owned by the City are of a high quality as required by the Investment Policy.
As a reminder, the City cannot invest in bonds with a maturity of more than five years.
The weighted average maturity of the City’s entire portfolio is 0.92 years compared to the benchmark (ICE BofA 1-3 Year US Treasury & Agency Index) maturity guiding the portfolio selection of 1.85 years. As of June 30, 2025, the Reserve portfolio managed by Chandler had a longer average maturity of 2.21 years (Page 19).
The City maintains liquidity using LAIF and the Money Market account combined with cash in its checking account to protect against the need to liquidate an investment before maturity.
Investment transactions were executed in accordance with the California State Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy. The City Treasurer believes the pooled cash and investments contain sufficient cash flow liquidity to meet the next six months of expected expenditure.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact on accepting this quarterly investment report.

Recent economic data suggest slower growth in 2025 and greater market uncertainty as the effects of fiscal policy unfold. Inflationary trends have subsided, but some components remain sticky, and core levels remain above the Fed’s target. The labor market reflects improved balance between supply and demand for workers. While job creation has been robust, continuing jobless claims remain elevated.
Given the economic outlook, we expect gradual normalization of monetary policy and a steepening yield curve.
As broadly anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left the Federal Funds Rate unchanged at the range of 4.25 - 4.50% at the June meeting. Fed Chair Powell continued to emphasize the Committee’s “wait and see” approach amidst economic uncertainty that remains elevated but diminished. Federal Reserve officials continued to pencil in two rate cuts in 2025.
US Treasury yields declined in June. The 2-year Treasury yield fell 18 basis points to 3.72%, the 5-year Treasury dropped 17 basis points to
3.80%, and the 10-year Treasury yield also declined 17 basis points to 4.23%. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve edged up to +51 basis points at June month-end versus +50 basis points at May month-end. The spread between the 2- year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was -36 basis points. The spread between the 3-month and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was -7 basis points in June, versus -6 basis points in May.

The U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs in June, exceeding consensus expectations, and the last two months were revised up by 16,000.
Gains were primarily driven by state and local government education, while job growth in service sectors languished. The three-month moving average and six-month moving average payrolls totaled 150,000 and 130,000 respectively. The unemployment rate declined to
4.1% in June from 4.2% in May, due to a shrinking labor force. The labor participation rate dipped to 62.3%, remaining below the prepandemic level of 63.3%. The U-6 underemployment rate, which includes those who are marginally attached to the labor force and employed part time for economic reasons dropped to 7.7% in June. Average hourly earnings fell slightly, marking a 3.7% year-over-year increase.

Advance Retail Sales were down 0.9% month-over-month in May, further slowing from a downwardly revised -0.1% in April. Declines were led by auto sales, building materials, garden equipment and supplies, and spending at restaurants and bars fell by the most since early 2023. Control group sales, which feed into GDP, were the only bright spot in the report, with a 0.4% increase. On a year-over-year basis, Retail Sales grew 3.3% in May following a 5.0% increase in April. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 93.0 in June from 98.4 in May, as consumers’ assessment of both the current situation and future expectations for income and labor markets soured. While the consumer has been resilient, elevated inflation expectations, concerns about trade policies and tariffs, and general economic and policy uncertainty could pose potential risks to future spending.0 20 40

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) fell by 0.1% in May, following a downwardly revised 1.4% decline in April. The LEI decreased by 4.0% year-over-year. The rebound in the stock market was the primary positive contributor, offset by consumer pessimism, weak new orders in manufacturing, the second consecutive month of rising initial unemployment claims, and a drop in housing permits.
The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) improved to -0.28 in May from a downwardly revised -0.36 in April. The three-month moving average dropped to -0.16 in May from 0.06 in April, indicating slightly below trend growth.

Homebuilder confidence is shaky due to elevated mortgage rates, affordability constraints, and a weakening economic outlook. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged approximately 6.8% in June. According to the Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index, housing prices rose 3.4% year-over-year in April, compared to 4.1% in March. Limited inventory, elevated mortgage rates, and lack of affordability continue to weigh on the housing market.

The ISM Services index increased to 50.8 in June from 49.9 in May, as new orders improved. However, ongoing concerns about the impact of tariffs remain. A reading over 50 indicates expansion, while a reading under 50 indicates contraction.

This marks the first negative quarter since 2022.
The primary driver of the downward revision was weaker personal consumption expenditures. Net exports remained the primary drag on growth, as imports rose sharply in anticipation of higher tariffs. Gross investment contributed positively, powered by business decisions to get ahead of possible cost increases. The consensus projection calls for 2.1% growth for the second quarter and 1.5% for the full year 2025.

As broadly anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left the Federal Funds Rate unchanged at the range of 4.25 - 4.50% at the June meeting. In the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), Federal Reserve officials continued to pencil in two rate cuts in 2025, while downgrading estimates for economic growth and raising forecasts for both unemployment and inflation this year. The statement indicated that uncertainty about the economic outlook remained elevated but had diminished. The monthly redemption cap on Treasuries will remain at $5 billion, while the cap on agencies and mortgage-backed securities will be maintained at $35 billion. Since the Fed began its Quantitative Tightening campaign in June 2022, securities holdings have declined by about $2.2 trillion to approximately $6.7 trillion.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
2025 Chandler Asset Management, Inc, An Independent Registered Investment Adviser.
Information contained herein is confidential. Prices are provided by ICE Data Services Inc (“IDS”), an independent pricing source. In the event IDS does not provide a price or if the price provided is not reflective of fair market value, Chandler will obtain pricing from an alternative approved third party pricing source in accordance with our written valuation policy and procedures. Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A.
Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Economic factors, market conditions or changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may materially alter the performance and results of your portfolio.
Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Source ICE Data Indices, LLC (“ICE”), used with permission. ICE permits use of the ICE indices and related data on an “asis” basis; ICE, its affiliates and their respective third party suppliers disclaim any and all warranties and representations, express and or implied, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use, including the indices, index data and any data included in, related to, or derived therefrom. Neither ICE data, its affiliates or their respective third party providers guarantee the quality, adequacy, accuracy, timeliness or completeness of the indices or the index data or any component thereof, and the indices and index data and all components thereof are provided on an “as is” basis and licensee’s use it at licensee’s own risk. ICE data, its affiliates and their respective third party do not sponsor, endorse, or recommend chandler asset management, or any of its products or services.
This report is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a specific investment or legal advice. The information contained herein was obtained from sources believed to be reliable as of the date of publication, but may become outdated or superseded at any time without notice. Any opinions or views expressed are based on current market conditions and are subject to change. This report may contain forecasts and forward-looking statements which are inherently limited and should not be relied upon as indicator of future results. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This report is not intended to constitute an offer, solicitation, recommendation or advice regarding any securities or investment strategy and should not be regarded by recipients as a substitute for the exercise of their own judgment.
Fixed income investments are subject to interest, credit and market risk. Interest rate risk: the value of fixed income investments will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk: the possibility that the borrower may not be able to repay interest and principal. Low rated bonds generally have to pay higher interest rates to attract investors willing to take on greater risk. Market risk: the bond market in general could decline due to economic conditions, especially during periods of rising interest rates.
Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, s&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities “MBS” reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest. 40 F.3.a

AGENDA TITLE: Adoption of Resolution No. 45-25 Establishing the Property Tax Rates for the General Obligation Bond Series 2014 and Series 2016 for Fiscal Year 2025-26 RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 45-25 Establishing the Property Tax Rates for Bonded Indebtedness for Fiscal Year 2025-26; and, direct Staff to provide the information to the Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller for preparation of the tax levy.
BACKGROUND:
The voters in Orinda authorized two General Obligation Bond measures by a two-thirds vote, increasing taxes to repair streets and storm drains. Each year, the City must establish the tax rate necessary to generate sufficient property tax revenue necessary to repay the bonds.
On June 3, 2014, voters in Orinda authorized the issuance of $20 million in General Obligation Bonds for Road and Storm Drain Repair Projects. The bonds were issued in two separate transactions of $10 million each. The first issuance occurred in March 2015, (“2014 General Obligation Bonds, Series A”) and the second issuance of $10 million was completed in April 2017 (“2014 General Obligation Bonds, Series B”).
On June 7, 2016, voters in Orinda authorized the issuance of an additional $25 million in General Obligation Bonds for Road and Storm Drain Projects. In April 2017, the City issued Bonds for the entire $25 million authorized (“2016 General Obligation Bonds, Series A”).
General Obligation Bonds are payable from a dedicated ad valorem tax on property within the City. The property tax levy is set once a year, typically in July or early August.
The taxes placed on the roll generate revenues in December and April. By requesting that the County place the tax on the roll for Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City can ensure that tax revenues are available to make scheduled debt service payments on the General Obligation Bonds that are due in March 2026 and September of 2026.
The ad valorem tax is calculated annually based on preliminary assessed property values (AV) as adjusted for exemptions and delinquencies. This is then compared to the debt service schedule for each of the three different bond issues to develop a tax rate that will collect the necessary funding. The amount required is also adjusted to the extent there is any estimated excess cash on hand from the previous year’s taxes that can be applied towards the debt service. The format of the calculation historically used by the City was developed in consultation with representatives of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company (Stifel), who served as the underwriters for each of these bond issues.
F.6
Packet Pg. 103
The annual tax rate will fluctuate throughout the bond repayment period. Factors that impact on the tax rate include a) increases or decreases in the scheduled debt service payments; b) increases or decreases in the assessed valuations; and c) estimated excess cash on hand that can be applied towards debt service.
DISCUSSION:
Resolution No. 45-25 has been prepared to request that Contra Costa County levy a tax on property within the City necessary to provide the funding required for the outstanding General Obligation Bonds (Attachment A). The format used by the County is to present the calculation based on a rate per $100 of Assessed Valuation. For informational purposes, Staff have also provided the rate per $100,000 of assessed value in the table below as well as a comparison to the 2024-25 Tax Levy. Details of the calculation are included in Attachment B.

$ 0.0160 $16.00 $17.90
Total G.O. Bond Tax Levy $ 0.0270 $27.00 $29.70
The combined rate for the upcoming year is lower than the rate levied last year primarily due to the increase in taxable secured assessed valuation from $9,763,659,673 to $10,172,464,883 while the changes in the other factors (cash on hand and debt service due) were relatively immaterial.
As part of the bond financing process, estimates were prepared by Stifel to project the highest tax rate required to service the debt. The amount levied in 2025-26 remains below the estimates presented in the Tax Rate Statement financing documents. The “Highest Estimated Tax Rate” for the 2014 authorization was $20.00 compared to the proposed $11.00. The “Highest Estimated Tax Rate” for the 2016 authorization was $21.47 compared to the proposed $16.00.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon adoption, Staff will provide the request for the tax levy to Contra Costa County officials for inclusion on the 2025-26 Property Tax bills that are distributed to property owners after September 1, 2025.
F.6
Packet Pg. 104
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Resolution will ensure property tax revenues are available, as approved by the voters of Orinda, to make debt service payments on the City’s General Obligation Bonds as they come due. The rates are estimated to result in taxes totaling $2,731,238.

BACKGROUND:
At their April 7, 2025 meeting, the City Council awarded the subject construction contract to Satellite Painting, Inc. for an amount of $172,000, with a contingency of 25% ($43,000).
DISCUSSION:
Work under this contract began April 22, 2025.

The additional work was approved under two change orders, which totaled $38,500, increasing the total contract value to $210,500. All the work has been completed in accordance with the contract specifications.
To issue the payment of the final retention ($10,525, five percent of contract value) to the contractor and close out the contract, it is presented for acceptance by the City Council.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon City Council approval, the Public Works Director will sign the Notice of Completion, and the City Clerk will record it with Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder’s office. Retention will be released in accordance with the contract documents and the Public Contract Code. It should be noted that the City intends to withhold an amount of $2,000 from the retention payment to account for required documentation not yet received from the contractor. This concerns technical details and product information on wood sealers/stains used, which the contractor has not yet provided. Said withheld amount will not be released until such information is received.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP Projects #4083, #4175 and #4182 cover exterior painting of the Community Center, Library and City Hall, and are included in the approved CIP (capital improvement plan).
There is sufficient balance in each of the projects to cover this contract expenditure.
Funding is provided by Fund #700 (Capital Improvement), Fund #520 (Library Assessment) and Fund #603 (Building Maintenance).

AGENDA TITLE: Award Construction Contract to Miksis Services Inc. for Annual Storm Drain Repair Project (Category B) (CIP #5008 and #5009) RECOMMENDATION:
Award a construction contract to Miksis Services Inc. for Annual Storm Drain Repair Project (Category B), authorize a contingency of 25%, and approve plans for the project.
BACKGROUND:
The City developed a Storm Drain Repair Plan in 2019, which identified pipes that require repairs due primarily to deterioration of corrugated metal pipes (CMP). The pipes were prioritized for repair in two categories, A and B. The Category A pipes are large diameter pipes under arterial and collector roads that were judged to require replacement in three to five years’ time. All the Category A pipes were programmed in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Most of the pipes have been repaired and the remaining ones are scheduled to be completed in summer 2026. Category B pipes are smaller diameter pipes that were judged to require replacement in five to 10 years’ time.
The Category B pipes are programmed as part of annual pavement rehabilitation projects or as separate annual repair projects, which are included in the CIP. With each annual project, the City generally works down the priority list to repair such storm drains.
The subject work combines two years’ worth of Category B projects, #5008 (“2024 Annual Category B Storm Drain Repairs”) and #5009 (“2025 Annual Category B Storm Drain Repairs”). Certain pipes required additional evaluation through CCTV internal inspection which delayed the 2024 project, and Staff determined it would be more efficient to combine both years projects into one contract. The work will consist of repairing eight pipes at six locations. The repairs will primarily use trenchless construction methods by lining the CMP’s with PVC liners. One location will require open trench replacement due to the severity of the pipe’s rusted flowline and installation of a new inlet and manhole.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with the Municipal Code purchasing requirements and the Public Contract Code, the City advertised for bids for the subject work on July 15, 2025. Four bids were received on August 12, 2025. The bid results are shown below:
Bidders Total Bid
Miksis Services Inc., Healdsburg, CA $408,510
Golden State Construction & Utility Inc, San Francisco, CA $674,000 F.8
Packet Pg. 113
CEAU Co. DBA Castillon Company, Oakland, CA $712,514
FJ&I Engineering Inc., San Pablo, CA $749,610
The engineer’s estimate for the bids was $615,000. Staff reviewed the bids and determined that Miksis Services Inc. is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and therefore recommends that the contract be awarded to them for $408,510. Staff recommends a 25% contingency which would allow expenditures up to $510,000, to allow for change orders, if warranted. The current available funding for the project is $665,000.
In addition to awarding the bid, approval of the construction plans (Attachment A) is recommended, in accordance with design immunity defense requirements listed under California Government Code Section 830.6.
With respect to CEQA guidelines, the project was determined to be Categorically Exempt under section 15301, class 1, and a Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Clerk.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon approval of the award, the contract (standard city construction contract) will be routed for signatures. Project construction is estimated to begin in October 2025, after materials are ordered, and to be completed in November 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The potential total construction contract value, including contingency, is $510,000. The budgeted amount for construction for the two subject CIP projects is $605,000 ($290,000 under #5008 and $315,000 under #5009), which is therefore sufficient to cover this contract. Funding is provided by Fund 106, Measure R Add-on sales tax.

Staff Report
Agenda Item: G.1
Date: August 19, 2025
Department: City Council
AGENDA TITLE: Annual Review of Wilder Development Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a public hearing and find OG Property Owners, LLC in substantial compliance with all the terms of the Second Amendment and Restatement of the Development and Pre-Annexation Agreement for Gateway Valley, as amended.
BACKGROUND:
On November 15, 1994, the City Council entered into a development agreement with Pacific New Wave Corporation (PNW) setting forth terms related to the development of Gateway Valley, located south of SR 24 and Gateway Boulevard, now referred to as the Wilder Development. OG Property Owners, LLC (OGLLC) acquired the Gateway Property in November 1996 from PNW and is bound by the terms of the 1994 Development Agreement, as amended. Over the years, there have been nine subsequent amendments.
On March 15, 2005, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement (DA) which provides for development of up to 245 detached single-family residences, and contains provisions for five on-site City playfields, parks, open space, trails, and a community Art and Garden Center (“A&G Center”). The DA also provides the City with substantial financial contributions toward the A&G Center and other community amenities.
Since 2005, there have been additional amendments to the DA. The Seventh DA Amendment, approved in 2016, the Eighth DA Amendment, approved in 2018, and the Ninth DA Amendment, approved in 2024.
• The Seventh DA Amendment approved the Wilder Residential Development Standards and Design Review Process that govern the design, the development, and the process for reviewing plans for new homes in the Wilder Project. This Amendment also specified the components of the Art & Garden Center facility and relocated it to Wilder Park. In addition, OG committed to developing a trailhead area at the former Art & Garden Center location, the red-tailed hawk staging area.
• The Eighth DA Amendment, among other changes, included the adoption of the “Wilder 2018 Circulation Plan,” which depicts the system of trails, paths, roads, meanders and neighborhood connections throughout the Wilder Project. The Wilder 2018 Circulation Plan replaced and superseded the text and figures in the G.1
Packet Pg. 125
Development Agreement, Final Development Plan, the four Final Maps, and the Final Landscape Master Plan.
• The Ninth DA Amendment acknowledged the possible future implementation of a BART/downtown shuttle as having been assigned to the Wilder Homeowners’ Association; removed the requirement for OGLLC to construct the red-tailed hawk staging area, and provided that the entities authorized to take title to the soil disposal area are also authorized to take title to the red-tailed hawk staging area; and reduced the amount of liability insurance that OGLLC is required to maintain.
Annual Review Process
Annual reviews of development agreements are mandated by Government Code Section 65865.1. Article 6 of the DA sets forth detailed procedures for this annual review, beginning with OGLLC’s submittal of a report setting forth its “good faith compliance with the [DA’s] terms and conditions.” OGLLC’s annual review report shall be accompanied by documents and other information reasonably necessary to enable the City Manager to prepare the staff report to the City Council on OGLLC's good faith compliance with the terms of the DA. DA § 6.2. DA section 6.3 provides that the City Manager shall review the annual review report “to ascertain whether Orinda Gateway LLC has complied in good faith with the terms of this Agreement and shall prepare a staff report to the City Council on the City Manager’s conclusions and recommendations.”
The City Council is required to conduct a public hearing at which OGLLC and any other interested persons may submit evidence, written or oral, and may address all the issues that are raised in this Staff Report or that are relevant to the issue of OGLLC’s good faith compliance with the DA. DA § 6.4. After considering all the evidence at the public hearing, the City Council shall determine, based on substantial evidence, whether OGLLC has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of the DA and related approvals and agreements. The meaning of the term “good faith” varies somewhat with the context in which it is used. However, courts often apply rules of contract interpretation for development agreements.
“Good faith performance or enforcement of a contract emphasizes faithfulness to an agreed common purpose and consistency with the justified expectations of the other party; it excludes a variety of types of conduct characterized as involving ‘bad faith’ because they violate community standards of decency, fairness or reasonableness.” Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 205, Comment a (1979). See also definition of “good faith” in Black’s Law Dictionary:
“A state of mind consisting of in (1) honesty in belief or purpose, (2) faithfulness to one’s duty or obligation, (3) observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing in a given trade or business, or (4) absence of intent to defraud or to seek unconscionable advantage.”
OGLLC is responsible for all costs that the City reasonably incurs for the annual review process. DA § 6.6.1.
G.1
Packet Pg. 126
DISCUSSION:
Remaining Obligations Under the DA and Related Approvals Financial
OGLLC is obligated to reimburse the City for costs associated with the implementation, annual monitoring, and other activities related to the DA and the project. This agreement was amended in 2024 to address remaining financial obligations related to the City that had previously been covered under the separate Subdivision Improvement Agreement and Sidewalk Agreement. OGLLC currently has sufficient funds on deposit to meet the requirements of Section 3 of the Agreement. This includes $30,000, or $5,000 per location, for the security for sidewalks remaining to be completed, the obligation for which has been assigned to future property owners in case these are not completed. The Developer may request a return of the funds only if they are current with their other obligations, including funds owed to the Geologic Hazard Abatement District. The balance will be available to reimburse the City if the Developer does not timely do so.
Below is a list of the status of the six locations that are covered by the $30,000 deposit, based on a site review conducted by the Director of Public Works and Engineering on May 29, 2025. The locations are referenced on the attached punch list prepared by consultant Theis & Assoc. on November 9, 2023. A map with the locations highlighted in yellow is included as Attachment B to this report.
1. 27 Bigleaf Rd.- House under construction, no sidewalk
2. 35 Bigleaf Rd.- House under construction, no sidewalk
3. 7 Paintbrush Ln. .- House under construction, no sidewalk
4. 9 Paintbrush Ln. – Vacant lot, no sidewalk
5. 81 Dairy Creek Ln. – House substantially complete, damaged sidewalk has been replaced
6. 85 Dairy Creek Ln. – House under construction, damaged sidewalk has been removed but not replaced
On this basis, one of the locations (81 Dairy Creek Lane, item 5 above) is complete and $5,000 is eligible for release once OGLLC is current with their other obligations.
Additionally, the Developer is obligated to maintain a minimum deposit of $100,000 (in addition to the $30,000 sidewalk deposit). The balance of the deposit account is retained by the City.
Based on the information above, OGLLC is in compliance with their financial obligations to the City.
Insurance
DA section 5.2 requires OGLLC to maintain liability insurance insuring against bodily injury, property damage and personal injury liability arising out of OGLLC’s activities under the DA, with a combined single liability limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 G.1
Packet Pg. 127
(subject to the CPI) per occurrence. OGLLC has provided the City with Insurance Certificates documenting compliance with this requirement.
Completion of Obligations Prior to Transfer of Preserve Areas The Project’s 2006 Resource Management Plan (“RMP”), approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (“CDFW”), sets forth OGLLC’s obligations before the Wilder Preserve Areas can be transferred to the Long Term Landowners – the Orinda Geologic Hazard Abatement District (“GHAD”), the East Bay Regional Park District (“EBRPD”), and the East Bay Municipal Utilities District (“EBMUD”). OGLLC is working with the State and resources agencies to ensure that the obligations of the RMP are met.
Prior to transfer of ownership of open space preserve areas to the GHAD, the EBRPD, and the EBMUD, the OGLLC is responsible for installing Grazing Plan infrastructure in open space areas pursuant to the DA. CDFW and other resources agencies are taking the lead on pursuing compliance with their permit requirements and taking steps necessary prior to the anticipated transfer of the preserve areas to the GHAD, EBRPD and EBMUD. The City will continue to monitor, share information, and cooperate in that process. Timing for the anticipated transfer remains uncertain.

Re: Annual Review of Wilder Project
INTRODUCTION
Gateway Development Agreement On November 15, 1994, the City Council entered into a development agreement with Pacific New Wave Corporation (“PNW”) setting forth terms related to the development of Gateway Valley, located south of SR 24 and Gateway Boulevard, now referred to as the Wilder Development. Over the years, there have been nine subsequent amendments. OGLLC, which acquired the Gateway Property in November 1996, is bound by the terms of the 1994 Development Agreement, as amended.
This Annual Review reflects all prior amendments, including the Ninth DA Amendment, adopted in January 2024.
2025 REPORT
The resolution of all remaining issues and outstanding obligations related to Wilder have been approached on a bifurcated basis:
Subdivision Improvements
The obligations related to the completion of the “internal” subdivision improvements and related obligations have been fully resolved, fully completed and expressly accepted by the City of Orinda (“City”). In January 2024, the City approved a Ninth Development Agreement Amendment, Final Development Plan Clarification, and Amended Reimbursement Agreement. A key component of this is that the improvements required under the Subdivision Improvement Agreement have been satisfied and that will allow for the release of the remaining subdivision bonds with any remaining financial considerations addressed in the Amendment Reimbursement Agreement. Pursuit to the direction previously provided by the City Council, these recommended actions represent a comprehensive resolution of the subdivision related items that remain outstanding after the balance of items were been completed by the OGLLC to the City’s satisfaction. Outlined below are the relevant provisions of each of the items which the City Council approved in January 2024.

2 Ninth Development Agreement Amendment
There were three provisions that were amended with the Ninth Amendment:
• The first acknowledged that OGLLC’s obligation for a Wilder BART Shuttle has been assigned to the Wilder Homeowners Association via their approved CC&R’s. • The second modified the on-going insurance requirements to reduce the level of coverage the Developer needs to provide to be the City’s standard level of $1 Million now that construction and other higher risk activities have concluded. • The third modification was the elimination of the Red Hawk Staging Area which was planned for the upper portion of Wiler Road.
Final Development Plan Modification
The FDP Amendment incorporated several planning entitlements, ordinances, and related approvals that are relevant to governing current and future development in Wilder into the FDP by reference so that all governing standards can be found in one place and reflects the elimination of the Red Hawk Staging Area per the request of the EBRPD.
Subdivision Improvement Agreement, Reimbursement Agreement, and Sidewalk Agreement The following funds remain on deposit with the City:
• Developer Deposit Account Subdivision Deposit Accounts – Approximately $55,000.00. • Subdivision Deposit Accounts – Approximately $101,000.00 • Other Deposit Accounts - Approximately $50,000.00
Of these amounts, $30,000, or $5,000 per location, is considered as security for sidewalks remaining to be completed, the obligation for which have been assigned to future property owners in case these are not completed. The Developer may request return of the $30,000 in $5,000 increments as the sidewalks are completed.
OGLLC is working with the City to verify the terms of a “Tree Deposit” made in 2009.
Resource Management Plan
OGLLC is working with the State and resources agencies to ensure that the obligations are met related to the open space areas (subject to conservation easements) to be owned long-term by the Orinda Geologic Hazard Abatement District, the East Bay Municipal Utilities District, and the East Bay Regional Parks District:
• The 10-year “Initial Monitoring Period” under the Resource Management Plan (“RMP”) ended in July 2016 (10 years after the commencement of grading operations in July 2006).
OGLLC completed its monitoring obligations and provided all final reports to the Responsible Agencies, including those for endangered and threatened species, habitat areas, riparian planting areas, and wetlands areas as well as Wildlife Heritage Foundation’s annual monitoring reports. OGLLC is actively involved with the Responsible Agencies final completion of the RMP.

3 • Long Term Landowners of open space preserve areas include the Geological Hazards Abatement District (“GHAD”), East Bay Regional Park District (“EBRPD”), and East Bay Municipal Utility District (“EBMUD”), and the conservation easements for these areas are held by Wildlife Heritage Foundation (“WHF”). OGLLC is working with these groups and various regulatory agencies with the goal of transferring open space preserve areas to the Long-Term Landowners in 2025.
• In 2022-2024, OGLLC completed minor improvements and repairs and initiated further work with the Long-Term Landowners on the Grazing Plan, Long Term Management Plan, and financial analyses related to endowments funded in 2011. All of the Grazing Plans were completed in 2024. EBRPD unilaterally decided to revise their plan – and that work is still in process. The other two Grazing Plans were approved by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (“CDFW”).
• Remaining items in the Grazing Plans are currently being discussed with the GHAD, EBRPD and EBMUD. OGLLC has presented CDFW its analysis that concluded that the endowments are sufficient and will work with the Responsible Agencies to secure equitable use of the funds.
Signage and Lighting Plan
The City and OGLLC, with input and cooperation from EBRPD, will review and update the Signage and Lighting Plan for the project to ensure the signage and lighting ensure clear wayfinding and pedestrian/bicycle and driver convenience and safety. EBRPD has agreed to the conceptual designs, and OGLLC will work with the City and EBRPD on its final implementation.

Department: City Council
AGENDA TITLE: Fire Safe Moraga-Orinda Funding Request
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive report from Staff, as well as presentation from Fire Safe Moraga-Orinda.
Discuss the request and provide direction to Staff.
BACKGROUND:
Last year, upon incorporation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Fire Safe Moraga-Orinda (FSMO), with the assistance of City of Orinda staff and its contract grant writers, applied for and was awarded $100,000 from the California Fire Safe Council. The funding is designated to support defensible space and fuel mitigation projects in Orinda and Moraga, as well as in unincorporated areas served by Moraga Orinda Fire District (MOFD).
Under the FSMO model, eligible projects may receive up to a 50% cost share, with a maximum organizational contribution of $10,000 for projects totaling $20,000 or more.
To qualify, the project must include a minimum of five neighboring households willing to assume financial responsibility for half or more of the project cost. FSMO additionally provides comprehensive project management services to ensure all mitigation activities are performed in accordance with recognized best practices for fire fuel reduction.
Recently, the organization has also suggested exemptions for low-income, disabled, elderly, or otherwise financially burdened individuals from the cost-share requirement.
Currently, due to a prolonged reimbursement process on the California Fire Safe Council’s side, the organization is using funds raised from private donations to pay contractors. As a result of this financial constraint, three of the six approved projects have been put on hold, pending the release of the grant funds to FSMO.
On March 7, 2025, the City received a funding request from FSMO, asking the City Council to consider contributing $400,000 in funding annually for a three-year period to support 30 Neighborhood Defensible Space projects each year, as well as support staff for project management and increased Firewise neighborhood outreach.
DISCUSSION:
In response to the request from FSMO, Staff communicated with Marc Evans to discuss the request in greater detail to provide the City Council additional context to the request.
Staff was seeking additional details about how the organization would manage, track, and account for funds to ensure that Orinda tax dollars are used exclusively for projects and staff time within Orinda.
H.1
Packet Pg. 134
To the latter matter of staff time, Mr. Evans clarified that FSMO employees are contractors, with the Executive Director (ED) focusing on project management of the Neighborhood Defensible Space projects and tracking time based upon each individual neighborhood project grant. Additionally, the Communications Specialist (CS) role focuses on coordinating the Orinda Firewise Network and includes website development, newsletter distribution, and meeting coordination. Since this position operates district-wide and supports efforts that benefit Orinda yet are not specific or easy to define such FSMO proposes limiting its funding request to a maximum of 50 percent of the position’s cost.
For financial accountability, FSMO has retained Werner Accounting Services, the same firm that supports the Diablo Fire Safe Council. Based on Werner’s guidance, FSMO adopted QuickBooks Online for budget and ledger management to improve its transparency and ability to meet all reporting requirements for grants.
City staff sought clarification on the project selection process and MOFD’s role in prioritization. Mr. Evans confirmed that projects are selected through a competitive application process and in collaboration with MOFD. Notably, Mr. Evans emphasized that MOFD has designated the entire jurisdiction as a Wildland-Urban Interface, highlighting the widespread wildfire risk throughout the region. To this point, FSMO does not use geographic location as the sole criterion for project prioritization. Winddriven embers, a leading cause of structure loss during wildfires, render hyper-local prioritization impractical.
FSMO has also formally submitted funding requests to the Town of Moraga and MOFD.
It is seeking financial support to continue advancing its mission:
“To protect our community from wildfire by providing grant funding to property owners for the purpose of hazardous fuel removal.”
Based on the review of FSMO’s request and subsequent follow up questions, Staff is confident in FSMO’s approach to segregating funds for Orinda projects, as well as the staff support for those projects.
Should the City Council be interested in annual support for FSMO, Staff would recommend the following:
• Refer the matter to the Supplemental Sales Tax Oversight Commission for further review with additional guidance/parameters from the City Council; and • Consider what modifications, if any, would be necessary to existing programs currently being offered by the City, including the current fuel reduction incentive program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Should the City Council be interested in supporting this request for annual funding, the City would use Measure R funds to accommodate up to $400,000 annually for a period H.1
Packet Pg. 135
of three years. This amount would be offset by existing programmed funding, if the City Council were interested in shifting this responsibility to FSMO.

Mayor Malkani,
Fire Safe Moraga-Orinda (FSMO), a 501(c)(3) non-profit, requests funding from the City of Orinda to help residents within Orinda prepare for and respond to potenDal wildfire. We request consideraDon of $400,000 annual funding; over a three-year period this is $1,200,000.
If funding is provided, this request would:
1. Fund approximately thirty (30) FSMO Neighborhood Defensible Space Projects each year; with an esDmated annual Orinda funding of $300,000. Each project would be a 50/50 cost share where the City of Orinda would provide up to $10,000 per project and the resident group would match the Orinda funded amount, up to $10,000. Cost share allocaDons funded by City of Orinda, for each group of Orinda parcels, would not exceed $10,000 (e.g., cost share maximum allocaDon match of $10,000 provided to residents). If an Orinda resident group requests work that exceeds $20,000 total by the selected Fire Fuels Removal Contractor, the residents would be required to pay 100% of any amount above $20,000 or reduce their project scope. These Neighborhood Defensible Space projects would help approximately 300 Orinda residents annually.
2. Fund a FSMO ExecuDve Director posiDon to manage the FSMO Neighborhood Defensible Space Project porcolio and support outreach to residents across Orinda regarding availability and requirements of these grants. EsDmated annual Orinda funding of $50,000.
This funding request is 1/3 the cost for a full-Dme ExecuDve Director. Please note the current FSMO ExecuDve Director works part-Dme but is available to increase their Dme commitment if this funding is provided.
H.1.a
Packet Pg. 137 Attachment: Fire Safe Moraga Orinda Funding Request Letter (3686 : Fire Safe Moraga-Orinda Funding Request) 2 3. Fund a New Firewise CommunicaDon Specialist. This Firewise posiDon was recently added to the FSMO organizaDon and is a key enabler to increase engagement of ALL residents across Orinda. EsDmated annual Orinda funding of $50,000. This posiDon supports exisDng Moraga-Orinda Firewise Network (MOFN) Neighborhoods and creaDon of New Firewise Neighborhoods via website update and improvement, monthly newsleCer, support for MOFN bi-monthly Leaders meeDng, and support of outreach events including the Annual City of Orinda Wildfire Safety and Preparedness Fair. This funding request funds 40% of this posiDon.
Please let me know if you have quesDons or you would like a formal proposal / presentaDon in the future.
