Agenda No. 12 C

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joyce Halabi, Deputy City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy
CEQA: {CEQA}

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt a Resolution approving the Artificial Intelligence Policy, Council Policy 200-7

2. Alternatively, take other action related to this item.

DISCUSSION
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly changing landscape. Adopting an AI policy is essential in ensuring the City’s use of AI systems benefits the community, while safeguarding against potential harm.

Government agencies across the country are facing similar challenges, balancing limited resources with the demand for City services. AI has the potential to improve services and expand capacity in a resource constrained environment. Countless government agencies have adopted AI tools to enhance an array of services for their residents, while safeguarding against potential harm.

Adoption of this policy will establish the governance framework for the City of Pacific Grove to begin exploring AI tools for enhanced service delivery.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
Artificial Intelligence is not new; AI is used in common, everyday tools/applications, including google/apple maps, digital assistants like Siri/Alexa, or streaming services (like Netflix, Spotify).

Although in existence for some time, recent AI advancements have made AI tools more accessible.

AI serves as an umbrella term and encompasses an array of applications, including generative AI, predictive AI, and more; the common thread is that these applications learn from data.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is formally defined by the United States Code 15 U.S.C. 9401(3) as a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems use machine- and human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.

PGCC 5-20-26

or action.

Government agencies have begun harnessing AI tools for public benefit, while mitigating potential risk, in a myriad of ways. Examples include, but are not limited to, live meeting transcription, translation services, assistance with permit review, website chatbot assistants that summarize publicly available City data and answer constituent questions, traffic congestion analysis, and infrastructure analysis to efficiently prioritize repair and maintenance.

AI POLICY
This proposed policy establishes a flexible governance framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems used by, or on behalf of, the City. The policy enables the City to use AI systems for the benefit of the community while safeguarding against potential harm. Key elements include establishing guiding principles, defining roles and responsibilities, and defining prohibited uses.

The Guiding Principles for responsible AI use, establish values with regards to how AI systems are purchased, configured, operated or maintained. The Guiding Principles are as follows:

Human-Centered Design: AI Systems are developed and deployed with a human centered approach that evaluates AI powered services for their impact on the public and the community.

1. Security & Safety: AI systems maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability through safeguards that prevent unauthorized access and use. Implementation of AI systems is reliable and safe, and minimizes risks to individuals, society, and the environment.

2. Privacy: Privacy is preserved in all AI systems by safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII) sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, and manipulation.

3. Transparency: The purpose and use of AI systems is proactively communicated and disclosed to the public on the City’s website. An AI system, its data sources, operational model, and its use are understandable and documented. Disclosure is required when City data is used in external AI tools.

4. Equity: AI systems support equitable outcomes for everyone. Bias in AI systems is effectively managed with the intention of reducing harm for anyone impacted by its use.

5. Accountability & Compliance: Roles and responsibilities govern the deployment and maintenance of AI systems, and human oversight ensures adherence to relevant laws and regulations.

6. Effectiveness: AI systems are reliable, meet their objectives, and deliver precise and dependable outcomes for the utility and contexts in which they are deployed.

7. Workforce Empowerment: Staff are empowered to use AI in their roles through education, training, and collaborations that promote participation and opportunity.

8. These guiding principles help safeguard against potential risks of AI tools by establishing core principles by which all AI usage will adhere to.

Additionally, proposed use of AI tools will undergo review to assess any potential risk, to obtain necessary technical documentation about the AI system, and to ensure compliance with data standards and best practices as established in the Policy.

This policy establishes the general governance framework for AI use. Additional internal AI guidelines, procedures, and training materials will be created by the IT team to supplement this policy, providing staff more detailed guidance, use cases, and detailed best practices, and will be updated as needed to reflect technological advancements, operational needs, and evolving industry standards. All additional materials will be aligned with this policy.

Policy Development

The template used as the basis for the policy was developed by the GovAI Coalition and recommended for use by the City’s insurer, California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA). The GovAI Coalition is composed of government members from local, state, and federal agencies united to promote responsible and purposeful AI in the public sector. The coalition is led by the City of San Jose’s Information Technology Department.

The policy brought forward has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.

OPTIONS

1. Adopt the Policy

All uses of AI must comply with applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies related to data protection, security, privacy, and acceptable use. The City will review and update this policy and related supporting documents as needed to maintain alignment with legal, ethical, and technological developments.

The City defines “artificial intelligence” or “AI” to be a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.1 AI systems use machine- and human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.

The City defines an “AI system” to be any data system, software, hardware, application, tool, or utility that operates in whole or in part using AI.

II. SCOPE
This policy applies to:

1. All City-deployed AI systems, and any use of City data within AI tools by individuals with access to City data or systems; and

2. Staff (full-time, part-time), interns, consultants, contractors, partners, and volunteers who may be purchasing, configuring, developing, operating, or maintaining the City’s AI systems or who may be leveraging AI systems to provide services to the City.

III. GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR RESPONSIBLE AI SYSTEMS
Usage of AI Systems shall adhere to the following principles:

1. Human-Centered Design: AI Systems are developed and deployed with a human centered approach that evaluates AI powered services for their impact on the public and the community.

2. Security & Safety: AI systems maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability through safeguards that prevent unauthorized access and use. Implementation of AI systems is reliable and safe, and minimizes risks to individuals, society, and the environment.

5. Ensure the appropriate use of City data within all AI tools in compliance with internal policies, standards, practices, and training requirements, including prohibiting the use of non-public or confidential information in publicly available AI tools.

Prohibited Uses
The use of certain AI systems is prohibited due to the sensitive nature of the information processed and severe potential risk. This includes the following prohibited purposes:
• Real-time and covert biometric identification;
• Emotion analysis, or the use of computer vision techniques to classify human facial and body movements into certain emotions or sentiment (e.g., positive, negative, neutral, happy, angry, nervous);
• Fully automated decisions that substantially impact the rights or safety of individuals with no meaningful human oversight;
• Social scoring, or the use of AI systems to track and classify individuals based on their behaviors, socioeconomic status, or personal characteristics; and • Cognitive behavioral manipulation of people or specific vulnerable groups.

If staff become aware of an instance where an AI has caused harm or been used for a prohibited purpose, staff must report the instance to their supervisor, the IT Manager, and the Office of Employee Relations no later than 24 hours after discovery.

Reporting AI Concerns and Incidents
The City is committed to the safe and equitable use of Artificial Intelligence. To support this:
o Proactive Reporting: If staff observe algorithmic bias, ethical concerns, or become aware of an instance where an AI system has the potential to cause harm, staff must PGCC 5-20-26

Page 367 ends

4910-9796-4971, v. 1
immediately suspend use of the tool and report the concern to their direct supervisor and the IT Manager.
o Incident Reporting: If an AI system has already caused unintended harm or a data breach, staff must report the instance to their supervisor, the IT Manager no later than 24 hours after discovery.

The City is subject to the California Public Records Act (CPRA). City staff must follow all current procedures for records retention and disclosure. Information entered into AI systems could be subject to a CPRA request. This also applies when City data is processed in external AI tools.

Sunset Procedures
If an AI system operated by the City or on its behalf ceases to provide a positive outcome to the City as determined by the staff or IT Manager, then the City must halt the use of that system unless express exception is provided by the IT Manager. If the abrupt cessation of the use of that AI system would significantly disrupt the delivery of services, a gradual phased out approach must be approved by the IT Manager before sunsetting.

All measures to minimize the impact and recovery must be considered in the termination or phase out protocol, including but not limited to:
• Ownership and future access of data;
• Portability of the AI model, algorithm, and/or data; and • Impact to services, users, and residents
Violations of the AI Policy
Violations of any section of the AI Policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Violations made by a third party while operating an AI system on behalf of the City may result in a breach of contract, termination of contract, and/or pursuit of damages. Infractions that violate local, state, federal or international law may be remanded to the proper authorities.

Restricted Platform Alternatives
If the City restricts access to certain AI platforms, whenever practicable, the City will PGCC 5-20-26

Page 368 ends

4910-9796-4971, v. 1
provide a URL redirect to an internal website that will provide the employee with alternative AI platforms which have been vetted and approved by the City for use.

The purpose of this policy is to help prevent the exfiltration of City data. This approach allows employees to choose amongst various platforms which meet applicable privacy and security standards established by the City to facilitate productivity. The IT Manager will perform regular assessments of AI platforms and to regularly monitor platforms so that the City can restrict and remove access in the event of a security or privacy incident.

VIII. Terms & Definitions
Artificial Intelligence: “Artificial intelligence” or “AI” to be a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. Artificial intelligence systems use machine- and human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.

Algorithm: A series of logical steps through which an agent (typically a computer or software program) turns particular inputs into particular outputs.

AI system: Any system, software, sensor, or process that automatically generates outputs including, but not limited to, predictions, recommendations, or decisions that augment or replace human decision-making. This extends to software, hardware, algorithms, and data generated by these systems, used to automate large-scale processes or analyze large data sets.

IX. Acknowledgement
Elements of this policy were derived from templates developed by GovAI Coalition, a coordinated efforts of over 150 California state and local agencies who are dedicated to the responsible and purposeful use of AI that benefits all members of the community.

Agenda No. 13 A

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Gho, Public Works Director/Deputy City Manager MEETING DATE: May 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2026/27 Capital Improvements Program CEQA: {CEQA}

RECOMMENDATION
Received and approve the update, including the two additional projects, to the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and

1. Approve the commitment of $750,000 from General fund reserves for the Pier at Lover Point to act as a match for grant opportunities, and

2. 3. Approve a resolution adopting the FY 2026/27 Senate Bill 1 Project List, or

4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

DISCUSSION
Two-Year Capital Improvement Plan
Annually the city adopts a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The budget, which establishes the financial framework for the forthcoming year, is comprised of two primary components – the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and the Operating Budget.

Last year, the City transitioned to a two-year budget, encompassing the proposed expenses, revenues, and projects for FY25/26 and FY26/27. Biennial budgeting allows for enhanced efficiency and improves long-term planning.

The CIP presented in the two-year budget report spans FY25/26 and FY26/27. Prior to the start of FY26/27, any adjustments, including new projects prompted by more available funding or urgent need, have to be brought to Council for review and approval. In this report, staff will also present an SB1 Project List and Resolution specifying road segments to receive rehabilitation in FY26/27. This is in compliance with the California Transportation Commission’s (CTC) annual requirements.

What is a Capital Improvement and the CIP?
Council Policy 400-6, Budget and Financial Management, defines a Capital Improvement or asset as buildings or infrastructure with an original cost in excess of $50,000, machinery or equipment with an original cost in excess of $5,000 and a useful life of more than one year.

The CIP is a plan that:

PGCC 5-20-26

Page 373 ends

The CIP is a plan that:
• Identifies capital projects
• Provides an implementation schedule
• Identifies project financing and budgeting
• Links projects to Council strategic goals and initiatives, and • Provides project information and justification
Adopting a CIP allows systematic and comparative evaluation of multiple potential projects at the same time. The CIP also serves as a public relations and economic development tool and focuses on preserving infrastructure while ensuring efficient use of public funds. Additionally, the CIP promotes coordination of projects across city departments and helps identify efforts that may qualify for alternative funding.

Development of the CIP
Annually, the CIP process begins with a formal call for project submissions to staff. A call for projects was requested prior to FY 2025/26- 26/27 budget development. Generally, submitted projects are identified based on:
• Input received from the community
• Mayor and City Council priorities, projects or initiatives developed or identified during the year, and • Identified critical needs, including safety issues or mandated compliance.

Each submission is reviewed from a variety of approaches and criteria, including:
• Greatest need (mandates, public safety)
• Alignment with Council strategic goals and initiatives • Consequences of delay (potential to incur increased costs, asset preservation) • Readiness
• Feasibility
• Opportunities to accomplish multiple goals or align timing with other project(s) • Availability of funding (grants, community donations) Under the direction of the City Manager, the Public Works and Administrative Services Departments review the available funding levels and the proposed projects to prepare the CIP for consideration by the Mayor and Council. The proposed CIP is then presented, discussed, and acted upon by the City Council in public sessions during the budget hearings.

A solicitation for new projects was not conducted as part of the 2026/27 CIP update. As part of the 2-year budget development, solicitation for projects had been sought during the preparation of the FY 25/26 - 26/27 budget and administered during the 2 years.

Overview of the FY 2025/26 - FY 26/27 CIP
The proposed two-year CIP includes 16 projects for a total of $13.3 M from various funding sources.

The project list includes:
• 3 Multi-Funded Projects totaling $4.3M
o Funding for these projects comes from the General Fund and various non-general fund sources. o The General Funds total contribution is limited to $1M. • 11 Non-General Fund Projects totaling $9M
PGCC 5-20-26

Page 374 ends

o Project funding is derived from community donations, enterprise funds, and special revenue funds. o These projects do not impact the General Fund.

The projects span a variety of categories addressing needed upgrades to multimodal transportation, facilities, parks and recreation, and wastewater infrastructure.

Due to funding limitations, the proposed project list contains only the most critical infrastructure needs, mandated items, or requirements necessary to maintain eligibility for external funding.

General Fund
Of the total $13.3M proposed, only $1M ($500,000 per fiscal year) comes from the General Fund, reflecting minimal impact to the fund. Due to limited availability, General Funds have been harnessed solely for expenditures required to meet annual Maintenance of Effort (MOE) eligibility requirements that allow the city to receive a combined $1.2M of SB1/RMRA and Measure X funds annually. The General Fund contributions are label as “Fund 63, Capital Improvement Fund” below and in the attached supporting documents.

Non-General Funds
Where possible, non-general funds have been leveraged to support infrastructure needs, contributing a total of $12.3M across the various non-general fund sources and equating to 92% of the total proposed CIP budget.

A majority of these proposed expenditures, $11.3M, are derived from enterprise and special revenue funds, which will be harnessed to allow for critical and urgent repairs of failed infrastructure -- from degraded and leaking roofs and failed HVAC/plumbing systems to vital sewer upgrades and a life-saving altering system for our first responders. These funds have been harnessed, where applicable, to support the most urgent needs.

The non-general fund figure also includes generous community donations, totaling $1M, that will fund enhancements to existing facilities and meet community needs; these enhancements would otherwise go unfunded, as limited available funding is prioritized for mandates and essential repairs.

A high-level overview of the multi-funded projects and non-general fund projects is provided below.

The detailed list of projects, with their descriptions and requested budgets, is attached (Attachment 1 – CIP Project List).

Overview of Multi-Funded Projects
There are three (3) proposed Multi-Funded Projects:

1. Street Rehabilitation: FY 25/26 Street Rehab in progress: FY 26/27 Street Rehab list to be approved via resolution

2. Mandated ADA Improvements: Prescott Lane Sidewalk, completed in FY 25/26, & Lovers Point sidewalk under contract

3. Crack and Slurry Seal: Funding allocated for FY 26/27 These projects, funded from a combination of General Fund and non-General Fund sources, address the city’s aging road infrastructure network, pedestrian amenities, and accessibility.

PGCC 5-20-26

Page 375 ends

The Street Rehabilitation Project and Crack and Slurry Seal Project are critical investments in the aging road infrastructure network. They will enhance and preserve the pavement condition index and overall pavement health. The Street Rehabilitation Project targets roads that are rapidly deteriorating or in a failed state, while the Crack and Slurry Seal Project protects and preserves good roads for long-term durability.

The Mandated ADA Improvements Project addressed ADA compliance at Lovers Point and Prescott Avenue and is mandated by the court for completion in FY 25/26.

These projects are essential not only for addressing aging and deficient pavement and pedestrian infrastructure, but also for meeting MOE requirements necessary to secure ongoing Measure X and SB1/RMRA funding. Collectively, these three projects include a total General Fund contribution of $1M over two years ($500,000 per year) to meet MOE requirements.

These are the only proposed projects that include a General Fund contribution.

Overview of Non-General Fund Projects & Updates
There are 11 non-general fund projects:
• 4 projects are proposed to address failed facility infrastructure, including:
o Roof repairs at the Youth Center and Police Station to resolve known leaks and replace roofing systems that have exceeded their useful life: Completed FY 25/26 o Replacement of a deteriorated and damaged door and non-functional windows at City Hall that allow water intrusion and present security concerns: Under Contract and being constructed o Replacement of aged and non-repairable HVAC infrastructure critical for heating the Golf Course restaurant: Completed
• 2 projects address sewer system infrastructure deficiencies, including:
o Replacing the deteriorated force main on Arena Avenue. This segment is in dire need of replacement and has experienced two failures in recent years: Being Engineered; Construction in FY 26/27 o Repairing pumps and recalibrating meters for the Urban Diversion system, which is critical for stormwater diversion and reporting compliance: To occur in FY 26/27 • 1 project will allow critical upgrades to the Fire Station emergency alerting system by replacing the outdated, unrepairable system. It will ensure compatibility with Monterey County’s system and improve response times and clarity of alert messaging: Completed in FY 25/26 • 2 projects will continue multi-year efforts, which have been divided across fiscal years due to their large scope or permitting timelines. Engineering work for both of these proposed projects was funded in the prior year's CIPs and is in progress. The proposed additional funding allocations will allow for construction and support the prior investments of the council. These projects include:
o The Recreation Trail Improvements Project is adjacent to Esplanade Park. This project addresses pedestrian safety and continued access to the coastline and recreational amenities: Completed in FY 25/26
o Sewer Collection System Master Plan (SCSMP) Projects 1, 6 & 9. These projects address large-scale sewer deficiencies that were identified in the 10-year SCSMP plan. These are the last of the 10 sewer projects identified in the plan that have yet to be implemented. Engineering is underway, and the additional funding allocation will allow for construction in FY26/27: Construction commenced in FY 25/26 and will be completed in the winter of 26/27.
• 4 projects are proposed to address the community's desired upgrades to facilities and parks/recreation infrastructure, utilizing generous community donations. These projects include:
o 2 facility upgrades to the Pacific Grove Public Library funded by the Pacific Grove Library Friends and Foundation: Generator engineered and being permitted, and Pilar Booth being designed: Completed PGCC 5-20-26

Page 376 ends

in 26/27
o Upgrades to Chautauqua Hall funded by the Heritage Society’s Friends of Chautauqua Hall:

Architectural services underway; Anticipated release of RFP for construction in FY 26/27 o Chinese Pavilion and Moon Gate project at El Marie Dyke Park funded by the Monterey Bay Chinese Association (MBCA): Underway with Construction anticipated in FY 26/27 Formal funding agreements will return to the council following approval of the projects for inclusion in the CIP.

Funding for these projects has been approved through the FY 2025/26-26/27 by various funding sources.

FY 2026-27 CIP Additions
In addition to the projects that had been approved for funding through FY 2025/26 & 26/27, the City has two additions from non-general fund sources and one addition from the general fund, as noted below:
• Sewer System Master Plan: The City of Pacific Grove manages its sewer infrastructure through a Sewer Collection System Master Plan (SCSMP). These documents guide long-term maintenance, capital improvements, and capacity assessments for the City's 58 miles of pipelines and seven city-owned lift stations. The last SCSMP was approved by Council in 2014, which identified projects and conducted a rate study to properly generate funds for projects and operations. The City needs to commence a new SCSMP and rate study. Sewer Fund 76: $400,000 • Museum Fence Replacement Project: The fence that borders the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History gardens needs to be replaced. There is ample funding in the Museum Improvement Fund to cover expenses. Museum Fund 8: $40,000
• Pier at Lovers Point: The 100+ year old pier structure has a big influence on the beach and the park at Lovers Point. The City developed a set of construction plans that will render identified deficiencies and allow for improvements that will enhance the safety of the pier structure. The City applied for a grant through the California Coastal Conservancy and has received a pledge of $750,000 towards the estimated repairs noted at $1.5 million. In order for the Coastal Conservancy to draft and execute an agreement for $750,000, the City needs to earmark the remaining $750,000 to act as a match for the pier repairs. The Department of Public Works is actively seeking other grants to bridge the gap, but in the meantime, a match needs to occur for final execution with the Coastal Conservancy. General Fund Reserves $750,000
CIP and the California Environmental Quality Act
The CIP document is a planning document; it does not constitute approval of any specific project.

Following budget adoption, staff will assess and address the CEQA process that applies to each individual project. Projects that exceed the City Manager’s spending authority will return to Council for approval; agenda reports will include an assessment of the CEQA determination.

Senate Bill 1 Project List
As part of the CIP process, staff is recommending approval of a Resolution adopting the SB1 Project List (Attachment 2). SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017.

PGCC 5-20-26

Page 377 ends

SB1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure residents are aware of the projects proposed for funding and which projects have been completed each fiscal year. One such provision is a requirement that the city adopt a resolution of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) by July 1 of each year.

The city is estimated to receive $420,261 in RMRA funding in FY 26/27. As indicated in the attached Project List, the city is planning to use this funding in conjunction with Measure X, the General Fund, and the Sewer Fund to complete essential road rehabilitation and maintenance as prescribed in the Pavement Management Program. Specifically, SB1/RMRA funds will be allocated to the Street Rehabilitation Project, which will address the following road segments:

1. 17 Mile Drive from Sunset to Sinex, with intersection improvements at Sinex and 17 Mile (PCI 41)

2. Central Avenue from Forest to Lighthouse (PCI 37)

3. 16th Street from Laurel to Lighthouse (PCI 41)
The attached SB1 Project List includes a detailed project description, project location, proposed schedule for completion and the estimated useful life of the improvement.

This is the ninth year the City will receive SB1 funding, which will enable essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have been possible without SB1.

OPTIONS

1. Take no action.

2. Propose modifications to the FY26/27 SB1 Project List.

3. Propose modifications to the FY26/27 CIP.

4. Request additional information.

This project allows rehabilitation of road segments identified by the Pavement Management Program (PMP) as being in poor or failed condition, addressing and improving the aging road infrastructure network. This project also plays a vital role in ensuring MOE requirements are met to remain eligible for over $1M of external funding for roadways (see funding notes).

FY25/26
This project targets three road segments that have not received formal maintenance or rehabilitation in over 30 years. These segments have Pavement Condition Index (PCI) scores between 0 and 21, placing them in the "failed" category due to severe deterioration. The compromised pavement allows water intrusion, leading to dislodged sections and frequent potholes. Although crews perform regular patching to address safety hazards, these are only temporary fixes. Full rehabilitation is necessary to restore the integrity of these roadways. The segments to be addressed are:
(1) 10th Street (Central Ave to Lighthouse Ave) - PCI 10 (2) Del Monte Ave (Asilomar St to Coral St) - PCI 21
(3) Beacon (Coral St to Esplanade St) - PCI 0
The underground sewer infrastructure on each of these road segments will be videoed and addressed as an aspect of this project via the sewer fund.

FY26/27
This project will address three road segments that are heavily utilized by vehilces and pedstrian traffic. These segments have a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) scores between 37 and 41 and are nearing a failed state due to severe deterioration. Complete rehablilitation is neccesary. Along with road rehab, the City will also review the possiblity of curb ramps and sidewalks adjacent to 17 Mile and Sinex on the North East side of the roadway, adjacent to the park.

Infrastructure
2 Transportation
This project addresses ADA compliance mandates from a court order requiring completion by specified deadlines in FY25/26. The locations for improvements are Lovers Point and Prescott Ave (between Divisadero and Forest).

Lovers Point Scope of Work:

Replace existing ADA ramps and construct new sidewalk at the triangle parking lot to comply with ADA standards. These improvements must be completed by October 31, 2025.

Prescott Ave Scope of Work:

Sidewalk infill, repairs, installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps, and upgrades to driveway approaches to meet accessibility standards. These improvements must be completed by December 31, 2025.

GENERAL FUNDING NOTE
This project has been budgeted using all anticipated
remaining balances for streets and pedestrian
infrastructure in FY25/26. Due to the limited availability of these funds, actual costs are expected to exceed
the proposed budget.

At this time actual costs are unknown. Once the
project is engineered and formally bid, staff will return with options to address potential funding deficits which may include project savings from road and
infrastructure projects from prior years.

57 miles of gravity pipelines.

The Sewer Collection System Master Plan (SCSMP) helps drive the City's long-term sewer collection system asset management needs by identifying CIP projects and necessary upgrades to the collection system. Over the years the City has completed several of the noted SCSMP CIP Projects and the following three remain:

This multi-year project will allow the City to complete SCSMP Projects 1, 6 & 9:
-SCSMP #1 - 17 Mile Dr - Upgrade ~3,000LF of sewer main due to capacity deficiencies -SCSMP #6 - Hilcrest Ave - Replace ~4,250LF of sewer main due to root intrusion -SCSMP #9- Highway 68 - Protect exposed pipe from damage This project will allow completion of these projects. These are large scale, multi-year projects.

MULTI-YEAR PROJECT
As an element of the FY23/24, $1.8M of sewer funding
was allocated to allow for engineering, permitting and
environmental. This is currently underway and will
continue through FY25/26 using the initial funding
allocation.

Construction is anticipated to begin in FY26/27 with a
preliminary cost estimate of approximately $7M. This is a rough estimate and may be updated as an
engineers estimate is developed.

Recreation Trail
ImprovementsEsplanade Park
In Perkins Park, the Recreation Trail adjacent to Esplanade Park from Beach Street to Coral Street consists of a thin band of land which keeps getting thinner due to coastal erosion, particularly around Esplanade Park. Just east of Esplanade, the otherwise continuous shoreline trail essentially disappears for a stretch, forcing pedestrians onto a thin strip of dirt right next to Ocean View Boulevard.

The Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) proposed conceptual improvements . The SMP suggest eliminating the ocean-side parking lane and shifting the street curb inland by 7–8 feet, reclaiming approximately 500 feet of space for a pedestrian trail. This would entail the potential loss of about 25 on-street parking spaces. The SMP stated design details would be refined in collaboration with the public and stakeholders, with efforts to mitigate the loss of parking where possible.

This multi-year project initiates the process of addressing the unsafe conditions on the Recreation Trail at this specific location. Year 1 will involve public outreach and design, while Year 2 will focus on permitting, bidding, and construction.

MULTI-YEAR PROJECT
As an element of the FY24/25 CIP, $20,000 was
allocated from the Strong Disbursement Fund to allow
for design/engineering of these vital pedestrian
improvements. To date, minimal funding has been
expended. Although the remaining unused funding
will be carried forward, additional funding is needed to accommodate construction, which is anticipated to
be ~$35,000. The initial funding source, the Strong
Disbursement Fund, has been depleted. The Yount
Income fund is proposed to bridge the gap needed
for construction.
