Agenda No. 6 A

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Fred Marsh, Administrative Services Director
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution Setting the Appropriations Limit for FY 2026-2027, also known as the “Gann Limit”
CEQA: Does not constitute a Project per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a resolution setting the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, also known as the “Gann Limit”

DISCUSSION
Article XIII B of the California Constitution requires cities to adopt an annual Appropriations Limit, based on population and economic growth factors, as prescribed by State law. Staff has calculated the Appropriations Limit for FY 2026-2027 and recommends that Council adopt a resolution establishing the limit at $55,667,338. Estimated City tax revenue appropriations subject to the limit total $29,726,500, indicating that the City is not at risk of exceeding its limit.

California’s State Appropriations Limit places a “ceiling” each year on the amount of monies that can be spent from local government tax proceeds. Most appropriations are subject to the Appropriations Limit, however, the law does allow exemptions for capital outlay, debt service, and subventions. Tax proceeds in excess of the Limit over a two-year period must be rebated to taxpayers.

The adoption of Proposition 4 in 1979 and amended by Proposition 98 in 1998 and Proposition 111 in 1990 established the requirement and procedure for establishing an Appropriations Limit for local agencies. In brief, the amount of revenue that the City is annually authorized to appropriate is limited by factors relating to changes in population and the economy. The population factor selected may either be the higher of the rate of change in population for the City or for the County. The economic factor selected is the change in California’s per capita. The value determined by the formula set forth above is then applied to the previous year’s Limit to yield the new Appropriations Limit for the fiscal year.

Data on the change in California per capita income, county population, and city population for use in the calculation are provided by the State Department of Finance as required by Revenue and Taxation Code, section 2227. Staff has followed the procedures set forth in section 7910, subdivision (a) of the Government Code. Documentation supporting this year’s Appropriations Limit has been made available to the public for fifteen days at the City's website. Any judicial challenge must be brought within 45 days of the date of adoption of a resolution setting the Appropriations Limit.

The Gann Initiative was approved by California voters in November 1979. The purpose was to limit the spending of tax proceeds by government agencies by limiting expenditures. An agency is restricted from approving expenditures in excess of its limit. If a City receives more revenue than the appropriation limit, the revenue must be returned to the taxpayers through a tax reduction or refund. Before each fiscal year, the City Council must adopt, by resolution, an appropriations limit using the cost of living data provided by the state of California, and population and per capita income data provided by the California Department of Finance. The limit is different for each agency and changes each year. The limit can be increased for an emergency as declared by the Governor.

The City’s applicable budgeted revenues and appropriations limit are shown below. The calculations below show that the City is well below the limit, as has been the case during the past six fiscal years. 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027

Dear Fiscal Officer:

Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.

Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2026, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2026–27. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the factors to calculate the 2026–27 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.

Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.

Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2026. Please note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised.

The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.

If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2026–27 appropriation limit is:

Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2026-27 4.95
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2026–27 appropriation limit.
2026–27:

Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.95 percent
Population Change = -0.14 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.95 + 100 = 1.0495 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.14 + 100 = 0.9986
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2026–27: 1.0495 x 0.9986 = 1.0480 PGCC 7-15-26

Agenda No. 7 A

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Leticia Livian, Human Resources Director
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending the Salary Classification Schedule - POA
CEQA: Does not constitute a Project per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378

RECOMMENDATION
Hold second reading and adopt an ordinance to amend the salary classification schedule approving the amendment.

DISCUSSION
No changes were made between the first and second readings of this ordinance. The City Clerk caused a summary of the ordinance to be published on June 25, 2026.

Pursuant to Article 25 of the City Charter and Pacific Grove Municipal Code (PGMC) Section 4.20.280, the City Council must approve and adopt any amendments to the City’s Salary Schedule.

In 2024, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Pacific Grove and the Police Officers’ Association (POA). The MOU established compensation adjustments, including a 3% cost of living adjustment (COLA) for each of the following fiscal years:

Fiscal Year 2024–2025
Fiscal Year 2025–2026
Fiscal Year 2026–2027
The COLAs for Fiscal Years 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 have already been implemented through prior amendments to the Salary Schedule.

The proposed amendment to the Salary Schedule implements the final 3% COLA for Fiscal Year 2026–2027, as previously approved by the City Council through the POA MOU.

This action does not represent a new compensation change, but rather fulfills the City’s contractual obligation under the existing MOU. Approval of this amendment ensures that compensation for POA-represented classifications remains consistent with the terms negotiated and approved by the City Council.

Failure to adopt the updated Salary Schedule would result in inconsistency with the approved MOU and delay implementation of the agreed-upon compensation adjustments.

PGCC 7-15-26

Page 34 ends

The proposed amendment to the Salary Schedule implements the final year of the 3% COLA previously approved by the City Council as part of the POA MOU. Adoption of this amendment ensures compliance with the City’s contractual obligations and maintains alignment between the Salary Schedule and negotiated agreements.

Below are the new hourly rates with the 3% COLA.

Classification Step 1A Step 2B Step 3C Step 4D Step 5E Step 6F Step 7G Police Officer 50.63 53.16 55.81 58.60 61.54 64.62 67.84 Police Sergeant 58.50 61.42 64.49 67.72 71.10 74.66 78.39 The requested change to the salary schedule is for Police Officer and Police Sergeant only. All other classifications in the salary schedule remain the same. To view the entire salary schedule, please refer to the City’s website.

OPTIONS
Provide alternative direction to staff
Decline to adopt the amendment (not recommended, as it would conflict with the approved MOU) FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of the 3% COLA for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 has already been accounted for in the City’s long-term financial planning and will be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2026–2027 budget.

The exact cost will depend on staffing levels and step placement but is consistent with projections included at the time the MOU was approved. The 3rd year COLA for POA is estimated to be approximately $92,000.

FOCUSED PRIORITY AREA: Not Applicable.

Quarterly Report (April - June)
Historic Resources Committee
from Jean Anton, Chair 25 June 2026
The Historic Resources Committee meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Since February we have been a full committee, now consisting of Jean Anton, Chair, Glynis Greening, Vice Chair, Lydia Collins, Steve Covell, and Kate Disney.

From the City website:

The Committee was created by ordinance to hear and make determinations regarding additions and deletions to the historic resources inventory. The Committee also performs such other duties relating to the historical preservation of the community as further described in Chapter 23.76 of the Pacific Grove Municipal Code. Any property may be added to the City’s Historic Resources Inventory in accordance with the requirements of Municipal Code Section 23.76.030(a) Inclusion on the Inventory is based on the criteria listed in Municipal Code Section 23.76.025 and is not limited to a specific year of construction. The consent of the property owner is not required for inclusion on the Inventory. initial Historical Determinations are made when the committee decides if a property might be eligible for the Historic Resources Inventory. These are houses that are fifty or more years old but not currently on the HRI. Since my last report we looked at 421 Eardley which was determined ineligible for the HRI.

Historic Determinations are properties which may be added to or deleted from the Historic Resources Inventory (HRI) either by initiation of the historic resources committee or by submittal of a historic determination application by the property owner. Since my last report, one house was requested be removed from the HRI. 116 15th Street was removed from the HRI after receiving reports from a structural engineer and licensed contractor that the building could not be saved due to its considerable dilapidated condition.

Another task concerns Architectural Permits for all houses currently on the HRI. We check the designs to make sure they meet the standards set forth by the Secretary of the Interior. The approved APs in this quarter were for 124 Caledonia, 158 12th Street, 108 15th Street, and 610 Granite with the inclusion of a Tree Permit with Development.

A Historic Preservation Permit is an exception to regular zoning regulations when such an exception is necessary to permit the preservation or restoration of a building listed on the HRI.

We approved permits for 841 Laurel and 108 15th Street.

Deletions proposed for removal due to loss of integrity must demonstrate the loss of integrity was not the result of any illegal act or willful neglect by the owner or agent of the owner. (see 116 15th Street above.)

Agenda No. 9 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: July 15, 2026
SUBJECT: FY26/267 CIP Engineering Services Time Extension CEQA: Does not constitute a Project per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a time extension with Neil Engineers Corp for the continued execution of the FY 25/26 and FY 26/27 Capital Improvement Plan engineering services,

1. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action on this item.

DISCUSSION
The City of Pacific Grove (City) Public Works Department utilizes outside engineering services to execute vital Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects by providing technical consultation, project design, and surveying services. Neil Engineers Corp (Neil Engineers) has provided the City with engineering services since 1964.

In 1991, the role of Neil Engineers expanded from a project-based service to the function of City Engineer via a formalized professional services agreement. In 2008, a new professional services agreement with Neil Engineers was executed, with the same scope, to reflect an increased monthly retainer of $1,000, previously $750. The current contract, executed in 2008, has been renewed by yearly extensions and has maintained the same $1,000 monthly retainer. The City has used this agreement for a variety of administrative engineering functions, including project consultation, surveying, plan review, and public hearings.

In addition to the existing executed professional services agreement that allows for administrative engineering functions, on an annual basis, staff recommends an agreement to authorize specific project-based engineering services. In Fiscal Year 2025/26, the City Council authorized an agreement with Neil Engineering for project-based engineering in an amount not to exceed $546,718 plus a 10% contingency. To date, $223,445.42 has been expended under the existing contract. City staff is not requesting any additional funding for these services, only a time extension is being requested to align with the 2-year budget.

This extension will allow for the continued progression of the CIP projects noted below. This list includes FY 24/25 project carryforwards, CIP projects adopted in the FY25/26, and newly approved projects for the 26/27 Budget:

PGCC 7-15-26

Page 69 ends

Projects with status updates:

FY 25/26 Street Rehabilitation (Being engineered)
FY 25/26 Mandated ADA Improvements (Completed)
FY 25/26 Sewer Force Main Replacement: Arena Avenue (Engineering completed, RFP will be released soon)
FY24/25 Street Rehabilitation (Carry over, construction underway) FY24/25 Crack & Slurry Seal (Carry over & completed)
Pedestrian Safety - Central/Fountain & Grand/Fountain (Carry over & completed) Recreation Trail Improvements – Esplanade Park (Carry over & completed) 2026 Crack and Slurry Seal (New for FY 2026/27)
2026 Road Rehab (New for FY 2026/27)
Although a two-year budget was approved, City staff only requested a one-year agreement with Neil Engineers to address the identified projects in FY 25/26 and to finalize the FY 24/25 carryovers.

Adequate funding is still available within the existing contract, and only a time extension (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) is being requested to align with FY 2026/27.

Standard bidding procedures were suspended in accordance with Pacific Grove Municipal Code (PGMC) section 2.16.080 “Bidding procedures- Dispensation When,” which provides that the purchasing agent, the City Manager, may dispense with bid procedures for purchase of services when in his sole discretion and judgment it is in the best interest of the City when (d) a service (such as attorney, accountant, architect or specialized consultant) involves specialized knowledge or personal skill.

Neill Engineers has worked with the city since 1964. Their vast and incomparable institutional knowledge and robust experience with the City provide them with specialized knowledge and skill regarding the City’s existing infrastructure that is necessary to most efficiently and effectively design, plan, and execute CIP projects.

If approved, the City will circulate an extension for execution, Attachment #1, for the Mayor’s signature.

Failure to authorize this agreement will result in significant delays in the above-referenced CIP projects.

OPTIONS

1. Do not authorize the agreement.

Provide alternative direction. Please note this option would significantly delay the above-referenced projects.

2. FINANCIAL IMPACT:

This is only a time extension. No additional funding is being requested.

Engineering services are included within individual CIP project budgets and approved as part of the annual budget.

Agenda No. 9 B

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Fred Marsh, Administrative Services Director
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending City Municipal Code Chapter 2.16 (Purchasing System and Procedures) CEQA: Does not constitute a Project per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378

RECOMMENDATION

1. Introduce and hold first reading of Ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter 2.16 (Purchasing System and Procedures).

2. Direct that publication of the ordinance be satisfied by publication of a summary approved by the City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
This item returns to the Council due to an inadvertent error in the original presentation. During the first reading before the Council on June 3, 2026, the ordinance itself was not provided; only the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code were presented. This item includes the ordinance in the proper format for Council consideration. No changes to the prior presentation or ordinance have been made.

As a charter city, the City of Pacific Grove maintains local autonomy over its municipal affairs and is exempt from the provisions of the California Public Contract Code, except where municipal ordinances or Council agreements dictate otherwise. The City of Pacific Grove operates a purchasing system designed to secure high quality goods and services at the lowest reasonable cost, maximize financial accountability, and maintain good internal controls. Staff has prepared a proposed ordinance amending Chapter 2.16, with the key revisions discussed below, with the goals of adjusting for inflation, enhancing efficiencies, and minimizing delays in processing.

1. Increase in Open Market Purchasing Threshold for Staff (PGMC 2.16.160(a)) This amendment adjusts the baseline authority for open market purchases performed by the Purchasing Agent (City Manager) or their designees from the prior maximum of $40,000 to $50,000. This adjustment reduces the volume of routine administrative items brought to the City Council, optimizing agenda space for major agenda items.

2. Establishment of Process for CPI Adjustments (PGMC 2.16.160(b)) To prevent the purchasing limits from becoming obsolete due to future inflation, the ordinance allows for the adjustment of this limit on July 1st of every five fiscal years using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area, rounded to the nearest $5,000.

3. Other Administrative Changes
Modifying various sections to allow the City Manager to, either through procedures or on a case-by-case basis, delegate any of the powers and duties of the purchasing agent provided for by this Chapter to the Administrative Services Department or other employees. (PGMC 2.16.010)

Clarifying that the procedure for determining bid amounts for determining the lowest responsible bidder shall not deduct the amount received by the City in sales tax for purchases involving the use of State or Federal grant funds, including pass through funds. (PGMC

2.16.100)

Clarifying that the procedures for the disposal of City surplus supplies and equipment (PGMC 2.16.110)

Applies to items with an individual cost of $5,000 or more

Allows the City to donate such items to another governmental entity or charitable organization

Does not allow for the purchase of these items directly by employees PGCC 7-15-26

Page 72 ends

4. Preserved Protections and Council Safeguards
Note that the expansion of the open market limits does not dilute public transparency or compromise fiscal oversight. The following statutory protections are in place:

1. Monthly Check Register Reports: In compliance with PGMC 2.16.160(c), a complete check register report detailing every single transaction executed under open market authority must continue to be provided to the City Council on a monthly basis.

2. Anti-Project Splitting Rules: Section 2.16.160(d) and Section 2.16.420 strictly prohibit dividing public works projects or general procurement undertakings into smaller component parts to intentionally evade formal bidding procedures or bypass council authority boundaries.

3. Council Resolutions for Large Procurements: Any contract for services or public works projects exceeding the new adjusted limit ($50,000) requires a formal resolution or motion approved by the City Council. Furthermore, under PGMC 2.16.080, even if competitive bidding procedures are legally dispensed via a standard exception (e.g., sole source, emergency, or unique specialized skill), council approval by resolution is required for any purchase exceeding the Purchasing Agent's limit.

Procurement Tier Prior Version Proposed Change Required Process / Approval Authority Micro-Purchases /
Exempt Bids Under $2,500 Under $7,500(PGMC 2.16.080) It is recommended, (not required) that staff obtain bids Open Market Purchases $7,500 to $40,000 $7,500 to $50,000 Requires minimum of 3 written quotes, unless an exemption is approved by the City Manager or Administrative Services Director.

Procurements Over $40,000 Over $50,000(PGMC 2.16.160 a) Formal competitive bidding; newspaper publication 10 days prior; Council approval via resolution or motion

OPTIONS

1. Take No Action

2. Provide Alternate Direction to Staff
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The adoption of this ordinance has no fiscal impact to the City. Long-term fiscal benefits include reduced administrative overhead, fewer legal advertising expenses for mid-tier contracts, and improved staff productivity.

FOCUSED PRIORITY AREA: Not Applicable.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE AMENDING PACIFIC GROVE MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 2.16 “PURCHASING SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES” FINDINGS 1. Currently, PGMC Section 2.16.160 requires the City Council to approve any purchase of goods or services the cost of which exceeds $40,000. Purchases of less than that amount can be approved by the City’s Purchasing Agent (PGMC 2.16.160).

2. The current purchase limit has not been changed since 2021. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately $50,000 is now required to purchase what could have been purchased for $40,000 in 2021, due to inflation.

3. In addition to edits to clean up Chapter 2.16, this amendment provides a mechanism to change the maximum purchase authority value every five years, based on changes in the consumer price index, to prevent the approved value from again becoming out of date.

4. In the enactment of this ordinance, the City followed the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines adopted by the State of California and published in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000, et seq. Amendment of PGMC Chapter 2.16 does not constitute a “project” as that term is defined by CEQA.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE:

SECTION 1. The foregoing findings are adopted by the City Council as though set forth in full.

SECTION 2. The text of the Pacific Grove Municipal Code set forth in existing Chapter 2 Administration and City Government shall be changed as shown in Attachment 1:

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Che Johnson, Chief Negotiator and Leticia Livian, Human Resources Director MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026
SUBJECT: Compensation and Benefits Plan for Department Heads and Non-Represented Management and Confidential Group Employees
CEQA: Does not constitute a Project per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a resolution approving the amended compensation and benefits plan for Department Heads and for the Non-Represented Management and Confidential Group Employees.

DISCUSSION
Non-represented management, confidential, and department head employees (non-represented groups) have a Compensation and Benefits Plan that outlines salary, benefits, and working conditions. Prior to the creation of the Compensation and Benefits Plan, the non-represented group received the same salary and benefit enhancements and concessions as the Management Employee Association (MEA). This was the City’s past practice.

The Compensation and Benefits Plans formally tied the salary and benefit alignment with MEA. The Compensation and Benefits Plan states the non-represented group will receive the same improvements, or concessions to the working conditions, and benefits as the Management Employee’s Association (MEA).

Recently, the City and the Management Employees Association (MEA) have come to a tentative agreement to improve salary, benefits, and working conditions in their Memorandum of Understanding dated July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027. Therefore, beginning July 1, 2026, the non-represented group shall receive the same improvements of MEA if the MEA MOU is approved. If the MEA MOU is not approved, no changes will be made at this time for the non-represented groups.

In alignment with MEA, below are key items that will be implemented for the non-represented groups:

No increase to salary/cost of living adjustment (COLA).

Paid holiday closure beginning Christmas Eve and through New Year’s Day.

Increase to PTO accruals by 8 hours more a month in lieu of a separate sick leave bank.

Increase to monthly employer health contributions:

Employee only, from $950 to $997.50
Employee plus a dependent, from $1,475 monthly to $1,548.75 monthly Employee plus two or more dependents, from $1,975 monthly to $2,073.75 monthly PGCC 7-15-26

Page 116 ends

The annual employer increased cost for healthcare is estimated to be $12,900.

Adding a monthly employer dental contribution to cover increase cost to dental:

Employee only, city contributes $4.44
Employee plus one dependent, City contributes $8.96
Employee plus two or more dependents, City contributes $10.92 The annual employer increased cost to dental is estimated to be $1,320 All other terms and conditions in the current benefits and compensation plan are unchanged.

OPTIONS

1. No approve the resolution

2. Provide alternative direction
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

It is anticipated that the impact to the fiscal year 26/27 budget will increase by approximately $14,220.

FOCUSED PRIORITY AREA: Not Applicable.
