BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City Council’s Priority Work Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 included a review of city Commission and Committee Charters. The following is a brief outline of efforts on this work plan for the Beautification Advisory Committee (BAC).
- May 15, 2024: The City Council adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Plan and Priority Work Plan, including an updated and continued item related to review of commission / committee charters as a priority for City Council.
- January 27, 2025: Ad-Hoc City Council Subcommittee was appointed (Councilmembers Bier and Wright) to provide input on the Committee / Commission charter review process and timing.
- April 14, 2025: The City Council adopted an update to the 2023 - 2030 Strategic Plan and FY 2025-26 Priority Work Plan, including an updated and continued item related to review of commission / committee charters as a priority for City Council, with the goal of completing the Beautification Advisory Committee (BAC) and Emergency Preparedness & Safety Commission (EPSC) charter reviews in 2025.
- May 6, 2025: The Ad-Hoc City Council Subcommittee (Councilmembers Bier and Wright) met with the City Manager and staff to review and develop questions for the Beautification Advisory Committee and Emergency Preparedness & Safety Commission to facilitate the review and recommendations for charter updates. - August 2025: Based on Ad-Hoc committee direction, charter review questions for the Packet Pg. 6
Pacifica City Council 2
March 23, 2026
Beautification Advisory Committee and Emergency Preparedness & Safety Commission were finalized.

To date, Charter reviews and updates have been completed for the following Commissions / Committee’s:
- Library Advisory Committee (LAC) - Resolution No. 67-2023 adopted June 26, 2023 - Open Space & Parkland Advisory Committee (OSPAC) - Resolution No. 21-2024 adopted March 25, 2024
- Economic Development Committee (EDC) - Resolution No. 35-2024 adopted April 22, 2024
- Emergency Preparedness and Safety Commission (EPSC) - Joint Study Session on February 9, 2026
The purpose of this Joint Study Session is to provide an opportunity for the City Council and the Beautification Advisory Committee (BAC) to engage in a collaborative discussion regarding potential updates to the BAC Charter. This includes:
• Reviewing the Committee’s recent charter review process and recommendations; • Hearing directly from BAC members regarding their proposed amendment; and • Providing policy direction to staff on whether and how to proceed with potential charter revisions.

This Study Session is intended to ensure alignment between Council priorities, committee roles, and staff capacity, while recognizing the important advisory role the BAC plays in advancing beautification, community engagement, and environmental stewardship efforts citywide.

CHARTER REVIEW PROCESS AND RECOMMENDATION BY THE BAC
Over the past several months the BAC engaged in a thoughtful and deliberate review process.

This effort reflects a strong commitment by the Committee to evaluate its role, identify opportunities to enhance its impact, and contribute meaningfully to the City’s strategic priorities.

This process included the following timeline:
• October 10, 2025: Committee members were provided with individual survey questions to gather input and perspectives on the existing charter (Attachment A). • November 2025 - January 2026: The BAC held a series of public discussions at regular meetings to carefully consider these charter review questions, reflecting on its mission and goals.
• February 4, 2026: The Committee completed discussion of group questions and voted on one recommended amendment to the BAC Charter (Attachment B).

Through this process, the Committee demonstrated a high level of engagement, collaboration, and ownership of its advisory role and a forward-looking vision for how the BAC can continue to support community beautification and environmental efforts.

As a result of this work, the Beautification Advisory Committee unanimously recommended amending its Charter to:

Establish a formal Adopt-A-Tree subcommittee responsible for developing, implementing, and administering a citywide program.

As included in the BAC presentation, this recommendation is based on several key Packet Pg. 7
Pacifica City Council 3
March 23, 2026
considerations:
• The City’s need to expand and sustain its urban forest, including meeting canopy goals identified in the Climate Action and Resiliency Plan;
• Success of prior and current pilot Adopt-A-Tree efforts, which have shown strong community participation and high survival rates so far; • The opportunity to leverage community volunteers to support tree establishment and maintenance in a cost-effective manner; and
• Alignment with broader City goals related to sustainability, beautification, and community engagement.

The Committee’s proposal also demonstrates the Committee’s willingness to take an active, programmatic role in advancing City’s urban forestry goals.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION / ANALYSIS
While staff recognizes and appreciates the significant effort, creativity, and commitment demonstrated by the Beautification Advisory Committee, there are important operational and policy considerations that should inform the timing and structure of any Charter amendment.

1. Timing of this Charter Amendment
Council previously approved a Pilot Adopt-A-Tree Program that included 9 trees installed as a part of the West Sharp Park improvements Project in Fall 2025. Given that the program is currently in a pilot phase, incorporating the Adopt-A-Tree program into the BAC Charter may be premature. The Council has previously directed staff to evaluate its effectiveness before considering expansion into a permanent, citywide program.

These key evaluation milestones include:
• A 6-month check-in (currently underway) to assess early feedback from participants and staff and operational considerations to identify and document any operational issues make any adjustments;
• A 12-month evaluation (Fall 2026) to review participation, maintenance outcomes, and initial program performance; and
• A longer-term evaluation (18-24 months) to assess tree health impacts, long-term participation and retention, and overall data-based program sustainability.

It might be prudent to continue the pilot program prior to development of a permanent one, as the pilot program’s data would also help inform the development of Urban Forestry Management Plan. Therefore, allowing the pilot program to mature would provide critical data to inform program design, scalability, and long-term policy decisions. Embedding the program in the Charter prior to completing this evaluation could limit flexibility and result in a structure that may need to be revisited.

2. Alignment with Urban Forestry Plan Development
In addition, the City is planning to develop an Urban Forestry Management Plan, which is already included in the Strategic Plan but is currently off track due to staffing constraints.

This plan is a foundational policy document that will:
• Establish citywide canopy goals;
• Identify priority planting locations;
• Define maintenance standards and responsibilities; and • Provide a comprehensive and defensible framework for long-term urban forest management, including liability considerations.

Packet Pg. 8
Pacifica City Council 4
March 23, 2026
The Adopt-A-Tree program is closely tied to these policy questions. Advancing a permanent program prior to completion of the Urban Forestry Management Plan may result in misalignment or require subsequent program redesign at a later date.

3. Staff Capacity and Workplan Impacts
The Public Works Department is currently managing a highly constrained workload and an aggressive Strategic Planning workplan. As reflected in the Strategic Plan workplan, the Public Works Department is already responsible for 58 tasks, of which only 7 have been completed, 19 are on track, and the remainder are either not started, or off track (Attachment D). In other words, the Strategic Plan itself is ambitious and already stretches the capacity of understaffed department.

Incorporating the Adopt-A-Tree program into the Charter would require:
• Development of a comprehensive program framework, similar to the adopted ‘Keep Pacifica Beautiful Through Public Art Program’ Policy (Attachment C: Resolution No. 12- 2019)
• Ongoing coordination between staff and the BAC
• Review and oversight involving risk management and legal considerations • Review and refinement of volunteer policies and agreements.

These efforts would require re-prioritization of existing projects and reallocation of staff time, as staff resources are already at capacity to support the current Strategic Plan.

If the City Council wishes to proceed with advancing this work, staff would recommend incorporating it into the FY 2026-27 work program, along with an understanding that other priorities may need to be delayed or deferred, and these changes would be made accordingly in the FY 2026-27 Workplan that is tentatively scheduled to be presented to Council in May.

Summary and Next Steps:

The membership, purpose, powers, and duties (Charter) of the Beautification Advisory Committee are established in adopted Resolution No. 12-2019 (see Attachment C). Accordingly, any recommended amendments to the Committee’s Charter or name must be approved by the City Council through adoption of a resolution.

The Beautification Advisory Committee has undertaken a thoughtful and collaborative process to evaluate its Charter and identify opportunities to enhance its impact. The Committee’s recommendation reflects innovation, strong community engagement, and alignment with City priorities.

At the same time, staff recommends a measured approach and offers for Council consideration maintaining the Adopt-A-Tree program as a workplan item at this time. Allowing the current pilot program to continue to mature and be fully evaluated would support informed, data-driven decisions regarding the program’s long-term structure, scalability, and resource implications.

As an alternative, the City Council may wish to consider incorporating into the BAC Charter a broader tree advocacy and community engagement role, enabling the Committee to work with public and private property owners to support and advance the City’s urban canopy goals citywide.

This approach allows the City to:
• Complete the ongoing pilot program evaluation;
Packet Pg. 9
Pacifica City Council 5
March 23, 2026
• Align future program development with the Urban Forestry Management Plan; and • Ensure that new initiatives are balanced with existing staff capacity and Strategic Plan commitments.

This Joint Study Session provides an opportunity for the City Council to consider both the Committee’s vision and these operational considerations, and to provide direction on the appropriate path forward. Based on that direction, staff will return at a future meeting with a proposed resolution to implement any Council-approved amendments.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

Provide direction to the Beautification Advisory Committee and staff on the proposed Charter revisions, including consideration of the following options:

Option 1 - Approve BAC Recommendation:

Approve the Beautification Advisory Committee’s recommendation to amend the Charter to include the Adopt-A-Tree program. If directed, staff will incorporate the additional work into the Strategic Plan Workplan and identify associated tradeoffs, including potential delays and reprioritization of existing strategic plan initiatives due to staff capacity constraints.

Option 2 - Maintain the Program as Workplan Item:

Direct that the Adopt-A-Tree program remain a workplan item for the duration of the pilot program (anticipated through Spring 2028) to allow sufficient time to collect data, evaluate outcomes, and align future program development with completion of the Urban Forestry Management Plan.

Additional (Standalone) Consideration:

Consider expanding the BAC’s role in the Charter to include a broader tree advocacy and community engagement function, including working with public and private property owners to support and advance the City’s urban canopy goals citywide.

RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:

Goal 5 - Broaden public communications and collaboration. City Council’s Priority Work Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 included Task 5.3.2- Review and update Council Advisory Commission and Committee Charters.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact from holding this study session. However, future Council direction may have fiscal and staffing implications.

BAC Charter Review – Individual Survey Questions

1. What do you think the scope / mission of the Committee / Commission is? • I believe the mission of the BAC is to help enhance the public landscape and public art of the City of Pacifica for the citizens and visitors to the City to enjoy. In conjunction with this effort, beautifying our City also helps to create a space that welcomes visitors, is appealing for business owners to want to invest in, and creates a City that people want to come live in and make their community. Lastly, it unites volunteers in a mission to enhance the ecology and climate goals of the City of Pacifica, as well as, offer up opportunities to bring joy into our City through the color and whimsy of art.
• I believe the mission of the BAC is to beautify public areas to encourage visitation/ use. This was intended to be done by creating a plan of the public areas available to be beautified, prioritizing those areas on the basis of visibility/impact, and then creating plans & methods for how to scale efforts to keep these areas beautiful through community/ volunteer participation & with strategies to lower maintenance requirements. This is clearly said best in the Beautification Plan, quoted below:
• “In August of 2011 the City Council approved a proposal presented by then Mayor Mary Ann Nihart to create a Beatification Task Force (BTF) with the following objectives: 1. Identify and map city owned parcels of land throughout the City with particular emphasis on main thoroughfares for planting and beautification. 2.

Establish themes and plants appropriate for use by community groups in these parcels with emphasis on native plants and water saving plants. 3. Identify possible methods, outreach and funding sources for ongoing organization/volunteer participation and maintenance of these areas.”
• The mission of the BAC is to Keep Pacifica Beautiful (KPB). This program is meant to develop guidelines and policies, locate appropriate sites for beautification, engage and educate the public about beautification in our community, and to work with various groups to reestablish public areas.
• To make + keep Pacifica beautiful, mainly for our own citizens, but also to attract tourism to bring some financial benefit to our city.
a
Packet Pg. 12
Attachment: ATTACHMENT A: BAC Charter Review – Individual Survey Questions - Compiled [Revision 1] (6149 : Joint Study Session of City 2 • The Mission of the Beautification Committee is to aid the City Council by being open to the general public for comment about what makes Pacifica a beautiful place and return this to the City council. BAC also makes recommendations for improvements and help the Public Works Dept. to implement those ideas when possible.

2. How do you feel about your work on the BAC?
• I have greatly enjoyed my work with the BAC. My greatest satisfaction is in seeing others joining in our efforts and watching the community of volunteers grow. I also have enjoyed watching some rather underutilized and vacant spaces be refreshed and revitalized over the years.
• I am new to the BAC so feel I am just getting started. I enjoyed the volunteer events.

Recently I made a push for the team to go into planning mode as I felt there was an opportunity for us to be more forward looking and fulfill the commitment from the Beautification Plan to tackle new priority sites. I do appreciate the addition of the Art subcommittee since I think limiting to only gardening efforts is overly limiting in terms of how we might beautify the city.
• I think we have evolved into a committee that has been able to successfully get community volunteers to join our workdays. By posting on various social media platforms regarding upcoming workdays, Pacifica community members have been able to join us. We are working with the sponsors along Palmetto, Cabrillo PTO members and their children, and members of the Rotary Club. When someone volunteers with us, I add their name to a volunteer list so that the individual is invited to our workdays. The BAC, along with Palmetto bulb out sponsors, Rotary Club members, and other community members cleaned up the Palmetto Plaza area. The Public Works Department cut down dead trees and repaired an already existing irrigation system. Shrubs,Iris bulbs, succulents, and poppy seeds were planted in the planter areas. The group next painted all of the arches in the plaza.

The Rotary Club generously provided the funds to purchase the paint and an anonymous donor supplied the brushes, rollers, plastic sheeting, and ladders for the group's use. This was all completed BEFORE FogFest! The group wanted to complete painting the arches on the north and south sides of the entrance to the city yard. This was completed on Sunday, October 5.
• I love the work that we do I was the instigator of the murals on our community center. I wish to have more murals added to our beautiful town! a
Packet Pg. 13
Attachment: ATTACHMENT A: BAC Charter Review – Individual Survey Questions - Compiled [Revision 1] (6149 : Joint Study Session of City 3 • I have been a home owner in Pacifica for 48 years and have fallen in love with our Coast Side town and wish to make it continue being a beautiful place and hope that our children will be able to enjoy the resources we already have. I have been a member of local church groups and a longtime member of the Pacifica Garden Club which has donated and worked on community projects.

3. How do you feel like you could make a greater contribution on the BAC? • As the committee chairperson, I think updating our webpage and links as well as posting to social media - Connect with Pacifica, NextDoor, and the City of Pacifica's Facebook page are crucial to get the word out to the Pacifica community. • I have a lot of ideas on how we can build upon this momentum the BAC has created over the years. I feel like we can add to our committee’s mission or expand our subcommittes to include other offerings and programs. Continuing to lean into the volunteers that are eager to be a part of this movement is a way of dividing the load and passing along some of the work and maintenance of the programs that have been running smoothly for awhile – such as the Adopted Bulb-Outs along Palmetto – to allow room for new initiatives to take place. I think helping to develop one of these new initiatives would be a goal of mine.
• I'm one of the most active on the committee, among other things I do + groups I'm a part of. I feel like I'm very happy to be able to continue beautification projects. • I think I can contribute more to the BAC in 2 ways:
o I have been working with Public Works on creating an Adopt a Tree program that we just did a second pilot of for the street trees planted in the Sharp Park PDA project. This feels like it would fit squarely within the realm of the beautification committee’s intent/goals. Particularly, it helps to create methods to establish a no-cost maintenance program to keep trees alive (which trees are very high impact to beautification efforts). I would like to see the BAC take this program on officially, and I would be happy to lead this effort. o My work profession is in planning and prioritizing projects. I think I could support in this effort to help the committee take a more forward looking approach to how we might expand our impact to more project sites, etc. • The BAC has grown more and more of a Hands-on work committee with ·certain Public Works projects rather than just a referral and advisement committee. This a
Packet Pg. 14
Attachment: ATTACHMENT A: BAC Charter Review – Individual Survey Questions - Compiled [Revision 1] (6149 : Joint Study Session of City 4 way we have shown that we are committed to beautifying Pacifica and we are regularly thanked by the public when they see our group involved with the actual work.

4. Do you feel able to express your opinions and beliefs as a member of BAC? • I feel like the members of the BAC are all very caring and invested in the City of Pacifica and doing what is best for it and the community members. I always feel like I can voice my opinions at the BAC. I do feel that sometimes change can be slow or that new ideas can take a lot of time to get moving. • Yes, I think the BAC members are very understanding and listen to all members' opinions during both our monthly meetings and at our workdays! • I think the environment of our committee is very welcoming and anyone is free to state what they feel.
• Our meetings are very open to each member to express their views and we welcome the general public to our meetings. We listen to what everyone has to say.

5. Are there any ways you believe BAC’s meetings could be structured or operate more efficiently?
• I find them very efficient and enjoy my time at them. • I raised this in our last meeting, and we are already making good steps towards improving on this, but I think we should have a running list of priorities we are wishing to tackle. And we should consistently be striving to work down that list.

Having a consistent view into what we want to accomplish coming up in the next XYZ time frame and how we are tracking towards that I think would facilitate a lot of good discussion and keep the momentum high.
• I firmly believe that our structure is really good. Gail (Chairperson) is really great at getting all to participate + share their thoughts + opinions. • At the recommendation by two BAC members, we are planning to prioritize projects after we brainstorm ideas. We will be working on the BAC charter review discussion questions at our November 5 meeting, which will be the start of our next couple of meetings.
• It would be nice if we could hold once each quarter a combined meeting with other a
Packet Pg. 15
Attachment: ATTACHMENT A: BAC Charter Review – Individual Survey Questions - Compiled [Revision 1] (6149 : Joint Study Session of City 5 committees to share each others views and what their aiming to accomplish. Some times we find out that the other committees are working in a another direction and this would avoid confusion.

6. Do you feel like you received sufficient onboarding and initialtraining to function effectively as a commission/committee member?
• I think it took a month or two to understand the full role of the BAC. It would have helped if I was given a copy of the BAC charter upon coming into the committee. I am currently reading a copy of it now. I appreciated attending the City of Pacifica Ethics training and learning about the Brown Act to further understand some of the nuances of serving on a City committee.
• I raised this in our last meeting, and we are already making good steps towards improving on this, but I think we should have a running list of priorities we are wishing to tackle. And we should consistently be striving to work down that list.

Having a consistent view into what we want to accomplish coming up in the next XYZ time frame and how we are tracking towards that I think would facilitate a lot of good discussion and keep the momentum high.
• When I joined the BAC, there were two members that were part of the original Beautification Task Force (BTF) and I knew two other BAC members personally. I felt very comfortable when I joined as I had attended a couple of meetings prior to applying. I do feel the need for more training and information to be given to NEW members of the commissions/committees, so they have a better understanding of the time commitment, the attendance policy, and other events that the different commissions/committees are involved with. Example: BAC has workdays during the weekends at different locations throughout Pacifica. We try to keep it at one day per month, but sometimes it is two times a month.
• I don’t personally feel that “training” is really required for this committee. A person just needs to care deeply for our city + be able+ willing to do work to keep it as an attractive place for all.
• Yes and the yearly review of ethics is a good thing.

7. What would help you to fully bring your voice to the table? • I feel like my voice has been heard at the BAC meetings. I do think one needs to speak up as we develop the agenda for the next meeting – adding new business to discuss, for instance – and to volunteer to get the process going on a new idea or to a

Attachment: ATTACHMENT A: BAC Charter Review – Individual Survey Questions - Compiled [Revision 1] (6149 : Joint Study Session of City 6 do research into it. We are all volunteers and the only way to be a part of it is to step in and contribute.
• Mostly yes. Perhaps some explanation of norms would have been good, but I picked up on those pretty quickly.
• Nothing. We are very comfortable speaking and listening to each other's ideas. • I have had experience on other clubs and groups but experience and a willing to listen to other s is important.

8. What role do you feel the City Council liaison should play to make BAC most effective?
• I have enjoyed hearing the liaison give a summary of the City Council meetings/issues each month. This keeps me apprised of other elements happening within the City of Pacifica. I have also enjoyed having the liaison participate at our volunteer “action days”. It’s a great way to meet the Council member and for them to see the work we do.
• The City Council liaison should share updates from the BAC, so the City Council is aware of what we are working on. The BAC works on landscaping projects and there is a subcommittee, Public Art/Murals, that works to include public art in Pacifica. The City Council liaison should report on City Council meetings, so we are informed of current topics of discussion.
• This is very helpful for our meetings as we do need to know the direction the City council is moving and is our only means to hear what other commissions and committees are involved with.

9. Do you have any otherinputfeedback that you would like to share? • Just hoping we can continue to keep our current programs moving forward and look to expand the BAC. It’s a wonderful opportunity for getting involved in your community!
• I think the liaison should keep the BAC in sync with the direction of City Council. I suspect this entails the council member communicating what the BAC is up to back to City Council and similarly, they represent the City Council’s wishes back to the BAC. For example, if we were to reignite a recurring prioritization process of upcoming initiatives we plan to take on, the liaison could report back to Council a

Attachment: ATTACHMENT A: BAC Charter Review – Individual Survey Questions - Compiled [Revision 1] (6149 : Joint Study Session of City 7 on our intents, and then come back to BAC with feedback that the BAC can take under consideration.
• As I said I have lived in Pacifica for 48 years and wish to keep this beautiful City in as good as possible. This means that we MUST protect our open spaces in order to maintain our unique seaside lifestyle. We must prevent over building and insist that our local zoning laws be respected by the State.

10. Do you have any otherinputfeedback that you would like to share? • I think its clear above, but for due diligence I will reiterate. I believe having an Adopt a Tree program actually already fits within the scope laid out for the BAC in the originating Beautification Plan. If that is not the case, then I would like to request that we amend the charter to include this program officially as it has clear impact to the beautification of Pacifica

BAC Charter Review Questions for Committee Discussion
February 4, 2026 Meeting – Final Responses

1. What are the top three projects/initiatives that the BAC has worked on that have been most valuable to the community?
Crespi Bioswales Project
The Crespi Bioswales have provided significant environmental and community benefits by improving stormwater management, reducing runoff, and enhancing local habitat. It serves as a visible example of sustainable infrastructure and community stewardship Murals and Public Art Initiatives
BAC-supported murals and public art installations have enriched Pacifica’s public spaces, strengthened community identity, and increased civic pride. These projects also create opportunities for local artists and support cultural engagement throughout the city.

Palmetto Plaza Enhancements
Improvements to the Palmetto Plaza have enhanced pedestrian experiences, beautified a key corridor, and provided inviting, functional community space. These upgrades contribute to economic vitality and improve overall quality of life for residents and visitors.

2. In your experience as a committee, what advice within the Committee's scope does the City Council need that BAC should be providing, but isn't? How should BAC be providing this advice?
We need a forum with City Council to provide advice for priority projects and discuss funding options for these initiatives – Some of these ideas may require liaison with other committees or may need to fall under the scope of the other City departments Council liaison for the BAC will provide updates to the City Council on BAC projects and obstacles

3. Are there specific projects BAC should work on, such as the Palmetto Streetscape bulb out project or the Terra Nova Boulevard pilot asphalt art project? Documenting our murals and creating an interactive map that can be published on the City website
An award of recognition program to recognize residents or businesses that invested in beautifying a highly visible private property

solution that can provide more economic development for local businesses. Examples of locations:

Highway 1 and Francisco Blvd, Sharp Park Golf Course, Esplanade Blvd along the coast.

Adopt-a-tree program that encourages volunteers to plant and help maintain trees on City property to make the City more beautiful and livable
Statue at Community Center (Highway 1)
Continued work with the Public Arts and Mural subcommittee New planting areas-reference 2012 guide, liaison with parks Focus on new projects that spread beautification throughout the city Identify and target existing growing spaces on city property for trees and plants that could be planted and adopted
Along Palmetto create planting wells for trees, plants and mediums, large above ground planters

4. Is BAC's membership size (7) appropriate and effective to accomplish its work, considering quorum and Brown Act requirements, subcommittee work, etc.? The committee is a good size at seven, with a quorum of 4 Size of committee is good if all members are active
More Community participation at meetings to hear what community wants BAC to do – create an interest in attending a BAC meeting to share your comments for BAC projects Liaison with other committees like Economic Development Committee, PB&R If BAC adds subcommittees with specialized projects to increase the level of work being done by BAC, then more members would be necessary
Committee wants to keep what is in the charter regarding age for BAC members

5. Are there any specific qualifications BAC members should have to ensure they are effective as a member?
Recommendations outlined in the Charter include horticulturist, master gardener, permaculture specialist, or someone with plant-related experience or expertise valuable to the committee.

However, planting is not the committee’s sole focus, as the BAC also supports murals, streetscapes, and public art installations.

Everyone is welcome to the committee if they are interested and driven by the vision and mission of the committee

Attachment: ATTACHMENT B: BAC Charter Review Questions for Committee Discussion [Revision 1] (6149 : Joint Study Session of City 3 6. What City Council Strategic Plan goals and strategies (Vision 2025 & Beyond City of Pacifica) could BAC help support and how?
Improve and steward city infrastructure, streets, and facilities through murals, streetscape improvements, and public art projects.

Support climate change adaptation and mitigation by advancing planting initiatives such as bioswales, Palmetto Streetscape, and the possible addition of an Adopt-a-Tree program, which help increase the city’s tree canopy and improve environmental resilience.

Enhance organizational and fiscal stability by assisting with the maintenance and long-term care of City beautification investments
Broaden public communication and collaboration by engaging community members in beautification projects and public space improvements
Improve and sustain revitalization efforts on Palmetto Avenue, particularly by helping secure additional funding and supporting ongoing enhancements
Create and enhance public spaces, such as Palmetto Plaza, so they become inviting, safe, and well-used community gathering places that promote recreation, safer streets, and more livable neighborhoods

7. What changes to BAC’s charter do you think should be made, and why? (637857074132800000 – Beautification Plan)

Notice of Completion for the Rockaway Pump Station Rehabilitation and Repair Project RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Adopt the Resolution of the City Council of the City of Pacifica to accept completion and direct the City Manager to file Notice of Completion for the Rockaway Pump Station Rehabilitation and Repair Project; and authorize the City Manager to release the retention funds to the contractor.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Rockaway Pump Station is a stormwater sewage pump station located in the parking lot next to Rockaway Beach Plaza, connecting to the Mori Point to Rockaway Connector Walking Path.

On June 22, 2023, during the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget approval process, the Council approved funding for the Rockaway Pump Station Rehabilitation and Repair (Project). Improvements to the Rockaway Pump Station area were identified in the City’s Pump Stations Condition Assessment Report. Due to the existing generator’s advanced age and deteriorating condition, there is decreased reliability to provide backup power in the event of loss of Utility (PG&E) power.

On November 13, 2023, the City Council approved a Master Services Agreement and Task Order No. 1 between the City of Pacifica and Hazen and Sawyer, Inc. for Design and Engineering Services related to the Rockaway Pump Station Rehabilitation and Repair Project.

The authorized project budget for Engineering Design Services was $76,590 and utilized the Enterprise Fund (Fund 518) as its source.

On April 14, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to Award and Execute a Construction Agreement for the Rockaway Pump Station Rehabilitation and Repair Project. The Project included decommissioning the existing Cummins natural gas generator unit, installation 1 Packet Pg. 33
Pacifica City Council 2
March 23, 2026
of a temporary portable emergency engine generator unit, generator quick connect box, automatic transfer switch, electrical conduit and conductors for a complete operating system.

Engineering support during construction was necessary and the city issued Task Order 2 for Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) to Hazen and Sawyer on April 14, 2025, for an amount not to exceed $53,310.

The project was financed through the Enterprise Fund (Fund 518) and the authorized project budget for construction and engineering design services was $713,507.

One construction change order was issued to the contractor Blocka Construction Inc. during the course of construction in the amount of $3,382. With change order the total cost of the contract with Blocka Construction Inc. was $491,382.

As the project is now complete and staff is satisfied with the contractor’s work on the project, it is appropriate to record the formal Notice of Completion with the San Mateo County Recorder's Office. This recorded document is the legal notice that the City considers the project complete and that we intend to pay the contractor for the full and complete contract price. This also puts all subcontractors and suppliers on notice that if they have any claims for payment from the contractor, they have 30 days to file claims for payment against the City. This provision of contract law protects subcontractors from contractors who may not pay them properly. It also protects the city from claims against the city for any nonpayment on the part of the contractor.

The City withheld 5% of the contract amount, $24,569, as retention to make sure that all subcontractors and suppliers have been paid. The City will release the retention if no claims are received.

The City Manager is recommending the adoption of the attached resolution accepting completion of the project and the filing of the Notice of Completion (Attachment 1) with the San Mateo County Recorder's Office.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

There is no reasonable alternative to this action. Not approving the Notice of Completion will result in unnecessary delay to the release of the retention funds for the contractor.

RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:

Approval of the construction contract and supporting agreements is consistent with the following Council adopted Goals:
• Improve and Steward City Infrastructure, Streets, and Facilities. This construction project will improve the reliability of Rockaway Pump Station capacity by replacing outdated infrastructure and mitigate potential impacts of flooding including threatening the safety of residents and damaging private property or critical public infrastructure.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the filing of the Notice of Completion. The total project Source and Use of Funds table is shown below. The project balance will remain in Fund 518 – Enterprise Fund.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

At the July 8, 2024 City Council meeting, staff discussed a new 5-year Street Maintenance Program for years 2025 through 2029 (Attachment A). At this meeting, the City Council approved the new 5-year Street Maintenance Program with identified streets for rehabilitation and resurfacing. The goal of this current 5-year Street Maintenance program is to prevent streets from falling into more expensive repair categories. The City’s approved program does this by using slurry seal treatments to keep good streets in the good condition category (which is the least expensive way to maintain streets and considered best practice) and using a stopgap cape seal treatment on suitable residential and collector streets in the poorer condition categories. The cape seal, along with localized pavement repairs, will provide significant protection to the street surface of these poorer condition category streets for a period of seven to ten years preventing further deterioration of the street surface. This will allow time for the City to identify other pavement funding sources for street rehabilitation. In addition to slurry seal and cape seal treatments, the program will continue to assign overlay and reconstruction treatments to a limited number of arterial, collector and residential streets based on the extent of pavement deterioration and/or traffic volumes.

The FY 2026-27 Pavement Resurfacing Project will resurface approximately 7.28 miles of City pavement and follows the Council approved 5-year Street Maintenance Program. The project 2 Packet Pg. 38
Pacifica City Council 2
March 23, 2026
will resurface various streets in the Fairmont and Edgemar neighborhoods in Pacifica. The type of treatments used generally follow the 5-year pavement program with the exception of value engineering changes made by the pavement consultant to allow for project cost savings. These value engineering changes will allow the City to treat all the streets identified under the City’s FY 2026-27 pavement program. These changes include using two coats of slurry seal in place of a cape seal on appropriate streets and using a spot treatment called microsurfacing (similar to a thick slurry seal) to address areas of pavement distress. The overall project scope will include rubber cape seals, double slurry seals, slurry seals, multi-layer surface treatments, asphalt concrete grinding and paving, microsurfacing spot repairs, pavement striping and markings and other miscellaneous related work.

The project will be funded by money the City receives from Street Improvement (fund 213), SB 1 (Fund 210), and Measure W (Fund 211).

On June 23, 2025, the City Council approved a Consultant Services Agreement between the City of Pacifica and NCE for Design and Engineering Services related to the FY 2026-27 Pavement Resurfacing Project. The project will resurface various streets in Pacifica (see Attachment Project Plans). The project plans are also available to view on the City's website at:
https://www.cityofpacifica.org/departments/public-works/engineering/capital-improvementprojects/fy-2026-27-resurfacing-project The Project was advertised on January 14, 2026, and January 21, 2026, in accordance with the formal bid process. forty-two (42) companies downloaded plans and specifications, and five (5) companies submitted bids. On February 4, 2026, the bid opening was held via Zoom by the City Clerk, and the result is as follows:

Company Bid
American Pavement Systems, Inc. $1,451,059.88
Pavement Coatings Co. $1,500,295.95
VSS International, Inc. $1,517,325.00
DRYCO Construction, Inc. $1,535,288.47
American Asphalt Repair & Resurfacing Co., Inc. $1,635,563.49 The apparent low bidder is American Pavement Systems, Inc. with a base bid amount of $1,451,059.88. This is approximately 3% below the Engineer’s Estimate. All required documentation was submitted with their bid. American Pavement Systems, Inc. has performed resurfacing work in previous City’s projects, and their work has been satisfactory. As there are sufficient project funds from SB1, Measure W and Street Improvement Fund 13, the Interim City Manager recommends waiving minor bidding irregularity and awarding of contract (Attachment "A") to the apparent low bidder, American Pavement Systems, Inc. In addition, a 15% contingency is recommended to allow enough funding to handle any additional improvements that are identified during construction. Staff recommends authorizing a budget authority for construction in the amount of $1,670,000.00, which includes contingencies in an amount not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Construction Services Agreement amount for any unforeseen conditions and/or additional street work required.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

Council may choose not to approve the construction contract. However, this will result in project delays and a possible increase in future construction costs. Staff does not recommend this 2 Packet Pg. 39

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
3/23/2026
1 SUBJECT:

Consideration and Adoption of Resolution Appointing Sean Charpentier as City Manager and Approving the Employment Agreement between the City of Pacifica and Sean Charpentier (30 min.)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

The Ad Hoc Committee recommends that: (1) Council approve the Resolution appointing Sean Charpentier as City Manager and approving the Employment Agreement between the City of Pacifica and Sean Charpentier, and (2) authorize the Mayor to execute the attached Agreement with Sean Charpentier.

STAFF CONTACT:

Michelle Kenyon, City Attorney
BACKGROUND:

City Manager Kevin Woodhouse informed the City Council on September 2025 that he would be retiring effective March 11, 2026. At the November 16, 2025 Council meeting, the Council voted to retain the services of Gary Philipps, of the executive recruitment firm Bob Murray and Associates, to prepare materials and conduct the search. Mr. Phillips began work that week by interviewing each Councilmember and department director, and by preparing a brochure that reflected the values and requirements of the ideal candidate for our unique coastal community.

While the recruitment process took place, Mr. Phillips created and conducted community and staff surveys to elicit input on city challenges as well as important characteristics of a new city manager for Council’s consideration during the interview and selection process. The survey results were shared through a process update letter from Mayor Boles that was published on the city website on March 2, 2026.

The recruitment process closed on January 18, 2026 and resulted in 40 applications received.

Mr. Philipps ranked the applications based on qualifications and experience and conducted preliminary interviews with 12 top-tier candidates. The Council then met on January 29, 2026 to review the survey results and all the applications and narrowed the field down to 6 candidates.

All these candidates had prior City Manager or Assistant City Manager experience, which we felt was critical given our pressing financial and operational challenges. With leadership and proven problem-solving experience across multiple disciplines, a City Manager who could hit the ground running was ideal.

The City Council interviewed the 6 semi-finalist candidates in an all-day meeting on February 7, 2026. The field was narrowed down to three finalist candidates, who returned for a second round of interviews, first with our City staff department directors, and then with the City Council on February 24, 2026. The Council received 3 written professional recommendations for each candidate, samples of their writing in the form of a staff report for an important topic in their jurisdiction, as well as links to recordings of meetings they had led. Not wanting to rush a decision, the Council took an additional week to carefully review the materials, do our own independent research, and mull over our individual decisions, considering metrics such as experience in both government leadership positions and demonstrated creative, collaborative 4 Packet Pg. 60

problem solving, and a commitment to transparency and trust building. Personal traits were also important, such as being adaptable, approachable, a great listener and communicator, hardworking and willing to roll up their sleeves, leading with integrity, and respect for and commitment to service to the entire Pacifica community under the Council’s leadership.

The Council reconvened in closed session for our deliberation on March 3, 2026, and a clear top candidate was affirmed, Sean Charpentier, who not only met our criteria, but also possesses a deep love for Pacifica, our coastal environment, our local businesses, as well as our history and arts. Mr. Charpentier had also clearly done his homework, coming to us with open eyes to our challenges while bringing skills and a desire to work in partnership with the City Council, community and staff towards achieving our Strategic Plan goals. Mr. Charpentier is also committed to continuing to build the culture of our organization and supporting, mentoring and empowering our dedicated staff.

DISCUSSION:

Following the formal recruitment process detailed above, Sean Charpentier has been identified by the City Council as the candidate most qualified to perform the duties of City Manager as well as the candidate who is the best fit for Pacifica. A copy of Mr. Charpentier’s resume is attached.

Mr. Charpentier began his career in organizations working towards interim and permanent housing solutions for vulnerable low-income communities. Mr. Charpentier then shifted to local government, where he has worked for the past 20 years, starting in Economic Development in East Palo, advancing in the organization to Assistant and Interim City Manager from 2015-2019.

Mr. Charpentier currently serves as Executive Director of C/CAG, the City/County Association of Governments for all of San Mateo County, which is the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) and County Transportation Agency (CMA), Regional Stormwater Permit coordinator, and Airport Land Use Commission. As Executive Director, Mr. Charpentier was responsible for a $55.4 million budget and supported a Board of Directors with 23 members, including 21 elected officials appointed by local jurisdictions. He also leads several C/CAG subcommittees including the Resource Management and Climate Protection Committee on which Councilmember Beckmeyer serves, and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee on which Vice Mayor Wright and Councilmember Bier serve. He also leads San Mateo County’s Stormwater and Water Quality efforts which include sea level rise planning.

Mr. Charpentier graduated from Clark University with a Baccalaureate Degree in International Development and Social Change and received a Master’s Degree in City and Regional Planning from U.C. Berkeley. He brings a wealth of experience in executive leadership and administration, organizational health and stability, finance, economic development, grant securement, infrastructure modernization, city planning and redevelopment, transportation and micromobility, climate resiliency and adaptation, affordable housing development, as well as experience finding collaborative solutions to address homelessness, water rights issues, and economic growth. Mr. Charpentier has also built strong working relationships on the federal, state, and regional levels, essential skills to support Pacifica’s many infrastructure and environmental challenges. In his own words, “A good city manager is very visible in the community and engaged” and he envisions Pacifica becoming an “exemplary example of a prosperous, sustainable, and equitable coastal community.” Following the selection of the candidate, the Council appointed Mayor Christine Boles and Vice Mayor Greg Wright to serve on the subcommittee to negotiate terms and conditions of employment with Mr. Charpentier. The result of those negotiations is reflected in the attached Employment Agreement between the City of Pacifica and Sean Charpentier (“Agreement”).

Recommended Action
The Ad Hoc Committee recommends that:
4 Packet Pg. 61
Pacifica City Council 3
March 23, 2026
1) Council approve the attached Resolution which appoints Sean Charpentier as City Manager, and
2) authorize the Mayor to execute the attached Agreement with Sean Charpentier.

If the employment agreement is approved by Council, Mr. Charpentier’s employment with the City of Pacifica would begin on May 4, 2026.

The City Manager position is the most important role in the City. Investment in the total compensation package is necessary to attract excellent experienced candidates to lead Pacifica forward. In the Ad Hoc Committee’s discussion of salary, we considered that the previous City Manager’s base salary was $314,000, plus $10,000 per year in deferred compensation. This amount had not been adjusted since October 9, 2024. $330,000 represents approximately a 5.1 % increase, which is more than offset in the first year by salary savings from an unfilled Assistant City Manager position during the transition period. As part of the City Manager Compensation Study dated 3/14/25 (Attachment C) the median salary of 11 comparator cities in San Mateo County was calculated at $358,592. San Bruno, the city closest to Pacifica in population served, is currently paying its City Manager an annual maximum salary of $346,940 which is scheduled to rise to $360,800 in July 2026. San Bruno also provides the city manager with 20% of the purchase price of a home, up to $140,000, as well as a car allowance of $450 a month.

In accordance with Government Code section 54953(c)(3), the City Council is to receive an oral summary report of the salary and compensation, including fringe benefits, paid to any local agency executive prior to taking final action. Under the terms of this Agreement, the City Manager would be entitled to receive the following compensation and benefits:
• An annual base salary of $330,000.
• A contribution to a deferred compensation account in the amount of $10,000,00 annually. • Annual administrative leave of 96 hours, pro-rated for 2026. • Vacation Leave bank of 10 days of vacation upon commencement of employment and vacation leave accrual rate of 7.38 hours per pay period which equates to 24 vacation days annually.
• The same holidays, sick leave and long-term disability benefits, retirement benefits, insurance benefits including, but not limited to, life, health and dental coverage, in the same manner provided to department directors as detailed in Unrepresented Management and Confidential Employees Resolution No 65-2025 and as may be updated.
• Other specific terms, including resignation, termination and severance, identical to the contract of previous City Manager, Kevin Woodhouse.
• See Attachment A for full contract terms.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This activity is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).).

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

Deny contract approval and restart search for new City Manager as well as longer term Interim City Manager. The Ad Hoc Committee does not recommend this action as it would add significant cost and disrupt staff progress on critical Community Development, infrastructure, and coastal management projects.

March 23, 2026
FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Employment Agreement will not result in an additional fiscal impact to the FY 2025-26 budget, as the cost associated with this agreement will be offset by salary savings within the City Manager’s Office. The base salary for the incoming City Manager is $330,000 annually, the resulting annual net increase is approximately $20,000 and will be added to the FY 2026-27 Base Budget.
