If the services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Consultant and all subconsultants performing such services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Consultant shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subconsultants, as applicable. This Project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.

It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.

Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor.

14. Verification of Employment Eligibility.

SEISMIC RETROFIT
JAS Pacific have staff who have implemented and conducted seismic retrofit programs for jurisdictions in California. JAS Pacific President Mr. Raj Patel, during this tenure as Building Official for the City of Beverly Hills, initiated a Soft-Story Seismic Retrofit Program for the city’s vulnerable soft-story apartment buildings. His development of the program included technical research, initiation of several community meetings, and close correspondence with the City Manager and City Council before success passage of the ordinance, and a high completion rate of Soft-Story buildings in Beverly Hills.

JAS Pacific Senior Vice-President Mr. Ron Takiguchi initiated and implemented a comprehensive seismic retrofit program while he was Building Official for the City of Santa Monica. This included a mandatory seismic retrofit for all vulnerable building types including Soft-Story Buildings, Non-Ductile Concrete Buildings, and the Nation’s First Mandatory Seismic Retrofit of Steel-Moment Frame Buildings. Related to this experience, Mr. Takiguchi authored a paper entitled “City of Santa Monica: Successful Implementation of Smaller Community Resilience” that was published and presented at the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute’s 2018 - 11th U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering Conference. JAS Pacific can work with staff at El Paso De Robles to advise, develop and initiate such programs

REACH CODES / ZERO NET ENERGY
During his tenure as Building Official for the City of Santa Monica, Mr. Ron Takiguchi – while working with the Planning Department and Office of Sustainability and the Environment of Santa Monica developed a mandatory Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Code for new single-family dwellings – the third such ordinance to be implemented in the State of California. The basis for ZNE achievement was mandatory installation of a solar photovoltaic system and other measures – years prior to the California Energy Commission’s requirement of solar augmentation. JAS Pacific can work with Building & Safety for similarly related programs

GREEN BUILDING - SUSTAINABILITY
The process of State Building Code adoption provides an advanced look at developing and proposing codes and standards. Included in this process are the Workgroups of various State Agencies and the Code Advisory Committees of the California Building Standards Commission.

Being at the development forefront, Ron Takiguchi and JAS Pacific can advise the City on measures in anticipation of development and building standards, and can advise on City amendments to the CALGreen Code – and California Energy Code.

BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION
Prior to the ruling of the United States Supreme Court to restrict banning of natural gas in buildings, Ron Takiguchi, during his tenure as Building Official for the City of Pasadena, and Bob Latz, serving the City of Sacramento, developed mandatory Building Electrification Programs for new commercial and multi-family buildings. Pasadena’s Building Electrification Program provided several exceptions to the mandate while seeking health and environmental benefits of reduced fossil fuels in buildings. Sacramento’s Electrification Program was specialized for new commercial applications with exceptions for the restaurants and existing businesses.

ORDINANCE DEVELOPMENT

Council Agenda Report
From: David Athey PE, Water Resources Manager
Subject: Approval of an Agreement with Todd Groundwater for the Development of the City’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), and 15378.

Date: June 3, 2025
Facts

1. The California Urban Water Management Planning Act requires every urban water supplier providing municipal water to more than 3,000 customers, or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually, to prepare and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years demonstrating water supply reliability in normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years.

2. The UWMP supports the City’s long-term water resource planning efforts to ensure that adequate supplies are available to meet existing and future water needs.

3. The City’s last UWMP (2020) was adopted by the City Council in June 2021. As such, by July 1, 2026 the City must adopt a 2025 UWMP in compliance with the California Water Code for the City to remain eligible for state grants, low interest loans, and other assistance.

4. City staff secured a sole source proposal from Todd Groundwater for assistance with the development of the 2025 UWMP. Todd Groundwater has assisted the City with UWMP Development since 2000 and is familiar with the City’s water supply resources.

5. UWMP development will take approximately one year and will involve public review and additional City Council approval.

Options

1. Take no action; or

2. Award a consultant services contract to Todd Groundwater for development of the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan; or

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
The UWMP serves as a foundational water planning document for water suppliers across California. When thoughtfully developed, a UWMP offers City staff, elected officials, and the public a comprehensive understanding of historical trends, current conditions, and future projections related to water supply and demand.

More than just a planning requirement, the UWMP presents an opportunity to strategically align water resources with community needs through a balanced and methodical framework. This approach facilitates both near-term operational decision-making and long-term strategic planning for water supply reliability.

Page 199 of 385 ends

This will enhance the City’s ability to respond to stressors such as population growth, climate variability, and prolonged drought
The UWMP also functions as a dynamic management tool—one that agencies can reference regularly to inform policy and operational decisions. Beyond the local level, UWMPs collectively contribute to a broader understanding of statewide water reliability. By compiling data from across jurisdictions, these plans provide the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the State Water Resources Control Board, and the Legislature with critical insights needed to shape effective water policy at the state level.

Staff have reviewed the proposal with Todd Groundwater, dated May 12, 2025, and is included as Exhibit B in attached resolution. The proposal includes tasks for data acquisition and analysis, water demand and supply documentation, a reliability assessment, and water demand management measures. In addition, the proposal includes attendance at public meetings, preparation of a draft and final plan, and attendance at the City Council Meeting. UWMP development will commence immediately upon approval of a contract with Todd Groundwater. Staff recommends that Todd Groundwater be retained to develop the 2025 master plan because of their expertise in UWMP development, Todd’s in depth knowledge of the City’s water supply and the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin. Furthermore, Todd’s proposed fee is reasonable for the scope of services that are needed to be provided and is also in-line with previous UWMP updates.

Fiscal Impact
The total cost of the contract to Todd Groundwater is $125,000 to be paid from the Water Fund. This is a known cost and is included in baseline the Water Funds budgets and rate studies. As such, no further action is necessary.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), and 15378.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve Resolution 25-XXX, approving an agreement with Todd Groundwater for development and submittal of an Urban Water Management Plan and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement, subject to any minor, technical, or non-substantive changes as approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.

PROPOSAL
To: David M. Athey, PE, Water Resources Manager, City of El Paso de Robles From: Kate White, PE, Maureen Reilly, PE and Iris Priestaf, PhD Re: Preparation of the 2025 City of Paso Robles Urban Water Management Plan The Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) supports the City of Paso Robles’ overall effort toward sustainable supply. It provides an opportunity to review water demand in light of available water supplies and promotes effective water demand management. It is a major document for the City to evaluate water supply sustainability, to assess the means to ensure reliability, and to communicate with the community.

Tood Groundwater has an in-depth knowledge of the City based on our preparation of the City’s 2000 through 2020 UWMPs, development of twelve SB610 water supply assessments (WSAs) and water supply evaluations, long service to City staff and legal counsel team, and knowledge of local groundwater basins.

The Public Draft of the UWMP 2025 Guidebook has not yet been released, but we have assessed recent changes to UWMP guidance and expect that the scope of work presented below is sufficiently flexible to allow us to prepare the City’s UWMP in accordance with the guidelines when they become available. The 2025 UWMPs are due July 1, 2026.

A 20-year projection to 2045 is required for UWMPs but extension to 2050 is recommended to bridge the gap between the five-year UWMP cycles. The 2020 UWMP extended out to 2045. An extension of the 2025 UWMP to 2050 supports the utility of the UWMP for landuse planning actions (such as WSAs) and provides California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance during those gap years (2026-2030). Buildout is projected to occur in 2050 or later.

Proposal for City of Paso Robles
2025 UWMP 2 TODD GROUNDWATER

1. SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1. PLAN COORDINATION AND DATA ACQUISITION
Task 1 includes project management, data requests, agency collaboration, public outreach, close coordination with City staff, a virtual kickoff meeting, and in person attendance at two Council meetings.

Task 1.1 Kickoff Meeting and Data Acquisition
The project will begin with a virtual kickoff meeting held with City staff and Todd Groundwater to identify and acquire needed information, gain guidance, and discuss potential issues. We will review the new UWMP requirements, noting these will necessitate additional data gathering activities with City staff (e.g., for energy audit). The kickoff will include identification of team member roles, discussion of methods to obtain data, review of the technical approach and identification of agencies and interested parties to be included in the UWMP process. We will confirm a detailed schedule and prepare and circulate an initial data request list prior to the kickoff meeting.

Task 1.2 Agency Coordination
Consistent with the water code, the 2025 UWMP will include collaboration with local and regional agencies, including the Paso Robles Paso Robles Area Groundwater Authority, San Miguel Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) and Atascadero Subbasin GSA. Other agencies include San Luis Obispo County, City of Atascadero, Atascadero Mutual Water Company, Templeton Community Services District, and San Miguel Community Services District. These agencies will be provided notices and solicited for comments on the UWMP as appropriate.

We understand that the City has a substantial list of interested parties and a list of requirements for notifications. We will assist in updating the list and provide a recommended timeline for notifications with the understanding that City staff will manage the notifications. We anticipate that the City will update its website with relevant notices, announcements, and the Draft UWMP, and that most people will visit the website to stay informed. Nonetheless, the City may consider directly contacting the interested parties with notification of public meetings concerning the UWMP, notification of the availability of a draft plan for review, and/or requests for information. We anticipate that all interested parties will receive a notice of intent to adopt. This coordination will be summarized in tables and attachments in the Final UWMP.

Task 1.3 Council Meeting and Public Hearing
We recognize that the City’s active management and the community’s sustained interest in water supply will warrant an open, engaging process. We will prepare a presentation for the Draft UWMP at a City Council meeting and will update it as necessary for the Public Hearing for consideration of adoption of the Final UWMP. We will attend both Council meetings in person with the understanding that City staff will do the presentations and we will be available for questions.

Exhibit B

Page 226 of 385 ends

Proposal for City of Paso Robles
2025 UWMP 3 TODD GROUNDWATER
The Public Hearing will need to be noticed in the local newspaper for two successive weeks (14 calendar days), at least two times, with at least five days between publication dates, in accordance with Government Code section 6066. This notice should include time and place of the hearing and the location where the plan is available for public review. We anticipate that City staff will handle the scheduling, announcements and notifications. We will assist the City with these tasks.

Task 1.4 Project Management
This task includes regular communication with staff and monthly reporting of technical progress, schedule, and budget.

TASK 2. SERVICE AREA DESCRIPTION
This task involves updating the description of the City and the associated demographics presented in the 2020 UWMP.

Building on the past UWMP and other available documents, we will provide a description of the service area, including a brief discussion of the water system, recent water system improvements, and major potential developments. Climatic conditions (such as average monthly rainfall, evapotranspiration, and temperature) will also be updated. A brief discussion of the effects of climate change on water demands, supplies and reliability may be included in this section.

A discussion of current and projected land uses will be included in the service area description. Appropriate figures such as a City and service area boundary map, groundwater subbasins locations, recycled water system, and annexations since 2020 and sphere of influence may be included in the UWMP.

Coordination among the Todd Groundwater team, City staff, plus the County is necessary for consistency among planning documents. Working with staff, we will review existing and projected population data from available sources (e.g., census data, California Department of Finance, City’s General Plan, 2022 Utility Rate Study, and other City Planning documents).

These data will be adjusted and inconsistencies between the population projections and other relevant planning documents will be documented and addressed. Additional demographic information such as housing and employment projections will be examined.

Socio-economic information that may affect water management and planning will be updated. Population data will be presented in five-year increments between 2025 and 2050.

Population data are fundamental to water demand estimates and will be evaluated carefully for consistency throughout the document and with other planning documents.

TASK 3. WATER DEMAND DOCUMENTATION
The water demand discussion from the 2020 UWMP will be updated with current water demands for each of the ten water use sectors (at a minimum) identified in Water Code Section 10631(d) (e.g., single family residential, multifamily, commercial, industrial, institutional and governmental, landscape, distribution system losses, agricultural, sales to Exhibit B

Page 227 of 385 ends

Proposal for City of Paso Robles
2025 UWMP 4 TODD GROUNDWATER
other agencies, and saline water intrusion barriers/groundwater recharge/conjunctive use) to the extent that records are available. This will include documentation of the number of service connections and historical water use for each sector. Potable and non-potable (recycled) water use should be reported separately. Unaccounted-for water (system losses) will be documented in full compliance with the updated requirements. We will assess and report noteworthy trends of water use. DWR recommends that demands be reported in monthly increments.

We will report on progress toward meeting the targeted 20% reduction in per-capita urban water consumption by 2020, as required by the Water Conservation Act of 2009.

We will include a brief description of the City’s compliance with the targeted 20 percent reduction in per-capita urban water consumption as required by the Water Conservation Act of 2009 and include any other requirements included in DWR’s 2025 UWMP guidelines.

We will work with City staff to develop future water demands in five-year increments out to 2050 and for the next five consecutive years (e.g., 2026 through 2030) for the five-year water supply reliability assessment. Projected land use changes are to be incorporated in the demand forecasting. Todd Groundwater will review previously completed future water demand estimates from the 2020 UWMP and more recent planning documents. New future demand estimates will be prepared through 2050. Methodologies or values will be explained, and descriptions of projected water use will be included in the discussion.

We will also work with the City to update the projected water use for lower income households and to include information if future water savings estimates and lower income household demands are included in the water use projections. A lower income household has an income below 80 percent of area median income, adjusted for family size.

DWR recommends including a description of what type and degree of climate change impacts were considered in the water use projections.

TASK 4. WATER SUPPLY DOCUMENTATION
The City’s water supply includes groundwater, Salinas River underflow, recycled water, and imported Nacimiento Water Project (NWP) water. Groundwater is from the Paso Robles Subbasin (DWR Basin 3-004.06) and the Atascadero Area Subbasin (DWR Basin 3-004.11) which are parts of the Salinas Valley Groundwater Basin. The UWMP will include an up-todate discussion of these two subbasins. It will build on the 2020 UWMP discussion with more recent data and documents, including information from the Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs), to provide a meaningful description of the groundwater subbasins, discussion of the availability of groundwater, and efforts to reach sustainability.

Past, current, and future City groundwater pumping will be documented or estimated. The UWMP will include a table showing groundwater pumped in the past five years. Some of the production may be reported in monthly increments as recommended by DWR. Future groundwater production estimates will be prepared in five-year increments from 2025 to Exhibit B

Page 228 of 385 ends

Proposal for City of Paso Robles
2025 UWMP 5 TODD GROUNDWATER
2050. Recognizing the importance of ongoing local groundwater management, this section will include a discussion of groundwater basin management programs and information provided in the Paso Robles Subbasin GSP and 5-year GSP Evaluation, in the Atascadero Basin GSP, and respective Annual Reports as needed.

We will update the discussion of the NWP water supply. The City has secured a 6,488 AFY NWP water entitlement. We will also update the discussion on Salinas River water use.

The UWMP will update documentation of water recycling, including brief descriptions of wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities; current, potential, and projected recycled water use; and the City’s progress toward water recycling including construction of its recycled water distribution system (anticipated to be complete and operational by late 2026) and delivery of tertiary-quality recycled water to irrigated lands for in-lieu recharge.

Consistent with the water code, this section will document public outreach and agency coordination efforts that are undertaken to encourage water recycling. In 2019 the City began operating the first part of its recycled water system, which included filtration and ultraviolet light disinfection facilities at the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment Plant. Global Water Intelligence awarded the City its 2020 Wastewater Project of the Year due to the project's many environmentally innovative features.

As required, potable and non-potable water supply and use will be reported separately. As recommended by DWR, some of the NWP and recycled water information may be reported in monthly increments, as appropriate. To be responsive to the water code, we will update the UWMP with regard to opportunities for use of desalinated water (e.g., ocean water and brackish groundwater) and for transfers or exchanges with other water agencies.

A summary table will be developed that quantifies all existing and planned water sources in five-year increments through 2050. It will also include estimated supplies for the next five consecutive years (e.g., 2026 through 2030) for the five-year water supply reliability assessment.

Long-term forecasts for each water source will be included and will include impacts from climate change and provide supporting information. DWR recommends including a description of what type and degree of climate change impacts were considered in the water use projections.

UWMPS are now required to include an energy analysis that provides information on the energy needed for water service. Energy use was not included in the City’s 2020 UWMP because data was incomplete or did not accurately represent the City’s energy use related to water and wastewater. The 2020 UWMP indicated that the City was in the process of collecting this data and anticipated having more complete information available for its 2025 UWMP. We will work with the City to include this data in the 2025 UWMP.

The discussion of all existing and planned water sources will account for normal supply conditions, and a single dry year and the driest five-year period of record. We assume that the 2020 requirement for assessment of water supply reliability under normal conditions, Exhibit B

Page 229 of 385 ends

Proposal for City of Paso Robles
2025 UWMP 6 TODD GROUNDWATER
single dry-year conditions, and five consecutive dry years will be maintained and are prepared to update this analysis to include recent hydrologic conditions.

The tables generated for this task will address water supply in normal years; reliability and potential climatic impacts to supply (e.g., drought) will be analyzed in Task 5, Water Reliability Assessment.

TASK 5. WATER RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT
This section will compare the City’s water supply portfolio with its water use characterization under different hydrologic conditions to highlight water service reliability.

This information will be used to develop a Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) to document near-term reliability by assuming the next five consecutive years are dry.

Task 5.1 Normal Conditions Supply and Demand Comparison Building on the supply and demand information generated in previous tasks, we will compare supply and demand under normal climatic conditions in five-year intervals between 2025 and 2050. These comparisons will provide the basis for evaluation of the reliability of water supply and its vulnerability to seasonal or climatic shortage. DWR recommends that potable and non-potable water uses be separated in the reliability analyses.

Task 5.2 Drought Supply and Demand and Drought Risk Assessment The evaluation of water service reliability will address an extreme, single-year drought, accounting for expected changes in water demand by sector (for example, increasing landscape water use as well as effects of water conservation or rationing). A Drought Risk Assessment will include integrated water supplies and projected water use in a hypothetical five-year drought condition.

Task 5.3 Water Reliability Issues
This task will involve a summary of the possible constraints on water supply sources. These could include water quality, legal, environmental, and climatic factors. We will review and summarize recent studies, including the GSPs and annual reports, on water supply constraints, including climate change. Management strategies to address these constraints will be provided where applicable. The 2025 guidelines may include additional climate change analysis recommendations. An evaluation of any proposed water supply facilities and key supply-related capital improvements projects in light of these water reliability issues is also included in this task.

Water supply reliability in the UWMP must also address energy and seismic risk analysis. We will include information from the energy audit that must be prepared to calculate the energy required for water service to assess energy risk. Energy use was not included in the City’s 2020 UWMP because data was incomplete or did not accurately represent the City’s energy use related to water and wastewater. The 2020 UWMP indicated that the City was in the process of collecting this data and anticipated having more complete information available for its 2025 UWMP. The seismic risk assessment included in the 2020 UWMP will Exhibit B

Page 230 of 385 ends

Proposal for City of Paso Robles
2025 UWMP 7 TODD GROUNDWATER
be updated and will show coordination between water supply infrastructure planning and a county or regional hazard mitigation plan.

Task 5.4 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
The City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) was updated in the previous UWMP to reflect the requirements of the 2020 UWMP guidelines. The WSCP will be updated to reflect specific actions to be taken in response to short-term shortages, including changes to single and multiple dry years and any new approaches to emergency response the City and County have developed since completion of the 2020 UWMP. We will also incorporate new water shortage contingency requirements that may be included in the 2025 UWMP guidelines from DWR.

TASK 6. WATER DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES
This task will address the present and proposed future measures, programs, and policies to help achieve the mandated water use reductions. The City complies with Best Management Practices of the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC). Conservation measures implemented by the City will be discussed in detail as well as measures to achieve water conservation goals. This will include development of any new demand management related requirements that may be part of the upcoming 2025 UWMP guidelines from DWR.

We anticipate that the City will provide most of the text for this section. We will work with City staff to weave their text into the UWMP.

TASK 7. DRAFT AND FINAL PLAN PREPARATION
We will prepare a UWMP for the City that satisfies State requirements and provides a plan that supports the City in their planning and management of water resources. It will be complete, to the point, readable and accessible to City staff, policy makers, and interested stakeholders. The plan will be appropriately illustrated and will include all required tables, a reference list, acronyms and abbreviations. Detailed analyses and relevant documents (e.g., resolutions, agreements, etc.) will be provided in appendices.

We recommend organizing the report similar to the DWR guidebook for consistency and ease of use. In our experience, this basic sequence supports a plan that is easily read and accessed. It also minimizes cross-references and repetition. It does not follow the sequence of the water code sections; however, we will provide a table that links the plan contents to water code sections. If the DWR guidelines for 2025 UWMPs requires unanticipated changes to the contents of the plan we will incorporate this information so as to preserve the readability and usefulness of the document.

Task 7.1 Administrative Draft and Public Draft UWMP
We will prepare and submit the Administrative Draft UWMP for staff review in electronic format, including a word file set to track changes and comments and a pdf that includes tables, figures, and other components of the plan. Comments by staff can be made in these electronic documents or transmitted separately. Following inclusion of staff comments, we Exhibit B

Page 231 of 385 ends

Proposal for City of Paso Robles
2025 UWMP 8 TODD GROUNDWATER
will provide the Public Draft UWMP electronically as a single pdf file of the entire report for distribution to interested parties and the public.

Task 7.2 Final UWMP
We will compile written and verbal comments on the Public Draft UWMP, provide recommendations for addressing each comment and incorporate necessary changes into a Final UWMP. This will include comments received during the circulation period and at the public hearing. The Final UWMP will be delivered to the City electronically.

The Final UWMP and tables will be uploaded to DWR’s WUE Data Portal by July 1, 2026. In addition, a CD or hardcopy of the adopted 2025 UWMP must be submitted to the California State Library within 30 days of adoption. Electronic copies will also be submitted to San Luis Obispo County.

2. SCHEDULE
Our proposed schedule results in completion of the Urban Water Management Plan in early June 2026, before the July 1, 2026 submittal deadline. A preliminary schedule is summarized below and lists the meetings and deliverables. We will begin when notified to proceed and can prepare much of the report in advance; nonetheless we recommend that most of the work be delayed strategically until draft guidelines for the 2025 UWMP are available. Once draft guidelines have been released, we will contact DWR to assess what additional changes they anticipate in the final guidelines and then modify the schedule if needed. This schedule assumes timely provision of information from the City; on our part, we will support the schedule with regular communication and the commitment of our key staff.

Below is a tentative schedule for June 3, 2026 adoption:
x June 2025 – Kickoff Meeting (via Zoom or Teams)
x Fall 2025 – Final Guidelines from DWR released
x Before April 3, 2026: Notify the County that a public hearing will occur on June 3 to adopt 2025 UWMP (minimum 60-day notice)
x Early March 2026: Administrative Draft to the City
x Mid-March: Consolidated comments on Administrative Draft from the City x Early April 2026: Public Draft available for review, post to website x May 2026: Notice June 3 public hearing (Government Code Section 6066) x May 6 or 20: Presentation of Public Draft at Council meeting by City staff x June 3, 2026: Presentation of Final to Council, Public Hearing and UWMP Adoption x Before July 1, 2026: Submit UWMP to DWR through WUE Data Portal x Within 30 days of Adoption: Submit plan to California State Library and the County of San Luis Obispo.

Council Agenda Report
From: David Athey, Water Resources Manager
Subject: Approval of a Resolution Authorizing an Agreement between the City and San Luis Obispo County for Cross Connection Inspections
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Date: June 17, 2025
Facts

1. In 2015, the City and the County of San Luis Obispo (County) entered into a 10-year agreement for the cross-connection inspection services, which is currently in effect from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2025.

2. The City and the County desire to enter into another 10-year agreement for the same crossconnection inspection services.

3. Cross-connection services are needed to ensure the protection of the City’s water system and comply with State law pertaining to cross-connections and backflow elimination.

4. The City contracts with the County because the County has qualified staff who are trained, experienced, expert, and competent to provide cross-connection inspection services.

5. The City does not have the staffing with the training and time to complete all cross-connection inspections. This agreement allows the City to complete all required inspections without hiring additional staff.

6. The agreement is a time and cost contract. The City will only pay for actual inspection-related time and materials used by the County.

7. The proposed agreement may be terminated with 30 days’ notice by either party without cause.

Options

1. Take no action; or

2. Approve a contract for another 10-years with the County of San Luis Obispo for cross-connection inspection services; or

3. Approve a shorter-term contract with the County; or

4. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
Cross-connection inspections are required by the State of California Title 17 to protect the health and safety of the City water system customers and users. Cross-connections typically occur when potable water piping is connected to non-potable or contaminated water pipes. This can result in bacterial, chemical, or physical contamination of City water. Cross-connections can be found on hose bibbs, irrigation sprinkler systems, fire sprinkler systems, livestock water containers, wells, water storage tanks and evaporative coolers. The problem is a dynamic one, because piping systems are continually being installed, altered, or extended.

Page 235 of 385 ends

Cross-connection inspections are conducted as a way of identifying and eliminating these types of connections. By contracting with the County, City staff can focus on water system operation and maintenance and forgo the ongoing training and lengthy inspections that are required by the State. The County has expertise and staff and using County resources makes economic and time sense. The program has worked well with the City and County over the last 10 years.

Fiscal Impact
The total cost of the contract for ongoing yearly time and material costs is approximately $20,000 to 30,000, or $200,000 to $300,000 over the 10-year agreement. These costs are included in the City’s Water Fund baseline budget and rate studies. As such, no additional action is necessary.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), and 15378.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve Resolution 25-XXX, approving the Agreement with the County of San Luis Obispo for CrossConnection Inspection Services in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and incorporated herein by reference, and authorizes the City Manager to execute the Agreement, subject to any minor, technical, or non-substantive changes as approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.

Council Agenda Report
From: Paul Patti, Battalion Chief/Fire Marshal
Subject: Approval of Resolution Confirming the Existence of Weeds or Noxious Growth Creating a Potential Fire Hazard and Ordering their Abatement
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Date: June 17, 2025
Facts

1. On June 3, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution 25-059, declaring weeds or noxious growth on 334 specific properties within the City to be a nuisance.

2. “Notice to Abate” letters were mailed to each affected property owner, outlining the violations and steps required for compliance.

3. The 334 property owners were also notified of this public hearing and invited to show cause why the conditions should not be declared a nuisance and why the City should not proceed with abatement.

4. An updated exhibit of properties still in violation will be provided at the 6 p.m. City Council meeting on June 17, 2025.

5. Under Paso Robles Municipal Code Ordinance No. 1068 N.S., the City Council has the authority to direct the Fire Chief to abate the nuisance by removing weeds, rubbish, refuse, and dirt.

Options

1. Take no action.

2. Declare a public nuisance relating to weed abatement and order the Fire Chief to abate the weeds and noxious growth on those properties that are non-compliant as of June 17, 2025.

3. Amend or modify the Resolution as submitted.

4. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services takes a proactive approach to fire prevention through enforcement of the City’s Weed Abatement Ordinance (Ordinance No. 1068 N.S.). As part of this effort, more than 11,700 properties were inspected. Following public outreach, inspection, and formal notifications, 161 properties, as listed in Exhibit A, remain in violation and require abatement.

Declaring these properties as a public nuisance and authorizing abatement is a necessary step to mitigate fire hazards and ensure public safety. The Fire Marshal will serve as the enforcement superintendent, overseeing the removal of hazardous vegetation and debris.

Page 249 of 385 ends

Upon Council approval of the resolution, the Fire Marshal will coordinate abatement efforts through a private contractor retained by the City. The contractor is scheduled to begin clearing weeds, rubbish, and noxious growth immediately following the public hearing.

Property owners who bring their parcels into full compliance before the contractor arrives will not be charged for abatement. This provides a final opportunity for owners to avoid the costs associated with forced compliance.

All abatement work is expected to be completed by June 30, 2025, ahead of the region’s peak fire season.

The full cost of abatement, including all administrative and operational expenses, will be billed to each non-compliant property owner. If payment is not received, the City will recover the costs through a special tax assessment lien, recorded against the property and collected via the San Luis Obispo County Tax Assessor’s annual property tax billing. The lien remains in effect until the full amount is repaid to the City Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City for this action. The full cost of abatement, including administrative costs, will be recovered through billing and special assessments placed on the affected properties.

However, costs associated with notifying properties that ultimately complied with Ordinance 1068 N.S. will not be recouped.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Recommendation
Approve Resolution 25-XXX, confirming the existence of public nuisance(s) described in Exhibit A and ordering the abatement of weeds or noxious growth to abate the nuisance.

Council Agenda Report
From: Chris Huot, City Manager
Subject: Second Reading by Title Only and Adoption of Ordinance No. 1153, Amending Paso Robles Municipal Code Chapter 12.44.010 Regarding Employee Parking Permits CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Date: June 17, 2025
Facts

1. The Downtown Employee Permit Parking Pilot Program (the “program”) was approved by the City Council on October 16, 2018, to provide a low-cost parking option for downtown business owners and employees. As of January 2025, the City no longer has the dedicated staff or access to the technology to issue permits and as a result, there is no ability to provide enforcement for the lots. Therefore, the employee permit program as previously constituted is no longer operational.

2. The program was initially established prior to the implementation of paid on-street parking. The intent was to encourage employees to use designated parking lots, leaving on-street spaces available for customers.

3. The employee permit parking lots were located at:
o Spring Street and 12th Street
o 12th Street, adjacent to Marv’s Pizza
o Alley between Pine Street and Railroad Street, 13th Street and 12th Street o 12th Street and Railroad Street

4. Downtown employees had the option to purchase monthly or annual parking permits, either individually or in bulk. Annual permits were prorated and cost $5 per month.

5. These City-owned employee parking lots collectively include a total of 98 parking spaces.

6. The City Hall/Library and Train Station parking lots were previously part of the employee permit parking lot program, but have since been converted to first come, first served parking lots without timed or permit restrictions.

7. Additionally, the City has 30-minute on-street parking spaces aims to provide convenient short-term parking for customers. There are currently 35 such spaces in the downtown area, which remain available for quick errands.

8. In May 2024, the City Council ended the paid, on-street parking program. Most on-street parking spaces within the downtown area are now first come, first served, without any time restrictions. The 30-minute and disabled parking spots remain throughout the downtown area.

9. On August 20, 2024, City Council directed staff to review several elements of the employee parking lot program, including:
o Research the ownership and usage restrictions of employee permit only parking lots o Research a reduced or no cost decal-based permit system o Explore options and associated costs of increasing enforcement

Page 259 of 385 ends

o Conduct outreach to downtown parking stakeholders

10. On December 3, 2024, staff presented its review and analysis of the program.

11. During that presentation a number of questions were raised regarding title or other limitations on the City’s ability to terminate the exclusive use of these lots as employee parking lots.

12. Subsequent to that presentation, the City Council approved first reading by title only of an ordinance to eliminate the employee parking program as of January 1, 2025 and to return the parking lots to first come, first served public parking lots.

13. During the December 17, 2024 the City Council considered second reading to eliminate the employee parking program as of January 1, 2025. At that time, the City Council voted to continue the item to June 17, 2025 and directed staff to conduct additional stakeholder outreach on the topic.

Community Outreach
Since December 2024, staff met with the following individuals, committees and organizations to receive additional feedback and input on the future utilization of the downtown parking lots:
 Main Street Association Board President Jeffry Weisinger  Travel Paso
 Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance
 Paso Robles and Templeton Chamber of Commerce
 Main Street Association Design and Economic Development Committee  Main Street Association Board of Directors
In each meeting, staff provided an overview of the presentation made to the City Council in December 2024 which included general background on the history of the lots, overview of a low-cost permit system, a review of enforcement capacity of the police department and discussion of the 30 minute on-street parking spaces. The presentations also included background information City staff’s initial recommendation to return the parking lots to first come, first served public parking lots.

Representatives from Travel Paso, Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance, and Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce reviewed the presentation, asked staff questions and provided general feedback that favored the parking lots reverting back to first come, first served public parking lots that would be open to employees and patrons of downtown businesses.

Staff met three times with various individuals of the Main Street Association, including directly with Board President Jeffry Weisinger, the Design and Economic Development Committee, and Board of Directors.

The Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association provided the attached e-mail correspondence. In summary, the Main Street Association Board of Directors recommends the City revise the current Downtown Employee Parking Program. They recommend shifting from a permit-based system to a system that operates on an honor system—similar to the 30-minute parking spaces. The revised approach would open the lots to the public while designating them as "Employee Preferred Parking" without permits, enforcement or fines.

The feedback from the Main Street Association recommends:
 Removing "Permit Parking Only" signage.
 Installing new signs that indicate “Public Parking” and “Employee Preferred Parking,” modeled after honor-based signage used by retailers in shopping center parking lots.  Maintaining a program in a way that avoids enforcement and management costs but encourages employee use of the parking lots through goodwill and voluntary compliance.

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Approve second reading by title only and adopt Ordinance 1153 deleting Section 12.44.010 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code;

3. Approve second reading by title only and adopt Ordinance 1153 deleting Section 12.44.010 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code and direct staff to implement “Employee Preferred Parking” signage in the Spring Street and 12th Street, 12th Street adjacent to Marv’s Pizza, Alley between Pine Street and Railroad Street, and 12th Street and Railroad Street lots and affirm that there will not be any ability for the Police Department to enforce non-employees from parking in these parking lots.

4. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Analysis and Conclusions
This item was continued from the City Council’s December 17, 2025 meeting. The City Council requested the item return on the June 17, 2025 agenda for additional discussion after staff conducted additional outreach with downtown stakeholders.

The City owns, operates and maintains several public parking lots within the downtown area. Up until January 1, 2025, four of the City owned lots were designated for downtown employees with an applicable permit. Permit holders were granted exclusive access to the lots on a monthly or annual basis. The program was initially established prior to the implementation of paid on-street parking. The intent was to encourage employees to use designated lots, leaving on-street spaces available for customers. The police department could provide enforcement because the department maintained a list of permit holders and could cite users of the lots that did not have a permit.

Upon the termination of the on-street paid parking program, the City no longer had access to the technology that helped manage the employee permit program. Additionally, staff previously assigned to the management and operations of the downtown parking program were reassigned or left the organization. While permit signage still exists within the lots, there is no enforcement and there has not been issuance of any new permits. The legacy employee parking permit program essentially sunset on January 1, 2025. As of this time, no new permits are being issued, and no enforcement can occur within the lots as it relates to permits.

Previous City Council Discussions
The City Council discussed this item at its August 20, 2024, December 3, 2024 and December 17, 2024 meetings. Staff presented information on the ownership status of the parking lots, the feasibility of implementing a low-cost permit system to replace the existing system and an overview of enforcement challenges. A brief summary of each of these analysis areas are as follows:

Ownership of Parking Lots
The four designated employee parking lots are owned by the City. Based on an exhaustive review of available property title reports, there are no restrictions placed on the use of these lots. Title reports for all four lots were conducted, and no legal constraints were identified, confirming that the City has full authority over their use and management. These lots were originally acquired and maintained by the City prior to the establishment of the Business Improvement District (BID) or the assessments that downtown businesses now remit to support the Main Street Association. The lots were not initially part of the BID or any specific revenue-generating program. Given that these parking spaces are owned outright by the City and have no restrictions on their use, they are fully under the City’s discretion for any future changes in policy or management.

Low Cost Permitting System
Staff previously evaluated a low-cost decal program as a replacement for the existing employee parking program. The goal was to manage access to the same 98 designated parking spaces while minimizing the need for additional City staff.

Staff analyzed turnkey options and identified Data Ticket—a vendor capable of handling permit issuance, renewals, and employment verification—as a solution to streamline administration. Under the previous paid parking system, similar services were provided at no extra cost by the City’s payment vendor. The proposed Data Ticket program would similarly minimize staffing impacts.

Based on staff estimates, approximately 150 permits would be purchased annually at $30 each—half the current rate—generating about $4,500 in revenue. With an annual cost of $9,500 (plus fees), the program would require a General Fund subsidy of roughly $5,000, excluding enforcement and administrative expenses.

Staff previously recommended that a low-cost permit system not be pursued for several reasons, including that all on-street spaces are now first come, first-served, costs associated with facilitating the program will exceed program revenues, and the need to add enforcement resources (and associated costs) to ensure viability of the program.

Enforcement Challenges
Prior to expiration of the Employee Permit Parking Program, it lacked dedicated enforcement, relying solely on complaint-driven responses due to staffing limitations. Effective enforcement of a formal permit program would require hiring additional staff—either a part-time employee at $27,900 annually, which offers limited coverage, or a full-time employee at $122,400, which provides broader oversight but increases costs and supervisory needs. Additionally, the absence of on-street parking restrictions in the downtown area weakens enforcement efforts, allowing employees to park in most spaces without consequence.
30 Minute Parking Spots
The 30-minute parking spots were originally implemented to offer short-term, free on-street parking. The 30-minute spots are intended solely for the purpose of running a quick errand that will take 30 minutes or less. Examples of uses for these spots include food delivery drivers picking up food from a downtown restaurant, a vendor dropping merchandise off at a downtown business, or a patron purchasing a good from a local merchant. These spots are meant to encourage very frequent turnover so that more people can have a chance to park in convenient locations. Staff has observed that most people are voluntarily adhering to the 30-minute time limits associated with these spots. Staff is not recommending any change to the 30-minute parking spots.

Conclusions
Section 12.44.010 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code currently establishes an employee parking permit program for the downtown area and designates the City Manager to administer it. However, as detailed in this report, staff recommends the repeal of this section. All permits issued under the legacy program expired on January 1, 2025, and staff is not recommending a replacement low-cost permit program. As such, the existing code no longer reflects current parking policy or operational needs. Therefore, staff continues to recommend this section of the municipal code be deleted in its entirety.

Page 262 of 385 ends

Staff also recommends that the existing 30-minute parking spaces, which have proven effective in supporting short-term customer transactions, remain unchanged and continue to operate without additional enforcement. These spaces are important in maintaining convenient access for downtown patrons and supporting local businesses. No further action by the City Council is needed to retain the 30 minute spots.

If the City Council wishes to explore the addition of symbolic “Employee Preferred Parking” signage in City lots—as proposed by the Main Street Association—option 3 of this report provides a framework for that consideration. Even if this option is selected, staff still recommends repealing Section 12.44.010, as the signage does not constitute a formal permit program. Removing the section will provide clarity for all stakeholders regarding the City's current direction on this matter and will clean up obsolete municipal code language. Additionally, staff is requesting the City Council affirm for the record that the Police Department will not be able to cite individuals that park in these lots regardless of their status as a downtown employee or otherwise.

Lastly, the City Council has previously approved lighting and other improvements to the parking lots adjacent to Marv’s Pizza and at 12th and Railroad Street. A construction contract has been awarded by the City Council, with work scheduled to begin in late June 2025 and expected completion in fall 2025. If option 3 is selected, staff will work with the contractor to ensure updated signage is added in tandem with the project.

Fiscal Impact
The cost to eliminate the employee parking program is nominal. Most of the costs will include staff time and materials to remove existing signage and install new signage. Should the City Council approve option 3, the cost to install new “Employee Preferred Parking” signs will be negligible.

CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.

Recommendation (Option 2)
Approve second reading by title only and adopt Ordinance 1153 deleting Section 12.44.010 of the Paso Robles Municipal Code.

ORDINANCE NO. 1153 N.S.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES AMENDING CHAPTER 12.44.010 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF

EL PASO DE ROBLES REGARDING EMPLOYEE PARKING PERMITS
WHEREAS, the Downtown Employee Permit Parking Pilot Program was approved by the City Council on October 16, 2018, to provide a low-cost parking option for downtown business owners and employees; and
WHEREAS, the employee permit parking lots are located at Spring Street and 12th Street, 12th Street, adjacent to Marv’s Pizza, Alley between Pine Street and Railroad Street, 13th Street and 12th Street, and 12th Street and Railroad Street; and
WHEREAS, these City-owned lots collectively provide a total of 98 parking spaces; and WHEREAS, the program was initially established prior to the implementation of paid on-street parking; and
WHEREAS, the intent was to encourage employees to use designated lots, leaving on-street spaces available for customers.

WHEREAS, in May 2024, the City Council ended the paid, on-street parking program. Most on-street parking spaces within the downtown area are now first come, first served, without any time restrictions.

WHEREAS, on August 20, 2024, the City Council discussed and requested staff provide additional analysis on the employee parking permit program; and
WHEREAS, on December 3, 2024, the City Council determined that the employee permit parking program no longer meets its intended purpose and has elected to eliminate the program as of January 1, 2025, allowing all previously restricted employee parking lots to revert to first come, first served public parking lots.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council.

Section 2. Section 12.44.010 of the Municipal Code of the City of El Paso de Robles is hereby deleted in its entirety:

12.44.010 - Employee parking permits.

A. The city manager or designee may issue downtown employee parking permits with a term not to exceed one year subject to the requirements set forth in this subsection of this chapter and in administrative rules and regulations issued pursuant to this chapter.

B. A vehicle with a valid downtown employee parking permit shall be permitted to stand or be parked in an employee permit parking zone for which the permit has been issued. Any vehicle that has not been issued a valid parking permit shall be subject to the requirements and restrictions related to parking within the parking zones.

C. A downtown employee parking permit or any other permit as designated by the city manager shall not guarantee or reserve to the holder thereof a specific parking space within the designated permit parking zone.

D. This chapter shall not be interpreted or applied in a manner that shall abridge or alter regulations established by authority other than this chapter.

Section 3. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Under Section 15378(b)(2), continued administrative activities such as policy making are not CEQA projects. The amendments to Municipal Code Section 12.44.010 are policies adopted by the City Council to regulate employee

parking within City-owned parking lots. Additionally, pursuant to Section Attachment 1 15061(b)(3) CEQA does not apply to this amendment because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Section 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect 30 days after its passage and adoption as provided by Government Code section 36397.

Section 6. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance by the City Council of the City of El Paso de Robles, California, and cause the Ordinance to be published once within 15 days after passage in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City in accordance with Government Code section 36933.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for sending me the Paso Robles city staff's summary presentation of the Downtown Employee Parking Program.

The Board of Directors of the Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association (Main Street) as well as the Design & Economic Vitality Committee have both addressed this topic at our respective meetings and would like to include our input regarding the future of the lots and the signage, we would like to see replace the existing signage.

Speaking as the President of the Board of Directors of the Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association, which represents many of the businesses in the "Business Improvement District" (BID), we would like to see the "Employee Parking Lot Program" revised from its originally implemented permit parking program, and replaced with a much more cost effective program, that will benefit both the businesses and employees of the BID, as well as the general public, and the residents of Paso Robles.

We would like to see the "Employe Parking Lot Program" revised to be co-sponsored by the City of Paso Robles and the Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association (BID), with new signage that allow the lots to be used for both Public Parking as well as "Employee Preferred Parking".

The newly revised Employee Parking Lot Program is intended to function in a similar manner as the "30 Minute Spots" in that there is no dedicated parking enforcement, but rather the lots are open to the public and function on the honor system. These lots do not have a time limit, and are available to everyone.

We would like to see the existing "Permit Parking Only" signs removed and replaced with a few of the city's current "Public Parking" signs, as well as a few new signs, that read "Employee Preferred Parking".

If you've ever been to Home Depot, Lowes, or other local retail stores, you'll often find signage that reads "Online Purchase Parking" or "Veteran Parking", or "Employee of the Month Parking".

Attachment 2

Page 266 of 385 ends

These are examples of parking signs that rely on the public's own use of an honor system, and do not imply any Municiple code or mention any threats of enforcement or towing. We feel that by revising the Employee Parking Program to be a free community service program that works on the honor system, rather than a permit program with a fiscal impact to the city, it will help encourage business owners and managers to ask their employees to park in the lots when spaces are available.

We believe it is important to our downtown businesses, employees and our local residents that we do not completely abolish the "Employee Parking Lot Program" but rather implement a program that does not require city dollars to be spent on enforcement, while maintaining an honor system that demonstrates the good will of the City of Paso Robles and the Downtown Main Street Association to do our best to address employee parking in the downtown district, and provide signage that reads "Employee Preferred Parking".

If it is possible to include these comments and opinions as part of the "Stakeholder Outreach" portion of your presentation, I would appreciate it. I plan to attend the council meeting on June 17th, and address these comments to the council.

If you'd like to contact me, please feel free to reach out on my cell or reply to this email.

Thank you, Chris, for your time and your patience, and your consideration of this newly revised "Employee Parking Lot Program.

Council Agenda Report
From: Ryan Cornell, Administrative Services Director
Subject: Approval of Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Amendments, General Fund Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit), and Master Pay Schedule
CEQA Determination: The City find that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to St
Date: June 17, 2025
Facts

1. The City Council is required to adopt a comprehensive operating and capital expenditure budget in order to authorize the receipt of revenues and to authorize, guide and direct City activities no later than July 1, each year. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 and 2025-26 Operating and Capital Budget for all funds was approved by City Council on June 18, 2024.

2. As the City approaches the beginning of FY 2025-26, each department assessed their budget to see if any changes in appropriations were necessary for the upcoming fiscal year due to unanticipated items that have arisen since the adoption of the original budget. Additionally, some Council approved actions taken in FY 2024-25 also impacted budget appropriations for the upcoming year.

3. The FY 2024-25 Budget Update Report contains all projected revenues, appropriations and transfers, and shall be implemented by the City Manager per Council policies and direction.

4. The FY 2025-26 staffing authorization includes 314.44 full-time equivalent positions. The only changes from previously authorized is reclassifying one training coordinator position to a police corporal position, the removal of one emergency services coordinator, and the addition of one community action team police officer.

5. Article XIIIB of the State Constitution, added in November 1979 when voters approved Proposition 4, created a restriction on the amount of government revenue which may be appropriated in any fiscal year (commonly known as the “Gann Initiative”), and requires state and local governments to annually approve an appropriations limit.

6. The appropriations limit may be adjusted annually by a factor comprising the percentage change in population within the city or in the county, combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local property tax roll due to the addition of new non-residential construction. The data required to complete the calculation is provided by the State of California, Department of Finance.

7. CalPERS requires governing bodies of local agencies that contract with CalPERS for retirement benefits to approve and adopt a publicly available pay schedule in accordance with public meeting laws. The pay schedule (Exhibit A of Attachment 1) must identify each position by title, the individual pay rate amount or range for the position, and the time base upon which the pay amounts are calculated, and must be posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer’s website (pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5).

Options

1. Take no action;

2. Amend the FY 2025-26 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget, as originally adopted on June 18, 2024, in order to reflect changes in revenues and expenditures anticipated over the coming fiscal year; approve the appropriations limit of $70,160,625 for FY 2025-26, as required by Proposition 4; and approve the Master Pay Schedule;

3. Amend or modify the above options.

Analysis and Conclusions
The purpose of this report is to update the FY 2025-26 budget appropriations based on updated information; this is not a full budget report but rather an update to the report approved by City Council in June 2024. This update includes both estimated revenues and appropriated expenses for all funds and capital improvement projects. See Attachment No. 3 for further detail.

Fiscal Impact
The total appropriations for FY 2024-25 are $143,579,600, a decrease of approximately $11,846,500 when compared to the originally adopted budget. The reason for the large decrease is due to pausing pursuit of the Recycled Water Distribution project until market conditions are more favorable. There is no fiscal impact regarding the appropriations limit; the City’s proceeds from taxes and expenditures continue to be below the allowable limit. The appropriations limit is $70,160,625 while the total City appropriations subject to the limit is $59,915,000 which is approximately 85.4% of the limit.

CEQA
The City find that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.

Recommendation

1. Approve Resolution 25-XXX(A), amending the Operating and Capital Improvement Budget, Authorized Position Listing and Revised Master Pay Schedule for fiscal year 2025-26, as presented, and direct the City Manager to implement the budget.

2. Approve Resolution 25-XXX(B), approving the appropriations limit of $70,160,625 for fiscal year 2025-

CITY OF EL PASO DE ROBLES
“The Pass of the Oaks”
1000 SPRING STREET • PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA 93446
June 17, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
I am pleased to present the mid-budget cycle update for your review and consideration. Although the budget is formally adopted at a point-in-time, it remains an evolving planning document that needs to be amended throughout the year. Amendments are necessary to recognize changes to revenue streams, the regulatory environment, and the broader economic outlook. These factors are balanced against policy decisions made by City Council, shifting needs of departments to meet community needs, and unforeseen items that arise after the budget is adopted. This document provides a summary of proposed changes to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 budget as compared to the plan the City Council approved one year ago.

Overall, the proposed changes to the FY 2025–26 budget are modest and reflect a local economy that remains stable, though exhibiting less growth than in recent years. The City’s three largest revenue sources—sales tax, property tax, and transient occupancy tax—are projected to remain relatively flat for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Looking ahead to FY 2025–26, total General Fund revenues are forecasted at approximately $51.2 million, representing an increase of one percent.

At the same time, expenditures and capital project costs continue to face upward pressure, further complicated by the potential fiscal impacts of emerging federal tariffs. Additionally, the Spring 2025 U.S.

Economic Outlook from Beacon Economics has increased the likelihood of a national recession within the next 12 months.

Given these conditions, City staff remains focused on maximizing the efficient use of available taxpayer resources while continuing to deliver high-quality services to the community. The proposed FY 2025–26 budget and accompanying recommendations reflect this approach, balancing fiscal prudence with a commitment to operational excellence.

As part of the goal setting session in March 2024, the City Council adopted new “SMART” goals: those that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. This reformatted structure provides the City Council and public with a more comprehensive understanding of what specifically City staff has achieved over the past year and what staff seeks to achieve for the upcoming year. The status of each goal is presented immediately following this budget message.

The following are some key issues and highlights within the budget:

Supplemental Sales Tax Measure J-20/Measure I-24
Measure J-20, a one-cent local sales tax, remains a significant and important resource for the City. The entire amount of revenue generated from J-20 is retained by the City and funds three City Council spending priorities: police, fire and roads. Over the next fiscal year, this funding will continue to maintain staffing and service levels across the public safety departments. This includes the operation of Fire Station No. 3 and funding for 30 police positions and 22 fire department positions (inclusive of positions proposed to be added in FY 2025-26). Since its passage by voters in 2020, over $10 million has been allocated toward road repair work and helps fund five street maintenance staff members. Measure J-20 has allowed the 1 Attachment 3

Page 290 of 385 ends

City to greatly enhance its public safety services, ensuring the City remains a vibrant, safe, and welcoming community.

In FY 2025-26, Measure J-20 is proposed to fund seven new public safety positions: three firefighters, three fire engineers, and one Community Action Team police officer. The previously authorized Emergency Services Coordinator position is being deferred to a future fiscal year.

The six new Fire and Emergency Services positions will allow the City to reinstate its dedicated paramedic squad—a specialized emergency response unit staffed by paramedics and equipped with advanced life support capabilities. Originally deployed in 2019, the squad was later reallocated to a traditional fire crew when Fire Station No. 3 was brought online.

Reactivating the paramedic squad will enhance emergency medical response capabilities while improving operational efficiency. By responding to lower-acuity calls with the appropriately sized unit, the City can reduce the need to dispatch a full-size fire engine for incidents that do not require a fire truck, thereby preserving critical resources and improving overall system readiness.

In 2019, the City Council formally approved the creation of the Community Action Team (CAT). The CAT aims to address community issues, such as homelessness, by fostering collaboration, identifying problems, and implementing solutions, focusing on crime prevention, quality of life, and social services, with a goal of improving the well-being of residents. Adding a fourth officer to the CAT will enable these specialized police services to be conducted on a seven day per week basis.

Although Measure J-20 is currently providing the City with vital resources to fund critical services, it is important to recognize that the measure includes a sunset provision set to expire in 2032. While that may seem far off, there are only two presidential elections between now and then—limited opportunities for voter engagement on this issue. As such, it is essential for the City Council to consider future discussions about how the City will address the eventual expiration of Measure J-20 and whether a potential renewal should be brought before voters.

With the passage of Measure I-24 this past November—extending the voter-approved Measure E-12 ½- cent sales tax—the City is continuing its commitment to accelerating local road repairs and improving street conditions throughout the community. In support of this priority, a new Road Maintenance Plan (“the Plan”) must be developed and approved, identifying a list of street segments targeted for repair and rehabilitation.

To ensure the Plan reflects both community expectations and industry best practices, staff recommends two key changes to how it is developed and implemented moving forward.

First, it is recommended that the Plan be formally integrated into the City’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), aligning it with the City’s overall infrastructure planning framework. This approach not only reflects customary municipal budgeting principles but also reflects voters removing the sunset clause in Measure I-24. This allows for a long-term, sustained investment in local streets. Incorporating road maintenance into the CIP allows the Plan to remain “fluid,” similar to the City’s annual budget, and adaptable to shifting priorities, such as unexpected pavement conditions or newly identified high-priority areas.

Second, staff recommends allocating funding across distinct project phases—such as preliminary design, final design, and construction—rather than waiting to appropriate the full cost of a project in a single year. 2 Attachment 3

Page 291 of 385 ends

For example, a project could receive $50,000 in Year 1 for design work, followed by $500,000 in Year 2 for construction, instead of requiring the full $550,000 to be available upfront.

This phased funding strategy creates a continuous, efficient cycle in which projects are always progressing—either in the design or construction phase—rather than stalling while awaiting full funding.

It ensures that new projects can enter the pipeline each year, accelerating delivery timelines, improving cost management, and ultimately getting road repairs completed faster and more efficiently.

Looking ahead, staff will engage the City Council and the public in developing the new Road Maintenance Plan, with the goal of formal adoption in June 2026.

Staffing and Labor Overview
Funding for all currently and previously authorized positions are included in the proposed budget. For FY 2025-26, staff recommends adding ten new positions: three firefighters and three fire engineers (i.e., the Paramedic Squad); one community action team police officer; one airport technician; and two water maintenance specialists. It should be noted that all additional positions recommended are to be funded by either the Measure J-20 Fund, Airport Fund, or the Water Fund. In other words, no additional general funded positions are being added in FY 2025-26. Upon adoption, the budget will increase the City’s fulltime equivalent (FTE) count to 314.44 for FY 2025-26.

The City Council ratified labor agreements with all three labor groups in 2023 for a three-year period, expiring in December 2025. One of the objectives of the agreements was to ensure the City remained fiscally competitive for the recruitment and retention of all positions. Since then, the City has authorized 35 additional FTE positions, representing a 12.5% increase to the City's overall staffing complement.

The City contracted with an outside firm to conduct a Classification and Compensation Study in 2023. A classification and compensation system—which defines the types of jobs in an organization and how much those types of jobs will pay—is the framework organizations set up to make sure job classifications and employees’ compensation is fair, strategic, and competitive within a given market. This project is near completion and anticipates the results to be presented to City Council in June 2025. The City and labor groups are expected to begin negotiations on new labor agreements toward summer 2025 and as such, staff will be bringing forward recommendations from the study to make adjustments to the structure of the City’s classification system, as well as compensation adjustments for selected positions based on a detailed market analysis and fiscal capacity in the upcoming year.

Updated General Fund Reserves/One-Time Funding Availability The City Council prioritizes fiscal health by “living within our means.” As such, the City has adopted comprehensive fiscal policies, including a rainy-day reserve requirement, to help mitigate unforeseen events and provide an initial buffer against significant or sudden revenue declines. The City’s Fiscal Policy states “the City shall maintain unrestricted reserves of no less than 30% of the 10-year revenue trend.” The unrestricted reserves of the General Fund as of June 30, 2025 is projected to be $17.1 million, or 34 percent of revenues, exceeding minimum reserves by approximately $2.1 million. Amounts that exceed the reserve policy level can be utilized for one-time capital projects. As contained within this budget, it is proposed that reserves above the City Council policy level be used to address deferred maintenance capital needs of the City. These are one-time expenditures that are predominately intended to extend the life and usefulness of City facilities through addressing basic maintenance issues that have been deferred or not fully addressed in prior fiscal years. As a result, the reserve levels will be taken down to the 30 3 Attachment 3

percent policy level. The remaining reserves are only to be used during a fiscal emergency or disaster type of event.

The City also maintains a Section 115 trust, which was established to prefund the City’s pension costs. This trust is controlled by the City and the funds can only be used to pay CalPERS for pension-related costs.

These funds are separate and distinct from the City’s rainy-day fund. The Section 115 trust serves as an additional source of pension contribution funds during challenging economic or budgetary periods. The balance of the City’s Section 115 trust is approximately $11.2 million. Staff is not proposing to utilize any of these funds as part of this budget cycle. However, if economic conditions deteriorate or other budgetary constraints emerge, this funding can be used to temporarily offset the City’s ongoing pension payments to CalPERS.

Capital Improvements
Project summaries of each funded project are located in the Capital Outlay section of this document. Key projects to highlight are as follows:

Road Repair and Maintenance
As stated above, with the passage of Measure I-24 this past November, the City is continuing its commitment to accelerating local road repairs and improving street conditions throughout the community. In support of this priority, a new Road Maintenance Plan will be developed and reviewed by City Council in the upcoming year. In the meantime, staff continues to focus on completing the previously approved street maintenance projects. As such, the following road segments are planned to be repaired and rehabilitated, either designed or constructed, in the upcoming year, is as follows:
• Riverside, from 17th to 24th Streets
• Sherwood, Sierra Bonita, Turtle Creek neighborhoods
• Sunset, Fairview, and Panorama neighborhood
• Melody Drive (east neighborhood)
• 13th Street and Niblick Bridge Deck Resurfacing
• Creston Road (Phase 2)
• Arciero Court/Mesa Road-area
• Dallons/Tractor-area
South Vine Street Bridge
The Paso Robles Gateway Annexation project is located northwest of the intersection of Highway 101 and Highway 46 West and includes the development of two hotels with 325 rooms, three commercial centers with approximately 75,600 square feet of space, a 30,000 square-foot conference center, 17 workforce residential units, and up to 80 resort residential units or a third hotel with 100 rooms. On August 2, 2016, City Council approved a Settlement Agreement with the Gateway developers which, among other things, requires the realignment of South Vine Street with Theatre Drive. This involves not only the construction of a new road, but also the construction of a bridge in order to connect to Highway 46 West. The project is currently out-to-bid, with City Council award anticipated in Fall 2025, with construction beginning shortly thereafter.

Sherwood Park Sports Fields
On May 20, 2025, City Council received a report on sports field capacity throughout the City, with emphasis on those involving youth sports. Currently, the City manages sixteen athletic fields shared among youth leagues, adult recreation leagues, school programs, and public unpermitted use (i.e., “drop4 Attachment 3

in games”). According to the 2024 National Reaction and Parks Association standards for outdoor park and recreation facilities, the City would need to add four additional fields to adequately meet the needs of our current City population. To compensate for the current shortfall, several fields are being utilized beyond their intended design. For example, softball and baseball outfields are being repurposed to accommodate youth football, cheerleading, and soccer activities.

At that meeting, City Council directed staff to implement short-term strategies to alleviate the immediate need for sports field capacity. Based on feedback from user groups and in alignment with long-term planning efforts, staff have identified the following short-term recommendations to enhance the City’s recreational infrastructure. Implementing these short-term solutions will more immediately address critical capacity and maintenance issues, while allowing adequate time to develop and implement longterm strategies effectively:
• Install Sport Install Sports Field Lighting at Sherwood Park: Adding lights to the two existing soccer fields and two baseball fields at Sherwood Park would significantly increase field availability— potentially adding up to 56.25 additional hours of use per week. This project is eligible for funding through development impact fees. While a detailed cost estimate is still required, preliminary estimates place the total project cost between $1 million and $1.5 million. • Renovate Sports Field Turf at Sherwood Park: The condition of the soccer fields and outfields at Sherwood Park has deteriorated due to extensive gopher activity and outdated infrastructure.

While minor turf repairs are planned for June, including a volunteer-led field day, substantial improvements are necessary to restore playability. A full renovation would involve turf replacement and a complete overhaul of the irrigation system. As this project does not expand field capacity, it is not eligible for funding through development impact fees. Preliminary costs are estimated at $1 million to $1.5 million, excluding needed renovations to associated park amenities such as dugouts, the concession stand, scoring booth, basketball and tennis courts, and the parking lot.

North River Bike and Pedestrian Trail
In 2018, the City Council adopted the 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP). BPMP’s is the guiding policy document that establishes local priorities for bicycle and pedestrian improvements. The 2018 BPMP also places a strong focus on bike and pedestrian safety and education. Safe facilities and proper training programs would encourage users to enjoy the benefits of bicycling and walking to their destinations.

This project constructs the next segment of the City pedestrian and bike ring pathway, located along the scenic Salinas River, beginning at the 13th Street Bridge and ending at River Oaks Drive, just north of the highway 46 bridge. The project will also provide a safer connection to the downtown area for residents who live north of Highway 46 East and separate non-motorists from traffic. Preliminary design, environmental documents, etc. has been funded, in part, by a SLOCOG grant, with an additional $2.0 million anticipated for construction. The City has already set aside $1 million towards the City's matching requirement.

Riverwalk Trail Lighting
In February 2013, the City opened the Salinas Riverwalk Trail extending from Union and North River to Larry Moore Park. The trail featured both ground level and bollard lighting designed to illuminate the path for the enjoyment of both residents and visitors. The Salinas Riverwalk Trail is one of the first sections of a planned 30-mile river trail extending from Santa Margarita in the south to San Miguel in the north. The 5 Attachment 3

Page 294 of 385 ends

current trail section can be accessed at several points including Union Road and North River, the Navajo and Riverbank neighborhoods and Larry Moore Park.

Unfortunately, immediately following opening, it became apparent that the specified lighting was not appropriate for trail conditions. Maintenance and replacement efforts over the past 11 years have not been successful. This project is intended to design and install new trail lighting that is appropriate for the conditions in order to mitigate safety concerns and encourage community recreational use. When the lighting is improved, the trail will be a viable connector to future trail segments, create an attractive recreational opportunity, support public safety and improve community quality of life. Funding comes from developer impact fees as well as a $100,000 contribution from the Rec Foundation.

City Hall Remodel
The City Hall/Library building was opened in 1995 and is comprised of approximately 28,680 gross square feet including an 18,000 square foot library on the ground floor and 10,000 square foot City Hall on the second floor. Although adjustments have been made to cubicle configuration and storage areas, the City Hall offices have not been remodeled in nearly 29 years.

A combination of growth in staffing, changes in service delivery models, and the need to implement modern security elements have proven a need for more staff workspace, an additional meeting area, and upgraded facility security. Optimizing the currently unused space and standardizing what is currently being used to maximize capacity is desired. The remodeling scope includes new office cubicles and chairs that standardize space allocations and increase the number of workspaces; one additional conference area in a public access area; security upgrades including electronic keying, public counter with secure gate, and creation of a safe room; new wallcoverings and paint; new carpet and resilient flooring.

On August 20, 2024, City Council approved a design contract to Ten Over Studio Inc. Design is wrapping up and construction/remodel is scheduled to occur between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Final Note
In conclusion, I want to extend my sincere thanks to the City Council for your continued leadership and dedication to the well-being of our community. I would also like to express my appreciation to City staff for their ongoing commitment to providing high-quality services to our residents. While the current economy is not as robust as it was a few years ago, the City remains in a stable fiscal position, wellprepared to navigate a period of slow or limited revenue growth. Through prudent planning and strong stewardship, we are well-positioned to maintain essential services for our community. ____________________
