In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly. The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies, which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 9.B.

DATE: JULY 21, 2026
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Heba El-Guindy, Public Works Director, [email protected] SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution to approve the list of City projects to be partially or fully funded in Fiscal Year 2026/27 by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

BACKGROUND
In April 2017, the California Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1): The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017). SB 1 provides additional gas tax funding to State and local agencies to address significant multi-modal transportation infrastructure funding shortfalls.

The City of Pinole will continue to use gas tax funds for road rehabilitation and maintenance including crack sealing, pothole patching, sidewalks, signage, pavement markings, traffic signals, and streetlights. SB 1 funds will be used for road rehabilitation to extend the life of the pavement as intended by the SB 1 funding program. The City expects to receive $532,760 in RMRA (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account) and $555,038 of User Tax funds in FY 2026/27. Previously accumulated Gas Tax funds, Measure J, and Vehicle Impact Fees also contribute to funding road maintenance and rehabilitation.

It is required that cities and counties provide detailed information annually about the projects funded by SB 1. The details include project name, description, location, budget amount, completion date, and the useful life of the project. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27, this information must be submitted to the California Transportation Commission by July 23, 2026.

The City is responsible for the maintenance and repair of approximately 52.02 centerline miles of streets, which are defined in 351 pavement sections. The City’s arterial and residential roadways are maintained and rehabilitated using various pavement treatments. The City participates in the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Pavement Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP), which provides grant funding to utilize a pavement management program (PMP) software called StreetSaver to evaluate the pavement network and provides funding for a consultant to prepare a P-TAP Pavement Management Report.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The PTAP-22 Pavement Management Report was completed and presented to City Council on April 18, 2023. The report was prepared for the City by AMS Consulting based on an inspection of the 351 pavement sections in Pinole. The data collected in the field was imported into the StreetSaver database, which generated a scoring of the condition of each street section. This score is known as the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and is based on a scale of 0-100, with PCI 0 indicating failed pavement condition while PCI 100 indicating perfect road condition. Each road section within Pinole received a PCI score. The average citywide PCI was estimated at 55. It should be noted that the next P-TAP is expected to be carried out in late 2026.

The StreetSaver software assists in identifying where to invest limited road maintenance funds in order to achieve the best return on investment in terms of improving the overall PCI. This computer model uses a “fix it first” approach to recommend which segments of the road system should be targeted for treatment based on different spending levels. Constrained spending, as experienced in Pinole, results in selecting roads that do not require reconstruction.

The City must adopt by Resolution a list of projects proposed to receive funding from FY 2026/27 RMRA, created by SB 1. Per recent directions of the California Transportation Commission, new road projects as well as all projects previously submitted by the City and listed in the CalSMART database must be reflected in the Resolution.

The following is a list of newly proposed projects that will be funded in-part or solely with FY 2026/27 RMRA Revenues:

MEASURE D

CITY OF PINOLE
Shall the electors elect a mayor and four city council members?

MEASURE E
Shall the term of office of mayor be two years?

MEASURE F
Shall the term of office of mayor be four years?
CITY ATTORNEY’S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF

MEASURES D, E, F
There are five City Council Members in the City of Pinole. Currently, one of the five Council Members serves as Mayor, who is selected by a majority vote of the Council. The appointed Mayor position rotates annually. This procedure is authorized by Government Code Section 36801.

However, upon a majority vote of the citizens of a city on a ballot measure, there can be a direct election of the mayor by voters pursuant to Government Code Sections 34900 - 34906. A mayor elected by the voters is a member of the city council and has all the powers and duties of a member of the City Council. A mayor elected by the voters has the same powers as a mayor selected by a vote of the City Council.

Government Code § 34903.

There are three questions on the ballot relating to the election of Mayor in the City of Pinole: (1) Shall the electors elect a Mayor and four Council Members? Yes or No. (2) Shall the term of office of mayor be two years? Yes or No. (3) Shall the term of office of mayor be four years? Yes or No. Voters may vote on one, two or all three of these questions. The first question asks whether the voters shall elect the Mayor and four Council Members. Since the Council Members in Pinole are currently elected by the voters, the only change if the first question is passed would be to provide for the Mayor to be elected by the voters rather than selected by the City Council. If the first question receives a majority of yes votes at the election, then the term of the Mayor, two years or four years, shall be that preferred by a majority of those voting on the questions.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF

MEASURE D
No Argument In Favor was filed.

ARGUMENT AGAINST

MEASURE D
Pinole does not need a mayor with executive authority, especially at greater financial cost.

Pinole’s current mayoral process involves rotating an elected Council member in their third or fourth year of the term into the mayor position for one year. Four out of five Council members will serve as the mayor during their term. This fair and efficient process is used by more than 300 of the 482 cities in California.

Voters elect, at large, Pinole’s five Council members for a four-year term. They work together to serve our community. Why consolidate that power into one person? The Council majority commented that the salary discussion would occur “later” and Council has the power to raise that salary at any time.

Is this actually a move by a Pinole Council member to grab power and more money?
Pinole voters approved Measure I, to help cover the cost of public safety and road improvements, not to add a mayor’s salary to our City budget that is already stretched.

What will be defunded to pay for the mayor’s salary - our police department, road repairs, or park maintenance? Money for mayor compensation will not magically appear.

Pinole residents are already burdened with the cost of living: rents, mortgages, higher health insurance premiums, home insurance, gas prices, food costs. Are we to now pay one-time costs for a Ballot Measure costing up to $57,000 plus on-going costs of a mayor’s salary if voters approve?
This is an example of misplaced priorities for our City and should be defeated. This proposal is a solution to a problem that does not exist.

Stop more excessive spending. Stop the power grab.

No on Measure D.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 10.A.

DATE: JULY 21, 2026
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Heba El-Guindy, Public Works Director, [email protected] SUBJECT: CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE ENGINEER’S REPORT CONTAINING THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS

FOR THE PINOLE VALLEY ROAD LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27, AND ORDER LEVY

AND COLLECTION OF THE ASSESSMENTS

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment A) to approve the Engineer’s Report (Attachment B) containing the annual assessments for the Pinole Valley Road Landscape and Lighting Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026/27, and to order the assessment amounts to be submitted to the Contra Costa County Assessor for placement on the secured property tax roll for collection.

BACKGROUND
On July 8, 2008, the City Council adopted Resolution 2008-91 forming the Pinole Valley Road Landscape and Lighting Assessment District (District), ordering maintenance work therein, confirming the District diagram and assessment, and providing for the levy of annual assessments. The City has installed improvements within the District on Pinole Valley Road between Henry Avenue and Ramona Street. The purpose of the District is to provide a stable funding source for the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the following:
• Traffic signals
• Streetlights
• Landscaping and irrigation
• Graffiti and debris removal
• Utilities supplied to the traffic signals, streetlights, and irrigation system On June 2, 2026, the City Council ordered and received the Engineer’s Report containing the annual assessments for the Pinole Valley Road Landscape and Lighting Assessment District (District) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The City Council must take actions each year to levy and collect the assessments for the

District. It is proposed that the City Council take action on the following list at this meeting.

These actions will be accomplished by adopting the attached Resolution.

1. Declare intention to conduct a Public Hearing concerning the levy of assessments.

2. Approve the Engineer’s Annual Assessment Report (Attachment B).

3. Declare intention to levy and collect assessments.

4. Announce increase in the maximum assessments.

5. Conduct a Public Hearing.

6. Approve the assessment amounts for FY 2026/27.

7. Order the assessment amounts to be submitted to the Contra Costa County Assessor on, or before August 10, 2026, for placement on the secured property tax roll for collection.

The Pinole Valley Road Landscape and Lighting Assessment District contains two commercial zones, Zone A north of Interstate 80 (I-80) and Zone B south of I-80. The assessment rates for FY 2026/27 for Zone A and Zone B are proposed to be increased from the previous year. The proposed rates for FY 2026/27 are $588.87 per Assessment Unit (AU) for Zone A (an increase of $21.55 from FY 2025/26) and $640.67 per AU for Zone B (an increase of $23.45 from FY 2025/26). An AU is equivalent to an acre of developable property. The proposed assessment represents an annual inflation rate for each of Zone A and Zone B to reflect the increase in maintenance and servicing costs.

Each fiscal year, the greater of the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) or a 2% is applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate from the previous year. The April 2026 CPI is 3.8%, therefore

3.8% was applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate of FY 2025/26. The Maximum Assessment Rate per unit in FY 2026/27 becomes $699.96 per AU for Zone A, and $660.80 per AU for Zone B. As the proposed rates are below the Maximum Assessment Rates, the City is not required to undertake the more comprehensive procedural notice and protest requirements of Proposition 218. A public hearing, however, will allow property owners subject to the assessment the opportunity to provide comments. Notice of the public hearing was published in the manner required by applicable law.

Staff would like to note that the attached Assessment Report was prepared to be consistent with analysis carried out in past years. There have been limited infrastructure improvements for a few years due to the increased costs relative to the available funds. However, the current fund balance including capital replacement balance will allow capital improvements in FY 2026/27.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed assessments for the assessable parcels within the District for Fiscal Year 2026/27 are $588.87 per Assessment Unit (AU) for Zone A and $640.67 per AU for Zone B.

The total District revenue is expected to be $63,059.41.

Engineer’s Report FY 2026/27
Page | 2

INTRODUCTION
The City of Pinole (the “City”), under the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”) and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D (the “Constitution”), annually levies and collects special assessments from the City’s maintenance assessment district designated as:

Pinole Valley Road Landscape and Lighting Assessment District (the “District”) to provide and maintain various public landscaping and lighting improvements that provide special benefits to properties within the District.

The City Council formed the District and provided for the levy and collection of annual assessments to provide ongoing funding for costs and expenses required to service and maintain the landscaping and lighting improvements within the boundaries of the District.

The improvements to be provided by the District assessments described herein are made pursuant to the 1972 Act and the substantive and procedural provision of the Constitution.

As part of the District formation, the City of Pinole conducted a Property Owner Protest Ballot proceeding for the proposed levy of a new assessment pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution. In conjunction with this ballot proceeding, the City Council conducted a noticed public hearing to consider public testimonies, comments, and written protests regarding the formation of the District and levy of assessments. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, property owner assessment ballots received were opened and tabulated.

The property owner assessment ballot tabulation resulted in a majority approval of the District and assessments of the property owners within the District. The District was formed on July 1, 2008, by Resolution no. 2008-91. The District is located on Pinole Valley Road and consists of two separate zones: Zone A and Zone B.

This Engineer’s Report (the “Report”) has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 and Chapter 3 of the 1972 Act, and outlines the improvements, and proposed assessments to be levied in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from maintenance and servicing of landscaping and lighting improvements within the District for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individualproperty assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office.

The Contra County Auditor/Controller APN and specific fund numbers to identify properties to be assessed for the District assessments.

SECTION I – PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT AND

BOUNDARIES
The District consists of two separate zones and is located on Pinole Valley Road, between Henry Avenue and Ramona Street. Zone A is to the north of Interstate 80 (I-80) and Zone B is to the south of I-80. Currently, there are a total of 18 commercial parcels within the District, 8 parcels in Zone A and 10 parcels in Zone B.

The number of parcels changed over the years. In FY 2011/12, the number of parcels in Zone A was reduced from 8 to 6 and was reduced in Zone B from 16 to 15 parcels, due to parcel mergers. An annexation occurred in Zone A in FY 2013/14, increasing the parcel count for that Zone to 7 and the Assessable Units (“AU”) to 52.972. In FY 2018/19, one parcel was split into two with a slight size reduction, decreasing the AU to 52.796. The number of parcels in Zone B was also reduced from 15 to 10 due to parcel mergers/changes in FY 2013/14 and FY 2014/15. A clerical error was brought to the City’s attention in December 2019 which has been transcribed over time and resulted in a higher AU in Zone B. In FY 2020/21, the clerical error was corrected resulting in a lower AU in Zone B.

Please refer to Section V of this Report, Assessment Roll, for details.

SECTION II – METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The 1972 Act allows for the establishment of assessment districts by public agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements as detailed in Section I of this Report.

The 1972 Act also requires that the cost of these improvements and services be assessed based on benefit received rather than by assessed value of the properties being assessed.

In accordance with the 1972 Act, Section 22573:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements”
The method of apportionment approved by the City Council is consistent with the 1972 Act and the California Constitution for the allocation of special benefit assessments. The calculation of assessments is based upon the parcel type and the services and improvements provided.

DESCRIPTION OF BENEFIT
Special Benefit
The improvements and associated costs have been allocated to the assessable parcels within the District based upon the special benefit received by those properties, pursuant to the provisions of the 1972 Act. The improvements for which the properties are assessed have been identified as necessary and were approved by the property owners within the District through Proposition 218 assessment ballot procedure and are in compliance with the development plans and General Plan of the City. As such, the improvements and continuing maintenance and services are strictly funded by the properties within the District.

General Benefit
Although the improvements may be visible to passersby or to the public at large, the improvements were installed after approval from the property owners and are for the benefit of properties within the District. It has been determined therefore, any access to or use by properties or individuals outside of the District is incidental and the costs of operating, maintaining, and servicing said improvements provide no measurable benefit to said outside properties or individuals.

Pinole Valley LLAD
Engineer’s Report FY 2026/27
Page | 6
Definition of Special Benefit
The method of apportionment described in this Report is based on the premise that each assessable parcel or unit receives distinct and special benefits from the improvements and services provided, including the visual desirability provided by well-maintained landscaping and other improvements identified in Zones A and B. In accordance with Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution:
“Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or the public at large” The special benefits associated with local landscape and lighting improvements are:
• Enhanced desirability of properties due to proximity of the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal provided by a positive representation of the community. • Improved ingress and egress to property resulting in enhanced traffic flow. • Improved traffic visibility and circulation.
• Improved accessibility for emergency vehicles.
• Reduced vandalism and other criminal activity.
• Enhanced environmental quality provided by adequate green space and other landscaping which helps moderate temperatures, reduce noise pollution and control dust and debris.

ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
It is generally recognized that most budgetary items are impacted by inflation over the years. In accordance with the California Constitution, and Government Section 53739 (b) (1), assessments “may be adjusted for inflation pursuant to a clearly defined formula…” A formula for an inflationary adjustment is therefore included as part of the maximum assessment for this District and was approved by the property owner(s) at the time of formation. The formula, as described below, allows for annual adjustments to the budget and the assessments.

Generally, any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law, the Government Code excludes certain conditions of a new or increased assessment. These conditions include:
“An assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously specified in the notice given to the public…and that was previously adopted by the agency…”
The initial maximum assessment for the District was established at the time of formation and was assessed for the first time during FY 2008/09. The initial maximum assessment for Zone A was $415.52 per AU. The initial maximum assessment for Zone B was $390.80 per AU. The initial maximum assessment for each Zone has been adjusted each subsequent fiscal year by the following Assessment Range Formula:

Pinole Valley LLAD
Engineer’s Report FY 2026/27
Page | 7
•The Maximum Assessment Rate allowed each fiscal year (the “Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate”) shall be based on the initial maximum assessment established in FY 2008/09, adjusted annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for the month of April, All Urban Consumers, (“CPI”) for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area or two percent (2%), whichever is greater.

Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City reserves the right to use such a revised index or a comparable system to determine fluctuations in the annual cost of living. •Each fiscal year, the greater of the annual CPI or a 2%, shall be applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate established the previous fiscal year to calculate the appropriate Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for the current fiscal year. • If the proposed annual assessment rate (assessment per AU) for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate established for that fiscal year, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.

Beginning in the second fiscal year after the formation of the District (FY 2009/10) and each fiscal year since, the Maximum Assessment Rate has been recalculated, and a new Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate has been established for each fiscal year using the Assessment Range Formula described above. Each fiscal year, the greater of CPI or 2% is applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate from last year. The April 2026 CPI is 3.8%, which is greater than 2%, therefore 3.8% will be applied to the Maximum Assessment Rate from the last year. The Zone A Maximum Assessment Rate for FY 2026/27 therefore, shall be $699.97 per AU. The Zone B Maximum Assessment Rate for FY 2026/27 shall be $660.80 per AU. The table below shows the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for each Zone, for each fiscal year since the formation of the District. The Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rates have been calculated independently of the annual budget and proposed assessment rate for the given fiscal year. As stated above, if the proposed annual assessment for any fiscal year does not exceed the Adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate for that year, it is not considered to be an increased assessment under the terms of Proposition 218 or the Government Code.

To impose a new assessment or an increased assessment in excess of the Maximum Assessment Rate for the current fiscal year, as provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4c that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of a public hearing and property owner protestballoting. Property owners must approve the proposed new or increased assessment via a property owner protest ballot process before any such new or increased assessment can be imposed.

The definition of new or increased assessments includes any assessment which, 1) did not previously exist or, 2) exceeds a previously approved assessment amount or assessment range formula. Any assessment range formula must have been previously adopted by the agency and approved by the property owners.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The benefit formula used to determine the financial obligation for each parcel is based on the improvements benefiting the parcels, as well as the use, or type of each parcel as compared to other parcels that benefit from said improvements. One of the more common approaches to fairly distribute District costs to the benefiting parcels in maintenance districts such as this utilizes a methodology referred to as the Assessment Unit (“AU”) method of apportionment. This methodology utilizes various property characteristics such as development status, type of development (land-use) and size (units or acreage) to compare the proportional benefit of each property compared to similar properties benefiting from the improvements.

The District is comprised of one parcel type: Commercial. Each commercial parcel receives similar benefit from the improvements due to the relative size of the properties, the specific improvements and proximity of the improvements to the properties. It has been determined that the buildable acreage of each parcel is an appropriate basis in calculating the total AU for that parcel. The individual commercial parcel, acreage is multiplied by a factor of 4.00 to determine the total AU for that parcel. The total Zone AU is then divided into the “Total Balance to Assessment” (as shown in Section III of this Report) to determine the annual assessment rate. The AU for each parcel is then multiplied by the annual assessment rate to determine the annual assessment for each parcel.

SECTION III – ZONE BUDGETS
The estimated budget for the annual maintenance and servicing of the improvements and the proportionate share of administration costs for each Zone have been prepared based on the estimated and recent historical costs of providing said maintenance and services.

1 Capital Replacement Account (CRA) – This line item, shown on the budget page for each Zone, is specifically intended for the use in replacing the lighting poles for streetlights and traffic signals within the District. There are two reasons to consider the replacement of lighting poles. First, there is a finite life span of a standard lighting pole, which is approximately 50 years. Secondly, there must be a contingency plan in place for the possibility that a lighting pole gets damaged or knocked down, either by way of accident or by natural disaster. The current replacement cost of light and pole is estimated at $15,875.00 for materials and $4,125.00 for installation for a total of $20,000.

The estimated cost to replace all streetlight poles after 50 years, as well as a contingency to account for the possibility of a knockdown, accident, or natural disaster is shown below:

$20,000.00 per light pole x 22 poles = $440,000/50 years = $8,800 + $1,936 for Contingency = $10,736 annually. * Rounded to the nearest $100’s.

The replacement costs will continue to be collected through the assessment amounts as part of the Capital Replacement Fund, as shown in the District Budgets.

DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
 Building-Structure-Maintenance – Includes all regularly scheduled labor, material, and equipment required to properly maintain the landscaping improvements, traffic signals, streetlights, poles, and irrigation system. Also includes the cost of:
o Traffic signal maintenance which is provided by California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Contra Costa County Public Works. o Landscaping maintenance services provided by Pacific Site Management. o Replacement bulbs/luminaires for traffic signals and streetlights. o Weed control and graffiti abatement.
 Water – Includes the cost of furnishing water required for the proper maintenance of the landscaping.
 Electricity and Power – Includes the cost of furnishing electrical energy required for the proper operation of traffic signals, streetlights, and irrigation system.

 Legal Charges – Includes the cost of legal services to review reports, resolutions, and public hearing requirements for imposing the LLAD Assessment.  Admin Debits – Includes the cost of all particular departments and staff of the City for providing coordination of annual District administration process, operation, and maintenance of the improvements and responding to public concerns. This line item also includes the cost of preparing the Engineer’s report for the administration of the District.

ACCOUNT BALANCES
Based on the historical data in the table above, the average annual expenditure for the District is $39,535.28. The 1972 Act allows the District assessments to”…include a reserve which shall not exceed the estimated costs of maintenance and servicing to December 10 of the fiscal year, or whenever the city expects to receive its apportionment of special assessments and tax collections from the county, whichever is later.” The Reserve Fund will be considered fully funded when the account balance reaches an amount equal to approximately 50% of the annual District costs.

It should be noted that there have been limited infrastructure improvements for a few years due to the increased costs relative to the available funds. Capital Replacement Assessment (CRA) allocations were based on the percentage of poles in each Zone; approximately 45.5% of the poles in the District are in Zone A, and approximately 54.5% are in Zone B. The methodology noted above will be applied each fiscal year to allocate appropriate amounts to the Reserve Fund and CRA.

If a pole is damaged or knocked down by a vehicle collision, attempts are made to recover the replacement cost through the responsible party. The recovered funds are placed in the CRA for the Zone where the knockdown occurred. A summary of the Capital Replacement Reserve account is shown in the table below. Four lights were knocked down in past years, with the estimated fund balance and CRA allowing capital investments in the District in FY 2026/27.

SECTION IV – ASSESSMENT ROLL
Parcel Identification for each lot or parcel within the District is based on available parcel maps and other property data from the Contra Costa County Assessor’s office as they existed at the time this Report was prepared and adopted by the City Council.

A listing of parcels assessed within the District for FY 2025/2026, along with the new corresponding assessment amounts, is included on the following page. If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report.

Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.

Non-assessable lots or parcels include areas of public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas and rights-of-way, including public greenbelts and parkways; utility rights-of-way; common areas; landlocked parcels; small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots and any other property that cannot be developed or has specific development restrictions.

These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore, exempted from assessment.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 10.B.

DATE: JULY 21, 2026
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Markisha Guillory, Finance Director, 510-724-9823, [email protected] SUBJECT: USER AND REGULATORY FEE UPDATES

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution updating and establishing various user and regulatory fees, effective October 1, 2026.

BACKGROUND
• The City charges fees for certain services for which a particular individual or group is the primary beneficiary, as opposed to the public at large. In these instances, it is more equitable to charge for these services rather than fund them out of general taxes. • For most fees, the City is not allowed to charge more than the reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activity. For some (e.g., youth recreation), the City purposefully charges less than the cost of providing the service in an effort to maintain accessibility and affordability.
• Comprehensive fee studies should be performed periodically to ensure the City’s cost of providing services are accurate and appropriate.
• In October 2025, the City retained an independent consultant, ClearSource Financial Consulting (ClearSource), to facilitate a comprehensive study. • The study has been completed in three phases:
o Phase One: Community Services / Recreation Fees – Reviewed and updated in February 2026
o Phase Two: Rental Housing Inspection Fees – Reviewed and updated in March 2026
o Phase Three (this phase): Other user and regulatory fees, such as planning fees, public works engineering fees, building fees, code enforcement fees, public safety fees, and administrative fees.
• If Council adopts the proposed fees, the updated fees will be effective October 1, 2026 to comply with statutory requirements.
• Annual inflationary updates are recommended to be authorized for interim years.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The User and Regulatory Fee Study can be reviewed entirely in Attachment C of this report.

Cities regularly conduct these studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Industry practice

and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.

The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involvement in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that service. When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.

California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee-related services and activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees charged shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services, activities, or materials for which fees are charged.

Generally, fees for service are targeted to full cost recovery, inclusive of operating, direct, indirect, and capital costs, except in cases where the City Council cites a public interest in lower fees (e.g., parks and recreation fees). The City may also be influenced by market conditions or comparisons to municipalities of similar size and service profile.

Fees Examined as Part of this Study
Fees examined as part of this study include:
• Planning Fees, such as entitlement review and review for compliance with the zoning code.
• Public Works Engineering Fees, such as encroachment and public improvement review. • Building Fees, such as permitting of new construction or modifications to existing structures.
• Code Enforcement Fees, such as tobacco retailer licensing fees, lien release fees, and inspection fees.
• Public Safety Fees, such as vehicle release fees, fingerprinting fees, and specialized license reviews.
• Administrative Fees, such as license issuance and records response fees.

Fees, Fines, and Taxes that are NOT examined or updated as part of this study Fees, fines, and taxes not examined as part of this study include:
• Assessments
• Development Impact Fees
• Fines or Penalties
• Franchise Fees
• Taxes
• Utility Rates and Services Charges

These items are subject to different approval thresholds or are not subject to the same cost of service limitations as the fees examined as part of this study. Consequently, they are specifically excluded from the scope of this study.

Overview of Findings and Recommendations
• Prior Comprehensive Fee Study: The most recent comprehensive fee study was completed in 2022.
• No new regulations are proposed as a result of this study: Any fees proposed to be updated or added to the City’s fee schedule are intended to align to existing regulations outlined in the California Building Code, Fire Code, City of Pinole Municipal Code, etc.

Fee adjustments are simply intended to recover all, or a portion of the costs, of enforcing existing regulations.
• Fee changes for City Council consideration are illustrated in categories:
o Fees proposed to decrease
o Fees proposed to remain unchanged
o Fees proposed to increase
o Fees with changes that vary based on project criteria. In these instances fees may decrease, remain unchanged, or increase depending on the project criteria. o Fees proposed to be restructured. In these instances fees may decrease, remain unchanged, or increase depending on the project criteria. o New fees proposed.

The following provides a summary of primary changes the City Council is being asked to consider as part of this study.

Total Fees Examined 232 100.0%
Fees Proposed to Decrease or Remain Unchanged
• Approximately thirty-one percent (31%) of fees are proposed to decrease or remain unchanged. These are primarily fees that are limited by the State of California, and taxes that are adjusted periodically as directed by the City’s Municipal Code.

Fees Proposed to Increase
• Approximately fifty-nine percent (59%) of fees are proposed to increase. These are fees for regulatory services for which cities commonly target full cost recovery. o Full cost recovery is commonly targeted from development-related fees due to the regulatory nature of the fees and the high level of direct benefit resulting from construction activities including enjoyment of property enhancements, increased property values, and the desire to avoid having other Pinole residents and businesses subsidize an individual's private construction activities. o Additionally, when the City recovers the costs of these regulatory activities from the receiver of the service, the City’s General Fund tax dollars are more readily available to be directed towards services providing broader benefit to the community at-large (e.g., public safety, public works, park maintenance services, etc.)
Fees With Changes that Vary Based on Specific Criteria (May Decrease, Remain Unchanged, or Increase)
• Approximately eight percent (8%) of fees are proposed for adjustment that varies based on project criteria. For example, some fees are based on a specific number of service requests, with fees remaining unchanged for the initial service provision, and changing for subsequent requests.

Fees Proposed to be Restructured
• One (1) fee is proposed for restructuring. Staff recommends modifying the structure of the conditional use permit fee to account for varying levels of complexity of permit requests as well as community goals and values considerations for cost recovery.

New Fees
• Six (6) fees are proposed to be added to the fee schedule. The purpose of these additions is to add fee schedule clarity, by clearly identifying applicable fees for services that have historically been provided without a clear, corresponding, fee listed in the City’s fee schedule.

Periodic Review and Adjustment of Fees
Periodic review and adjustment of fees provides multiple benefits, including:
• Increasing the availability of General Fund revenues to be used for services and activities available to all residents and businesses, such as public safety services. • Keeping pace with general cost inflation.
• Avoiding fee spikes that are more likely to occur when municipalities leave fees unchanged for a multi-year period.
• Providing fee payers, city staff, and city policymakers with a pattern of consistency that provides information for forecasting and decision-making purposes. • Helping meet fee-payer service level expectations by collecting fees to fund the existing level of services provided.
• Encouraging generational equity among fee payers by avoiding long-term stagnation of fees followed by significant fee increases.

Regional Fee Comparison
• Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in-range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions.

Outreach
• The public has been notified regarding this item, as required by California Government Code Sections 66016 and 66018.

Procedures for Adoption
• User and regulatory fees are set at the direction of the City Council at the conclusion of a public hearing to consider adoption of any new fees or fee increases.

FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated fiscal impact of the proposed changes included in the fee schedule update is $227,000 in additional annual revenue.

It is important to note that while adjusting fees and billing rates will provide a fiscal impact in the form of additional revenue, the revenue is not intended to be used to fund new services, rather the revenue is intended to offset the costs of providing existing services that are recoverable from fees. Consequently, while fees may rise annually, typically labor costs (the primary driver of fee-related costs) also rise annually. Recalibration of these fees simply provides an offset of existing expenditures/needs rather than a source of funding for expanded service levels.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PINOLE, COUNTY OF

CONTRA COSTA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, UPDATING VARIOUS USER AND

REGULATORY FEES
WHEREAS, user and regulatory fees are established by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City has recently completed a study to identify the cost of providing various user and regulatory fee-related services; and WHEREAS, the study examined fee-related services provided by the City, the costs reasonably borne by the City in providing those services, the beneficiaries of those services, and the revenues produced by those paying fees and charges for special services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that providing these services is of benefit to applicants both separate and apart from the general benefit to the public; and therefore, in the interests of fairness to the general public, the City desires to better recover the costs of providing these services from applicants who have sought or require the City's services by revising its schedule of fees; and WHEREAS, it is useful to consolidate into one place such fees for services, permits, licenses and fines for public information and transparency into a consolidated schedule of User and Regulatory Fees; and
WHEREAS, wastewater (sewer) utility fees included in the consolidated schedule are established pursuant to the procedural and substantive requirements of article XIII D, section 6 of the California Constitution (also known as “Proposition 218”). Any reference to rates for wastewater (sewer) utility fees are included in the user and regulatory fee schedule for information purposes only and are not considered, modified, or “increased” as such term is defined under Government Code section 53750 as part of the City’s fee schedule update; and WHEREAS, development impact fees included in the consolidated schedule are established pursuant to the procedural and substantive requirements of Government Code Section 66000 et seq. (“Mitigation Fee Act”). Any reference to the development impact fees are included in the user and regulatory fee schedule for information purposes only and are not considered, modified, or “increased” as part of the City’s fee schedule update.

WHEREAS, the City Council desires that annually the City Manager may update the fees based on the estimated average annual increase in total employee compensation costs (employee compensation costs) or the annual percentage change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) for San FranciscoPage 89 of 264 Oakland-Hayward, CA. If employee compensation costs or the CPI do not change or go down in a given year, no change shall be made to the fee schedule that year; and
WHEREAS, in adopting this Resolution, the City Council is taking action only on those fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit “A” which have been modified from prior resolutions of the City Council. The remaining fees that have not been modified from prior resolutions shall remain in full force and effect.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Pinole does hereby resolve as follows:

SECTION 1: That the foregoing recitals and findings are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2: That the City Council hereby adopts the fees, charges, and rates as set forth in attached Exhibit "A" and incorporated by this reference.

SECTION 3: That any new or adjusted fees adopted by this Resolution shall go into effect October 1, 2026.

PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Pinole City Council held on the 21st day of July 2026 by the following vote:
