PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.D
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025

TITLE:

Fiscal Year 2026 First Quarter Financial Status Report
RECOMMENDATION:

No action recommended; for information only.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This report updates the City Council on the status of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 ending on June 30, 2026, or FY 2026, financial status based on actual revenues and expenditures during the first three months of the fiscal year.

The City of Pismo Beach’s financial outlook remains stable, with fund balances projected to be sufficient. The General Fund’s unassigned ending balance for FY 2026 is estimated at $7.77 million, which represents a decrease of $4.12 million compared to FY 2025. This reduction is primarily driven by $3.48 million more in operating expenditures compared to operating revenues. This net operating deficit will draw from the beginning unassigned fund balance.

For most of the City’s other funds, revenues and expenditures are projected to be on budget and the ending fund balances are in line with the FY 2027 Adopted Budget beginning fund balances. In all the other funds except the Pier Enterprise Fund, there are sufficient fund balances and projected revenues to cover projected expenditures.

It should be noted that the FY 2025 actual revenues and expenditures are not yet final as staff continues to confirm those amounts in the process of completing the City’s FY 2025 financial statements. As such, the FY 2026 projected beginning fund balances in this report are not yet final and may change in future reports to reflect the final minor adjustments.

The following sections provide details of the General Fund financial picture, followed by a summary and highlights of the City’s other funds.

I. General Fund Budget Summary
In summary, based on early projections from the first three months of the fiscal year, the General Fund is projected to end FY 2026 with a $7.77 million unassigned fund balance.

The FY 2026 projected $7.77 million unassigned fund balance is $426 thousand less than the FY 2026 Revised Budget. This decrease is attributable to $426 thousand fewer projected operating revenues compared to the Revised Budget.

The unassigned fund balance is used to support operations and pay for future one-time investments included in the FY 2026 budget and in the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan.

Council Agenda 11-18-2025 9.D-1
Packet Page 26

In addition to the General Fund unassigned fund balance, the General Fund includes the Budget Stabilization Reserve set-aside of $2.00 million.

Table 1 is a summary of the FY 2025 preliminary actuals and the FY 2026 General Fund revised budget, projected actuals, and a variance comparing the budget to projected actuals.

Table 1: FY 2026 General Fund Budget Summary
II. General Fund Beginning Fund Balance
The General Fund beginning fund balance is comprised of two different components:
The unassigned fund balance, which are funds that are not committed for any specific purpose and could be used for various one-time projects, and The committed or carryforward fund balance, which are funds that are committed for a specific budgeted use.

As illustrated in Table 2, the FY 2026 Adopted Budget General Fund beginning fund balance was projected to be $10.67 million. Based on changes during FY 2025 and carrying forward fund balance to cover previously budgeted but not-yet-spent expenditures, the preliminary estimated fund balance is revised to $26.25 million. This includes $11.00 million of unassigned fund balance and $15.24 million of carryforward fund balances.

III. General Fund Reserve
The City maintains various General Fund reserves totaling $9.12 million for emergency operations, building depreciation, and risk management. These reserves are crucial in order to avoid disrupting the City’s operations following unanticipated events. The reserves are shown in Table 3, followed by a summary of each reserve.

Table 3: General Fund Reserves

Reserve Amount ($ thousands)
General Fund 25% Reserve $8,367
City Building Reserve 500
Risk Management Reserve 250
Total $9,117

General Fund 25% Reserve
The City has adopted a fiscal policy to fund a General Fund Reserve of 25% of General Fund budgeted annual operating expenditures for FY 2026. The General Fund reserve should be equal to $9.24 million, which is 25% of the total FY 2026 budgeted annual operating expenditures of $36.94 million. Currently, the General Fund Reserve is $8.37 million, of which $8.31 million is invested in various securities and $53 thousand is pending investment. This reserve allows the City to maintain its operations for a few months in the event that an emergency or disaster impacts the City’s finances, and can also be used for emerging opportunities. The City Treasurer will be investing an additional $868 thousand during FY 2026 to fully fund the General Fund Reserve.

City Building Reserve
The City Council created a City Building Reserve of $500 thousand, for the maintenance and upkeep of City facilities and buildings, particularly if funds are not available. This amount is equal to five years of annual depreciation on City-owned buildings.

Risk Management Reserve
The City Council established a Risk Management Reserve, contributing $50 thousand each year to the budget for unanticipated risk management costs. This reserve has a balance of $250 thousand, which is the maximum contribution level. ($ thousands)

IV. General Fund Revenues
The FY 2026 Revised Budget includes total revenues of $36.91 million, with actual revenues anticipated to reach $36.49 million—$426 thousand less than budgeted.

Compared to FY 2025, the FY 2026 projected actual revenues are expected to increase by $719 thousand, or 2.0%. This increase is primarily attributed to one-time transfers from the Lodging Business Improvement District Fund for various projections plus Local Coastal Plan grant revenues. This is offset by anticipated reductions in various revenue streams, including Other Revenues, Transient Occupancy Tax revenues, and Intergovernmental Revenues. Table 4 provides a summary of the General Fund revenue budget alongside the projected actual revenues for FY 2026. This is followed by a detailed review of the top three revenue sources for FY 2026, as well as a discussion on significant variances between FY 2026 projected revenues and FY 2025 actual figures.

Table 4: FY 2026 General Fund Revenue Budget and Projected Actuals

 Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues are projected to fall $507 thousand short of the budget and $590 thousand, or 3.9%, below the previous year’s revenues. TOT revenues are collected from an 11% tax on rent charged by lodging businesses for stays of 30 consecutive days or less. The projected decline in TOT revenues reflects a few hotels that are currently undergoing renovations and are either fully or partially closed. So far, there is an average 3.2% decrease in the first two months of the fiscal year, and a projected 3.2% decline for the remainder of FY 2026 compared to FY 2025 based on the hotel closures. Chart 1 further illustrates FY 2026 TOT revenues collected in comparison to FY 2024.

Chart 1. TOT Revenues FY 2026 compared to FY 2025

According to data from Smith Travel Research Inc., a competitive benchmarking and research provider for the hotel industry, excluding the hotel closures due to renovations, there is an increase in the average daily room rate and in occupancy rates in the first two months of the fiscal year compared to the same period of time last fiscal year. Specifically, the average daily room rate increased by 1.4% and the occupancy rate increased by 2.7% in the first three months of FY 2026 compared to the same period in FY 2025.

Based on these trends, staff projects that TOT revenues will reach $14.59 million, representing a $507 thousand shortfall from the budgeted amount, and a 3.9% decrease, or $590 thousand decrease, from the previous year's TOT revenues.

 Property-related tax revenues are projected to be $115 greater than budget and $30 thousand, or 0.4%, greater than previous year’s property-related tax revenues. There are two sources of property-related tax revenues:
o Property Tax Assessed Value revenues: equivalent to 1% of assessed values. o Property Tax In-Lieu of Vehicle License Fees: 1% tax on the market value of a registered vehicle.

Assessed value cannot increase by more than 2.0% per year per Section 2 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. The property tax projected actuals are based on San Luis Obispo County Auditor-Controller’s office certified assessed values for the current year.

 Sales and Use Tax revenues are projected to be equal to budget and $123 thousand, or 3.0%, less than the prior year. Sales and use tax revenues are made up of two sources:
o Bradley-Burns uniform sales and use tax, which is a 1.0% tax on taxable sales within the City.
o Public safety tax, which is a 0.5% tax on taxable sales for specified public safety purposes.

Based on actual sales tax receipts to date, the Bradley-Burns Uniform Sales and Use Tax is projected to equal budget expectations, but fall short of the prior year’s revenues by $123 thousand. Using data from the City’s sales tax consultant and actual revenues collected so far, City staff estimates that Bradley-Burns sales and use tax revenues will total $3.85 million. Chart 2 illustrates sales tax revenues received in FY 2025 and FY 2026 by the month in which the sales tax was collected.

Chart 2. Bradley Burns Sales Tax Revenues FY 2026 compared to FY 2025

The public safety sales tax revenues are budgeted at $123 thousand in FY 2026 and are anticipated to be equal to budget. This FY 2026 projected amount is $911 greater than the FY 2025 public safety sales tax revenues.

In summary, sales and use tax revenues are projected to be equal to budget and $123 thousand, or 3.0%, less than the prior year.

 Other Revenues are projected to come in equal to budget but $1.16 million, or 29.4%, lower than the previous year. This category includes fines and forfeitures, interest earnings, rents and leases, various service fees, and other miscellaneous revenue sources. The anticipated decline is due to a one-time $411 thousand legal settlement received in FY 2025, which will not be repeated in FY 2026; one-time $515 thousand gain comparing the original value of an investment compared to the fair market value $-

that is reflected in FY 2025 and not in FY 2026; and projected interest earnings are expected to decrease by $407 thousand due to lower interest rates.

 Intergovernmental Revenues are projected to be equal to budget and $305 thousand, or 80.1%, less than the prior year. This is largely due to the City of Pismo Beach drawing down $180 thousand from the City’s Other Post Employment Benefit account as it is currently over funded in FY 2025 and currently not budgeted to draw down that amount in FY 2026; receiving $75 thousand for a FEMA reimbursement for Fire services in FY 2025 but not expected in FY 2026; and receiving $42 thousand more in SB 90 unfunded mandate reimbursements from the State in FY 2025 compared to the FY 2026 budget.

 Permits are projected to be $35 thousand less than budget and $537 thousand, or

45.3%, greater than the prior year. This additional $537 thousand compared to the FY 2025 anticipates the projected one-time developments, including Shell Beach Road at Beachcomber, the Gateway project on Price Street, and other commercial and multi-family developments.

V. General Fund Expenditures
The FY 2026 Revised Budget expenditures total $52.10 million and projected actual expenditures total the same amount.

Total operating expenditures for the first quarter total should be about 25% of the budget, assuming the timing of expenditures is consistent throughout the year. This year, about 22% of the operating budget has been spent in the first quarter, while only 1% of the one- time capital expenditure budget has been spent in the first quarter. These one-time costs are dependent on the timing of construction of these projects. Table 5 provides details of actuals as a percentage of budget by expenditure category, followed by explanations of the large variances from the 25% mark.

Table 5. FY 2026 General Fund Expenditure Budget and Projected Actuals

Some operating costs that do not reflect consistent monthly spending include:
 Benefits, which includes retirement, health, and other benefits for employees. In order to take advantage of a 3% savings in CalPERS pension costs, the City prepaid the full year of its projected normal CalPERS pension costs. As such, the Benefits expenditure category reflects that 42% of the budget was spent in the first quarter.  Professional Services, which reflects that 5% was spent in the first quarter. These costs are based on the timing of work performed and are not set amounts per month.  Contract Services, which reflects that 38% was spent in the first quarter. These costs reflect the prepayment of insurance costs in the first quarter.  Debt Service, which reflects that 0% was spent in the first quarter. Debt service payments are due in December and June each year and do not follow a consistent monthly draw.
 Other Financing Uses, which includes a $500 thousand general contingency budget and reflects that only 16% of the budget has been spent in the first quarter. This budget is allocated over time based on unanticipated costs that come up throughout the year and are not a consistent allocation of expenditures.
 Retiree Medical Insurance costs, which reflects that 0% of budget was spent in the first quarter. The monthly costs are payments to Retirees, but the majority of these payments are contributions to CalPERS for the actuarially determined contribution and are paid toward the end of the fiscal year.

 $12.66 million in U.S. Bank Checking & Sweep: This account is the City’s primary checking account and with the addition of a new sweep account, the account earned on average 3.79%.
 $1.25 million in the U.S. Bank Custodian: This is where interest from various investments is deposited and also where matured securities are temporarily deposited earning 4.17% annually.
 $415 thousand in Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF): LAIF is a State investment pool earning 4.34% annually and is the City’s secondary savings account where the majority of cash is held for current year expenditures.

OPEB Trust Account
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires public-sector entities to account for the promise to provide other post-employment benefits (OPEB) over the working life of the employee rather than on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City has an actuarial study performed every two years to determine how much to set aside each year to partially or completely fund the City’s future obligations for retiree health costs.

Council Agenda 11-18-2025 9.E-2
Packet Page 42

The City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Account is held with the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Fund. This trust was established to receive employer contributions that prefund retiree health and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) costs for retirees and their beneficiaries. The CERBT Fund helps the City finance future obligations primarily through investment earnings generated by CalPERS, which are projected to average approximately 6.75% annually, though actual returns fluctuate quarterly.

Until FY 2024, the City’s OPEB Trust Account carried an unfunded liability, and the City made annual contributions equal to the Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) to reduce that liability. By the end of FY 2024, the Trust became overfunded, allowing the City to be reimbursed for its FY 2025 retiree health costs, with an additional reimbursement anticipated for FY 2026. Consequently, no new contributions will be made to the Trust in FY 2026. Maintaining an OPEB Trust allows the City to treat these contributions as an asset to offset future retiree health costs, rather than carrying them as a long-term liability on the City’s balance sheet.

Portfolio Allocation
Per California Government Code 53600 et seq., and the City's Investment Policy, the City may invest up to a maximum percentage of the entire portfolio of funds in authorized financial instruments. Table 1 and Chart 1 show a summary of the authorized financial instruments, the maximum percentage limits, the book value as of September 30, 2025 of the City’s funds, and the percentage of the total City’s pooled funds that are invested in each financial instrument.

Investment Value

Book Value: The book value represents the initial outlay for an investment and is the amount carried on a balance sheet. In the past quarter ending September 30, 2025, the City’s total book value of cash and investments was $117.59 million. This is $3.53 million less than the last quarter’s ending balance, largely due to spending down bond proceeds for the 2024 Public Safety Facility Lease Revenue Bonds. In general, there are a number of factors that impact changes in cash and investment balances from quarter to quarter.

These changes may include receiving periodic payments (e.g., property taxes are received in December and April), large payments on debt service or capital projects, seasonal revenues and expenditures, and other factors affecting cash flow. Table 3 illustrates the book value as of the quarter ending September 30, 2025 compared to the previous quarter.

Market Value: The market value represents the current price at which a security can be traded and is the value of an investment comparing the various aspects of the security to other factors in the market such as interest rates. The market value as of September 30, 2025 for CDs, GASs, Corporate Bonds, MBSs, and Treasuries was $54.13 million, which is $372 thousand greater than the book value, as illustrated in Table 4. The City expects to hold onto the majority of its investments to maturity and would receive the book value of its investment.

Table 4: Book Value to Market Value Comparison

Investment Earnings and Performance
The City’s Investment Policy outlines the objectives of the City’s investments, in priority order, as:
 Safety of principal to ensure the preservation of,
 Liquidity to enable the City to all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated; and
 Return on investments commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints identified in the Investment Policy and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio All three objectives have been met and interest earnings are described below.

Interest Earnings: In the past quarter ending September 30, 2025, the City’s total interest earnings were a gain of $1.12 million, including a $548 thousand gain in the City’s managed portfolio and a $329 thousand gain in OPEB. The projected annual interest earnings for FY 2026 are $3.07 million, which is a gain of 2.69% for the year for the City’s entire portfolio and a gain of 2.61% for the City’s managed portfolio, as illustrated in Table

5. Note that as the City’s cash and investments change, the interest earnings change correspondingly.

Performance:

The projected annual interest earnings rate for FY 2026 is 2.84% for the City’s entire portfolio. The projected annual interest earnings rate for FY 2026 is 2.95% for the City’s managed portfolio (excludes Bond funds and OPEB Trust Account). This is compared to LAIF, which is earned 4.34% as of September 30, 2025, or the 1-year U.S. Treasury Note, which earned 3.63% as of September 30, 2025. The following Table 6 lists the various performance measures regarding the various annual earnings rate for the City’s entire portfolio, the City’s managed portfolio, and the two benchmarks of LAIF and the 1-year U.S. Treasury Note.

Future Outlook
Recent economic data indicate that overall activity continues to expand at a moderate pace. While the unemployment rate remains near historic lows, it has shown slight upward movement. Inflation has risen since earlier in the year and continues to hover modestly above the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) long-term target.

The FOMC remains committed to its dual mandate of promoting maximum employment and maintaining stable inflation at an average of two percent over the long run. The Investment Name Type of Investment

Committee continues to monitor risks to both objectives and adjust its policy stance accordingly.

To support these goals, the FOMC recently lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.75% to 4.00%. Future policy actions will be determined by evolving economic conditions and the implications of new data for overall economic stability.

Market interest rates remain higher than the average yield on the City’s investment portfolio, though longer-term rates have begun to decline. In response, the City Treasurer has strategically rebalanced the portfolio by allocating a greater share of idle cash into longer-term securities. This approach is designed to lock in currently favorable rates through FY 2030, supporting continued strength in interest earnings.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.F
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025
TITLE:

Contract Amendment 3 With Channel Islands Technology Integrators’ Group, Inc. (CITIG) for Information Technology Services
RECOMMENDATION:

DISCUSSION:

The City’s Information Technology (IT) services are provided by an IT Manager, IT Technician, and a contracted IT service provider. The contracted IT services provider offers 24/7 helpdesk services for computers and servers for all 130 or so users, backup support for the IT Manager, and additional project hours and services as needed. On November 5, 2019, after staff conducted a competitive request for proposals process, the City Council adopted Resolution R-2019-080 authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Channel Islands Technology Integrators’ Group, Inc. (CITIG) for IT services. The agreement included a three-year period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2022, with two options for a three-year extension as mutually agreed to.

The services covered include IT help desk services and shared management of IT infrastructure. In addition to these core services, CITIG also provides the City with special pricing on antivirus, backup, spam filtering, monitoring, and other services at a discounted rate. These other services are separate from the total contract and are provided as needed.

On December 20, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution R-2022-110 authorizing the City Manager to extend the agreement with CITIG for three years from December 1, 2012 through November 30, 2025.

CITIG Contract Services and Costs
The CITIG contract includes IT help desk services, shared infrastructure management services, and options for onsite services.
IT Help Desk Tickets: Since 2022, the City’s in-house staff has covered almost all of the help desk tickets. CITIG is only covering tickets when both IT staff members are out of the office.
Onsite Infrastructure Support: A monthly infrastructure day is still needed to assist with the shared managed infrastructure.
Managed Servers: IT has been able to maintain the base of 61 managed servers for the past 3 years.

Council Agenda 11-18-2025 9.F-1
Packet Page 54

Cost and Service Changes
Per Amendment #2 to the agreement with CITIG, effective each year is a cost increase to reflect an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) comparing September 2025 to the previous September 2024, reflecting a total 3.5% increase in their rates. As such, the December 1, 2025 rates will include a 3.5% increase in the onsite infrastructure support and managed services costs. Going forward, annually, CITIG is proposing adjusting its fee each year based on CPI to keep up with inflation.

Proposed Services and Cost for CITIG
Based on the above proposed cost increases to reflect CPI adjustments, the proposed contract is estimated to cost the City $164,880 for the first year. Depending on the number of servers or assistance with tickets, the total estimated cost could be more or less than this amount. Staff recommends that the cost of another 5 servers be estimated in the contract as a contingency, bringing the total proposed contract amount to a not-to-exceed $176,940 for the first year, and with 4% estimates for CPI increase each year, $552,336 over the three-year term extension.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of adopt the subject resolution is an additional not-to-exceed $176,940 for the period of December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, and with an estimated 4% estimate for CPI increase each year, $552,336 over the three-year term extension.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item 9.G
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025

TITLE:

Amendment #2 to the Agreement with Jason Addison Smith Consulting Services, Inc. (JAS Pacific) for Building Division Services
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment #2 to the agreement with JAS Pacific in the amount of $200,000 for professional Building Division services.

DISCUSSION:

The City originally entered into a contract in the amount of $100,000 with JAS Pacific for building plan check services on September 6, 2024, with a contract expiration date of June 30, 2025. Amendment 1 to the contract was approved by the City Council on May 20, 2025, adding $145,000 to the contract and extending it through fiscal year 2026. Plan check service demand continues to exceed projections with building activity expected to generate an additional $200,000 in building plan check expenses through the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2026.

JAS Pacific has been in operation for thirty years and has extensive experience providing Building Division services to jurisdictions on the central coast and their staff is familiar with the City’s processes, procedures, and the local building code. The scope of the current contract covers a wide range of Building Division services, designed to be available to support any function of the Building Division when workload exceeds staff capacity. Services available under the scope of the current contract include plan check, inspection, and Permit Tech services.

Current Building Division staffing levels include one full-time Building Official, one full-time Permit Technician, one part-time Permit Technician, and one full-time Inspector, which under the current workload is insufficient to keep up with building permit plan check needs. The high volume of electronic submittals has created a need to augment plan check services through use of the JAS Pacific outside plan check service.

Staff expects the demand for building permit plan review services to remain at current levels for the remainder of FY 2026. The Council-approved fee structure supports the City’s full cost to provide these services, which are reflected in the FY 2026 budget. More of these budgeted funds will need to be allocated to the existing agreement with JAS Pacific in order to support the cost of required services. The contract is structured such that the contract amount is a “not-to-exceed” amount and the City only pays for those services requested and rendered, meaning the City is not obligated to pay the full contract amount if corresponding service are not requested. The Building Division collects sufficient plan check fees to cover the cost of the proposed Amendment 2 to the JAS Pacific contract.

Council Agenda 11-18-2025 9.G-1
Packet Page 64

Conclusion and Recommendation
Due to current and anticipated volumes of submittals in the Building Division, the City is in need of additional contract Building Division plan check services to continue to provide a high level of service. Staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment #2 (Attachment 2) to the Agreement with JAS Pacific, which will allocate additional funding in the amount of $200,000 for these services through FY 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of adopting the resolution approving Amendment #2 with JAS Pacific is $200,000. There is sufficient budget in the General Fund Community Development Department’s Building Division Professional Services account to support this cost. This amendment increases the total contract amount from $245,000 to $445,000. This additional cost will be fully covered by building plan check fees already in the City’s Fee Schedule.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.H
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025

TITLE:

Acceptance of Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Funding Award from the Office of Traffic Safety
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution accepting grant funds in the amount of $40,000 from the California Office of Traffic Safety and appropriating related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year 2026.

DISCUSSION:

The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) strives to eliminate traffic deaths and injuries by making available grants to local and state public agencies for programs that help them enforce traffic laws, educate the public in traffic safety, and provide varied effective means of reducing fatalities, injuries, and economic losses from collisions. OTS draws from several federal government funding sources for its grants and mounts public awareness campaigns acting as the primary traffic safety resource in order to enlist the help of the general public and the media encouraging traffic safety. Each year, OTS notifies more than 3,000 eligible agencies regarding the opportunity to participate in the grant program and the requirements to compete for available funds. Proposals are submitted addressing traffic safety problems from all interested and eligible agencies. A major area of concentration for awarded funding is in the area of alcohol-impaired driving.

The City has applied for and successfully obtained grant funding from OTS in the past.

Several of the grant awards were specific to driving under the influence-impaired driver enforcement. The funding allowed for the procurement of driving under the influence (DUI) checkpoint equipment, police motorcycles, a DUI Trailer, and DUI training to include travel, and funding overtime for officers working checkpoints and suppression patrols.

The grant award will financially compensate for overtime hours used by the Police Department to selectively enforce impaired driving, enforcement operations focusing on primary crash factors, distracted driving, night-time seat belt enforcement, special enforcement operations encouraging motorcycle safety, enforcement and public awareness in areas with a high number of bicycle and pedestrian crashes, and educational programs. These strategies are designed to earn media attention thus enhancing the overall deterrent effect. In addition, the department will participate in community collaboration and engagement activities to engage in conversations regarding traffic safety with community members. All equipment needed, advertising, education material, and grant management cost is covered by the terms of the grant.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) accepting $40,000 in grant funds from the California Office of Traffic Safety and appropriating related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. The grant agreement is provided as Attachment 2.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.

The City of Pismo Beach has a population of approximately 8,600 residents with an estimated 2.5 million visitors annually. U. S. Highway 101 and U.S. Highway 1 are major thoroughfares through the city. The City of Pismo Beach is a desirable destination for tourists and residents. In particular, the downtown area consists of numerous restaurants, shops, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. These qualities draw large crowds, both vehicular and pedestrian. The City of Pismo Beach provides many services for tourists, including hotels, restaurants, public safety access, and camping facilities.

The Pismo Beach Police Department (PD) is a traditional police force whose officers work traffic as time allows. The sworn staffing is 24 officers including corporals. The Pismo Beach PD utilizes a Traffic Division that consists of a Traffic Sergeant and two Motor Officers. However, the Traffic Division is not a dedicated traffic enforcement unit and is used as regular patrol throughout the City.

Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).

Traffic enforcement efforts in the downtown area are complicated due to the narrow roadways, heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and numerous additional hazards to the public and police officers. Efforts have been made to enforce traffic violations by patrol officers in squad cars. However, traffic crashes increased from 2020 to 2021 and remained high in 2022. Typical police squad cars are challenging for the City to use as enforcement during summer and special events because of their general bulk and inability to patrol sensitive areas like the downtown (small streets) and areas around the pier and boardwalk.

A review of the City of Pismo Beach crashes data indicates that an increase during the Summer vacation/Labor Day period, Memorial Day, Independence Day weekends and the holiday period (Thanksgiving through New Years). Other times include Halloween, Super Bowl Sunday, Cinco de Mayo and local festivals/events (Cesar Chavez / Car Show/Spring Break). The Department uses officers for increased directed enforcement focused on reducing alcohol and speed-related crashes, along with increased pedestrian safety. During these special events, it is very common for the City to close major thoroughfares and convert streets to pedestrian only. Many of these streets can only be patrolled or accessed by motorcycle or on foot.

In 2022, there were 35 crashes resulting in 34injuries and 1 fatality. In 2023, there were 38 crashes resulting 38 injuries. In 2024, there were 29 crashes resulting in 29 injuries. Of those 2024 crashes, Pismo Beach experienced:
- 2024 - a total of 23 unsafe lane changes resulting in 26injuries. - 2024 - a total of failure to Yield Right of Way crashes, resulting in 35 injuries. - 2024 - a total of 18 unsafe speed crashes resulting in 18 injuries

The Pismo Beach has recently seen an increase of injuries pedestrians and bicyclists during the Summer, vacation, and holiday periods. During the first quarter of FY 24/25 the Pismo Beach PD has experienced multiple bicyclist involved injury crashes. The recreational nature of the city leads to a significant number of bicyclists, including families and groups using the roadways. Challenges include non-compliance with traffic signals and higher risk of injuries, as highlighted by the 35 injury traffic crashes in 2024.

The overall goal of the city is to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities among motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists involved in traffic-related incidents. In addressing these challenges, Pismo Beach PD emphasizes a multi-faceted approach, including traffic enforcement, education initiatives, and outreach. The data provided on specific incidents and the nature of crashes will be crucial for tailoring effective strategies to enhance traffic safety in Pismo Beach for our community, vacationers, and those commuting through.

Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

The target population this grant intends to serve are the residents of the City of Pismo Beach and the more than 2.5 million visitors annually, especially during the summer months and during special events or Council Agenda 11-18-2025 9.H-6

holidays. The extra motorcycle in the fleet would ensure that police presence and existing staffing levels can be put to better use and be more targeted at protecting the safety of the community.

Furthermore, because San Luis Obispo County is a small county, with numerous small public safety agencies, every agency depends on mutual aid to support their neighbor. The most common form of request for mutual aid is in traffic safety. With the grant partnership through the Office of Traffic Safety Pismo Beach PD will be able to provide enhanced enforcement in an effort to decrease incidences of fatal and injury crahses. With our partnership with the Office of Traffic Safety, the Redwood City PD’s Traffic Unit’s ability to commit staffing for conducting traffic enforcement operations and presentation educational presentations provides safer roadways for the residences of Pismo Beach.

b. the period during which the Recipient retains ownership or possession of the property.

9. The Recipient will provide for such methods of administration for the program as are found by the Secretary of Transportation or the official to whom he/she delegates specific authority to give reasonable guarantee that it, other recipients, sub-recipients, sub- grantees, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, transferees, successors in interest, and other participants of Federal financial assistance under such program will comply with all requirements imposed or pursuant to the Acts, the Regulations, and this Assurance.

The prospective lower tier participant certifies, by submission of this proposal, that neither it nor its principals is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participating in covered transactions by any Federal department or agency.

2. Where the prospective lower tier participant is unable to certify to any of the statements in this certification, such prospective participant shall attach an explanation to this proposal.

BUY AMERICA
(applies to subrecipients as well as States)

The State and each subrecipient will comply with the Buy America requirement (23 U.S.C. 313) when purchasing items using Federal funds. Buy America requires a State, or subrecipient, to purchase with Federal funds only steel, iron and manufactured products produced in the United States, unless the Secretary of Transportation determines that such domestically produced items would be inconsistent with the public interest, that such materials are not reasonably available and of a satisfactory quality, or that inclusion of domestic materials will increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. In order to use Federal funds to purchase foreign produced items, the State must submit a waiver request that provides an adequate basis and justification for approval by the Secretary of Transportation.

CERTIFICATION ON CONFLICT OF INTEREST
(applies to subrecipients as well as States)

Such a financial or personal interest would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or personal interest in or a tangible personal benefit from an entity considered for a subaward. Based on this policy:

1. The recipient shall maintain a written code or standards of conduct that provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents. a. The code or standards shall provide that the recipient's officers, employees, or agents may neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from present or potential subawardees, including contractors or parties to subcontracts. b. The code or standards shall establish penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations, as permitted by State or local law or regulations.

2. The recipient shall maintain responsibility to enforce the requirements of the written code or standards of conduct.

No State or its subrecipient, including its officers, employees, or agents, shall perform or continue to perform under a grant or cooperative agreement, whose objectivity may be impaired because of any related past, present, or currently planned interest, financial or otherwise, in organizations regulated by NHTSA or in organizations whose interests may be substantially affected by NHTSA activities. Based on this policy:

2. NHTSA will review the disclosure and may require additional relevant information from the recipient.

If a conflict of interest is found to exist, NHTSA may (a) terminate the award, or (b) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of NHTSA to continue the award and include appropriate provisions to mitigate or avoid such conflict.

3. Conflicts of interest that require disclosure include all past, present, or currently planned organizational, financial, contractual, or other interest(s) with an organization regulated by NHTSA or with an organization whose interests may be substantially affected by NHTSA activities, and which are related to this award. The interest(s) that require disclosure include those of any recipient, affiliate, proposed consultant, proposed subcontractor, and key personnel of any of the above. Past interest shall be limited to within one year of the date of award. Key personnel shall include any person owning more than a 20 percent interest in a recipient, and the officers, employees or agents of a recipient who are responsible for making a decision or taking an action under an award where the decision or action can have an economic or other impact on the interests of a regulated or affected organization.

PROHIBITION ON USING GRANT FUNDS TO CHECK FOR HELMET USAGE (applies to subrecipients as well as States)

The State and each subrecipient will not use 23 U.S.C. Chapter 4 grant funds for programs to check helmet usage or to create checkpoints that specifically target motorcyclists.

POLICY ON SEAT BELT USE

In accordance with Executive Order 13043, Increasing Seat Belt Use in the United States, dated April 16, 1997, the Grantee is encouraged to adopt and enforce on-the-job seat belt use policies and programs for its employees when operating company-owned, rented, or personally-owned vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for providing leadership and guidance in support of this Presidential initiative. For information and resources on traffic safety programs and policies for employers, please contact the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), a public-private partnership dedicated to improving the traffic safety practices of employers and employees. You can download information on seat belt programs, costs of motor vehicle crashes to employers, and other traffic safety initiatives at www.trafficsafety.org .

POLICY ON BANNING TEXT MESSAGING WHILE DRIVING

In accordance with Executive Order 13513, Federal Leadership On Reducing Text Messaging While Driving, and DOT Order 3902.10, Text Messaging While Driving, States are encouraged to adopt and enforce workplace safety policies to decrease crashes caused by distracted driving, including policies to ban text messaging while driving company-owned or rented vehicles, Government-owned, leased or rented vehicles, or privately-owned vehicles when on official Government business or when performing any work on or behalf of the Government. States are also encouraged to conduct workplace safety initiatives in a manner commensurate with the size of the business, such as establishment of new rules and programs or re- evaluation of existing programs to prohibit text messaging while driving, and education, awareness, and other outreach to employees about the safety risks associated with texting while driving. 10/17/2025 12:32:21 PM Page 20 of 21

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.I
Meeting Date: November 18th, 2025
TITLE:

Five-Year Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for the Purchase and Deployment of Taser 10 Conducted Energy Devices and Related Services RECOMMENDATION:

DISCUSSION:

The Police Department reviewed its existing equipment inventory and determined that current Taser X26P conducted energy devices (CEDs), as part of its less-lethal options to safely de-escalate confrontations and minimize injury to officers and community members, have reached the end of their manufacturer-recommended five-year life cycle.

The current X26P devices were purchased approximately 10 years ago. Additionally, Axon Enterprise has discontinued long-term support for the X26P platform, necessitating the purchase of replacement units.

Axon has introduced the Taser 10, its latest CED model, which offers several key safety and performance improvements, including:
Increased cartridge capacity (10 probes per cycle, compared to 2 on the Taser X26P)
Greater effective range (up to 45 feet)
Enhanced accuracy and stability through digital power control Improved data-logging, and reporting
Rechargeable, environmentally friendly battery system
Replacement of the current devices with the new Taser 10 devices on a unit-by-unit basis would result in higher per-unit costs and reduced support coverage. A multi-year bundled contract offers cost predictability, extended warranty coverage, replacement cycles, training materials/equipment, and annual officer training credits. The multi-year bundled contract offers a savings of approximately $39,143 compared to if the items were purchased separately (see Attachment 2 for details pertaining to the multi-year replacement plan). The contract (Attachment 3) includes full warranty coverage, unlimited replacement of defective devices, training materials, and all necessary software licenses, eliminating unplanned maintenance costs during the term of the agreement.

The proposed five-year agreement will:
Replace existing Taser X26P units with the new Taser 10 model.

Council Agenda 11-18-2025 9.J-1
Packet Page 87

Provide annual training cartridges, holsters, and instructor certification materials. Include hardware refresh at the end of the five-year term. Integrate with Axon’s digital evidence management platform for accurate incident reporting and accountability.

Axon Enterprise, Inc. is the sole source provider of the Taser 10. All City police officers have received training through Axon Enterprise, receive yearly update training, and are familiar with the Taser platform, a leader in the field of less-lethal conducted energy devices. This would qualify as an upgrade to existing technology, currently only offered by Axon Enterprise. Therefore, the procurement qualifies as a sole-source acquisition under the City’s purchasing policy.

This update of equipment represents a proactive investment in both public and officer safety, consistent with the City Council’s goal and priority of maintaining public safety.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to execute a five-year agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for the purchase and deployment of Taser 10 conducted energy devices, related equipment, software, training, and technical support, in a total amount not to exceed $125,421.12.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of adopting the subject Resolution is an additional cost of $125,421.12 over five years, with annual payments of $25,084.23. The Fiscal Year 2026 and FY 2027 General Fund Police Department minor equipment account has sufficient budget to support these costs.

This TASER Energy Weapon Agreement ("Agreement") applies to Agency’s TASER 7 or TASER 10 purchase from Axon Enterprise, Inc. ("Axon"). Agency will receive TASER 7 or TASER 10 Conducted Energy Weapon ("CEW") hardware, accessories, warranty, and services documented in the attached Quote Appendix ("Quote").

1.Term. The start date is based on the initial shipment of TASER 7 or TASER 10 hardware ("Start Date").

If shipped in the first half of the month, the Start Date is the 1st of the following month. If shipped in the last half of the month, the Start Date is the 15th of the following month. The TASER 7 or TASER 10 term will end upon completion of the associated TASER 7 or TASER 10 subscription in the Quote ("Term"). If the Quote has multiple TASER 7 or TASER 10 ship dates, each shipment will have a sixty- (60-) month term, starting on the shipment of TASER 7 or TASER 10 as described above.

2.Payment. Axon invoices upon shipment, or on the date specified within the invoicing plan in the Quote.

Payment is due net thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Payment obligations are non-cancelable. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Agency will pay interest on all past-due sums at the lower of one-and-a-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate allowed by law. Agency will pay invoices without setoff, deduction, or withholding. If Axon sends a past due account to collections, Agency is responsible for collection and attorneys’ fees.

3.Taxes. Agency is responsible for sales and other taxes associated with the order unless Agency provides Axon a valid tax exemption certificate.

4.Shipping. Axon may make partial shipments and ship any hardware provided by Axon under this Agreement ("Axon Devices") from multiple locations, including Axon-manufactured Devices, which are a subset of Axon Devices. All shipments are EXW (Incoterms 2020) via common carrier. Title and risk of loss pass to Agency upon Axon’s delivery to the common carrier.

Used conducted energy weapon ("CEW") cartridges are deemed to have operated properly. Extended warranties run from the expiration of the one- (1-) year hardware warranty through the extended warranty term.

If Axon receives a valid warranty claim for an Axon-manufactured Device during the warranty term, Axon’s sole responsibility is to repair or replace the Axon-manufactured Device with the same or like Axon-manufactured Device, at Axon’s option. A replacement Axon-manufactured Device will be new or like new. Axon will warrant the replacement Axon-manufactured Device for the longer of (a) the remaining warranty of the original Axon-manufactured Device or (b) ninety (90) days from the date of repair or replacement.

6.2.1.If Agency exchanges an Axon Device or part, the replacement item becomes Agency’s property, and the replaced item becomes Axon’s property.

6.4.1.To the extent permitted by law, the above warranties and remedies are exclusive. Axon disclaims all other warranties, remedies, and conditions, whether oral, written, statutory, or implied. If statutory or implied warranties cannot be lawfully disclaimed, then such warranties are limited to the duration of the warranty described above and by the provisions in this Agreement. Agency confirms and agrees that, in deciding whether to sign this Agreement, it has not relied on any statement or representation by Axon or anyone acting on behalf of Axon related to the subject matter of this Agreement that is not in this Agreement.

6.4.2.Axon’s cumulative liability to any Party for any loss or damage resulting from any claim, demand, or action arising out of or relating to any Axon Device or Service will not exceed the purchase price paid to Axon for the Axon Device, or if for Services, the amount paid for such Services over the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Neither Party will be liable for direct, special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, however caused, whether for breach of warranty or contract, negligence, strict liability, tort or any other legal theory.

6.5.Online Support Platforms. Use of Axon's online support platforms (e.g., Axon Academy and MyAxon) is governed by the Axon Online Support Platforms Terms of Use Appendix available at www.axon.com/sales-terms-and-conditions .

Use of software or services other than those provided by Axon is governed by the terms, if any, entered into between Agency and the respective third-party provider, including, without limitation, the terms applicable to such software or services located at www.axon.com/sales-terms-and-conditions , if any.

6.7.Axon Aid. Upon mutual agreement between Axon and Agency, Axon may provide certain products and services to Agency, as a charitable donation under the Axon Aid program. In such event, Agency expressly waives and releases any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against Axon, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), including but not limited to, on account of injury, death, property damage, or loss of data, arising out of or attributable to the Axon Aid program whether arising out of the negligence of any Releasees or otherwise. Agency agrees not to make or bring any such claim against any Releasee, and forever release and discharge all Releasees from liability under such claims. Agency expressly allows Axon to publicly announce its participation in Axon Aid and use its name in marketing materials. Axon may terminate the Axon Aid program without cause immediately upon notice to the Agency.

Axon Customer Experience Improvement Program Appendix
1 Axon Customer Experience Improvement Program (ACEIP). The ACEIP is designed to accelerate Axon’s development of technology, such as building and supporting automated features, to ultimately increase safety within communities and drive efficiency in public safety. To this end, subject to the limitations on Axon as described below, Axon, where allowed by law, may make limited use of Agency Content from all of its customers, to provide, develop, improve, and support current and future Axon products (collectively, "ACEIP Purposes"). However, at all times, Axon will comply with its obligations pursuant to the Axon Cloud Services Terms of Use Appendix to maintain a comprehensive data security program (including compliance with the CJIS Security Policy for Criminal Justice Information), privacy program, and data governance policy, including high industry standards of de-identifying Personal Data, to enforce its security and privacy obligations for the ACEIP. ACEIP has 2 tiers of participation, Tier 1 and Tier 2. By default, Agency will be a participant in ACEIP Tier 1. If Agency does not want to participate in ACEIP Tier 1, Agency can revoke its consent at any time. If Agency wants to participate in Tier 2, as detailed below, Agency can check the ACEIP Tier 2 box below. If Agency does not want to participate in ACEIP Tier 2, Agency should leave box unchecked. At any time, Agency may revoke its consent to ACEIP Tier 1, Tier 2, or both Tiers.

1.1 ACEIP Tier 1.

1.1.1.When Axon uses Agency Content for the ACEIP Purposes, Axon will extract from Agency Content and may store separately copies of certain segments or elements of the Agency Content (collectively, "ACEIP Content"). When extracting ACEIP Content, Axon will use commercially reasonable efforts to aggregate, transform or de-identify Agency Content so that the extracted ACEIP Content is no longer reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to a particular individual ("Privacy Preserving Technique(s)"). For illustrative purposes, some examples are described in footnote 11. For clarity, ACEIP Content will still be linked indirectly, with an attribution, to the Agency from which it was extracted. This attribution will be stored separately from the data itself, but is necessary for and will be solely used to enable Axon to identify and delete all ACEIP Content upon Agency request. Once de-identified, ACEIP Content may then be further modified, analyzed, and used to create derivative works. At any time, Agency may revoke the consent granted herein to Axon to access and use Agency Content for ACEIP Purposes. Within 30 days of receiving the Agency’s request, Axon will no longer access or use Agency Content for ACEIP Purposes and will delete any and all ACEIP Content. Axon will also delete any derivative works which may reasonably be capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to Agency. In addition, if Axon uses Agency Content for the ACEIP Purposes, upon request, Axon will make available to Agency a list of the specific type of Agency Content being used to generate ACEIP Content, the purpose of such use, and the retention, privacy preserving extraction technique, and relevant data protection practices applicable to the Agency Content or ACEIP Content ("Use Case"). From time to time, Axon may develop and deploy new Use Cases. At least 30 days prior to authorizing the deployment of any new Use Case, Axon will provide Agency notice (by updating the list of Use Case at https://www.axon.com/aceip and providing Agency with a mechanism to obtain 1 For example; (a) when extracting specific text to improve automated transcription capabilities, text that could be used to directly identify a particular individual would not be extracted, and extracted text would be disassociated from identifying metadata of any speakers, and the extracted text would be split into individual words and aggregated with other data sources (including publicly available data) to remove any reasonable ability to link any specific text directly or indirectly back to a particular individual; (b) when extracting license plate data to improve Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) capabilities, individual license plate characters would be extracted and disassociated from each other so a complete plate could not be reconstituted, and all association to other elements of the source video, such as the vehicle, location, time, and the surrounding environment would also be removed; (c) when extracting audio of potential acoustic events (such as glass breaking or gun shots), very short segments (<1 second) of audio that only contains the likely acoustic events would be extracted and all human utterances would be removed.

Meeting Date: November 18, 2025
TITLE:

Reject All Bids Received for the Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair and Bluff Face Stabilization Project
RECOMMENDATION:

Reject all bids received for the Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair and Bluff Face Stabilization Project.

DISCUSSION:

Storm events during January 2017 caused saturation of the bluff face along Ocean Boulevard and Cliff Avenue resulting in extensive erosion and damage to the existing roadway and stormwater facilities. Funding for repairs was approved through the Federal Emergency Relief Program, administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans Local Assistance (LA). The project includes the stabilization of a section of bluff along Ocean Boulevard and Cliff Avenue as well as reconstruction of the storm drain outfall, sidewalk, vehicular guardrail, and other surface improvements.

The Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair and Bluff Face Stabilization Project was advertised for construction bids on September 19, 2025. A single bid was received on October 30, 2025 in the amount of $8,943,175. The bid received was significantly higher than the Engineer’s Estimate of $2,993,930. Staff is working with the design consultant and Caltrans LA to review the Engineer’s Estimate and will contract with the selected Construction Management consultant to perform a constructability review of the plans to identify potential improvements and cost efficiencies.

Once the review is complete, staff will work with Caltrans LA to update the project cost and request additional funding from FHWA if needed prior to re-advertising for construction bids.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council reject all bids received for the Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair and Bluff Face Stabilization Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this report.

Code, Section A102 of the 2025 California Existing Building Code, and Sections 405.8, 503, 504.3, 505, 507.5.1, 605, 903.2, 903.3, 903.3.5, 903.3.11, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 2306.2.3, 5504.3, 5601, 5704, 5706 and 6104.2 of the 2025 California Fire Code, are required to be modified due to the findings contained herein to requirements other than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that each of the changes or modifications to measures referred to therein are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions in the area encompassed by the boundaries of the City of Pismo Beach, and the City Council further finds that the following findings support the local necessity for the changes or modifications:

FINDING 1
That the City of Pismo Beach lies approximately midway between the major population centers of San Francisco and Los Angeles, making mutual aid resources from these centers delayed. Furthermore, within San Luis Obispo County, organized fire departments are characteristically at such distance and of such limited resources that they may not present a reliable rapid response mutual aid alternative, although agreements currently exist. The continued development in new residential areas within the City and potential annexation areas will increase response times for personnel, creating a substantial threat to human life and public safety. The afore-described conditions support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code and, in particular, support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in Sections 105.2, 502.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 1031.2 and 1506 of the 2025 California Building Code, Sections R308.1, R309.2, R309.3.1, R309.5, R316.1, R319.1, R321.1 and R904.5 of the 2025 California Residential Code, and Sections 503, 504.3, 505.1, 903.2, 903.3.5, 903.3.11, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 2306, 5601.1, 5704.2.9.6, 5706.2.4.4, and 6104.2 of the 2025 California Fire Code.

FINDING 2
That on the inland side of the City of Pismo Beach lie large expanses of steep, undeveloped terrain with moderate to high wild-land fuel loading. Furthermore, a wild- land fire in these areas, in conjunction with coastal winds, Santa Ana winds, and similar dry, conditions could threaten the City with burning embers traveling thousands of feet that will ignite structures. City fire-suppression resources will be inadequate to resist this threat. The protection of human life and the preservation of property in the event of such an occurrence support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code and in particular support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in Sections 502.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 1031.2 and 1506 of the 2025 California Building Code, Sections R308.1, R309.2, R309.3.1, R309.5, R316.1, R319.1, R321.1 and R904.5 of the 2025 California Residential Code, and Sections 503, 504.3, 505.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 2306.2.3, 5601.1.3, 5704.2.9.6, 5706.2.4.4, and 6104.2 of the 2025 California Fire Code.

Attachment 1
Council Agenda 11-18-2025 11.A-5
Packet Page 111

FINDING 3
That the City of Pismo Beach is bisected by Highway 101, and there are only six arterial crossovers along seven miles of City boundary bisected by said highway. This condition increases the response times for fire apparatus, especially during peak traffic flows. A delayed response due to this condition poses a substantial threat of fire to human life, public safety, and the preservation of property and support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code, and in particular, support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in Sections 502.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 1031.2 and 1506 of the 2025 California Building Code, Sections R308.1, R309.2, R309.3.1, R309.5, R319.1, R321.1 and R904.5 of the 2025 California Residential Code, and Sections 503, 504.3, 505.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, 907.6.6, 2306.2.3, 5601.1.3, 5704.2.9.6, 5706.2.4.4, and 6104.2 of the 2025 California Fire Code.

FINDING 4
That the City of Pismo Beach is bisected by a major freeway (Highway 101), traversing in the north/south direction, and is subject to floods and earthquakes which create impassable roads and collapsed bridges. Emergency personnel responding to a fire may be unduly impeded or delayed in accomplishing an emergency response as a result of this situation, with the potential result of undue and unnecessary risk to the protection of life and public safety, particularly in those buildings or structures without the protection of automatic fire sprinklers. The afore-described conditions support the imposition of fire protection requirements greater than those set forth in the California State Building Standards Code, and in particular support the imposition of greater requirements than set forth in Sections 502.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 905.3.1, and 1506.4 of the 2025 California Building Code, Sections R309.3.5.4, R309.2, R319.1and R904.5 of the 2025 California Residential Code, Section 230.70(A)(1) of the 2025 California Electrical Code, Section A102 of the 2025 California Existing Building Code, and Sections 503, 504.3, 505.1, 903.2, 903.3.5.3, 903.3.11, 905.3.1, 2306.2.3, 5601.1.3, 5704.2.9.6, 5706.2.4.4, and 6104.2 of the 2025 California Fire Code.

FINDING 5
That the City of Pismo Beach lies in a coastal climate zone associated with the Pacific Ocean that creates corrosive moisture conditions damaging to exterior building system components supports the imposition of greater fire sprinkler system component requirements than set forth in Section 903.3.11 of the 2025 California Building Code and Section 903.3.11 of the 2025 California Fire Code.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #12.B
Meeting Date: October 21, 2025
TITLE:

Introduction (First Reading) of an Ordinance that Adopts by Reference and Amends the Latest Editions of the Constituent Codes of the California Building Standards Code, Makes Findings of Fact to Support the Amendments, and Makes a Determination of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act RECOMMENDATION:

1. Introduce an Ordinance amending Titles 8 and 15, Chapters 8.04, 8.08, 15.04, and

2. Schedule a public hearing and second reading (adoption) of the above-referenced Ordinance for November 18, 2025, pursuant to Government Code Section 50022.3.

DISCUSSION:

The City is required to comply with the building and fire codes adopted by the State of California, which are updated every three years. The code editions recently adopted by the State will be effective January 1, 2026. These codes can be modified locally to reflect unique situations or special needs, and the City must adopt these local modifications as part of the Municipal Code in order to coordinate the City's building and fire codes with the State's codes. The recommended action will continue the incorporation of all local amendments that are unique to the City of Pismo Beach into the most recent "building and fire codes" established by the State of California. The evolution of the model codes, on which the California codes are based, will recognize the latest advances in building safety, environmental concerns, resource management, and fire suppression safety. The improved regulations will enhance the City’s rating by the Insurance Services Organization, which evaluates the City’s construction regulation program.

Attachment 2

Packet Page 161

The proposed ordinance will repeal existing chapters of the Municipal Code and replace them with new chapters that retain previously established local amendments and clarify some existing amendments or code sections to improve enforceability.

Overview
The Building and Construction codes are updated every three years. The State of California adopts and amends the most recent edition of those codes, which are subsequently published by the Building Standards Commission. The 2025 California Building, Residential, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Energy, Wildland-Urban Interface, Green Building Standards, Historical, Existing Building, and Fire Codes will become effective statewide on January 1, 2026. Copies of these Codes are open to public inspection and may be requested from the City Clerk’s Office.

The City’s Building Division, as required by state law, cannot approve projects that do not comply with the codes in effect at the time of plan submittal. All projects submitted on or before December 31, 2025, are permitted to comply with the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Code. Beginning on January 1, 2026, the City of Pismo Beach is required by state Law to enforce the 2025 Edition of the California Building and Standards Code (also known as Title 24 of the California Codes of Regulations).

The California Health and Safety Code authorizes the City to amend provisions of the California Building Standards Code for local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. The proposed ordinance will amend the state codes to address unique local conditions in the City of Pismo Beach, and contains the findings required to justify the proposed local code modifications. The proposed ordinance moves forward the local amendments from the 2022 California Codes to the 2025 California Codes, therefore without approval of the ordinance, the City will have no authority to enforce the City’s existing local amendments, since they are tied to the 2022 California codes. If the Ordinance is introduced in accordance with staff's recommendation, final passage of the ordinance will implement the local amendments, carried forward from the 2022 California Codes, to the 2025 California Building Standards Code and will enable the City to enforce the Building Code through the local methods and processes contained in the Pismo Beach Municipal Code

Procedural Considerations
Government Code Sections 50022.1 through 50022.10 set forth the procedures by which a city may adopt codes by reference. In accordance with these Government Code Sections, the date of a public hearing is set at the time of the ordinance’s introduction (first reading), and the public hearing on the ordinance occurs at the time of its adoption (second reading). These procedures differ from the typical ordinance adoption process, where the introduction is conducted as a business or hearing item, and the adoption is returned as a consent item.

Staff therefore recommends that, following the introduction of the ordinance (Attachment 1), including reading of the full title with waiver of further reading, the Council set the Council Agenda 10-21-2025 12.B-2
Attachment 2
October 21, 2025 Introduction Staff Report
Council Agenda 11-18-2025 11.A-56
Packet Page 162

public hearing and adoption (second reading) for November 18, 2025. The ordinance would then become effective by statute on December 18, 2025, and be implemented beginning January 1, 2026.

The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1), including local amendments, is a consolidated package that provides assurance that overlapping code provisions are compatible. For example, the California Building Code, California Residential Code, and California Fire Code, as amended, will contain identical requirements for the installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in buildings.

A brief summary of each proposed code amendment in this adoption cycle is found in Attachment 3 to this report.

Local Amendments of Note Retained without Changes
A few of the more noteworthy local amendments retained from previous code adoptions with no changes are:

Fire Code
x Administrative reference to penalty/citation provisions of the Municipal Code. x Fire sprinkler requirements for new and altered buildings. x Standpipe system requirements in a parking structure and buildings with excessive area and height.
x Minimum water service size specified for an automatic fire sprinkler system installed to serve one- and two-family dwellings.
x Building address numbers specified to be greater size for increased visibility. x Requirements for barbecue pits.
x Specifications for fire apparatus roads and access.
x Limitations on use of fuel oil.
x Gas meter labeling requirements.
x Stairway to the roof or alternate roof access for emergency personnel required for a new building having two or more stories above grade. x Limitations on use of above-ground storage tanks for combustible liquids. x Prohibition on use of fireworks.

Construction Codes
x Reference to archeological resource program.
x Clarification of time limit and expiration of a permit application. x Criteria for granting an extension of time for an expiring permit application. x Plan review fees, investigation fees, and fee refunds.

x Clarification of membership and function of the Board of Appeals. x Administrative reference to penalty/citation provisions of the Municipal Code. x Permit required for masonry/concrete free-standing walls greater than 3 feet above grade.
x Prohibition on use of shipping containers, trailers, and railcars for habitation. x Underground wiring for electric and communication services required for new buildings.
x Building address numbers specified to be greater size for increased visibility. x Fire sprinkler requirements for new and altered buildings. x Minimum water service size specified for an automatic fire sprinkler system installed to serve one- and two-family dwellings.
x Standpipe system requirements in a parking structure and buildings with excessive area and height.
x Required emergency escape and rescue windows at basement sleeping rooms retained from prior code.
x Prohibition of wood shake and wood shingle roof coverings. x Prohibition of a building balcony designed for human occupancy that projects into the right-of-way.
x Clarification of permit application and processing criteria in flood zones. x Permit exemptions for signs clarified.
x Hillside grading limitations.
x Additional administrative provisions for grading.
x Clarification of permit exemption for residential decks. x Organization of the enforcement agency.

Attachment 1 depicts the final language of the Code as it will be codified if the ordinance is adopted. Attachment 2 illustrates actual text changes for all proposed local amendments to the various codes. Underlined text represents amendments carried over from the prior code adoption and shaded text indicates a new amendment or modified portion of a prior amendment. Attachment 3 provides discussion of the proposed amendments.

California Building Standards Code Changes of Note
The 2025 code change includes many modifications from the 2022 edition and a few of the more noteworthy changes include:

x Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Code. The California Building Standards Commission has adopted a new California Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code Council Agenda 10-21-2025 12.B-4
Attachment 2
October 21, 2025 Introduction Staff Report
Council Agenda 11-18-2025 11.A-58
Packet Page 164

to reduce the risk of wildfire damage to structures. As part of this adoption, CBC Chapter 7A, CRC Section R337, and CFC Chapter 49, has been repealed and replaced with the new WUI Code, which incorporates California’s previous amendments to maintain state-specific requirements. The international Code Council (ICC) created a new WUI code aimed at reducing the risk from wildfires.

California has repealed CBC Chapter 7A and adopted the new WUI code, incorporating prior California amendments.
x Impact of 2025 WUI Code and Cal Fire FHSZ Maps.
o Updated Cal Fire Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) Maps. Many Pismo Beach areas have been reclassified into Moderate, High, or Very High hazard zones under the Local Responsibility Area (LRA), reflecting increased wildfire risk.
o Alignment with Local Ordinances. The City incorporated the designated FHSZs into its municipal code via Ordinance O-2025-004, adopted on July 1, 2025, ensuring local building requirements match state recommendations for wildfire safety.
o Implications for Developers and Property Owners. Projects in Very High hazard areas require additional fire-resistant construction measures, defensible space, and compliance with WUI Code standards, potentially increasing initial costs but improving long-term resilience. x Electrification & Heat Pumps.
o Mandates the use of heat pumps for space and water heating in new residential and low-rise multifamily buildings, expanding on 2022 requirements.
o Includes updated standards for heat pump water heaters in low-rise multifamily buildings.
o Encourages "electric-ready" designs for buildings to facilitate future electric cooking and water heating.
x California Building Code (CBC). Strengthened life-safety and fire protection measures, including new requirements for two-way emergency communication systems in stairways and elevator lobbies, and updated exterior wall protections at roof access points.
x Expanded EV Infrastructure Requirements in CALGreen. The updated CALGreen code (Part 11) now expands requirements for actual Level 2 EV chargers/receptacles in new projects moving beyond simple "EV-capable" parking to more concrete, electrification-ready infrastructure. x Assembly Bill 130 Residential Building Code Freeze (Oct. 1, 2025 – June 1, 2031).

California’s AB 130 imposes a six-year moratorium on residential building code changes—effective October 1, 2025, through June 1, 2031. During this timeframe:
o Local jurisdictions are prohibited from enacting new or more stringent building standards for residential projects—including “reach codes”—unless Council Agenda 10-21-2025 12.B-5
Attachment 2
October 21, 2025 Introduction Staff Report
Council Agenda 11-18-2025 11.A-59

they fall into one of several narrowly defined exceptions. These exceptions allow amendments for home hardening, emergency health or safety, or to implement locally adopted general plans aimed at mixed-fuel or incentivized all-electric construction, provided those plans were approved by June 10, 2025. Additionally, jurisdictions may retain existing local amendments if they were in effect as of September 30, 2025.
o The California Building Standards Commission is likewise barred from adopting new residential building standards during this period, except under the same limited exception.

Environmental
Under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061 (b) (3), this ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, such as the adoption the regulations contained herein, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

Alternatives

1. Introduce ordinance with modifications.

2. Take no action, which will result in the State’s versions of the codes, without local amendments, becoming effective January 1, 2026.

Conclusion and Recommendation
To provide consistency with State of California construction code mandates and enable local amendments to the new constituent codes, staff recommends that the City Council introduce an ordinance (Attachment 1) amending Titles 8 and 15, Chapters 8.04, 8.08,

Staff also recommends that the Council schedule a public hearing and second reading (adoption) of the above-referenced ordinance for November 18, 2025, pursuant to Government Code Section 50022.3. The ordinance would become effective January 1, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact from staff’s recommended action. Costs associated with codification of this ordinance and enforcement of its provisions will be absorbed by the adopted budget.
