To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8) VENDOR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents (“City Indemnitees”), from and against all claims, damages, injuries, losses, and expenses including costs, attorney fees, expert consultant and expert witness fees arising out of, pertaining to or relating to, the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of any subcontractor employed by VENDOR shall be conclusively deemed to be the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR unless adequately corrected by VENDOR. In the event CITY Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from VENDOR’s performance of this AGREEMENT, VENDOR shall provide a defense to CITY Indemnitees or at CITY’s option, reimburse CITY Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims. In no event shall the cost to defend charged to VENDOR under this paragraph exceed VENDOR’s proportionate percentage of fault. However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, VENDOR shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.

D. Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnities in paragraph A, B, or C. In the event of any dispute between VENDOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, VENDOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating CITY as having been actively negligent, solely negligent or as having engaged in willful misconduct. Except as otherwise required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, VENDOR will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive completion of VENDOR’s services or the termination of this AGREEMENT.

XIV. NON-LIABILITY OF CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

No elected official, officer, employee, or agent of CITY will be personally liable to VENDOR, in the event of any default or breach by CITY or for any amount that may become due to VENDOR.

XV. INSURANCE

A. Without limiting VENDOR’s indemnification of CITY, and prior to commencement of the Scope of Services, VENDOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this AGREEMENT, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form that is satisfactory to CITY.

1. General liability insurance. VENDOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)

2. Automobile liability insurance. If VENDOR owns vehicles used in performing the Scope of Services in any manner, VENDOR shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of VENDOR arising out of or in connection with any work to be performed under this AGREEMENT, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.

3. Workers’ compensation insurance. VENDOR shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000), as required by law.

4. VENDOR shall submit to CITY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.

5. Errors and Omissions/Professional Liability. VENDOR shall maintain a policy of professional liability insurance written on a claims-made basis in an amount not less than $1,000,000. VENDOR shall also procure and pay for appropriate tail coverage for a minimum of three years following completion of the Scope of Services to cover any errors or omissions occurring during the Term. In the alternative, VENDOR may elect to obtain equivalent coverage on an occurrence basis. CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney may waive the requirement of professional liability insurance if he/she determines that such a policy is not commercially available to VENDOR. If such a policy is commercially available, additional cost to VENDOR in obtaining such a policy shall not be a basis upon which the insurance requirement will be waived.

B. Other provisions or requirements:

1. Proof of insurance. VENDOR shall provide certificates of insurance to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.

Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this contract. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements to such policies, at any time.

2. Duration of coverage. VENDOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the AGREEMENT insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by VENDOR, its agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.

3. Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by VENDOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

4. CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by VENDOR or Attachment 4
Council Agenda 1-20-2026 9.I-39
Packet Page 106

7 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from VENDOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may terminate this AGREEMENT as provided in paragraph IV.

5. Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by CITY’s Risk Manager.

6. Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officials, agents, officers, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow VENDOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. VENDOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

7. Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of CITY to inform VENDOR of non- compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

8. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If VENDOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by VENDOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to CITY.

9. Notice of cancellation. VENDOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. In the event VENDOR’s policy of insurance cannot be endorsed to provide this notice of cancellation, VENDOR shall provide CITY notice of such cancellation, in writing, not later than 24 hours following the effective time of such cancellation.

10. Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. Each such insurance policy shall contain language substantially similar to the following clause:
"The City of Pismo Beach, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, and agents are named as additional insureds as respects operations of the named insured performed under contract with the City of Pismo Beach." CITY need not be named as an additional insured on professional liability insurance policies.

11. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement 8 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing by CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney.

12. Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that VENDOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

13. Pass-through clause. VENDOR agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, sub- contractors, and any other party providing any work under the Scope of Services under the direction of VENDOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of VENDOR. VENDOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. VENDOR agrees that upon request, all AGREEMENTS with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in performing work under the Scope of Services will be submitted to CITY for review.

14. CITY’s right to revise specifications. CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving VENDOR ninety (90) days' advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to VENDOR, CITY and VENDOR may renegotiate VENDOR’s compensation.

15. Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by CITY.

16. Timely notice of claims. VENDOR shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from VENDOR’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

17. Additional insurance. VENDOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Scope of Services.

XVI. SUBCONTRACTORS
Before VENDOR retains or hires a subcontractor to provide any work, labor, or services relative to this AGREEMENT, VENDOR must:

A. Present the name and identifying information of the subcontractor that will provide any work, labor, or services to CITY;
B. Present to CITY the form of subcontract that will be used with the subcontractor for CITY’s approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Such subcontract agreement must include an indemnity agreement that is generally in accord with the indemnity obligations contained in paragraph XII of this AGREEMENT and must specifically name CITY as an indemnified party; and
C. Secure from the subcontractor evidence of insurance coverage that meets with this AGREEMENT including naming CITY as an additional insured as required by this Attachment 4

In April 2011, LWC was retained by
the City of Grover Beach to update
the City’s Development Code.

The primary purpose of the update
was to provide the City with
economically viable standards and
implement key recommendations of
the West Grand Avenue Master Plan,
completed by an LWC-led team in
early 2011. West Grand Avenue is a

1.3-mile commercial stretch running
through the heart of Grover Beach.

The corridor was predominantly
zoned for commercial uses, but with
the market unable to support the
current supply of commercial space,
there was a high level of vacancy
along the corridor.

The West Grand Avenue Master Plan
proposed focusing commercial uses
in nodes, while introducing residential
and live/work uses in transition areas.

market conditions.

The Code update also modernized
WKH&LW\¶VH[LVWLQJUHJXODWLRQVZLWK
easy-to-read tables and graphics
and streamlined the permit
review process.

LWC worked closely with City
6WDႇWRFRPSOHWHWKHXSGDWHWR
the Development Code, ensuring
consistency with the City’s General
Plan and overall vision for the future
of Grover Beach.

Zoning Code Amendments and Objective Design Standards
The City of Seal Beach hired LWC to
prepare Zoning Code amendments
required by state law to fully
implement the City’s 6th Cycle
Housing Element, including new
Objective Design Standards that
would apply to a new high-density
residential mixed-use zoning district.

LWC worked closely with the City
to create standards to support City
goals of the development of a variety
of housing types for all incomes. This
includes the establishment of a new
high-density residential mixed-use
zone to ensure an appropriate range
of non-residential uses as well as
increased density up to 40 dwelling
units per acre.
/:&DQG&LW\VWDႇGHVLJQHGD
robust outreach program to introduce
the project to City residents,
gather input on key housing and
design issues and better ensure
DVHQVHRIRZQHUVKLSLQWKH¿QDO updated standards.

Drawing from input gathered through
a series of stakeholder interviews,
a comprehensive review of existing
design standards, and analyses
of Housing Element sites, the new
Objective Design Standards were
developed to complement the
development regulations of the new
base district.

The standards were developed in
accordance with the policies of the
Los Alamitos Airport Land Use Plan
as well as the Local Coastal Program.

The Zoning Code Amendments are
anticipated to be adopted by the end
of 2025, pending the completion of
the CEQA process.

LWC was also hired in fall 2023
to assist the City in adopting
its 6th Cycle Housing Element,
securing a letter of substantial
compliance from the California
Department of Housing and
Community Development.

Special Financing Districts -
Advantages include the ability to
use tax increment funding which is
reinvested in the proposed District Area
to fund infrastructure, public services,
and facilities upgrades and expansion.

Voter-Approved Measures - Requiring
a 2/3rds vote can provides funding for
capital projects such as infrastructure
improvements, and climate resilience
upgrades.

Grants -Require little upfront costs and
the NHD has already been successful
in securing CERF and CCC grants.

Public Private Partnerships -
Enable the District to leverage private
investment to fund projects without
burdening the public budget or
increasing public debt, particularly for
large-scale infrastructure projects
The project was delivered on time and
within budget in July of 2025.

LWC’s proposed scope of work addresses amendments to
the consolidated Zoning Code/Implementation Plan (ZC/IP) anticipated to be complete in 2026. The ZC/IP amendments consist of those necessary to implement an updated Safety Element and an updated Parks, Recreation, and Access
Element, based on an updated Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan, which would also be
prepared in this second phase.

Approach
LWC’s approach is informed by best practices and lessons learned from over 19 years of coastal resilience, zoning code, and economic projects. Our approach is grounded in the following core attributes:
• Listening and learning through feedback loops with

Task 4A: Economic Impact Analysis

4.1 Methodology. LWC will prepare an administrative

that outlines the anticipated data inputs, assumptions, and analytical approaches to be used in the economic impact analysis consistent with SB 272 (California Public Resources Code section 30985) and California Code of Regulations
Title 14 section 13512. The economic impact analysis will be based on the results from the updated sea level rise vulnerability assessment. This memorandum will include
analysis methodology for infrastructure replacement cost and recreational value loss, in addition to direct property impacts. Direct property impacts are anticipated to consist of market value or real property value loss, structural damage, demolition, and cleanup costs. LWC assumes

2026 State Legislative Agenda

CITY OF PISMO BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Governance, Administrative and Finance
Central to many of the City’s functions is its ability to effectively govern, administer and financially sustain its municipal operations and assets on behalf and for the benefit of its residents. Among the priorities for the City are following:
• Preserve local control by the City for its various permitting, land use, contracting and other discretionary actions;
• Ensure transparency in government and the ability of residents to participate, comment and access information on local decision-making and budgetary actions; • Maintain the ability to provide sustainable retirement and medical programs for City employees and their families; and
• Protect the City and its residents from State legislative or administrative directives without full cost-recovery or mitigation.
• Support the implementation of additional flexibilities governing open government initiatives including provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act. • Support legislation that maintains local discretion and authority over transfer taxes and other locally approved revenue measures, opposing any state efforts to preempt, delay, or undermine their implementation.
• Support policy and regulatory reforms to tort law and liability insurance to protect the function of local governments from unforeseen risk circumstances. • Support legislative and regulatory reforms that reduce unfunded liability costs and mitigate the financial exposure of public agencies resulting from excessive litigation, statutory penalties, or outdated liability frameworks.

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-4
Packet Page 131

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 3

The City should oppose legislative efforts to eliminate or restrict local control of permitting and cost-recovery efforts. The City should support measures increasing local autonomy, protecting privacy, and maintaining local authority over public records. The City should oppose mandates from the State that don’t include funding or other mitigation. The City should oppose any effort to restrict its ability to contract for goods or services in a way that increases costs to the City or results in the reduction of services. The City should support efforts to provide additional flexibility to the City in the provision and administration of retirement and medical benefit programs, while ensuring those programs are sustainable for past, current, and future employees.

General Infrastructure
City facilities are heavily utilized by residents and are often lower in priority compared to transportation, water, and other facilities impacted by usage, accidents, and weather. The following needs are generally high on the list of necessary improvements:
• Replacing or rehabilitating outdated public building facilities, including city hall and administrative functions, public safety facilities for law enforcement and fire departments, as well as specialized departments;
• Shore and coastal protection and erosion measures; and • Energy and water efficiency improvements to facilities that provide cost savings to the City, as well as benefits for the environment and health.

Recommendations include supporting State legislation and administrative actions to direct funding into grant programs for energy and water efficiency improvements. The City should support the capitalization of revolving loan fund programs to assist local agencies with financing of capital costs.

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-5
Packet Page 132

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 4
Currently, funding for capital costs of building replacement and rehabilitation are severely constrained, but there are opportunities in a couple of areas:
• The Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) and the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank) offer the State Infrastructure Revolving Fund Program with low-interest-rate loans, that could benefit efforts with the City’s old city hall, public safety facility improvements, and capital projects.

Transportation Infrastructure
Transportation facilities that provide safe and efficient movement of people and goods are critical to the City. Priority will be placed on efforts to secure funding for the following areas of need:
• Safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, including students, who share the transportation corridors and facilities;
• Efficient circulation in the City, particularly in the downtown core, including parking availability;
• Bridge and related infrastructure funding to ensure usage of existing facilities; • Coordination with State highways and infrastructure;
• Improvements to transportation corridors for aesthetics, environmental, and water benefits; and
• Maintenance and preservation of existing facilities to ensure life cycle usage and reduced costs of rehabilitation and replacement.

Recommendations include supporting State legislation to increase the amount of funding available through the Highway Users Tax Account and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account, as well as specific grant programs. Similarly, support for efforts to expedite project delivery processes that reduce procurement or permitting lead times to enable projects to move forward. The City should support legislation and administrative actions to make grant funding more competitive for City projects, through revisions of screening and scoring criteria that create Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-6
Packet Page 133

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 5
an equitable distribution of funding for all communities. The City should oppose any attempts by the Legislature or Administration to withhold transportation funding from jurisdictions related to their progress toward or status of their Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) or Housing Element compliance. The City should support policy changes that make the use of electric bicycles safer, including but not limited to changing the definitions in law to more accurately reflect their capabilities, and requiring vendors to provide a notice of liability upon sale.

Funding and collaborative work with State agencies will help the City advance priority projects and efforts, including:
• Circulation and parking improvements with potential funding from programs such as the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grants and congestion management funds. • Aesthetic and other improvements to corridors such as Shell Beach, that provide a visual and quality-of-life incentive to increased pedestrian and bicyclist use. The Active Transportation Program provides funding to encourage this type of usage. Similarly, Cap and Trade auction proceeds fund programs for greening improvements to public facilities (Urban and Community Forestry Program and Urban Greening Grant Program). • Regional congestion management proposals that benefit the City, including improvements to U.S. Highway 101, county and city roadways, and other modes of transportation (Solutions for Congested Corridors Program).

Water Infrastructure and Resources
The State’s ongoing drought cycles have highlighted the need for continued conservation practices, as well as a focus on ways to maximize the use of water resources, including recharging the area’s groundwater for future use and examining the potential of innovative reuse. These short-term and long-term strategies are high priorities for the Governor and Administration.

Policies related to these priorities include:

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-7
Packet Page 134

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 6
• Continuation of the City’s history of water conservation at public facilities and by residents;
• Improvements to storm water and drainage infrastructure; • Treatment and recycling of wastewater for recharging groundwater resources; • Reuse of treated wastewater for potable and other innovative purposes; and • Pursuit of regional partnerships to effectively and efficiently leverage the infrastructure and collaboration benefits of recycled water.

Recommendations include supporting policies at the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) that allow local agencies to set and achieve realistic and meaningful water conservation targets and encourage the Water Board to consider the impacts to staff resources of the many reporting requirements. The City should support further efforts by the Governor and Legislature to appropriate additional funding to key water grant and loan programs, such as the Water Recycling Funding Program. Similarly, the City should support and encourage State funding for planning, outreach, design, construction, and ongoing operation efforts to local and regional projects for water recycling and basin recharge.

The City already has a strong history of working collaboratively with the Water Board on water projects. Listed below are funding opportunities available and being pursued for specific projects:

• The Water Board administers the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) which provides low-interest-rate loans and grants for water projects, particularly those involving recycled water. Supporting additional funds for the SRF program may help the City’s various water and wastewater projects advance faster toward funding.
• As part of Central Coast Blue (regional recycled water project) , the City has also successfully pursued funding from the Water Board’s Groundwater Grant Program, funded from Proposition 1.

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-8
Packet Page 135

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 7
• Also as part of Central Coast Blue, the City is in the process of accepting a funding award from the SRF’s Recycled Water Funding Program.

Energy Infrastructure and Resources
The Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant was planned to close in 2025 under a 2016 agreement between Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), then-Governor Jerry Brown, labor unions representing plant workers, and environmentalists who objected to the plant's location near an earthquake fault line, the potential for dangerous accidents and the problem of what to do with radioactive waste. More recently, Governor Newsom and the California legislature extended the plant's life span to 2030 to stave off blackouts while the state pursues its goal of a carbon-free grid by 2045.

In November 2023, PG&E officially requested federal permission from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to keep the Diablo Canyon plant open for 20 more years. The NRC’s evaluation of the request will likely take years to complete and will include opportunities for public comment.

The City of Pismo Beach is supportive of keeping Diablo Canyon open to continue to provide safe, affordable, and clean energy for the region. Recommendations include supporting any legislation or budget appropriations at the State that ensures safe operation of Diablo Canyon.

Park, Recreation and Open Space
Providing residents with a high quality of life, and visitors with an incredible experience to encourage additional visits, continues to be a significant priority for the City. Tourism is one of the economic drivers for the City that provides the opportunity for increased services and infrastructure improvements that keep residents satisfied.

As part of this quality of life and visitor experience, recreational and open space opportunities are key. Important needs and policies include:

• Identifying and taking action to acquire and retain open space areas; Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-9
Packet Page 136

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 8
• Maintaining park space in the City to ensure opportunities for activity, cleanliness, and visual benefit;
• Developing improvements to park and open space facilities to ensure access; and • Leveraging partnerships to ensure all park, open space, and recreational facilities are acquired, developed, and utilized.

Recommendations include supporting State legislative efforts to increase funding for programs that support these spaces, including legislative bond measures for consideration by voters. The City should support the repurposing of previous grant funds that have not been utilized so additional cycles can be solicited. Legislative efforts to revise existing grant programs to allow for additional uses that more closely align with City needs should be supported.

The City’s priority on parks and open space is evident in its work to identify opportunities and collaborate with regional partners. Several of the specific projects and funding opportunities for the City include:

• The City has a long history of working collaboratively with the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County (LCSLO) at the Pismo Preserve and remains committed to the ongoing operation and potential future additional development of the project. • The facilities and open space in Price Canyon provide an opportunity to access additional funds toward the purpose of tourism and resident quality of life. • The City will also seek to apply for funding from the programs funded by Proposition 68 or other statewide bonds to provide recreational and open space opportunities for residents and visitors as appropriate. These opportunities will contribute significantly to the City’s quality of life and economic vitality.

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-10
Packet Page 137

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 9
Public Safety and Health
As noted above in General Infrastructure, facilities for the City’s public safety services remains a very high priority, and needs and opportunities are outlined in that section. Similarly, ensuring the City has the financial resources to provide services remains key. Several areas of policy should also be considered, including:

• Ensure appropriate funding levels for identified needs of law enforcement and fire departments;
• Support policies related to data management that provide cities maximum flexibility in meeting State standards with regards to collection, accessibility, and preservation; • Ensure the ability of local law enforcement to comply and address changes to issues such criminal sentencing policies;
• Ensure the City and its officials are prepared and able to respond appropriately to disasters and emergencies, including fire prevention and suppression; and • Ensure the City is prepared to prevent, respond, and recover from public health emergencies, including but not limited to the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Recommendations include supporting State legislative efforts or Governor’s actions to provide additional budgetary and grant funding for programs that address a need identified by the City’s police and fire departments. Similarly, the City should support efforts to prevent disasters, as well as to plan for appropriate emergency response, including training for officials and funding for equipment and other response and recovery efforts.

In particular, the City should continue to support State efforts providing funding and other coordination resources for the prevention and suppression of wildfires. These efforts should include funding and support for updated mapping resources to serve in mutual aid and other suppression activities. The City should oppose any State efforts to complicate via permitting or Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-11
Packet Page 138

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 10
increasing the cost of routine fuel modification work for wildfire prevention. These include increasing labor costs related to reclassification of public works or other unnecessary changes that increase the overall cost of effective wildfire prevention. The City should support any additional permit streamlining proposals from the Legislature or the Governor for fuel modification projects. In addition, the City should support funding for technology resources for mobile emergency operation center needs and evacuation preparedness efforts, including cellular and internet connectivity infrastructure.

The City should also support legislative efforts to improve fire safety, emergency notification, and more effective policing without compromising officer or resident safety.

Recommendations also include preparing the City and its residents for future health emergencies similar to the COVID-19 pandemic. The City should continue to support efforts by the Governor and State Legislature to provide funding to local jurisdictions with flexibility for the use of that funding to support a variety of needs unique to each jurisdiction, including the continuation of public services and personnel, backfill for lost tax revenue, and to support State and county public health outreach and efforts. The City should also support efforts to assist communities such as Pismo Beach with a significant reliance on tourism to ensure public services are not severely impacted by the loss of transient occupancy and sales tax revenues. The City should support direct funding and resource allocations to municipal governments, instead of at county or statewide levels, allowing for the rapid deployment of such items as personal protective equipment and other critical materials and funding.

Housing and Homelessness
The State Legislature and Governor continue to work on solutions to the State’s crisis regarding the availability and affordability of housing. In many areas of the State, local communities are either struggling with a lack of available housing, or with prices so high as to make Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-12
Packet Page 139

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 11
homeownership prohibitive, or both. Reports by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and other housing stakeholders have noted concerns with “local barriers” to effectively addressing this housing situation and concerns about methodologies for the establishment of impact fees among other local policy authorities.

Every community is different, and for the City, there are several policies to consider:
• Ensure local permitting and regulatory processes do not serve as barriers to an appropriate amount of available housing;
• Examine housing affordability so families and individuals can own or rent as they choose; • Ensure there is available workforce housing to ensure a quality of life is available for all residents and individuals contributing to the City’s economy. • Ensure that appropriate economic development incentives exist to promote housing as a desirable land use policy

Recommendations include supporting State legislative efforts to streamline the development of housing, while protecting the City’s permitting, impact fee, and regulatory processes. The City should support efforts to provide funding mechanisms for developing housing and other related infrastructure, as well as funding for effective housing development and ownership programs.

The City should support efforts to provide funding for grant programs that connect housing with employment, recreation, schools, and public services. Furthermore, the City should support retooling the RHNA process to ensure that local impacts are being considered and housing production and zoning is conducted in a mindful, impactful, and regional way. The City should also support funding and policy modifications that require additional staffing resources be deployed by HCD to ensure uniformity within the housing element compliance and review process.

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-13
Packet Page 140

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 12
The future of housing funding remains very much uncertain. While the Legislature and Governor have approved a significant amount of housing-related legislation over the last few years, the 2018 voter-approved housing bond and other mechanisms in these efforts are untested and their effectiveness in addressing the housing crisis remains to be seen. Additionally, new housing bonds have been proposed in many of the recent legislative sessions. For the City, options to consider may include:
• Creation of funding mechanisms such as financing districts and tax increment proposals that have the benefits and potential for guaranteed revenue streams; • Cap and Invest funding through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, which emphasizes higher density housing developments with a high degree of connectivity to jobs and transit; and
• Potential funding from the State through budgetary agreements between the Governor and Legislature.

The City should support efforts to harmonize and seek legislation mandating changes in land use to promote housing with the Coastal Act. The Coastal Act must be followed, but often conflicts with State law without much clarity on navigating between the two sets of regulations. Efforts should be made to ensure that moving forward, this conflict is addressed by future legislation.

Economic Vitality and Quality of Life
Many of the subject areas described in this platform, if not all, play key roles in the economic vitality of the City: parks and open space provide recreational opportunities, well-maintained infrastructure provides clean water and easily-navigated streets, and public safety provides peace of mind. Priorities areas to consider include:

• Ensuring the business climate is positive and able to attract and retain businesses that provide quality employment opportunities and good products and services; • Ensuring public infrastructure is adequate for business development needs; Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.A-14
Packet Page 141

2026 State Legislative Agenda Page 13
• Supporting tourism and visitors while maintaining the quality of life for residents; and • All opportunities for economic investment and sustainability activities are pursued.

Recommendations include supporting State legislative efforts to create and foster community incentives for financing of public improvements. The City should support legislative and administrative efforts to improve the activities at GO-Biz which could benefit the City. Similarly, the City should support funding programs to support local transportation planning efforts to help circulation, parking, and other specific plan elements. The City should support additional legislative efforts to provide a framework for short-term vacation rentals that protects local control and accessibility to data, while ensuring the City captures all transient occupancy taxes.

Given the City’s status as a destination for visitors and tourism, enhancing the visitor experience is key to helping drive the City’s economic vitality. Several efforts and opportunities are below:

• The City continues to maximize the potential for places such as Pismo Preserve and Price Canyon by pursuing funding opportunities in collaboration with regional partners. These efforts will result in increased accessibility to recreational and educational opportunities. • The City continues to pursue and support the reintroduction of the Pismo Clam and potential funding from sources such as the Natural Resources Agency and Ocean Protection Council that may help with those efforts. Reintroduction of the clam will provide yet another opportunity for the City to showcase one of its best resources to visitors.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #12.B
Meeting Date: January 20, 2026

TITLE:

Introduction (First Reading) of an Ordinance Amending Municipal Code Relating to Business Licensing

RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce an Ordinance amending Chapter 5.04: Business Licenses Generally, of the City of Pismo Beach Municipal Code.

DISCUSSION:

On September 16, 2025, the City Council discussed the history and purpose of business licenses, the City’s current audit and enforcement of business licenses consistent with statewide practices, and the gross receipts-based taxation as a fair and standard method across California cities, reflecting the scale of business activity and aligning the impact of businesses with the services they receive.

As a result of that discussion and concerns raised by various commercial property building owners, staff has reviewed the current Pismo Beach Municipal Code Chapter

5.04 Business Licenses and recommends making several changes to the Code to update outdated provisions, improve administrative clarity, align the ordinance with current business practices, and modernize the City’s processes for business licensing, reporting, and compliance. On December 10, 2025, staff held a meeting for the commercial property owners to share the draft ordinance with the proposed changes and addressed any questions or concerns.

History of Business Licenses
The City adopted its first business license ordinance (Ordinance O-001) on May 20, 1946, establishing a system of license requirements and fees. Over the following decades, amendments were made to include new rates and business types. The most significant update occurred on March 9, 1987, when the City Council adopted Ordinance O-1987- 10, creating the current gross receipts–based payment structure codified in Chapter 5.04 of the Municipal Code. Since that time, only minor updates have been made. The Municipal Code specifies flat rates for certain types of businesses that are specifically listed in the Code as having flat rates. Similarly, the Municipal Code specifies a per-unit rate for residential rentals. However, for businesses that are not specifically subject to a flat or per-unit rate, the rate is based on the gross receipts of the business.

Purposes of Business Licenses
Business licenses provide numerous purposes to benefit the City, business owners, consumers, and the community at large, including:
 Provide regulatory oversight, ensuring compliance with zoning, building, fire, and health/safety codes.
 Supply accurate information for public safety and emergency response, enabling first responders to know what businesses are operating and where.

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.B-1
Packet Page 143

Offer consumer protection, assuring the public that businesses meet minimum City standards and providing accountability for fraudulent or unsafe practices. Promote equity among businesses, ensuring that all businesses, including home- based and rental property businesses, contribute fairly to services they use. Facilitate community engagement, providing the City with up-to-date contact information for outreach regarding policy changes, emergencies, or economic development.

Revenues from business licenses support the City’s General Fund, which provides essential services including police and fire protection, street and sidewalk maintenance, public facilities, and restrooms.

Proposed Changes to Business License Ordinance Chapter 5.04 The following lists the proposed changes to Pismo Beach Municipal Code Section 5.04, which provides a more clear, enforceable, and more modern business license framework for the City. These updates improve administrative efficiency, reduce confusion for applicants, and establish fair and consistent standards for all businesses operating within the City.

Modernized Definitions and Terminology
Updated and reorganized definitions to improve clarity and consistency (e.g., “Administrator,” “Applicant,” “Licensee,” “Licensing Year,” “Gross Receipts”). Added definitions to reflect current business types and practices. Clarified the meaning of “Gross Receipts” and added examples/exclusions to ensure accurate reporting to more thoroughly define what is included and excluded from “gross receipts.”
o Added clarification that gross receipts must be calculated separately for each person conducting business, even when operating from the same location. o Provided a specific example addressing commercial rental operations and tenant revenues.
Updated section 5.04.180 to clarify Rental unit operations are “Residential” rental unit operations.

Evaluated and updated enforcement and police powers provisions:
Removed references to police officers making arrests for the violation of any provisions in this chapter and the entire section 5.04.140 Duty of police officers Expanded Administrative Authority and Compliance Tools, strengthening the Administrator's authority to:
o Request supporting financial records for up to three years after license issuance.
o Delegate administrative functions to staff or contractors. o Issue administrative guidance that is binding on delegated agents. o Added new provisions outlining how businesses may request Administrator review when a third-party contractor issues a determination. Updated Appeal Procedures, by modernizing and clarifying the appeal framework:

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.B-2
Packet Page 144

o Added a clear distinction between appeals related to non-payment vs. administrative decisions.
o Established a specific procedure for appealing disputes over calculated tax amounts to the City Manager.
o Provided timelines, documentation requirements, and the finality of determinations.

Updated, modernized, and eliminate unnecessary language:
Removed outdated language and corrected inconsistencies. Updated terminology to reflect current City structure and administrative processes. Streamlined Application & Renewal Requirements, including revising application requirements to allow online submission, clarifying first-year licensing procedures, including how estimates of gross receipts are provided and validated.

Clean up codification and section numbering and references Reorganized several sections for better flow and clarity, and eliminated language no longer relevant to modern business operations or City administrative practices. Updated section numbers and references
Alternatives
The City Council may introduce the ordinance as proposed, modify the ordinance and introduce it as amended, or take no action, in which case the existing ordinance would remain in effect.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce an ordinance (Attachment 1) implementing changes to various provisions of Pismo Beach Municipal Code Chapter

5.04 Business Licenses Generally. If the Council acts to introduce the Ordinance as recommended, it will be returned for adoption at the next available meeting and will become effective by statute 30 days thereafter.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no immediate fiscal impact of introducing this ordinance as there are no changes to the business license rates.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #12.C
Meeting Date: January 20, 2026
TITLE:

Public Safety Facility Update; Contract Amendments with Vanir Construction Management, Earth Systems Pacific, and CLAD Consulting; Agreement with EyeP Solutions for Services Related to the Project
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute the following contract amendments related to the Public Safety Facility:

1. Contract Amendment #3 with Vanir Construction Management, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $171,980 for additional Construction in Management Services; and

2. Contract Amendment #1 with Earth Systems Pacific in an amount not to exceed $56,288.75 for additional Special Inspection and Materials Testing Services; and

3. Contract Amendment #1 with CLAD Consulting, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $16,400 for additional Project Management, Coordination and Inspection Services; and

2. Ratifying the Vendor Agreement with EyeP Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $132,138.52 for purchase of four consoles for the dispatch center.

DISCUSSION:

On July 18, 2023, the City Council awarded a contract for construction of a Public Safety Facility as part of the Council’s goal to enhance public safety service to the community.

The project is currently anticipated to be completed in April 2026, approximately four months longer than originally anticipated. Due to the extension of the construction period, existing contracts with consultants working on the project also need to be extended to account for the additional work required to bring the project to completion.

Construction Management Services
On May 18, 2021, the City Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement with Vanir Construction Management, Inc. (Vanir) in the amount of $1,220,529 for Owner’s Representative and Construction Management Services for the Public Safety Facility.

Amendment #1 to the agreement was executed April 19, 2024 in the amount of $55,296 for continuation of construction management services related to the updated construction timeline. This amendment was executed under the City Manager’s authority in line with the City’s Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual. Amendment #2 was executed on August 22, 2025 and extended the expiration date of the agreement to June 30, 2026.

Based on the current construction schedule, Vanir has provided an amendment request to continue construction management services through project completion. The proposed Council Agenda 1-20-2026 12.C-1
Packet Page 171

Amendment #3 (Attachment 2) is for an amount not to exceed $171,980 and will bring the total Vanir contract cost to $1,447,805.

Special Inspection and Materials Testing Services
On July 16, 2024, the City Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement with Earth Systems Pacific in the amount of $276,430 to perform Special Inspection and Materials Testing Services to verify compliance with the project plans and specifications.

Based on the current construction schedule, Earth Systems Pacific has provided an amendment request to continue special inspection and materials testing services through project completion. The proposed Amendment #2 (Attachment 3) is for an amount not to exceed $56,288.75 and will bring the total Earth Systems Pacific contract cost to $332,718.75.

Project Management, Coordination and Inspection Services On May 2, 2024, a Professional Services Agreement with CLAD Consulting, Inc. (CLAD) was executed in the amount of $40,000 to perform project management, project coordination and inspection services for work in the City right-of-way. This agreement was executed under the Director of Public Works authority in line with the City’s Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual. Based on the current construction schedule, CLAD has provided an amendment request to continue project management, project coordination and inspection services for work in the City right-of-way through project completion. The proposed Amendment #2 (Attachment 4) is for an amount not to exceed $16,400 and will bring the total CLAD contract cost to $56,400.

Police Dispatch Consoles
To reduce overall project costs and avoid contractor markups where feasible, staff identified a qualified vendor through a government purchasing contract to provide four consoles for the dispatch center. The vendor, EyeP Solutions, Inc. provided a quote in the amount of $132,138.52. The City’s Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual mandates City Council approval for payments over $100,000, which typically must undergo a competitive procurement process. However, the policy allows for “piggyback” purchases such as this one upon recommendation of the City Manager since the government purchasing contract was already competitively bid. The lead time for ordering, fabrication, and delivery of the consoles is approximately twelve weeks. In order to avoid delaying the project and prevent potential additional costs associated with a delay, the City Manager authorized the purchase of the consoles on December 16, 2025.

A contract was executed with EyeP Solutions, Inc. on December 17, 2025 (Attachment 5) and adoption of the attached resolution will ratify this procurement.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment #3 with Vanir, Contract Amendment #1 with Earth Systems Pacific, and Contract Amendment #1 with CLAD to continue services through completion of the Public Safety Facility, and ratifying the vendor agreement with EyeP Solutions, Inc. for purchase of four consoles for the dispatch center.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of adopting the attached resolution is $244,668.75 for professional services contract amendments and $132,138.52 for a new vendor agreement for purchase of the dispatch center consoles. The Fiscal Year 2026 Public Safety Facility project budget has sufficient budget to support these items.

PROJECT: PISMO BEACH PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY
1000 BELLO STREET

PISMO BEACH, CALIFORNIA
SUBJECT: Proposal for Additional Special Inspection and Materials Testing Services Dear Mr. Eldridge:

As requested, we have prepared this proposal for additional special inspection and materials testing services during construction of the Pismo Beach Public Safety Facility. Based upon the schedule provided at the beginning of the project for preparation of our estimate, the project was scheduled to be completed by November 2025. Based upon the current schedule, the project is anticipated to be completed by March 2026. While the majority of the vertical building construction requiring special inspection and testing has been completed, there are some minor inspections that are still required. The exterior improvements have great work remaining. These include site retaining wall construction and backfill as well as fine grading and associated flatwork and paving; on and off site. We have used the contractor’s schedule to estimate the additional inspections required. We have also reviewed the amount of special inspection and testing performed over the last four months, which averaged approximately $15,000.00, to confirm the estimated hours are consistent with the work being done and to be completed. Most of this work is estimated on a periodic basis. However, we have included full time scheduling for paving operations.

Based upon our review of the original quotation, work performed and billed, and the proposed remaining work, we estimate the additional fees will be $56,288.75; a breakdown is attached.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at your convenience.

Sincerely,
Earth Systems Pacific
