PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAF REPOR
Agenda Item #12.A
Meetin Date: October 6, 2026

TITLE:

Capital Improvement Program Semi-Annual Report

RECOMMENDATION:

No action recommended; for information only.

DISCUSSION:

The Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is one of the most important planning documents for the City of Pismo Beach. This plan not only identifies immediate needs but also seeks to capture the long-term capital requirements of the City. Capital projects are typically projects that lead to the acquisition and/or construction of new assets or the improvement or extension of the useful life of existing capital assets. Capital assets include but are not limited to land, facilities, buildings, parks, playground equipment, streets and sidewalks, bridges, water, wastewater and storm drain infrastructure, technology systems and equipment, traffic control devices, and many other items that deliver public benefit for a prolonged period of time. This report will provide an update on CIP projects currently in progress.

Completed Projects

Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Utility Undergrounding
The project included undergrounding of the overhead utility lines along the bluff on Cliff Avenue and Ocean Boulevard in the vicinity of the Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Storm Drain Repair project. A Notice of Completion was approved by the City Council on September 15, 2026.

Dinosaur Caves Playground Expansion
The project expanded the footprint of the play area and installed the friendship swing in a new location. Construction was completed and the final playground inspection was completed in August 2026.

Public Safety Facility
At both the police and the fire station, the final electrical and long lead items, cabinets, and lockers are being installed. Remaining contract items and commissioning of building mechanical and HVAC systems is ongoing. Overall, the buildings warranty work is progressing, and building move in, emergency dispatch call center, and decommissioning of the old temporary facilities is progressing as scheduled with final contract notice of completion expected in December 2026.

Storm Drain Sink Hole Repairs
 James Way and Capanna Street: Repair and restoration of a damaged 36-inch corrugated metal storm drain crossing James Way.

Council Agenda 10-6-2026 12.A-1
Packet Page 126

 Encanto Avenue and Shell Beach Road. Repair and restoration of a damaged 24- inch corrugated metal storm drain crossing Shell Beach Road.

Studies and Planning Documents
The City’s efforts to plan and prioritize construction projects also include the preparation of studies and planning documents that provide recommendations for future infrastructure improvements. Currently there are six of these plans that are ongoing and in the process of completion: the Sewer Master Plan, Urban Water Management Plan, Water Master Plan, Facilities Condition Assessment, Vision Zero Action Plan and ADA Transition Plan.

The Sewer System Management Plan has been completed in compliance with the City’s regulatory permit.

Sewer Master Plan (SMP)
The SMP provides a prioritized list of capital improvements related to the sanitary sewer system. This document was last updated in 2000. The consultant is currently working on the population projections and flow evaluations and compiling the data from recently completed collection system evaluations. Using the data projections and the evaluations the Consultant will identify capital improvement projects necessary to meet current and future wastewater system requirements.

Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)
The SSMP provides a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system for regulatory compliance. The 2026 SSMP update evaluates the effects of growth, densification, and conservation on the City’s sewer collection system and identifies long-term strategies to renew existing assets, long term planning and capital improvement recommendations. The 2026 SSMP was adopted by City Council on April 21, 2026.

Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Master Plan (WMP) The UWMP provides long-term water resources planning and demonstrates water supply reliability under normal as well as drought conditions. The current UWMP was developed in 2020 and is required to be updated following the California Department of Water Resources guidance to remain in compliance with California Water Code requirements.

The WMP evaluates the water system to identify capital improvement projects necessary to meet current and future water system requirements. The plan was last updated in 2020.

The consultant is currently in the process of collecting data for both plans to develop a list of importance for future water-related capital improvement projects.

Facilities Condition Assessment
This project included preparation of a comprehensive facilities condition assessment of all City-owned facilities and a long-term facilities maintenance plan. The consultant has delivered final reports for each facility and provided the City with access to software to easily view the City’s assets, their condition, and expected maintenance costs for the next 20 years. The consultant-provided data has been uploaded to our Asset Management Council Agenda 10-6-2026 12.A-2
Packet Page 127

Program. Staff will bring the final report to the Council at a future meeting as part of the next budget development process.

ADA Transition Plan Update
Under Title II of the ADA, the City is required to have a current Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. The City contracted with Disability Access Consultants (DAC) through the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) ADA Assistance Program to complete a comprehensive update of the 2014 Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. DAC has completed its inspections of public rights-of-way, parks, and facilities and the data has be entered into the DACTrak software. Staff is currently entering estimated planned completion dates into the software for all records and anticipate all projected dates will be entered in the next six months. DAC is also working on the programmatic evaluation of policies, procedures, and practices. The initial draft was provided to staff for review in late September.

Vision Zero Action Plan
Staff secured a grant through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)’s Safe Streets and Roads for All program to complete a Vision Zero Action Plan. The plan will identify and prioritize projects that will eliminate or reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries.

Staff anticipates releasing an RFP in November 2026, with consultant selection in January 2027.

Citywide Engineering & Traffic Study (Speed Survey)
The City routinely prepares Speed Surveys to justify posted speed limits and enable the Police Department to enforce these limits using electronic devices. California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 40802 requires Speed Surveys to be updated every 7 to 14 years.

This project will update the City’s Speed Surveys, which was last approved in 2020.

Contract documents with a traffic engineering consultant are currently being prepared.

Title VI Plan Update
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. A consultant has been retained to perform an evaluation of and update to the City’s plan to ensure compliance with all federal requirements. It is anticipated the update will be completed by February 2027.

Under Construction

Ventana Sports Courts
Located on Ventana Drive (Ventana Sports Courts) the project consists of construction of one new tennis and two new pickleball courts, a parking lot and a crosswalk connecting Chumash Park to the Ventana Courts. The project is progressing with recent activity including paving of the courts on September 23, 2026.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAF REPOR
Agenda Item #12.B
Meetin Date: October 6, 2026

TITLE:

Award of Design-Build Contract and Amendment #1 to the Owner’s Advisor Contract for the Central Coast Blue Project

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with PERC Water Corporation in an amount not to exceed $39,790,682 for the construction of the Central Coast Blue Advanced Water Purification Facility and appropriating related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year 2027;

2. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment #1 to the existing Professional Services Agreement with GHD, Inc. for Owner’s Advisor services for the Central Coast Blue Project in an amount not to exceed $2,233,433.

DISCUSSION:

At the October 15, 2025, Joint Meeting of the Pismo Beach City Council, Pismo Beach Financing Agency Board of Directors, and Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority Board of Directors, staff received direction to proceed with fixed-price Design- Build as the procurement delivery model for the design and construction of the Central Coast Blue Project (Project) and to procure an Owner’s Advisor.

Design-Build Team Procurement
On April 3, 2026, the City issued a Request for Statements of Qualifications for Design- Build Services for the Central Coast Blue Project. On May 8, 2026, the following three firms submitted Statement of Qualifications (SOQs):

 Filanc
 GSE Construction Company, Inc.
 PERC Water Corporation

After a thorough vetting process, all three firms were deemed qualified to participate further.

On June 15, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Design-Build Services for the Central Coast Blue Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF). The RFP was by invitation to the three firms who had submitted qualifying SOQs.

On August 13, 2026, the City received proposals from the three qualified firms. All three firms submitted quality proposals, but after an evaluation process that included a two- hour interview with each firm, PERC Water Corporation (PERC) was determined to have submitted the best overall proposal.

Council Agenda 10-6-2026 12.B-1
Packet Page 139

While there was a slight price difference between the two lowest-cost Design-Build teams (~3.7%), both proposals were within the City's budget. Consistent with the fixed-price Design-Build delivery model and the complexity of the Project, the evaluation process appropriately prioritized qualifications, technical merit, risk reduction, and delivery confidence, while fully accounting for price through the established scoring methodology.

The intent has been to build a 500 acre-foot-per-year (AFY) AWPF that is expandable to 750 AFY at a future date. Given that the Design-Build team will already be at the site, staff asked them to provide an estimate for accelerating the plan and installing the necessary equipment at the plant as well as a stub out for future needs, should they be required.

There were two options considered. Option A would have PERC proceed with the current 500 AFY plant and the City could revisit the expansion at a later date. Staff asked PERC for an estimate to remobilize two years after the plant is constructed; that estimate is roughly $6 million.

Option B would have PERC execute the expansion to 750 AFY during this project; the proposed cost is $3,500,804. The ability to perform the expansion now, at a much lower cost than in the future will allow the City to keep the cost of water lower than performing it under a new contract two or more years after this project is completed. Staff is recommending that the City proceed with Option B, which has been included in the contract cost. PERC’s Fixed-Price Design-Build price is $39,790,682 for Option B.

Owner’s Advisor Services
On November 20, 2025, the City issued a formal Request for Qualifications/Proposals to acquire the services of a qualified firm to serve as the Owner’s Advisor for the Project.

On February 3, 2026, the Pismo Beach City Council approved the award of a contract for Owner’s Advisor Services to GHD, Inc. (GHD) in an amount not to exceed $461,438.

As the project Owner Advisor, GHD led the development of the Design Criteria Report (DCR) and compiled all supporting documentation, Design-Build RFQ/P and rating criteria, while ensuring alignment with project goals and risk management best practices.

GHD maintained a detailed risk register for the project, led efficient and effective team meetings and evaluated and responded to numerous Requests for Information throughout the procurement process. GHD has effectively performed as the Owner’s Advisor throughout this process.

While the process of selecting an Owner’s Advisor included the entire project, the current contract was awarded for the procurement process only. Staff recommends the amendment of the GHD contract for the next phase.

On September 22, 2026, GHD submitted a proposal for continued Owner’s Advisor Services through completion of the Project. The proposed Amendment #1 (Attachment 4) in the amount of $2,233,443 will cover the actual Design-Build process through to Council Agenda 10-6-2026 12.B-2

completion. This amendment also includes the expansion to 750 AFY and the transfer of the Well 31 project to PERC.

Future Contracts
Well 31
The award of the Design-Build contract and amendment to the Owner’s Advisor contract are necessary to begin the work immediately. Staff will be returning with an additional contract with PERC for the completion of the new extraction well, Well 31.

The City commenced with the design of Well 31 earlier this year because the condition of Well 23 is tenuous, and staff could not be sure of the outcome of the Project procurement process. Had this not been the case, the design and construction of Well 31 would have been included in the Project. Now that a reasonable price has been secured for the Project, staff has re-evaluated the risk of continuing the design-bid-build path vs. combining Well 31 with the Project.

The risk of the current approach is that once the Well 31 project goes out to bid, the risk of either not receiving any bids or receiving bids that are too high to proceed are concerns.

Additionally, once the project goes into construction, delays or other complications could further delay commissioning of the well. The larger risk is that the Project could potentially be operational before the new Well 31 is prepared to begin extracting water from the aquifer. This is not a risk that is worth taking.

The City has a separate budget for the design and construction of Well 31, and incorporating this work into the current Project is not anticipated to result in additional cost. Knowing that this would be a possibility, an Addendum was issued during the RFP solicitation process to ensure all proposers were aware of the potential additional scope.

PERC will provide a cost proposal once data from the test well currently in progress has been obtained.

Construction Management
When the Project moves into the construction phase in the spring of 2027, a Construction Management (CM) team will become necessary. A Design-Build contract is somewhat different than a design-bid-build contract in that there will not be constructability reviews.

It will be the responsibility of the Design-Build team to design a Project that can be constructed within their budget and meet all of the performance criteria in the contract.

CM will still be important; we will have off-site work in roadways, and tunneling beneath 4th Street, Highway 1 and the Railroad to connect to the outfall. On-site there will need to be record of materials and soils testing, ensuring that all materials meet specifications and Buy America Build America requirements, as well as ensuring labor compliance and other federal regulations. The CM will also enforce safety compliance and traffic control/impacts. It is estimated that the cost of CM will be approximately 5% of the Design- Build contract or $1,989,534.

Council Agenda 10-6-2026 12.B-3

Building Permit Plan Check
While the building site is located in Grover Beach, as a municipal corporation that owns property in another jurisdiction, the City may perform its own building permit inspections and issue a building permit. The City of Grover Beach is agreeable to the City taking this approach. The contract to perform building permit plan check is anticipated to be under $30,000.

Plan Check and Inspections to be Performed by Others
The City of Grover Beach will perform plan check and inspection of public improvements such as sidewalk, road work in its rights-of-way, as well as connections to their sewers and waterlines. Grover Beach will also approve traffic control and stormwater plans. The County of San Luis Obispo, Caltrans, and Union Pacific Railroad would review any plans related to work in their respective rights-of-way. Any work in the Railroad right-of-way will require a full-time flagger with per diem and travel expenses. Additionally, Five Cities Fire Authority will review for conformance with fire codes. The cost estimate for all agencies is $100,000.

Future Personnel Costs
Central Coast Blue will be an addition to the City’s operations and will require additional staff to operate legally and safely. Based on careful analysis and the experience of other agencies consulted, it is anticipated that three new Operators will be required once the AWPF is fully operational. When the plant is fully online, the half-time administrative position at the Wastewater Treatment Plant may need to be converted to a full-time position. The following additional staff with Advanced Water Treatment Operator (AWTO) certifications will be required:
One Chief Plant Operator with an AWTO 5 certificate
Two Operators with AWTO 3 certificates
Rather than seeking to hire AWTO certified Operators from the outside, the City intends to first provide existing Operators with the opportunity to certify. The City’s Utilities Manager will obtain their AWTO 3 and will then have three years to obtain their AWTO 5, according to recent conversations with the state. Current Operators who possess a Grade 3 Wastewater or Grade 3 Water Treatment certificate qualify to take the AWTO 3. Even so, if three of the City’s existing staff move into the new AWTO positions, those positions would need to be backfilled for Water and Wastewater.

These will be new positions with differing job duties, and requiring additional certification and will require staff to complete a separate classification and compensation study to incorporate them into the City’s Salary Schedule. Staff will return to the Council at a future date after Human Resources has conducted a classification study and the appropriate conversations with the labor union are completed.

Proposed Scope of Work
GHD will serve as the City's Owner's Advisor, reporting directly to the City’s project director throughout the delivery of the Advanced Water Purification Facility project. GHD will be providing technical, regulatory, commercial, funding, and project management support from contract execution through startup and initial operations. The purpose of these services is to help the City’s project director protect the City’s contractual interests, maintain regulatory and funding compliance, manage project risks, and support successful delivery of a reliable, operable, and permit-compliant facility. The Design-Build project is anticipated to span approximately 24 months, and GHD has added an additional 6 months of project and operational support, during which GHD will provide the services described below.

1. Task 1 Project Management
GHD will serve as the owner's representative throughout project delivery, coordination, and oversight to support successful execution of the Design-Build contract. This task focuses on maintaining alignment among the City, Design-Builder, Construction Manager, regulators, funding agencies, and other project stakeholders.

Project management services will include the following activities:
•Owner’s representative services — Serve as the City’s project directors’ primary technical advisor and coordinate City decisions, technical reviews, regulatory activities, funding requirements, and interfaces with the Design-Builder and Construction Manager. •General project management — Provide ongoing project management, internal coordination, progress monitoring, issue resolution, and management reporting. The current allowance of two days per week should be treated as a baseline rather than a cap during intensive design, permitting, testing, and acceptance periods.
•Project kick-off and alignment — Facilitate an Owner/Design-Builder/Construction Manager kickoff to confirm responsibilities, deliverables, communication pathways, decision authority, review procedures, and critical project outcomes.
•Project management plan — Develop and maintain the Owner’s project management plan covering governance, decision authority, communication, document control, schedule, budget, risk, permitting, funding, stakeholder coordination, and escalation procedures. •Weekly progress meetings — Attend weekly progress meetings; review agenda and supporting information beforehand; document Owner decisions, risks, action items, and unresolved technical or commercial issues.
•Assist with Board and council support — Prepare staff-report technical content, executive summaries, presentations, decision memoranda, and talking points for City Council, governing boards, and partner agencies.

2. Contract Requirements Management
GHD will help ensure that all contractual obligations, proposal commitments, and procurement requirements are fully understood, tracked, and implemented throughout the project. This task is intended to protect the City's contractual position, maintain fixed-price accountability, and support informed decision-making regarding changes and contract interpretations. Contract administration and compliance oversight services will include the following activities:
•Contract requirements matrix — Translate the Design-Build Agreement, General Conditions, RFP, Design Criteria Report, proposal commitments, addenda, funding conditions, permits, and environmental commitments into a traceable compliance matrix.

Attachment 4
Packet Page 151

12686474 | Proposal for Phase 2 (Design/Construction/Commissioning) Owner’s Advisor for Central Coast Blue AWPF Design Build Project 2

•Proposal commitment register — Identify every Design-Builder commitment, qualification, assumption, exclusion, allowance, proposed refinement, and “future evaluation” item in the proposal and track disposition through final design and construction. •Basis-of-price verification — Establish the accepted technical and commercial basis of the fixed price, including capacities, treatment criteria, equipment configuration, redundancy, expansion provisions, well scope, pipelines, buildings, testing, and training. •Fixed-price protection — Evaluate whether proposed clarifications, design development, equipment selections, or revised approaches are already included in the fixed-price obligations before treating them as changes.
•Contract interpretation support — Provide technical interpretation of contract requirements and coordinate with City legal counsel on formal contractual positions, notices, disputes, or entitlement questions.
•Design deviation management — Review deviations from the Design Criteria Report, RFP, proposal basis, permits, or accepted design criteria; document technical, regulatory, lifecycle, schedule, and cost implications.
•Change request evaluation — Independently evaluate technical merit, scope entitlement, cost, schedule effect, funding eligibility, and downstream consequences of Design-Builder change requests. •Owner-requested changes — Develop technical scope, performance requirements, sketches, independent cost basis, schedule impacts, and negotiation support for City-requested changes.

3. Funding Support
GHD will assist the City’s project director in maximizing available funding resources while maintaining compliance with grant, loan, and reimbursement requirements. Funding management activities will focus on strategic cost allocation, documentation, reimbursement optimization, and long-term funding tracking throughout project delivery. Funding management and reimbursement support services will include the following activities:
•Develop One Master Matrix Before Reimbursement Begins
–Project task / work package
–Invoice cost category
–Eligible funding bucket
–Preferred reimbursement source
–Backup funding source
•Develop Special Eligibility Matrix — Recommended Reimbursement Hierarchy (to use restricted grant funding first, apply match strategically, preserve flexible loan capacity, and maintain backup funding assignments for each cost)
–Start with grant-only eligible costs Use grant funds first where a cost clearly fits a narrow grant bucket.
–Apply match strategically Use eligible non-federal or loan-funded costs to satisfy match requirements where allowed.
–Preserve flexible loan capacity Avoid using loan dollars for costs that could be reimbursed by grants.
–Use backup funding assignments Every cost should have a primary and secondary funding path.
–Track remaining balance by bucket. The project should know not only total funding remaining, but remaining funding by eligible category.

Attachment 4
Packet Page 152

12686474 | Proposal for Phase 2 (Design/Construction/Commissioning) Owner’s Advisor for Central Coast Blue AWPF Design Build Project 3

•Prepare grant deliverables – Prepare Prop 1 grant deliverables Performance Assessment and Evaluation Plan (PAEP), Monitoring Plan (MP), and Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) for groundwater monitoring. Prepare first year of semi-annual and annual reports required for grant. •Invoice Coding Strategy — Invoices should be structured for reimbursement from the outset, with task-level detail, eligible cost coding, backup documentation, and review before submittal. •Funding Optimization Strategy — Funding optimization requires active allocation, not default proportional splits, so costs are assigned first to the most specific eligible grant source before using loan funds.
–Do not allocate proportionally by default: A simple percentage split may leave grant dollars unused.
–Allocate based on eligibility first: Match each cost to the source where it is most specifically eligible.
–Use grants before loan dollars: Preserve loan flexibility for costs that are not grant eligible. –Revisit the matrix monthly: Actual invoices, change orders, and remaining balances will shift the best allocation strategy.
–Coordinate funding and delivery schedule: Early work packages may need to be sequenced to meet grant deadlines or preserve reimbursement eligibility. –Funding lead review
–Monthly matrix update
–Change order funding review
–Documentation checklist
–Grant/loan compliance log

4. Project Controls and Risk Management
GHD will provide independent oversight of project schedule performance and key project risks to help keep the project on track and support timely decision-making. This effort includes schedule review, milestone forecasting, and proactive identification and management of technical, regulatory, commercial, and funding risks.

10. Operations Readiness and Training Support
GHD will help prepare City project director, operational systems, and support programs for efficient, safe, and compliant operation of the new facility. The goal is to ensure personnel, procedures, documentation, training, and support resources are in place before startup and throughout the initial operating period.

Operations readiness and training support services will include the following activities:
•Operations readiness plan — Develop a plan covering staffing, certifications, recruitment, operator involvement, SOPs, O&M documentation, maintenance systems, laboratory capability, chemicals, spares, tools, safety, and regulatory reporting.
•Staffing and certification strategy — Evaluate operator staffing levels, shifts, on-call coverage, certification requirements, recruitment timing, and interim contract-operations support. •Operator design reviews — Facilitate structured operator reviews of equipment access, maintainability, controls, sampling, chemical handling, laboratory needs, storage, safety, and day-to- day workflow.
•O&M manual review — Review completeness, consistency, system descriptions, operating limits, startup/shutdown, maintenance, troubleshooting, safety, controls, spare parts, vendor data, and regulatory requirements.
•SOP review — Review normal, startup, shutdown, emergency, off-specification, chemical delivery, membrane cleaning, well operation, sampling, calibration, and reporting procedures. •Training plan review — Review curriculum, audience, instructors, learning objectives, schedule, prerequisites, hands-on activities, recordings, materials, assessments, and make-up sessions. •Training participation and evaluation — Attend selected training sessions, track attendance, identify gaps, evaluate operator readiness, and recommend supplemental instruction.

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAF REPOR
Agenda Item #12.C
Meetin Date: October 6, 2026
TITLE:

Side Letter Agreement, Position and Salary Schedule Changes, and Budget Adjustments Related to the Tourism and Events Department and Public Works Department
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution:

1. Approving:

A. A title change and salary range adjustment for Recreation and Tourism Director;
B. Creation of Assistant Public Works Director (Temporary) as a budgeted position;
C. An updated combined salary schedule; and
D. A Side Letter Agreement to the Non-Represented Full-Time Employees Resolution; and

2. Appropriating related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year 2027.

DISCUSSION:

In support of both the Tourism and Events Department Organizational and Staffing Assessment and the start of the construction of the Central Coast Blue recycled water project, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) that will accomplish the direction of the City Council and staff’s other recommendations as follows:

Recreation and Tourism Director (Title Chage & Salary Adjustment) Per the City Council’s direction on September 29, 2026, and following an independent comprehensive assessment of the Tourism and Events Department, this resolution will change the department Director’s title to Recreation and Tourism Director to better align with current departmental functions and responsibilities. The job specifications (Attachment 1.A) will remain consistent as the position was already responsible for overseeing both the Recreation and Tourism Divisions. This recommendation aligns the position classification with other City director-level positions and adjusts the salary range accordingly to assist in the future recruiting efforts.

Assistant Public Works Director (Temporary) Position Creation Staff recommends the addition of a new temporary mid-management classification, Assistant Public Works Director (Temporary, At-Will), intended to support critical operational and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) oversight functions within the Public Works Department. This temporary classification is recommended in response to the increased project management and construction oversight demands associated with the Central Coast Blue (CCB) project. As CCB advances into major construction phases, the Council Agenda 10-6-2026 12.C-1
Packet Page 159

Public Works Director will be required to dedicate substantial time and attention to CCB project management and direction.

By adding the Assistant Public Works Director on a temporary basis, the City can strategically separate duties to ensure both continuity and stability across essential Public Works operations and allow succession planning over the next four years. This will ensure adequate time for the construction, regulatory startup, and legal phases of the project which will be the focus of the Public Works Director.

The Assistant Public Works Director will assume day-to-day oversight of Engineering and Operations (Streets, Parks, Fleet, Facilities), interdepartmental coordination, and support for CIP development per the new job specifications (Attachment 1.B). This realignment will allow the Public Works Director to concentrate fully on CCB’s complex technical, regulatory, and multijurisdictional components, with a continued focus on the Utilities Division. This will strengthen the City’s ability to deliver CCB successfully while maintaining high service levels across all Public Works functions.

Combined Salary Schedule Update
The combined salary schedule (Attachment 1.C) has been updated to reflect the recommended changes in position classifications and compensation for both the Recreation and Tourism Director and the Assistant Public Works Director (Temporary).

Side Letter Agreement (Non-Represented Employees FT Employee’s) Update Staff recommends the Side Letter Agreement (Attachment 1.D) to amend the Non- Represented Full-Time Employees Wage & Benefits Resolution. This agreement incorporates the recommended position changes and salary schedule adjustments as outlined above and includes the creation of a project incentive compensation program.

This would allow the Public Works Director to receive special project compensation of up to five percent (5%) above their base salary for the duration of the assignment.

Conclusion and Recommendation
The recommended changes to the Recreation and Tourism Director position are based on the findings of an independent assessment of departmental functions. Establishing the Assistant Public Works Director (Temporary) position is intended to ensure the City’s needs for the Central Coast Blue project are fully addressed, while ensuring the continuity of high service levels across all Public Works functions. The project incentive compensation program is crafted to support the City’s evolving organizational structure and operational requirements. By adopting these measures, the City will align leadership roles with departmental responsibilities, meet critical project management demands, and allocate financial resources in a manner that promotes success into the future.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution (Attachment 1) approving:

1. Title change and salary range adjustment for Recreation and Tourism Director (currently TED Director);

2. Creation of Assistant Public Works Director (Temporary) as a budgeted position;

3. An updated combined salary schedule; and
Council Agenda 10-6-2026 12.C-2
Packet Page 160

4. A Side Letter Agreement to the Non-Represented Employees Full-Time Employee’s Resolution; and
appropriating related budget adjustments for Recreation and Tourism Director and Assistant Public Works Director (Temporary) in Fiscal Year 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of changing the Tourism and Events Director position Range 56 Step E to a Recreation and Tourism Director Range 61 Step C is estimated to be an additional cost to the General Fund of $2,851 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 for half of the year and $5,703 for a full year.

The fiscal impact of adding a new Assistant Public Works Director (Temporary) position Range 57 Step C, including overhead costs is an estimated additional cost of $165,599 in FY 2027 for half of the year and $314,234 for a full year. Of this amount, 75% is allocated to the General Fund, 15% is allocated to the Wastewater Enterprise Fund, and 10% is allocated to the Water Enterprise Fund.

The fiscal impact of adding an additional 5% to the Public Works Director position is an additional $10,268 in FY 2027 for 8.5 months and an additional $14,496 for a full year across all funds. If this position is fully supported by the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds to support the Central Coast Blue project, then there will be budget savings in the General Fund and budgeted expenditure increases in the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds.

The fiscal impact for all three changes is $162,754 in FY 2027 across all funds. Staff recommends appropriating the following amounts in FY 2027 listed in Table 1, while future year costs would be included in the next two-year budget.
