SUBJECT: Adoption of a Housing Authority Resolution Approving the Housing Successor Agency Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Operating Budget and Appropriation of Funds for Fiscal 2025-2026
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg (Successor Agency) has prepared the operating budgets for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 for the Successor Agency and the Housing Successor Agency (HSA), and is presenting them to their governing boards for review, consideration, and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Successor Agency’s budget, as adopted by the Contra Costa County Oversight Board (Countywide Oversight Board) and approved by the Department of Finance (DOF) for FY 2025/26, estimates revenues to be $31,858,350 and expenditures to be $31,858,350.
The HSA’s budget for FY 2025/26 estimates revenues to be $323,668 and expenditures to be $492,830. The HSA’s fund balance will be used to satisfy the budget deficit of $169,162.
RECOMMENDATION
The Governing Board of the Successor Agency approve the Successor Agency’s operating budget and appropriate funds for FY 2025/26.
The Governing Board of the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburg approve the HSA’s operating budget, appropriate funds for FY 2025/26, and use the HSA's fund balance to satisfy the budget deficit.
BACKGROUND
On June 29, 2011, the Governor signed into law the Dissolution Act, which automatically suspended redevelopment activities, and on December 29, 2011, the California State Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the Dissolution Act, thereby dissolving all 14 redevelopment agencies, including the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg on February 1, 2012. While redevelopment successor agencies may not initiate any new activities nor incur new indebtedness, they are nevertheless required under legislative statute and court order to continue making those payments necessary for day-to- day operations pursuant to contractual commitments/enforceable obligations, regulatory authorities, and indebtedness entered into prior to the enactment of the Dissolution Act.
Pursuant to the Dissolution Act, the City elected to transfer to the Housing Authority and the Housing Authority elected to accept the transfer of all rights, responsibilities, and function related to housing previously performed by the Agency. On June 27, 2012, the Governor signed into law budget trailer bill AB 1484. AB 1484 imposed new requirements on successor agencies with regard to the submittal of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS).
Budget trailer bill SB 107 was approved and signed by the Governor and took immediate effect on September 22, 2015. The primary purpose of SB 107 is to make technical and substantive amendments to the existing Dissolution Act. Health & Safety Code Section 34177, as amended, changed the review of ROPS from semi-annual to annual. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179 (j), on and after July 1, 2018, in each county where more than one oversight board was created, there shall be only one countywide oversight board.
As of July 1, 2018, the DOF only recognizes the Countywide Oversight Board. The Successor Agency’s ROPS and other actions may not be submitted to the DOF without the Countywide Oversight Board’s approval.
The ROPS for the period of July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026 (ROPS 2025/26) was submitted by Minute Order to the Governing Board of the Successor Agency on December 16, 2024. On January 27, 2025, the Countywide Oversight Board adopted Resolution 2025-09, approving ROPS 2025/26, which was later approved by the DOF in a letter dated April 4, 2025.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The Successor Agency and HSA’s budgets were not presented to the Finance Management Subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
ROPS 2025/26 consists of debt service related expenses, administrative expenses, and other eligible enforceable obligations. The Successor Agency has been approved to receive a total of $31,858,350 from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF), which will be disbursed to the Successor Agency in two disbursements: (A) $16,037,750 and (B) $15,820,600. RPTTF disbursements are received in the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund (Fund 799), which are then transferred out to various Successor Agency funds to pay for debt service related expenses, administrative expenses, and other eligible enforceable obligations.
The HSA maximizes its ability to provide affordable housing opportunities to the Pittsburg community by partnering with affordable housing developers and providing financial assistance in exchange for recording regulatory agreements which restricts the residential unites as affordable for 45 years (owner-occupied) and 55-years (renter-occupied). Because oversight of HSA activities was transferred to the Housing Authority, the Governing Board of 15 the Housing Authority is the oversight body to review, consider, and approve the HSA’s budget.
The Successor Agency and the HSA’s detailed budgets are included in the City’s annual budget FY 2025/26, which must be approved and funds appropriated by July 1, 2025 to provide on-going financing for the Successor Agency and HSA’s activities during the next fiscal year.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Pittsburg Power Company Resolution Approving Rate Amendments for Electricity and Natural Gas Retail Services on Mare Island
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pittsburg Power Company (PPC) provides utility retail electric and natural gas services on Mare Island, Vallejo, under the name Island Energy (IE). PPC is proposing amendments to rates charged for electricity and natural gas delivery services to customers on Mare Island. If approved, this would be the first-rate amendment since July 1, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
The utility sales revenues based on proposed rate schedule amendments and operating cost projections have been incorporated into IE’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 budget. The proposed rate increases have been determined to be necessary for increased costs of power and natural gas procurement, personnel, equipment, and capital improvement projects.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the PPC Board open a Public Hearing, accept public comment, close the Public Hearing, consider the testimony and adopt the Resolution adopting the proposed Rate Schedules and authorize the Executive Director to take further actions as may be necessary to continuously deliver reliable services to customers on Mare Island. 20 BACKGROUND
PPC is a joint powers authority formed under and pursuant to Article 11, Section 9, of the California Constitution with the right to acquire assets, set rates, and provide utility services throughout California. PPC currently does business as Island Energy and services Mare Island in the City of Vallejo.
PPC staff prepares an annual rate case pursuant to PPC’s responsibilities to set rates for providing retail electric and natural gas services on Mare Island. IE did not increase utility rates last fiscal year (FY 2024/25).
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
The proposed rate increases were presented to City of Vallejo staff and Mayor on June 3, 2025. A meeting with residents of Mare Island was conducted on June 9, 2025 at 6:00pm on Mare Island.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Island Energy is a cost-based utility. Its cost base consists of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), personnel, administrative and overhead expenses, preventive maintenance, and system modernization costs. The rapidly surging fuel costs and increased transmission and ancillary costs, inflation, increased vandalism activities, and modernization of an aging infrastructure pose significant pressure on the current utility rates. The current utility rates are no longer sufficient to cover Island Energy’s operating expenses. A rate increase is necessary to ensure Island Energy’s operation on Mare Island remains fiscally sound.
Staff is proposing a 10% increase to the current electricity rates and daily meter rates across all customer classes and rate plans, as well as a 2% increase to the natural gas delivery rate.
- IE’s residential electric rate schedule (RES-1) is proposed to be $0.28225/kWh. (34.6% below PG&E’s average bundled residential rate and 30.7% below PG&E’s baseline residential rate as of May 29, 2025).
- IE’s general commercial electric rate (CES-1) is proposed to be $0.32449/kWh (26.7% below PG&E’s general commercial rate schedules of the same rate class, as of May 29, 2025).
- IE’s large commercial electric rate (CES-2) is proposed to be $ 0.30355/kWh (22.4% below PG&E’s Large Commercial Rate Schedules of the same rate class as of May 29, 2025).
- IE’s streetlight service electricity rate to be $0.23429/kWh (33.9% below PG&E’s Street Light Rate Schedules LS-1 and LS-2 as of May 29, 2025). 21 There are currently no customers on Rate Schedule RES-X, CES-3 and CES-4. The proposed 10% rate increase applies to these rate schedules as well.
Island Energy has not changed its natural gas delivery rate since FY 2022/23. New regulatory requirements on pipeline safety and system upgrade require new capital investment on the natural gas distribution system. Island Energy’s natural gas delivery rate is proposed to be $1.12 per Therm, a 2% increase from its current rate schedule.
If adopted, these rates would be effective July 1, 2025.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Approving the Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and Appropriation of Funds for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has prepared the operating budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 and is presenting it to the City Council for review, consideration, and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed City operating budget for FY 2025/26 has an overall estimated revenues of $260,722,863 and overall appropriations of $248,561,263. Included in these appropriations are: $62.8 million for the General Fund; $11.2 million for the Internal Service Funds; $51.8 million for Enterprise Funds; $45.7 million for Special Revenues; $5 million for Debt and Project Funds; and $31.9 million for the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg.

• Return to General Fund Reserve:

39 BACKGROUND
Staff began preparing the City’s operating budget for FY 2025/26 at the end of March 2025.
Progress on the preparation of the preliminary budget was presented to the City Council and the public at the budget workshops conducted on April 7, May 5, and June 2, 2025.
The City’s operating budget is prepared while taking into consideration the City’s Fiscal Sustainability and Reserve Funds Ordinance, established on January 22, 2013 by Ordinance 12-1363, and later amended on June 19, 2017 by Ordinance 17-1432 and on October 1, 2018 by Ordinance 18-1455. This Ordinance requires that the City maintain a Budget Stabilization Fund that is the greater of $2 million or 5% of the City’s General Fund operating budget. Operating budget is defined in the Ordinance as staff costs and operating expenses (excluding capital project costs). The Ordinance also requires that the City maintain reserves in the General Fund, Internal Service Funds, and Enterprise Funds equal to 30% of their respective operating budgets.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The preliminary budget for FY 2025/26 was presented to the Finance Management Subcommittee on April 18, 2025 and May 16, 2025.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed revenues are projected to be $260.7 million, of which approximately 24% are General Fund. The proposed expenditures are projected to be $248.6 million, of which approximately 25% are General Fund. The General Fund is the City’s main source of unrestricted revenues. This proposed overall budget supports 312 full-time equivalent employees.
The City’s General Fund reserve is $19,158,279 or 31% of its operating budget. The Budget Stabilization Fund currently has $2,445,285, a shortage of $675,391 from the required $3,120,676. The Building Maintenance Internal Service Fund is $863,870 or 27% of its operating budget, which is below the required 30% reserve. Staff will be working with the Finance Management Subcommittee to review the Budget Stabilization Fund and the reserves in the Internal Service and Enterprise Funds to ensure that the City complies with the Ordinance and to determine how best to serve the community with these funds.

* Does not include Measure M
40 While the City accounts for Measure M separately and is a sub-fund of the General Fund, the following analysis of General Fund Revenues includes Measure M.
Revenues
The City’s General Fund revenues are influenced by overall economic conditions, many of which are out of the City’s control. The total General Fund revenue projected for FY 2025/26 is $62.2 million, approximately $1.3 million more than the FY 2024/25 year-end estimate.
This is primarily due to an increase in Non-Departmental revenues which consist of various funding sources such as taxes, fees and assessments, and interest income. The General Fund’s major revenue sources include various taxes such as property, sales, and transient, franchise fees, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund disbursements, and intergovernmental revenues.
While the City is projecting an increase in its General Fund revenues, increases from sales and use tax and Measure M are projected to be modest due to uncertainties that are affecting consumer activities. While the published sales and use tax and Measure M are $12.4 million and $6.1 million respectively, the City’s consultant, Avenu Insights & Analytics Company (Avenu), is now projecting sales and use tax to be $150,000 and Measure M to be $64,000 less than what was published. Avenu, however is anticipating that the City has reached the floor and is projecting steady, albeit modest, increases in future years.
The Measure M funds generated in FY 2024/25 and their proposed programming in FY 2025/26 will be reported by the Citizen Oversight Committee to the City Council on July 7, 2025.
Total property tax revenues for FY 2025/26 increased by approximately $0.1 million (secured and supplemental taxes) when compared to the FY 2024/25 year-end estimate.
Secured property tax is the tax on the ad valorem (value) of the real estate property being assessed. Supplemental property tax is the difference between the previously assessed value and the newly assessed value upon the purchase of real estate property.
Expenditures
The City’s General Fund expenditures for FY 2025/26 is $62.8 million , an increase of $1.2 million when compared to the FY 2024/25 year-end estimate. This is primarily due to an increase of $2.1 million in personnel related costs and offset by a reduction in capital and operation expenditures totaling $0.9 million. Some of the contributing factors to the increase in personnel costs are cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), additional unfunded accrued liability (UAL), general liability and workers compensation insurance, and medical and dental insurance.
As mentioned above, fund balances in certain Internal Service and Enterprise Funds as of June 30, 2025 will be used to satisfy several fund deficits. Some of the contributing factors causing the deficits are the increase in costs due to the rising costs in utilities, the cost of contract services and supplies, and the proposed trash enclosure project by Solid Waste (Fund 210).
41 To help mitigate the budget challenges, staff’s efforts will include:
Master Fee Study – Through a request for proposal (RFP) process, a firm will be selected to conduct a study of all City services to ensure that the appropriate fees are charged and to identify services, if any, that are currently not charged but should be.
The RFP was issued May 29, 2025. It is anticipated that that a contract with a firm will be executed by August 2025.
Water/Sewer Rate Study – Staff is working with a consultant who will be studying the City’s costs on providing water and sewer services to determine the appropriate fees to charge in order to keep up with the rising costs associated with providing these services; specifically, the purchase of raw water, electricity, chemicals, and personal costs.
Staff will continue to seek operational efficiencies to minimize the operational costs whenever possible.
Staff will continue to pursue economic development opportunities to bring new businesses or expand existing businesses in Pittsburg. These efforts assist to generate new General Fund revenues.
Staff is actively and has successfully sought out various types of grants that help to finance many projects and program that benefit the community.
The City’s annual budget for FY 2025/26 must be approved and funds appropriated by July 1, 2025 to provide on-going financing for the City’s activities during the next fiscal year.
These appropriations will continue the City’s investments in the community and help to achieve the City Council Strategic Plan for FY 2025/26 that was adopted by Minute Order on April 7, 2025.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
On behalf of the Management Team and the entire City staff, I am pleased to submit the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 Annual Budget. This document includes the City’s Operating budget. The Capital Improvement budget will be adopted at a later date. Together, the two budgets will provide a comprehensive financial framework for the coming year.
The City of Pittsburg continues to increase efficiency of services, improve infrastructure, and enhance the overall quality of life for our residents. The City is continuing to grow, with an estimated population of over 76,500, and further commercial, industrial, and residential development in various stages of the development process.
The annual budget is likely the single most important fiscal document that the City Council reviews and approves, as it represents the City’s priorities for making resource investments, both for the upcoming year and in the future. As such, the budget process must include effective participation from the City Council, the public, key stakeholders, and City staff. Working together, we strive for progressive investment in our community’s future, as well as in our organization and staff, so that we can operate efficiently and effectively.
Team Pittsburg’s departments and staff collectively pulled together to propose a budget that maintains core services that Pittsburg residents and businesses expect from their local government. The commitment of Team Pittsburg – from the City Council, community, and the entire organization – in providing these services, which are critical to the City’s continued success, is the basis for the budget presented, and reflective of the City Council’s adopted goals.
Revenues for all City funds are projected to be $260.7 million for FY 2025/26, of which approximately 24% are General Fund. The City’s total expenditures are projected to be $248.6 million, of which approximately 25% are General Fund, the City’s main source of discretionary spending. This proposed budget supports 312 full-time equivalent employees.

Overview of the General Fund Proposed Operating Budget for FY2025/26 Measure M Activity
The City accounts for Measure M activity in a separate, standalone fund. This fund is a sub-fund of the General Fund. The following discussion of General Fund revenues and expenditures includes Measure M activity.
Revenues
The City’s General Fund revenues are influenced by overall economic conditions, many of which are out of the City’s control. As shown in Table 1 above, the total General Fund revenue projected for FY 2025/26 is $62.2 million, approximately $1.3 million more than the FY 2024/25 year-end estimate. This is primarily due to an increase in Non- Departmental revenues which consist of various funding sources such as taxes, fees and assessments, and interest income. The General Fund’s major revenue sources include various taxes such as property, sales, and transient, franchise fees, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund disbursements, and intergovernmental revenues. Non- Departmental revenues are approximately 71% of total General Fund revenues for FY 2025/26, as shown in Figure 1 below. The remaining 29% includes Departmental revenues such as those generated from services provided, assessments, transfers, and fees.

58 City of Pittsburg – Proposed Annual Budget FY 2025-26 pittsburgca.gov Figure 1
The City anticipates property tax revenues will increase modestly in FY 2025/26 by $133,518, when compared to the FY 2024/25 year-end estimate. Secured property tax is the tax on the ad valorem (value) of the real estate property being assessed.
Supplemental property tax is the difference between the previously assessed value and the newly assessed value upon the purchase of real estate property.
While the City is anticipating modest property tax revenue growth, this projection will be re-assessed during the year and adjusted to reflect stronger revenue growth if warranted.
The City will be engaging with a property tax revenue consultant to better estimate these revenues in the upcoming year. Figure 2 shows the actual, estimated, and projected property tax growth since 2007.
The median sale price of Pittsburg detached single-family homes from January through March 2025 (Q1) was $569,000, a decrease of $31,000 (-5.2%) from 2024 Q4. While the average home in Pittsburg is on the market for less than three weeks, new homes are regularly selling for over $1 million.
59 City of Pittsburg – Proposed Annual Budget FY 2025-26 pittsburgca.gov Figure 2
For FY 2025/26, Sales Tax revenue projections have normalized and are trending upwards by $460,000 or 3.83% when compared with FY2024/25 year-end estimates (2025 MY of $12M vs 2026 Proposed of $12.46M as published by Avenu Insights & Analytics Company), as shown in Figure 3. This is in line with sales tax trends throughout the Bay Area. Staff anticipates sales taxes to grow very slowly over the course of the next several years.
60 City of Pittsburg – Proposed Annual Budget FY 2025-26 pittsburgca.gov Figure 3
Expenditures
The City’s General Fund expenditures for FY 2025/26 are $62.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million when compared to the FY 2024/25 year-end estimate. This is primarily due to an increase of $2.1 million in personnel-related costs and offset by a reduction in capital and operation expenditures totaling $0.9 million. Some of the contributing factors to the increase in personnel costs are cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), additional unfunded accrued liability (UAL), general liability and workers compensation insurance, and medical and dental insurance.
This budget continues to see additional resources dedicated to fund the City’s pension obligation, with higher contribution rates and additional funding requirements to cover the UAL and changes initiated by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Board. These increases are the result of changes in CalPERS policies to proactively fund the current UAL over the next 15 years. Police Department expenditures account for approximately 64% of the General Fund, while the departments of Public Works, including the Engineering Division, Recreation, Community and Economic Development, Finance, Records and Council Services, which includes the City Clerk, and the Offices of the City Manager, which includes the City Council and City Treasurer, and City Attorney make up the remaining 36% as shown on Figure 4. 61 City of Pittsburg – Proposed Annual Budget FY 2025-26 pittsburgca.gov Figure 4: This chart anticipates a $3.9 million attrition, which brings the total proposed General Fund appropriations to $62.8 million.
Pensions
One of the benefits offered to City employees is participation in the CalPERS pension program. Following significant losses during the great recession and lower than projected returns on assets held for the past several years, CalPERS changed the assumptions it applied to the funding requirements of the program. These assumptions changed the term of recovery from 30 years to 15 years, lowering the discount rate (projected annual earnings rate) from 7.375% to 6.8% and shortening the amortization life from 30 years to 20 years. The resulting financial impacts of these changes will significantly increase future pension obligations, possibly resulting in reduced service levels throughout the City.
Assembly Bill 340 (AB 340) created the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) that implemented new benefit formulas and the final compensation period for employees hired on or after January 1, 2013. As of June 30, 2021, 51% of non-safety employees and 52% of safety employees are covered by PEPRA. The impacts of AB 340 will be realized as the City experiences employee attrition. The City is working on reducing this liability through employee attrition, negotiated employee contributions, and additional City contributions toward the pension obligation.

Fiscal Sustainability Ordinance
The City’s operating budget is prepared while taking into consideration the City’s Fiscal Sustainability and Reserve Funds Ordinance, established on January 22, 2013 by Ordinance 12-1363, and later amended on June 19, 2017 by Ordinance 17-1432 and on October 1, 2018 by Ordinance 18-1455. This Ordinance requires that the City maintain a Budget Stabilization Fund that is the greater of $2 million or 5% of the City’s General Fund operating budget. Operating budget is defined in the Ordinance as staff costs and operating expenses (excluding capital project costs). The Ordinance also requires that the City maintain reserves in the General Fund, Internal Service Funds, and Enterprise Funds equal to 30% of their respective operating budgets.

63 City of Pittsburg – Proposed Annual Budget FY 2025-26 pittsburgca.gov 20-year General Fund Forecast
The City budgets annually for the upcoming year. However, a longer-range 20-year forecast is used to project future fiscal measures necessary for operations. This forecast incorporates anticipated revenues from development, assessed market value and economic projections, as well as a systematically structured expenditure plan to cover current operational costs, post-retirement liabilities (Contra Costa County Employees’ Retirement Association (CCCERA), California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). Figure 6 shows the City’s 20- year forecast. The light blue and brown lines represent the City’s revenues and expenditures. The teal bars represent the City’s General Fund Balances. The yellow line represents the City’s required 30% General Fund Reserves. As long as the yellow line is below the teal bars, the City does not have a structural deficit.

Development
Pittsburg is a great place to live, work, recreate, and is filled with many talented people with a diversity of interests. The business community and the City are both committed to maintaining the tradition of working together to build a stronger community. The City Council and staff work with businesses and developers to ensure the community grows 64 City of Pittsburg – Proposed Annual Budget FY 2025-26 pittsburgca.gov at a pace that is healthy for all parties involved. Staff’s objective is to encourage expansion of existing businesses and attract new businesses that would improve the quality of life in Pittsburg.
Looking Forward
Staff will continue to streamline the City’s organization and optimize the existing workforce to meet the needs of the community. By continuing to improve efficiency and focusing on the longer-term 20-year forecast for the City’s General Fund, staff believes the City, residents, business leaders and community partners will continue to invest in and strengthen the community.
Conclusion
The FY 2025/26 Annual Budget reflects the short and long-term financial capacity of the City. It balances a variety of wants against needs, while reflecting the goals, strategic direction and plans prioritized by the City Council as the community moves forward.
I would like to thank the City Council for its guidance and support throughout the development of the budget. In addition, I would like to thank the Finance Department Budget staff and staff in all other City Departments who contributed to the Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget. I would like to give special thanks to Maria Aliotti, Assistant City Manager, Andy Wang, Assistant Finance Director, and Tracy Story, Financial Analyst for their work and expertise throughout this year’s budget process.

FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Pittsburg Power Company Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Operating Budget for Pittsburg Power Company and Island Energy, and Appropriation of Funds for Fiscal Year 2025/26 for Pittsburg Power Company and Island Energy
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pittsburg Power Company (PPC) has prepared the operating budgets for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 for Island Energy (Fund 580) and PPC (Fund 590), and is presenting the budgets to its Governing Board for review, consideration, and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The PPC’s operating budget for FY 2025/26 estimates revenues to be $3,431,252 and expenditures to be $3,098,392. This includes a transfer out of $425,000 to Economic Development (Fund 202).
Island Energy's (IE) operating budget estimates revenues to be $10,156,659 and expenditures to be $9,727,255.
RECOMMENDATION
The Governing Board of the PPC approve the PPC’s operating budget for FY 2025/26, which includes a transfer of $425,000 from Fund 590 to Fund 202, and appropriate $3,098,392 for FY 2025/26.
In addition, the Board approve Island Energy’s operating budget for FY 2025/26 and appropriate $9,727,255 for FY 2025/26.
66 BACKGROUND
Adoption of the City Council Resolution 96-8349, former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg (RDA) Resolution 96-557, and PPC Resolution 96-001, approved a joint powers agreement between the City and RDA, and established PPC as a joint powers authority.
PPC is a separate legal entity from the City and doing business as Island Energy, providing retail electric and natural gas services (collectively, the “Services”) on Mare Island in Vallejo.
PPC/IE staff conduct regular rate cases to establish the rates that will be charged for providing the Services on Mare Island.
PPC/IE staff began preparing PPC and IE’s operating budgets for FY 2025/26 at the end of March 2025. Progress on the preparation of PPC and IE’s preliminary budgets were presented to the Board and the public at the budget workshops conducted June 2, 2025.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
PPC and IE’s preliminary budgets were presented to the Finance Management Subcommittee on April 18, 2025.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Since the beginning of 2023, staff have been working on economic development efforts related to the development of the technology campus project in Pittsburg. This project will enable the PPC to expand its operations into Pittsburg and provide the Services at the technology campus. This effort includes an extensive amount of staff time, outside counsel, consultants, and studies and agreements with PG&E. Because this project is still ongoing, costs are still being incurred and require PPC to transfer $425,000 from Fund 590 to Fund 202 to pay for expenses associated with this project.
While PPC continues to pursue potential businesses in Pittsburg, IE has been gathering energy price forecasts, electric and natural gas load data on Mare Island, and performing cost benefit sensitivity analysis to determine rates that are to be charged on Mare Island in order to provide consistent and reliable Services. Staff proposes a 10% increase to the current electric rates across all customer classes and a 2% increase to the natural gas delivery rate. These rates are further discussed in a separate adoption of a PPC resolution approving the proposed IE FY 2025/26 rate changes.
The PPC’s detailed budget is included in the City’s annual budget for FY 2025/26, which must be approved and funds appropriated by July 1, 2025 to provide on-going financing for the PPC and IE’s activities during the next fiscal year. 67 ATTACHMENTS: Resolution

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Southwest Pittsburg Geologic Hazard Abatement District II (GHAD II) has prepared its operating budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 and is presenting it to its governing board for review, consideration, and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
While the GHAD II consists of two funds, Funds 208 - Program and 226 - Administration, they should be considered collectively as the revenues in Fund 226 are transfers-in from Fund 208.

Fund 226’s budget for FY 2025/26 includes a transfer of an additional $183,000 from Fund 208 and therefore estimates revenues to be $708,453 and expenditures to be $982,213. Fund 226’s fund balance of $274,718 will be used to satisfy its budget deficit.
RECOMMENDATION
The Governing Board of the GHAD II approve the GHAD II’ s operating budget, which includes the transfer of $183,000 from Fund 208 to 226, and appropriate $1,218,580 in Fund 208 and $982,213 in Fund 226 for FY 2025/26.
BACKGROUND
With the expansion of development in the Pittsburg hillsides, the City Council adopted Resolution 01-9330 on February 20, 2001, forming the GHAD II. The purpose of the GHAD is to provide a means of financing the necessary slope maintenance to reduce the risk of landslides, maintain certain drainage basins, and establish a fund to assist in defraying the costs of landslide repairs should one occur in the GHAD area. 71 Staff began preparing the GHAD II’s operating budget for FY 2025/26 at the end of March 2025. Progress on the preparation of the GHAD II’s preliminary budget was presented to the Board and the public at the budget workshop conducted June 2, 2025.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The GHAD II’s preliminary budget was presented to the Finance Management Subcommittee on April 18, 2025.
STAFF ANALYSIS
During the next fiscal year, staff will review the option and possibility of consolidating Funds 208 and 226 to simplify the tracking and accounting of activities related to the GHAD II. The GHAD II’s detailed budget is included in the City’s annual budget for FY 2025/26, which must be approved and funds appropriated by July 1, 2025 to provide on-going financing for the GHAD II’s activities during the next fiscal year.

FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Successor Agency Resolution Approving the FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and Appropriation of Funds for FY 2025/26 MEETING DATE:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg (Successor Agency) has prepared the operating budgets for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 for the Successor Agency and the Housing Successor Agency (HSA), and is presenting it to the governing boards for review, consideration, and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Successor Agency’s budget, as adopted by the Contra Costa County Oversight Board (Countywide Oversight Board) and approved by the Department of Finance (DOF) for FY 2025/26, estimates revenues to be $31,858,350 and expenditures to be $31,858,350.
The HSA’s budget for FY 2025/26 estimates revenues to be $323,668 and expenditures to be $492,830. The HSA’s fund balance will be used to satisfy the budget deficit of $169,162.
RECOMMENDATION
The Governing Board of the Successor Agency approve the Successor Agency’s operating budget and appropriate funds for FY 2025/26.
The Governing Board of the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburg approve the HSA’s operating budget, appropriate funds for FY 2025/26, and use the HSA's fund balance to satisfy the budget deficit.
BACKGROUND
On June 29, 2011, the Governor signed into law the Dissolution Act, which automatically suspended redevelopment activities, and on December 29, 2011, the California State Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the Dissolution Act, thereby dissolving all redevelopment agencies, including the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of 75 Pittsburg on February 1, 2012. While redevelopment successor agencies may not initiate any new activities nor incur new indebtedness, they are nevertheless required under legislative statute and court order to continue making those payments necessary for day-to- day operations pursuant to contractual commitments/enforceable obligations, regulatory authorities, and indebtedness entered into prior to the enactment of the Dissolution Act.
Pursuant to the Dissolution Act, the City elected to transfer to the Housing Authority and the Housing Authority elected to accept the transfer of all rights, responsibilities, and function related to housing previously performed by the Agency. On June 27, 2012, the Governor signed into law budget trailer bill AB 1484. AB 1484 imposed new requirements on successor agencies with regard to the submittal of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS).
Budget trailer bill SB 107 was approved and signed by the Governor and took immediate effect on September 22, 2015. The primary purpose of SB 107 is to make technical and substantive amendments to the existing Dissolution Act. Health & Safety Code Section 34177, as amended, changed the review of ROPS from semi-annual to annual. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179 (j), on and after July 1, 2018, in each county where more than one oversight board was created, there shall be only one countywide oversight board.
As of July 1, 2018, the DOF only recognizes the Countywide Oversight Board. The Successor Agency’s ROPS and other actions may not be submitted to the DOF without the Countywide Oversight Board’s approval.
The ROPS for the period of July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026 (ROPS 2025/26) was submitted by Minute Order to the Governing Board of the Successor Agency on December 16, 2024. On January 27, 2025, the Countywide Oversight Board adopted Resolution 2025-09, approving ROPS 2025/26, which was later approved by the DOF in a letter dated April 4, 2025.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The Successor Agency and HSA’s budgets were not presented to the Finance Management Subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
ROPS 2025/26 consists of debt service related expenses, administrative expenses, and other eligible enforceable obligations. The Successor Agency has been approved to receive a total of $31,858,350 from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF), which will be disbursed to the Successor Agency in two disbursements: (A) $16,037,750 and (B) $15,820,600. RPTTF disbursements are received in the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund (Fund 799), which are then transferred out to various Successor Agency funds to pay for debt service related expenses, administrative expenses, and other eligible enforceable obligations.
The HSA maximizes its ability to provide affordable housing opportunities to the Pittsburg community by partnering with affordable housing developers and providing financial assistance in exchange for recording regulatory agreements which restricts the residential unites as affordable for 45 years (owner-occupied) and 55-years (renter-occupied). Because oversight of HSA activities was transferred to the Housing Authority, the Governing Board of 76 the Housing Authority is the oversight body to review, consider, and approve the HSA’s budget.
The Successor Agency and the HSA’s detailed budgets are included in the City’s annual budget FY 2025/26, which must be approved and funds appropriated by July 1, 2025 to provide on-going financing for the Successor Agency and HSA’s activities during the next fiscal year.

These funds will be deposited into the General Fund as reimbursements for Community Development and City Manager’s Office staff time spent on public engagement efforts.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding for Development of a Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan.
BACKGROUND
In 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill titled Coastal Resources: Sea Level Rise (SB 1) into law, which directs the State to provide funding to local and regional governments to develop sea level rise adaptation plans and implementation projects. In 2022, the California Air Resources Board awarded $37.5 million dollars to the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) to support the implementation of SB 1. In the Budget Act of 2023, OPC received an additional $54.5 million for the continued implementation of SB 1. The 88 State’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 Budget maintained $77 million in funding for OPC’s SB 1 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Planning Grant Program (SB 1 Grant Program), which aims to provide funding for coastal communities to develop consistent sea level rise adaptation plans and projects to build resilience to sea level rise along the entire coast of California and the San Francisco Bay.
On October 7, 2023, Governor Newsom approved a bill titled Sea Level Rise: Planning and Adaptation (SB 272), which requires local governments lying, in whole or in part, within the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), to develop a subregional San Francisco Bay shoreline resiliency plan on or before January 1, 2034. The subregional plan must include use of the best available science, a vulnerability assessment that includes efforts to ensure equity for at-risk communities, sea level rise adaptation strategies and recommended projects, identification of lead planning and implementation agencies, and a timeline for updates. Local governments with subregional plans approved by BCDC will be prioritized for implementation funding. SB 272 also requires BCDC to establish guidelines for the preparation of the subregional plans on or before December 31, 2024. BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan to comply with SB 272 requirements at its December 5, 2024, meeting.
In March 2024, the County submitted an application to OPC’s SB 1 Grant Program to support the preparation of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, a sea level rise adaptation plan to ensure the County’s compliance with SB 272. The County intends to coordinate with cities along the County’s shoreline (Antioch, Hercules, Martinez, Oakley, Pinole, San Pablo and Pittsburg) that are vulnerable to sea level rise impacts. The County’s application included a budget allocation for Local Government Subcontractors to support the participation of these cities in the development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan.
At OPC’s June 4, 2024, meeting, OPC approved the authorization to disburse up to $1,499,285 to Contra Costa County for the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
Partnership with the County on an OPC SB 1 granted Resilient Shoreline Plan was discussed as part of the Waterfront grants update at the October 18, 2024 Finance Management Subcommittee meeting.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The majority of Pittsburg’s waterfront is privately owned by industrial and commercial uses, many of which are brownfields with multi-million-dollar remediation cost estimates. At 4.5 feet of sea level rise, approximately 150 homes would be affected, imposing great cost for public education, equitable relocation, emergency services, and more. Pittsburg’s public shoreline includes two parks, the Pittsburg Municipal Marina, and one predominantly vacant parcel zoned for Marine Commercial use. A series of conditions assessments on the City- owned shoreline infrastructure conducted over the last five years points to tens of millions of dollars in costs for infrastructure resilience along Pittsburg’s public shoreline.
Identification of specific vulnerabilities and development of pointed solutions that build on the City’s newly adopted General Plan, Sustainability Plan, and Trust Lands Use Plan prior to the anticipated sea level rise is prudent. While Pittsburg and some of the potentially participating cities are outside of BCDC jurisdiction, participation in the development of a BCDC-approved regional plan will:
89 1. Ensure Pittsburg is prioritized for the State’s implementation funding and make Pittsburg more competitive on other resilience implementation grant opportunities.
2. Ensure consistency and coordinated activities across local plans throughout the Bay Area.
3. Provide building blocks for development of Pittsburg’s jurisdiction-specific sea level rise resiliency planning.
The City has initiated its own application for a jurisdiction-specific sea level rise resiliency plan through the SB 1 grant program. Through this MOU, participation in the County’s outreach efforts for the same program will give staff experience, foundational data, and momentum from which to build its own public engagement efforts as it develops a resilience plan for Pittsburg.

Recitals
A. In 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1 (“ SB 1”) into law, which directs the State to provide funding to local and regional governments to develop sea level rise adaptation plans and implementation projects. In 2022, the California Air Resources Board awarded $37.5 million dollars to the California Ocean Protection Council (“OPC”) to support the implementation of SB 1.

to provide funding for coastal communities to develop consistent sea level rise adaptation plans and projects to build resilience to sea level rise along the entire coast of California and the San Francisco Bay.
B. On October 7, 2023, Senate Bill 272 (“SB 272”) was approved by Governor Newsom, which requires local governments lying, in whole or in part, within the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (“BCDC”) to develop a subregional San Francisco Bay shoreline resiliency plan on or before January 1, 2034. The subregional plan must include use of the best available science, a vulnerability assessment that includes efforts to ensure equity for at-risk communities, sea level rise adaptation strategies and recommended projects, identification of lead planning and implementation agencies, and a timeline for updates.
Local governments with subregional plans approved by BCDC will be prioritized for implementation funding. SB 272 also requires BCDC to establish guidelines for the preparation of the subregional plans on or before December 31, 2024. BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan to comply with SB 272 requirements at its December 5, 2024, meeting.
C. In March 2024, the County submitted an application to OPC’s SB 1 Grant Program to support the preparation of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, a sea level rise adaptation plan to ensure the County’s compliance with SB 272. The County intends to coordinate with cities along the County’s shoreline that are vulnerable to sea level rise impacts.

94
D. The Parties wish to collaborate on the development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan to ensure consistency across local plans, robust engagement of all shoreline communities in the planning process, and collaborative implementation efforts. The Parties recognize that the key to success in adapting to sea level rise will be the coordination of activities across jurisdictional boundaries through collaborative development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, which each Party may consider using, as it determines to be appropriate, to comply with SB 272.
E. The Parties wish to memorialize their commitments by means of this MOU.
Understandings
1. Term. The term of this MOU begins on the Effective Date, which shall occur upon execution of this MOU by all eight of the Parties, and this MOU shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of the following events: (i) April 30, 2027, (ii) the date upon which the Parties submit all completed SB 1 grant deliverables to OPC, or (iii) the date upon which the Parties then party to the MOU execute a document jointly terminating the provisions of this MOU. An individual Party’s obligations under this MOU terminate when the Party withdraws from the MOU in accordance with Section 3.
2. Development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan a. Cities to Become Local Government Subcontractors. The County is the direct grantee from OPC. As such, the County is the fiscal agent for grant funds and will manage all contracts with subcontractors, including a community engagement partner subcontractor, technical subcontractor, and local government subcontractors. The County is leading the development of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan and will, therefore, be involved in all subtasks described in the SB 1 Grant Workplan approved by OPC. A copy of that 95
approved SB 1 Grant Workplan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. \County responsibilities include but are not limited to leading the community engagement partner and technical subcontractor request for qualifications processes; developing project planning materials (e.g., Project Roadmap, Stakeholder Inventory, Community Education and Engagement Plan); providing input on the strategic update of existing vulnerability assessments; convening the Resilient Shoreline Coalition (“RSC”); consulting with stakeholders (e.g., local government subcontractors, RSC, local tribes, BCDC, Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Committee); preparing for and conducting community workshops; providing input on the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan; and preparing materials for grant reporting. Each City agrees to participate in the subtasks for local government subcontractors described in the SB 1 Grant Workplan approved by OPC. Each City’s responsibilities described in the SB 1 Grant Workplan include but are not limited to supporting a minimum of five community workshops (e.g., identifying stakeholders to invite and assisting in organizing, promoting, and co-hosting workshops); reviewing one or more drafts of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan to ensure compatibility with city planning requirements (e.g., general plans and climate action plans); reviewing other grant deliverables as capacity allows; attending Resilient Shoreline Coalition meetings (maximum of four per year); and ongoing coordination to evaluate progress for grant reporting. All deliverables described in the SB 1 Grant Workplan must be completed no later than April 30, 2027.
b. Single Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan. Through their joint and coordinated efforts under this MOU, the Parties will collaborate to develop a single Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan that, at a minimum, satisfies the requirements of the 96
SB 1 grant agreement with OPC. The Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan must be drafted in a manner that preserves, and does not purport to supersede, the land use authority of each Party within that Party’s jurisdiction. Unless the Parties later agree otherwise, it is intended that the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan will be implemented by each Party within its respective jurisdiction only if that Party chooses to adopt the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan following its completion. The Parties that adopt the final Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan will coordinate their implementation of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing pre-commits any Party to adopting the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan.
c. Cooperation of Efforts . Each Party will designate staff who will endeavor to develop the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan and other SB 1 grant deliverables in an expeditious manner in accordance with the terms of this MOU. d. Financing. The County, as the awardee, will be the fiscal agent for all funds allocated under the SB 1 Grant Program. The funds allocated for local government subcontractors within the OPC SB 1 grant budget approved by OPC will be shared equally among the Cities. In consideration for each City’s performance of its obligations under this MOU in connection with developing the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan and other SB 1 grant deliverables, the County will reimburse each City in the amount of $6,775 once every six months during the term of this MOU. Provided, however, that a City shall not be entitled to any further reimbursement under this Section upon its withdrawal from this MOU, or upon the termination of this MOU, whichever occurs first. 97
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the total of all County payments under this Section to any City shall not exceed $27,100 during the term of this MOU.
e. Approval of the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan. The Parties agree that the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan will become effective for the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County upon its approval and adoption by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, which shall be within its sole discretion to approve. The Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan will not become effective as to any City unless and until the plan is approved by that City’s City Council, which shall be within its sole discretion to approve. This agreement does not prevent any City or third party from using the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan, or any portion of it, as that City or third party determines in order to comply with SB 272.
3. Withdrawal. Any Party shall have the ability to withdraw from this MOU by providing sixty (60) days advance written notice of its intention to withdraw. Said notice shall be given to each of the other Parties.
a. A withdrawal shall not terminate, or relieve the withdrawing Party from, any express contractual obligation to another Party to this MOU or to any third party incurred or encumbered prior to the withdrawal.
b. In the event of a Party’s withdrawal, this MOU shall continue in full force and effect among the remaining Parties.
98
4. CEQA. Nothing in this MOU commits any Party to undertake any future discretionary actions referenced in this MOU, including but not limited to adopting the Contra Costa Resilient Shoreline Plan. The Plan will not be adopted by any agency until the adopting party complies with the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.
5. Books and Records. Each Party shall have access to and the right to examine any of the other Party’s pertinent books, documents, papers, or other records (including, without limitation, records contained on electronic media) relating to the performance of that Party’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, providing that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to operate as a waiver of any applicable privilege and provided further that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to give any Party rights to inspect the other Party’s records in excess of the rights contained in the applicable provisions of the California Public Records Act and Contra Costa County Better Government Ordinance.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing the Execution of Cooperative Agreements with East Contra Costa Regional Fee and Financing Authority for Project 3038 West Leland Road Extension Phase II and Project 3039 Pittsburg-Antioch Highway Widening MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The East Contra Costa Regional Fee and Financing Authority (ECCRFFA) supports the establishment and administration of a uniform regional development fee program that funds and implements regional road improvement projects in the East County area. In the Fifth Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, Project 3015 James Donlon Boulevard Extension was deprioritized and Project 3038 West Leland Road Extension Phase II and Project 3039 Pittsburg-Antioch Highway Widening were elevated as Third Priority projects. This Resolution will authorize the execution of cooperative agreements between ECCRFFA and the City of Pittsburg to secure necessary funding.
FISCAL IMPACT
As the James Donlon Extension project was deprioritized, the ECCRFFA funds reserved were reallocated to two projects elevated to the Third Priority Level:
Project 3038 West Leland Road Extension Phase II $33,380,000 Project 3039 Pittsburg-Antioch Highway Widening $38,000,000 No new allocations are included in this City Council action.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution and authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Agreements for the above-mentioned projects. 109
BACKGROUND
On August 9, 1994, Antioch, Brentwood, Pittsburg, and Contra Costa County formed the ECCRFFA, a separate joint powers agency, by entering into an agreement that would support the establishment and administration of a uniform regional development fee program that funds and implements regional road improvement projects in the East County area. Five amendments have been made between 1999 and 2024.
On August 8, 2024, the ECCRFFA Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2024/02, which included the adoption of the Fehr & Peers May 2024 East Contra Costa Regional Fee Program Update, adding 18 new projects to the ECCRFFA list of projects and also revising the project prioritization provisions established under the Third Amendment. In this action, the West Leland Road Extension Phase II and the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway Widening projects were added to the Third Priority level.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was presented to the Infrastructure and Transportation Subcommittee at the April 25, 2024 meeting.
STAFF ANALYSIS
With the execution of a Fifth Amendment, Project 3015 James Donlon Extension was removed from the Third Priority project list. The funds reserved were reallocated to:
Project 3038 West Leland Road Extension Phase II, which will extend the road as a 4-lane arterial from Santa Teresa Drive to Avila Road ($33,380,000). Project 3039 Pittsburg-Antioch Highway Widening, which will widen the road to 4 lanes from Loveridge Road to the eastern city limits ($38,000,000).
Engineering Division staff have selected design engineers for both projects and are prepared to enter into agreements so the projects can progress into the design phase. On June 12, 2025, the ECCRFFA Board of Directors will consider adoption of a resolution authorizing execution of the Cooperative Agreements for both projects.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract for Temporary Landscape Maintenance Assistance MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Public Works Department effectively maintains the City's high-visibility roads and labor- intensive landscape areas by utilizing a landscape contractor. This crucial partnership ensures these areas remain safe, attractive, and well-maintained. This resolution seeks to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Allied Landscape Services, Inc. (Allied) for continued landscape maintenance assistance in the City's medians and rights-of- way.
FISCAL IMPACT
No new funds are requested. The landscape maintenance assistance contract is funded in Project 1756 - Landscape Maintenance Master Plan (LMMP). This is an appropriate use of these funds.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a General Services Agreement with Allied in the amount of $198,000 for landscape maintenance assistance for a period of one year.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining all City facilities and infrastructure, including medians and rights-of-way. In 2020, the City Council adopted the Landscape Maintenance Master Plan (LMMP) to provide a comprehensive vision and guide for prioritizing landscaping projects across parks, medians, and City rights-of-way. 149
Recognizing the ongoing challenges of a reduced labor force, budget constraints, and limited weed control methods, the Public Works Department received $1.5 million in General Fund Surplus during Fiscal Year 2022/23. This funding was critical for implementing LMMP projects and securing continued landscape maintenance contracts. External contractors have proven essential in supplementing City crews, especially for high-visibility roads and labor-intensive areas during peak growing seasons. This approach not only ensures these areas remain safe, beautiful, and well-maintained but also allows City crews to focus on maintenance-reducing projects, yielding long-term savings. As of 2025, these factors continue to influence our maintenance operations, making external support a vital component of our success.
The current landscape maintenance assistance contract expires on June 30, 2025.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The landscape contract in this staff report was not discussed in a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Public Works solicited proposals from several qualified landscape contractors through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. A total of two companies submitted responses to the RFP. Allied was selected for the overall best value of services. Allied offers competitive pricing and has provided satisfactory landscape services for the City for several years.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Approving the Appropriations Limit for the 2025/26 Fiscal Year in Accordance with Proposition 111 and Article XIII (B)
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has prepared its appropriations limit calculation for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 pursuant to the Gann Initiative and is presenting it to the City Council for review, consideration, and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to approving the City’s FY 2025/26 appropriations limit. The General Fund estimated spending plan of $62,818,520 will not exceed the FY 2025/26 appropriations limit of $234,271,040 (Appropriations Limit).
RECOMMENDATION
City Council adopt the Resolution approving the Appropriations Limit in Accordance with Proposition 111 and Article XIII (B).
BACKGROUND
In November 1979, Proposition 4, known as the Gann Initiative was approved by the California voters. As a result, Article XIII (B) of the State Statute (Government Code Section 7900-10) was enacted and it requires that each year thereafter, the governing body of each local jurisdiction shall by resolution, establish its appropriations (spending) limit for the following fiscal year. The determination of the appropriations limit is considered to be a legislative act and should be adopted at a regular city council meeting.
Proposition 111, approved by California voters in 1990, amended Article XIII (B) further, and city council action is necessary to implement the amendments effective for FY 2005/06 and thereafter.
191
The amendments of Proposition 111 specified that the annual adjustment factors in calculating the Appropriations Limit will be increased by:
• The change in population growth for City or County (whichever is higher) • The change in California Per Capita Personal Income
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not reviewed by a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Proposition 111 amendments, staff has calculated the Appropriations Limit, shown as Exhibit B – Gann Calculations, using the City’s Population change and the change in California Per Capital Personal Income Factor.
The appropriations subject to limitation for FY 2025/26 is $62,818,520 against the calculated limit of $234,271,040.

5 Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 20 25, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2025-26. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2025-26 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change along with the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, Section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2025.
Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2025-26 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2025-26 6.44
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2025-26 appropriation limit.
2025-26:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 6.44 percent
Population Change = 0.28 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 6.44 + 100 = 1.0644 100
Population converted to a ratio: 0.28 + 100 = 1.0028 100
Calculation of factor for FY 2025-26: 1.0644 x 1.0028 = 1.0674

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Chair and Governing Board Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Pittsburg Power Company Resolution Approving the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Bell Burnett and Associates
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On February 3, 2025, the Pittsburg Power Company (PPC) entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with Bell Burnett and Associates (BBA) to assist PPC with development of a plan and implementation for expansion of electric utility services for multiple power delivery projects, including but not limited to, advising on the development of an interconnect agreement with PG&E for service to the Pittsburg Technology Park. The proposed first amendment would increase the overall compensation potentially paid to BBA and extend the term of the contract (“First Amendment”).
FISCAL IMPACT
The First Amendment would increase the overall compensation limit from $70,000 to $225,000 and amend Exhibit B “Compensation Schedule” to establish a fixed monthly fee of $16,000. These costs would be paid for out of PPC (590) or Island Energy (580) funds and would have no impact on the City’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
The Governing Board of the PPC adopt the resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute the First Amendments to the Consulting Services Agreement with Bell Burnett and Associates.
BACKGROUND
In April 1997, PPC, a joint powers authority, was formed and commenced the sale and service of electricity and gas on Mare Island, Vallejo, as a municipally owned utility under the name Island Energy. Since then, PPC has sought opportunities to expand energy delivery to the City limits of Pittsburg.
197
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Currently, staff is pursuing approximately six expansion projects within the City limits and has hired BBA to advise and assist with planning efforts. These projects include the Pittsburg Technology Park, reuse of industrial sites along the northern waterfront, expansion of services on Mare Island, and others.
The proposed First Amendment also amends Exhibit A, “Scope of Services,” to better define the work to be conducted by BBA. The fixed monthly fee is recommended by staff due to the number of projects currently being analyzed by BBA.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Chair and Governing Board Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Pittsburg Power Company Resolution Approving the 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan and Directing Staff to File the Wildfire Mitigation Plan with the Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
State Law, Public Utilities Code Section 8387, requires all publicly and investor-owned electric utilities to file an annual Wildfire Mitigation Plan with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The Pittsburg Power Company (PPC), a joint powers authority, provides retail electricity service on Mare Island, Vallejo and is therefore, required by law to create and update annually a Wildfire Mitigation Plan as a means of enabling processes and procedures to help mitigate the chance of Pittsburg Power Company (PPC) facilities causing a wildfire. The Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety (OEIS) requires the Governing Board of the PPC to approve its 2025 Annual Wildfire Mitigation Plan (Plan).
FISCAL IMPACT
The Plan has no fiscal impact on PPC’s utility Enterprise Fund or the City of Pittsburg’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
The PPC Governing Board adopt the Resolution approving the 2025 Plan, attest the information contained in the Plan is true and accurate, and direct staff to file the Plan with the OEIS.
BACKGROUND
In 2016, State Senator Jerry Hill introduced Senate Bill 1028 (SB 1028) (stats. 2016) with the goal of encouraging electric utilities to adopt a performance-based approach for mitigating the risk of catastrophic wildfires from electrical lines and facilities. SB 1028 was approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State on September 24, 2016. 221
SB 1028 is separated into two basic parts: (1) a mandate for all investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to develop wildfire mitigation plans, with a specified review process by the OEIS; and (2) a more limited process for Publicly Owned Utilities (POUs), that requires the POU to identify wildfire mitigation measures if the POU governing board makes certain findings regarding fire threat risk.
On September 21, 2018, California Legislature Senate Bill 901 (SB 901) was signed into law.
SB 901 introduced a series of new changes to Public Utilities Code Section 8387, expanding the requirements of the existing wildfire mitigation efforts of electric utilities. The Plan is developed in accordance with the requirements of SB 901 and Public Utilities Code Section 8387.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The updated 2025 Plan has not been presented to the PPC Subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
PPC’s electrical facilities on Mare Island are approximately 95% underground, with just over 2 miles of medium voltage overhead distribution lines on 59 wooden poles, serving various streetlights and Coast Guard telecommunications facilities on the south portion of Mare Island. PPC does not have high voltage transmission facilities.
For portions of the utility’s overhead distribution system that are in areas of fire risk, the Plan employs vegetation management and infrastructure inspections in its routine preventive and maintenance plan for these overhead electrical lines.
The Fire Threat Map compiled by the OEIS, as well as local historical fire data and local conditions, indicate that PPC’s underground and overhead electrical lines, equipment, and related facilities are not located in areas designated as either elevated risk or extreme risk areas for wildfire.
The original Wildfire Mitigation Plan was reviewed by an independent consultant, as well as by the Solano County Office of Emergency Services, and the City of Vallejo Fire Department, and their comments were incorporated in the 2025 Plan.
Based on these facts and local agency third-party reviews, staff conclude that PPC’s overhead electrical lines and equipment do not pose a significant risk of catastrophic wildfires. If the Governing Board makes this determination, PPC has no additional obligation under SB 901 to develop additional wildfire mitigation measures to the Plan.
The Plan will be executed as part of PPC’s routine safety inspection and electrical system preventive maintenance activities to minimize the risk of its overhead electrical lines and related equipment potentially causing a fire.

Re: Notice of Public Meeting on PPC Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Dear Wildfire Safety Advisory Board
This letter notifies the Wildfire Safety Advisory Board (“WSAB”) that on June 18, 2025, Pittsburg Power Company (“PPC”) presented its existing Wildfire Mitigation Plan (“WMP”) to its Governing Board at a publicly noticed meeting, in accordance with Public Utilities Code section 8387(b).
PPC’s WMP was previously adopted on July 1, 2024. At that meeting, PPC provided an opportunity for public comment on its existing WMP and PPC’s Governing Board verified that PPC’s existing WMP complies with all applicable rules, regulations, and standards, as appropriate.
PPC does not have any overhead electric supply facilities located in or near an area of the state that is designed as “extreme” or “elevated” in the California Public Utilities Commission’s High Fire Threat District Map. PPC is in a “Local Responsibility Area” (LRA) zone.
In consideration of this low historical wildfire risk, PPC has determined that its existing WMP adequately addresses the risk of a utility-caused, catastrophic wildfire occurring in PPC’s service territory and that no substantive changes are merited for this reporting year.
PPC will continue to evaluate its existing WMP in relation to the wildfire risk posed by PPC’s system on an annual basis.
In order to provide the WSAB with information on PPC’s system and WMP performance, please find attached an updated WMP, including a metrics table.
PPC thanks the WSAB for their review and support in helping to mitigate wildfire risks in California.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Xie
Deputy Power Company Manager

1.0 OVERVIEW
1.1 POLICY STATEMENT
Senate Bill 901 (now Public Utilities Code §8387), approved in 2018, requires Pittsburg Power Company (PPC) to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan that describes how electrical lines and equipment are constructed, maintained, and operated in a manner that minimizes the risk of wildfire. PPC has always had standard requirements for design, construction, and maintenance of its facilities to reduce wildfire risk. This Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) builds on those requirements and complies with PUC §8387.
PPC’s goal is to provide safe, reliable, and economic electric service to its Mare Island customers. To meet this goal, PPC constructs, maintains, and operates its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of ignition posed by its electrical lines and equipment.
1.2 PURPOSE
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan describes programs, policies, and procedures implemented by PPC to mitigate the threat of power line-ignited wildfires. This plan is subject to direct supervision by the PPC Executive Secretary and its Board of Directors and is implemented by the PPC Power Company Manager. Specific roles and responsibilities for the plan are identified in Section 9.1.
Pittsburg Power Company (“PPC”) is a joint powers agency of the City of Pittsburg, California. PPC operates a municipal electric and gas utility distribution system on Mare Island Vallejo using the name “Island Energy.” PPC does not own, operate, or maintain transmission facilities (69kV and higher).
PPC’s service territory is limited to Mare Island, Vallejo and is bordered to the east by the Napa River, to the south and west by San Pablo Bay and to the north by wetlands and Highway 37 (Figure 1).
PPC is primarily an underground utility but does have some overhead distribution segments with a total of 61 active low and medium voltage distribution system wood poles.
In general, PPC’s fire prevention and safety efforts conform to the intent of Vallejo’s (“City”) General Plan and other safety planning efforts and programs implemented by the City. PPC participates in and coordinates directly with the City on such programs.
Mare Island is within the City of Vallejo City limits and is under the jurisdiction of the City’s municipal departments. PPC coordinates with the City of Vallejo Public Works, Police and Fire departments on matters related to utility operations, safety, and emergency response on Mare Island, including fire response.

2.0 OBJECTIVES
2.1 MINIMIZE ELECTRICAL SOURCES OF IGNITION
The primary objective of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to minimize the probability that PPC’s distribution system may be the origin, or a contributing source, for igniting a wildfire.
PPC continually evaluates prudent and cost-effective improvements to its standards, physical assets, operations, and training that can help meet the objective. PPC has implemented those changes consistent with this evaluation.
2.2 MAINTAIN RESILIENCY OF THE ELECTRIC GRID
The second goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to improve the resiliency of the electric grid. Resiliency is the ability for the electric power system to withstand and recover from extreme, damaging conditions, including weather and other natural disasters, as well as cyber and physical attacks. In developing this plan, PPC assessed new industry practices and technologies that may reduce the likelihood of an interruption in service and/or improve 234
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 7
the restoration of service, and regularly evaluates best practices for possible inclusion in the Plan.
2.3 MINIMIZE UNNECESSARY OR INEFFECTIVE ACTIONS
The final goal for this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to measure the effectiveness of specific ignition mitigation measures and look for opportunities to improve efficiency. Where a particular action, program component, or protocol is determined to be unnecessary or ineffective, PPC will assess whether a modification or replacement is merited. This plan will also help determine if more cost-effective measures would produce the same or improved results.
3.0 PPC PROFILE AND SERVICE AREA
3.1 SERVICE TERRITORY
Pittsburg Power Company (“PPC”) is a joint powers agency of the City of Pittsburg, California. PPC operates a municipal electric and gas utility distribution system on Mare Island Vallejo using the name “Island Energy”. PPC does not own, operate, or maintain transmission facilities (kV and higher).
PPC’s service territory is limited to Mare Island, Vallejo and is bordered to the east by the Napa River, to the south and west by San Pablo Bay and to the north by wetlands and Highway 37. Please refer to Figure 1.
PPC is primarily an underground utility but does have some overhead distribution segments with a total of 61 active low and medium voltage distribution system wood poles. Areas of trees, dense brush and tall grasses comprise a total of approximately 280 acres. Please refer to Exhibit A – PPC Wood Pole Inventory for a listing of pole location, status, vegetation, and inspection and maintenance actions. Exhibit B contains a description of the three (3) overhead electrical distribution system segments.
As shown on Figure 1 PPC’s utility operations on Mare Island, Vallejo are not within any identified California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) High-Fire Threat Districts.
3.2 PPC PURPOSE AND VISION
Pittsburg Power Company’s overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, and competitively priced electric service to its customers, while being a good steward of resources and providing a high level of customer satisfaction and safety.
235
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 8
3.3 UTILITY GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
Board of Directors: PPC is governed by a “Pittsburg Power Company Board of Directors”.
The Board of Directors is comprised of five (5) members, who also serve as the City Council for the City of Pittsburg.
Executive Secretary: The currently sitting City Manager serves as the Pittsburg Power Company Executive Secretary.
Director of Community Services: The Director of Community Services serves as PPC’s Department Head.
Power Company Manager: The Power Company Manager is a direct-hire City employee managing the day-to-day activities of the utility. PPC is governed by a five-member locally elected Board of Directors.
3.4 IGNITION PREVENTION GENERAL PRACTICE
The utility has a staff of three (3) Utility Technicians dedicated to electric operations. In addition to the Utility Technicians, three (3) Lineworker positions support the electric and gas operations.
Administrative Officer and Administrative Assistant positions support the Power Company Manager.
The Power Company Manager is responsible for operation of the utility and the effective implementation and management of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
Utility staff perform all forms of distribution system operations and maintenance, including phase checking, switching, system repairs, minor upgrades, metering, system safety inspections assessments and related work.
Vegetation management is supervised by a Utility Technician and performed by the Lineworker position, other available staff, and contractors as may be required.
Typical vegetation management includes tree trimming per CPUC GO 95, manual and mechanical clearing of brush and grass from around wood poles and rights-of-way, and the limited application of herbicides to prevent recurrence of grasses around wood power poles. The Mare Island master developer employs both mechanical methods and a contracted goat herd to reduce various fuels around the island.
236
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 9
In all of its activities related to electric facility design, maintenance, inspection, and vegetation management, all PPC staff adhere to the following principles, goals, and objectives:
• Operate the system in a manner that will minimize the potential for ignition and wildfire risks.
• Take all reasonable and practicable actions to minimize the risk of a catastrophic wildfire caused by PPC electric facilities.
• Coordinate with federal, state, and local fire management personnel as necessary or appropriate to implement PPC’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan. • Immediately report fires, pursuant to existing PPC practices and the requirements of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
• Take corrective action when the staff witnesses or is notified that fire protection measures have not been properly installed or maintained. • Comply with relevant federal, state, and industry standard requirements, including the industry standards established by the California Public Utilities Commission. • Collect and maintain wildfire data necessary for the implementation of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
• Provide regular training programs for all employees having obligations for implementation of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
PPC’s goal is to prevent electric facilities from starting fires throughout its service territory and wherever its lines are located. Attention is focused toward the 10,480 feet of overhead lines. As shown on Figure 1, none of the PPC service territory is located within CPUC Tier 2 or Tier 3 high fire threat districts.
The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) is the zone of transition between unoccupied land and human development. It is the line, area or zone where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland or vegetative fuels. As shown on Figure 2, 61.77% of the PPC service territory lies outside of a WUI. The developed eastern and southern portions of Mare Island include 4.74% Intermix WUI and 33.4% Interface WUI.

4.0 WILDFIRE RISKS AND DRIVERS
239
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 12
4.1 ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT
Enterprise-wide safety risks are almost exclusively limited to the energized overhead PPC distribution system.
Figure 3 depicts the land cover classifications on Mare Island, including the entire PPC service territory. Within the overhead distribution system, vegetation coverage in the southern area of the service territory is classified as Herbaceous, with some Hardwood Woodland (mostly eucalyptus trees). The land cover underlying overhead circuits in the center of the service territory near Club Drive is classified as Hardwood Woodland and Herbaceous. Based on field observations, land cover that is currently mapped as Herbaceous could be better classified as Shrub in some locations. Circuits on the north end of the service territory are located in Herbaceous ground cover.
The underground portion of the distribution system poses low risk of ignition, as the underground system is in developed commercial, industrial, and residential areas. Events in these areas tend to be highly localized and absent vegetation.
4.2 FIRE RISK DRIVERS
Since only a single utility-caused wildfire has occurred in PPC service territory PPC researched historic causes of fires in California to identify the following primary risk drivers:
Drought – As the vegetation gets drier, there is a greater risk of fire ignition and rapid spread of fire.
Vegetation Type
– The lower elevation of PPC’s Fire Zone are predominantly grass lands, but as the elevation increases, the vegetation transitions to brush and trees, especially in the Coast Range. If ignited, brush and trees can produce more intense fires.
Vegetation Density – As the elevation increases in PPC’s Fire Zone, the vegetation density increases, especially in the Coast Range. Greater vegetation density has the potential to produce more intense fires.
Weather – Lack of rain, low humidity, and high temperatures can increase the intensity of fire behavior.
High winds – High winds may increase chances of fire ignition and fire spread.
Terrain – Fire may spread more rapidly uphill, the Coast Range includes terrain that is conducive to the uphill spread of fire. In addition to the Coast Range, there are portions of the Sierra foothills where terrain is conducive to wildfire spread.
240
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 13
Changing Weather Patterns (Climate Change) – As the climate gets drier and/or hotter, conditions in the future may increase fire risk.
4.3 CLIMATE AND CLIMATE CHANGE
The average rainfall in the PPC service territory is about 24 inches per year, most of which falls from October through April. Hot summer temperatures are moderated by onshore southwesterly breezes flowing across San Francisco and San Pablo Bays from the Pacific Ocean. Morning fog and high humidity are characteristic of local summer days, thereby reducing the threat of ignition. The typical extended summer dry season results in a heightened risk of fires well into the fall before the rainy season begins. During dry years, the fire risk can extend into the winter and through the spring. While wet winters can delay the ignition of significant fires later into spring or early summer, they also promote more vegetation growth, and may therefore produce higher fire risk during the inevitable hot, dry, summer season.
The statewide fire experience over the last few years has shown that catastrophic fires can occur anywhere, even in residential subdivisions outside areas of high fire risk. PPC is prepared to assist fire agencies with their response to active fires anywhere within its territory. However, PPC concurs with the Cal Fire and CPUC risk designations and sees no reason to change the boundaries of fire risk zones within the PPC territory.
According to experts, climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of wildfires, as well as the extent of wildfires. The severity of wildfires is a function of the type of vegetation, the health of trees, dryness of the combustible vegetation material involved, slope, topography, and weather conditions. Tree stress and mortality, including damage due to insect infestations can exacerbate fire hazards.
California’s fire season has historically extended from early spring through the late fall, but due to drier conditions and factors such as campfires and vandalism, fire protection and mitigation is becoming a year-round necessity.
4.4 VEGETATION TYPE
As illustrated in Figure 3, the PPC service territory is 45% urbanized and is surrounded by the Napa River, San Pablo Bay, and protected wetlands to the north. Homes, warehouses associated with the former Mare Island Naval Base, open fields, commercial equipment storage and laydown yards, and some residential and office uses among vegetated areas.
Vegetation in the service territory is approximately 72% herbaceous, 3% water, and 2.5% hardwood woodland (eucalyptus).
241
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 14
Visual observations show that many areas classified as herbaceous also contain shrubs, as do the hardwood woodlands. PPC is cognizant of the increased fuel loading of shrubs vs. grasses.
Figure 3: Land Cover Classification in PPC Service Territory 242
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 15
4.5 TOPOGRAPHY AND SLOPE
Fires propagate and move faster depending on topography. Flat or moderate slopes (0- 5%) generally have slower moving fires, with lower intensity than fires on steeper slopes (10-
30%). The northern two thirds of Mare Island is relatively flat and nearly sea level. The southern section of the lsland rises abruptly from a narrow plateau adjacent to the Napa River and San Pablo Bay to an elevation of approximately 250’. Thus, the southern end of the island has a higher potential for wildfire spread, with higher intensities. This is an area of focus for PPC’s vegetation management efforts.
5.0 PPC ASSETS IN FIRE ZONES
5.1 PPC ASSETS
For purposes of risk assessment, PPC assets consisting of its substation, transformers, switch gear, and distribution electrical lines were considered as potential sources of wildfire ignition.

5.2 LOCATIONS OF FIRE ZONES
PPC’s service territory contains no locations of high fire hazard zones, and none of its service territory is within State Responsibility Areas (SRAs).
A single incident in 2019 is the only known ignition event since PPC began operating the utility in 1997. This human
-caused event was a result of vandalism and burned
approximately 40 acres of brush and scrub on the south end of the island.
243
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 16
6.0 WILDFIRE PREVENTATIVE STRATEGIES
6.1 HIGH FIRE THREAT DISTRICT
PPC was not a participant in the development of the CPUC Fire-Threat Map,3 which designates a High-Fire Threat District. PPC’s utility operations are not within any CPUC identified High-Fire Threat District.
PPC self-performed identifying any areas of PPC’s service territory that are at an elevated risk of power line caused ignitions. PPC has incorporated the elements of this plan and prudent utility practice into its construction, inspection, maintenance, repair, and clearance practices, where applicable
6.2 WEATHER MONITORING
PPC monitors current and forecasted
weather data from a variety of
sources including:
• United States National
Weather Service.
• National Fire Danger Rating
System.
• National Interagency Fire
Center – Predictive Services for
Northern California.
• Local Fire District Warnings.
PPC utilizes commercially available
internet services to monitor local and regional weather conditions. For temperature and humidity and related current local and forecast conditions including alerts, we refer to www.Weather.com
For current and forecast wind conditions, PPC -Island Energy utilizes www.Windfinder.com to monitor prevailing winds within its service territory and the surrounding region.
Windfinder has eight (8) monitoring stations in Vallejo and nearby, providing a high- resolution view of prevailing winds at any given time. The greater San Francisco Bay Area has several dozens of Windfinder monitoring points.
PPC receives Fire Watch, Red Flag and related alerts, such as San Pablo Bay and Napa River small craft advisories, from the National Weather Service (NWS) directly to its computer
3 Adopted by CPUC Decision 17-12-024.
244
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 17
task bars that will trigger system watch activities such as vehicle patrols of the system’s 61 poles. PPC operates its utility in NWS weather zone 018 (CAZ018).
PPC assigns one of four operating conditions based on the relevant weather data and knowledge of local conditions:
Normal: During normal conditions, no changes are made to operations or work policy.
Elevated: During elevated ignition conditions, PPC will periodically monitor both electrical system and weather conditions.
Extreme: During extreme ignition conditions, PPC will perform mobile patrols and inspections of the distribution system within areas of high vegetation and ignition risk.
Red Flag: If the National Weather Service declares a Red Flag Warning for any portion of PPC’s service territory, PPC may selectively de-energize portions of its overhead distribution system.
6.3 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
PPC’s electric facilities are designed and constructed to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. PPC treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities, and PPC meets or exceeds all standards in GO 95. PPC also monitors and follows the National Electric Safety Code as appropriate.
6.4 VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
PPC meets or exceeds the minimum industry standard vegetation management practices.
Please refer to Exhibit C, PPC Metrics FY 2022 – 2023. PPC meets:
• Public Resources Code Sections 4292; 4293, 4294, and 4296; • Title 14 Section 1257 of California Code of Regulation; • Public Resources Code section 4293;
• GO 95 Rule 35; and

PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 19
performs more frequent and detailed inspections of any such trees, and in cases where “hazard trees” (Dead, Dying, Diseased or leaning) could strike the facilities, will work with the City of Vallejo (or property owner) to remove the tree or portion of the tree that poses a risk. Please refer to Exhibit C – PPC Pole Segments
6.5 INSPECTIONS
PPC meets or exceeds the minimum inspection requirements provided in CPUC GO 165 and CPUC GO 95, Rule 18. Pursuant to these rules, PPC inspects electric facilities in areas of high fire threat more frequently than the other areas of its service territory.
Additionally, PPC staff use their knowledge of the specific environmental and geographical conditions to determine when areas outside of a higher fire threat area require more frequent inspections.
If PPC staff discovers a facility in need of repair that is owned by an entity other than PPC (such as a utility customer), PPC will issue a notice to repair to the facility owner and work to ensure that necessary repairs are completed promptly.
PPC works to ensure that all inspections to be performed within its service territory are completed generally in late spring, with mitigation performed not later than September 1st.
PPC monitors drought conditions and other relevant factors throughout the year to determine if inspections should be completed in a shorter timeframe.
6.6 WORKFORCE TRAINING
PPC has implemented work rules and complementary training programs for its workforce to help reduce the likelihood of a PPC related ignition.
Specific training includes safety monitoring of system distribution facilities, identification of circuit disconnect / isolation points and right-of-way brush management and removal.
6.7 RECLOSING POLICY
“Reclosers” are electrical fault detection devices that trip-open when detecting an electrical fault, but then “reclose” the circuit to test if the fault was temporary.
PPC does not currently employ the use of ‘reclosers’ within its service territory and does not have plans to add such devices in the future.
247
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 20
6.8 DE-ENERGIZATION
PPC has the authority to preemptively shut off power due to ignition-threat conditions;
however, this option will only be used in extraordinary circumstances. PPC will make a case- by-case decision to shut off power based on the following considerations:
• Red Flag Warnings issued by the National Weather Service for fire weather zones that contain PPC circuits;
• PPC staff assessment of local conditions, including wind speed (sustained and gust), humidity and temperature, fuel moisture, fuel loading and data from area weather stations;
• Real-time information from staff located in areas identified as at risk of being subject to extreme weather conditions;
• Input from PPC, fire experts and vegetation experts;
• Input from local and state fire authorities regarding the potential consequences of ignitions in select locations;
• Alternative ways to reroute power to affected areas;
• Awareness of mandatory or voluntary evacuation orders in place; • Expected impact of de-energizing circuits on essential services; • Other operational considerations to minimize potential ignitions, including the blocking of reclosers on the identified circuit(s);
• On-going fire activity throughout PPC territory and California; • Ability to notify customers;
• Notifications to local governments and public officials; and • Potential impacts to communities and customers
6.9 GRID HARDENING
The North Island, as shown in Exhibit B has few active facilities, contains 14 wood poles, and is slated for full mixed-use development (residential, commercial). At the time of development, any remaining overhead lines and poles will be removed, and all electrical facilities will be undergrounded. Circuit maintenance and vegetation management will continue until such time.
The two other overhead circuits – Club Drive and South Island – will be undergrounded at such time the poles and related appurtenances are no longer serviceable. Vegetation management will continue until that time. All other above-ground facilities, such as 248
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 21
substations, are fenced, have security lighting and are subject to annual vegetation management.
7.0 COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PUBLIC AWARENESS
PPC has performed community outreach regarding potential ignitions and power outage risk in three ways:
•
PPC had previously drafted and issued a statement regarding the potential for power interruptions on Mare Island due to PG&E PSPS an ignition risk. PPC has posted the Wildfire Mitigation Plan on its website under “Regulations and Rates”. PPC also uses social media and the Everbridge communications platform for public outreach. • Responding to individual customer inquiries regarding the potential for power interruptions.
• Fiscal Year Public Rate Hearings on Mare Island
Going forward, other public meetings and tools such as ‘Everbridge’ will be employed. PPC will also continue to use social media to communicate important public and customer information.
7.1 IMPACTS TO PUBLIC SAFETY
In the event of the need to shut off power within the service territory, or when PG&E’s supply of power to PPC is shut off, the following may be impacted:
• Customers with special medical devices requiring power and not having backup. • City of Vallejo streetlights and traffic signals are out • US Coast Guard ship traffic radar station is out
• Vallejo G Street Causeway Bridge is inoperable until a temporary power generator is connected.
• Note that many critical facilities within the utility service territory have back-up generation, including the VA Medical Clinic, US Coast Guard communications facility and WETA Bay Ferry terminal.
• There are no water treatment, wastewater treatment or primary police or fire facilities within the utility service territory.
7.2 CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION PROTOCOLS
The basic protocols for customer notification remain telephone, email, the utility website and social media.
249
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 22
Customers will be notified in advance of a planned shutdown, whether by PPC or by PG&E – to the extent PPC is made aware of or can anticipate a grid-wide shutdown event by PG&E.
Future customer and public notification schemes include ‘Everbridge’ email, phone and text notifications.
8.0 RESTORATION OF SERVICE
Restoration of electric distribution services will be per PPC utility operation procedures.
Such procedures include, but are not limited to:
•
Inspect involved facilities and any related facilities for damage and/or operability.
Perform repairs or replacement as may be necessary.
• Check relay protections and circuit breaker status for correct setting / position. • Confirm circuit phasing.
• Perform circuit switching per switching protocol.
• Confirm restoration and normal operation of system.
• Perform final safety check.
9.0 EVALUATION OF THE PLAN
9.1 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PLAN EXECUTION
The PPC Power Company Manager is responsible for overseeing this WMP. The Power Company Manager assigns tasks to the Utility Technicians or Line Worker as needed and as governed by this plan. Additionally, the Power Company Manager may contract with outside vegetation management or utility maintenance providers to augment internal resources. The Power Company Manager is responsible for:
• Overall Responsibility for Implementation of the WMP. • Tree trimming to maintain clearances required by PPC Standards. Vegetation removal at base of poles in accordance with PPC Standards. • Weather monitoring for Red Flag Warnings.
• Implementation of enhanced safety measures during Red Flag Warnings Collection and analysis of outage statistics and fire incidents in the PPC Fire Zone.
250
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 23
9.2 METRICS AND ASSUMPTIONS FOR MEASURING PLAN PERFORMANCE PPC will track two metrics to measure the performance of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan:
•
number of ignitions
• wires down within the service territory.
Metric: PPC Ignitions
For purposes of this metric, a fire ignition is defined as follows:
•
A PPC facility was associated with the fire;
• The fire was self-propagating and of a material other than electrical and/or communication facilities;
• The resulting fire traveled greater than one linear meter from the ignition point; and • PPC has knowledge that the fire occurred.
In future Wildfire Mitigation Plans, PPC will provide the number of ignitions that occurred that were less than 10 acres in size. Any fires greater than 10 acres will be individually described.
Metric: Wires Down
The second metric is the number of distribution and/or transmission wires downed within PPC’s service territory. For purposes of this metric, a “wires down” event includes any instance where an electric transmission (PPC does not own, operate, or maintain transmission facilities) or primary distribution conductor falls to the ground or on to a foreign object.
PPC does not have any facilities within a defined High Fire Threat District PPC will not normalize this metric by excluding unusual events, such as severe storms or vandalism – such as attempted copper theft and poles that have been vandalized in the past. Instead, PPC will supplement this metric with a qualitative description of any such
unusual events.
9.3 IMPACT OF METRICS ON PLAN
In the initial years, PPC anticipates that there will be relatively limited data gathered through these metrics. However, as the data collection history becomes more robust, PPC will be able to identify areas of its operations and service territory that are disproportionately impacted. PPC will then evaluate potential improvements to the plan.
Refer to Exhibit C – PPC Metrics FY 2024 – 2025.
251
PITTSBURG POWER COMPANY WWW.PP.ISLANDENERGY.COM 24
9.4 MONITORING AND AUDITING THE PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan is developed by the utility Power Company Manager with initial review by his retained executive management professional. The plan is then forwarded to the PPC
Executive Secretary for review, who also serves as the City of Pittsburg Deputy City Manager.
The PPC Executive Secretary may seek additional review from the Planning Department and the City Attorney’s office. Upon completion of the internal review and all comments have been incorporated, a Staff Report is drafted along with a Resolution for adoption by the PPC Board of Directors.
The updated plan, along with the Staff Report and Resolution are presented to the PPC Board annually. The PPC Board will conduct a Public Hearing on the plan every three years, which will be noticed directly to customers and interested parties within the PPC service territory along with local media outlets and social media.
9.5 IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES IN THE PLAN Deficiencies in the plan will be identified by ongoing distribution system safety reviews, field operations, and identified ‘lessons learned’ from other POU’s.
Responsibility for correcting deficiencies within the plan and implementing corrective actions or plans will be the responsibility of the Power Company Manager.
9.6 MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INSPECTIONS
PPC will monitor the effectiveness of its inspections through written reports and periodic field verification by others, including the Power Company Manager.
10.0 INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR
Public Utilities Code section 8387© requires PPC to engage with a qualified Independent Evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure to review and assess the comprehensiveness of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan. The Independent Evaluator must issue a report that is posted to PPC’s website. This report must also be presented to PPC Board of Directors at a public hearing.
Going forward, PPC will utilize the City of Vallejo Fire Marshal as the qualified Independent Evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical distribution infrastructure and related facilities on Mare Island Vallejo.
The Fire Marshal Independent Evaluator is physically located on Mare Island Vallejo and is familiar with the PPC service territory, utility operations and has worked with PPC on specific potential ignition hazards previously.
