Item #2

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

October 21, 2025
City Manager

TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

AGREEMENT WITH CITYGATE ASSOCIATES, LLC FOR A COMPREHENSIVE

CITYWIDE ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT IN A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $249,982

SUMMARY
Following a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process, including two rounds of interviews with finalist firms, staff recommends awarding a professional services agreement to Citygate Associates, LLC for a comprehensive citywide organizational assessment. The 12- month assessment will evaluate operational efficiencies, organizational structure, staffing resources, customer service delivery, and revenue opportunities.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Citygate Associates, LLC for a comprehensive citywide organizational assessment in a not-to-exceed amount of $249,982.

BACKGROUND
The City of Pleasanton recently engaged in extensive community engagement regarding the budget and strategies to address the City's fiscal deficit, including the need to evaluate citywide operations for operational efficiencies. To achieve this, staff identified an organizational assessment as a Priority 1 "Must-Do" project in the recently City Council- approved project prioritization framework for Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27. The goal of the project is to evaluate operational effectiveness, resource allocation, and strategic alignment of critical municipal departments. The City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on July 11, 2025, generating ten qualified responses.

An evaluation panel from the City Manager's Office, Finance Department, and Human Resources Department reviewed all proposals. Vendors were evaluated based on their understanding of the City's needs, relevant municipal experience, available resources, including adequate staffing and expertise to handle all assessment tasks, references from similar California cities, and cost. Proposal costs ranged from $84,000 to $413,815. Based on the evaluation criteria, the top three firms (Citygate Associates, BakerTilly, Raftelis) were selected for two rounds of interviews.

Vendors provided additional information on communication support and an optional assessment of the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD). The optional LPFD assessment was not included in the base scope as it would require coordination with the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department Joint Powers Authority and cost-sharing discussions with the City of Livermore. Staff will return to the City Council with a separate recommendation after a determination is made.

Assessment
Baseline Cost
BakerTilly 7 Months $21,500 $16,500 $184,000
Citygate
Associates
12 Months $20,000 $40,000 $229,982
Raftelis 8 Months $12,000 $24,250 $179,925

Ultimately, staff recommends Citygate Associates. Although Citygage provides a higher cost proposal compared to the other two top vendors, it offers a more detailed and robust project scope and stood out among all other proposals with its depth of team expertise, proven experience, and strong understanding of the City’s needs.

DISCUSSION
RFQ Process
The RFQ initially focused on three departments (Development Services, Public Works, and Police). However, during the interview process, consultant consensus indicated that a baseline approach covering all City departments (excluding LPFD) would provide greater value and more actionable recommendations. Consultants noted that operational challenges span multiple departments, talent retention has organization-wide root causes, and recommendations are more effectively implemented when viewed holistically.

Citygate Associates, LLC was selected based on:
• Extensive California municipal experience (including El Cerrito, West Hollywood, Sonora, and Monterey County)
• Proven track record with comprehensive assessments
• Customized methodology to meet Pleasanton’s needs
• Strong implementation action plans

Project Scope/Timeline
The assessment will be conducted over 12 months, following five core tasks:

Task 1: Initiate the Project (Months 1-2)
• Project kickoff meetings with City leadership
• Develop stakeholder communication and engagement plan • Obtain and review documentation from all departments

Task 2: Communicate with and Involve Stakeholders (Months 2-3) • On-site interviews with City Council members
• Individual and group interviews with department personnel and City Manager

Page 16 of 408 ends
Page 3 of 4 ends

Task 3: Conduct Organizational Assessment (Months 4-8)
• Conduct comparable agency survey (4-6 agencies)
• High-level assessment of departmental structure, reporting, and staffing for all departments
• Process and efficiency evaluation
• Assessment of reporting and accountability systems
• Address high-priority areas for Development Services, Public Works, and Police

Task 4: Present Draft Findings and Recommendations (Months 8-10) • Mid-Project Review with City leadership to discuss preliminary findings • Additional focused analysis based on City input
• Prepare comprehensive Draft Report with recommendations and implementation strategy

Task 5: Prepare and Present Final Report (Months 11-12) • Deliver Final Report and Implementation Action Plan
• Present findings to City Council and management team

Citygate Associates will conduct a comprehensive assessment using document review, interviews with the City Council, directors and key personnel, staff focus groups, peer benchmarking, workload analysis, and financial analysis. The assessment will evaluate:
• Departmental structure, reporting relationships, and alignment with Council goals • Staffing levels, vacancies, and workload distribution • Process efficiencies and bottlenecks
• Technology effectiveness and enhancement opportunities • Performance metrics and accountability systems
• Cross-departmental workflows and coordination

Key Deliverables
The consultant will provide a comprehensive written report containing detailed analysis of each department, organizational structure recommendations, staffing proposals and resource allocation strategies, process improvement recommendations, technology enhancement opportunities, and cost-benefit analysis of major recommendations. An Implementation Action Plan will accompany the report, featuring prioritized recommendations with clear timelines, a phased implementation approach, resource requirements and budget implications, performance metrics and success indicators, and assignment of responsible parties for each recommendation. Citygate Associates will deliver formal presentations to City Council, provide briefings for the management team, and conduct department leadership sessions. Upon completion, the organizational assessment will provide City Council and staff with a strategic framework for evaluating and improving service delivery to meet current and future community needs.

EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
An organizational assessment advances operational excellence and fiscal sustainability by examining service delivery, accessibility, and employee development opportunities. The comprehensive citywide approach ensures equity considerations are evaluated systematically across all departments.

OUTREACH
The RFQ was posted through the City's website, receiving ten responses.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action advances the ONE Pleasanton strategic plan Goal B. Optimizing Our Organization:

Organizational Effectiveness and is listed as a "Must-Do" project in the project prioritization framework for Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27.

FISCAL IMPACT
The not-to-exceed amount of $249,982 includes communication support ($20,000). Funding is budgeted in the City Manager’s contingency fund, non-departmental budget [Fund 00199100/Professional Services 430101].

An investment in a comprehensive organizational assessment is anticipated to generate cost savings and operational efficiencies through the implementation of Citygate Associates' recommendations. Based on Citygate Associates' experience with comparable municipalities, organizational assessments typically identify opportunities for cost savings, revenue enhancement, and efficiency improvements that will exceed the cost of the study when implemented.

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 1 SECTION B—CITYGATE APPROACH, SCOPE, AND TIMELINES This section presents Citygate’s updated project approach to conduct the Citywide Organizational Assessment of all departments followed by a single integrated Work Plan and a discussion of project add-ons including a communications plan and an assessment of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department. The section concludes with an updated timeline for the expanded scope of services and an updated Project Team organization chart showing assigned consultants for each department. B.1 UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK B.1.1 Project Context Citygate understands the City seeks valuable information and insights on how to best provide services to the community you serve. We understand that the City has limited financial resources and is projecting a severe and increasing structural deficit of $13 million over the next eight years. Balancing the City’s desire to maintain high service levels and to adhere to the City’s 2023–2028 Strategic Plan with the financial realities you face requires a thorough analysis of all City functions and thoughtful, creative recommendations. This analysis will seek to find long-term sustainable cost-saving measures and eliminate redundancies, waste, and inefficient or unnecessary operations. We commend the City of Pleasanton for undertaking this important project! B.1.2 Project Scope, Overview, and Objectives Citygate proposes to perform an Organizational Assessment of all City departments for the City of Pleasanton. The objective of the study is to provide valuable information for City decisionmakers on how to best provide services to the community given the City’s limited financial resources. Citygate will evaluate current conditions, analyze opportunities for organizational changes and process improvements that can further enhance service to customers and stakeholders, evaluate future service demands, and develop an Implementation Action Plan with a prioritized implementation schedule of recommendations and options for how to HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR APPROACH… u We know that no single measure (listening, documents, or data) tells the entire story u 360-degree listening is essential, and is tailored to each audience u We listen carefully, compare what is heard to data, and work closely with City team to close gaps u We provide ongoing communication, including monthly status reports u Recommendations must be regulatory compliant and feasible given your culture and fiscal constraints u We will look beyond data to learn of other operational demands that consume staff time u “Quick win” recommendations are identified early in study u When listening and data align but the results are surprising, we spend the time with you to reach understanding

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 2 adjust services and operations to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability and maintain the high quality of life in your community. Included in this objective is an emphasis on identifying opportunities for cross-functional collaboration and more efficient sharing of resources among City departments; and developing service delivery performance measures and benchmarks to measure progress. Please note that this scope of services has been modified slightly from the scope originally defined in the City’s Request for Qualifications to reflect our understanding of how best to address the City’s priorities cost-effectively at a higher level, with sensitivity to the impact on City staff of simultaneously reviewing each department. For each department, Citygate will perform the following. ¨ Perform high-level assessment of departmental structure: Ø Evaluate core departmental functions and processes for alignment with City Council goals and City priorities. Ø Review reporting structures, roles, and responsibilities to identify redundancies, gaps, or inefficiencies. Ø Analyze staffing levels, vacancies, and workload distribution to assess resource allocation and balance. ¨ Perform high-level assessment of process and efficiency: Ø Assess the effectiveness of current human, financial, and technological resources in meeting departmental objectives. Ø Identify inefficiencies or bottlenecks in key processes and recommend opportunities for improvement or cost savings. ¨ Perform high-level assessment of reporting and accountability: Ø Recommend systems and tools to enhance accountability and maintain service quality across departments. ¨ Engage with internal stakeholders including staff in all departments and elected officials, to gather feedback regarding potential opportunities for improvements to efficiency, customer service, and organizational culture. ¨ Frame recommendations that present the most cost-effective and strategic way to meet current and future needs, while promoting a culture of high performance, accountability, transparency, and community engagement, and ensuring consistency in the application of laws, codes, and other regulations.

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 3 ¨ Recommend practical and achievable solutions that: Ø Clarify roles, responsibilities, and authority of staff Ø Eliminate duplication and overlap of responsibilities within each department and between other City departments Ø Improve the delivery time and quality of services provided by each department Ø Improve communications within and between departments Ø Improve communications with customers and stakeholders Ø Identify opportunities for new technology that would reduce resource demands Ø Evaluate future service demands and evaluate staffing levels, funding, and revenue sources to meet that demand Ø Outline a variety of cost reduction strategies within both present and future scenarios to align service delivery goals with available resources. Specific departmental priorities will be addressed for Development Services, Public Works, and Police as follows, with specific areas of emphasis for other departments determined in conjunction with the City throughout the course of the study. ¨ Development Services (Community & Economic Development, Business License, Engineering): Ø Timeliness and efficiency of permit processing Ø Technology system evaluation (permit tracking, online portals) Ø Customer service standards and performance metrics Ø Business license renewal and compliance efficiency (contract vs. in-house) ¨ Public Works Ø Vacant position recruitment strategy Ø Water/sewer operations analysis Ø Contract vs. in-house service delivery ¨ Police Ø Staffing deployment and patrol coverage analysis

Page 50 of 408 ends

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 4 Ø Response time evaluation Ø Technology utilization (records management, mobile reporting) Ø Performance metrics and accountability systems Ø Training program effectiveness review/leadership training B.2 HIGHLIGHTS OF PROJECT APPROACH Citygate’s proposed methodology is built around the following core elements: Technical Analysis Citygate will work with staff to gather all available documentation regarding organizational structure, staffing, policies, procedures, performance data, budgets, and technology. Our subject matter experts will review and analyze the documentation to create a broad understanding of each department’s operational strengths and weaknesses. Our technical analysis will also include the following core elements: Internal Procedures We will evaluate each department’s service levels and standards, performance measures, performance reporting, and the employee performance management system for alignment with stakeholder expectations. We will review, at a high level, the current operating policies and procedures, workflows, organizational structure and management systems, spans of control, organizational relationships, interdivisional and interdepartmental coordination, communications, information systems, administration and supervision, job duties, opportunities for outsourcing or insourcing, risk management coordination and practices, overtime management practices, labor agreements, and related aspects to make findings and determine recommendations. Employee Learning and Development We will focus on assessing existing and future service demand, allocation of staff to meet these demands, staff retention and recruitment, training needs and resources, professional development approaches to support succession, planning tools and technology available to staff, and the overall staffing strategy.

Project highlights by the numbers: • Over 20 seasoned consultants with redundancy across every project discipline • Hundreds of years of practitioner expertise • 5 core tasks across 12 months • 2 Project Briefings (1 Mid-Project Briefing and 1 Final Report Briefing)

Page 51 of 408 ends

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 5 Finance We will evaluate the current budget and funding levels, including an assessment of the ability to maintain and/or enhance service levels, attract and retain staff, and implement new technology. We will provide recommendations on alternative approaches to funding if appropriate given current funding, projected demand, technology needs, and/or changes in service scope or levels. Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder engagement is perhaps the most important step in an efficiency study. Nobody knows better where opportunities lie than the people who execute the processes every day or who are dependent on those services for their livelihood. The best solutions often come from brainstorming with stakeholders. While there may be different perspectives from a variety of participants, it is always rewarding to find how people on different sides of the table seek the same solutions. Our team will encourage honest feedback, asking for stakeholder input before offering ours for their critique. We can then synthesize the feedback with benchmarking standards, performance data, and available resources to frame recommendations. Our Work Plan includes jointly developing a communication and engagement plan with the City. Project Customization Boilerplate recommendations are not our goal at Citygate. After completing technical analysis and stakeholder engagement, our team will meet with staff to filter potential solutions for context and culture specific to the City of Pleasanton. Our goal is to provide recommendations that are achievable not only financially, but politically and culturally as well. We find the best way to do that is to work in tandem with staff to understand the broader framework within which our recommendations must work. Following a Mid-Project Review with staff, we will move forward to finalize recommendations. Citygate offers additional beneficial elements such as an orientation meeting with City leadership, distribution of a Project Orientation Brochure at the initial kick-off meeting and during our on-site visit in Task 2, and a Mid-Project Review to discuss initial findings and recommendations with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Department Heads, and the assigned Project Manager. These elements will ensure that all internal and external stakeholders have the chance to participate in Citygate’s review in a constructive manner which is essential to ensure the project’s success.

Page 52 of 408 ends

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 6 B.3 PROFILE OF ASSESSMENT FACTORS For simplicity we have organized our assessment factors into the following broad themes:

B.4 POLICE SERVICES APPROACH Efficient and effective police services support continued efforts to reduce crime, reduce the fear of crime, respond to all types of public safety calls for service, and maintain the highest levels of community partnerships and engagement. As such, Citygate’s assessment and prioritized recommendations for the Police Department will classify both immediate needs and future milestones, identifying priorities, potential alternatives, and the consequences of inaction. Our commitment to active listening and collaboration with your community allows us to provide practical and implementable recommendations for the Department to thrive in the evolving environment of policing. You can trust us to personally meet with your staff, develop genuine relationships, and listen with the specific goal of learning not only what they do, but how they do it. Then—after developing a sufficiently informed foundation of knowledge of the Department and completing an analysis of data and all relevant reports, procedures, and practices—Citygate will offer recommendations that are implementable and tailored to the Department’s unique situation.

Page 53 of 408 ends

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 7 COPSTM Adaptive Methodology At Citygate, we strongly value our independence, as we believe it provides a significant benefit to both our analyses and our clients. Because we are not bound to any particular standards-setting organization—nor beholden to an exclusive methodological framework—we are free to choose from a variety of potential options based on what will be most effective for your agency. There is no “one-size-fits-all” formula to address police agency staffing, utilization, deployment performance metrics, etc. Thus, to accurately assess your specific agency and provide coordinated best practice standards and recommendations that are attuned to your unique needs, we utilize the Citygate Operational Policing Strategy (COPS) analysis model. COPS is an adaptive methodology by which Citygate chooses best practices and benchmarks from a matrix of options based on the local context, culture, values, and scale of your agency. Having assessed your community’s unique local context and fact pattern, Citygate will connect the Department’s performance to metrics and standards found in the published work of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), the National Policing Institute (NPI), the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO), the International Academies of Emergency Dispatching (IAED), and other standards-setting organizations and cutting-edge scholars to ensure our recommendations best fit your specific policing model and needs. Data-Driven and Fact-Based Analysis Our comprehensive work will provide a guide to the Department for the City’s current and future service delivery demands. In addition to conducting a data-driven assessment of field services deployment, Citygate’s review will incorporate relevant, measurable Department and City data, and will delineate our analysis of the Department’s capacity to provide the highest level of law enforcement services possible within the context of the City’s resources and infrastructure. Citygate utilizes Microsoft Power BI as an analysis tool, and our trained statisticians provide local government agencies with historical and up-to-date analytics related to Computer-Aided Dispatch data to better understand the response, time management, deployment, and geographical information related to an agency. For this review, one example of Citygate’s data analysis will include the use of Power BI to analyze the “average committed time per hour” and “average Patrol units committed” to determine a per-hour utilization rate for predictive purposes. For an evaluation of staffing, this means of analysis enables Citygate to simulate the impact to changes in personnel to demonstrate potential changes in workload utilization and where the most positive results can be expected. Citygate applies this

Page 54 of 408 ends

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 8 data-informed, predictive analysis to make the most specific staffing and scheduling recommendations, by time of day and day of week. This ensures that even agencies that are experiencing difficulty in the recruitment and retention of authorized, sworn personnel can still benefit greatly from targeted realignments in scheduling and coverage where applicable. A small example of our workload and utilization analysis is shown in the following figure. Figure—Example – Workload and Utilization Analysis Quantitative Results Our capacity to simulate the considerable positive impact to patrol utilization that can be expected from implementing our recommendations makes all the difference to the agencies we serve. Examples such as these are why, if selected for this important project, the City can be confident that Citygate’s findings and recommendations will be thoughtful and leading-edge, positioning the City and Department to see through the overwhelming amount of data and achieve quantitative results. Our approach and analysis will be based on the City’s specific context to ensure a relevant and actionable outcome. Through the COPS methodology, Citygate’s Project Team will work with you to develop specialized strategies that position the Department and City for success in achieving a better future for the agency and community.

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 9 B.5 WORK PLAN (CORE PROJECT SCOPE) Citygate’s Work Plan to address the scope of work identified is comprised of five core tasks, each with clear task objectives, detailed sub-tasks, and key milestones/deliverables. This Work Plan reflects our understanding of how best to address the City’s priorities cost-effectively at a higher level, with sensitivity to the impact on City staff of simultaneously reviewing each department. Our recommendations, which will be developed through our highly iterative, transparent, and collaborative approach to analysis, will lay the groundwork for interdepartmental efficiency, effectiveness, and esprit de corps. Following this Work Plan, we discuss our approach to the requested assessment of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department. Task 1: Initiate and Manage the Project 1.1 Meet with the City to Initiate Study: A key to a successful review is a mutual understanding of the project’s scope and objectives. Citygate will begin with a virtual pre-kick-off call between Citygate’s Project Manager and the City Manager to discuss project goals and objectives and the approach to the project kick-off meeting. Next, Citygate’s Project Team will meet virtually with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Department Heads, and the designated Project Manager for the project kick-off meeting to correlate our understanding of the study’s scope and ensure that our Work Plan and project schedule are mutually agreeable. We will prepare a Project Orientation Brochure that can be used to inform staff and stakeholders of the project objectives and approach. This early effort to clearly define expectations, roles, and lines of communication should result in better focus on substantive issues as the engagement progresses. For us to be most effective, we will continuously communicate throughout the duration of the study, beginning with our first contact with City staff. Our key message must be that our role is not an adversarial one. Our role is to provide an independent review of the City Departments. We believe our ability to initiate and maintain positive, two-way communication as the study proceeds will result in not only well-supported findings but also a consensus and buy-in among City personnel concerning the acceptance of our work and the benefit of implementing our recommendations. It is crucial that the project be viewed by the City staff and officials as a valuable and worthwhile endeavor.

1.2 Develop Stakeholder Communication and Engagement Plan: We will collaborate with the City on effective strategies for communicating project objectives and status to the community and key stakeholders, as well as determining interview and engagement strategies to solicit the input of key stakeholders and customers. 1.3 Obtain and Review Documentation: To fully understand operations, we need to obtain and review a number of documents, including the following: the mission statement; overall work plan; departmental goals related to staff and applicants; organization charts; process flowcharts; Comprehensive Plan; City Ordinances; budgeted vs. filled vs. assigned positions by work unit; performance targets and measures; position descriptions; plan check procedures; staff training data; inspection scheduling; occupancy permits; staff reports and minutes; applications and forms; operating and workload statistics; fees and charges; expansion design plans; contracts; specialized reports such as environmental and engineering reports; other policies and procedures; and pertinent City, state, and federal regulations and guidelines. For each Department, we will review City studies being conducted concurrently with the Organizational Assessment Study to avoid duplication or to identify any gaps that could affect the assessment and to align findings. The initial interviews and document review will help us understand the core workflow processes and procedures of the Departments. We will also conduct unit walk-throughs, document where processes are functioning well, and where opportunities for improvement exist. 1.4 Monitor Engagement Progress and Completion of Tasks: We have combined the initial task of starting the project with the ongoing task of monitoring, directing, and administering the project. In addition to ongoing oral progress reports with assigned City executives, we will provide monthly written status reports. Key Milestones/Deliverables: u Orientation Brochure. u Document Request List. u Ongoing oral progress reports and monthly written status reports.

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 11 Task 2: Communicate with and Involve Stakeholders 2.1 Conduct Interviews with City Leadership and Key City Personnel: To enhance our understanding of the issues at stake in this review, we will meet on-site with and interview the City’s project leadership team as necessary. A goal of the interviews is to orient the consultant team to the history and current context in which the study is taking place. These meetings will also enable us to identify key staff and stakeholders to gain their insights in subsequent tasks. We will conduct on-site meetings with City personnel identified from each of the following departments. Interviews will be conducted during one on-site day using a mix of individual and group formats to connect with a broad array of staff from each department. Citygate may also supplement our interviews with an electronic questionnaire provided to key staff with oversight of program and division areas to obtain specific feedback about staffing, service delivery, and cost of service. ¨ Development Services ¨ Public Works ¨ Police ¨ Internal Services (City Manager’s Office, Finance, Information Technology, City Clerk, Human Resources) ¨ Library & Recreation 2.2 Conduct Interviews with the City Council: Citygate’s Project Manager will be on-site to meet with City Council members. These interviews will permit us to gain their insights at the start of the review process and provide direction regarding specific issues needing focus. As necessary, pre-meeting information will be provided to interviewees by email or hard copy to allow for sufficient preparation. Assistance from City staff will be required in scheduling these meetings and providing interview/meeting rooms. 2.3 Post-Interviews Debrief with City Manager: At the conclusion of Citygate’s interviews, we propose a meeting between Citygate Project Manager and the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and assigned Project Manager to discuss initial themes and findings emerging from our document review and interviews and allow initial feedback on areas that may warrant deeper focus. This allows Citygate’s

Page 58 of 408 ends

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 12 consultants to spend their time most effectively on areas of greatest priority and need for the City. 2.4 Additional Stakeholder Engagement: As determined in conjunction with the City as part of a stakeholder engagement and communication plan, Citygate will employ additional stakeholder engagement strategies that may include on-site interviews, focus groups, and/or online surveys with a mix of internal and/or external stakeholders. Citygate will partner with City staff to effectively message information about the project to internal and external stakeholders. Key Milestones/Deliverables: ¨ On-site interviews and stakeholder engagement Task 3: Conduct Organizational Assessment 3.1 Conduct Comparable Agency Survey: We will conduct a comparable agency analysis that compares major policies, practices, and staffing by Department. We recommend surveying four to six agencies with a list of agencies that is jointly determined with the City. Citygate will require the assistance of City staff to forward questionnaires and/or online survey forms to other agencies for completion. 3.2 High-Level Assessment of Departmental Structure: ¨ Evaluate core departmental functions and processes for alignment with City Council goals and City priorities. ¨ Review reporting structures, roles, and responsibilities to identify redundancies, gaps, or inefficiencies. ¨ Analyze staffing levels, vacancies, and workload distribution to assess resource allocation and balance. 3.3 High-Level Assessment of Process and Efficiency: ¨ Assess the effectiveness of current human, financial, and technological resources in meeting departmental objectives. ¨ Identify inefficiencies or bottlenecks in key processes and recommend opportunities for improvement or cost savings.

3.4 High-Level Assessment of Reporting and Accountability: ¨ Recommend systems and tools to enhance accountability and maintain service quality across departments. 3.5 Assess High Priority Areas per Department ¨ As outlined in our scope of services, we will address the areas of specific emphasis and high priority for Development Services, Public Works, and Police, and areas of emphasis for other departments as determined throughout the project. Key Milestones/Deliverables: ¨ Comparable agency information for inclusion in Draft Report. ¨ Organizational findings and conclusions. Task 4: Present Draft Findings and Recommendations and Prepare Draft Report 4.1 Review Preliminary Findings with the City: We will share a summary of preliminary findings and recommendations during a Mid-Project Review with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Department leadership, and appointed Project Manager and discuss key service delivery and efficiency strategies before preparing the Draft Report. Since our recommendations may include changes to support and maintain new processes and procedures, it is important to create mutual understanding by involving City Executives and Department leaders before writing the Draft Report. 4.2 Determine Areas Needing Deeper Review: After the Mid-Project Review, Citygate will solicit City input on areas that warrant a deeper analysis or more focused implementation planning. Citygate will reserve approximately 40 consultant hours to conduct additional interviews and analysis before preparation of the Draft Report. 4.3 Prepare Draft Report and Review with City: We will then prepare a Draft Report that includes recommendations and the proposed implementation strategy for each Department. The report will be provided to appropriate City personnel, as determined by the City, to allow sufficient time for review and discussion of any areas that require further clarification or amplification. The written report will detail organizational capabilities; challenges; goals and objectives for maintaining and

B.6 LIVERMORE-PLEASANTON FIRE DEPARTMENT (LPFD) ASSESSMENT While the specific scope of services, timeline, and budget can be further customized in conjunction with the City, we propose to conduct an effectiveness and efficiency review of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department assessing staffing, headquarters programs, and overall organizational structure and costs to meet existing needs and published best practices. Not proposed or budgeted are any feasible major changes to the current provision of services within the JPA, nor a Standards of Coverage study. The Citygate Fire Department Project team is illustrated in our Project Team chart at the end of this section and will consist of three fire services specialists and analysis from our finance director and city management consultants supporting each department review. Our Fire Department assessments are typically performed in accordance with guidelines and best practices from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Insurance Services Office (ISO), relevant federal and state laws and regulations, and other recognized industry best practices. Citygate’s work will be independent, meeting the City’s unique needs, while utilizing nationally recognized guidelines and best practices, federal and state mandates, and our deep understanding of local and regional Bay Area fact patterns and operating practices. “We work with consultants, obviously, all the time, but the work that Citygate did on this report is some of the best I’ve seen in my tenure here.” -Mr. Walt Ekard Former San Diego County CAO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

October 21, 2025
Community and Economic Development

TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO

AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA TO ALLOW THE

EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE

ANNEXATION OF THE MERRITT PROPERTY INTO THE CITY OF
PLEASANTON, AS FILED UNDER CASE NO. P22-1089

SUMMARY
In July 2024, the City Council approved a request to annex the 111-lot, 46-acre residential subdivision, known as the Merritt Property, into the City of Pleasanton. As part of the approval, the City Council made findings of conformance to the General Plan, including that the annexation implements the City’s General Plan land use policies and provides for orderly growth at the City’s boundaries. Annexation of the property into Pleasanton requires approval by the Alameda County Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO), and thus an application for annexation was duly submitted to LAFCO following the City Council's approval of the project.

Under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 99, annexations require the negotiation and approval of a property tax transfer agreement between the affected city and county. The agreement allocates property tax revenues in a manner that reflects the shift of service responsibilities from the County to the City. LAFCO requires the adoption of a property tax transfer agreement as a condition of approval, and execution of the agreement will permit the Merritt Property annexation to move forward as authorized and approved by the City.

City and County staff have developed a draft agreement, reflecting a tax sharing formula consistent with several prior agreements between the two agencies. The agreement was approved by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors on September 9, 2025, and staff recommends the City Council make a similar approval.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the County of Alameda to allow the exchange of property tax revenue associated with the annexation of the Merritt Property into the City of Pleasanton, as filed under Case No. P22-1089.

BACKGROUND
The approved Merritt Property project comprises a 111-lot residential subdivision, including an age-qualified community with 92 single-family detached homes, 18 affordable senior courtyard detached and duet homes (including an Affordable Housing Agreement), one existing single- family residence, and related on- and off-site improvements on an approximately 46-acre site over four existing parcels. The associated Development Agreement, among other provisions, requires the project to contribute $1 million towards public safety facilities and/or equipment.

Page 69 of 408 ends
Page 2 of 4 ends

DISCUSSION
Staff and representatives of the County of Alameda have negotiated terms of a property tax transfer agreement that would allocate a share of the property tax revenues from the Merritt Property to the City of Pleasanton. The proposed agreement is consistent with past tax transfer agreements executed between the City and Alameda County (the County) for prior annexations. Key elements of the agreement include:
• Revenue Allocation: The agreement establishes the portion of the base and incremental property tax to be allocated to the City following annexation. More specifically, property tax revenue is divided into two components: base year revenues and incremental growth. The County retains the base property tax revenues already in place prior to annexation, while the City receives an agreed-upon share (determined by the weighted city-wide average pursuant to the City’s AB8 factor) of the incremental property tax growth generated after annexation.

• Service Responsibilities: Upon annexation, the City will assume responsibility for providing municipal services to the Merritt Property, including police, public works, library, parks, and other general government services. The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) would continue to provide fire protection to the site, which as a practical matter, is served by LPFD under existing agreements with the Alameda County Fire Department. Alameda County would continue to provide certain other services (e.g., courts, social services, etc.). The apportionment of property tax revenues reflects the future service provision responsibilities between the two agencies.

• LAFCO Requirement: Adoption of this agreement satisfies LAFCO’s requirement for property tax allocation prior to annexation approval.

Key benefits to the City include:
• Ensures the City receives its share of property tax revenues needed to provide municipal services to the Merritt Property.
• Aligns revenues with service obligations, promoting fiscal responsibility. • Advances the annexation process by satisfying a critical procedural requirement of LAFCO.
• Provides long-term fiscal stability as development occurs, allowing Pleasanton to directly benefit from property tax growth tied to the Merritt Property.

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved and executed the property tax transfer agreement on September 9, 2025. If approved by the City Council, the City Manager would execute the agreement and then forward it to LAFCO as part of the Merritt Property annexation application materials.

The proposed property tax transfer agreement ensures that Pleasanton receives its fair share of property tax revenues from the Merritt Property while assuming responsibility for municipal services. The agreement satisfies LAFCO requirements, supports orderly growth in accordance with the City’s General Plan, and provides long-term fiscal stability as development occurs. Approval of the agreement represents a significant step in advancing the

Page 70 of 408 ends
Page 3 of 4 ends

Merritt Property annexation and aligning revenues with service obligations, benefiting the City and its residents.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Re-Allocation
Separate from the property tax-sharing agreement, which is required to allow the annexation to proceed with LAFCO, staff is working with Alameda County to formalize a proposed agreement regarding the allocation of RHNA between the City and County. This agreement is not a requirement of the LAFCO process, but rather a separate step that occurs after annexation, and is administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission(MTC)/Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) as the regional Council of Goverments responsible for allocation of the RHNA. Under the initial terms proposed between the City and County staff, the County would transfer 18 above-moderate RHNA units to Pleasanton - this number is based on allowable development of the four existing parcels under County zoning, should the property remain within the County. Since the project includes 110 new units, inclusive of below-market- rate units, Pleasanton would net the majority of the future RHNA “credit” when building permits are issued and reported in the City’s annual Annual Progress Report (APR). Staff will bring the RHNA allocation agreement forward as a separate item at a future meeting, following LAFCO’s action on the annexation request.

EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
This action facilitates the development of the Merritt property, directly implementing the implementation of the Housing Element, a key goal of which is to increase housing opportunities, including those affordable to lower- and middle-income residents – both through inclusionary requirements and by creating more opportunities for partnerships with housing developers. The approved project would allow for the construction of 18 senior-age-qualified Below Market Rate units, consistent with the requirements of the City’s inclusionary ordinance.

This action also advances the sustainability goals of the Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2.0, Strategy TLU-3, to advance sustainable land use, and supports Action E6, which calls for the City to implement the Housing Element, aiming to achieve a balance between jobs and housing, including along transportation corridors such as Foothill Road.

OUTREACH
Notice of this meeting was published as a legal display advertisement in the Pleasanton Weekly in accordance with the noticing requirements of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. At the time this report was published, no comments were received by staff. Public comments received after publication of this report will be forwarded to the City Council as supplemental information prior to the hearing.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action advances the ONE Pleasanton Citywide strategic goal of Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs, Strategy 6, which aims to implement the Housing Element and develop a plan to end homelessness, meeting state requirements and providing opportunities for additional housing and shelter in the community. In general, this project would add 110 new residential units to Pleasanton’s housing stock, including 18 on-site affordable units, all of which would provide new housing opportunities for the senior community.

Similarly, this action directly supports the Funding Our Future Fiscal Sustainability Strategy 1

Page 71 of 408 ends
Page 4 of 4 ends

by allocating new property tax revenues to Pleasanton in conjunction with new development, ensuring the reliability of City infrastructure and services.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed tax transfer agreement would result in the transfer of property tax revenues from Alameda County to the City of Pleasanton. The formula on which the agreement is based reflects the cost of the additional services that would be provided to future residents by the City of Pleasanton, as opposed to Alameda County, after annexation. The actual amounts of property tax revenue will vary depending on future development and assessed valuations of the Merritt Property. Although assessed values are expected to substantially increase with the development of 92 new single-family homes and 18 moderate-income affordable units, compared to the largely undeveloped property that exists today. A recent analysis of future annexations in East Pleasanton indicated that, over time, annexation and high value residential development is expected to generate positive net General Fund revenues to support the provision of City services. Staff further notes that the Development Agreement and Conditions of Approval for the Merritt project place maintenance responsibilities for some project components on the future Homeowners Association (HOA), meaning that the City’s maintenance obligations for new infrastructure would be reduced, in addition to the proposed $1 Million public benefit contribution towards public safety improvements.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Approval of the property tax transfer agreement is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as it is a fiscal/administrative action. The City Council adopted adequate CEQA documentation in the form of a Section 15183 Consistency Checklist, as part of the City Council’s approval of the various entitlements for the Merritt Property.

Exhibit A lists all applicable existing addresses and parcel numbers affected by this Agreement and is incorporated herein. The Parties agree that for the annexation of the subject properties, the County of Alameda Auditor-Controller is directed to cause an exchange of property tax revenue as follows:

A. The City is entitled to, and shall receive, an allocation of computed property tax revenue equivalent to the share of property tax revenue it receives on a weighted average city-wide. The weighted city-wide average shall be computed annually as follows: multiply the City's current Tax Allocation Factor in each tax rate area within the City by the current secured assessed valuation in each tax rate area to arrive at a product for each tax rate area. The sum of those products is divided by the total secured assessed valuation within the City to arrive at a weighted city-wide average. The secured tax roll is used here to establish the weighted citywide average. However, the factors resulting from the application of the formula will apply to all tax rolls.

B. In the event that the City currently provides a service within its incorporated City limits such as Fire or Library, and if that service is currently being provided by a County taxing agency or special district in the territory proposed for annexation, the County shall receive an allocation of computed property tax revenue equivalent to the share of property tax revenue received by the County taxing agency or special district in the territory proposed for annexation. The County's receipt of that allocation shall not diminish the City's receipt of its allocation calculated under Section A above.

C. In the event that the City assumes full responsibility for a service not currently being provided by the City within its incorporated city limits, but being provided by a separate County taxing agency or special· district within the territory proposed for annexation, pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 99(b), the City shall receive, in addition to the allocation determined in Section A above, an allocation of computed

Page 76 of 408 ends

property tax revenue equivalent to the share of property tax revenue received by the County taxing agency or special district in the territory proposed for annexation.The County shall receive an allocation of computed property tax revenue equivalent to its current share of property tax revenue in the territory proposed for annexation plus the share or shares of property tax revenue allocated to it in Section B above, less the share of computed property tax revenue allocated to the City in Section A above, and in Section C above, as applicable.

D. In the event that this annexation includes or results in the detachment of one or more parcels or portions thereof from the City and those parcels or portions thereof are transferred to the County or to another jurisdiction, the City hereby waives any right, interest, or claim to property tax on such parcels or portions thereof as identified in Exhibit A. The parcels or portions thereof shall be transferred to the County or jurisdiction subject to the conditions of paragraphs A through D as specified in this Agreement.

This exchange of property tax revenues will be effective as to each property annexed within the subject annexation area for the fiscal year following the filing with the State Board of Equalization of the Certificate of Completion for such property providing the filing occurs prior to December 31 of the preceding year

ORDINANCE NO. 2299

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON AMENDING TITLE 20 AND TITLE 18 OF THE PLEASANTON MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT BY REFERENCE THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS TITLE 24 PARTS 1-12, INCLUDING THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL

BUILDING, EXISTING BUILDING, RESIDENTIAL, FIRE, WILDLAND-URBAN

INTERFACE, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, AND SWIMMING POOL AND SPA CODES; THE 2024 UNIFORM PLUMBING AND MECHANICAL CODES; THE 2023 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND THE 2025 CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING

STANDARDS CODE

WHEREAS, the State of California has revised and updated the California Building Standards Codes (Title 24 California Code of Regulations) related to buildings and construction to be effective State-wide on January 1, 2026; and

WHEREAS, the City of Pleasanton traditionally adopts the California Building Standards Codes by reference so that the City has the most current standards available under State law, with some local amendments related to our local geological, topographical and climatic conditions; and

WHEREAS, the City proposes, effective January 1, 2026, to repeal those previous California Building Standards Codes which will be superseded by the State’s newest codes, and adopt the most current California Building Standards Codes, with local amendments supported by specific findings about Pleasanton’s local geological, topographical, and climatic conditions; and

WHEREAS, in 2022 the City adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2.0 which includes Primary Action 1 to adopt an all-electric reach code for new construction that limits the development of new gas infrastructure (indicating that exemptions can be considered; and Primary Action 5, including multiple strategies towards a Zero Emission Vehicle Plan including that new construction be required to install Electric Vehicle (EV) charging capabilities; and

WHEREAS, the California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.5 and 17958.7 require the governing body of a city, before making any modifications or changes to the California Building Standards Code, to make an express finding that such modifications or changes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Pleasanton finds that a departure from the Building Standards Code is reasonable necessary due to the local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Pleasanton finds that the amendments would be exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3), and would be consistent with the Initial Study/Negative Declaration for the CAP 2.0 which concluded that the CAP 2.0’s actions would have a less that significant impact on the environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

KEY TO JUSTIFICATIONS FOR AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 24 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS:

C. This amendment is justified on the basis of a local climatic and environmental conditions. Local climatic conditions include a low amount of average yearly rainfall, which tend to be concentrated from October through April. From May through September, a dry period occurs where daily temperatures remain high, and there is little measurable precipitation. In addition, the local climate frequently includes high winds which sweep down through the valley. These seasonal climatic conditions during the late summer and fall period create severe fire hazards to the public health and welfare in the City. The California Division of Forestry & Fire Protection has classified areas within and adjacent to the City as Very High Fire Severity Zones. Since Pleasanton is inland, it is more susceptible to ozone formation, as pollutants from coastal areas can be transported inland and react with sunlight. Historic air quality issues have reflected struggles with smog and other pollutants, influenced heavily by vehicle emissions, industrial sources, and geography. Despite modern, cleaner engines, traffic continues to be a major contributor to air pollution in the area. The need for electrification and EV charging is required to improve air quality, reduce energy usage, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and expand the use of clean renewable energy. The aforementioned conditions combined with the geological characteristics of the hills, topographical and climatic conditions, combined with the local environmental conditions within the City create hazardous conditions for which departure from the California Building Standards is required
G. This amendment is justified on the basis of a local geologic condition. The City is subject to earthquake hazards caused a number of earthquake faults that are located either within or in close proximity to the City. Those with the most direct and potentially destructive impact are the San Andreas, Calaveras, Hayward, Greenville and Concord-Green Valley Faults. The U.S.

Geological Survey (USGS) has identified a 72% probability of at least one earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or greater occurring in the region before 2043. Recent earthquake damage studies, including the 1994 Northridge earthquake, have indicated the lack of adequate design and detailing as a contributing factor to damages that reduced the protection of the life-safety of building occupants. Because the City is within a seismic area which includes earthquake faults within and through the jurisdictional limits of the City, the modifications and changes cited herein are designed to better limit property damage as a result of seismic activity and to establish criteria for repair of damaged property following a local emergency.

T. This amendment is justified on the basis of a local topographic condition. Local topographical conditions include hills on the western border and flat area on the eastern border. The narrow and winding access along with steeply sloped streets in the hills makes timely response by fire suppression vehicles difficult. Interstate 680 divides the City into two sections, and circulation between areas of the City rely on both freeway overpasses and underpasses. In addition, local traffic must also pass over railroad tracks, creeks, and bridges (to cross arroyos). Water lines which come from tanks on the hills of the City must also cross the interstate to feed the automatic fire sprinkler systems installed in buildings throughout the City. During peak a.m. and p.m. traffic periods, the City experiences heavy traffic congestion at key intersections, and near many freeway on-ramp and off-ramps. In the event of an accident or emergency at one of these key intersections, bridges, or other circulation corridors, sections of the City could become isolated and response times increased beyond ideal levels. Combined with both the climatic and geologic hazards, these topographical conditions require modifications from the State Building Standards to mitigate these conditions.
