FROM: Lina Velasco, Director of Community Development
Eva Mann, Code Enforcement Manager
SUBJECT: Levy of Special Assessments for Unpaid Administrative Citation and Nuisance Abatement Costs
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of this action will allow the City of Richmond to collect $231,737.34 in outstanding receivables from the subject properties listed in the resolution. These
receivables consist of unpaid administrative citation fees, abatement fees, and abatement warrants. These costs
have been incurred by the City to obtain warrants and
abate property nuisances.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The Richmond Municipal Code (RMC) Section 9.22.100
and Section 9.22.110 authorizes Code Enforcement
officers to enforce corrections of violations, issue
citations, assess late fees, and collect unpaid fines and abatement costs. To recover these unpaid abatement
costs, the City Council must hold a public hearing and
adopt a resolution approving the placement of special
assessments on properties with unpaid balances related
to nuisance abatements. City staff is requesting
authorization to levy special assessments on certain
properties with unpaid invoices for nuisance abatement
costs, as outlined in RMC Chapters 2.62, 6.38, 9.22, and
11.76, for the period of May 1, 2023, through December
31, 2025.
AGENDA
REPORT
1453
May 19, 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION: HOLD a public hearing; and ADOPT a resolution authorizing the levy of special assessments against
certain properties with unpaid invoices related to
administrative citation fees, and nuisance abatement
costs pursuant to Richmond Municipal Code Chapters
2.62, 6.38, 9.22, and 11.76 – Community Development
Department/Code Enforcement Division (Lina
Velasco/Eva Mann 510-621-1279).
DISCUSSION:
Richmond Municipal Code (“RMC”) Chapter 2.62 and Section 9.22.100 and Section
9.22.110 authorize the City of Richmond to levy special assessment liens against properties for unpaid abatement costs, including those imposed under Chapters 6.38 and 11.76. Recoverable costs include unpaid nuisance abatement expenses, administrative citation fees, and late payment charges. California Government Code § 38773.5(a) similarly allows cities to “make the cost of abatement of a nuisance upon a parcel of land a special assessment against that parcel.” Pursuant to Richmond Municipal Code Section 9.22.110(d), the City Manager or designee periodically prepares and files with the City Clerk a report and assessment list identifying all real properties where abatement work has been performed by the City and for which the owner has not fully reimbursed the City within 30 days of the date of billing. The report must include a description of each property, the expenses incurred by the City, and the names and address of persons entitled to notice, as identified in Richmond Municipal Code Section 9.22.100(c).
Unpaid code enforcement fines may include administrative citations, late fees, reinspection fees, fees for obtaining an abatement warrant, abatement fees, and staff time associated with abatement activities. When these charges remain unpaid for 30 days after the property owner is invoiced, the charges may become a lien on each parcel of land, collectible in the same manner as other municipal taxes. As part of the process to recover unpaid fees, City staff issues final invoices notifying owners of the City’s intent to levy the property if fees are not paid. Property owners who fail to pay the outstanding fees and fines by the date listed in the final invoice are listed in Exhibit A and are recommended to be levied.
Properties 1 through 8 of Exhibit A were mailed two final invoices, the first in June 2025, and the second in August 2025. Properties 9 through 15 were mailed a final invoice in April 2026. All property owners received a final invoice after abatement work was completed on their property. In total, property owners received a minimum of two (2) final invoices from the Code Enforcement Division.
The proposed assessment list (Exhibit A) covers the period of May 1, 2023, through December 31, 2025, and includes 15 properties with a combined total of $188,443.34 in outstanding fees. Notable items on the list include:
1454
May 19, 2026
Five (5) properties located at South 28th St., 2839 Hoffman Blvd., 103 S 42nd St., 418 4th St., and a vacant lot (Vale Rd and Howard St.), relate to the abatement of homeless encampments on private property.
Two (2) properties located at South 28th St. and 434 Bissell Ave. appear on the list twice as both properties were previously cited for the same violations and remain out of compliance.
Below are summaries of the occupancy status for all properties on the proposed lien list:
Property Status Number of
Properties
Outstanding Fees
Total
Outstanding Fees + Special
Assessment Total
Vacant Lot 11 144,834.26 176,657.26
Vacant Structure 4 43,609.08 55,080.08
Grand Total 15 188,443.34 231,737.34
Pursuant to Richmond Municipal Code Section 9.22.110(f), any owner who objects to the proposed assessment and who desires to challenge the proposed assessment at the City Council hearing must submit any and all objections in writing to the City Clerk at least two days prior to the hearing date (May 17, 2026). The failure of any owner to submit objections to the City Clerk shall constitute a waiver of any such objections.
Pursuant to Richmond Municipal Code Section 9.22.110(g), only those persons who have submitted timely written objections to the City Clerk within the required timeframe shall be heard by the Council. At said hearing, the City Council may correct, modify or eliminate any proposed assessment which the City Council may deem excessive or otherwise incorrect. Thereafter, by vote and resolution, the City Council shall confirm each assessment and the amount thereof, as proposed or as corrected and modified, and order that an assessment be made as a personal obligation of the owner or, alternatively, assess it against the property.
Upon City Council approval, the fees and fines listed in Exhibit A will be levied by Contra Costa County for inclusion on the 2026-2027 tax roll.

AGENDA
REPORT
DATE: May 19, 2025
TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM: Emily Combs, Director of Finance
Mubeen Qader, Deputy Director of Finance
Antonio Banuelos, Accounting Manager
Subject: Master Fee Schedule Update
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Master Fee Schedule update adjusts fees to cover the cost of services provided by various City
departments.
Based on the level of activity in FY2025-26, the proposed fee adjustments would generate additional annual
revenue totaling $459,321 across various departments
and funds.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
June 3, 2025
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
Sections 2.34.040 (Schedule of fees and service
charges) and 13.45.020 (Approval of adjustments by City Council) of the Richmond Municipal Code authorize
periodic adjustments to all City levied fees and charges, subject to approval by the City Council. The City staff are requesting adoption of an Ordinance creating new
fees as outlined in the proposed Master Fee Schedule.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: HOLD a public hearing; and INTRODUCE an ordinance (first reading) establishing certain fees for the proposed Master Fee Schedule – Finance Department (Emily
Combs/Mubeen Qader/Antonio Banuelos 510-620-6741).
1477
May 19, 2026
DISCUSSION:
Section 2.34.040 of the Richmond Municipal Code (RMC) (Schedule of fees and service charges) establishes the City’s process for reviewing and adjusting fees to ensure they reflect the costs of providing services. Under this provision, the City Manager reviews fees on a regular schedule and makes adjustments as needed to support cost-recovery for City operations.
Sections 13.45.010 and 13.45.020 further outline the responsibilities of the Finance Department in maintaining and updating City-levied taxes, fees, and charges. These sections require the Director of Finance to adjust fees annually, or as needed, based on changes in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI) for State and Local Government Workers. They also require the City to complete a comprehensive fee study at least once every five years.
In addition, these sections require the Director of Finance to present an annual report to the City Council listing all proposed fee adjustments. Fee changes do not take effect until approved by the City Council. The City Council may accept or reject individual adjustments but may not modify them.
USER FEES
This update of the Master Fee Schedule (MFS) adjusts user fees by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI). The ECI adjusts wage rate inflation in local governments. In this update, City staff is proposing to update fees by 4.1 percent for the fees subject to the yearly ECI update. The 4.1 percent corresponds to the change of the ECI from the previous fee adoption date of June 3, 2025.
The MFS proposed for adoption by the City Council includes the following changes and/or adjustments:
Employment Cost Index (ECI) Adjustment: The fee schedule is adjusted to reflect the change in the ECI, as provided in Section 13.45.010 of the RMC. The adjusted fees become effective 30 days after final City Council approval of the ordinance amendment and adoption of the resolution.
Fire Department: Updates align fees with the 2025 California Fire Code and improve clarity, equity, and consistency across operational permit categories. Added / Revised: New permits for Energy Storage Systems and Fumigation/Insecticidal Fogging; clarification of Cannabis Cultivation/Plant Extraction; introduction of a tiered fee structure for scrap-tire storage including a new category for properties under 5,000 sq. ft. and updates to Other Occupancy categories and State Licensed Care Facilities to reflect current California Fire Code definitions Removed: Elimination of obsolete Highly Combustible Storage permit categories; removal of the outdated operating-permit reference column in the Fire Department 1478
May 19, 2026
section of the MFS; and replacement of the previous O-4 scaled-fee model with a single capped fee for occupancies over 20,000 sq. ft. for the Fire & Life Safety Inspections the Other Occupancy buildings
Police/Code Enforcement: Moving certain administrative fees from the Police Department section to the Community Development – Code Enforcement section better aligns fees with the responsible department.
Reassigned to Code Enforcement: Taxi permit fees (new driver and annual renewal), and alcohol and tobacco licensing fees
Remaining with Police: Alcohol and tobacco decoy‑ operation fees, which remain with the Police Department as decoy operations are Police‑ run functions and should stay within the Police fee schedule
Police Department: Updated the Concealed Weapons permit process to include comprehensive background investigations and proposed adjustments to the associated fee(s) to reflect the required staff time to complete the process.
Community Development Department: This fee section has been reorganized to improve clarity and a new category of Tobacco Retail License fees is proposed, including application, annual licensing, appeal, suspension, and revocation charges.
Public Works Department: Updated the Encroachment section to improve clarity and organization.
Community Services Department (Recreation): A new Non-Resident fee tier set at 25 percent above resident rates is introduced to support equitable cost recovery. Additional updates include new Tool Library fees, including late, cleaning, and replacement charges, and revised rental and park reservation fees for the Memorial Auditorium Main Flor and Civic Center Plaza.
City-wide Employee Hourly Rates: Updated and included all currently authorized positions listed in the Position Control Report, ensuring alignment with the current approved staffing structure.

IMPACT FEES – Phase-In Approach
Due to the significant increase in developer impact fees, the City Council adopted a multiyear phase-in approach to gradually implement the approved increases. For non-residential properties, developer impact fees would be revised over two years. Future annual increases will follow the ECI until a new study occurs in three to four years. For residential properties, the phase-in approach that began in 2024 will end in 2028. Afterwards, fees will be revised annually according to the ECI, or a new study will be conducted.
Assembly Bill 602 Requirements
On January 1, 2022, new requirements went into effect for California jurisdictions implementing impact fees. Among other changes, California Assembly Bill (AB) 602 added Section 66016.5 to the Government Code, which set guidelines for impact fee nexus studies.
Four key requirements from that section which concern the nexus study are:
66016.5. (a) (2) When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate. 66016.5. (a) (4) If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee. 66016.5. (a) (5) A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development. A local agency that imposes a fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units of the development shall be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.
66016.5. (a) (6) Large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study.
One key change described above is the methodology used to calculate residential impact fees. Previously, like many jurisdictions, the City of Richmond calculated these fees based on the number of dwelling units. Going forward, residential impact fees will be calculated based on the square footage of each unit. This updated approach is intended to provide a more equitable fee structure by aligning fees more closely with the scale of development, so that smaller dwelling units are assessed lower fees than larger units.
NEXT STEPS:
Due to recent legislation, additional technical work is required to support the Traffic Impact Fee update. This work involves developing a long-term plan that demonstrates how the City will expand its transportation infrastructure to accommodate and mitigate the impacts of new 1480

development. The Public Works Department is currently refining a list of transportation projects with assistance from one of the City’s on-call consultants. These projects may include improvements that support traffic flow, enhance safety, and address multimodal needs consistent with Senate Bill 743 (e.g., complete streets, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and transit improvements). City staff will return to the City Council with proposed updates to the Developer Impact Fees, with a focus on the Traffic Impact Fee component.
The City has also retained Willdan Financial Services to complete a comprehensive User Fee Study for all City departments, in addition to preparing the Traffic Impact Fee Report.
This City-wide study is intended to modernize the City’s fee structure, improve transparency, and better align fees with the actual cost of providing services. The User Fee Study is expected to be completed in Spring 2027.
In parallel, the City will begin a Storm Drainage Rate Adjustment Study in 2027. Consistent with statutory requirements, any proposed adjustments to storm drainage rates are expected to be presented to voters in Spring 2027.

NOTES
(Fees are supplemented by grant funding; therefore, they are not adjusted based on ECI) With the new Measure J funding allocation voted on by WCCTAC, the City of Richmond could be getting more funding. If there is a substantial amount of funding, it would be used to provide later, after hours, and weekend service which has been a request by the community. The proposed farebox fee would prepare Paratransit in the event there is more funding.

Commuter Benefit Ordinance
The annual base flat permit fee of a dedicated space for a gas-powered car share vehicle is the annual base permit fee for metered spaces and annual base permit fee for time zone (non-metered) space, when parked at thos respective spaces.
The annual permit fee of a dedicated space for a zero emission powered (ZEV) car share vehicle is based on a 25% discount off the annual base permit free for metered spaces and a 25% discount off th annual base fee for time zone (non-metered) spaces (i.e., equla to 75% of the annual base permit fee). **The annual base flat permit fee for vehicles at a time zone(non-metered) space is $40 multiplied by 12 months.
* The annual base flat permit fee for a metered space is calculated as the average gross revenue per meter during the most recent completed fiscal year.

MEETING DATE: April 10, 2026
TO: West Contra Costa Transportation Commission
FROM: Leah Greenblat, Transportation Planning Manager
SUBJECT: FY 26-27 Annual STMP Fee Adjustment
REQUESTED ACTION
Information only.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The 2019 Subregional Transportation Mitigation Program (STMP) Update became effective on July 1, 2019. The Master Cooperative Agreement, signed by all participating member agencies, specifies an automatic annual fee adjustment so that the fees are kept in sync with construction-related costs (whether inflation or deflation). The agreement links the fee adjustment to the Engineering News Record’s February San Francisco Bay Area Construction Cost Index for the prior twelve months. It should be noted that Engineering News Record’s Bay Area Construction Cost Index is a source commonly used by jurisdictions to make annual fee adjustments. This year that rate of change was +0.1%. STMP fees will be adjusted upward for FY 26-27, accordingly. WCCTAC staff is in the process of notifying partner agencies of this impending annual fee adjustment, which becomes effective July 1, 2026, so it may be incorporated into their local fee schedules.
The STMP Quarterly Reporting form for FY 26-27 is included as an attachment and reflects the higher fees for FY 26-27. Local agency staff should begin using this version of the reporting form to report STMP fees collected after July 1, 2026.
The FY 25-26 and FY 26-27 STMP fees are shown below.

Mastay/Sharrone Taylor 510-620-6803).
DISCUSSION:
Government Code section 3502.3 requires public agencies to hold a public hearing to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at least once per fiscal year, and prior to the adoption of the final budget. City staff will present the following required information at the public hearing:
AGENDA
REPORT
1587
May 19, 2026
Information on the City of Richmond’s 2025 recruitment and retention efforts The status of 2025 vacancies at the City of Richmond
Any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process
In addition, a bargaining unit shall be entitled to make a presentation at the public hearing at which the public agency presents the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit. The hearing will follow the procedures outlined in the Council Rules of Procedure and allow each bargaining unit to present for 10 minutes, since Government Code section 3502.3 is silent on the hearing procedures, including presentation times, pre-submission of materials, and other related considerations. The Service Employees International Union, Local 1021 (SEIU Local 1021), and the Richmond Police Officers Association (RPOA) have elected to present at the public hearing.
Background
In FY 20-21, the City of Richmond had ~581 FTEs; currently, there are ~673 FTEs, a net increase of 92 FTEs. In FY 26-27, the City of Richmond is currently anticipated to be able to afford ~684 FTEs due to rising inflation, increased health care costs, class and compensation increases, and bargaining unit increases. As additional revenue and expenses are finalized, the FY 26-27 recommended FTEs will be updated. City staff will monitor recent rapid increases in inflation and, as public safety MOUs are finalized, update projections to make recommendations to the City Council. 2025 Workforce and Recruitment Summary
This summary report provides transparency on staff vacancy rates, recruitment, retention, and promotion efforts and challenges, and offers an opportunity for public comments prior to budget adoption.

2025 Factors That Inform Hiring Processes and Vacancy Rates Several factors inform recruitment, hiring, retention, promotion, and vacancy rates.
These factors include:
Time-to-Hire: Civil service rules necessitate that we follow standardized procedures, testing requirements, public posting periods, and multiple approval steps designed to ensure fairness and transparency, along with extensive and necessary background checks.
Applicant Pool: For specific technical and specialized jobs, there is a decline in the number of qualified applicants.
Internal Movement: Internal promotions and transfers within the City maintain the vacancy rate. For example, when an employee leaves the City (e.g., due to retirement) a qualified internal candidate may fill that position through promotion or transfer; however, this then maintains a vacant position (the employee’s prior position) that needs to be filled.
Obstacles / Efforts
One additional factor that may be an obstacle to the recruitment and selection process is the minimum application filing period established by personnel rules. The requirement to accept applications for at least ten (10) days ensures broad access and transparency; however, it can also create unintended challenges depending on the classification. For entry-level positions, a ten-day filing period often results in a high volume of applications, many of which are likely to meet the minimum qualifications.
This can increase administrative burden, lengthen screening and selection timelines, and delay overall hiring. Conversely, for highly specialized or hard-to-fill classifications, extended recruitment windows do not necessarily yield a proportional increase in qualified applicants, resulting in prolonged vacancies despite sustained outreach efforts.
These dynamics may affect the efficiency and timeliness of hiring processes and suggest an opportunity to evaluate whether recruitment strategies and timelines can be more flexibly aligned with labor market conditions and classification-specific needs.
The Human Resources Department will use this data to evaluate whether recruitment strategies and timelines can be more flexibly aligned with labor market conditions and classification-specific needs.

2025 Retention and Vacancy Creation
Although the City brought on 91 hires, additional vacancies have been created for several reasons. These include when new positions are approved, there is internal movement such as a promotion or transfer, or when an employee leaves the organization due to retirement, voluntary resignation, or involuntary termination. In addition, the City Council has requested new programs and staffing to support their goals and priorities.
In 2025, 108 new vacancies were created for the following reasons:
Newly added positions: 2
Internal promotions that created vacancies: 28
Internal transfers that created vacancies: 3
Total number of separations: 75
o Retirement: 22
o Resignation: 36
o Involuntary:14
o Other: 3
The City’s annual turnover rate was 11 percent, calculated as 75 separations divided by 659 (the average filled positions).
Reasons for Leaving the City
The chart below summarizes the four most common reasons employees cited for voluntarily separating from City employment. Information was gathered from a resignation letter, a conversation with the employee, and/or a voluntary exit questionnaire. For 13 voluntarily separated employees, the staff does not have information about their reasons for leaving.
Definitions
Retirement: permanent separation from one’s job position due to an eligible employee electing to receive retirement benefits through CalPERS. Resignations: Formal and voluntary separation from employment initiated by the employee, typically through written notice.
o Another Job: Separation from current job position to pursue employment with another organization, company, or self-employment. o Personal Pursuits/Reasons: Reasons attributed to personal circumstances or life changes identified by the employee, including relocating out of the area, going back to school, family commitments, etc.
1591
May 19, 2026
o Other Resignation: The City does not have a known reason for their resignation
Additional Data Provided through Exit Surveys
Employees voluntarily leaving City employment were given the opportunity to complete an optional exit questionnaire to share information regarding the factors influencing their decision to leave and about their experience.
The questionnaire was completed by 14 employees (25% of the 58 employees who retired or resigned). Eight (8) of those employees’ main reasons for leaving were either another job or personal pursuits/reasons. Although data is limited, here are the factors they cited regarding their decision to leave (employees could choose as many factors as applicable):
Career advancement (higher or different position) 5
Family/personal reasons 3
School 2
Flexible hours 2
Better benefits 1
Telework 1
Conflict 1
Regarding overall satisfaction, the average rating was 4 out of 5. Respondents were given the opportunity to provide additional feedback on their supervision and work environment.
Notably, 86 percent of respondents felt they were almost always given the tools to succeed and that their supervisors followed the rules and procedures. There was a 14 percent decrease between “almost always” (57%) and “usually” (43%) for being encouraged and listened to, indicating an area for improvement.

What is AB2561?
California Assembly Bill 2561 (2024), effective
January 1, 2025, mandates that local public agencies
hold a public hearing at least once per fiscal year to
report on job vacancies, recruitment, and retention
efforts. If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total
number of authorized full-time positions, the bill
would require the public agency, upon request of the
recognized employee organization, to include
specified information during the public hearing. By
imposing new duties on local public agencies, the bill
would impose a state-mandated local program.

Policies, Procedures, and Recruitment Enhancements
• Personnel Rules – Minimum Application Period (10 days) • High volume for entry-level roles: Extended filing periods often generate a large number of applications, including many that would meet minimum qualifications
• Increased volume requires additional staff time for selection screening, which can increase hiring timelines
• Limited yield for specialized roles: Longer recruitment windows do not necessarily result in more qualified applicants for hard-to-fill or specialized positions, contributing to longer time-to-fill • One-size timeline impacts efficiency
• Creates an opportunity to adjust timelines by role
• NEOGOV System Enhancements
• Continued implementing NEOGOV modules, to include streamlined onboarding process for new employees (implemented)
• Learn Module: Training by Classification – Courses are personalized by department and classification to guarantee that new employees acquire skills tailored to their specific classification The City routinely evaluates relevant policies, procedures, and recruitment efforts to pinpoint any possible barriers within its hiring process.

Subject: Opposition to Proposed CO2 Waste Dumping Projects & CO2 Pipelines in Richmond, Contra Costa, and Solano
Counties
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
Connecting the proposed Montezuma Carbon
Sequestration Hub's proposed CO2 pipeline to the oil
refinery in Richmond would jeopardize the health and
safety of neighborhoods already disproportionately
harmed by refinery pollution.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology has
consistently proven to be ineffective, economically
unsound, and unsafe. Therefore, Richmond City Council
should oppose CO2 waste dumping projects and
pipelines in Richmond, Contra Costa, and Solano
Counties.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: RECEIVE a presentation on proposed
Montezuma CO2 Hub, a carbon waste dumping project,
that would require a massive build out of pipelines
through Richmond, risking the health and safety of
Richmond residents and ADOPT a resolution that
opposes the proposed Montezuma Carbon Sequestration
