Item: 8.E.

Meeting Date: 8/10/2026
To: City Council
From: Whitney Berry, Planning Manager
Thru: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Subject: For a Second Reading and Adoption: Adopt by Title only Ordinance No. 390, a Cityinitiated Zoning Code Amendment to amend sections of Title 17 (Zoning Code) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
Background:

On July 28, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 386, which amended Chapter 17.16 to amend residential height limits in the City. The City’s currently adopted ordinance establishes a maximum building height of 21 feet for residential structures and 23 feet for barns citywide.

On April 13, 2026, the City Council considered a staff report regarding structure height standards for Williamsburg Lane and discussed whether the City’s recently adopted height regulations remain appropriate for that neighborhood. As outlined in the April 13, 2026, staff report, the discussion included consideration of existing Williamsburg Lane development patterns, the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) Building Regulations, and the RHCA Williamsburg Design Study (2025). Following discussion on April 13, 2026, the City Council directed that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for consideration and discussion regarding a potential residential structure height limit for Williamsburg Lane not to exceed 25 feet. No changes were recommended to the existing barn height limitation.

On May 19, 2026, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 2026-09 recommending that the City Council adopt proposed Ordinance No. 390 establishing a new 25-foot height limit for single-family residences on Williamsburg Lane.

On July 27, 2026, the City Council unanimously approved the introduction and first reading of Ordinance No. 390 (attached).

Discussion:

The City is considering a zoning text amendment to establish a new maximum 25-foot building height for single-family residences located on Williamsburg Lane, while maintaining the existing 21-foot height limit for single-family residences elsewhere in the City and the 23-foot height limit for barns. In their considerations, the City Council expressed a desire to preserve and enhance the character of Williamsburg Lane while providing flexibility as it relates to residential building height. As properties

located on Williamsburg Lane continue to be updated and improved, this measure would help ensure that new construction is compatible with the unique character of this neighborhood and responsive to the orientation and topography of the lots on Williamsburg Lane.

This evening, Ordinance No. 390 (Attachment A) is presented for a second reading and adoption. If adopted, the Ordinance will take effect on September 9, 2026.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

Recommendation:

Adopt by Title Only Ordinance No. 390.

ORDINANCE NO. 390

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AMENDING CHAPTER 17.16 OF TITLE 17 OF THE ROLLING HILLS

MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND THE RESIDENTIAL HEIGHT LIMIT FOR LOTS

ON WILLIAMSBURG LANE, AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE TO BE
CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM CEQA.

WHEREAS, the City of Rolling Hills, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the California Constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, the City is a semi-rural hillside community, characterized by predominantly singlestory California ranch-style homes, large parcels with open space, and an abundance of equestrian facilities; and
WHEREAS, one of the unique features of the City is the uniformity of homes throughout the years, which are typically limited to one story in height; and WHEREAS, in recent years, many homes have been constructed to maximize the building area on the lot, including increased height and a greater amount of grading to prepare many of the steeper properties for a structure; and
WHEREAS, these trends have significantly altered the community’s character and affect surrounding properties, creating a high level of concern among residents related to development and design compatibility issues; and
WHEREAS, the residential developments on Williamsburg Lane are of a different architectural style and character than other residences in the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to preserve and enhance the character of Williamsburg Lane by providing flexibility as it relates to residential building height; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted to the City by Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City has the police power to regulate the use of land and property within the City in a manner designed to promote public convenience and general prosperity, as well as public health, safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend the Rolling Hills Municipal Code to modestly increase the height limit on residential developments on Williamsburg Lane in the City; and WHEREAS, on June 16, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Ordinance, wherein it considered the staff report, supporting documents, public testimony, and all appropriate information submitted with the Ordinance; and WHEREAS, on July 27, 2026, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Ordinance, wherein it considered the staff report and supporting documents,

2 Planning Commission’s recommendation, public testimony, and all appropriate information submitted with the Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals above are incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council.

Section 2. CEQA. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is determined to be categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, which applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Ordinance does not involve physical changes to the environment but rather regulates the height of residential developments. Since it does not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment, there is no possibility that it could have a significant environmental impact.

Section 3. General Plan. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is consistent with the goals and policies of the Rolling Hills General Plan. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with Housing Element Goal 2 “Maintain and enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods in Rolling Hills,” in support of the following policies:

Policy 2.1: Encourage and assist in the maintenance and improvement of existing homes to maintain optimum standards of housing quality and design.

Policy 2.3: Require compatible design to minimize the impact of residential redevelopment on existing residences.

By imposing a less restrictive height limit on residential development on Williamsburg Lane, this Ordinance will ensure future development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and environment.

Section 4. The Development Standard table in Section 17.16.060 of Title 17 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code is hereby amended, with additions in underline and deletions in strikethrough, as follows:

Development Standard Zone District
RA-S-1 RA-S-2

A. General Limitation. A building or structure shall have no more than one story, meaning that there shall be no story on top of another, except as specified in subsection (B) below.

For purposes of this subsection (A)(1), the height measurement shall be exclusive of projecting architectural features as defined in Section 17.12.160.

2. The maximum height permitted from finished floor of any building or structure to finished grade is five feet. The difference between the finished grade and the finished floor level across any elevation shall average no more than two and one-half feet, with maximum difference of five feet.

The City Council declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any portion thereof.

Item: 8.F.

Meeting Date: 8/10/2026
To: City Council
From: Christian Horvath, Assistant to the City Manager / City Clerk Thru: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Subject: Designate voting delegate and alternate voting delegate to the League of California Cities Annual Conference from September 23-25 to be held in Anaheim, CA Background:

The annual letter and packet (Attachment A) from the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) requests the designation of voting delegates and alternates to participate in the League's 2026 Annual Conference scheduled for September 23-25 in Anaheim, California. The Annual Business Meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 25. At this meeting, the Cal Cities membership considers and takes action on resolutions that establish Cal Cities policy. In order to vote at the Annual Business Meeting, the City Council must designate a voting delegate. Each city may appoint up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote in the event that the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity.

For the annual conference held in October 2025, the City Council designated Mayor Dieringer as the voting delegate and Councilmember Wilson as the alternate. For the annual conferences between 2019 and 2024, the same members were designated voting and alternate voting delegates.

Discussion:

Mayor Dieringer is currently serving as the City Council liaison to the California League of Cities. It is recommended that the City Council re-appoint Mayor Dieringer as the designated voting delegate and Councilmember Wilson as the alternate voting delegate.

Fiscal Impact:

Voting delegates (or alternates if voting) must register for the Annual Conference. They don't need to register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. The full conference rate for Member City officials is $725, and the one-day rate is $375.

The Fiscal Year 26-27 budget includes funds for Councilmembers to attend conferences. Mayor Dieringer's registration for this year's conference was purchased in June during FY25-26.

Recommendation:

Approve as presented.

Taking place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration opens June 2.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026

alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

Item: 8.G.

Meeting Date: 8/10/2026
To: City Council
From: Christian Horvath, Assistant to the City Manager / City Clerk Thru: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Subject: Approve Planning Commission incumbents Abby Douglass and Greg Kirkpatrick reappointments to complete the current term beginning January 2, 2026 and expiring January 1, 2030
Background:

At the June 8, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council voted to direct staff to publicly notice the opening of the current Planning Commission terms.

The appointment process for filling expiring Commission terms calls for the incumbents and the public to be informed of the openings before the expiration of the current terms. During a normal term expiration window, staff will provide approximately four weeks of public notification by:

1. Posting the notices at City Hall per the Maddy Act;

2. Sending letters to each incumbent advising them of the process to be considered for reappointment; and

3. Advertising the openings in the City Blue Newsletter.

Incumbents or interested individuals are required to submit Letters of Interest to the City Clerk by a set date and time. Once received, staff schedules interviews with the candidates and the City Council Personnel Committee, if necessary.

Upon the June 8, 2026 Council action, staff posted notices at City Hall as well as advertised the openings and process for submission in multiple Blue Newsletter printings. Letters of interest submissions were due on Friday, July 17, 2026, at 12 pm. Two incumbents responded by the due date: Mr. Greg Kirkpatrick and Ms. Abby Douglass. No other submissions were received.

Discussion:

None.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

Recommendation:

Re-appoint Commissioner Douglass and Vice Chair Kirkpatrick to continue serving for the remainder of the current Planning Commission term expiring January 1, 2030.

Item: 8.H.

Meeting Date: 8/10/2026
To: City Council
From: Christian Horvath, Assistant to the City Manager / City Clerk Thru: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 1420 authorizing a Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget Modification to increase appropriations by $38,497 in the General Fund Other Law Enforcement Expenses account funded from available General Fund Reserves for continued funding of the Regional Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) program, onetime camera replacement purchase, installation, ongoing maintenance and annual camera connectivity costs.

Background:

The Peninsula Public Safety Committee (PPSC) oversees regional emergency preparedness and public safety efforts, which also include cross-jurisdictional collaboration with the Palos Verdes Peninsula (PVP) cities and law enforcement (Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Palos Verdes Estates Police Department).

The Regional Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Camera System was initially discussed in early 2016 at the Regional Contract Law Committee, which is comprised of the three cities on the PVP: Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, and Rolling Hills Estates that contract public safety services with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. At that time, it was recommended that the City of Palos Verdes Estates be included in the Peninsula's joint effort against crime by establishing a regional ALPR camera system.

ALPR is a technology that allows a camera to scan numerous vehicle license plates quickly in an objective manner and compares the plate information against law enforcement databases containing vehicles of interest such as stolen vehicles, Amber Alerts, missing persons, felon vehicles, and more.

Law enforcement is immediately notified if there is a match, which leads to more arrests and efficiency in the deployment of deputies. All captured license plate data enters a searchable database, which is advantageous for law enforcement as an integral investigation tool. Additionally, the ALPR technology is used by numerous South Bay law enforcement agencies and has interoperability advantages that extend throughout the county, state, and country.

At the Regional Contract Law Committee’s February 11 and May 12, 2016 meetings, the strategic locations for camera placement were approved by the Committee. The selected locations are key ingress and egress points throughout the PVP that cover highly trafficked intersections. Within the

determination of camera placement, a cost-sharing formula was also developed to fund the joint project, and ultimately, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was taken to respective PVP city councils for approval in June 2016. The cost-sharing formula is based on the city population, number of dwelling units, and area square footage. The regional project also included one-time infrastructure costs as some areas lacked suitable infrastructure, such as traffic signal light fixtures where ALPR cameras are typically installed. There is an ongoing, annual shared cost related to the camera system, which supports cellular connectivity required to share data and alerts to law enforcement.

The ALPR (and School Resource Officer) cost sharing formula for the four Peninsula cities is based on population, number of dwelling units and area in square miles, as provided for in the MOU.

On June 13, 2016, the City Council approved the MOU and installation of cameras.

The original regional camera system had been in place for approximately seven years. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Palos Verdes Estates Police Department identified failing regional ALPR camera equipment among the established networks. The purchase of the ALPR cameras through vendor Vigilant Solutions provided a five-year warranty, which expired in 2021. The cameras, as of 2023/24 were out of warranty, past their useful life, and requiring replacement.

On February 1, 2024, the Peninsula Public Safety Committee unanimously approved moving forward with a first amendment to the MOU for the continuation of the ALPR program, including the one-time costs for camera replacement/ongoing maintenance and direction to send to the individual cities for approval with the addition of a favored nations clause.

Cost Allocation Formula
Member Percentage Amount
City of Palos Verdes Estates 20% $94,950
City of Rancho Palos Verdes 60% $284,850
City of Rolling Hills 7% $33,232
City of Rolling Hills Estates 13% $61,717
Total 100% $474,749
On February 26, 2024, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the MOU (Attachment D) and directed staff to return with a budget amendment. On March 11, 2024, the City Council subsequently adopted Resolution No. 1359 (Attachment D), appropriating funds for the City's anticipated share of the ALPR replacement project.

Although the funding was approved, the City did not receive an invoice from the lead agency during FY 2023-24, FY 2024-25, or FY 2025-26. As a result, the FY 2023-24 appropriation lapsed at the close of the fiscal year and the previously authorized funds were never expended.

On July 29, 2026, staff received an invoice (dated June 16, 2026) from the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (Attachment B).

On August 5, 2026, staff received two additional invoices from the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for the City's FY24/25 and FY25/26 annual camera connectivity costs (Attachment C). Because the FY26/27 connectivity invoice has not yet been issued, staff included an estimated amount based on prior annual costs to ensure sufficient appropriations are available for the current fiscal year.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 1420 to appropriate $38,497 from available General Fund Reserves. The requested appropriation includes the City's share of the onetime ALPR camera replacement project ($33,232), the FY24/25 and FY25/26 camera connectivity invoices ($3,465.60), and an estimated FY26/27 camera connectivity cost ($1,799.40).

Discussion:

None.

Fiscal Impact:

The allocated budget in FY26/27 for Other Law Enforcement Expenses is not sufficient to cover the additional $38,497 for the City of Rolling Hills contribution to:

1. the ALPR purchase, installation, ongoing maintenance cost of $33,232 and;

2. the annual camera connectivity costs covering FY 2024-25 in the amount of $1747.93 and FY 2025-26 in the amount of $1,717.67 and;

3. the annual camera connectivity cost estimate covering FY 2026-27 in the amount of $1,799.40 which will be funded from available General Fund Reserves. The use of General Fund Reserves is consistent with City policy.

Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 1420 authorizing a Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget modification increasing appropriations by $38,497 in the General Fund Other Law Enforcement Expenses account funded from available General Fund Reserves.

Item: 10.A.

Meeting Date: 8/10/2026
To: City Council
From: Whitney Berry, Planning Manager
Thru: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Subject: Receive and File Zoning Case No. 26-02: Request for a Site Plan Review to construct a new 7,050 square foot residence with basement, an attached three-car garage, a swimming pool/spa, non-exempt grading and other site improvements and finding the project exempt from CEQA for 1 Storm Hill Lane (Storm Properties, Inc.)(APN 7570- 024-019)
Background:

On June 16, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings at its morning field trip meeting and regular evening meeting. Neighbors within a 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and notices were posted in three locations within the City. The Planning Commission opened the public hearing, took public testimony and discussed the Project. The Commission approved Zoning Case No. 26-02 with an additional condition mandating that landscape not exceed the roof ridge line of the primary structure.

On July 23, 2026, the Traffic Commission reviewed the proposed driveway for 1 Storm Hill and recommended approval to the City Council.

The Project includes the following components:
• A new 7,050 SF residence with a 1,580 SF basement;
• A 912 SF three-car attached garage;
• A 765 SF swimming pool/spa;
• A new driveway and driveway apron;
• A new gravel access to a stable and corral set aside; • Non-exempt grading;
• Retaining walls, averaging 2.5 feet in height;
• A 758 SF detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU); and
• Various site improvements including a service yard, outdoor BBQ, fire pit and landscaping.

Discussion:

At the June 16, 2026, Planning Commission hearing, the Commission received verbal comments

from the applicant and a resident as summarized below:
• Storm Bird, Project Applicant, thanked City staff and discussed the intention behind the design to be harmonious with the community and take neighbors into account. • Doris Sung, 8 Buggy Whip, thanked the Commission for incorporating a condition of approval for restricting the height of trees to the roof ridge of the residence and expressed some concern about the future stable potentially impacting views from her property. She also expressed concerns about future development of other lots on Storm Hill Lane potentially impacting views from her property.

The Commission voted 4-0 (Commissioner Kirkpatrick absent) to approve Zoning Case No. 26-02 with an additional condition mandating that landscape not exceed the roof ridge line of the primary structure.

Additional Property Background
The property is one of four lots that were created in November 2000 by a subdivision under Parcel Map No. 26356 (originally Tentative Tract Map No. 52292) that subdivided two lots totaling 67.69 acres into four lots. One of the lots (4 Storm Hill Lane) is developed with a residence and accessory structures, and the other three lots are vacant (1-3 Storm Hill Lane). Since the original subdivision, the Planning Commission has approved lot line adjustments that revised the size and shape of the four lots. On June 16, 2026, the Planning Commission approved a one-year extension for Resolution No. 2024-08 approving the most recent lot line adjustment to improve access to Parcel 3 and to better align with the RHCA trail alignment. This time extension allows the applicant to finalize and record the Certificate of Compliance, which is a City requirement that must be met prior to issuance of any grading or building permit for the subject Project.

Public Correspondence
No additional public correspondence has been received since the Planning Commission approval of this item.

Rolling Hills Community Association Review
The RHCA Architectural Committee accepted the conceptual design for this project in November 2025.

Environmental Review
The proposed project has been determined to not have a significant effect on the environment and is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts a single-family residence, swimming pool, and accessory structures.

1 RESOLUTION NO. 2026-07

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF

ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN REVIEW TO
CONSTRUCT A NEW RESIDENCE WITH BASEMENT, AN ATTACHED THREECAR GARAGE, A SWIMMING POOL/SPA, NON-EXEMPT GRADING AND

OTHER SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND FINDING THE PROJECT EXEMPT FROM CEQA FOR 1 STORM HILL LANE (STORM PROPERTIES, INC)(APN 7570-024- 019)

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. On January 13, 2026, an application was duly filed by Keith Johnson, the owner’s representative (“Applicant”) on behalf of the property owner, Storm Hill Properties Inc., of 1 Storm Hill Lane, Rolling Hills (APN 7570-024-019), requesting Site Plan Review to construct a new residence with basement, an attached three-car garage, a swimming pool/spa, nonexempt grading and other site improvements.

Section 2. The property is zoned RA-S-2 and is 4.1 acres in size and has a net lot area of 179,080 square feet (SF), as calculated for development purposes. The lot vacant property is located on the east side of Storm Hill Lane and is covered with natural vegetation in a semidisturbed state. The property is irregularly shaped and is bordered by Johns Canyon Road to the south, John’s Canyon Trail and residential development along Buggy Whip Drive to the east, 4 Storm Hill Lane to the west and vacant land to the north. The topography of the site is comprised of a gentle north facing slope and a steeper east and northeasterly slope down towards John’s Canyon trail at the rear of the property. There is a 30-foot-wide roadway easement along Johns Canyon Road and a 52-foot-wide roadway easement along Storm Hill Lane.

Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application at its field trip meeting and regular meeting on June 16, 2026. Neighbors within a 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in three public places on June 4, 2026. The Applicant was notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail and the Applicant was in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal.

Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), which exempts the construction and location of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including accessory structures, including but not limited to garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences. Here, the proposed Project is the construction of a freestanding deck and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.

2 Section 5. Site Plan Review Findings. Site Plan Review is required for construction of any new structure pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020. With respect to the Site Plan Review for the proposed development, the Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings:

A. The project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance.

This finding can be made because the proposed project complies with the policies of the General Plan Land Use Element requiring low profile, low-density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project is consistent with the City’s distinctive rural residential character and promotes equestrian uses by designating a stable and corral set aside. The residence will have a 50-foot front setback, a 50-foot rear setback and 35- foot side setbacks. The project conforms to the 35% lot coverage maximum, the 40% lot disturbance maximum and the 30% building pad coverage guideline. The project complies with all residential development standards of the zoning ordinance including setbacks, lot coverage, disturbed area and building pad coverage.

B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. Lot coverage requirements are regarded as maximums, and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted depends upon the existing buildable area of the lot.

This finding can be made because the design of the project has considered the topography and configuration of the lot and meets all lot coverage requirements of the zoning ordinance. The lot has a net lot area of 179,080 SF and the project proposes to create a new 40,340 SF building pad. The project will result in 6.4% lot coverage by structures and 3.9% lot coverage by flatwork. The project’s overall lot coverage will be 10.26% which is less than the 35% lot coverage maximum permitted by code. In addition, the project will cover 26.36% of the building pad with structures which is less than the 30% building pad coverage guideline.

C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences.

This finding can be made because the project proposes to construct a low profile, onestory residence that will be consistent with the scale and mass of other residences the RAS-2 zone.

D. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest extent possible, existing topographic features of the site, including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls).

This finding can be made because the project will disturb 38.25% of the lot which falls below the 40% maximum disturbance permitted by the zoning code. The project proposes to locate the septic system in a flat area of the lot below the driveway within the east side setback.

The new building pad is located on the relatively flat areas on the east side of the lot, leaving the steeper and more densely vegetated areas in their natural state to the west. More than half of the lot will remain undeveloped.

3 E. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area.

This finding can be made because the project grading has been minimized by creating the building pad on relatively flat areas of the lot and by balancing overall grading quantities on site. The project proposes 16,100 cubic yards (CY) of grading overall at the site (8,125 CY cut and 7,975 CY fill). The project anticipates 150 CY of material to be exported; this export is exempt because it results from excavation for the basement foundation and pool.

F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course.

This finding can be made because the project will not significantly alter the overall drainage patterns on the lot and because the project is subject to the Low Impact Development (LID) requirements of the Municipal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for stormwater management in accordance with RHMC Chapter 8.32. Drainage on the vacant lot flows uncontrolled downslope to a northeast drainage known as Agua Magna Canyon Creek. Under the conditions of the NPDES permit, the project would be required to implement runoff control measures that prevent any substantial increase in surface runoff from the site. In addition, the project must implement certain measures for single-family residential development including conserving natural areas, protecting slopes and channels, and diverting roof runoff and surface flow to vegetated areas.

G. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought-tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas.

This finding can be made because the project includes drought-tolerant landscaping that will enhance the site, create a landscaped buffer for the residence and meet all requirements of the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO) in accordance with RHMC Chapter

13.18. H. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles.

This finding can be made because the proposed driveway apron will be located on the east side of lot and will be 20 feet wide, allowing two cars to safely pass one another. The project provides ample parking on site within the three-car garage as well as on a gravel parking pad on the south side of the residence. The proposed driveway will have a 7% slope for the first 20 feet with the remainder of the driveway having an approximately 10% slope. The driveway is setback more than 50 feet from the intersection of Johns Canyon Road and Storm Hill Road.

Storm Hill Road was previously approved under a separate application, which was evaluated for the convenience and safety of pedestrians and vehicles and recommended for approval by the City’s Traffic Commission.

I. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

4 The Project is exempt from the CEQA Guidelines pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), which exempts the construction and location of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including accessory structures, including but not limited to garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences. Here, the proposed Project is the construction of single-family residence and therefore qualifies for the exemption pursuant to Section 15303. Further, no exceptions to the exemption apply; there is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.

Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves Zoning Case No. 26-02 subject to the following conditions:

A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within two years from the effective date of approval as defined in RHMC Sections 17.46.080 of the Zoning Ordinance unless otherwise extended pursuant to the requirements of these sections.

B. The Applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this approval, or the approval shall not be effective.

C. If any condition of this resolution is violated, the entitlement granted by this resolution shall be suspended and the privileges granted hereunder shall lapse and upon receipt of written notice from the City, all construction work being performed on the subject property shall immediately cease, other than work determined by the City Manager or his/her designee required to cure the violation. The suspension and stop work order will be lifted once the Applicant cures the violation to the satisfaction of the City Manager or his/her designee. In the event that the Applicant disputes the City Manager or his/her designee’s determination that a violation exists or disputes how the violation must be cured, the Applicant may request a hearing before the City Council. The hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular meeting of the City Council for which the agenda has not yet been posted; the Applicant shall be provided written notice of the hearing. The stop work order shall remain in effect during the pendency of the hearing. The City Council shall make a determination as to whether a violation of this Resolution has occurred. If the Council determines that a violation has not occurred or has been cured by the time of the hearing, the Council will lift the suspension and the stop work order. If the Council determines that a violation has occurred and has not yet been cured, the Council shall provide the Applicant with a deadline to cure the violation; no construction work shall be performed on the property until and unless the violation is cured by the deadline, other than work designated by the Council to accomplish the cure. If the violation is not cured by the deadline, the Council may either extend the deadline at the Applicant’s request or schedule a hearing for the revocation of the entitlements granted by this Resolution pursuant to Chapter 17.58 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC).

D. The Project consists of the following improvements:
 A 7,050 SF one-story residence with a 1,580 SF basement and a 912 SF garage  A 765 SF swimming pool/spa;
 A new driveway and driveway apron;

5  A new gravel access to a stable and barn set aside;  Grading balanced on site that totals 16,100 cubic yards (cy), comprised of 8,125 cy cut and 7,975 cy fill, with 150 cy of exempt export;  Retaining walls, averaging 2.5 feet in height; and
 Site improvements including a service yard, outdoor BBQ, fire pit and landscaping.

E. The project must be reviewed and approved, as applicable, by the Rolling Hills Community Association (“RHCA”).

F. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with, unless otherwise a variance to such requirement has been approved.

G. The property shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file at City Hall and approved by the Planning Commission on June 16, 2026 except as otherwise provided in these conditions. The working drawings submitted to the Department of Building and Safety for plan check shall conform to the approved plan.

The conditions of approval of this Resolution shall be printed onto a separate sheet and included in the building plans submitted to the Building Department for review and shall be kept on site at all times.

Any proposed modifications and/or changes to the approved project, including resulting from field conditions, shall be discussed with staff so that staff can determine whether the modification is minor or major in nature. Minor modifications are subject to approval by the City Manager or his or her designee. Major modifications are subject to approval by the Planning Commissioner after a public hearing. The Applicant shall not implement modifications or changes to the approved project without the appropriate approval from the City Manager or designee or the Planning Commission, as required.

H. A licensed professional preparing construction plans for this project for Building Department review shall execute a Certificate affirming that the plans conform in all respects to this Resolution approving this project and all of the conditions set forth herein and the City’s Building Code and Zoning Ordinance.

I. The person obtaining a building and/ or grading permit for this project shall execute a Certificate of Construction stating that the project will be constructed according to this Resolution and any plans approved therewith.

P. Prior to construction, the Applicant shall pay all of the applicable Building and Safety and Public Works Department fees and Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District fees, if any.

Q. Prior to construction, an on-site inspection and site walk-through, including through all existing structures as needed, shall be scheduled with City Staff and the Applicant.

R. Prior to and during construction, the city or the Building Department may require a construction fence for the duration of the grading for this project.

Meeting Date: 8/10/2026
To: City Council
From: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Thru: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Subject: Consideration of a 2026 City Council Strategic Planning Workshop Background:

In January 2022, the City Council conducted a Strategic Planning Workshop to evaluate the City’s progress on priorities established in 2020 and to identify policy and operational priorities for the following two fiscal years (Attachment A). That workshop provided a forum for the Council to review major initiatives related to wildfire mitigation and emergency preparedness, utility undergrounding, drainage compliance, sewer planning, capital improvements, staffing, and resident services. The workshop also allowed the Council to assess how prior strategic goals had been implemented and to adjust the City’s work program based on changing regulatory, financial, and operational conditions.

Since that time, the City has continued to advance many of those initiatives, including wildfire risk reduction, infrastructure planning, compliance with state and federal mandates, and improvements to City facilities and services. However, the City is now approaching a new year, which allows the City Council to revisit emergency preparedness, infrastructure investments, regulatory compliance, and long-term service delivery.

A new strategic planning effort would provide the Council and staff with an opportunity to review the status of ongoing projects, assess emerging challenges, and establish updated priorities to guide budget development, staffing, and capital planning.

On January 26, 2026, staff sought direction from the City Council on whether to convene another Strategic Planning Workshop in 2026 that would allow the Council to engage in focused, policy-level discussion on the City’s current projects, fiscal outlook, regulatory obligations, and long-term priorities, and to identify areas where adjustments or new initiatives may be warranted. The City Council voted to table discussion and return this item in 6 months.

Discussion:

If the City Council expresses interest in proceeding, staff will return to a future City Council meeting with proposed dates and a draft agenda framework. The proposed workshop would be structured to include an overview of current City projects and initiatives, a review of financial and staffing considerations, and a facilitated discussion on future priorities and policy direction for the City.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

Recommendation:

Discuss and provide direction to staff.

FROM: ELAINE JENG, CITY MANAGER
THRU: ELAINE JENG P.E., CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REVIEW CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHED PRIORITIES FROM THE 2020 STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP; AND EVALUATE CITY
ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES SINCE JANUARY 2020 SUPPORTING THE ESTABLISHED PRIORITIES.

DATE: January 22, 2022
BACKGROUND:

In January 2020, the City Council held a strategic planning workshop. Included with this staff report is the presentation provided to the Council at the workshop, and notes from the workshop. At the end of the workshop, the Council established four priorities for the city for fiscal years 2020-2021 and 2021- 2022 as follows:

1. Wildfire Mitigation/Emergency Preparedness

2. Utility Undergrounding

3. Drainage

4. Sewer
The staff report from the April 27, 2020 City Council meeting expanded on the priority categories above and listed budget items for FY 2020-2021 to support the priorities. As a part of the FY 2020- 2021 budget adoption, and FY 2021-2022, the Council also approved a three year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to support the priorities.

DISCUSSION:

WILDFIRE MITIGTATION/EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
In 2020, the Council adopted a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The CWPP was in the works eight years prior but never got off the ground. The CWPP is a guiding document for getting the community involved in being emergency prepared. The Council also allocated between $50K to $65K to the emergency preparedness budget, including the Block Captain Program for FY 2020-2021, and FY 2021-2022. Also in 2020, the City received grant funds for three projects all supporting wildfire mitigation: CWPP, Crest Road East Utility Undergrounding, and Vegetation Management in the Canyons. (The CWPP was prepared in-house by staff, resulting in an overall savings to the City. The grant was returned.) The Council also allocated additional funds to eliminate fuel/create a fire break in 5

the Nature Preserve in the areas closest to the the Rolling Hills border (Phase 1 maintenance, Phase 2 capital and maintenance and Phase 3 capital), an approximate 40 acre area.

In 2021, the Council funded hardening the home education videos. Staff worked with the Los Angeles County Fire Department to commence the roadside vegetation clearance inspections, and complimentary home hardening inspections. The Council also funded vegetation management education videos, the Emergency Information System (EIS - collection of contact information for all residents in Rolling Hills), feasibility of an outdoor alert (siren) system, and the evacuation procedures brochure. Staff worked with the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) to improve cell communication throughout the community by the way of Crown Castle. Staff also worked with adjacent Peninsula Cities via the Public Safety Committee, and the Regional Law Committee to prepare an evacuation map for the Peninsula. The Council also directed the Fire Fuel Committee to find additional approaches to engage the community on wildfire mitigation measures. Staff engaged Republic Services to hold two communal events per year. In support of wildfire mitigation, the RHCA holds two chipping events per year and automated the Crest Road East gate. The Fire Fuel Committee is working on hiring experts to provide education site tours on fuel management for properties abutting canyons. The Fire Fuel Committee is also working on an ordinance aimed to reduce fire fuel in the community.

UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING
In 2020, staff continued hold monthly meetings with utility companies to monitor the progress of the Eastfield Assessment District to underground approximately ten utility poles. Staff also worked with expert consultants to educate the residents in the district on the project process, and project funding options. The City Council established a resolution specifying the amount of contribution from the city to single pole undergrounding, and assessment district projects. The City Council also executed an memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the RHCA on contribution amounts from both organizations for assessment district projects. The City was awarded approximately $1.5M grant to underground approximately ten utility poles along Crest Road East. Staff worked with CalOES and FEMA personnel to supply information to the City's other grant for Eastfield Drive Utility Undergrounding Project that will underground approximately 16-18 utility poles along Eastfield Drive.

In 2021, staff continued the monthly meetings with utility companies and also held educational workshops for residents interested in creating an assessment district to underground utility poles. Staff worked with residents of the Eastfield Utility Assessment District, the experts, and the City Council to bring the project to a vote. The project was voted down by the residents. Design work commenced on the Crest Road East Utility Undergrounding Project with Southern California Edison (SCE) and other communication companies. Frontier is disputing the Crest Road East project qualifies for CPUC Tariff 33 where the ratepayers pay for the undergrounding. The City Attorney is corresponding with Frontier.

Staff continued to work with CalOES and FEMA personnel to supply information to the City's other grant for Eastfield Drive Utility Undergrounding Project that will underground approximately 16-18 utility poles along Eastfield Drive. In 2021, the environmental assessment for the Eastfield Drive Utility Undergrounding Project was completed, and the Council executed a MOU with FEMA to comply with specified requirements during construction of the project. FEMA informed the City that the city's grant application has been moved to the fund award phase.

DRAINAGE
In 2020, the City Council received a proposal from an expert on diverting stormwater discharge from the City to Machado Lake (Bent Springs Canyon Project). The strategy discussed was to diver all the discharges to the receiving waters to eliminate the need for the City to comply with water quality standards in the Harbor, Machado Lake, and the Santa Monica Bay. The review of the Bent Springs 6

Canyon project showed the project was too costly and the Council took a different approach. The Council allocated funds to investigate the amount of stormwater discharge, and the water quality of discharges if any, to the receiving waters. The Council authorized a monitoring station in the Sepulveda Canyon. To minimize stormwater discharge, the City Council also discussed the need to retain additional stormwater discharge beyond Low Impact Development (LID) requirements per parcel.

McGowan Consulting prepared a hydromodification technical memo and this led to the planning of a Planning Commission, and City Council workshop.

In 2021, after one year of monitoring data, and with no flow, the Council directed staff to present the data to the Regional Water Quality Board for consideration. Additionally, with a new stormwater (MS4) permit in effect, the compliance provision that the City elected in 2001 was revisited. The Council directed staff to participate in the Peninsula Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP) and appealed to the Regional Water Quality Control Board to use the lack of flow in the Sepulveda Canyon as compliance strategy for Machado Lake. The City Council also directed staff to seek the City of Torrance's concurrence to design the Torrance Airport Infiltration Project in increments to allow Rolling Hills to participate if the Water Quality Control Board rejects the approach that Rolling Hills has zero or minimal stormwater discharges out of the city. In September 2021, the Planning Commission and the City Council held a workshop. At the workshop, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to find opportunities to retain additional stormwater on private property to minimize overall stormwater discharges from the City. McGowan Consulting is working with staff on conditions of approval language or possible code amendment to support this directive.

SEWER
In 2020, the City Council accepted the Phase 2 Sewer Feasibility Study as complete. The study secured two Will-Serve Letters from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. The first Will Serve Letter allowed the City to discharge effluent from the City Hall campus including the Tennis Courts and Main Guard House. The second Will Serve Letter allowed the City to discharge effluent from 235 homes in the community. The Council authorized the released a Request for Proposal for the design of the 8" sewer main along Rolling Hills Road and NV5 was hired. The engineering design commenced and was coordinated with adjacent cities.

In 2021, the engineering design of the 8" sewer main progressed to 100% completion. The design is being commented by adjacent cities. Staff presented the City Council with a proposal for a firm to seek grants to fund the construction of the 8" sewer main but the proposal was placed on hold. In the meantime, two residents along Williamsburg Lane and Middleridge Lane proposed to construct private sewer mains along these two streets, and requested the City to conduct a feasibility study to discharge the effluent. The residents expressed that they were interested in such project years ago but because the lack of Will Serve Letters from the Los Angeles County prevented the residents' project to progress.

The Council authorized a third feasibility study on discharge options for the residents' proposed project and the final study was presented to Council in January 2022. The Council also authorized staff to release a community survey on the City implementing sewer mains. The results of the survey was presented to the City Council in June 2021.

The above is a brief summary of the activities and events in 2020 and 2021 that took place in support of the Council's established priorities. That are other priorities such as communicating with the residents, shorter City Council meetings, revisit the view ordinance, minimize risk and potential liabilities (ADA compliance, Housing Element compliance, and SB 9 compliance), and refund the residents (how to best spend the General Fund surplus). Staff will have data relating to these other sub-priorities at the workshop.

Agenda Item No.: 8.C
Mtg. Date: 04/27/2020
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ELAINE JENG, CITY MANAGER
THRU: ELAINE JENG P.E., CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP DISCUSSION #3.

DATE: April 27, 2020
BACKGROUND:

In May 2019, the City Council approved staff's recommendation to hold a Strategic Planning Workshop discussing the work plan for the next three years. The Strategic Planning Workshop was held on Sunday, January 25, 2020. The City Council also used the regular City Council meetings on February 10 and February 24, 2020 to provide guidance for staff to develop budget items for next fiscal year.

At the Strategic Planning Workshop, the City Council developed four priorities for the City of Rolling Hills:

1. Wildfire Mitigation/Emergency Preparedness

2. Utility Undergrounding

3. Drainage

4. Sewer
Wildfire Mitigation/Emergency Preparedness
Under this priority, the City Council discussed allocating funds to create fire breaks on either side of the border between the City of Rolling Hills and the Preserve. The City Council also discussed continuing with the active enforcement of the Fire Fuel Abatement Ordinance including taking action on the Rolling Hills Community Association, if necessary.

Utility Undergrounding
Under this priority, the City Council discussed the goal of placing all utility lines within the City underground. This could be accomplished via a combination of grant funds and individual assessment district projects. The City currently has two grant applications with CalOES to underground a segment of Crest Road East near Eastfield Drive, as well as a segment along Eastfield Drive. Staff has heard positive news on the City's application for the segment on Crest Road East and anticipates the award of the grant.
31

Drainage
Under this priority, the City Council discussed two action items: the first action is to implement policy change on parcels to require stormwater detention/retention pits or basins to slow down discharge or infiltrate onsite beyond LID requirements to eliminate runoffs in the canyons within the City; and the second action is to identify capital improvement projects to address stormwater runoff from common areas within the City to achieve the same purposes as the first action.

Sewer
Under this priority, the City Council discussed installing sewer main lines to transition the community from using septic tanks. To achieve this priority, based on lessons learned from past efforts, discussed seeking implementation via small segments of projects similar to the extension of the Johns Canyon line and installing the proposed 8" main along Portuguese Bend Road/Rolling Hills Road.

DISCUSSION:

Staff developed the following budget items to support the City Council's priorities for next fiscal year.

Wildfire Mitigation/Emergency Preparedness

1. Block Captain Program

2. Fire Fuel Reduction in the Preserve

3. Fire Fuel Reduction in Rolling Hills

4. CWPP Development/Adoption

5. Arborist to support enforcement of Fire Fuel Abatement Ordinance Utility Undergrounding

1. Crest Road Undergrounding Cal OES grant

2. Eastfield Drive Undergrounding Cal OES grant

3. Assessment District support continuous workshops for neighborhood groups

4. Pursue grants for projects
Drainage

1. Parcel based hydromodification policy development to minimize impacts to surrounding canyons and downstream parcels

2. Bend Springs capital improvement project feasibility study to include City Hall campus stormwater discharge

3. Masterplan to eliminate stormwater discharge from the City Sewer

1. Investigate extension of existing sewer mains into the City of Rolling Hills

2. Design of 8" sewer main along Portuguese Bend Road/Rolling Hills Road to connect with County truck line on Crenshaw Boulevard

3. Pursue grants for capital improvement projects
Included with this report is a spreadsheet with high level cost estimates for the budget items listed above.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The preparation of this report is a part of the City's operating budget for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.

It is unknown at this time the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the City's finances in future fiscal years. Conservatively, staff anticipates that the revenue level for next fiscal year will be 32

lower than years past. However, if there is an economic downturn, the City stands to benefit from reduced prices from all sectors including professional services, construction and materials. In this regard, staff recommends the City Council consider programming projects for the next fiscal year.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file proposed budget items for Fiscal Year 2020- 2021 developed as a part of the strategic planning workshop from January 2020.

Mtg. Date: 01/22/2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ELAINE JENG, CITY MANAGER
THRU: ELAINE JENG P.E., CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REVIEW THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN APPROVED AS A PART OF THE FISCAL YEARS 2020-2021 AND 2021-2022 BUDGET ADOPTION.

DATE: January 22, 2022
BACKGROUND:

The City Council adopted a three year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY 2020-2021 and FY 2021-2022.

DISCUSSION:

Atypical to the adoption of a CIP, the City Council opted not to allocate funds to the projects listed in the three year CIP for FY 2020-2021 and FY 2021-2022. The adopted CIP served as a work plan and as each project progressed, the City Council was requested to allocate line item budget at different phases for each project. For example, the City Hall ADA Improvement Project was discussed with the City Council extensively in 2020 and 2021, including allocation of funds for design work, and alternative spacing planning. The engineering design of the 8" sewer main was also allocated budget in 2020. The acceptance of the grant funds for the Crest Road East Utility Undergrounding project and the Vegetation Management in the Canyons were acted on by the Council individually.

Typically, the adoption of a CIP would allocate a certain dollar amount to the project for a period of one to five years. Expenditures for the projects would be allowed as long as the expenses are within the allocated amount for the specified period.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None
RECOMMENDATION:

Review with staff.

Item: 13.B.

Meeting Date: 8/10/2026
To: City Council
From: Christian Horvath, Assistant to the City Manager / City Clerk Thru: Karina Bañales, City Manager
Subject: Consideration of authorizing the Mayor to send a Letter of Support to the City of Murrieta regarding their proposed Resolution submission to the League of California Cities calling for a Working Group to Consider a State Constitutional Amendment or other Form of Initiative to ensure Final Local Authority over Housing and Land Use Decisions
Background:

On Monday, July 27, 2026, City staff received an email from the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) notifying member agencies of a proposed League of California Cities (CalCities) resolution (Attachment B) sponsored by the City of Murrieta. The SBCCOG indicated that cities wishing to express their support could submit a letter of support (Attachment C) and provide a copy to the SBCCOG.

Later that day, City staff received a follow-up email advising that CalCities would distribute the resolution packet the following week, including a staff report and the schedule for policy committee review. The email further explained that CalCities had indicated letters of support were not necessary at that time.

The CalCities Resolutions Committee is scheduled to consider the resolution and make its recommendation on Thursday, September 24, during the Annual Conference, prior to consideration by the General Assembly on Friday, September 25.

Staff intends to return to the City Council before the Annual Conference with a formal agenda item requesting direction on the City's position regarding the resolution and instructions to the City's Council Delegate for the General Assembly vote.

While CalCities has indicated that letters of support are not required at this stage of the process, Mayor Dieringer believes there is value in expressing the City's support early. Accordingly, she has requested that the City Council consider submitting the attached letter of support in advance of the formal CalCities review process. For additional background, staff has also included a memorandum from the City of Murrieta (Attachment A).

Discussion:

None.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

Recommendation:

Receive and file. Provide direction to staff and the Mayor.

TO: MAYORS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
FROM: CITY OF MURRIETA MAYOR PRO TEM, RON HOLLIDAY AND COUNCIL MEMBER LORI STONE SUBJECT: PROPOSED RESOLUTION ON LOCAL HOUSING AND LAND USE AUTHORITY FOR LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES 2026 GENERAL ASSEMBLY
DATE: JULY 24, 2026

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
California cities are responsible for planning residential growth, adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the infrastructure and public services necessary to support new housing. These responsibilities include streets, water and wastewater systems, public safety, parks, transportation, schools, and other facilities that directly affect whether residential development can be accommodated safely and sustainably.

Increasingly prescriptive state housing laws, however, have continued to reduce local discretion by overriding locally adopted plans, zoning standards, development requirements, administrative review processes, and public review processes that have ensured the health, safety, and welfare of our communities. These mandates frequently fail to account for substantial differences among communities, including infrastructure capacity, water availability, wildfire risks and other environmental constraints, fiscal impacts, public service demands, and locally established planning priorities. The State has also continued to impose new planning and development obligations without providing adequate funding for implementation or the infrastructure needed to support additional housing. Although these measures are often presented as solutions to housing affordability, many focus primarily on increasing development capacity or limiting local review without delivering affordable housing.

In preparation for the 2026 League of California Cities General Assembly, to be held September 25, 2026, the City of Murrieta proposes for consideration a resolution asking the League of California Cities to establish a statewide working group to evaluate and advance a constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategy to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land-use decisions. The working group would conduct appropriate legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engage cities and other stakeholders; identify shared statewide priorities; build a coalition in support of meaningful local-control reforms; and pursue implementation of its recommendations. Those recommendations could include legislation, changes to statewide policy, litigation strategies, or development of a future ballot initiative.

MEMORANDUM

2 of 2
As the primary statewide organization representing California cities, the League of California Cities is uniquely positioned and qualified to lead an effort of this significance. The League’s established policy, legal, legislative, communications, and advocacy networks provide the structure necessary to convene municipalities throughout the state, evaluate the legal and fiscal implications of potential strategies, build consensus among member agencies, engage key stakeholders, and coordinate directly with the Legislature and other statewide decision makers. These capabilities are unique to the League and would allow the development and advancement of a coordinated proposal supported by a broad cross-section of California cities.

Leadership by the League would also help ensure that any constitutional amendment or alternative strategy reflects the collective interests of municipalities across California, rather than a single city or region. The League's involvement would provide credibility, organizational capacity, and statewide reach necessary to build a durable coalition, communicate the need for reform, and pursue a viable strategy to restore and strengthen local landuse authority over housing and land-use decisions to cities.

BACKGROUND
The proposed resolution recognizes that the State has an appropriate role in establishing broad statewide housing goals and enforcing constitutional and civil rights, fair housing requirements, building and life-safety standards, and generally applicable environmental protections. It does not seek to eliminate statewide housing planning or relieve cities of their responsibility to accommodate housing for all income levels.

Instead, the resolution seeks to establish a more balanced framework that preserves meaningful local decisionmaking. It would protect cities from state actions that compel approval of developments inconsistent with locally adopted requirements, override local zoning or density standards, or invalidate local housing and land-use decisions when a city has planned in good faith to accommodate its regional housing needs allocation and maintains adequate capacity for housing at all income levels.

Local elected officials are directly accountable to the residents who experience the effects of development decisions and are responsible for balancing housing production with infrastructure, public safety, environmental protection, fiscal sustainability, and community needs. Restoring local authority would allow cities to determine how statewide housing objectives can be implemented in a manner that reflects local conditions and priorities while continuing to support responsible housing production.

The proposal does not require Cal Cities to immediately sponsor a specific constitutional amendment or ballot measure. Rather, it establishes a flexible statewide process through which Cal Cities can evaluate available options, develop legally and fiscally sound recommendations, and identify the most effective strategy for restoring and strengthening local control. Support from cities and city officials would demonstrate statewide interest and allow the resolution to advance through the Cal Cities policy resolution process.

A RESOLUTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES CALLING

FOR A WORKING GROUP TO CONSIDER A STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT OR OTHER FORM

OF INITIATIVE TO ENSURE FINAL LOCAL AUTHORITY OVER HOUSING AND LAND USE DECISIONS WHEREAS, California cities have historically been responsible for adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing housing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the streets, water, wastewater, public safety, parks, transportation, and other infrastructure and services necessary to support responsible, environmentally sound, and well-planned residential growth; and WHEREAS, the League of California Cities is dedicated to protecting and expanding local control for municipalities across the state to ensure their orderly growth and development; and WHEREAS, the League of California Cities recognizes that local zoning is a primary function of cities and an essential component of home rule, and that a city’s general plan should guide its land use planning and strategic decision-making free from pre-emption by the state; and WHEREAS, increasingly prescriptive statewide housing mandates and development approval requirements can override locally adopted plans, zoning standards, and public review procedures without adequately accounting for differences that exist in each unique jurisdiction in infrastructure capacity, water availability, wildfire and evacuation risks, environmental constraints, fiscal impacts, public service needs, and community priorities; and
WHEREAS, California’s housing goals can be more effectively advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships that support housing production while preserving the authority of locally elected officials to determine how and where housing is best planned and approved;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled during the Annual Conference in Anaheim, California, on September 25, 2026, that the League of California Cities support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies that restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters within municipal boundaries, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any constitutional amendment or alternative strategy should preserve the State’s authority to establish broad statewide housing goals and enforce constitutional and civil rights, fair housing requirements, building and life-safety standards, and generally applicable environmental protections, while protecting cities from state actions that compel, through funding conditions or state law, the approval of housing developments that are inconsistent with locally adopted requirements; override local zoning or density standards; or invalidate locally adopted housing or land use decisions when a city has planned in good faith to accommodate its regional housing needs allocation and maintains adequate capacity for housing at all income levels; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the League of California Cities consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters including but limited to: conducting appropriate legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for; the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time frame as determined by the working group.

Subject: Support for a Resolution Establishing a Working Group to Evaluate a State Constitutional Amendment or Other Initiative to Restore Local Housing and Land Use Authority
Dear President Quinto,
The City of Murrieta is sponsoring a resolution for consideration by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities to establish a statewide working group to evaluate a constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use decisions.

The proposed resolution, together with the required background materials, will be submitted to Cal Cities for consideration at the 2026 Annual Conference in Orange County on September 24 and 25. The resolution would direct the League to convene a working group to evaluate potential approaches for addressing the increasingly broad and prescriptive state mandates affecting local housing, zoning, development standards, and project approval authority.

On behalf of the City of [Agency Name], this letter confirms our support for the City of Murrieta’s submission of the proposed resolution and its consideration by the League of California Cities General Assembly at the 2026 Annual Conference.

Sincerely,

Item: 13.C.

Subject: Receive and File report regarding the Mayor's Letter Opposing Assembly Bill (AB) 1383 (McKinnor)
Background:

Assembly Bill (AB) 1383, authored by Assemblymember Tina McKinnor, proposes changes to the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) that would increase pension-related costs for local agencies. Among other provisions, the bill would increase the pensionable compensation cap for PEPRA employees and make additional changes affecting public safety retirement benefits. If enacted, the legislation would have a disproportionate fiscal impact on smaller cities, including the City of Rolling Hills, by increasing long-term retirement obligations and placing additional strain on limited municipal resources (Attachment C).

On July 29, 2026, the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) issued a statewide action alert urging cities to oppose AB 1383 (Attachment B). Cal Cities advised that the bill would substantially increase pension liabilities for local agencies at a time when cities are already managing rising retirement costs, stagnant revenues, and increasing state and federal mandates. The organization further noted that the proposed changes could place additional pressure on city budgets, staffing levels, community programs, and long-term fiscal stability.

Given the limited timeframe associated with the legislative process, Councilmember Leah Mirsch requested that Mayor Bea Dieringer consider signing a letter opposing AB 1383 on behalf of the City.

Mayor Dieringer supported the request and executed the attached opposition letter, which was transmitted on July 31, 2026, to the appropriate legislators and the League of California Cities (Attachment A). On August 3, 2026, AB 1383 was heard by the Senate Appropriations Committee. As of the preparation of this report, the Senate has not yet published the committee's official action or vote on the bill. City staff will continue to monitor the legislation and provide the City Council with updates as additional information becomes available.

Discussion:

The City's Legislative Policy establishes guidelines for communicating the City's position on state and federal legislation affecting the City (Attachment D). The policy recognizes that legislative matters may occasionally require an immediate response when there is insufficient time to obtain advance

City Council direction. In those circumstances, the policy authorizes the City Manager to communicate with legislative representatives and advise the City Council of those actions at the earliest opportunity. The policy also identifies direct communication with legislators, supporting other agencies, and cooperative efforts as appropriate strategies for responding to legislation affecting the City's interests.

Staff believes the City's response to AB 1383 is consistent with the intent of the current Legislative Policy. The bill directly affects the City's fiscal sustainability and ability to provide municipal services.

As outlined in the attached opposition letter, the City of Rolling Hills operates with an annual operating budget of approximately $3 million, employs only seven full-time staff members, and relies primarily on property tax revenue to fund municipal operations. The City has no commercial or industrial tax base to offset additional pension costs, and any increase in retirement obligations would place additional strain on the General Fund and could impact future service levels.

Because the legislative deadline did not allow sufficient time to bring the matter before the City Council, the Mayor executed the opposition letter to ensure the City's concerns were communicated in a timely manner. This report is being presented at the earliest available City Council meeting to inform the City Council of the action taken consistent with the City's current Legislative Policy.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving and filing this report.

Recommendation:

Receive and file the report regarding the Mayor's execution and transmittal of a letter opposing Assembly Bill (AB) 1383.

RE: LETTER OF OPPOSITION FOR AB 1383 (McKinnor) Public employees’ retirement benefits. (As Amended July 1, 2026)
Dear Chair Cervantes,
On behalf of the City Council of the City of Rolling Hills, I am writing to express our strong opposition to Assembly Bill 1383. As further explained below, this bill would present a “Hobson’s choice” for our city, requiring us to choose between adherence to this law and the fulfillment of our obligations to serve the needs of our residents.

AB 1383 would undermine the fiscal reforms established by the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) and shift significant long-term financial burdens onto local governments.

While the City of Rolling Hills values and supports its employees, this legislation would impose costs that our small city cannot absorb without sacrificing the essential services upon which our residents depend.

Rolling Hills is one of California's smallest cities, operating with a staff of only seven employees.

Unlike many municipalities, we have no commercial or industrial tax base to generate additional revenue. Our General Fund relies primarily on property tax revenue, leaving us with limited financial flexibility to absorb new, ongoing pension obligations imposed by the State. With an annual operating budget of approximately $3 million, the City of Rolling Hills does not have the financial capacity to absorb additional pension obligations, such as those imposed by this bill, without adversely affecting our city’s ability to provide the public services that our residents need.

The City is already managing substantial CalPERS unfunded accrued liability payments that continue to increase each year. Those obligations consume a growing portion of our budget and reduce the resources available to provide core municipal services. AB 1383 would further exacerbate this challenge by increasing future pension costs and eroding the fiscal certainty that PEPRA was designed to provide.

For a city our size, there is no ability to simply "absorb" these costs. Every increase in city retirement costs comes at the expense of the services that our residents require, expect and

Good Morning Mayors, Council Members, & City Management Staff:

The legislature returns from recess on Monday for the final month of the legislative session.

Although letters still help some, calls and text to legislators are a much more valuable way to reach your legislators. Two action alerts are below for your consideration, an oppose unless amended recommendation on SB 1164 (Cervantes), and an oppose recommendation on AB 1383 (McKinnor).

If your city has shifted to district-based elections, please read the SB 1164 alert below! If your city has CalPERS public safety officials or is struggling with rising CalPERS costs, please take a look at the AB 1383 alert below!
Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you at our Division Installation Dinner and Ceremony in one week! Details on that event can be found HERE and registration is HERE.

Cal Cities Action Alert
Oppose Unless Amended SB 1164 (Cervantes) Elections
Action Requested: Call your assembly member ASAP to oppose SB 1164 (Cervantes) unless amended. SB 1164 overhauls the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA), which could expose cities to a new wave of election-related litigation for both at-large and district-based cities. The Assembly Appropriations Committee will soon hear the bill for fiscal review. The Assembly has until Aug. 14 to move fiscal bills out of the Appropriations committee The legislative session ends on Aug. 31, leaving a small window to amend SB 1164 (Cervantes) before it potentially reaches the Governor’s desk. Call your assembly member today! What the Bill Does: SB 1164 is a well-intentioned response to recent federal court decisions that narrowed the federal Voting Rights Act. However, these changes would create uncertainty and increase legal risks for cities by broadening subjective standards into the CVRA framework that apply to virtually any “election policy or practice.” This would include district maps, polling locations, voter outreach programs, and other routine aspects of election administration. The bill also creates new legal standards for voter suppression and vote dilution, which would expand the scope of CVRA violation claims.

However, the measure does not clearly define these concepts. The absence of objective benchmarks may make it difficult for cities to determine whether their practices meet legal requirements.

Why SB 1164 is important to Cal Cities members:

Eliminates meaningful safe harbor protections. Cities that have already transitioned from at-large to district-based elections — often at considerable cost — could face fresh legal challenges under the new framework.

Expands who can bring legal claims and allows lawsuits to be filed outside the affected jurisdiction. This could also increase the volume and complexity of litigation.

Weakens dispute resolution. The bill allows lawsuits to proceed without warning. In fact, the bill exempts the Attorney General from providing notice altogether. As a result, cities may face litigation without a meaningful opportunity to address alleged issues voluntarily.

Creates instability in local elections. Cities could face repeated legal scrutiny of their district maps, including pressure to revise them multiple times within short periods, potentially before and after each decennial census. This could create instability in local election systems and complicate long-term planning.

Oppose AB 1383 (McKinnor) Public employees’ retirement benefits.

Action Requested: Call your senator ASAP to oppose AB 1383 (McKinnor), which makes significant changes to the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) that would result in substantial cost increases for cities and other public agencies. Senate Appropriations will hear AB 1383 for fiscal review this Monday, Aug. 3, as soon as lawmakers return from recess.

The legislative session ends on Aug. 31, leaving a small window to stop AB 1383 from reaching the Governor’s desk. Call your senator today!
Key Messages
AB 1383 would increase pension costs for local governments at a time when cities, like the state, are already managing rising pension obligations, stagnant revenues, and new federal and state mandates. Describe your city’s current budget situation using current data and specific examples and describe how increases to pension liabilities will impact your city’s budget.

The bill would weaken PEPRA reforms that have produced an estimated $5.8 billion in savings to date and are projected to save $26.5 billion over 10 years.

There is nothing optional about the new bargainable tier, especially when cities are already struggling with recruitment and retention. If one city adopts the new tier, workers will go to that agency, forcing cities to pay up to keep up. Higher pension costs would put pressure on city budgets and could affect core services, staffing levels, workforce compensation, community programs, and overall fiscal stability.

What AB 1383 would do
CalPERS projects AB 1383 would increase the value of current benefits by $4.8 billion and accrued liability by $233 million by:

Increasing the pensionable compensation cap for PEPRA public employees.

Reducing the retirement age for public safety employees from 57 to 55, applied prospectively.

Creating a new fourth safety tier with a 3% at 55 formula that would be prospective and subject to collective bargaining.

An act to amend Sections 7522.02, 7522.10, 7522.15, 7522.25, and 20516 of, and to add Sections 7522.19 and 7522.26 to, the Government Code, relating to public employees’ retirement, and making an appropriation therefor.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1383, as amended, McKinnor. Public employees’ retirement benefits.

The Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) establishes the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) to provide a defined benefit to members of the system based on final compensation, credited service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations. Existing law creates the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, which is continuously appropriated for purposes of PERS, including depositing employer and employee contributions.

Under the California Constitution, assets of a public pension or retirement system are trust funds.

The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) establishes a variety of requirements and restrictions on public employers offering defined benefit pension plans. In this regard, PEPRA restricts the amount of compensation that may be applied for purposes of calculating a defined pension benefit for a new Home Bill Information California Law Publications Other Resources My Subscriptions My Favorites 8/4/26, 9:38 AM Bill Text - AB-1383 Public employees’ retirement benefits. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1383 1/14

member, as defined, by restricting it to specified percentages of the contribution and benefit base under a specified federal law with respect to old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits.

Existing law, the Teachers’ Retirement Law, establishes the State Teachers’ Retirement System (STRS) and creates the Defined Benefit Program of the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan, which provides a defined benefit to members of the program, based on final compensation, creditable service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations.

This bill, for service performed on and after January 1, 2027, would prohibit the pensionable compensation for calendar year 2027 used to calculate the defined benefit paid to a new member of a retirement system subject to PEPRA who retires from the system from exceeding specified percentages of the contribution and benefit base under the specified federal law with respect to old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits. The bill would make related, conforming changes to these provisions on pensionable compensation. The bill also would require a new member of STRS to be subject to specified limits of the Teachers’ Retirement Law.

PEPRA requires each retirement system that offers a defined benefit plan for safety members of the system to use one of 3 formulas for safety members, 2% at age 57, 2.5% at age 57, or 2.7% at age 57.

This bill would establish new retirement formulas, for employees first hired on or after January 1, 2027, as 2.5% at age 55, 2.7% at age 55, or 3% at age 55, subject to certain exceptions. For new members hired on or after January 1, 2013, who are safety members, the bill would require employers to adjust the formulas for service performed on or after January 1, 2027, to offer the formula that has the same fraction at age 55 as the fraction at age 57 in the formula the employer offered pursuant to existing law. The bill would authorize a public employer and a recognized employee organization to negotiate a prospective increase to the retirement benefit formulas for safety members and new safety members, consistent with the formulas permitted under PEPRA, including the new formulas described above.

This bill would authorize an employer and its employees to agree in a memorandum of understanding to be subject to a higher safety plan or a lower safety plan, subject to certain requirements, including that the memorandum of understanding is collectively bargained in accordance with applicable laws.

By increasing the contribution to continuously appropriated funds, and by increasing expenditures from those funds, this bill would make an appropriation.

Vote: majority Appropriation: yes Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: no THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(a) California is experiencing significant challenges in the recruitment and retention of safety personnel, including firefighters, police officers, and other first responders. Competitive retirement benefits are critical to ensuring an adequate and well-trained public safety workforce.
(b) Firefighters face heightened risks of occupational diseases, including elevated cancer rates. Studies have shown that firefighters have a significantly higher risk of developing multiple types of cancer due to prolonged exposure to carcinogens and hazardous materials in the line of duty. In 2022, the International Agency for Research on Cancer identified the occupation of firefighting as a Class 1 carcinogen. (c) The physical demands of safety positions are extraordinary, requiring peak physical performance, endurance, and exposure to high-stress, life-threatening situations on a daily basis. These factors contribute to increased rates of disability, injury, and early retirement compared to other professions. (d) Adjusting the retirement age and pension formulas for safety employees is necessary to maintain a sustainable and effective workforce while addressing the unique health and occupational challenges faced by these personnel.
(e) California has a strong history of protecting and promoting collective bargaining rights and providing opportunities for employees and employers to bargain over certain retirement benefits that further enhances opportunities for public employers and employees to partner on stronger retirement security. (f) The compensation cap established under the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 places limits that are significantly less than the current federal limit. To reflect current wage rates across both safety 8/4/26, 9:38 AM Bill Text - AB-1383 Public employees’ retirement benefits. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1383 2/14

and miscellaneous employees, it is necessary to reconsider the appropriate compensation cap level, consistent with federal limits.

SEC. 2. Section 7522.02 of the Government Code is amended to read:
7522.02. (a) (1) Notwithstanding any other law, except as provided in this article, on and after January 1, 2013, this article shall apply to all state and local public retirement systems and to their participating employers, including the Public Employees’ Retirement System, the State Teachers’ Retirement System, the Legislators’ Retirement System, the Judges’ Retirement System, the Judges’ Retirement System II, county and district retirement systems created pursuant to the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 31450) of Part 3 of Division 4 of Title 3), independent public retirement systems, and to individual retirement plans offered by public employers. However, this article shall be subject to the Internal Revenue Code and Section 17 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. The administration of the requirements of this article shall comply with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the Revenue and Taxation Code. (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), this article shall not apply to the entities described in Section 9 of Article IX of, and Sections 4 and 5 of Article XI of, the California Constitution, except to the extent that these entities continue to be participating employers in any retirement system governed by state statute. Accordingly, any retirement plan approved before January 1, 2013, by the voters of any entity excluded from coverage by this section shall not be affected by this article.
(3) (A) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), this article shall not apply to a public employee whose interests are protected under Section 5333(b) of Title 49 of the United States Code until a federal district court rules that the United States Secretary of Labor, or their designee, erred in determining that the application of this article precludes certification under that section, or until January 1, 2016, whichever is sooner. (B) If a federal district court upholds the determination of the United States Secretary of Labor, or their designee, that application of this article precludes them from providing a certification under Section 5333(b) of Title 49 of the United States Code, this article shall not apply to a public employee specified in subparagraph (A).
(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), this article shall not apply to a multiemployer plan authorized by Section 302(c)(5) of the federal Taft-Hartley Act (29 U.S.C. Sec. 186(c)(5)) if the public employer began participation in that plan prior to January 1, 2013, and the plan is regulated by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 1001 et seq.).
(b) The benefit plan required by this article shall apply to public employees who are new members as defined in Section 7522.04.
(c) (1) Individuals who were employed by any public employer before January 1, 2013, and who became employed by a subsequent public employer for the first time on or after January 1, 2013, shall be subject to the retirement plan that would have been available to employees of the subsequent employer who were first employed by the subsequent employer on or before December 31, 2012, if the individual was subject to concurrent membership for which creditable service was performed in the previous six months or reciprocity established under any of the following provisions:
(A) Article 5 (commencing with Section 20350) of Chapter 3 of Part 3 of Division 5 of Title 2. (B) Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 31450) of Part 3 of Division 4 of Title 3. (C) Any agreement between public retirement systems to provide reciprocity to members of the systems. (D) Section 22115.2 of the Education Code.
(2) An individual who was employed before January 1, 2013, and who, without a separation from employment, changed employment positions and became subject to a different defined benefit plan in a different public retirement system offered by their employer shall be subject to that defined benefit plan as it would have been available to employees who were first employed on or before December 31, 2012. (d) If a public employer, before January 1, 2013, offers a defined benefit pension plan that provides a defined benefit formula with a lower benefit factor at normal retirement age and results in a lower normal cost than the defined benefit formula required by this article, that employer may continue to offer that defined benefit formula instead of the defined benefit formula required by this article, and shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 7522.10 for pensionable compensation subject to that formula. However, if the employer adopts a new 8/4/26, 9:38 AM Bill Text - AB-1383 Public employees’ retirement benefits. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1383 3/14

defined benefit formula on or after January 1, 2013, that formula must conform to the requirements of this article or must be determined and certified by the retirement system’s chief actuary and the retirement board to have no greater risk and no greater cost to the employer than the defined benefit formula required by this article and must be approved by the Legislature. New members of the defined benefit plan may only participate in the lower cost defined benefit formula that was in place before January 1, 2013, or a defined benefit formula that conforms to the requirements of this article or is approved by the Legislature as provided in this subdivision. (e) If a public employer, before January 1, 2013, offers a retirement benefit plan that consists solely of a defined contribution plan, that employer may continue to offer that plan instead of the defined benefit pension plan required by this article. However, if the employer adopts a new defined benefit pension plan or defined benefit formula on or after January 1, 2013, that plan or formula must conform to the requirements of this article or must be determined and certified by the retirement system’s chief actuary and the system’s board to have no greater risk and no greater cost to the employer than the defined benefit formula required by this article and must be approved by the Legislature. New members of the employer’s plan may only participate in the defined contribution plan that was in place before January 1, 2013, or a defined contribution plan or defined benefit formula that conforms to the requirements of this article. This subdivision shall not be construed to prohibit an employer from offering a defined contribution plan on or after January 1, 2013, either with or without a defined benefit plan, whether or not the employer offered a defined contribution plan prior to that date. (f) (1) If, on or after January 1, 2013, the Cities of Brea and Fullerton form a joint powers authority pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5), that joint powers authority may provide employees the defined benefit plan or formula that those employees received from their respective employers prior to the exercise of a common power, to which the employee is associated, by the joint powers authority to any employee of the City of Brea, the City of Fullerton, or a city described in paragraph (2) who is not a new member and subsequently is employed by the joint powers authority within 180 days of the city providing for the exercise of a common power, to which the employee was associated, by the joint powers authority.
(2) On or before January 1, 2017, a city in Orange County that is contiguous to the City of Brea or the City of Fullerton may join the joint powers authority described in paragraph (1) (1), but not more than three cities shall be permitted to join.
(3) The formation of a joint powers authority on or after January 1, 2013, shall not act in a manner as to exempt a new employee or a new member, as defined by Section 7522.04, from the requirements of this article. New members may only participate in a defined benefit plan or formula that conforms to the requirements of this article.
(g) (1) If, on or after January 1, 2013, the Belmont Fire Protection District, the Estero Municipal Improvement District, and the City of San Mateo form a joint powers authority pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5), that joint powers authority may provide employees the defined benefit plan or formula that those employees received from their respective employers prior to the exercise of a common power, to which the employee is associated, by the joint powers authority to any employee of the Belmont Fire Protection District, the Estero Municipal Improvement District, and the City of San Mateo who is not a new member and subsequently is employed by the joint powers authority within 180 days of the agency providing for the exercise of a common power, to which the employee was associated, by the joint powers authority.
(2) The formation of a joint powers authority on or after January 1, 2013, shall not act in a manner as to exempt a new employee or a new member, as defined by Section 7522.04, from the requirements of this article. New members may only participate in a defined benefit plan or formula that conforms to the requirements of this article.
(h) (1) On or after January 1, 2026, the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency, a joint powers authority formed pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500)), may provide a defined benefit plan or formula pursuant to paragraph (2) to an employee of a member agency of the joint powers authority or of another public agency, as defined in Section 20056, who is not a new member and who is subsequently employed by the joint powers authority within 180 days of the effective date of the retirement plan contract amendment made pursuant to this section. (2) On or before April 1, 2026, the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency may select a defined benefit plan or formula offered by one of its member agencies prior to the exercise of a common power which the 8/4/26, 9:38 AM Bill Text - AB-1383 Public employees’ retirement benefits. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1383 4/14

member agency offered to its employees on December 31, 2012, and designate that formula for its employees as specified in paragraph (1).

New members may only participate in a defined benefit plan or formula that conforms to the requirements of this article.
(i) The Judges’ Retirement System and the Judges’ Retirement System II shall not be required to adopt the defined benefit formula required by Section 7522.20, 7522.25, or 7522.26, or the compensation limitations defined in Section 7522.10.
(j) This article shall not be construed to provide membership in any public retirement system for an individual who would not otherwise be eligible for membership under that system’s applicable rules or laws.

(2) For service performed on or after January 1, 2027, the employer shall offer the formula in this section that has the same fraction at age 55 as the fraction at age 57 in the formula the employer offered pursuant to Section 7522.25. The formula offered shall maintain the percentage of compensation factor offered as of December 31, 2026, unless the employer and employees have agreed to a higher or lower safety plan pursuant to subdivisions (h) or (i).
(3) This section shall not be construed to provide retroactive benefits to employees. This section shall adjust the prospective benefit for safety employees by adjusting the retirement age to 55. (h) An employer and its employees may agree in a memorandum of understanding to be subject to a higher safety plan, subject to the following:
(1) The higher plan shall apply to members on or after the effective date of the higher plan and shall be agreed to in a memorandum of understanding that has been collectively bargained in accordance with applicable laws. 8/4/26, 9:38 AM Bill Text - AB-1383 Public employees’ retirement benefits. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1383 12/14

(2) The higher plan adopted pursuant to this subdivision shall be subject to Section 7522.44. (i) An employer and its employees may agree in a memorandum of understanding to be subject to a lower safety plan, subject to the following:
(1) The lower plan shall apply to members first employed on or after the effective date of the lower plan and shall be agreed to in a memorandum of understanding that has been collectively bargained in accordance with applicable laws.
(2) A retirement plan contract amendment with a public retirement system to alter a retirement formula pursuant to this subdivision shall not be implemented by the employer in the absence of a memorandum of understanding that has been collectively bargained in accordance with applicable laws. (3) An employer shall not use impasse procedures to impose the lower plan. (4) An employer shall not provide a different defined benefit for nonrepresented, managerial, or supervisory employees than the employer provides for other public employees, including represented employees, of the same employer who are in the same membership classifications. (j) Pensionable compensation used to calculate the defined benefit shall be limited as described in Section 7522.10.
(k) A safety member that is subject to a defined benefit formula prescribed by this section, who is not a new member, shall be subject to contribution rates established pursuant to Section 7522.30.

SEC. 8. Section 20516 of the Government Code is amended to read:
20516. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, with or without a change in benefits, a contracting agency and its employees may agree, in writing, to share the costs of the employer contribution. The cost sharing pursuant to this section shall also apply for related nonrepresented employees as approved in a resolution passed by the contracting agency.
(b) The collective bargaining agreement or memorandum of understanding ratified by the employee bargaining unit and the governing body of the contracting agency shall specify the exact percentage of member compensation that shall be paid toward the current service cost of the benefits by members or the methodology for calculating that cost-sharing rate. The member contributions shall be contributions over and above normal contributions otherwise required by this part and shall be treated as normal contributions for all purposes of this part. The contributions shall be uniform, except as described in subdivision (c), with respect to all members within each of the following classifications: local miscellaneous members, local police officers, local firefighters, county peace officers, and all local safety members other than local police officers, local firefighters, and county peace officers. The balance of any costs shall be paid by the contracting agency and shall be credited to the employer’s account. An employer shall not use impasse procedures to impose member cost sharing on any contribution amount above that which is authorized by law. (c) Member cost sharing may differ by classification for groups of employees subject to different levels of benefits pursuant to Sections 7522.20, 7522.25, 7522.26, and 20475, or by a recognized collective bargaining unit if agreed to in a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to the applicable collective bargaining laws.
(d) This section shall not apply to any contracting agency nor to the employees of a contracting agency until the agency elects to be subject to this section by contract or by amendment to its contract made in the manner prescribed for approval of contracts. Contributions provided by this section shall be withheld from member compensation or otherwise collected when the contract amendment becomes effective. Once the contracting agency elects to be subject to this section, contract amendments shall not be required to effectuate cost sharing in subsequent collective bargaining agreements or memoranda of understanding ratified by the employee bargaining unit and the governing body of the agency; provided, however, that if a collective bargaining agreement or memorandum of understanding sets forth a methodology for calculating the cost-sharing rate instead of an exact percentage, the contracting agency shall provide the retirement system with a signed side letter ratified by the employee bargaining unit and the agency indicating the exact percentage at least 90 days prior to the effective date of the cost-sharing rate as set forth in the signed side letter. (e) For the purposes of this section, all contributions, liabilities, actuarial interest rates, and other valuation factors shall be determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and methods that, in the aggregate, are 8/4/26, 9:38 AM Bill Text - AB-1383 Public employees’ retirement benefits. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1383 13/14

reasonable and that, in combination, offer the actuary’s best estimate of anticipated experience under this system.
(f) Nothing in this section shall preclude a contracting agency and its employees from independently agreeing in a memorandum of understanding to share the costs of any benefit, in a manner inconsistent with this section.

However, any agreement in a memorandum of understanding that is inconsistent with this section shall not be part of the contract between this system and the contracting agency. (g) If, and to the extent that, the board determines that a cost-sharing agreement under this section would conflict with Title 26 of the United States Code, the board may refuse to approve the agreement. (h) Nothing in this section shall require a contracting agency to enter into a memorandum of understanding or collective bargaining agreement with a bargaining representative in order to increase the amount of member contributions when such a member contribution increase is authorized by other provisions under this part.

SEC. 9. It is the intent of the Legislature that this act shall not be construed to affect any retirement benefits or pension rights accrued before its effective date.

The purpose of the policy and the goal of the City are to create credibility and presence in the legislative arena so when contact is necessary on legislation affecting the City, the City is recognized and positively received.

II. Definition
For the purpose of this policy, legislative matters include proposed laws generated by federal, state or local government body or ballot measures, for an election. “Good government” reflects practices and procedures that maintain the autonomy, revenue and services of local government.

III. Responsibilities
The City Council will establish the City’s position on legislative matters. At the direction of the City Council, the City Manager will respond to legislative matters or prepare a recommend response for the City Council’s consideration.

IV. Policies

1. It is the policy of the City to minimize its exposure on legislative matters for the purpose of protecting the City’s privacy, quality of life and unique character.

2. The City will endeavor to build positive relations with elected and appointed officials of neighboring jurisdictions, special districts, and county, state and federal representatives.

3. The City will further endeavor to support “good government” matters to establish good will and be recognized in a positive manner.

4. The City will generally not publicly engage in controversial matters when the City’s position is already being represented in a public fashion by other municipalities. The City will generally convey its position in a lower profile manner including but not exclusively by supporting other jurisdiction’s efforts or making direct contact with a legislator.

5. At the direction of the City Council, City staff will monitor topics of direct relevance or interest to the City including but not limited to housing, land use, environmental issues (e.g., storm and waste water and refuse), sewers, property tax revenues, traffic impacts of development neighboring Cities and general “good government” matters.

LEGISLATIVE POLICY 2 07/23/2007

6. On topics of relevance or interest to the City, the City Manager will inform the City Council of the measure, recommended a strategy for a response, explain the pros and cons of the measure and obtain City Council direction. However, in some cases, the need for a City response is immediate and does not provide an opportunity for obtaining advance direction. In such cases, the City Manager may initiate oral communication with the legislator’s representative to discuss the City’s position. In such situations, the City Manager will advise the City Council of his/her actions at the earliest opportunity.

7. Strategies for responding to legislative matters may vary. Preferred options include:
• Lending support to other agencies who represent the City’s interests • Telephone calls to appropriate officials
• Cooperative efforts with other organizations
• Attendance at meetings to demonstrate a position

8. When the City lends its support to other agencies, it will be done with the concurrence of the City Council.

Subject: Consideration and Approval of an Administrative Policy for Compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Organic Waste Requirements
Background:

Senate Bill 1383 established statewide requirements to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, including methane generated when organic materials decompose in landfills. The regulations require jurisdictions to reduce the disposal of organic waste, such as food scraps, green waste, paper, and cardboard; increase the recovery of edible food that would otherwise be discarded; provide education and outreach regarding organics recycling; procure certain recycled-content products; and maintain procedures for inspections, enforcement, recordkeeping, and other compliance activities.

Following the City's application submittal in December 2021, CalRecycle awarded Rolling Hills a fiveyear Low Population Waiver based on the City's population and rural residential characteristics. The waiver exempts the City from many of SB 1383's collection and implementation requirements. The current waiver will expire in December 2026. In advance of its expiration, staff submitted an application for a new five-year waiver term on August 3, 2026, and is awaiting CalRecycle's response.

Although the waiver reduces many implementation requirements, it does not eliminate the City's responsibility to maintain administrative procedures demonstrating compliance with the applicable provisions of SB 1383 and Chapter 8.10 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.

CalRecycle awarded the City a one-time, noncompetitive SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant of $75,000 to support implementation. Eligible uses include organic-waste collection, edible-food recovery, education and outreach, enforcement and inspections, program evaluation, procurement, and recordkeeping. Beginning in 2024, the City authorized the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to manage the grant, including tracking grant expenditures and submitting required reports to CalRecycle, and to assist with SB 1383 implementation and regional education and outreach. Grant expenditures administered by SBCCOG included the purchase of compost bins and kitchen pails, which were made available to all Rolling Hills residents. At last count, 85 pieces of composting equipment had been distributed to residents. As part of the City’s educational efforts, three composting videos were produced and made available on the City’s website, and two composting workshops were hosted at City Hall last year.

Approximately $20,020 remains available from the original grant award and may be used to support continued implementation of the City's SB 1383 compliance activities.

To implement SB 1383 locally, the City previously adopted Chapter 8.10 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, which establishes the City's organic waste reduction and edible food recovery requirements.

The proposed Administrative Policy provides the internal procedures necessary to administer and document compliance with those existing requirements.

Discussion:

Rolling Hills is a private, residential community with no commercial areas. City Hall and the Rolling Hills Community Association offices are currently the only nonresidential generators operating within the City. The City has no Tier One or Tier Two Commercial Edible Food Generators, Food Recovery Organizations, or Food Recovery Services.

Although the Low Population Waiver exempts the City from many SB 1383 requirements, State regulations require jurisdictions to maintain administrative mechanisms and written procedures for those requirements that remain applicable, regardless of whether regulated commercial edible food generators or food recovery organizations currently exist within the jurisdiction. This policy documents those procedures and provides a consistent administrative framework for City staff. Remaining responsibilities include education and outreach, receiving and investigating complaints, maintaining required records, purchasing recycled-content products, and identifying and inspecting regulated entities should any become established within the City.

The proposed policy is administrative in nature and does not establish new regulatory requirements.

Rather, it formalizes internal procedures that implement existing obligations under SB 1383 and Chapter 8.10 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. The policy assigns staff responsibilities and establishes procedures for annual compliance review, inspections, complaint investigations, procurement, recordkeeping, educational outreach, and renewal of the City's Low Population Waiver.

These procedures must be in place even though the City currently has no regulated commercial edible food generators or food recovery entities. Given Rolling Hills' private residential character and lack of commercial zoning, it is highly unlikely that such regulated entities will become established within the City. Nevertheless, the policy ensures that the required procedures are in place should conditions change and documents the City's continuing compliance with applicable SB 1383 requirements.

The remaining grant funds will support implementation of the proposed policy, including the purchase of recycled-content paper, continued education and outreach, recordkeeping, and other eligible SB 1383 compliance activities.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no impact to the General Fund. Approximately $20,020 remains available from the City's SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant and will continue to fund eligible implementation activities, including education and outreach, procurement, recordkeeping, and other compliance measures.

Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 1422 approving the SB 1383 Administrative Policy, which establishes administrative procedures for implementing and documenting compliance with SB 1383 and Chapter

8.10 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.
