Custodial Funds
Custodial Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments and/or other funds. Agency Funds operate as a clearing mechanism. Cash resources are collected, held for a brief period and then distributed to the proper recipients. The City has a fiduciary responsibility for the assets, which it does not own outright.
Flexible Spending - This fund is used to account for revenues resulting of employee concessions contributions used to reduce the cost of medical, vision and dental health insurance premiums.
Downtown Community Benefit District - This fund accounts for the property assessment generated revenues imposed on the Downtown Community Benefit District. The concept is that eventually the Downtown Community Benefit District will grow and receive revenues from multiple sources within a defined boundary that can among other things, including entrepreneurial activities, special mandate, are not be excluded, and no exemptions for not-for-profit entities are being considered. It can be governed by a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, merging the existing energies in Downtown into just one organization, rather than the 501(c)6 BID and the OSA Foundation. It can receive grants and donations, and merge these with more assessments that are powerful.

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS AND LIBRARY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
KRISTAN LUNDQUIST, LIBRARY & COMMUNITY SERVICES
DIRECTOR
BY: SEAN SCHMIDT, FACILITIES MAINTENANCE MANAGER
TITLE: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS INC. FOR EMERGENCY
SHERWOOD HALL HVAC BOILER REPLACEMENT, CHILLER
MAINTENACE AND WATER TREATMENT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution:
1. Approving Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Environmental Systems Inc. for the HVAC boiler and chiller system improvements at Sherwood Hall in an amount not to exceed $182,044.50 and increase the total compensation to an amount not to exceed $699,400.50;
2. Delegating authority to the City Manager to execute Amendment No.1; and
3. Authorizing a transfer from the Facilities Maintenance Reserve to the Recreation Department – Community Center Division fund of $182,044.50, to cover the expenses related to the improvements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Sherwood Hall’s HVAC boiler and chiller system failed. The boiler was original to the building construction and was having nuisance failures due to its age and condition. The boiler has been changed and is now running well. The chiller system cooling operation is inoperative. The chiller has no flow and needs the cooling tubes changed out due to corrosion and not having been serviced properly. Cleaning the cooling tubes has not helped the system function properly , and a total replacement of the cooling tubes is the only option.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Facilities Division has been collaborating with the Library and Community Services Recreation-Park Division and their on -call service contractor, Environmental Systems Inc. (ESI), for several years to address ongoing issues concerning the HVAC system at Sherwood Page | 2
Hall. Over the course of these discussions, significant challenges have emerged with the building's HVAC control system and its overall operation.
On March 13, 2024, Facilities informed Recreation- Park staff that the building’s HVAC control air system had failed. The system was assessed as part of its quarterly maintenance, and it was determined that there were large air leaks causing the buildings air compressor to operate continually and ultimately fail. The failed control system cause d the building to drastically overheat. The assessment recommended to replace the nomadic HVAC control system to digital.
The replacement not only allow Facilities to detect proper function, but it improved efficiencies by allowing them to address any issues remotely.
On August 12, 2024, the boiler and chiller were shut off to upgrade the control valves for the system. Once the new valves were in place Facilities and ESI found that the boiler would not turn on again and the chiller had no water flow. Upon further inspection the boiler was leaking water, and the gas igniter would not work. ESI brought MFG, the chiller manufacturer to inspect the chiller and found that bells, tubes and tube sheets fouled and need a more aggressive acid cleaning.
Two flow sensors were found to be inoperative, and the chiller software needing to be upgraded.
MFG also shared that no maintenance / service had been done to the system since its purchase.
On November 12, 2024, the Sal inas City Council entered into an agreement with Environmental Systems Inc. (ESI) for the emergency repair of the Sherwood HVAC boiler and chiller system overhaul. This agreement was vital to address the urgent failures within the HVAC system, including th e issues with the boiler leaking water and the chiller system requiring significant maintenance. The agreement was designed to expedite repairs and ensure that both the boiler and chiller were restored to full operational capacity.
Work completed to date includes retrofitting, repairing, and cleaning the HVAC system at Sherwood Hall, specifically addressing the inoperative chiller and cooling operation. The chiller, which was not functioning due to a lack of flow, was thoroughly clea ned and serviced. The end bells, tubes, and tube sheets were removed, as they were found to be fouled and required aggressive acid cleaning. Additionally, two flow sensors were replaced, and a chiller assurance program was conducted, which included opening and inspecting the system.
During the chiller rebuild, an Eddy Current test was conducted, revealing serious issues. Out of 300 tubes, 13 were completely blocked and had no flow, and 40 others had excessive scale build- up or were too thin, which could c ause them to rupture. If a tube ruptures, it could lead to a complete failure of the chiller. Both the testing agency and the chiller manufacturer agree that all the tubes need to be replaced. These problems happened due to long-term neglect of proper water treatment for the chiller and cooling tower.
The amendment will cover the full replacement of all the chiller tubes, applying epoxy coatings, and any other necessary repairs. The amendment also includes a 10% contingency to cover unexpected issues, with a total amount not to exceed $182,044.50.

Environmental Systems, Inc. proposes to provide the labor and material to complete the following:
Proposed Work:
An Eddy Current test was performed during the chiller assurance rebuild. The test results were 13 of the 300 tubes were plugged 100% (no flow through the tube) 40 tubes were found to ether still have excessive internal scale build or the tube wall thickness has decayed and is too thin which will result with a tube rupture. A tube rupture would cause a catastrophic failure of the Chiller.
The testing agency and the MFG agree that the chiller needs to have the all of the tubes replaced.
The internal coatings of the tube sheets have also decayed causing rusting and scale build up on the tube sheet and end bells. The MFG recommends to epoxy coat the tube sheets and end bells.
Both above unforeseen issues were caused by long term neglect of the water treatment requirements for the cooling tower and chiller
Epoxy coating of the tube sheets and end bells……………………………………………$41,950.00 Partial tube replacement (43 of 300 tubes) No Warranty…………………………………$68,220.00 Complete Tube replacement (300 of 300 tubes) Warranty inc…………………………..$123,545.00
Exclusions:
Overtime labor, permits, service, repairs, or component replacement other than stated above
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance.

SAMUEL KLEMEK, FIRE CHIEF
TITLE: SALINAS POLICE AND FIRE 2025 FIREWORKS
ENFORCEMENT PLAN
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Accept the 2025 Fireworks Enforcement Plan per Salinas Municipal Code section 5-02.22.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Measure C, an initiative measure approved by the voters of Salinas in June 2016, allows for the sale and use of “Safe and Sane” fireworks within the city. One component of the measure requires the Salinas Fire Department and the Salinas Police Department t o present a plan outlining public education and enforcement efforts to address illegal fireworks use during the Fourth of July holiday. The plan is multifaceted and includes education, enforcement, and response elements.
BACKGROUND:
As most fireworks vi olations are considered misdemeanors under the law, it is a challenge to prosecute offenders under the rules of evidence and proof without eyewitness corroboration. To that end, our enforcement efforts will again focus on public involvement, education, and the city’s administrative citation process aid in making the sale and use of illegal fireworks “socially unacceptable”.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378) GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 84308 APPLIES:
No.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Page | 2
The objectives of the SPD and SFD’s plan for the Fourth of July are to support the goals of the City Council and;
1. Mitigate hazards and protect life to ensure a safe, livable community.
2. Protect property to promote economic diversity and prosperity.
3. Utilize a practical enforcement model to support an effective, sustainable government.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Costs to cover the 2025 emergency response and enforcement efforts for illegal fireworks will be paid through the 7% surcharge recovered from the sale of Safe-n-Sane fireworks and illegal fireworks citation revenue.

SPECIAL EVENT OPERATIONS ORDERS
4th of July Fireworks enforcement
Friday July 4th, 2025
1500 – 0100 hours
SALINAS POLICE DEPARTMENT MISSION
The mission for this event is to insure public safety and to keep the peace with special attention to potential issues with individuals under the influence of alcohol. The goal of the Salinas Police Department is to provide a safe environment for this event and the community members attending the event. The Salinas Police Department will also ensure traffic around the event is not adversely affected and calls for service regarding the event are promptly addressed.
EVENT DESCRIPTION
As we get closer to July 4th, the calls for illegal fireworks are going to start coming in.
As a result, several brush fires occur and homes catch fire in Salinas. While we won’t be able to prevent all of this, it’s important we address it when we can. Some of the codes have changed and the following is a quick guide to fireworks enforcement.
The best tool we have to deter the use of illeagal fireworks is 5-02.19 SCC. This section allows for an administrative citation be issued to a property owner where illegal fireworks are occurring. If you see aerial fireworks coming from a specific backyard or location, document what you saw as best you can, do a report for 5-02.19 SCC and forward it to City of Salinas Fire Prevention. They are going to be issuing the administrative cites to all property owners after July 4th. Although helpful, making contact with the resident is not even necessary for this section. If feasible - make contact, get statements, collect any additional illegal fireworks and photograph the remains of whatever was launched. Make sure to get the address you suspect into CAD. Using 5-
02.19 SCC is very simple and will only need a short report.
If you observe someone in possession of illegal fireworks, use section 5-02.03 SCC.
There are also H&S sections you can use but SCC are preferred. To determine if fireworks are illegal and not “safe and sane”, look for the seal on the package that says it’s a registered firework with the State of California. An example of this seal is on the attached California Department of Forestry H&S code cheat sheet. For most cases, just photograph the fireworks and place them in the storage locker outside of Fire station #1 (no need to do an evidence tag). You will need to contact the on duty Battalion Chief to access the locker. If you get a more serious case (large quantity or sales), do an evidence tag and book them in the other locker at Fire station #1 that is for retaining items.
If you seize fireworks, cite someone or send a report over to Fire Prevention for an administrative cite, make sure to log it on a stat sheet on the Watch Commander’s desk so we can keep track of our numbers.
SITUATION
Overview of Unit Assignments
This year’s 4th of July falls on a Friday and it is expected that illegal fireworks use will increase as the day gets closer.
The number of officers and sergents assigned to fireworks enforcement is still TBD. The Sergeants will have access to the fireworks crime tips as they are logged by fire personel and assign them to the officers to investigate as needed. Enforcemet action will be taken whenever possible. Depending on the circumstances officers may cite/arrest and/or take aministrative action. When administrative action is taken, a report will be completed and sent to Fire for follow-up. Confiscated fireworks will be disposed of at the location to be determined by Fire.
Drone units will respond to fireworks reports and when able be proactive. Unless public safetey is at risk or any other illegal activity is observed, contact does not need to be made with subjects shooting illegal fireworks. The violation and location will be recorded and the footage will be uploaded as per policy. The footage will be labled with a citation number provided by SFD and a citation will be mailed by them.
EXECUTION OF THE MISSION
Event Briefing
Salinas Police Department and Salinas Fire Department will brief at Station 1 at 1700 hrs.
COMMUNICATIONS
Dispatch
All communications for this event will take place on SPD Channel TBD.
Radio Designators
All Salinas Police Department personnel will be assigned a radio call sign. Those personnel with designated unit call signs (ie: Traffic / Detectives / Reserve Officers) will use their assigned unit call sign. All others will be given a “Frank” unit call sign. Call sign numbers will begin with #10 and increase until all officers have a radio call sign assigned to them.
Chain of Command
All Sworn Officers will report directly to the assigned supervisors for the event (refer to assignment sheet). The Sergeant will personally notify each on-duty Watch Commander of the event, along with providing a personnel roster with radio designators.

Delegation of Settlement Authority to the City Attorney Approve a Resolution delegating authority to settle claims and pending actions against the City, including liability claims and Worker’s Compensation claims, that do not exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) to the City Attorney.

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 22, 2025
DEPARTMENT: OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
FROM: CHRISTOPHER A. CALLIHAN, CITY ATTORNEY
TITLE: RESOLUTION DELEGATING SETTLEMENT AUTHORITY TO
THE CITY ATTORNEY
RECOMMENDATION MOTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve a Resolution delegating authority to settle claims and pending actions against the City, including liability claims and Worker’s Compensation claims, that do not exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) to the City Attorney.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
From 1994 to 2022, the level of settlement authority delegated with respect to pending claims and actions remained unchanged at $20,000. In 2022, the City Council increased the settlement authority to the City Attorney in the amount not to exceed $50,000. The present action to increase the delegation of settlement authority is consistent with the Salinas Charter and with state law and will reduce the need for Council to consider most settlements as part of closed session.
DISCUSSION:
Salinas Charter Section 16.1 provides that “The Council may, by ordinance or resolution, prescribe the procedure for filing, handling, disposing and dealing with any other aspect of claims for damage against the City.” Similarly, Government Code Sections 935.4 allows the Council by resolution to authorize an employee of the City to allow, compromise, or settle a claim against the City which would otherwise be filled and borne by the City Council. Government Code Section 949 allows the C ouncil to delegate its authority to its attorney or employee to compromise any pending action.
The proposed increase in the delegation of authority would allow for the early resolution of most claims without the need for City Council consideration. The proposed increase is more aligned with current fiscal realities and with the purchasing authority recently delegated to the City Manager in the amount of $250,000 (Salinas Municipal Code sections 12-21 and 12-22). The City Council will still receive reports related to settled claims and the status of on-going matters.
Page | 2
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
The City Council’s consideration and approval of the Resolution is not a project subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act because it can be seen with certainty that it will not have a significant effect or physical change to the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)).
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The City Council’s approval of the Resolution is consistent with the City Council’s goal to promote and effective and culturally responsive government by bringing additional efficiency. (2022-2025 Goals)
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Increasing the settlement authority deleted from the City Council to the City Attorney is not expected to have an overall impact on the total amount budgeted and spent in defense and settlement of claims and lawsuits brought against the City. Increased efficiencies in re solving certain claims and lawsuits, without the need for occupying the City Council’s time, may result in some cost savings due to reductions in staff time associated with agenda preparation and attendance at closed sessions.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATIONS
The Resolution requires the coordination of the City Manager, City Attorney, and the City Council.
No other departments are affected by this Resolution.

Agreement with Monterey One Water for Treatment of Pond 3 Industrial Wastewater Approve a Resolution delegating authority to the City Manager to execute agreement with Monterey One Water for the temporary diversion of industrial wastewater from the City’s Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility using the pond 3 pump station to Monterey One Water.

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: APRIL 22, 2025
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, DIRECTOR
TITLE: AGREEMENT WITH MONTEREY ONE WATER FOR
TREATMENT OF POND 3 INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution delegating authority to the City Manager to execute agreement with Monterey One Water for the temporary diversion of industrial wastewater from the City’s Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility using the pond 3 pump station to Monterey One Water.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The ponds at the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility (IWTF) have reduced percolation and continue to come close to the freeboard limits in the discharge permit. To maintain freeboard, the City is working with Monterey One Water (M1W) and Monterey County Water Resources Agency to take water using the pond 3 pump station. Depending on the use and amount of water taken i t is estimated the cost of diverting and treating the water is going to range between $ 150,000 and $250,000.
BACKGROUND:
The IWTF site was built in 1943 to serve as a vegetable wastewater treatment processing facility which initially consisted of a series of percolation ponds. The facility has been expanded over the years to include additional percolation ponds, an aeration lagoon, and drying beds. Currently, it spans approximately 280 acres with a permitted capacity of 4 million gallons per day (mgd).
The IWTF operates under a General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) (Order No. R3‐2004‐ 0066) from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The IWTF is specifically prohibited from discharging effluent to the Salinas River.
Currently, 23 industrial users contribute wastewater flow to the IWTF (the IWTF is located south of the City next to the Salinas River) . These industr ial users are primarily performing food processing, which includes vegetable packaging, ice manufacturing and produce refrigeration.
Industrial wastewater flows vary seasona lly. Peak flow within the system occurs during the summer months, which coincides with the peak harvesting season. Flows are lower in the winter, which coincides with decreased processing due to lower harvests.
Page | 2
A collaborative effort between the City and Monterey One Water (M1W) resulted in the installation of permanent facilities in 2016 to divert the industrial wastewater directly to the M1W Regional Treatment Plant (RTP). Further collaboration resulted in a Proposition 1 Storm Water Grant from the State Water Resources Control Board. The grant allowed construction of the stormwater diversion facilities and a pump station to convey both wastewater and stormwater to the RTP after treatment through the IWTF. These improvements were completed in 2020.
Collectively, these improvements allow the system to transfer stormwater and industrial wastewater to the RTP for reuse and recycling.
In the past M1W has worked with the City to temporarily accept industrial wastewater to lower water levels at the IWTF due to operational concerns regarding regulatory requirements. This has occurred periodically over the last few years with a letter of agreement and terms executed each time. Each time a request has been made the terms of the agreement include reimbursement of costs incurred by M1W in accepting and treating these flows:
• January 2023: In response to severe weather and flooding of the ponds • March 13, 2023 – May 1, 2023: Flooding shutdown use of the IWTF • February 16, 2024 – April 21, 2024: In response to severe weather and freeboard concerns with the ponds
• November 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024: In response to freeboard concerns with the ponds
In an attempt to mitigate the freeboard issues that occur lat er in the year and to possibly use the water for beneficial uses M1W, MCWRA and the City met to develop the City of Salinas industrial wastewater treatment facility effluent interim agreement. This agreement is a stop gap agreement as the the City develops a long-term strategy and vision.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project . The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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 activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subse quent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This project addresses the current City Council’s Goals of “ Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability” and “Effective and Culturally Responsive Government.” Page | 3
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Public Works Department is collaborating with Legal and Administration Departments.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Funding is available and appropriated for the current fiscal year. Anything beyond this fiscal year will be included as part of the annual budget process and is subject to the appropriation of funds.
However, while the City has some responsibility for the conveya nce and treatment costs, section 5 e, f, and g, specifies which Agency will be responsible for the costs based on who uses the water.

TITLE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2024 -058; REQUEST TO
ESTABLISH AND OPERATE AN OFF -SALE ALCOHOL
RELATED USE (TYPE 20 ABC LICENSE) AT AN EXISTING FOOD
AND BEVERAGE SALES USE LOCATED AT 695 EAST ALISAL
STREET IN THE COMMERCIAL RETAIL – EAST ALISAL

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution finding the project exempt pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, affirming the findings, and approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2024- 058.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
RJK Liquor Incorporated is proposing to establish and operate an off-sale alcohol related use (Type 20 ABC license – Off-sale beer and wine) at an existing 2,960 square-foot food and beverage sales use (La Corona Market) located at 695 East Alisal Street. The site is developed with multiple structures and is classified by the Zoning Code as a mixed -use development containing both commercial and residential uses. On April 2, 2025, the Planning Commission considered the CUP request and reached a tie vote of 2 to 2 , as not all members were present . Per Section 6 of the Bylaws for the Planning Commission (Resolution No. 21165), because of the tie vote, the Planning Commission public hearing resulted in no action and the item is to be forwarded to the City Council for final determination. (See attached draft April 2, 2025, Planning Commission minutes).
BACKGROUND:
RJK Liquor Incorporated is proposing to establish and operate an off-sale alcohol related use (Type 20 ABC license – License No. 663957) at an existing 2,960 square -foot food and beverage sales use (La Corona Market). A Type 20 license includes sales of b eer and wine for off site consumption (see attached Site Plan and Floor Plans). The Applicant is proposing to transfer an active Type 20 off -sale alcohol license (License No. 570016 – Fresh Market and Produce) from 201 East Alisal Street to the project si te. There was a previous Type 20 off -sale alcohol license (License No. 136372) on-site, which per ABC records was canceled on May 4, 2011.
Page | 2
The subject property is owned by Hebbron Properties LLC. The site is developed with multiple structures consisting of an existing food and beverage sales use (La Corona Market), an adjacent business and professional office use (Amezcua Insurance) at 7 North Hebbron Avenue, and three (3) residential units (13 North Hebbron Avenue #A, #B, and #C) located to the rear of the property without direct access to the main entrance of the food and beverage sales use which is facing East Alisal Street. Per the Zoning Code, the site is classified as a mixed -use development containing both commercial and residential uses.
The subject property is in the CR-FG-5 (Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay) Zoning District. The following provides an overview of the land uses and zoning districts adjacent to the project site:
North: Residential / Residential Medium Density (R-M-2.9) South: Restaurant / Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay (CR-FG-5)
East: Restaurant / Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay (CR-FG-5)
West: Restaurant / Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay (CR-FG-5)
Analysis:
Undue Concentration
Concerning off-sale alcohol-related uses, “undue concentration” is defined per California Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4 as either: (1) the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the premises is located exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population in the coun ty in which the premises is located : or (2) the premises is located in a crime reporting district that has a twenty percent (20%) greater number of reported crimes (i.e., the most recent yearly compilation by the local law enforcement agency of reported offenses of criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic violations) than the average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting districts within the jurisdiction of the local law enforcement agency.
The proposed location is within Census Tract 5.01 (CT 5.01). Per ABC, there are currently five (5) active off-sale licenses within CT 5.01 as shown below:
Distance from
Name of Licensee Address Project Site
1. East Market Store (Type 20) 701 East Market Street 1,150 feet
2. Maritza Market (Type 20) 549 East Market Street 1,600 feet
3. Young’s Market (Type 21) 660 East Market Street 1,060 feet
4. Neighborhood Market (Type 20) 505 East Market Street 1,900 feet
5. Los Primos Market (Type 20) 825 East Market Street 1,020 feet Page | 3
Per ABC, four (4) off -sale licenses are authorized in CT 5.01. Currently, the subject CT 5.01 is classified as undue concentration as there are five (5) active off -sale alcohol licenses, which is higher than the four (4) authorized. Approval of the proposed Type 20 off -sale alcohol license would result in six (6) off-sale alcohol licenses in a census tract that is already undue concentrated for the number of off-sale alcohol licenses.
The attached Map of off -sale Alcohol Licenses dated October 2019 shows the location of the proposed off-sale alcohol license to other off-sale alcohol licenses. The closest off-sale license to the project site is located at 606 East Alisal Street (GL Liquor), which is in CT 9 and is approximately 650 feet to the west of the project site. The average distance to off -sale alcohol outlets in CT 5.01 is 1,346 feet, which is greater than the average of 956 feet for approved off-sale alcohol CUPs in a CT since 2010 (see Table 1 below).
The project site is in a PRD which exceeds the number of reported crimes. As shown on Table 1 below, the average level of undue concentration for Conditional Use Permits processed since 2010 is 119%. The proposed project exceeds this number (150% vs. 119%). The crime rate for the subject PRD is 182% over the average rate considered as undue concentration for crime (328% vs. 146%).

Salinas Police Department Comments and Conditions
Salinas Police Department reports an average of 61.21 reported crimes across all Police Reporting Districts (PRD) for 2023, the most recent date of PRD records. Adding twenty percent (20%), the formula allows for no more than 73.45 reported crimes within t his PRD to avoid the “undue concentration” designation. 2023 Salinas Police Department (SPD) crime statistics showing 241 reported crimes in PRD 52, which is above the 73.45 threshold, which places the site within an area of undue concentration due to crime. The attached 2024 Salinas PRD statistics shows that the crime rate in PRD 52 has increased from 241 to 259. Per the Salinas Police Department memorandum, while an increase in police services for this project is anticipated, the Police Page | 4
Department does n ot object to the approval of Conditional Use Permit 2024 -058 with the conditions of approval stated in the memorandum (see attached Salinas Police Department memorandum dated October 18, 2024).
Because the proposed site is located within an area of undu e concentration due to number of alcohol licenses in the CT 5.01 and the number of reported crimes in PRD 52, a finding that Public Convenience or Necessity is served by approving the off -sale alcohol use is required should the City Council determine to approve the CUP. A finding of Public Convenience or Necessity could be determined as customers would be able to complete their shopping needs without having to travel to a range of retail outlets.
Proximity to Residences, Parks, and Schools
The closest residences are located on the subject property and residentially zoned land located adjacent to the north of the proposed alcohol related use (15 Hebbron Avenue). The nearest park is La Paz Neighborhood Park (560 Roosevelt Street), which is located approximately 830 feet to the northwest of the subject site. The subject site is located approximately 1,830 feet to the south of Cesar Chavez Park. The nearest public school is Sherwood Elementary School (110 South Wood Street), which is located approximately 630 feet southwest from the subject site.
The subject property is located less than the average distance of other similar projects to residences, residentially zoned properties, parks/playgrounds, and other public schools than other CUP applications (approved, denied, or expired) dating back to the year 2010. Table 2 below lists the 59 Conditional Use Permit (CUP) applications for alcohol related uses that have been processed since 2010. Five (5) off-sale alcohol related CUPs located in an area of undue concentration have been required to comply with the City’s former One-for-One policy.

April 2, 2025, Planning Commission Meeting
On April 2, 2025, the Planning Commission considered CUP 2024-058. Commissioners expressed concerns with the distance of the project site to nearby parks and schools and the high number of off-sale alcohol outlets in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission voted 2 to 2 (tie vote).
Per Section 6 of the Bylaws for the Planning Commission (Resolution No. 21165), because of the tie vote, the Planning Commission public hearing resulted in no action and the item was forwarded to the City Coun cil for final determination (see draft April 2, 2025 . Planning Commission minutes).
TIME CONSIDERATION:
The project was deemed complete on March 23, 2025. Final action is required by May 22, 2025, pursuant to the Permit Streamlining Act.

(CUP 2024-058)
WHEREAS, on April 2, 2025 , the Salinas Planning Commission, at the request of the Applicant, RJK Liquor Incorporated, held a duly noticed public hearing to consider Conditional Use Permit 2024-058 to establish and operate a proposed off-sale alcohol related use (Type 20 ABC license) at an existing 2,960 square-foot and beverage sales use (La Corona Market) located at 695 East Alisal Street in the Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay (CR-FG-5) Zoning District (Assessor's Parcel Number 004-074-016-000); and

WHEREAS, Commissioners expressed concerns with the distance of the project site to nearby parks and schools and with the high number of off -sale alcohol outlets in the surrounding area; and

WHEREAS, the Salinas City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on April 22, 2025 and weighed the evidence presented at said public hearing, including the Staff Report which is on file at the Community Development Department together with the record of environmental review; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Salinas City Council that it approves Conditional Use Permit 2024-058; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Salinas City Council adopts the following findings as the basis for its determination, and that the foregoing recitations are true and correct, and are included herein by reference as findings:
1. The project has been found to be Exempt pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines;
The project has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The proposed project is exempt because the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing significant effect
on the environment. Where it can be seen that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
2. The proposed location of the use is in accordance with the objectives of the Salinas General Plan, this Zoning Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located;
The site is designated Mixed Use by the 2002 Salinas General Plan. The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Goals and Policies. Retail sales of beer and wine for off-site consumption at the food and beverage sales use would provide City residents in the community with opportunities for jobs and shopping, consistent with Land Use Goal LU -1 and Policy LU -1.1. A new off -sale alcohol use it would be consistent with Economic Development Element Policy ED -LU-1.17, which identifies and promote s opportunities for new investment in property and land development.
Per Section 37-50.030(a), the purpose of Alcohol License Review regulations is to provide for the orderly integration of alcohol-related uses in the City. In accordance with Section 37 -50.030(c), the proposed off -sale alcohol-related use at 695 East Alisal Street would be regulated by a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). As shown on the official Zoning Map, the site is in the CR-FG-5 (Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay ) Zoning District. Per Zoning Code Section 37-30.300(e)(1), the CR district provides for a range of retail stores, restaurants, hotels and motels, commercial recreation, personal services, business services, offices, financial services, mixed use residential and/or limited residential uses.
3. The proposed location of the conditional use and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained are consistent with the Salinas General Plan and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacen t to the neighborhood of such use, nor detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or the general welfare of the City of Salinas; and
The site is designated Mixed Use by the 2002 Salinas General Plan. The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Goals and Policies. Retail sales of beer and wine for off-site consumption at the existing retail sales use would provide City residents in the community with opportunities for jobs and shopping, consistent with Land Use Goal LU-1 and Policy LU-1.1. New off-sale alcohol use it would be consistent with Economic Development Element Policy ED-LU-1.17, which identifies and promotes opportunities for new investment in property and land development. The project will be required to comply with conditions of approval contained in the Conditional Use Permit, including the Police Department conditions requiring installation of a digital surveillance system and ample on-site lighting.
4. The proposed conditional use will comply with the provisions of the Sali nas Zoning Code, including any specific conditions required for the proposed use.
Conditions have been recommended for this permit to ensure that, when implemented, the project will conform and comply with the provisions of the Salinas Zoning Code. Per Zoning Code Section 37-50.030(f), conditions required for an off- sale alcohol-related use include but are not limited to the following: the premises shall be maintained free of litter at all times; and, all business owners and managers shall complete a program certified by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) as a qualified responsible beverage service (RBS) program prior to the commencement of the use. Additional conditions of approval in the Conditional Use Permit require a digital surveillance system with high quality cameras, ample lighting in the exterior area of entrances/exits, and the posting of trespassing signs.
5. The Alcohol-Related use will neither adversely affect the welfare of the area nor of surrounding residentially zoned neighb orhoods, giving due consideration to the distance of the proposed use from other Alcohol-Related uses, residentially zoned property, public schools, public playgrounds, and other similar uses; and giving further consideration to crime rates, calls for emergency services, and residential densities in the surrounding area; and
The proposed location is within Census Tract 5.01 (CT 5.01). Per ABC, there are currently five (5) active off-sale licenses within CT 5.01 which are shown below:
Name of Licensee Address
1. East Market Store (Type 20) 701 East Market Street
2. Maritza Market (Type 20) 549 East Market Street
3. Young’s Market (Type 21) 660 East Market Street
4. Neighborhood Market (Type 20) 505 East Market Street
5. Los Primos Market (Type 20) 825 East Market Street
Per ABC, four (4) off-sale licenses are authorized in CT 5.01. Currently, the subject CT 5.01 is undue concentrated for the number of off-sale alcohol licenses (four (4) authorized, five (5) active). Approval of the proposed Type 20 off -sale alcohol license would result in six (6) off-sale alcohol licenses in census tract that is already undue concentrated in terms of the number of off -sale alcohol licenses. The Applicant is transferring an active Type 20 off -sale alcohol licens e (License No. 570016 – Fresh Market and Produce) from 201 East Alisal Street to the project site.
The closest off-sale license to the project site is located at 606 East Alisal Street (GL Liquor), which is in C T 9 and is approximately 650 feet to the west of the project site. The average distance to other off-sale alcohol outlets in CT 5.01 is 1,346 feet, which is greater than the average of 956 feet for approved off-sale alcohol CUPs in a Census Tract since 2010.
The closest residences are located on the subject property and residentially zoned land located adjacent to the north of the proposed alcohol related use (15 Hebbron Avenue). The nearest park is La Paz Neighborhood Park (560 Roosevelt Street), which is located approximately 830 feet to the northwest of the subject site. The nearest public school is Sherwood Elementary School ( 110 South Wood Street ),
which is located approximately 630 feet southwest from the subject site.
The subject property is located less than the average distance of similar projects to residences, residentially zoned properties, parks /playgrounds, and other public schools than other CUP applications (approved, denied, or expired) dating back to the year 2010. For the above reasons, the proposed project will neither adversely affect the welfare of the area nor of surrounding residentially zoned neighborhoods
Per the Salinas Police Department memorandum dated October 18, 2024, the Police Department reports an average of 61.21 reported crimes across all Police Reporting Districts (PRD) for 2023, the most recent date of PRD records. Adding 20%, the formula allows for no more than 73.45 reported crimes within this PRD to avoid the “undue concentration” designation. The 2023 Salinas Police Department (SPD) crime statistics indica ted 241 reported crimes in PRD 52, which is above the 73.45 threshold, indicating that it is appropriate to label the site within an area of undue concentration due to crime. Per the Salinas Police Department memorandum, an increase in police services for this project is anticipated. However, the Salinas Police Department does not object to the approval of Conditional Use Permit 2024-058, if the following recommended conditions, which are included as conditions of approval in the Conditional Use Permit, are required:
1. Digital surveillance system with high quality cameras focused on the points of sales, entrances/exits of the business and the parking lot, with the capability to store the digital images captured. The video/photos must be retained for 30 days and be made available to police upon request.
2. Ample lighting in the parking lots, exterior area of entrances/exits and situated in areas to enhance video surveillance equipment.
6. The location of the proposed Off-sale Alcohol-Related use is located within an area of undue concentration (as defined by Business and Professions Code Sections 23958.4 and administered by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control), pursuant to Business and Professions Code Sections 23817.7, the public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of the alcohol license by the ABC.
The project site is in an area of undue concentration due to the number of off -sale retail licenses within the census tract and crime within the Salinas Police Reporting District (PRD). The Salinas Police Department does not object to the approval of Conditional Use Permit 2024-058 if the comments stated in their memorandum dated October 18, 2024 , are included as conditions of approval in the Conditional Use Permit. Public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of the license by the ABC because it would provide a convenience to the public that allows customers to avoid additional trips to other stores to purchase beer and wine which minimizes additional trips on the street network. The operator of the proposed off- sale alcohol related use shall be required to obtain a beverage sales license from the State Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC) and comply with all applicable regulations of the state permit, includin g the terms and conditions of the City of Salinas Conditional Use Permit.

CITY OF SALINAS
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
DATE: APRIL 2, 2025
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: COURTNEY GROSSMAN, PLANNING MANAGER
BY: THOMAS WILES, SENIOR PLANNER
TITLE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2024-058; REQUEST TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE A N OFF-SALE ALCOHOL RELATED USE (TYPE 20 ABC
LICENSE) AT AN EXISTING FOOD AND BEVERAGE SALES USE
LOCATED AT 695 EAST ALISAL STREET IN THE COMMERCIAL
RETAIL – EAST ALISAL STREET/EAST MARKET STREET FOCUSED
GROWTH OVERLAY (CR-FG-5) ZONING DISTRICT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution finding the project exempt pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, affirming the findings, and approving Conditional Use Permit 2024-058.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
RJK Liquor Incorporated is proposing to establish and operate an off-sale alcohol related use (Type 20 ABC license – Off-sale beer and wine) at an existing 2,960 square-foot food and beverage sales use (La Corona Market) located at 695 East Alisal Street. The site i s developed with multiple structures and is classified by the Zoning Code as a mixed-use development containing both commercial and residential uses.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
RJK Liquor Incorporated is proposing to establish and operate an off-sale alcohol related use (Type 20 ABC license – License No. 663957) at an existing 2,960 square-foot food and beverage sales use (La Corona Market) . A Type 20 license includes sales of beer and wine for off site consumption (see attached Site Plan and Floor Plans). The Applicant is proposing to transfer an active Type 20 off -sale alcohol license (License No. 570016 – Fresh Market and Produce) from Page | 2
201 East Alisal Street to the project site.
The subject property is owned by Hebbron Properties LLC . The site is developed with multiple structures consisting of an existing food and beverage sales use (La Corona Market), an adjacent business and professional office use (Amezcua Insurance) at 7 North Hebbron A venue, and three (3) residential units (13 North Hebbron Avenue #A, #B, and #C) located to the rear of the property without direct access to the main entrance of the food and beverage sales use which is facing East Alisal Street. Per the Zoning Code, the site is classified as a mixed-use development containing both commercial and residential uses.
The subject property is in the CR-FG-5 (Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay) Zoning District. The following provides an overview of the land uses and zoning districts adjacent to the project site:
North: Residential / Residential Medium Density (R-M-2.9) South: Restaurant / Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay (CR-FG-5)
East: Restaurant / Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay (CR-FG-5)
West: Restaurant / Commercial Retail – East Alisal Street/East Market Street Focused Growth Overlay (CR-FG-5)
Analysis:
Undue Concentration
Concerning off-sale alcohol-related uses, “undue concentration” is defined per California Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4 as either: (1) the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the premises is located exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population in the county in which the premises is located : or (2) the premises is located in a crime reporting district that has a twenty percent (20%) greater number of reported crimes (i.e., the most recent yearly compilation by the local law enforcement agency of reported offenses of criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic violations) than the average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting districts within the jurisdiction of the local law enforcement agency.
The proposed location is within Census Tract 5.01 (CT 5.01). Per ABC, there are currently five (5) active off-sale licenses within CT 5.01 as shown below:
Distance from
Name of Licensee Address Project Site
1. East Market Store (Type 20) 701 East Market Street 1,150 feet Page | 3
2. Maritza Market (Type 20) 549 East Market Street 1,600 feet
3. Young’s Market (Type 21) 660 East Market Street 1,060 feet
4. Neighborhood Market (Type 20) 505 East Market Street 1,900 feet
5. Los Primos Market (Type 20) 825 East Market Street 1,020 feet
Per ABC, four (4) off-sale licenses are authorized in CT 5.01. Currently, the subject CT 5.01 is classified as undue concentration as there are five (5) active off-sale alcohol licenses, which is higher than the four (4) authorized. Approval of the proposed Type 2 0 off-sale alcohol license would result in six (6) off-sale alcohol licenses in a census tract that is already undue concentrated for the number of off-sale alcohol licenses.
The attached Map of off -sale Alcohol Licenses dated October 2019 shows the location of the proposed off-sale alcohol license to other off-sale alcohol licenses. The closest off-sale license to the project site is located at 606 East Alisal Street (GL Liquor ), which is in CT 9 and is approximately 650 feet to the west of the project site. The average distance to off -sale alcohol outlets in CT 5.01 is 1,346 feet, which is greater than the average of 956 feet for approved off-sale alcohol CUPs in a CT since 2010 (see Table 1 below).
The project site is in a PRD which exceeds the number of reported crimes. As shown on Table 1 below, the average level of undue concentration for Conditional Use Permits processed since 2010 is 119%. The proposed project exceeds this number (1 50% vs. 119%). The crime rate for the subject PRD is 182% over the average rate considered as undue concentration for crime (328% vs. 146%).

Salinas Police Department Comments and Conditions
Salinas Police Department reports an average of 61.21 reported crimes across all Police Reporting Districts (PRD) for 2023, the most recent date of PRD records. Adding twenty percent (20%), the formula allows for no more than 73.45 reported crimes within this PRD to avoid the “undue concentration” designation. 2023 Salinas Police Department (SPD) crime statistics showing 241 Page | 4
reported crimes in PRD 52, which is above the 73.45 threshold, which places the s ite within an area of undue concentration due to crime. The attached 2024 Salinas PRD statistics shows that the crime rate in PRD 52 has increased from 241 to 259. Per the Salinas Police Department memorandum, while an increase in police services for this project is anticipated, the Police Department does not object to the approval of Conditional Use Permit 2024 -058 with the conditions of approval stated in the memorandum (see attached Salinas Police Department memorandum dated October 18, 2024).
Because the proposed site is located within an area of undue concentration due to number of alcohol licenses in the CT 5.01 and the number of reported crimes in PRD 52, a finding that Public Convenience or Necessity is served by approving the off-sale alcohol use is required should the Planning Commission determine to approve the CUP. A finding of P ublic Convenience or Necessity could be determined as customers would be able to complete their shopping needs without having to travel to a range of retail outlets.
Proximity to Residences, Parks, and Schools
The closest residences are located on the subject property and residentially zoned land located adjacent to the north of the proposed alcohol related use (15 Hebbron Avenue). The nearest park is La Paz Neighborhood Park (560 Roosevelt Street), which is located approximately 830 feet to the northwest of the subject site. The nearest public school is Sherwood Elementary School (110 South Wood Street), which is located approximately 630 feet southwest from the subject site.
The subject property is located less than the average distance of other similar projects to residences, residentially zoned properties, parks /playgrounds, and other public schools than other CUP applications (approved, denied, or expired) dating back to the year 2010.
One-for-One Policy
The Planning Commission previously determined that a One -for-One policy should be required for off-sale licenses located in areas of undue concentration. A One-for-One policy would require the elimination of one existing, active off-sale alcohol-related use located within City limits to be either from an area of “undue concentration” (based on either the number of retail off -sale ABC licenses or the number of reported crimes) or a nonconforming use (i.e., without a Conditional Use Permit). The One-for-One Policy was originally established in 2007 by the City Council to limit the number of off -sale alcohol outlets in the City, by requiring new outlets to retire an existing license within the City of Salinas. However, the policy was eliminated by City Council on July 9, 2013. As stated above, the Applicant is transferring a Type 20 off -sale alcohol license (License No. 570016) from 201 East Alisal Street to the project site.
Table 2 below lists the 59 Conditional Use Permit (CUP) applications for alcohol related uses that have been processed since 2010. Five (5) off-sale alcohol related CUPs located in an area of undue concentration have been required to comply with the City’s former One-for-One policy.

Conditions of Approval
The City generally requires a CUP for alcohol -related uses (Salinas City Code §37 -50.030) and may lawfully regulate through its land use and zoning authority the potentially negative social and environmental effects of alcohol serving businesses. In this regard, the City’s Zoning Code imposes a variety of specific requirements for alcohol-related uses and for all alcohol-related uses located in areas of undue concentration, which are discussed in turn below.
Pursuant to Zoning Code Section 37 -50.030(f), if the Planning Commission determines that a public convenience or necessity would be served by the approval of the CU P and the subsequent issuance of an alcohol license by ABC, the CUP would contain the following conditions of approval:
1. Alcohol shall not be sold between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Coolers containing alcoholic beverages shall be locked between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and Page | 8
6:00 a.m.
2. The premises shall be maintained free of litter at all times.
3. No sale or distribu tion of alcoholic beverages shall be made from a drive -up or walk-up window.
4. No display of alcoholic beverages shall be made from an ice tub.
5. No "single-serving" or "one-can" sales of alcoholic beverages shall be made from the premises. A sign to this effect in English and Spanish shall be maintained at the cashier station at all times.
6. No more than f our (4) cooler doors shall be allocated to alcohol sales. Coolers without doors shall be limited to 32 lineal feet.
7. No alcoholic beverage shall be displayed within five feet of the cash register or the front door of the premises unless displayed in a permanently affixed cooler.
8. No self -illuminated advertising for alcoholic beverages shall be located on buildings or windows.
9. All business owners and managers shall complete a program certified by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) as a qualified responsible beverage service (RBS) program prior to the commencement of the use. Any business established after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section shall require such training of all owners and managers within ninety days of ownership transfer or hire. Failure of managers to obtain training shall be the liability of the owner. The owner shall maintain on the premises a fi le containing the certificates of training and shall present the file and its contents upon request by the City at any time during normal business hours. The provisions of this section regarding responsible beverage training shall be suspended upon a findi ng by the City Planner that the training is not reasonably available.
10. An electronic age verification scanner shall be installed, maintained, and utilized for all off-sale alcohol sales.
11. Signs shall be posted at the location in English and Spanish with re gard to prohibitions of open containers and loitering at the location, and no loitering will be tolerated.
12. No single 40 oz. containers of beer may be sold from premises.
13. No malt liquor or fortified wine products (wines with greater than 15% alcohol Page | 9
content) shall be sold.
14. Sales of wine shall be in containers of at least 750 ml.
15. No coin operated video or arcade games and no adult magazines or videos shall be sold.
16. No pay telephone booths shall be permitted on the premises.
17.

Additional conditions could be added, including those recommended by the Salinas Police Department per the attached comments dated October 18, 2024 (Exhibit “E” of CUP 2024-058):
1. Digital surveillance system with high quality cameras focused on the points of sales, entrances/exits of the business and the parking lot, with the capability to store the digital images captured. The video/photos must be retained for 3 0 days and be made available to Police upon request.
2. Ample lighting in the parking lots, exterior area of entrances/exits and situated in areas to enhance video surveillance equipment.
Findings:
The Planning Commission may approve an application for Conditional Use Permit to establish and operate an Off-sale alcohol related use (Type 20 ABC license ) for an existing 2,960 square -foot food and beverage sales use (La Corona Market) located on a mixed-use property, if all the findings set forth in the proposed Planning Commission Resolution are established.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
The environmental impacts of the project have been analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project has been determined to be exempt from t he California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The proposed project is exempt because the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing sign ificant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Page | 10
TIME CONSIDERATION:
The project was deemed complete on March 23, 2025. Final action is required by May 22, 2025, pursuant to the Permit Streamlining Act.
ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE TO THE COMMISSION:
The Planning Commission has the following alternatives:
1. Affirm the findings set forth in the attached Resolution, find the application exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and approve Conditional Use Permit 2024-058 with modifications; or
2. Find that the proposal is not appropriate and establish findings at the public hearing stating the reasons for not approving Conditional Use Permit 2024-058.

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: APRIL 22, 2025
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: ADRIANA, ROBLES, CITY ENGINEER
TITLE: CITY DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution increasing City Development Impact Fees by 1.6% effective July 1, 2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Impact fees are one-time charges on new development collected and used by jurisdictions to fund the cost of public facilities that are necessary to serve new growth. Historically, the City of Salinas has adjusted its Development Impact Fees annually, with one exception during COVID, to account for fluctuation in construction costs and to keep pace with inflation. Staff has identified the current and proposed increases to those fees within this staff report and Exhibits.
BACKGROUND:
The City imposes fees on development to fund improvements to capital infrastructure and facilities required to accommodate and service ongoing development (Development Impact Fees).
Appropriately adjusted Development Impact Fees are a benefit to the community and to Developers alike. The public benefits by being able to improve or expand facilities as necessary to accommodate growth. Developers benefit by being able to mitigate certain impacts caused by their project on a fair share basis. No developer is required to solely mitigate a large impact caused by cumulative development. In other words, there is no single developer to construct a majo r interchange project, build a new fire station, or upgrade a major sewer trunk main. Developers are also able to mitigate many impacts of their project identified through the CEQA, without lengthy and expensive study. A fee program that is not appropria tely adjusted, does not allow for the proper mitigation of impact due to growth.
Article V, Section 9 -40 through 9 -50 of the Salinas Municipal Code, defines the scope of these fees. Section 9 -42(b) of the Code allows Development Impact Fees to be adjust ed annually to account for the fluctuation in construction costs. The industry standard for determining the fluctuations in construction costs is the Engineering News Record (ENR). The “construction cost index” (CCI) as published by the ENR is based on a combination of labor rates and material costs, Page | 2
which are most reflective of construction costs averaged among 20 major metropolitan areas around the United States. Code Section 9 -42(b) specifically states “The development impact fee levels may be changed in accordance with the percentage change in the ENR index from January 1 to January 1 of each preceding year, but in no case shall the indexing increase or decrease in development impact fees allowed by this section fee exceed that shown in the ENR index. ” Attached to this report is a copy of the ENR Construction Economics summary for January, which provides background of how the index increased 1.6% between January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025 (Attachment 1).
Exhibit A lists the current and proposed deve lopment fee schedules for impacts to City infrastructure, including parks, street trees, storm drains, sanitary sewers, and traffic. Exhibit B lists the current and proposed development fee schedules for impacts to public facilities, such as fire, police, library, and recreation, and impacts to park faci lities. Exhibit C provides a summary of revenues and expenditures of development impact fees.
It should be noted that the Monte Bella/Williams Ranch subdivisions are fully built out and the Monte Bella/Williams Ranch Library and Fire Protection facilities fees are no longer applicable.
Finance Committee
Staff presented the City Development Impact Fee Schedule Annual Adjustment to the Finance Committee at its April 8, 202 5, meeting. The Finance Com mittee unanimously approved recommending to the City Council approval of a resolution adjusting the City Development Impact Fees by 1.6% effective July 1, 2025.
Outreach
Chamber of Commerce. Staff provided the City Development Impact Fee Schedule Annual Adjustment to the Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce via email on March 18, 2025. The email provided the proposed adjustment along with the anticipated public meetings.
Salinas United Business Association. Staff provided the City Development Impact Fee Schedule Annual Adjustment to the Salinas United Business Association (SUBA) via email on March 18, 2025. The email provided the proposed adjustment along with the anticipated public meetings.
Development Community. Staff provided the City Development Impact Fee Schedule Annual Adjustment to members of the development community including Future Growth Area developers and the Central Coast Builders Association via email on March 18, 2025. The email provided the proposed adjustment along with the anticipated public meetings.
To date, no comments have been received on the proposed annual adjustment to the City Development Impact Fees.
Public Notice
Sixty (60) day public hearing notice for the City Development Impact Fee Annual Adjustment will be published in a local newspaper following City Council Action on April 22, 2025.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Page | 3
Not a Project. City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3).
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Updating Development Impact Fees to match the fluctuating cost of construction is consistent with the Council values of Fiscal Respons ibility, Service and Responsiveness and Council Goals and Strategies of Economic Development, Housing, Infrastructure, and Public Safety by investing in existing facilities and infrastructure, reducing City expenditures to address impacts due to growth, and by providing adequate funding to additional need for policing and emergency medical services due to growth.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
Public Works staff has consulted with other City Departments to develop the recommendations herein, including Administration, Finance, and Legal. Should the City Council approve the recommendation, Public Works will continue to collaborate with these departments, along with Community Development.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Increasing fees proportionate with the ENR construction cost index allows revenues to keep pace with construction cost inflation to minimize or eliminate the impact on the General Fund. In consideration of the possible impacts COVID-19 had on our community, the City Council did not increase Development Impact Fees for the fiscal year 2020-2021.
The table below shows the fee increases that occurred in the last five (5) fiscal years.
Fiscal Year (FY) Fee Increase (%)
2020-2021 0.0%
2021-2022 2.1%
2022-2023 8.0%
2023-2024 4.9%
2024-2025 2.6%

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: APRIL 22, 2025
DEPARTMENT: FINANCE
FROM: ABE PEDROZA, ACTING ASSISTANT FINANCE DIRECTOR
SELINA ANDREWS, FINANCE DIRECTOR
TITLE: FISCAL YEAR 25 -26 CITY-WIDE SCHEDULE OF FEES AND
SERVICE CHARGES
RECOMMENDATION:
A motion to approve a Resolution authorizing adjustments and additions to the City -Wide Schedule of Fees and Service Charges effective July 1, 2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Each year, the City’s fee schedule is reviewed and adjusted by each department, as applicable, to ensure fees and charges keep pace with inflation, providing full recovery of City service costs .
The updated Schedule of Fees and Charges will be effective 60 days after City Council adoption and will begin July 1, 2025.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Article XIII B of the California Constitution and Chapter 11B of the Salinas Municipal Code, fees for governmental services may be charged to recover all costs reasonably borne in providing all regulation, products, or services. Costs reasonably borne are defined in City Code Section 11B-3 as a) all applicable direct costs; b) all applicable indirect costs; c) fixed assets recovery expenses (depreciation); d) general overhead; e) departmental overhead; f) debt service costs; and g) costs for necessary public services.
City Code Section 11B - Fee and Service Charge Revenue
Chapter 11B of the Salinas Municipal Code provides for adjustments to existing City fee/service charge revenue based upon increases provided in the Consumers Price Index (CPI) – All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose areas. Such adjustments are presented to City Council for adoption by resolution.
Study by Willdan Financial Services
In October 2015, City Council adopted an updated Fee Schedule based on a Comprehensive Fee Study prepared by Willdan Financial Services. Willdan analyzed a variety of factors, ultimately Page | 2
quantifying the full cost incurred by the City in providing the respective servi ces. The recommended fee amount was then established to achieve as close to full cost recovery as possible. A number of factors prevented full cost recovery from being attained for certain fees, including mandated fee amounts, industry averages, and full cost recovery amounts that were either exceedingly high and/or varied greatly from the prior established fee. The resulting adopted fee schedule, effective January 1, 2016, is the basis for which the current CPI increase was calculated.
DISCUSSION:
Consumer Price Index
The Consumers Price Index (CPI) – All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose areas increased 2.8% in calendar year 2024. Therefore, staff recommends City fees and service charges be increased 2.8% effective July 1, 2025.
While staff recommends most City fees be increased by 2.8%, some exceptions exist.
Specifically, fifty -two fees are mandated by various regulations, cannot increase, and are identified in the “Notes” column of the attachment. As a result of a joint operations agreement, seventy-four Animal Shelter fees were not increased to align with Monterey County. Department discretion was considered on a case-by-case basis, resulting in eighty-nine fees either remaining unchanged or decreasing and are ide ntified in the “Notes” and “Recommended” columns of the attachment (70 of the 89 are from the Airport section) . Conversely, departments recommended that nine fees be increased at an amount other than the CPI and are identified accordingly. Lastly, twelve new fees are being proposed and are identified in the narrative below and on the attachment.
Finance Committee Recommendations & Outreach
At the April 8, 2025 Finance Committee meeting, committee members unanimously moved to recommend staff’s proposed fee schedule, including a 2.8% increase per the CPI. Staff will ultimately adjust the fee schedule at the rate determine d by City Council, but cannot exceed the established index factor, which in this case, is the CPI.
Consistent with previous years, outre ach to the Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce , SUBA, and the Non-Profit Alliance of Monterey County was conducted. Staff did not receive any notice of objection or issue in regards to the proposed fee schedule for next year.

Staff recommends adding the below seven (7) new fees to the City’s Fee Schedule in FY 2025-26.
1. Site Plan Review – per review (Residential Multi-Family 25+ Units) to address larger projects in FGA. These projects that have 25 or more units take significantly more staff time. On average for all projects with 25 or more units, it takes twice the amount of time it takes for a 10-25 unit project. Original fee cost for w as determined by a time and motion study, proposed fee is set to double the amount of the fee for a 10 -25 unit project. Fee $4,338.50
2. Site Plan Review-per review (Commercial/Industrial Commercial/Industrial 10,000+ s.f.) to address larger projects in FGA. Large commercial/industrial projects in the FGA that are 10,000 s.q. feet or more take significant staff time. These large projects average twice the staff time it takes for commercial/industrial projects up to 9,999 s.q. feet. Original fee cost was deter mined by a time and motion study, proposed fee is set to double the amount of the fee for commercial/ industrial projects up to 9,999 s.q. feet. Fee $5,978.00
3. Miscellaneous Planning Fee (SB330 Application Review ) is the same as the Tentative Map Application fee due to an equivalent level of staff time needed to process the review.
The Tentative Map Application fee was established using a time and motion study.
California Government Code Section 65941.1 enables processing fees for applications. $10,968.25
4. Planning Inspection Fee -per inspection (Residential 25+ Units ) to address larger projects in FGA. Inspections for projects that have 25 or more units take more staff time to ensure compliance with plans and building code. Original fee cost was determined b y a time and motion study. Proposed fee amount follows the same incremental increase of $76.50 that exists between the other tiers, Residential: 1 -9 Units, ADU & JADU and Residential 10-24 Units. Fee $482.50
5. Planning Inspection Fee-per inspection (Commercial/Industrial 10,000+ sq ft) Fee created to address larger projects in FGA. Inspections for projects that are more than 10,000 s.q. feet take more staff time to ensure compliance with plans and building code. Original fee cost was determined by a time and motion study. Proposed fee amount follows the same incremental increase of $76.50 that exists between the other tiers, Commercial/Industrial 0 -4,999 sq ft and Commercial/Industrial 5,000-9,999 sq ft. Fee $482.50
6. Temporary Use of Land Permit (Model Home Complex) for the task of processing model home complexes in FGA. These are currently processed under Temporary Land Use Permit - Uses up to one year ($348.25), but the permit for a Model Home Complex will stay open until 30 days after sale of the last house, which can take up to 10 years. The Miscellaneous Planning Fees - Preliminary Project Review is the same amount of work, so we propose using that fee as our basis. The Preliminary Project Review fee was determined by a time and motion study. $1,045.00
Page | 4
7. Miscellaneous Planning Fees (Landscape Plan Review - Commercial/Industrial) to address larger commercial and industrial landscaping projects. The complexity of a landscape plan review for a commercial or industrial property is much greater than that of a single-family home. Typically, these projects take twice the amount of staff time. We propose doubling the current landscape review fee, which was determined using a time and motion study. $331.50
Staff recommends the below two (2) fees are increased at an amount that different from the CPI.
1. Conditional Use Permit (CUP-Plumbing in Accessory Structure-Administrative) Fee was set intentionally low to allow accessory plumbing for farm workers, but it is now primarily being used as a workaround for ADUs. It takes as much staff time as the CUP - Minor Exception - Administrative fee, which was determined by a time and motion study. Recommend increasing the fee to $979.75
2. Miscellaneous Planning Fee (CEQA -Negative Declaration/ Mitigated Negative Declaration) Fee is increased to align with the fees charged by the City of Seaside ($5,544) and City of Monterey ($5,000 deposit + an y additional consulting fees). The average cost for consultant and staff time for these fees is more than triple what we are currently charging. To align the fee to recover the cost of providing the service , staff recommends a $5,000 fee for internal work or the total of all consulting costs plus 20% for consultant and project management. The cost + 20% fee will allow staff to enter a funding agreement with the developers to cover both the consulting costs and staff time for complex projects. Fee $5,000.00 or cost + 20%
Public Works
Recommendation includes a 2.8% CPI increase for most fees.
The below six (6) fees are not being recommended for an increase at this time as staff determined the existing amount was sufficient to cover the cost of providing the service.

2. Fines and Citations (permit violations)
3. Fines and Citations (vending without permit)

5. Fines and Citations (work without permit)

1000.30.3462-56.3160 NEW Temporary Use of Land Permit Model Home Complex $ 1,045.00 Proposed new fee for the task of processing model home
complexes in FGA. These are currently processed under
Temporary Land Use Permit - Uses up to one year ($348.25), but the permit for a Model Home Complex will stay open until 30 days after sale of the last house, which can take up to 10 years. The Miscellaneous Planning Fees - Preliminary Project Review is the same amount of work, so we propose using that fee as our basis. The Preliminary Project Review fee was determined by a time and motion study.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: APRIL 22, 2025
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SELINA ANDREWS, FINANCE DIRECTOR
BY: ADRIANA ROBLES, CITY ENGINEER
TITLE: SANITARY SEWER RATE INCREASE
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution accepting the Sewer Rate Study, approving the Sewer Rate Schedule, and directing staff to distribute Proposition 218 Public Hearing Notice s for proposed sanitary sewer rate increases with the public hearing to be held on June 17, 2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Wallace Group was retained by the City of Salinas to develop a sanitary sewer rate study (“Study”) for the wastewater enterprise program. The Study develop ed a ten-year financial plan to help ensure that the wastewater enterprise fund will meet financial obligations for ongoing operation s and maintenance, debt service, and capital improvements while maintaining prudent financial reserves. Salinas’ wastewater program is a self-supporting enterprise of the City that includes the sanitary sewer system, staff, equipmen t, and supplies . Rate pay er fees fund ongoing costs of operations, maintenance, administration, regulatory compliance, debt service, capital improvements and maintenance of prudent financial reserves. The Study anticipates an increase to $16.35 with a 2% annual escalation rate to meet the programmed capital improvement projects and maintenance costs.
Proposition 218 requires a public hearing to be held for the proposed rate increase. The public hearing is proposed to be scheduled for the June 17, 2025, City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Salinas owns and operates a municipal sanitary sewer system (“sewer system”) that services residents and businesses within its service area. The sanitary sewer system has a service area of approximately 12,430 acres, with over 280 miles of gravity sewer mains and eleven (11) lift stations1 that convey sewage flows to the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, operated by Monterey One Water (M1W). M1W collects fees for the treatment of the sanitary sewage and their fees are adjusted annually. M1W fees are separate from the rates collected for the City through M1W. M1W currently collects $50.95 for their wastewater treatment and $5.45 for the City of Salinas’ sanitary sewer rate.
1 Lift Station. In sanitary sewer systems, lift stations pump sewage from lower elevations to higher elevations.
Page | 2
In 2011, a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan was developed and the following year, a rate study was prepared that increased sewer rates to $5.45 per month for residential users or equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). Sewer rates are used by the City of Salinas to provide the service required to maintain the City’s sanitary sewer system (pipes, manholes, lift stations, and equipment). Sewer rates fund the entirety of the wastewater enterprise fund. The wastewater enterprise fund pays for the sanitary sewer system, staff, supplies, electricity and everything needed to keep the sanitary sewer system within the City of Salinas operational. The City’s sanitary sewer rate has not changed since 2012.
Over several years, the wastewater enterprise fund has had a funding shortfall. This has meant that necessary infrastructure repairs and upgrades have not been financially possible, leading to system failures and costly emergency repairs. Investment is required to meet regulatory mandates and to prevent additional untreated sewage discharges.
In February 2021, staff retained Wallace Group to update the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan (Resolution No. 22051). The Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update (SSMP) included document review, data collection, field surveys, comprehensive lift station assessment, in -line sewer flow monitoring, wastewater flow projections, development and calibration of a hydraulic sewer model to identify collection system deficiencies for existing , and future build -out conditions and development of a Sanitary Sewer Capital Improvement Program.
On May 2, 2023, through Resolution No. 22648, City Council adopted the Salinas Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update. The SSMP identified existing hydraulic defi ciencies, operation and maintenance repairs, and lift station upgrades required to keep the existing sanitary sewer system operational. The SSMP estimates sewage flows at 10.46 million gallons per day from the existing sanitary sewer system. Required maint enance repairs and existing hydraulic deficiencies were ranked based on priority. Costs for maintenance repairs and fixing existing hydraulic deficiencies are funded by the City’s rate payer fees. The SSMP estimates an additional 2.33 million gallons per day of sewage flows from the North of Boronda Future Growth Area (FGA) will be added to the existing system at build-out conditions. This will require upsizing the existing system to meet the additional demand. Costs to upsize the sewer system are the developers’ responsibility. Several sanitary sewer mains require both repairs and upsizing to meet the anticipated future conditions.
In these cases, the cost responsibilities are shared between the rate payers and the developers at varying percentages depending on the condition of the sewer system.
On September 24, 2024, City Council approved an amendment to the sanitary sewer impact fee (Resolution No. 23100) . Impact fees are paid by developers to offset the impacts from development to the existing system . A nexus study prepared by Wallace’s consultant, DTA, provided the justification for the adjustment to the impact fee to ensure that developers were covering the full cost of their fair share responsibilities to upsize sanitary sewer mains as identified in SSMP.
On April 23, 2024, an amendment to Wallace Group’s contract was approved by City Council (Resolution No. 22947) allowing for the commencement of a sewer rate study (“Study”). Wallace Group partnered with DTA to evaluate potential rate structures and provide recommendations on how to address funding gaps for sanitary sewer system repairs, upgrades and future needs.
The City’s current sanitary sewer rate of $5.45 per residential user or equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) is intended to cover the City’s annual operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, as well as Page | 3
servicing existing debt obligations , but it does not. The City’s sanitary sewer enterprise fund ’s expected revenue and annual budget is projected to experience a shor tfall of approximately $400,000 for FY 2024-25 and will not meet the required 125% debt service coverage requirement on the existing bonds . In addition, the current budget does not include capital improvements required for system replacements and upgrades. The Study estimates a total of $114 .8 million is required to make the necessary high priority improvements to the sewer system over the next ten years. The Study incorporated the revenue requirements and calculated the new sewer rates in compliance with Proposition 218 requirements. An increase to $16.35 per EDU per month with a 2% annual escalation rate is recommended (See Sewer Study, Attachment 1).
The financial model2, prepared by DTA, looks at the financial needs to keep the system operational (repairs, staffing and equipment) along with capital improvements outlined in the SSMP and debt obligations. Bonding is anticipated during years 2, 5, and 8 of the ten-year study period totaling $79.4 million of bond proceeds to be used along with the estimated $35.3 million of rate fees to cover the required $114.8 million for capital improvement projects.
As indicated at the March 11, 2025, City Council meeting and preceding Finance Committee meeting, the City recently received a credit rating downgrade for its outstanding sanitary sewer system revenue debt. The downgrade was a function of decreasing financial health of the sanitary sewer enterprise fund primarily because of revenue increases no t keeping up with the operating costs of the sewer collection system. Without increased sewer service rates, the City will not be able to fund scheduled repairs, identified capital improvement projects or meet the outstanding bond debt service covenants after FY 2024-25. If this happens, this may result in the bonds being called which may require the City having to pay off the remaining balance of $12,180,000.
Past Actions
On March 11, 2025, the City Council, adhering to the recommendation of the Finance Committee, accepted the findings of the Study and recommended an increase to the sewer rate to $16.35 with a 2% annual escalation rate.
On April 8, 2025, staff presented the draft Study and Rate Schedule to the Finance Committee.
The Finance Committee unanimously recommended approval of the Study and Rate Schedule by the City Council.
Proposition 218
Proposition 218 requires a public hearing to be held for the proposed rate increase. The publ ic hearing is proposed to be scheduled for the June 17, 2025, City Council meeting . This meeting will allow rate payers who oppose the rate increase to submit a “protest vote”. Public hearing notices of the June 17, 2025, meeting will be mailed following authorization from the City Council to proceed with the notice of the rate increases. If less than 50% of the rate payers submit protest ballots, then the proposed sewer rate increases will take effect on July 1, 2025 (See Public Hearing Notice, Attachment 3).

Residential Low Income Sewer Service Assistance Program
Both the Finance Committee and the City Council directed staff to research establishing an assistance program for qualified residents. Attachment 4 describes the program, which is similar to the one provided by Monterey 1 Water. Since this is already an established and familiar program, it makes sense to mirror this program and with City Council direction, staff will bring an assistance program back for City Council consideration.

I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Salinas (the “City”) Wastewater Division of the Public Works Department, hereinafter referred to as the “Sewer Department,” owns and operates a municipal sanitary sewer system made up of over 280 miles of gravity sewer mains, 11 lift stations and hundreds of manholes which collects wastewater generated within the City as well as certain areas outside of the City and transports it to an independent agency, Monterey One Water (“M1W”) for treatment and disposal. The City and M1W impose separate wastewater rates for their services and this study looks only at the City’s own wastewater collectio n charges. M1W, the regionaltreatment system, is a separate governmental entity that sets its own rates which apply to the City and other regional participants including the Cities of Pacific Grove, Del Rey Oaks, Seaside, Sand City, Fort Ord,Marina, Castroville,Monterey, Moss Landing, and some unincorporated areas in northern Monterey County. The regional treatment rates levied by M1W are not a part of this study.
In 2011, a sewer rate study was prepared that increased sewer rates to $5.45 per month for residential users or equivalent dwelling unit (“EDU”). The sewer rate has not changed since 2012. Over a number of years, the sewer enterprise fund, which funds ongoing maintenance of the sewer system has had a funding shortfall. This has meant that necessary infrastructure repairs and upgrades have not been financially possible, leading to system failures and costly emergency repairs. Investment is required to meet S tate mandates and to prevent additional untreated sewage discharges as occurred in April 2022 which led to a Notice of Violation and fine from the Regional Board.
In 2024, DTA was engaged by the City to evaluate potential rate structures and provide recommendations on how best to address funding gaps for sewer infrastructure upgrades and long-term sewer system needs. DTA prepared various sewer rate scenarios based o n the costs provided by City staff for operation and maintenance costs and debt service, plus required capital improvements for improvements needed over the 10-year study period.
The City’s current sewer rate of $5.45 per residential user or EDU is intended to cover the City’s annual operation and maintenance ( “O&M”) costs, as well as servicing existing debt obligations, but currently experiences a shortfall. The City’s sewer enterprise fund’s expected revenue and annual budget is projected to experience a shortfall of approximately $400,000 for FY 2024 -25 and will n ot meet the required 125% debt service coverage requirement on the existing bonds. In addition, the current budget does not include capital improvements required for system replacements and upgrades.
The City has identified key infrastructure costs of approximately $114.8 million (escalated value) of capital improvement projects over a ten-year period to upgrade the system to maintain current levels of service. The study herein incorporates the revenue requirements and calculates new sewer rates in compliance with Proposition 218 requirements. 2 SECTION I

$16.35 $16.68 $17.01 $17.35 $17.70 $18.05 $18.41 $18.78 $19.16 $19.54 Based on the proposed sewer rates presented herein , a single -family customer (i.e., one EDU) would see their monthly sewer rate increase from the current $ 5.45 to $16.35 in the first year (a 200% increase) and increase to $19.54 by the end of the ten-year period. The sewer rate per month for other land use classes will be based on the applicable EDU factor as shown in AppendixD herein. The sewer rates by land use category for the ten-year study period is included in Appendix E herein.
The new sewer rates presented in this study were based on the best information available at the time. Regular updates of the financing and rate projections should be performed as accurate and more complete information becomes available. 3 SECTION II

II INTRODUCTION
The City Sewer Department owns and operates a municipal sanitary sewer systemmade up of over 280 miles of gravity sewer mains, 11 lift stations and hundreds of manholes which collects wastewater generated within the City as well as certain areas outside of the City and transports it to an independent agency, M1W for treatment and disposal. The City and M1W impose separate wastewater rates for their services and this study looks only at the City’s own wastewater collection charges. M1W, the regionaltreatment system, is a separate governmental entity that sets its own rates which apply to the City and other regional participants including the Cities of Pacific Grove, Del Rey Oaks, Seaside, Sand City, Fort Ord, Marina, Castroville, Monterey, Moss Landing, and some unincorporated areas in northern Monterey County. The regional treatment rates levied by M1W are not a part of this study.
The City has engaged DTA to prepare an updated rate study to analyze the current revenue requirements of the Sewer Department and develop a rate structure that will result in sufficient stable revenues to pay for O&M, annual debt service requirements, capital improvements and replacement, as well as fund an operating reserve.
In November 2011, the City approved an updated rate study which increase d sewer rates from $4.46 per EDU per month to $5.45 per EDU per month effective February 1, 2012.
Although the City Council adopted the General Plan in 2002, the 2011 rate study did not incorporate capital improvement projects to address upsizing for future conditions.
The City’s current sewer rate of $5.45 per residential user or equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) is intended to cover the City’s annual O&M costs, as well as servicing existing debt obligations, but is currently experiencing a shortfall. The City’s sewer ente rprise fund’s expected revenue and annual budget is projected to experience a shortfall of approximately $400,000 for FY 2024 -25 and will not meet the required 125% debt service coverage requirement on the existing bonds. In addition, as mentioned above, t he current budget does not include capital improvements required for system replacements and upgrades.
A. Purpose
The purpose of this study is to present an updated sewer rate that is in compliance with Proposition 218 requirements as described further in Section II.B below while fully funding revenue requirements for the sewer system as outlined in Section III below.
All numbers used in this sewer rate study were either a) provided by the City or Sewer Department, ii) assumed and agreed upon with the City or Sewer Department, or iii) calculated by DTA using data provided and/or agreed to by the City or Sewer Department.
B. Proposition 218
Ongoing fees for sewer service are commonly called rates. These sewer rates must be supported by a cost -of-service study, or rate study, showing the revenue requirement will be met through the collection of sewer rates as well as a method of reasonably 4 SECTION II
INTRODUCTION
City of Salinas April 11, 2025
Sewer Rate Study
www.FinanceDTA.com
apportioning the costs of service to the various customer classes. Sewer rates for ongoing sewer service have a direct relationship to land ownership, hence are considered property-related fees subject to the limitations of Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution (“Proposition 218”).
In November 1996, the California voters approved Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act”, which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. Proposition 218 imposes certain requirements relative to theimposition of certain assessments, fees and charges by local agencies, including the following:
Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property related service;
Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed; The amount of fee or cha rge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to that parcel; and
No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question.
The rate structure recommended in this study will meet all of the limitations of Proposition 218 in both revenue requirements and proportionality.
In addition, before a local agency can levy new or increased sewer rates, the following procedures are required pursuant to Proposition 218:
Preparation of a rate justification study, prepared by a qualified individual or firm, and the study must justify the proposed rate increase.
The record owner of each parcel subject to the proposed increase must be provided with a written notice of the proposed increase.As industry practice, DTA will also coordinate with the City to mail such notices to the billing address of the sewer customer.
Notice to the record owner must specify the time, date, and location of the public hearing at which the proposed increased fee will be considered. Such notice will also be sent to the billing address of the sewer customer as mentioned above.
A public hearing shall be conducted, held not less than 45 days after mailing the notice, to consider protests to the proposed increased fee.
The increased fee can be approved if a majority of the property owners do not file written protests against the proposed increase. 5 SECTION II

C. Approach
The methodology used in this study to determine proposed rate structures will follow the guidelines provided in AWWA, Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges, Manual of Water Supply Practices(M1 Manual) as they may apply to sewer collection services .
These guidelines were incorporated in the development of a cost -of-service analysis and a rate model that is used to evaluateSewer Department specific conditions, criteria, and goals.
D. Current Sewer System
The City of Salinas owns and operates a municipal sanitary sewer collection system (“Sewer System”) that services residents and businesses within its service area. The Sewer System has a service area of approximately 12,430 acres, with over 280 miles of gravity sewer mains and 11 lift stations that convey sewage flows to the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, operated by M1W.
E. Sewer Master Plan Update and CIP
On May 2, 2023, through Resolution No. 22648, City Council adopted the Salinas Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update (“SSMP”). The SSMP identified existing hydraulic deficiencies, operation and maintenance repairs, and lift station upgrades required to keep th e existing sanitary sewer system operational. The SSMP estimates sewage flows at 10.46 million gallons per day from the existing sanitary sewer system. Required maintenance repairs and existing hydraulic deficiencies were ranked based on priority. Costs fo r maintenance repairs and to fix existing hydraulic deficiencies are the sole responsibility of the City rate payers.
The SSMP developed a Sanitary Sewer Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) that identified capital improvement projects to address both the existing maintenance repairs and deficiencies and upsizing for future conditions. Capital improvement projects were ranked based on priority. Ranking for existing system capital improvement projects was based on the following criteria to prioritize them: impacts to water bodies, design standards, maintenance requirements, impact to the community and proximity to a monitori ng manholes. For lift stations, the criteria used to prioritize them were:
impacts to water bodies, inspection frequency, pumping capacity deficiency, peak hour emergency response time, bypass requirement, generator requirement, control or electronic update requirement, and impacts to the community. Possible impacts from future development were also analyzed for maintenance and lift station projects. Future capital improvement projects required exclusively to upsize the sewer system to accommodate future development were not ranked in the SSMP as these improvements must be coordinated and timed with development.
As mentioned earlier, the City’s current sewer rate does not fund capital improvements required for system replacements and upgrades. Of the facilities and costs identified in the CIP, the City has identified only the highest priority projects (“High Priority Projects”) 6 SECTION II

that would need to be funded from future rate revenue.
F. Rate Study Organization
In order to fully fund the necessary revenue requirements as identified in the following sections of the rate study, the City’s sewer rates must be increased.
Below is a description of the remaining sections of the rate study:
Section III: Revenue Requirements– This section describes the cost categories that the sewer rate revenue and other revenue sources will need to fund including, operations and maintenance costs (“O&M”), capital expenditures, debt service, and contributions to the operating reserve.
Section IV: Sewer Rate Analysis– This section describes the proposed rates to be charged to sewer customers in the City and the calculations used in determining a sewer rate structure that can fully fund the revenue requirements described in Section III.
Section V : Implementation of Rates– This section includes the proposed updated sewer rates for the various land uses during the ten-year study period.
Section VI : Conclusion– This section includes the overall conclusions. 7 SECTION III

III REVENUE REQUIREMENTS
The Revenue Requirements, or cost categories, that rate revenue and other revenue sources will need to pay for include , o perations and maintenance costs (“O&M”), capital expenditures, debt service, and contributions toan operating reserve. These cost categories are described in greater detail below.
A. Operations and Maintenance
The Sewer Department’s O&M costs include salaries and benefits, supplies and materials, outside services, and other charges. The O&M cost projections use the baseline costs from theCity’s adopted operating budget for fiscal year 24/25, as shown in the section, “Enterprise Operations, 5446 Sanitary Sewer Division.” The City’s costs are escalated by a factor of 7.5% annually as a reasonable estimate of future costs based on direction from the City.
B. Capital Expenditures
As described earlier, the City identified High Priority Projects as shown in Appendix C to be funded by the proposed sewer rate. The total cost of the sewer system capital upgrades assigned to existing development, adjusted for inflation, is equal to approximately $114.8 million. The listing of capital improvement projects are divided into three categories;i) Maintenance and repairs to the existing sewer system; ii) Sewer upsizing costs allocated to existing development; and iii) Lift Stations. Maintenance and repair projects address hydraulic and maintenance deficiencies of the existing sewer system. These improvements were identified as pipelines without the required velocities, with sags or failures, or with blockages that constrain flows. In addition, sewer upsizing projects will correct exis ting capacity deficiencies to upsize pipelines to allow sewers to flow more efficiently. Lift station projects will address upgrades to outdated systems and will provide uniformity and redundancy to the overall system.
These High Priority Projects are described in further detail below:
B.1. Existing Sewer Collection
The SSMP identified thirty -one (31) sewer collection system projects and eleven (11) lift station projects that have hydraulic deficiencies and maintenance concerns under existing conditions. The Wallace Group recommended that these projects be completed over a five to 15 -year period. The City then adjusted the timing of the expenditures to more closely match the City’s capacity to implement the appropriate level of projects on an annual basis. TheCity identified thirteen (13) projects from the list of projects identified in the SSMP that would be expected to be implemented within the next ten years. The total costs for these projects, adjusted for inflation at 3% per annum, is $70 .7 million. See Table C -1 in Appendix C herein for project costs and timeline, adjusted for 3% inflation.
8 SECTION III

B.2. Sewer Upsizing
The SSMP identified nine (9) projects that will need existing sewer lines to be upsized due to existing deficiencies and the need to provide additional capacity for new development. Wallace Group provided allocations of costs to new and existing development based on existing and future flow and pipe sizes. The City then provided updated cost projections and project timing for seven of the nine projects listed in the SSMP. The total projected costs for these projects, adjusted for inflation at 3% per annum, is estimated to be $20.6 million as shown in Table C-2 in Appendix C herein.
B.3 Lift Stations
The City owns and operateseleven (11) sewer lift stationsthroughout the City and also maintains one lift station funded through an existing assessment district. All lift stations are integral with the City’s sewer collection system. The SSMP evaluated each of the lift stations and force mains for hydraulic performance and emergency response times in the event of sanitary sewer overflow conditions. The SSMP provided present value costs for the lift station upgrades recommended by the analysis. The City provided the timing and costs for seven (7) of the eleven lift stations mentioned in the SSMP that are expected to be completed within the next seven (7) years. The total projected costs for these projects, adjusted for inflation at 3% per annum, is estimated to be $23.5 million as shown in Table C-3 in Appendix C herein.
B.4 Total Costs for High Priority Projects
Table 2 below is a summary of the total costsfor the High Priority Projectsas described above, adjusted for inflation, used for setting the updated sewer rates . Table C -4 in Appendix C herein summarizes the total costs by year.
Table 2
Costs for High Priority Projects
Description Cost
Sewer Collection $70.7 million
Sewer Upsizing $20.6 million
Lift Stations $23.5 million
Total $114.8 million
C. Debt Service
Debt service includes the annual principal and interest payments on bonds issued by the City whose proceeds are used to pay for capital improvements to the City-wide sewer system. The debt service for both existing bonds issued and bonds that are 9 SECTION III
RATE REVENUE
City of Salinas April 11, 2025
Sewer Rate Study
www.FinanceDTA.com
proposed to be issued in the future are intended to be paid for from rate revenue.
Existing Debt Service - The existing annual bond debt service to be paid by sewer rates consist of annual principal and interest payments for Wastewater Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2020A. First issued in 2020, the annual debt service on these bonds is indicated in the rate model herein over the next ten (10) years.
Proposed Debt Service – The timing of capital improvements and the acceptable levels of pay -as-you-go financing of such improvements suggest that funding a portion of the capital improvements by debt in the form of revenue bonds would not only reduce the a nnual revenue requirement of the capital facilities program, but also reduce the annual sewer rates required to cover the costs of operations and maintenance, reserves and total debt service as compared to a complete pay-as-you- go alternative.
The timing of issuance and the amounts of the bonds are dependent upon the timing and costs of the capital projects in accordance with the goals of the City, as identified in Section B above.For purposes of this analysis, three separate bond issuances were considered, issued in years 2, 5 and 8 during the ten (10) year study period. Please refer to Appendix B for additional bond assumptions.
D. O&M Reserve Requirements
In year two of this study, it is assumed that $2,000,000 from the net operating income after debt service will be transferred to anewly established operating reserve fund. The City expects to adopt a formal reserve policy following the adoption of this rate study.
10 SECTION IV
SEWER RATE ANALYSIS
City of Salinas April 11, 2025
Sewer Rate Study
www.FinanceDTA.com
IV SEWER RATE ANALYSIS
A. Current Rate Structure
The City currently funds the majority of its operational and capital improvement costs through sewer rate revenue. For reference, M1W is the sewer treatment provider in northern Monterey County. M1W is responsible for the treatment of wastewater while the City is responsible for collecting and transporting wastewater toM1W. This shared responsibility is reflected on the monthly bill to property owners.
The City’s current sewer rates included on the monthly bills sent byM1W are charged on a per EDU basis. The current Fiscal Year 24/25 sewer rate is equal to $5.45 per EDU per month. ForFiscal Year 24/25, the activities of which consisted of routine operation and maintenance as well as debt service payments on existing bonds , the revenues were less than the expenditures. The deficit in expenses versus revenues demonstrates that the current rates are not sufficient to maintain the existing system.
B. Proposed Rate Struct ure
The proposed rate structure utilizes both pay -as-you-go rate collections as well as bond issuances to fund the annual O&M costs and a minimum level of capital facilities.
Projections under this rate structure suggest that the City will havesufficient reserves to continue meeting debt service and capital needs by the end of FY 2034-35. Please see below for a summary of the findings:
Year 1 Monthly Rate per EDU (2025) - $16.35
Sewer Rate escalates annually by 2%
Estimated Year 10 Capital Replacement Fund Balance: $7.5 million Estimated Total Facilities Funded through Bonds and Pay-Go: $114.8 million C. Equivalent Dwelling Units
As mentioned earlier, this study uses an EDU methodology to allocate costs to the various land uses for the City’s billing purposes. The flow per land use unit is divided by the flow per single family land use unit to determine the flow relative to a singl e family unit (EDU per Billing Unit). Note that the flow per land use unit factors are averages provided by M1W. The number of customer connections and the flow per connection for each land use as of July 2024 was provided to the City by M1W. The total City-wide EDUs were then determined by multiplying the EDU per Billing Unit by the number of connections for that land use category. Since the City’s sewer infrastructure consists of City-wide collection and not treatment, the EDUs are based only on flow. The tabulation for total City-wide EDUs (60,558) is shown in AppendixD.
For the purposes of projecting growth in EDUs over the ten-year study period, a 1% 11 SECTION IV
SEWER RATE ANALYSIS

per year growth factor is assumed.
D. Model Considerations
It is evident that there are many combinations of assumptions that affect the determination of a rate structure calculation that can potentially meet the revenue requirements on an annual basis. Factors including inflation, ann ual rate escalations, debt service and customer growth play into the determination of such a rate structure.
12 SECTION V
IMPLEMENTATION OF RATES

V IMPLEMENTATION OF RATES
The proposed sewer rates for the ten-year period are shown in Table 3 below. The full rate model is included in Appendix A herein. Rates for all land uses will see a 200% increase in year 1 and an annual increase of 2% each year thereafter during the ten (10) year study period. The annual increase is necessary in order to fully fund all revenue requirements.The sewer rates by land use category for the ten -year study period is included in Appendix E herein.

CONCLUSION
City of Salinas April 11, 2025

www.FinanceDTA.com
VI CONCLUSION
The final sewer rates contained in this study are a result of an extensive public process with input received from City staff and the City Council and are based on the best information available at the time. Regular review and evaluation of the financing and rate projections should be performed as accurate and more complete information becomes available. The rates should be reviewed annually to take into account the results of local project construction bids, actual O&M and capital facilities costs, actual financing received for the projects, and adjustment to the rates may be considered, as necessary.
The new sewer rates, as shown in Table 3 herein, are designed to produce revenues adequate to fund operations and maintenance , new capital improvement projects, debt service and an operating reserve over a ten-year period.
Based on the new sewer rates presented herein, a single-family customer would see their monthly sewer rate increase from the current $ 5.45 to $ 16.35 in the first year ( a 200% increase), and increase to $19.54 by the end of the ten-year period.
It is strongly suggested that in Year 5 (FY 2029 -30), the City review their annual operation and maintenance costs, capital facilities costs and timing, demographics information, as well as the various modelling assumptions and update the sewer rates, if needed.

Sewer Rate Study
RATE MODEL
ASSUMPTIONS
The rate model included in Appendix A herein was designed to allow for sufficient sewer rate revenues to pay for operations and maintenance, annual debt service requirements, capital improvements and replacement, as well as fund an operating reserve . The assumptions used in this model include the following:
Key assumptions related to the rate model are listed below:
The number of customers, and the corresponding EDUs, is provided byM1W.
Positive net operating income after debt service (i.e., net operating income is rate revenue less O&M and debt service)
O&M and capital improvement projects and costs were provided by the City.
Fund $2 million O&M reserve fund
Positive net operating income after debt service in any given year will be transferred to the Capital Replacement Fund
The beginning Capital Replacement Fund balance is $0 (i.e., Capital Replacement Fund consists of net operating income deposited to fund plus interest earnings plus bond proceeds less costs for capital facilities) Capital Replacement Fund expenditures over 10 years will be in accordance with the timeline provided by City
Key assumptions related to inflation and rate escalation are listed below:
7.5% Estimated Annual O&M Cost Inflation
3.0% Estimated Annual Capital Facilities Cost Inflation
2.0% Estimated Annual Rate Escalation
2.0% Estimated Investment Return on Reserve Balances
1.0% Annual Development Growth: The City and Wallace Group expects a modest increase in the number of EDUs over the next decade as the population grows.
Key assumptions related to the bonds are listed below:
Bonds to be issued in Years 2, 5, and 8
Bond interest rate is equal to 5.00%
Construction proceeds equal to 90% of the bond issue amount Bond Term of 30 years
Minimum 125% debt service coverage
Please note that allnumbers used in this sewer rate study were either i) provided by the City or their consultants, ii) assumed and agreed upon with the City, or iii) calculated by DTA using data provided and/or agreed to by the City or their consultants.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the March 25, 2025, Salinas City Council Meeting, the City Council directed staff to provide a report to the City Council on the Residential Rental Registration , Rent Stabilization , Tenant Protection and Just Cause Eviction, and Tenant Anti-Harassment ordinances (the “Ordinances”).
This report provides a summary of each ordinance , outlines implementation actions, identifies implementation challenges and feedback, provides program data to date, and presents alternatives for the City Council’s consideration.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2023, t he City Council adopted a n ordinance establishing a Residential Rental Registration Program and in September 2024, adopted three ordinances establishing a Rent Stabilization Program , including a Rent Stabilization ordinance, a Tenant Protection and Just Cause Eviction ordinance, and a Tenant Anti-Harassment ordinance.

Ordinance Summaries
The Residential Rental Registration Ordinance requires all landlords to register their residential rental properties with the City. The registration process aids in maintaining accurate records of rental units and facilitates effective communication between the City of Salinas and property owners. Landlords are to provide essential information about their properties and pay an ann ual registration fee.
Link: Ordinance No. 2663 | Resolution No. 23170
To address housing affordability, the Rent Stabilization Ordinance limits the amount and frequency of rent inc rease for applicable rental units. It ensures that tenants are protected from excessive rent hikes while allowing landlords to receive fair return on their investments. The ordinance outlines specific guidelines for permissible rent adjustments and establi shes a framework for resolving disputes.
Link: Ordinance No. 2681 | Resolution No. 23169
The Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection Ordinance establishes criteria for lawful evictions, ensuring tenants are not unjustly displaced. It requires landlords to provide a valid reason, or "just cause," for terminating a tenancy, such as non -payment of rent or violation of lease terms.
Additionally, the ordinance mandates relocation assistance for tenants facing no -fault evictions, offering further security and support.
Link: Ordinance No. 2682
The Tenant Anti -Harassment Protections Ordinance prohibits landlords from engaging in behaviors that harass or intimidate tenants. It defines specific actions considered as harass ment, such as interrupting essential services, failing to perform necessary repairs, or attempting to coerce tenants into vacating their units. The ordinance provides penalties for non -compliance, thereby promoting a respectful and safe living environment for all residents.
Link: Ordinance No. 2683
Program Establishment
Implementation of the Residential Rental Registration Program and Rent Stabilization Program (collectively, “ Program”) require d City Council action on November 19, 2024, to establish Program registration fees and FY 24 -25 budget , a work force allocation modification to hire additional administrative staff, and authorization of a loan transfer from the General Fund in the amount of $205,203 to cover Program start -up costs prior to collecting sufficient Program fee revenue to cover Program expenses (Resolution No. 23171).
The approved FY 24-25 Program budget is $655,250 and includes the expenditures broken down below.
Salaries and Benefits $142,250
Software $200,000
Supportive Services $300,000 (Hearing Officer, Education/Outreach) Indirect Costs/Overhead $ 13,000
$655,250

The approved Workforce Allocation Modification authorized two new limited term positions, which were subsequently hired to support Program implementation. Current Program staffing is provided below.
0.2 FTE Planning Manager
1.0 FTE Community Development Analyst (Limited Term)
1.0 FTE Admin Analyst – Limited Term (November 2024)
1.0 FTE Admin Aide - Limited Term (December 2024)
3.2 FTE
The City Council also approved Resolutions adopting the Program Fees listed below.
Residential Rental Registration: $ 45.00 per unit (Resolution No. 23169) Rent Stabilization Units: $170.00 per unit (Resolution No. 23170)
Residential rental units that are subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance pay a registration fee of $170.00 per unit while non-rent stabilized units are subject to the Residential Rental Registration ordinance and pay a fee of $45.00 per unit. Rent s tabilized units are not charged the rental registration fee of $45.00 per unit on top of the $170.00 fee.
A landlord’s failure to pay the annual Residential Rental Registration and Rent Stabilization Fees as required by the Ordinances triggers a series of enforcement actions by the City. First, the City will issue a delinquency notice, providing the landlord with 45 calendar days to pay the amount due. If payment is not received within that timeframe, the City will assess a late penalty of 10% of the applicable registration fee. For every additional 45-day period that the fees remain unpaid, an additional 10% penalty will be assessed. If the fees remain unpaid 180 calendar days after the issuance of the original delinquency notice, the landlord will be subject to a citation.
Based on a conservative projection of a thirty percent (30%) fee collection rate, an estimated amount of $205,203 was appropriated from the General Fund in FY 24 -25 in the form of a loan transfer to cover Program start -up costs inc luding contracting for Program portal and data base development, hiring administrative staff, developing education and marketing materials, and providing Program supportive services. It was also established that s hould the actual Program revenue collection rates exceed Program costs, the General Fund loan transfer will be repaid.
Attachment 1: Staff Analysis of Program Revenue, Cost and Cost Recovery includes estimated maximum revenue, program cost and cost recovery analysis based on available information at that time that was used to establish the FY 24-25 Program budget.
Program Implementation
In November and December 2024 , staff implementation priorities included selecting a qualified vendor to provide an online platform for managing the Program and the development of Program procedures and noticing forms required by the Ordinances. In November 2024, Tolemi was selected as the online platform vendor because of its ability to launch the platform by the Program effective date of January 1, 2025, an d the software’s capability to search and identify potential rental properties subject to the ordinances within Salinas using different criteria. (Resolution No.

23163) Staff worked diligently with Tolemi to develop and test the online platform, which was launched by the Program start date of January 1, 2025.
A Rental Registration and Rent Stabilization Program web page was developed which summarized the four (4) Ordinances and their requirements and provided forms, definitions, Frequently Asked Questions, and Tenant and Landlord Resources. The web page included the requir ed notices to Tenants that are to be given on or before the beginning of tenancy and posted in common areas in both English and Spanish. Landlord and Tenant Petitions forms were created in English and Spanish. Landlord resources also included an Annual Allowable Rent increase tool with a step- by-step user guide. Program procedures and notices were developed in coordination with the City Attorney.
Attachment 2 to this report provides a chronology of outreach and support provided to facilitate Program registration and compliance. Program staff had a dedicated phone line and email address and established office hours, with the option of scheduling an in-person appointment during non- office hours. There was a noticeable increase in questions and need for registration support after issuing a Notice of Delinquency dated February 12, 2025 , to the 5,374 of rental properties identified by Tolemi’s BuildingBlocks data. The Notice was se nt to properties that had not been registered by the 30-day deadline of January 31, 2025. In response to this increase, staff provided additional evening office hours on February 20 and 27, 2025 from 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the Permit Center (65 W. Alisal Street) . As of April 14, 2025 , staff has fielded 7,086 phone calls, responded to 833 emails, and served 532 individuals through in-person appointments.
Program Implementation Data. The original estimate of 22,000 rental units within the city was based on census data. According to Tolemi’s Building Blocks data, there are 8,202 suspected rental properties with a total of 21,779 units in the City of Salinas. As of April 14, 2025, 3,975 properties including 10,963 units have been fully registered. Of the units registered, 7,317 are subject to the Rent Stabil ization Ordinance and 3,646 are not rent -stabilized. This represents approximately
48.46% of suspected rental properties and 50.33% of suspected rental units. Additionally, 432 registrations are currently pending payment and four (4) are incomplete. If t hese pending registrations are completed, the registration compliance rate of suspected rental properties would increase to approximately 53.73%. See Attachment 3, Program Implementation Data for mor e details. Generally smaller property owners, those ownin g fewer than 10 units, have been more proactive in registering their properties early. Larger property management firms and landlords have taken longer to complete the process, largely due to the volume of properties requiring registration and the need to coordinate bulk uploads with Tolemi.
Landlord and Tenant Petitions . Landlords who wish to request a rent increase beyond the allowable percentage may file a petition for a fair return. Similarly, Landlords who wish to pass on costs associated with capita l improvements made to a rental unit may file a petition to pass those costs on to the tenant through the rent . In either case, landlords are required to provide documentation supporting their claims, including proof of capital improvement expenses and/or increased operating costs.
Tenants may file a Rent Reduction Petition to ensure compliance with the Rent Stabilization Ordinance. This may include issues such as a reduction in housing services, failure to maintain the Page | 5
premises in a habitable condition, o r a rent increase that violates the provisions of the Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
Once the petition has been submitted through the Tolemi software and reviewed by City staff it is reviewed by a hearing officer retained by the City who will issue a decision on the petition .
Currently, a total of six (6) petitions have been filed, consisting of five (5) landlord petitions and one (1) tenant petition.
Challenges and Feedback
This section outlines Program implementation challenges and feedback.
Interpretation of Ordinance Requirements. One of the most persistent issues has been confusion interpreting the Ordinances. This has led to frequent inquiries and legal clarification requests, particularly around specific forms and compliance scenarios.
One example is as follows: On January 2, 2025, Program staff received an email from a landlord questioning the information required for registration. By January 3, 2025, staff resolved the issue in the Tolemi’s platform (Slate) and clarified the expectations. The Rental Registration Ordinance currently requires landlords or property managers to provide: (1) the name, mailing address, phone number, and email of the landlord; (2) the street address and/or APN of each rental unit; (3) the number of b edrooms, bathrooms, and square footage; (4) the business license number, if applicable; and (5) the property manager’s contact information, if applicable. Optional fields include tenant information, monthly rent amounts , utility details, occupancy status, and subsidy information.
Registration Process and Platform. The Slate platform has been instrumental in implementing the City’s rental registration process, offering bilingual functionality in English and Spanish.
However, both staff and landlords encountered challenges with the system. Many landlords, particularly those unfamiliar with digital platforms, have struggled to navigate login steps, locate registration tasks, and complete payments. Even those attempting to pay by check have reported confusion when tasks remained marked incomplete, prompting additional support requests. These issues have required significant staff intervention and coordination with Tolemi to manually resolve errors or reopen workflows.
Administrative limitations in the platform, such as restricted editing capabilities once a task is submitted, have also impacted efficiency. Bulk registration for larger property management companies has taken longer to process due to the required backend upload by Tolemi staff of submitted spreadsheets listing indiv idual units . Despite these hurdles, the platform remains a valuable tool, and staff continue working closely with Tolemi to improve functionality, streamline processes, and enhance user guidance for smoother future registration cycles.
Implementation Feedback. Below is a summary of frequent concerns received from landlords.

Rental Registration & Rent Stabilization Ordinances
Registration Fees: Many landlords have expressed concern regarding the amount of the new Rent Stabilization Program fees of $170 per unit for rent-stabilized units, especially for larger properties with 100 plus units. There was also concern raised regarding the new flat fee structure established for the Rent Registration Program . The shift to a flat fee raised the cost per unit to ensure coverage of Rental Registration program costs . In FY 23/24, Residential Registration Program fees were determined by the number of units on each parcel owned by the registrant. The fee structure was as follows:
Rent Increase Limits: Several landlords have noted that the 2.75% or 75% of CPI cap on rent- stabilized units is too low to maintain a fair return on investment, particularly considering rising property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. In addition, the current rent increase cap of 2.75% is lower than that used in comparable jurisd ictions and does not account for rising property management and maintenance costs.
CPI Timing Issues: Landlords have pointed out that calculating allowable rent increases based on the month of the last rent increase can create compliance issues as CPI data is not released in time to meet California’s 60 -day notice requirement for rent increases. There is growing feedback suggesting that the allowable rent increase should be based on an annual CPI percentage instead of a month-to-month approach.
Sub met ers: Large-volume property managers sought direction as to how to modify their complexes to comply with the "individually and separately metered" utilities requirement in the Rent Stabilization Ordinance, and citing the cost and time required to sub -meter rental properties.
Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protections Ordinance
Right-to Return / Withdrawal of Rental Unit : A major concern raised by landlords is the five-year right -to-return requirement under the Ellis Act provision of the Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection Ordinance . If a rental unit is withdrawn from the rental market and later re-rented within five years, the ordinance mandates it be offered first to the displaced tenant. Small -scale landlords fin d this timeframe burdensome, especially when units are temporarily withdrawn for renovations or other personal reasons. Many have requested reducing the period to better align with other cities and ease the burden of compliance.
Relocation Assistance. Many landlords have voiced their concerns about the financial burden of having to pay tenants a relocation payment when terminating tenancies for reasons such as renovations or owner move -ins. While these policies aim to protect renters in competitive markets, many landlords, especially small property owners, are struggling with

the financial burden of covering the three months’ required rent payment particularly when combined with rising property taxes, insurance premiums, and maintenance costs.
