The Plans indicate that the tile field level (base of truncated dome) is flush to adjacent surfaces to permit proper water drainage and eliminate tripping hazards between adjacent finishes. The tolerance for elevation differences between tile and adjacent surface is 1/16”.

Immediately after tile placement, the tile elevation is to be checked to adjacent concrete. The tile elevation and slope should be set consistent with the Plans to permit water drainage to curb as the design dictates.

While concrete is workable a steel trowel shall be used to trowel the concrete around the tile perimeter to the field level of the tile.

During and after the tile installation and the concrete curing stage, it is imperative that there is no walking, leaning or external force placed on the tile to rock the tile, causing a void between the underside of the tile and concrete.

Following the curing of the concrete, the protective plastic wrap shall be removed from the tile face by cutting the plastic with a sharp knife tight to the concrete/tile interface. If concrete bleeding occurs, a wire brush shall clean the residue without damage to the tile surface.

Remember... C I T Y O F SALINAS
As a Resident or Business Operator
• What we do on land affects the
quality of water we drink and use in
so many ways.
• Many small sources of pollution
add up to cause big water quality
problems.
• Pressure washing or hosing
down sidewalks or driveways
contribute to water pollution.

Mop, sweep or use other dry methods
to clean pavement or grounds around
your home or business.
• Excessive runoff from landscape irrigation can result in water pollution by carrying fertilizers,
pesticides or silt offsite to local water
ways. Regularly inspect your irrigation
system to prevent excessive runoff.
• Trash and Debris dumped or left to
accumulate on residential or business
grounds can wind up local waterways.

Dispose of trash properly. Keep areas
clean and free of trash and debris.
• Natural things such as soil, leaves,
grass clippings, and pet waste can
cause water pollution.
• Waste dumped into storm
sewers goes into creeks and
waterways without treatment.
• Automobiles and other vehicles
cause water pollution as well as air
pollution
Everyone can make a difference!

What is an
Illicit Dischar g e?
An illicit discharge is defined as
“any discharge into a municipal storm
sewer system that is not composed entirely of stormwater”. Some of the pollutants that fall into this broad category are:
• Car wash wastewater
• Gas and motor oil
• Grass clippings
• Household cleansers
• Paints
• Pesticides
• Pet waste
• Solvents
• Weed killer
Sometimes these pollutants are
carried through the storm drainage system
by rain, wind, or improper disposal into
Salinas Waterways. This can result in
serious health and water quality problems.

In addition, wildlife and the overall
appearance of the creek or waterway is
adversely affected by illicit discharges.

Six Easy Ways That
You Can Keep Illicit
Discharges Out of Our
Local Creeks
There are simple steps that we can take
to solve the problems that our local waterways
face. It is up to YOU, the homeowner and business owners who call Salinas home, to clean it up and to help keep it clean!

1. Used oil, antifreeze, and batteries can
be recycled. Clean up any spills immediately—kitty litter or sawdust will absorb the spill. Be sure to sweep these up as well.

2. Wash your car on the grass so that water,
detergent, and dirt will be filtered by the
soil. Better yet, take your car to a commercial car wash, where the dirty water is sent to the wastewater treatment plant.

3. Empty bottles of household cleansers, pesticides, and weed killer should be disposed of
according to label directions.

4. Grass clippings in the street should be
swept up after each mowing. Grass clippings left in the street are being washed down into the
storm sewers and end up in
the local waterways where
they have the potential to
cause algae blooms.

5. Many household products, including
paints, paint thinners, and solvents
can be taken free of charge to Salinas
Valley Solid Waste Authority, Household
Hazardous Waste drop-off site at 128
Sun St. Salinas, CA 93901, (831) 775-
3000. Paint brushes used with water
based paint can
be rinsed in the sink.

If you have a small
amount of left-over
paint in a can, stuff it
loosely with newspaper, let the paint
dry out completely and put it in the
trash.

6. When walking your pet use a bag or use
a scooper to clean up your pet’s
waste. In order to keep animal waste
from contaminating our community,
anyone who walks a pet should properly
dispose of waste by picking it up, wrapping it, and either placing it into the trash or flushing it UNWRAPPED!
Construction
Sediment from excavation and other
construction projects is the most common
pollutant washed from work sites.

Sediment entering the waterways through
storm drains harms aquatic life and
disrupts the food chain upon which both
fish and people depend.

Erosion Control General Practices
• Keep all construction debris away
from the street, gutter and storm
drain. Look for and clean up material
that may have traveled away from
your property.
• Keep materials out of the rain by
storing them indoors or outdoors with
a secure roof or plastic sheeting.
• Schedule grading and excavation
projects for dry weather.
• Cover excavated material and

Water Pollution Prevention
It’s Up to Us
Only “rain” is allowed in our storm drain
system. Rain, industrial and household
water mixed with urban pollutants creates
stormwater pollution. The pollutants
include:

Urban runoff pollution (oil and other
automotive fluids, paint and construction
debris, yard and pet wastes, pesticides
and litter). • Flows through the storm drain to the
Salinas River and the Reclamation
Ditch that takes water and debris
straight from Salinas streets to the
Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary.
•Contaminates our rivers and ditches,
harms aquatic life and increases the
risk of flooding by clogging gutters
and catch basins.
• Oil and grease, for example, clog fish
gills and block oxygen from entering
the water. If oxygen levels in the
water become too low, aquatic
animals may be harmed and/or die.

Household Hazardous Waste Disposal
• Household toxics—such as common
household cleaners, paint products
and motor oil—can pollute our rivers
and poison the groundwater if not
disposed of as hazardous waste.
• Take your household chemicals and
toxics to the local Household
Hazardous Waste Facility.

Concrete & Masonry
Fresh concrete and mortar application
materials can wash down or blow into the
street, gutter or storm drain.
• Do not mix up more fresh concrete or
cement than you will use.
• Store bags of cement and plaster
under cover. Protect these materials
from rainfall, runoff and wind, away
from gutters and storm drains.
• Never dispose of cement washout or
concrete dust onto driveways, streets,
gutters or storm drains.

Painting
Paints and solvents contain chemicals that
are harmful to aquatic life. Toxic
chemicals can come from liquid or solid
products or from cleaning residues on
rags. It is especially important to prevent
these chemicals from entering storm
drains.

Paint Cleanup
• Never clean brushes or rinse paint
containers into a street, gutter or
storm drain.
• For oil-based paints, paint out brushes
to the extent possible. Clean with
thinner and then filter and reuse
thinner.
• For water-based paints, paint out
brushes to the extent possible, then
rinse in the sink.
• When thoroughly dry, used brushes,
empty paint cans (lids off), rags and
drop cloths may be disposed of as
trash.

Paint Removal
• Chemical paint stripping residue,
including saturated rags, is a
hazardous waste and should be taken
to a household hazardous waste
collection event.
• Chips and dust from marine paints or paints containing lead or tributyl tin are also hazardous wastes. Sweep
them up and save them for a
hazardous waste collection event.

Paint Recycling
• Reuse leftover paint for touch-ups or
recycle it at a local household
hazardous waste collection event. Landscaping & Gardening • Intensive gardening and landscaping
increase the likelihood that garden
chemicals and soil will wash into
storm drains. Pesticides and
herbicides not only kill garden
invaders, they also harm insects,
poison fish and contaminate ground
and river water.
• Use organic or non-toxic fertilizers
and pesticides. Do not fertilize or use
gutters or storm drains.
• Store pesticides, fertilizers and
chemicals in a covered area to
prevent runoff.
• Do not blow, sweep, hose or rake
leaves into the street, gutter or storm
drain.
•Place clippings and pruning waste in
approved containers for pick up.
• Conserve water by using drip
irrigation, soaker hoses or micro-spray
systems.

JONATHAN HERNANDEZ, JUNIOR ENGINEER
TITLE: 2025 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY FOR SPEED
LIMITS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a Resolution establishing speed limits as recommended by the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits Technical Report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In California, an Engineering and Traffic Survey (“E&TS”) is the tool used to establish a speed limit, surveys are updated every 5-7 years and may be extended up to 14 years. Normally the speed limit is set at the closest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed calculated through the E&TS, but a single 5 mph reduction is permitted based on roadway conditions and constraints.

Speed limits set further below this practice create a “speed trap” that results in the removal of the ability for law enforcement to enforce the roadway with radar per the California Vehicle Code (CVC 40802). This practice changed in July 2024 based on California Assembly Bill – Traffic Safety (AB 43) allowing speed limits establishment to also consider “vulnerable roadway users” and “safety corridors”.

There are nineteen (19) speed surveys that are set to expire on the second half of 2025 and first half of 2026. This report summarizes the proposed E&TS that staff recommends City Council approve a Resolution, adopting the establishment of speed limits as recommended by the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits Technical Report.

BACKGROUND:

The routine analysis and establishment of speed limits on roadways ensures compliance with the Uniform Vehicle Code (“UVC”) established by the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances.

Engineering & Traffic Survey (Speed Survey) Process
In California the use of Speed Surveys is defined by the California Vehicle Code (“CVC”) and the methodology process defined by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (“MUTCD”).

Speed Surveys are currently established using the 85th percentile method defined within the MUTCD and involves taking an indiscriminate sample data set during normal traffic conditions to Page | 2
calculate the 85th percentile speed of the roadway and then setting the speed limit to the closest 5- mph increment of the calculated 85th percentile speed. A further 5 mph reduction is permitted based on roadway conditions and constraints. The CVC further clarifies that if a valid speed survey is not available or if a speed limit is set below that practice that a speed trap is established (CVC 40802) limiting the use of radar enforcement on that roadway segment.

For example, a roadway segment with a measured 85th percentile speed of 37 mph would be rounded down to have a recommended speed limit of 35 mph. A 5-mph reduction to 30 mph is permitted based on geometric constraints such as horizontal or vertical curves that limit roadway visibility or non-visible constraints such as the roadway serving as a suggested route to school resulting on the roadway being a portion of an identified bicycle network resulting in a higherthan-normal pedestrian or bicycle activity. If this same roadway segment were signed at 25 mph it would be considered a “speed trap” and radar enforcement not permitted.

California Assembly Bill 43 - Traffic Safety (AB 43) signed into law by Governor Newsom on October 8, 2021, removes the current speed trap limitation by allowing local agencies to set speed limits based on policy direction. If a local agency, after completing an E&TS finds that the speed limit is still more than reasonable or safe, the local agency is allowed to further reduce the speed limit by 5 mph if the portion of the roadway has been designated as a safety corridor or if it is adjacent to a land or facility that generates a high concentration of bicyclists and pedestrians, especially those from vulnerable groups such as children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused. A safety corridor is defined by the MUTCD as a roadway segment with an overall roadway network where the highest number of serious injury and fatality crashes occur and as the portion of the highway where one or more of any of the generations are present within 1320 feet (1/4 mile).

Salinas Engineering & Traffic Surveys
After conducting speed surveys, staff recommends retention of the current speed limit for seventeen (17) segments, application of AB 43 to one segment, and reduction of the current speed limit for two segments.

Staff measured the 85th percentile speed on Linwood Drive at 34 mph. Following the standard speed survey procedure, a rounding to the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th percentile speed and a 5-mph reduction would result in a speed limit of 30 mph. Given that Linwood Drive is adjacent to El Gabilan Elementary School with a high density of children, an additional 5-mph reduction is recommended in accordance with AB 43. See Table 1: 2025 Engineering & Traffic Survey (Speed Survey) Study Findings.

Los Palos Drive San Miguel Avenue to Abbott Street 25 25 - East Rossi Street* North Main Street to Sherwood Drive 25 25 - Blue highlighted are segments where speed limit reductions are proposed. * Existing speed traps.

Why not keep the existing speed limit signs arbitrarily low to slow the speed of traffic? Under California law, arbitrarily posting slower speed limit signs is not permitted and results in speed traps that limit the use of radar enforcement by law enforcement which in turn may result in higher vehicle speeds. Following implementation of AB 43, allows for further speed reductions following additional study to determine if vulnerable roadway users may benefit from the establishment of safety corridors by the City Council.

Traffic and Transportation Commission
The recommendation for the establishment of the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits was presented to the Traffic and Transportation Commission at its July 10, 2025, meeting.

The Commission voted (7-0) to recommend City Council approve a Resolution to establish the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits.

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 subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The establishment of legitimate speed limits support the City Council's goal of “Public Safety”.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Public Works Department surveys, recommends, and monitors posted speed limits.

Established speed zones allow the Salinas Police Department to enforce posted speed limits. Public Works provides the Police Department and the Traffic Court with updates and changes to the established speed limits for proper enforcement.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The City must replace existing speed limit signage on two (2) changing roadway segments.

Additionally, some modifications to existing speed limit signs will need to be made. The estimated labor and material cost to replace, install, and relocate signs is approximately $8,500. Sufficient funding is available and appropriated in CIP 9162.

INTRODUCTION:

The 2025 Engineering and Traffic Surveys (E&TS) in the City of Salinas fulfills California Vehicle Code (CVC) Sections 22357 and 22358, which require local agencies to follow certain procedures established by the State of California. The E&TS are intended to serve as the basis for establishing and enforcing the speed limits for specific streets in the City. The work herein by the City Traffic and Transportation Engineering Division staff, in accordance with the California CVC Section 40802, reviews the established speed limit sections to determine whether changes in existing conditions have occurred which may require adjusting the posted speed limit.

Engineering and Traffic Surveys for speed limits are regularly conducted once every five (5) years by governing municipalities for the purpose of complying with Section 40802 of the CVC and the national Uniform Vehicle Code. E&TS may be extended to every seven (7) years if the arresting officer has completed device training and the device has been recently calibrated. E&TS may be extended every fourteen (14) years if a registered engineer evaluates the section of the highway and determines that no significant changes in roadway or surrounding land uses have occurred as specified in the CVC. An E&TS should be conducted on new roadways or where traffic conditions have changed significantly.

The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD), as required under CVC 21400, defines standards for posting speed limits that rely upon collecting speed data in the field to determine the 85th percentile speed, which is subsequently rounded upward or downward to the nearest 5 mile per hour increment. The CA-MUTCD allows for options to further reduce the speed limit. Additionally, local authorities are allowed to further reduce speed limits to consider the safety of vulnerable pedestrians under Assembly Bill No. 43. Table 1: Engineering and Traffic Survey Summary summarizes the findings and recommendations for speed limits on those segments. The results of the E&TS will be valid until 2030, see Table 1 for details, unless extended through additional criteria.

METHODOLOGY:

On January 1, 2012, CVC 21400(b) became effective requiring the California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to revise the CA-MUTCD so that speed limits are based on field-collected speed data. A spot speed survey that typically consists of measuring vehicle speeds with an electronic device, most commonly a radar speed detector. Traffic traveling at free-flow speeds in each direction for a two-way street is collected and compiled to create a data set. The most significant data point collected is the 85th percentile speed, which is the speed at or below which 85 percent of motor vehicles travel. The 85th percentile speed is the industry standard data point which typically represents one standard deviation above the average speed and establishes the upper limit of what is considered reasonable and prudent. The reason that speed limit areas are established and posted is to guard reasonable drivers from the unreasonable behavior of a reckless or otherwise dangerous drivers. As with other laws, speed limits are established based on the consensus of the majority of those who drive a section of roadway as to what speed is reasonable and safe.

As specified in the California MUTCD Section 2B.13, the posted speed limit “shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic.” Additionally, the MUTCD allows the posted speed limit to be lowered by no more than 5 mph from a rounded speed, using one of two options that depend on whether the 85th percentile speed has been rounded down or up. The options may be applied as follows:

1. MUTCD Section 2B.13 states, “The posted speed may be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th percentile speed, in compliance with CVC Sections 627 and 22358.5.” The cited CVC Section 627 defines an E&T survey that is required to consider prevailing speeds, accident records, and conditions not readily apparent to the driver, and optionally consider residential density as well as pedestrian and bicycle safety. According to the MUTCD, this option requires documentation of an E&T Survey that “shall document in writing the conditions and justification for the lower speed limit and be approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer.” The basis for a speed limit that is more than 5 mph lower than the 85th percentile speed is something other than prevailing speeds. In regard to conditions not readily apparent to the driver, CVC 22358 states that “physical conditions such as width, curvature, grade and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning.”

2. MUTCD Section 2B.13 12a also states “For cases in which the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th percentile speed would require a rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5-mph increment below the 85th percentile speed, if no further reduction is used.” An Option 2 round-down, which became available when CVC Section 21400(b) went into effect January 1, 2012, requires no E&T Survey to post the speed limit sign. The E&T Survey is required nevertheless, however, to allow radar or similar devices to be used for enforcement.

Neither the Vehicle Code nor the MUTCD provide much specific guidance regarding accident data or pedestrian or bicycle safety. In contrast, CVC 627(c)(1) provides specific guidance on residential density. Many residential neighborhoods in Salinas meet the density threshold of 16 separate dwelling houses or business structures per quarter mile. The statute does not apply to roads within a business district.

While the California MUTCD allows two options for lowering the posted speed, it has no provision for raising the speed limit above the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th percentile speed.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS:

The results of the Engineering and Traffic Survey for nineteen (19) roadway sections are listed in Table 1: Engineering and Traffic Survey Summary:

ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEYS EXPIRING 2030:

Decreased
5) Airport Boulevard between Skyway Boulevard and Hansen Street - This segment of Airport Boulevard is classified as a collector in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes industrial and business use. Speed data collected on April 23, 2025, revealed the 85th percentile speed of 39 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 30 mph to 39 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, and the prevailing speeds rounded up, the existing speed limit of 45 mph should be reduced to 40 mph. 20) Casentini Street between North Main Street and Rico Street - This segment of Casentini Street is classified as a collector in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes fronting residential and commercial areas. Casentini Street was presented to the Salinas City Council on January 10, 2023, as part of the 2022 Engineering and Traffic Surveys where through Resolution No. 22555, Council rejected retaining the existing posted speed limit of 35 mph. City staff resurveyed the segment of Casentini Street on April 18, 2025, and recorded an 85th percentile speed of 36 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 26 mph to 35 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is above this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, and the prevailing speeds rounded down and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 1, the existing posted speed limit of 35 mph should be changed to establish 30 mph.

Unchanged
3) Abbott Street between South Sanborn Road/East Blanco Road and Harkins Road - This segment of Abbott Street is classified as a major arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes industrial use. Speed data collected on April 22, 2025, revealed the 85th percentile speed of 42 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 31 mph to 40 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is above this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, and the prevailing speeds rounded down, the existing posted speed limit of 40 mph should be retained. 27) Constitution Boulevard between Independence Boulevard and East Boronda Road - This segment of Constitution Boulevard is classified as a minor arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes backing residential homes, retail, and park use. Speed data collected on April 8, 2025, revealed the 85th percentile speed of 46 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 36 mph to 45 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is above this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, and the prevailing speeds rounded down, and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 1, the existing posted speed limit of 40 mph should be retained. 45) Romie Lane between Riker Street and Abbott Street - This segment of East Romie Lane is classified as a minor arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes residential homes, retail, office, hospital, and park use. Speed data collected on April 22, 2025, revealed the 85th percentile speed of 35 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 26 mph to 35 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, and the prevailing speeds reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 1, the existing posted speed limit of 30 mph should be retained.
47) Natividad Road between East Laurel Drive and East Bernal Drive - This segment of Natividad Road is classified as a major arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes fronting and backing residential homes and commercial businesses. Speed data collected on May 28, 2025, revealed the 85th percentile speed of 39 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 28 mph to 37 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is above this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, and the prevailing speeds rounded up, the existing posted speed limit of 40 mph should be retained.
55) Linwood Drive between East Laurel Drive and East Alvin Drive - This segment of Linwood Drive is classified as a collector in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes fronting residential homes and a school.

Linwood Drive was presented to the Salinas City Council on January 10, 2023, as part of the 2022 Engineering and Traffic Surveys where through Resolution No. 22555, Council rejected an increase in the existing posted speed limit from 25 mph to 30 mph. City staff resurveyed the segment of Linwood Drive on April 23, 2025, and recorded an 85th percentile speed of 34 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 27 mph to 36 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range.

Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, the prevailing speeds rounded up and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 2, and following the implementation of Assembly Bill No. 43, authorizing local authority to further reduce speed limits by 5-mph if the roadway is adjacent to high concentration of bicyclists and pedestrians, the existing posted speed limit of 25 mph should be established.

CONCLUSIONS:

The Engineering and Traffic Surveys contained in Appendix A of this report are intended to establish and justify posted speed limits that can be enforced by radar. The posted speed limits advise the motorist and enforcement agencies of speeds considered reasonable for a particular section of highway for prevailing conditions. The posted speed limits are not absolute maximums, but rather prima facie speed limits for which violations would be cited under the Basic Speed Law (Section 22350 of the CVC). CVC 22350 states that a person shall not drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is safe, having regard for traffic, roadway, and weather conditions. A prima facie limit merely suggests a safe speed under normal conditions.

COLLISION HISTORY
The Engineering and Traffic Survey forms summarize the available collision information for each of the street segments.

The collision information was obtained from the City of Salinas from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. For this analysis, only collisions during the 2-year period between January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023 were considered. The collisions were reviewed and only corridor related collisions, those not related to signalized intersections, were summarized for each segment. Based on the number of total collisions studied over the 2-year period and average daily traffic (ADT) counts, a collision rate was calculated for each segment. The collision rates for each segment were compared to the statewide average rate listed in the 2022 Collision Data on California State Highways, to provide a general comparison of the collision rates on the segments to expected collisions rates for similar types of roadways, shown in Table 2: Collision Rate Summary.

The surrounding land use includes residential and industrial. Speed data collected on May 12, 2025, revealed the 85th percentile speed of 31 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 24 mph to 33 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, and the prevailing speeds rounded down and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 1, the existing posted speed limit of 25 mph should be retained.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 12, 2025
DEPARTMENT: FIRE
FROM: SAMUEL KLEMEK, FIRE CHIEF
TITLE: FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES MAP
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

Adopt an ordinance adopting by reference the State of California Fire Hazard Severity Zones Map entitled “City of Salinas—Monterey County Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

California Government Code Section 51179 requires that the local agencies, including the City of Salinas, to adopt an ordinance adopting the Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone map prepared by the State of California Office of the State Fire Marshal. This statewide legislation is part of the larger state effort aimed at reducing wildfire risk and bolstering response capabilities.

Once adopted the ordinance will become effective thirty (30) days thereafter.

BACKGROUND:

In March of 2025, the Salinas Fire Department received the updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps from the State Fire Marshal’s Office. These maps were developed by state officials pursuant to Government Code Section 51178, which mandates the identification and classification of areas in California based on their relative fire hazard severity. The designation is a crucial step in implementing fire prevention strategies and ensuring the safety of residents in high-hazard areas.

The maps do not limit or restrict the City’s authority to impose more restrictive fire and public safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law. No further local revisions or restrictions to this map are proposed in this ordinance.

It is important to remember that these maps measure hazard and not risk.  Fire “hazard” is based on physical conditions that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mitigation measures such as home hardening, recent wildfires, or fuel reduction.

Page | 2
 Fire “risk” is the potential damage a fire can do to the area under existing conditions, accounting for any modifications such as fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition-resistant building construction.

Though the hazard has been reduced in much of the City, this does not mean properties are less at risk. The maps do not incorporate structure density and limited evacuation routes. The Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps, created by the state, are developed using scientific models that assess factors such as vegetation, topography, and weather patterns that contribute to fire behavior. These maps are instrumental in guiding building standards, defensible space requirements in new developments and application of fire safe regulations.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Statutory Exemption. The proposed ordinance adopting the Fire Hazard Severity Zones as recommended by the State Fire Marshal is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a ministerial action, required by law.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Public Safety - Continue to improve community safety by engaging residents and using a broad range of proactive approaches that emphasize community connection and prevention programs.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

This Fire Department has shared this information with the Community Development Department for incorporation into future planning and development policies and projects.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 12, 2025
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION
FROM: RENÉ MENDEZ, CITY MANAGER
TITLE: FY 25-26 WORKFORCE ALLOCATION ADJUSTMENT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a Resolution modifying the workforce allocation for the Police Department to add one Public Safety Recruitment Coordinator position and one Public Safety Communications Specialist position, respectively.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommend that the City Council approve the attached Resolution modifying the workforce allocation for the Police Departments. This modification will add one Recruitment Coordinator and one Public Safety Communications Specialist to the Police Department’s workforce.

BACKGROUND:

As part of both the FY 2024-25 and the FY 2025-26 budget process, the Police Department requested the addition of one Personnel & Training Specialist position and one Public Safety Communications Specialist position. Though not funded as part of the City’s annual budget process, these position requests were discussed during the June 10, 2025, Finance Committee Meeting, and during the June 17, 2025, City Council Meeting. During both meetings, staff were provided direction to focus on these position requests and bring them back to the City Council for consideration sooner rather than later.

In the FY 2025-26 request for a Personnel & Training Specialist, the Police Department stated this new position would support recruitment activities by ensuring timely outreach, communication, and follow-through with prospective and confirmed applicants. This will include coordination of the background investigation process, oversight of consultant contracts, and communication with candidates going through the recruitment and background investigation process. During calendar year 2024, there were a total of 88 background investigations initiated through contracted background investigators. In addition to those assigned backgrounds, many additional applicants were reviewed and evaluated by internal staff before determining not to move forward with a background investigation. While the bulk of the background investigations are completed by a contract investigator, staff must monitor the progress, ensure timely scheduling and follow-through on required testing, and stay in communication with applicants to ensure they remain engaged Page | 2
during the lengthy recruitment and hiring process. As the Police Department continues to focus on increasing their sworn workforce, this position is critical to ensure timely follow-up on applicants which can increase the likelihood of sustaining viable candidates through the lengthy recruitment process and thus reduce unnecessary costs associated with losing qualified candidates prior to hiring. This position will also coordinate training workshops for potential applicants and assist with administrative coordination and reporting as required by policy and legislation. It is important to note that from 2017 through 2021 the Police Department had a dedicated Recruitment Officer, and this civilian position will provide similar services. The current Personnel & Training Specialist classification is inactive. After further discussion and analysis, a more appropriate title and classification would be a Public Safety Recruitment Coordinator, which currently does not exist. The Police Department will work with the Human Resources Department to develop the job description to meet the current needs of the department and subsequently amend the Classification Salary Schedule.

In their FY 2025-26 request for a Public Safety Communications Specialist, the Police Department stated that as one of the largest and most active departments in the city, the need for a full-time and dedicated position is necessary to coordinate media activities, communicate critical information and reports to the community, share updates and outcomes of police operations, and share community events. Currently, press releases, media requests, and social media communication are completed by a small team of sworn staff, often on an overtime basis. Duties of this position will align with the existing Communications Specialist job description, including reviewing, coordinating, creating, and overseeing a wide variety of public information and media projects within the communications, promotions, and public relations arena. The addition of this position will support the Police Department’s priority of community engagement and relational equity by allowing the department to be more proactive and responsive in communications with the public and help ensure consistent and community-focused messaging. In addition, the Public Safety Communication Specialist will work in close collaboration with City’s Community Relations Manager (PIO).

Due to the extended timeline involved in hiring Police Department positions, it is anticipated that sufficient funding will be available within the Police Department’s FY 2025-26 budget to support these new positions. However, should hiring take place sooner than expected and additional funds are needed this FY, it will be addressed as part of the Mid-Year Budget process.

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).

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Approving the proposed Resolution will support the City Council’s Strategic Plan Goals of Public Safety and City Services.

Page | 3
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Administration staff worked with the Human Resources Department, Finance Department, and Police Department in this effort.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Due to the extended timeline involved in hiring Police Department positions, a pro-rated share (10 months) of the fully loaded cost for each position is being recommended for appropriation. The Public Safety Communications Specialist portion is $118,600 and the Public Safety Recruitment Coordinator is currently estimated to $108,500 for a total of $227,100. Depending on actual start dates, salary savings in FY 2025-26 could be realized. Future annual costs are $142,400 for the Public Safety Communications Specialist and estimated at $130,100 for the Public Safety Recruitment Coordinator, for a total of $272,500.

SOPHIA ROME, COMMUNITY RELATIONS MANAGER
TITLE: ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES MAP
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

This is an informational item only. No action is required.

Receive a report on the City’s Economic Opportunities Map.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Salinas is committed to fostering economic development, enhancing public engagement, and leveraging technology to improve transparency and accessibility. As part of this effort, the City Manager’s Office and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) team have developed an Economic Opportunities Map, an interactive tool designed to visualize key assets, such as development opportunities, recreational amenities, and plan implementation areas for previously approved specific plans. This map will serve as a dynamic resource for residents, businesses, and stakeholders to explore growth opportunities across Salinas, supporting informed decision-making and encouraging economic investment.

BACKGROUND:

The City Manager’s Office has worked with the GIS team to create an interactive mapping tool that allows the City, stakeholders, and residents to easily visualize relevant data on infrastructure and planning efforts. The goal is to help identify development opportunities and track ongoing projects in Salinas. The City of Salinas Economic Opportunities Map is designed to highlight areas with potential for economic investment and community development while breaking down information silos. This initiative directly supports the Council’s Strategic Goal of Economic Development by promoting and expanding opportunities across the City and supporting both new and existing businesses to drive economic growth and job creation.

The Economic Opportunities Map will help the City share information about where growth is happening and where new opportunities may emerge. By bringing together data on ongoing projects, parks and recreation amenities, approved specific plan areas, and business and retail locations, the map gives residents, business owners, and developers an easy way to explore development activity and understand how Salinas is growing.

Page | 2
Economic development is vital to Salinas as it fosters job creation, strengthens local businesses, and enhances community prosperity. Located on the City’s Economic Development webpage, the Economic Opportunities Map will be updated regularly to reflect new projects and information.

This tool supports thoughtful, sustainable growth and ensures that Salinas remains a vibrant, forward-looking City.

Because the map is dynamic with links to information, it will be shared at the Council meeting before going live.

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).

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 12, 2025
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION
FROM: RENÉ MENDEZ, CITY MANAGER

SOPHIA ROME, COMMUNITY RELATIONS MANAGER
TITLE: CITY OF SALINAS COMMUNICATION, OUTREACH &

ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

This is an informational item only. Receive a report on the City of Salinas Communication, Outreach & Engagement Strategy; no action required.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Community outreach and engagement is an essential service provided by the City of Salinas. The Communication, Outreach & Engagement Strategy (Communication Strategy) is designed to establish standards and best practices in communication and is intended to equip staff with the knowledge, tools, and strategies required to facilitate inclusive outreach and engagement with the community. The Communication Strategy provides a framework for citywide communications aimed at strengthening consistency, increasing reach to the community and stakeholders, and serving as a foundation for staff training grounded in proven strategies and best practices in local government communication and community relations.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s existing Communication Strategy has not been updated since it was first implemented in 2016. Over the last nine years, there have been significant changes in the way residents receive and consume information, and the communication tools used to disseminate that information. The needs of the community and best practices in communication have also changed. Additionally, in 2020, the City hired its first Community Relations Manager who is designated as the City’s Public Information Officer (PIO). This has created the opportunity to develop a communication strategy that focuses on equitable outreach and engagement, establishes best practices for communication that align with the City’s goals, breaking down information silos, and providing staff with tools to approach communication as a service to the community.

Earlier this year, the City Council identified engaging residents and improving communication with the community as a strategy under the City Services Goal in the 2025 – 2028 Strategic Plan.

The update to the existing Communication Strategy will support this goal by improving citywide Page | 2
communication, outreach and engagement. The overarching goals of the Communication Strategy are:
 Inform the public as an essential service to the community  Encourage civic engagement
 Support and advance equity through outreach and engagement  Ensure consistent and strategic branding and messaging  Define leadership and staff roles and responsibilities in communication, outreach, and engagement efforts
Some departments, like Fire and Police, already have designated department-level PIOs – as is a common practice in public safety – who work closely with the Community Relations Manager.

Implementation of the Communication Strategy will seek to model these types of established best practices by forming a staff communications committee comprised of at least one liaison from each department to meet on a regular basis with the goal of breaking down information silos and work towards consistency in the City’s communication, outreach, and engagement efforts.

Training will also be provided to staff, with training topics and timing being informed by the communications committee.

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).

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

The Communication Strategy aligns with the Strategic Goal of City Services, specifically engaging residents and improving communication with the community. In addition, it supports all strategic goals as effective communication, outreach and engagement are necessary to effectively inform residents and create opportunities for equitable public engagement.

Page | 3
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Communication Outreach & Engagement Strategy was developed through collaboration with City Administration, Community Development, and Library and Community Services.

Department staff worked together to identify overarching goals and strategies. Additionally, the City’s Executive team has reviewed and provided feedback Communication Strategy.

Communication is an
Essential Service

P U R P O S E
Community outreach and engagement are essential services provided by the City of Salinas. The Communication, Outreach & Engagement Strategy (Communication Strategy) is designed to establish standards and best practices in communication and is tailored to equip staff with the knowledge, tools, and strategies required to facilitate inclusive outreach and engagement with the community.

The purpose of the Communication Strategy is to make citywide communications and engagement consistent, unifying, and centralized in a way that fosters cooperation within the organization and with residents. The City’s approach to inclusive communication and engagement hinges on an understanding of the unique challenges, needs, and priorities within the Salinas community. It is about actively listening, acknowledging historical contexts, and partnering collaboratively with our community to help us achieve that goal.

Communication is an essential service to the community and central to the effective operation of the City. The Communication Strategy aims to support and enhance operations through ethical and equitable outreach by increasing transparency, expanding community reach, breaking down information silos, and providing staff with tools to effectively inform and engage the community.

The Community Relations Manager will update the Communication Strategy as needed, but at a minimum, every two years, to support and enhance effective operations through ethical and equitable outreach and engagement while keeping up with best practices in communications, outreach and engagement.

Overarching Goals

C O M M U N I C A T I O N G O A L S
Clear, consistent, and accessible communication is a fundamental responsibility of the City. Ensuring that residents are informed about City operations, services, and initiatives is not only an essential service, but a key factor in fostering civic engagement and trust. Whether communicating routine updates, sharing information on community meetings/events or disseminating information on urgent matters, the City must prioritize transparency and clarity (sharing information in common language) to ensure information reaches all segments of the community effectively.

Strategy 1.1: Proactive Dissemination of Information
Effective communication goes beyond responding to inquiries and requires a forward-thinking approach to ensure that information reaches residents before they have to seek it out. Proactive dissemination is a strategy that delivers timely, relevant information and updates in a clear, accessible manner, which means utilizing a multi-channel approach that meets residents where they are, whether through digital platforms, printed materials, in-person outreach, or partnerships with trusted community organizations.

Proactive dissemination also means anticipating information needs.

Rather than waiting for questions or concerns to arise, the City should regularly assess what residents need to know and strategically distribute information accordingly. This is especially important for topics such as City budgeting, infrastructure projects, and emergency communications, where early engagement can improve community understanding and effective participation. Additionally, ensuring that information is presented in plain, common language—free from jargon and unnecessary complexity—will make City communications more approachable and inclusive.

ESSENTIAL SERVICE TO THE

COMMUNITY

By embracing this proactive approach, the City can strengthen transparency, build trust, and empower residents with the knowledge they need to engage with the City effectively.

Strategy 1.2: Using Multiple Methods of Sharing Information Informing the public is not simply a task of disseminating information (the traditional “checking the box”); it is a commitment to proactive outreach engagement, inclusivity, and accessibility. The City’s communication efforts must reflect the diversity of Salinas, ensuring that residents receive relevant updates in formats and languages that meet their needs. The approach must be adaptable, acknowledging that no single communication method will serve all audiences or situations.

Strategy 1.3: Providing Access to Public Information
Public access to information is a legal and ethical obligation under the California Public Records Act (PRA). As a guiding principle of government transparency, the PRA ensures that residents can request and review public records related to City business. The City upholds this responsibility by maintaining public records under the PRA and offering access for public inquiries to foster a culture of transparency and trust.

ENCOURAGE CIVIC

ENGAGEMENT
G O A L 2
Effective communication helps residents and stakeholders connect and work productively with their City. Civic engagement is more than participation; it requires fostering ongoing relationships with the community built on trust, accessibility, and meaningful dialogue. By ensuring that communication is service-oriented, responsive, and inclusive, the City can empower residents to engage in the governance process in a way that is informed and impactful.

This approach also recognizes that engagement is not one-sided.

Collaboration, shared investment, and sustained partnerships are foundational to effective outreach and engagement. By removing barriers to participation, addressing community concerns transparently, and proactively supporting engagement efforts, the City can strengthen civic involvement and build a governance model that reflects the needs and priorities of Salinas residents and stakeholders.

Strategy 2.1: Encouraging Service-Oriented, Responsive
Engagement
Take a service-oriented approach to communication by engaging with the community proactively, responding to questions/comments, and providing accessible information that encourages informed civic participation. Clear and supportive communication fosters trust and engagement, even in difficult conversations.

Clear and concise written and verbal communication – Refrain from technical terms and jargon. In order for residents to effectively participate, they need to understand the information being shared.

Accessible and inclusive communication – Consider diverse language, cultural, and accessibility needs when sharing information. Use multiple formats and outreach methods to ensure all residents have equitable access to City communications, including those with accessibility needs or limited digital access.

Active listening and adaptive messaging – Approach community interactions with a listening-first mindset, ensuring responses are not just informative but also tailored to the concerns and perspectives of the community. Adapt messaging based on community feedback to keep outreach efforts relevant and effective.

Timely and transparent responses to inquiries – Acknowledge and address community questions and concerns in a timely manner to demonstrate accountability and encourage ongoing engagement. Consistent and responsive communication builds trust and reassures residents that their voices are valued. 0 8
Strategy 2.2: Building Relationships to Strengthen Trust and Engagement
Cultivate strong, reciprocal relationships with local organizations, schools, and businesses to expand communication efforts. True engagement (connection and participation) goes beyond outreach (dissemination of information). Effective engagement requires ongoing support, collaboration, and a shared commitment to community well-being. Strengthening the relationships with our community partners ensures that engagement is not just a one-way request for their support but a genuine partnership.

Strategy 2.3: Strategic Design of Outreach and Engagement Plans Engagement must be approached with cultural awareness and sensitivity, prioritizing sustained relationships that recognize the leadership and insights of local voices. Use the Spectrum of Community Engagement (page 43 of the Alisal Vibrancy Plan) and other tools to assess the appropriate level of outreach for programs, projects, and services, ensuring community engagement goes beyond minimum legal requirements to maximize impact.

Spectrum of Community Engagement
0 9
Outreach vs. Engagement: Outreach focuses on sharing and disseminating information through multiple platforms to inform stakeholders about key issues, decisions, and opportunities.

Engagement, on the other hand, is a collaborative process that meets people where they are, fostering meaningful participation and strengthening relationships between the organization, residents, and stakeholders.

Informing vs. Achieving Consensus or Consent: Outreach can be designed either to inform, gain consensus or gain consent, each serving a distinct purpose. The decision on which approach is most appropriate should be strategically applied based on engagement goals.

Inform – sharing information transparently
Consensus – working toward agreement
Consent – acceptance through informing with dialogue
Equality (Sameness) vs. Equity (Fairness) in Outreach & Engagement: Equality provides the same level of resources to all, while equity acknowledges different circumstances and allocates resources based on needs to ensure fair participation. Truly inclusive outreach recognizes disparities and adjusts engagement efforts accordingly to create opportunities for all voices to be heard.

Inclusion as an Outcome: Engagement efforts must be intentional in reaching diverse populations equitably, ensuring that all communities, especially historically underrepresented groups, are meaningfully included. Inclusion is not just about participation numbers but about fostering a sense of belonging in decisionmaking.

Collaboration as a Foundation for Trust: Successful engagement is built on authentic partnerships with community partners, organizations, and residents. Active participation should not just seek input but to foster co-creation of solutions that reflect the priorities of the community. A relationship-driven approach ensures that engagement is rooted in trust and not transactional.

Partnering with Community Messengers: Recognize the role of community partners in facilitating engagement, especially where there may be engagement hesitancy or limited trust with the City as an organization. Collaborating with leaders and partners in the community can strengthen outreach efforts by ensuring
communication is culturally relevant, relationship-driven, and accessible to all segments of the community.

Strategy 2.4: Data – Driven Engagement
Regularly evaluate and refine communication strategies using surveys, feedback channels, and engagement metrics. Leverage data analytics to identify community needs, measure outreach effectiveness, and guide future improvements. Track engagement levels across platforms and use post-event surveys to assess whether community members felt engaged, gathering insights to shape more impactful communication efforts.

Strategy 2.5: Identify Barriers to Participation
Effective communication between the City of Salinas and its diverse communities is essential for fostering trust, civic engagement, and equitable access to resources. However, several persistent barriers complicate meaningful outreach and participation, including the need to build trust-based relationships, language access, and intimidating bureaucratic processes. These challenges demand more than a standardized approach; overcoming them requires intentional, adaptive strategies that acknowledge the nuances of each barrier and the diverse needs of Salinas residents.

By recognizing that communication is not a one-size-fits-all effort, the City can create a more inclusive and responsive system that ensures every resident has access to the information, services, and opportunities they need to engage fully in local governance. 1 1
A. Trust
Any effective relationship is built on trust, and communication with the community is no different. The reasons we need to build trust can vary. It could be based in experience where residents felt there was a lack of communication and engagement with past initiatives. It could also stem from limited awareness or knowledge of laws or regulatory requirements/processes. Little to no past engagement with the City could be another reason that trust needs to be established. When trust has not been established, the desire to participate can be seen with lack of value, suspicion and scrutiny, possibly discouraging participation, compromising trust and hindering effective collaboration and progress.

To build trust, Salinas must prioritize transparency, consistency, and relationship-building through genuine, sustained outreach rather than transactional communication.

B. Language Access
Salinas is home to a large Spanish-speaking population, as well as Indigenous language speakers and other linguistic minorities. Without consideration for language access, information fails to reach our diverse community, including critical city updates, emergency alerts, and community resources and programs. The City must ensure that messaging is not just translated but adapted for clarity, cultural relevance, and accessibility.

C. Digital Divide
While online platforms have become essential outreach tools, reliance on digital communication alone risks exclusion of residents with limited internet access or digital literacy skills. Aging community members, linguistically diverse communities and lower-income households face disproportionate barriers in engaging with online City resources. A successful strategy must incorporate consideration of the need for multilingual printed materials, in-person meetings, and partnerships with trusted community groups to bridge this gap, particularly as it relates to information or initiatives that impact community members with a limited to no digital access or digital literacy skills.
1 2
D. Intimidating Bureaucratic Processes and Complex Regulations Even for the most seasoned community participant, navigating City processes can be daunting. Complex government procedures, such as permitting, public comment forums and means for participation, and grant applications, can feel overwhelming to many, thereby discouraging participation; this includes understanding when and how to participate and why participation is important.

Simplifying these processes through clear, step-by-step guidance, accessible formats, and community partners can help ensure more residents can confidently engage with City services. Communicating these regulations and processes in plain language, with communityled educational sessions, can make engaging with the City more approachable.

E. Engagement Hesitancy
Some residents may hesitate to engage with local government due to past negative experiences or uncertainty about how their voice will be valued. Traditional outreach methods that feel performative or rigid often fail to inspire meaningful participation. The City must foster dialogue that empowers residents and communicate how the feedback has led to actionable outcomes.

While a staple of municipal governance is to deliberate forums like town halls and public hearings, it often is not suited to meaningful dialogue with the community. The type of forum for participation should be determined based on the needs of the segment(s) of the community the City is informing or engaging. The needed level of community engagement can be determined based on the type and impact of project/initiative, and the Spectrum of Community Engagement (pg. 9) , a tested and effective tool to define those needs. 1 3
1 4
F. Location, Time and Services
Where and when community
engagement opportunities occur
matters. Conducting community
engagement during inconvenient
times, for example, during the
workday or when it is difficult to
arrange care for family members, can
be limiting for many individuals.

However, if the audience we are
engaging is the business community
or other agencies, before work hours
or during lunch may be more
accommodating.

The location of an engagement event
can also be a barrier. Considerations
for transportation limitations and
access can be utilizing a space that is
closer/centralized for the communities
we need to engage and/or considering
including an additional remote/virtual
engagement opportunity. Additional
services should also be considered like
food and childcare.

SUPPORT AND ADVANCE

EQUITY THROUGH

OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT
G O A L 3
City communications must ensure that all residents have equal access to information, services, and civic engagement, acknowledging the diversity of the population across language, age, access, and background. Thoughtful, strategic outreach must proactively address these disparities, including awareness of implicit bias, to ensure equitable, inclusive engagement that reflects the needs and priorities of all community members.

Strategy 3.1: Equitable Access to Information and Participation Integrate accessibility and engagement into outreach planning – Prioritize equitable access by allocating adequate time, budget, and resources to ensure outreach efforts reach residents effectively.

Leverage the expertise of the Community Relations Team – Consult with the Community Relations team for support in developing inclusive and responsive outreach and engagement strategies that address our diverse community needs.

Strategy 3.2: Language Access and Cultural Inclusion
Bilingual communication materials – Provide all public-facing content – social media posts, brochures, and flyers – in both English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for the City's large Spanishspeaking population. Information in other languages should also be considered when thinking about the audience we are engaging and with accessibility in mind.

Maintain bilingual forms and services – Offer Spanish-language forms and translation services at City facilities and meetings. 1 5
1 6
Strategy 3.3: Digital and Accessibility Standards
Ensure digital accessibility for residents – Follow WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) to make digital content more inclusive and user-friendly.
w3.org/TR/WCAG22
Train staff in accessible content creation – Provide training and resources for staff to ensure City digital communications meet accessibility best practices and remain compliant with federal standards.

ENSURE CONSISTENT &

STRATEGIC BRANDING &

MESSAGING
G O A L 4
The City’s brand represents its identity, values, and commitment to the community. Consistency in public communications, including the appropriate use of the City’s logo and seal, ensures clarity, professionalism, and trust in the City's messaging. All branding efforts must align with established guidelines to maintain a unified brand across departments and outreach initiatives.

Strategy 4.1: Represent the City's Brand with Consistency & Purpose
Ensure branding consistency across public communications – All consultant-led work involving public communication must include the Community Relations Manager team to ensure compliance with the Communication Strategy, review branding elements, and provide guidance on outreach and engagement strategy.

Use approved templates for official documents – Plans, documents, letterhead, email signatures, and other branding templates available on the City’s Intranet must be used to maintain a unified identity.

Strategy 4.2: Proper Use of Logos and Visual Identity
Maintain consistency in logo usage – The City’s official logo must be used across all City communications with the following exceptions:

City Council, Board, Commission, & Committee Agendas
Legal notices that require use of the City seal
Documents where use of the seal is required
Departmental logo exceptions – The Salinas Fire and Police Departments may use their official logos without the City logo, except in crisis communications, where alignment with citywide branding remains essential.
1 7
1 8
Coordinate branding approval for public signage – The Community Relations Manager must approve any replacement or addition of signage in public spaces, including building signs, doors, and the use of the City’s logo or seal.

Design of new logos - The more logos that exist, the greater the potential to dilute the brand recognition of the City. This means that the more department or project specific logos that exist, the more challenging it can be for the community to know whether the logo is connected to the City. To that end, design of new logos is discouraged and requires pre-approval and final approval by the City Manager or designee.

Strategy 4.3: Staff Training and Brand Stewardship
Equip staff with branding and communication best practices – Regular training on content creation, marketing, and citywide communication standards ensures consistency and reinforces the principles of the Communication Strategy.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Community Relations is part of the Administration Department under the City Manager’s Office. The Community Relations Manager serves as the Public Information Officer (PIO) for the City, and the Communications Specialist in Community Relations serves as the City’s Assistant Public Information Officer (APIO). The Community Relations team oversees public communication and serves as the primary point of contact for media inquiries and management of the City’s social media accounts and websites. While departments may manage department-level accounts and webpages, the Community Relations Manager will conduct regular reviews to ensure consistency with branding, messaging, and communication style, reinforcing a unified voice across all platforms that aligns with the City’s values and strategic goals.

Public Information Officer Access to Information
A key function of the Community Relations team is to provide public news releases through the City’s communications channels, including social media, the website, email, and text messages. To create this content and provide updates, there must be an open exchange of information. In most instances, the Community Relations team will reach out to staff to obtain information several weeks or more in advance. However, there will be occasions where information is needed on a more immediate basis.
1 9
2 0
While not an exhaustive list, here are some examples of common instances where information may require a quick turnaround:

As soon as possible:

Information for media inquiries
Emergency situations
High dollar value and key grants that have already been announced by the issuing agency when Community Relations Manager was not apprised in advance
Other examples:

Information tied to items going to Council that may be highlighted before the Council Meeting or after the Council takes action Special projects like road closures, traffic impacts, or special updates that the Community Relations Division has been directed to release with a quicker turnaround time
Media Contact
Departments should coordinate media-related communications with the Community Relations Manager as far in advance as feasible to allow time to draft, prepare, and obtain necessary information.

Examples of media-related items include:

Media inquiries should be directed to the Community Relations Manager as the City’s PIO or designee for information and interview coordination
Exception: Public safety personnel unless otherwise directed to work through the Community Relations Manager due to the emergent need to share information at all hours of the day Press Conferences and media coverage at events, including ribbon cuttings
Press Releases (releasing information) and Media Advisories (requesting attendance) are sent by the Community Relations team
Grant awards: The Community Relations Manager should be advised as soon as the Department is aware of an upcoming award, even if advised that the information is confidential, to allow adequate time for the release of information as soon as the State or Federal agency authorizes the release.

As a best practice, not every announcement should be a press release.

If you’re unsure if a press release (sent to the media directly) or a news release (widely shared) is appropriate, contact the Community Relations Division for guidance.
2 1
Social Media Management
The City’s social media accounts are managed by the Community Relations Division. Although departments have direct oversight and primary content management access, it is the responsibility of the Community Relations Manager to ensure that staff are maintaining a public image of the City that aligns with the values and brand of the City and follows best practices for social media communication. This includes messaging, public communication, and branding.

The Community Relations Manager’s social media role is to:

Ensure that all content posted on the City’s social media accounts adheres to the City’s adopted Social Media Policy
Conduct regular reviews of departmental social media accounts to ensure consistency with branding, messaging, and communication style
Provide guidance and training to staff on best practices for social media communication, including effective use of visuals, tone of voice, and engagement strategies
Maintain full administrative access to all social media accounts, including YouTube, NextDoor, LinkedIn and other less common and emerging social platforms
Open or create a new social media accounts approved by the City Manager or the Community Relations Manager to maintain full administrative access rights
Perform periodic audits to ensure social media accounts are not connected to individual, personal social media accounts Ensure all social media activities comply with relevant laws, regulations, and ethical standards
Safeguard the City’s social media accounts from security breaches and unauthorized access
Accounts that are not in compliance with the Communication Strategy or the City’s social media policy within one month from being notified by the Community Relations Manager may be suspended or closed.

Any City social media account may be suspended/closed at any time at the direction of the City Manager, or department accounts may be suspended/closed at the direction of the Department Director. 2 2
Website
The Community Relations Manager plays a pivotal role in overseeing the City’s website to ensure clear, consistent, and accessible communication. While individual departments may manage their respective webpages, the Community Relations Manager ensures alignment with branding, messaging, and strategic communication objectives. The Community Relations Manager serves as the webmaster for the City of Salinas and will regularly review the website for content and accessibility and provide direction, guidance, and recommendations to staff to ensure the website is an effective tool for residents to access information.

Crisis Communication
As the City’s PIO, the Community Relations Manager serves as the lead PIO for the City during emergencies that lead or may lead to the activation of the City or County Emergency Operation Center. In this capacity, the Community Relations Manager will:

Ensure centralized coordination of crisis communication – The Community Relations Manager serves as the lead for emergency communication efforts, ensuring that messaging is timely, accurate, and aligned with the scale of the incident. Departments must keep the Community Relations Manager informed of
emerging crises to maintain consistency and coordination in public communication.

Adapt communication strategy based on incident scale – Crisis response requires flexibility in timing, tone, and outreach approach.

While some emergencies demand immediate public messaging, others require more measured communication to ensure clarity and prevent misinformation. Coordination across departments ensures that outreach is responsive, transparent, and appropriately scaled to the situation at hand.

Develop and maintain an emergency communication plan – The Community Relations Manager will create and maintain a Crisis Communication Plan that will guide communication processes in to ensure residents receive timely, accurate information during crises, with special consideration for language accessibility, digital inclusivity, and equity-focused outreach.

DEPARTMENTS
By fostering an open exchange of information and embracing communication best practices, departments play a vital role in strengthening community engagement and promoting transparency.

Departments serve as the primary source of information on City initiatives, programs, and services and play a crucial role in effective communication by ensuring timely, accurate, and consistent communication and engagement, and building relationships within the community. Each department is responsible for identifying key updates, projects, and public-facing information that may require outreach and engagement. To maximize the effectiveness of communication efforts, departments are responsible for:

Ownership of Departmental Communication: While the
Community Relations team leads citywide communication efforts, departments are responsible for day-to-day communication from the department. Staff should leverage the Communication Strategy to enhance their communication, outreach and
engagement efforts and rely on support from the Community Relations team to guide these efforts as needed. This includes managing departmental social media accounts, webpages, and other communications in alignment with established messaging guidelines.

Proactive Information Sharing: Departments should proactively provide updates to the community, ensuring key project
milestones, events, and initiatives are communicated early for strategic outreach.

Collaboration on Messaging: Departments should work
collaboratively with the Community Relations team if assistance is needed to refine messaging, ensuring consistency with branding and strategic goals.

Timeliness in Response: When information is requested, whether for media inquiries, council-related updates, or urgent matters, departments should prioritize a timely response to facilitate effective communication.

Accessibility and Inclusivity Considerations: Departments should ensure public communications consider accessibility, multilingual outreach, and culturally relevant messaging, reinforcing the City's commitment to inclusivity.
