Seville Street and the Williams Ranch Park is located
at 1530 Falcon Dive, both in the City of Salinas. The
Northgate Park and Williams Ranch Park are
approximately 5 acres in size each. The proposed
project consists of developing and installing universal playgrounds, including theme-oriented playground
equipment, site furnishings, and shade canopies that
are well integrated with the existing parks.

Universal playgrounds are designed to be accessible
and useable by all children, to the greatest extent
possible, without the need for adaptation or
specialized design, allowing for diversity, social
inclusion, and equality for all children. The consultant shall develop three (3) conceptual alternatives for
each park for the universal playground showing
playground layout, including equipment, site

TITLE: REALLOCATION AND APPROPRIATION OF HOME -ARP,

NATIONAL OPIOID SETTLEMENT, AND GENERAL FUNDS FOR

SALINAS OUTREACH AND RESPONSE TEAM , FAIRVIEW

HOMEKEY PROJECT , AND CHINAT OWN NAVIGATION

CENTER OPERATIONS

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a Resolution authorizing:

1. The reallocation and appropriation of $1,190,337 of HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) from the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey for the Fairview HomeKey Project, to support Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT) supportive services; and

2. The reallocation of $1,190,337 of National Opioid Settlement Funds to the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey for the Fairview Homekey Project operations; and

3. To increase an appropriation of $279,306 in revenue and $1,098,3 03 in expenses of National Opioid Settlement Funds to the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey; and

4. The reallocation and appropriation of $200,000 from Downtown Streets Team in Division 3181 to extend operations of the Chinatown Navigation Center (CNC) operations; and

5. The City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 with Community Homeless Solutions to operate the CNC through May 30, 2026, and increase the total compensation by an additional $200,000 for an amount not to exceed $3,288,278.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In February 2026, City Council allocated HOME -ARP funds through Resolution No. 2026 -023, to support services in the form of rental assistance at the Fairview Homekey Project. Since then, the Housing Authority of Monterey County (HACM) has identified an allocation of 20-year Project Based Vouchers (PBV) for the Fairview Project as of April 2026. Due to federal funding restrictions, the PBV rental assistance cannot be commingled with other federal funding (HOME- 197
Page | 2
ARP) for tenant rental assistance. Approval of the proposed reallocations and appropriations matches grant and General Fund dollars to support Fairview Homekey Project (Fairview), Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT) and Chinatown Navigation Center operations addresses this concern.

BACKGROUND:

On March 21, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 22620, adopting the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, prioritizing permanent supportive housing and supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness. Subsequently, on February 24, 2026, City Council allocated HOME- ARP funds through Resolution No. 2026-023, to support services in the form of rental assistance at the Fairview Home key Project (Fairview), a permanent supportive housing site. Fairview consists of 46 studio units currently owned by the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey and serves individuals experiencing homelessness, including those with behavioral health and other complex needs.

The Housing Authority of Monterey County and the City of Salinas meet regularly in preparation for the lease-up of Fairview and launch of supportive services. During a recent meeting, HACM notified the City of its intent to apply PBVs to the Fairview Project. As of April 2026, HACM has submitted a 20-year Project Based Voucher Housing Assistance Payments Contract to support the Fairview Project.

After speaking with HUD representatives, City staff confirmed that HOME-ARP funds cannot be used for ongoing operating costs at Fairview under the approved activity structure. Due to federal funding limitations, PBVs and HOME-ARP cannot be layered for the same eligible cost of rental assistance. To avoid delays and maintain compliance, City staff developed a funding reallocation strategy. Staff propose to reallocate funding with eligible uses as shown in Table 1 below:

Table 1
Proposed Funding
Project Current Funding Source Proposed Alternate
Funding Source
Fairview Homekey operations HOME-ARP Opioid Settlement Funds Salinas Outreach and Response
Team (SORT) operations
National Opioid
Settlement Funds

HOME-ARP
Chinatown Navigation Center
Operations
N/A DST (3181) General Fund
The available National Opioid Settlement Funds provide the necessary flexibility to support ongoing operations at the Fairview Homekey Project, including housing stabilization and services for residents with behavioral health and substance use needs. Given that the Fairview popu lation includes individuals experiencing homelessness with high rates of mental health and substance use disorders, the use of National Opioid Settlement Funds is both appropriate and aligned with the intent of the funding to address the impacts of the opioid crisis. 198
Page | 3
The proposed funding reallocation and appropriation also supports the City’s HOME -ARP Allocation Plan by prioritizing investment in eligible supportive services through SORT while ensuring that permanent supportive housing operations at Fairvi ew remain adequately resourced.

No substantial amendment is required.

The City previously anticipated the closure of the Chinatown Navigation Center in alignment with of the Fairview Homekey Project, as clients being served at the CNC are intended to be housed at the Fairview property . However, delays in the lease of Fairview has created the need to extend operations to prevent gaps in sheltering current tenants.

City staff recommend extending CNC operations through May 30, 2026, utilizing up to $200,000 in available unused funds that were originally appropriated to the Downtown Streets Team (DST) program after DST ceased operations in late 2025 . This extension will maintain critical shelter capacity during the transition period, prevent returns to unsheltered homelessness, and support continued housing placements into Fairview and other available resources.

During this period, CNC operations will be adjusted to focus on core shelter services, ensuring safety and basic needs are met, while continuing housing navigation and referral coordination.

Services will be aligned with a transition -focused approach to support clients in securing stable housing outcomes as units at Fairview become available.

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).

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

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

This action supports the City Council Strategic Plan Housing strategy of promoting housing stability and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Approving this initiative will strengthen system coordination through the Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT) and will ensure continuity of shelter and housing resources during the transition period associated with the Fairview Homekey Project.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

This agenda item was prepared by the Community Development Department in Coordination with the City Attorney , Finance Department and the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM).

199
Page | 4
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The recommended action authorizes the reallocation of $1,190,337 in HOME-ARP funds from the Fairview Homekey Project to support eligible sup portive services provided through the Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT), and the corresponding reallocation of approximately $1,098,303 in National Opioid Settlement Funds collected to -date and fund balance available for FY 2025-2026 to support the Fairview Homekey Project operations. The remaining $92,034 in National Opioid Settlement funds will be appropriated through the FY 2026 -2027 budget.

Additionally, this action authorizes the use of up to $200,000 in existing unused program funds, originally appropriated for DST, to extend operations of the Chinatown Navigation Center (CNC) through May 30, 2026. There is no additional fiscal impact on the General Fund.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: MAY 12, 2026
DEPARTMENT: FINANCE DEPARTMENT
FROM: SELINA ANDREWS, FINANCE DIRECTOR
TITLE: CONDUIT FINANCING FOR SANTA LUCIA TOWNHOMES

PROJECT

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a resolution approving the issuance of bonds by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) for the benefit of Foothill Santa Lucia, LLC (the “Borrower”), a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and an organizati on described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to provide for the financing of the Project (the acquisition and improvement of the property). Such adoption is solely for the purposes of satisfying the requi rements of TEFRA, the Code and California Government Code Section 6500 (and following).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Federal tax law requires a financing authority who is funding a project in a local jurisdiction that has its own tax -exempt authority, that the local entity must hold a Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility (TEFRA) hearing. This allows the local community to comment on the use of tax- exempt financing to support the project. There is no financial liability on the City's part . This is the only action required of the City.

Specifically, the City must conduct a public hearing under the Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act (“TEFRA”) and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) on May 1 2, 2026, in connection with the propo sed issuance of revenue bonds by the CSCDA, in an amount not to exceed $100,000,000 (the “Bonds”).

BACKGROUND:

Foothill Santa Lucia, LLC (the “Borrower”) has requested that the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (“CSCDA”) serve as the municipal issuer of tax -exempt multi-family housing revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100,000,000 (the “Bonds”). The proceeds of the Bonds will be used for the purpose of making a loan to the Borrower, to enable the Borrower to refinance the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of a 204-unit affordable multifamily housing rental project located at 589 Leslie Drive, Salinas, California (the “Project”), which will be owned and operated by the Borrower. 204
Page | 2
In order for all or a portion of the Bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City of Salinas (“City”) must conduct a public hearing (the “TEFRA Hearing”) providing the members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the Project. Adoption of the resolution is solely for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA), the Internal Revenue Code and the California Government Code Section 6500 (and following). Prior to such TEFRA Hearing, reasonable notice must be provided to the members of the community. Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing, an “applicable elected representative” of the governmental unit hosting the Project must provide its approval of the issuance of the Bonds for the financing of the Project. A public notice was published on April 30, 2026.

California Statewide Communities Development Authority

CSCDA is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities ("League") and the California State Association of Counties ("CSAC"). CSCDA was created by the League and CSAC in 1988 to enable local government and eligible private entities access to low -cost, tax- exempt financing for projects that provide a tangible public benefit, contribute to social and economic growth, and improve the overall quality of life in local communities throughout California. CSCDA is comprised of more than 530 members, including the City of Salinas, which has been a member since 1993. CSCDA has issued more than $80 billion through more than 1,800 financings since 1988.

Fiscal Impact

There is no fiscal impact to the City. The Bonds to be issued by the C SCDA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, and the City will have no financial, legal, moral obligation, liability or responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the Project. All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will contain clear disclaimers that the Bonds will be issued as limited obligations of CSCDA, payable solely from revenues and receipts derived from a loan to be made by CSCDA to the Borrower with the Bond proceeds and are not obligations of the City . The City bears no liability with respect to the issuance of the Bonds. Further, the City is not a party to any of the financing documents rela ted to the Bond issuance and is not named in any of the disclosure documents describing the Bonds or the proposed financing.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City 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.

to our community and officers
As a department, we are committed to prioritize:

Public Safety Strategy: Developing innovative approaches to reduce crime and improve the quality of life for all residents.

Community Partnerships: Strengthening relationships by engaging, educating, and empowering our community to be part of the process and solutions.

Workforce Development: Recruiting and retaining talented officers and staff while providing the resources and mentorship needed for career growth and exceptional service.

Training and Excellence: Investing in training and development to ensure our team is equipped, compassionate, and prepared to meet the complexities of modern, community-centered policing. - 2 - 215
We also expanded our community engagement and youth‑development efforts. We reached 25,308 community members (a 735% increase since 2023) across 115 events; however, this number does not reflect the commanders, sergeants, officers, and professional staff who contribute countless hours to community service throughout the year. Additionally, our Youth Cadet Program grew to 35 cadets, and our new Youth Diversion Program saw 15 youth complete the program, with seven still enrolled at year’s end.

Beyond community engagement, SPD continues to lead the region in forensic technology. Our Department houses the ATF‑operated NIBIN Firearms Lab—the only one between San Jose and Ventura—providing rapid ballistic analysis that strengthens violent‑crime investigations across the Central Coast.

Our work remains grounded in proactive, community‑centered policing. By partnering with local organizations, businesses, neighboring agencies, and community members, we build safer neighborhoods rooted in trust and shared responsibility. I remain committed to leading a department defined by honesty, innovation, and accountability—one that protects every person with dignity and respect as we continue building a safer, stronger Salinas.

Sincerely,
Carlos Acosta, Police Chief

This year, the Salinas Police Department made meaningful progress in strengthening trust and enhancing public safety. I am proud of the professionalism and dedication our staff
demonstrate every day in service to this community.

In 2025, our departmen t removed 268 firearms from our streets and achieved significant reductions in nearly every Part I crime category. Our homicide solve rate has reached 86%—well above the national average—reflecting the skill, coordination, and persistence of our investigators, patrol officers, professional staff, analysts, and support teams. These results represent safer neighborhoods and justice for victims and families.

and continuous improvement. I prioritize listening to our community, supporting our officers with meaningful training and resources, and forging partnerships with community organizations, schools, and local businesses. By emphasizing transparency, data‑driven decision making, and respect for all people, we aim to strengthen public trust while delivering effective, compassionate policing.

This past year, we expanded training, improved transparency and accountability, invested in technology that supports community trust, and strengthened partnerships with local organizations. Our Division Commanders and staff have worked tirelessly to turn strategy into measurable results, and I am proud of the progress we’ve made.

Thank you to our officers, staff, community partners, and the people of Salinas for your continued trust and collaboration. Together we will keep Salinas safe, resilient, and united.

In service,
Luis Bravo, Assistant Chief of Police
It is my honor to share an update for the Salinas Police Department’s Annual Report. Working alongside Chief Carlos Acosta, our focus has been on building trust, strengthening oversight, responsible use of technology, community policing and crime reduction, training and education, and officer wellness and safety. These priorities guide our decisions and shape the programs we deliver.

My commitment to this community has always been deeply
personal. I was born in Mexico, raised in Monterey County, and began serving as a reserve officer in 1994. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to servant leadership, accountability, Luis Bravo

Patrol Beats and Command
Oversight
The Salinas Police Department deploys
officers by geographic beats each shift so
they focus on a defined Area of
Responsibility (AOR), increasing visibility,
shortening travel time, and helping
officers learn normal daily activity—
advantages for timely response and
crime prevention.

SQUARE MILES

area patrol map
strategic deployment. reliable response.

Command Assignment
Each beat is supervised by a designated
commander (Watch Commander or
Patrol Sergeant) who coordinates
resources, ensures consistent staffing,
and provides accountability; command-
level ownership speeds decisions and
improves coordination with specialty
units and community partners.

Community Impact
Beat assignments let officers build
one‑on‑one relationships with residents,
businesses, and local organizations,
strengthening trust and making
problem‑solving more effective; paired
with focused command oversight, the
beat model improves response, fosters
collaboration, and supports long‑term
neighborhood resilience.
“When officers take ownership
of a beat, they build trust that
strengthens everyone’s safety.

Strong oversight keeps us
aligned and responsive. That
partnership drives real impact.”

Online report volume shifted in 2025 as the redesigned PD website routes users to the correct reporting channel (SPD or SalinasConnect). 227 The Salinas Police Department closely tracks response times for high-priority calls, measuring the time from dispatch to an officer’s arrival for emergencies and serious crimes requiring immediate action. In 2025, 89% of Priority 1 calls had an officer on scene within 3 minutes or less. Priority 1 calls indicate an emergency response, and Priority 2 calls indicate an immediate response. During the year, the Department recorded 133,086 calls for service and 2,735 arrests, reflecting operational activity across patrol and investigative units.

Homelessness remained a significant cha llenge
in Salinas throughout 2025, with the City
Council addressing rising needs, funding gaps,
and the strain on local service programs. As the
City continues to serve nearly half of Monterey
County’s homeless population, shelters,
outreach teams, and emergency services fac e
increasing pressure.

While SPD is not the lead agency on
homelessness, the issue directly affects daily
operations. This impact is reflected in the 3,005
calls handled by the Salinas Police
Department’s Homeless Outreach Team (HOT),
many involving welfare checks,
behavioral‑health concerns, disturbances, and
safety issues near service sites.

Officers continue to work closely with Mobile
Crisis Response Teams, county clinicians, and
outreach partners to ensure individuals receive
the appropriate care rather than unnecessary
enforcement.

The Salinas Police Department’s Victim
Services Program includes a dedicated Victim
Advocate who supports the needs and rights of
crime victims.

Prioritizing victims of violent crimes—including
anyone who may be homeless— such as
domestic violence, homicide, sexual assault,
and human trafficking, the program assists all
victims and their families with crisis
intervention, emotional support, advocacy,
referrals, and guidance through the criminal
justice process, reflecting SPD’s commitment
to partnership and improved victim services.

The Aerial Support Unit uses Unmanned

drones, to assist public safety operations in
a fast, efficient manner—providing
helicopter‑like capabilities at a fraction of the
cost. Staffed by six officers under a sergeant
and commander, deployments have
consistently risen since the creation of the
Unit.

UAVs are utilized in multiple ways such as
search and rescue operations (missing
persons), suspect identification and
apprehension, and crime and accident scene
reconstruction.

In 2025, we had an 11% increase in

Homicides dropped from 11 in 2023 to 6 in 2024—a 45.5% decrease—and while we experienced one additional homicide in 2025, six of the seven cases have been solved, reflecting strong investigative performance. Robberies also had a slight increase, but all other major categories declined. These trends highlight meaningful progress and reinforce the value of focused, collaborative efforts among law enforcement, local leaders, and the community at large to continue strengthening public safety.

Homicides
In 2025, Salinas recorded seven homicides, up from
six in 2024. While any loss of life is devastating—
especially the death of a 14‑year‑old student—this
single‑year increase follows several years of overall
decline and remains well below the peaks seen in
prior decades.

The Department credits sustained reductions to
stronger community partnerships, targeted
prevention programs for at‑risk youth, and
improved investigative work that raised the
homicide clearance rate to 86%. Continued
community reporting and cooperation have been
essential to that progress.

We recognize that our community plays a critical
role in preventing violence. Please report erratic or
dangerous driving or suspicious activity to police.

Timely tips help officers intervene sooner, protect
vulnerable people, and prevent future tragedies.

Recruitment and retention remain top priorities
for the Salinas Police Department. Despite
ongoing challenges, we made strong progress—
increasing recruits and reducing officer vacancies
from 22 at the end of 2024 to 14 at the end of
2025. We also grew our sworn staff from 128 on
January 1, 2025, to 143 by December 31, 2025,
marking a significant step forward.

This progress reflects the work of a dedicated
recruitment team, a new recruitment website, a
media campaign, and our strong reputation.

Because staffing levels directly affect wellness,
response times, and overall efficiency, we remain
focused on attracting top talent and ensuring
officers receive the training and support they
need.

Retaining experienced officers is equally critical.

In 2025, we strengthened retention strategies
and continued building a supportive environment
to maintain a committed workforce. Learn more

At the Salinas Police Department, many of our
employees begin their careers in entry‑level roles and
progress into new positions as they refine their
expertise and embrace increased responsibility.

This year, we proudly highlight Sergeant Anthony
Garcia, whose career reflects the strength of that
pathway. He began as a Community Service Aide (CSA)
with SPD in 2004, advanced to Community Service
Officer (CSO), then became a sworn officer, and was
recently promoted to sergeant. His latest
advancement—captured in this photo while his son
assists during his pinning—represents the dedication,
perseverance, and commitment found throughout our
department.

Community Service Officers remain an essential part of
this journey for many. CSOs support critical operations such as traffic control, non‑injury collisions, missing persons reports, abandoned vehicles, and public
events, allowing sworn officers to focus on urgent calls for service. Their work builds strong community
relationships and helps identify neighborhood
concerns early. For some, like Sergeant Garcia, the CSO role becomes a stepping‑stone to new opportunities;
for others, it is a fulfilling long‑term career.

We value and support our employees, recognizing that
every role contributes to the safety and strength of our community. Pathways like Sergeant Garcia’s
demonstrate SPD’s dedication to cultivating future
leaders and investing in the people who serve Salinas.

S A L I N A S P O L I C E D E P A R T M E N T 2 0 2 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T The Salinas Police Department advanced its
long‑term effort to dismantle violent organized
crime through Operation Dead End, a multi‑agency
RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations) nvestigation in which SPD served
as a core investigative partner with Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI), the U.S. Attorney’s
Office for the Northern District of California,
Monterey District Attorney’s office, and CDCR’s
Office of Correctional Safety. After the initial
federal indictment in April 2024, a superseding
federal indictment filed in December 2025 added
seven additional defendants tied to the Salinas
Acosta Plaza Norteños (SAP Norteños) gang.

Federal prosecutors allege the conspiracy involved
11 murders, 14 attempted murders, drug
trafficking, firearms offenses, armed robberies, a
firebombing, and numerous shootings between
2014 and 2024. During the second phase of
Operation Dead End, 11 suspected gang members
were arrested. Nine were previously arrested in
2024. The investigation remains active, and SPD
continues to work closely with federal and state
partners as new developments occur.

Operation Dead End underscores SPD’s
commitment to prevention, peace, and justice
through coordinated, intelligence‑driven
enforcement. Alongside removing dangerous
individuals and weapons, SPD remains focused on
prevention, community engagement, and victim
support to strengthen safety in Salinas.

Loggins Drug Trafficking Organization — Case
Summary
In late 2024, the Salinas Police Department’s
Violence Suppression Task Force (VSTF) began
investigating a large‑scale Drug Trafficking
Organization (DTO) that operated across Salinas
— especially in the area of Chinatown —
distributing methamphetamine, fentanyl, heroin,
and other narcotics while exploiting vulnerable,
unhoused residents.

Investigation
VSTF identified a coordinated runner network
moving drugs from Southern California to Salinas,
with the suspects following in separate vehicles.

Packaging and stamp markings suggested ties to
Mexican cartel associates. Investigators also
found the DTO was collecting EBT cards and PINs
from customers, allowing them to drain public
assistance funds. This exploitation deepened the
harm to already vulnerable people we are called to
protect and serve.

Enforcement and Arrests
Multiple enforcement stops and search warrants
resulted in repeated seizures of narcotics, cash,
and evidence. Continued on next page...

from addiction and preyed on vulnerable
residents, disrupting both street‑level distribution
and the financial systems sustaining the DTO.

Ongoing Commitment
SPD continues working with federal, state, and
local partners and remains committed to
enforcement paired with prevention, treatment,
and social‑service strategies to address the root
causes of addiction and violence.
“Operation Logged Out dismantled
a major drug trafficking network,

Cases featured in this Annual Report exemplify
how SPD’s team work together at all levels - from

It also shows how fortunate our Department is to
have the state-of-the-art Crime Lab, which plays
a vital role in the criminal justice process by
identifying or linking evidence in crimes to an
individual or crime scene.

We can process for fingerprints, DNA, and other
biological evidence. The lab consists of equipment
like alternative light source systems, fuming
chambers, photography equipment, and secure
evidence storage, and both the Crime Lab and
Crime Scene Investigations (CSI) unit are
comprised of both sworn and non-sworn staff.
cold case: decades-old homicide solved in 2025
In 2025, the Salinas Police Department achieved a
major milestone with the resolution of a
decades‑old homicide. The case involved the 1982
killing of local nightclub owner Cruz Gomez, a
crime that had remained unsolved for more than
forty years. Advances in DNA technology allowed
investigators to re‑examine preserved evidence,
ultimately linking it to longtime susupect Saul STATE-OF-THE-ART crime lab:
letting evidence tell the story
Ramirez, who was already incarcerated on an
unrelated matter. Through collaboration among
detectives, forensic specialists, and partner
agencies, the Cold Case Unit advanced a case
that had long impacted the community. The
breakthrough underscores the department’s
commitment to pursuing justice, no matter how
much time has passed.

Salinas Police Department also maintains a
Firearms lab in partnership with the Federal
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives (ATF). In 1997, the ATF established the
National Integrated Ballistic Information Network
(NIBIN) to provide local, state, tribal and federal
law enforcement partners with an automated
ballistic imaging network.

This technology is vital to any violent crime
reduction strategy because it enables
investigators to match ballistics evidence with
other cases across the nation. This process also
helps reveal previously hidden connections
between violent crimes in different states and
jurisdictions.

The ATF maintains and operates NIBIN’s
infrastructure at our Department at no charge to
law enforcement partners, and since 2001, the
Salinas Police Department has housed the NIBIN
Lab. Having this NIBIN Lab between Ventura and
San Jose makes this a very valuable regional
asset. Together, this partnership ensures that
critical ballistic evidence is rapidly analyzed and
shared, which strengthens violent‑crime
investigations across the region.

The Salinas Police Department’s Special
Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team is a highly
trained unit that resolves incidents too
hazardous or complex for regular responders,
prioritizing the preservation of human life.

SWAT officers specialize in Active Shooter
Intervention, ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform,
Counter, Evacuate), and less lethal munitions,
while also training the community and other
city departments in active shooter response.

As a regional tactical asset, the team
supports neighboring areas through mutual
aid and continues to train for high-risk
operations in line with Salinas PD’s
commitment to superior, professional, and
compassionate service.

The mission of the Hostage Negotiation Team (HNT) is the preservation of life during crisis incidents.

Team members receive specialized training in crisis intervention, communication, and de‑escalation to secure safe resolutions in hostage, barricade, and suicidal‑threat situations.

HNT continues to strengthen its capabilities through ongoing scenario‑based training, collaboration with regional partners, and preparation for high‑stress incidents. The team plays a critical role in resolving volatile events safely, supporting victims and families, and reducing the likelihood of force.

Their work reflects the Department’s commitment to thoughtful, measured responses during the most challenging situations.

We know being a police officer entails so much more than being a first responder for calls. We understand the great responsibility that comes with being a role model for our community's youth.

The Salinas Police Department invests in these relationships through youth programs and community events. Our hope is to impact a child's life - any child - in a powerful, transformative way.

SIGNATURE PROGRAMS
The Salinas Police Department invests deeply in youth through mentorship, leadership development, and year‑round engagement. Our Youth Cadet Program continues to grow rapidly, with 35 cadets in 2025. PAL provides free programs for youth ages 5–18, promoting teamwork, integrity, and positive connections with officers, and youth engagement remains a core priority, reflected in events such as the First Day of School Red Carpet, Santa’s Express, National Night Out, Cops & Conversations, Autism Awareness Month, Open Houses, and other events.

New in 2025, the RISE Youth Diversion Program
(Restoration | Intervention | Strength | Education)
provides restorative, community‑based
alternatives to arrest. The program connects
youth with counseling, mentorship, and tailored
support to help them address challenges without
entering the court system.

The Salinas Police Outreach Team (SPOT) is devoted to a wide range of community policing and outreach activities focused on:

Prevention
Intervention
Education
SPOT is dedicated to fostering positive police-community relations through effective communication, comprehensive programs, strategic partnerships, and volunteer opportunities. We believe that by building strong relationships and collaborating closely, our residents and law enforcement officers can establish a foundation rooted in trust and quality service. Our initiatives include implementing youth prevention programs, proactively addressing public safety concerns, launching a new Youth Diversion Program designed to offer kids a second chance, and giving presentations to organizations.

Although we already had administration staff and officers who regularly volunteered their time to give presentations and participate in school or community events, the development and expansion of SPOT has enabled the Department to make a much bigger impact in our community.

Our SPOT team includes an administrative analyst, two community outreach assistants and two police officers on a collateral basis. Additional oversight is provided by the Police Services Administrator, a Sergeant, a Commander, and the Chief of Police. Numerous SPD professional staff and officers also volunteer their time to this worthwhile mission, and the feedback from the youth and community has been extremely positive. SPOT is making a difference in our community! “SPOT” Community and youth Engagement

The Salinas Police Department launched
Holiday Magic, a new citywide event that
brought families together for free photos
with Santa at several locations across
Salinas. The Salinas Police Outreach Team
(SPOT) sponsored and organized the event,
helping ensure each stop was welcoming,
festive, and accessible to families
throughout the community.

In addition to the photo events, SPD also
sponsored a citywide toy giveaway, a
tradition originally started by Commander
Gerardo Magaña. What began as his
personal effort to bring joy to local children
has grown into a department‑wide initiative,
with professional staff, officers, sergeants,
and commanders all participating each
December. SPD also partnered with several
community organizations to collect,
organize, and distribute toys to families
across Salinas.

While the SPOT team is pictured throughout
this section, Holiday Magic and the annual
toy giveaway reflect the collective
commitment of the entire Department. Staff
from every division volunteer their time for
outreach, educational programs, and
community celebrations year‑round, helping
strengthen trust and connection with the
families they serve.

In July 2025, seven Salinas Police
Youth Cadets completed the
three‑week Santa Clara Summer
Law Enforcement Youth Cadet
Academy in Morgan Hill, enduring
early mornings, late nights, and
rigorous hands ‑on training in first
aid/CPR, patrol procedures, officer
safety, communications, law
enforcement powers, and
corrections fundamentals.

The academy blends classroom
instruction with scenario ‑based
exercises to deepen practical
knowledge and prepare cadets for
real‑world challenges, while
emphasizing leadership,
responsibility, teamwork, ethical
decision‑making, and confidence —
qualities that will serve them
whether they pursue careers in law
enforcement or community
leadership.

One cadet earned the Top Female

to exceptional dedication and
conditioning; we’re proud of their
commitment and excited to watch
these young leaders grow.

CSO Reyes’ work ethic and productivity stand out across the department. He routinely arrives early, contributes to positive briefing environments, and consistently exceeds expectations.

Since the start of the year, he has authored 137 initial reports, completed 35 supplemental investigations, and handled 9 collision reports, all while volunteering for overtime to maintain service levels and support vehicle‑abatement operations. His initiative was especially evident during a March 2025 commercial‑burglary follow‑up, where his proactive BOL alert (Be On the Lookout) helped identify and lead to the arrest of a repeat theft and fraud suspect.

Beyond his technical contributions, CSO Reyes strengthens team cohesion by organizing activities that build morale and create a supportive work environment. His simple statement —“I always try to do my job as best I can”—captures the mindset he brings to every shift:
humble, conscientious, and committed to excellence.

Officer Joseph Marfia
& Officer Jared Reyes
On October 26, 2024, officers responded Code 3 to a large fight on Eagle Drive where weapons were reportedly involved. While responding, Officer Steven Villaneda was struck by another vehicle at the intersection of East Market Street and Williams Road, causing his patrol car to hit a pole and roll several times before coming to rest on its roof.

Officer Villaneda was unconscious and suffering from a severe head injury when Officers Joseph Marfia and Jared Reyes arrived. They immediately began lifesaving care, with Officer Marfia applying direct pressure to control heavy bleeding while Officer Reyes stabilized his cervical spine to prevent further injury.

Throughout the incident, both officers remained calm and focused, communicating with Officer Villaneda as he regained consciousness and keeping him stable until Salinas Fire and AMR arrived. They provided a full medical assessment to paramedics, and Officer Marfia continued applying direct pressure while accompanying him to Natividad Medical Center.

Medical staff later confirmed that their swift actions prevented life‑threatening blood loss and minimized additional neck and spine injuries. Officers Marfia and Reyes demonstrated
exceptional courage, professionalism, and decisive lifesaving care, earning recognition with the Outstanding Police Duty Award.

Officer Christopher Webb is recognized with the Outstanding Police Duty Award for his exceptional performance during a critical incident on May 16, 2025. Officers responded to a violent domestic assault in which the suspect stabbed his girlfriend and fled with his seven‑year‑old child, using the child as a hostage. After a multi‑agency pursuit involving the California Highway Patrol, the suspect’s vehicle was stopped in heavy traffic, leading to a tense standoff in which he
threatened to kill himself and the child.

Serving as the primary hostage negotiator, Officer Webb demonstrated remarkable composure, tactical awareness, and emotional intelligence. He quickly established rapport with the volatile suspect, maintaining steady communication while officers prepared a plan to safely intervene. When the suspect extended his hand for a handshake, Officer Webb recognized the critical opening and acted decisively, allowing officers to pull the suspect from the vehicle and take him into custody without further violence.

Officer Webb’s calm under pressure, sound judgment, and ability to connect with a dangerous individual directly contributed to the safe rescue of the child, who was unharmed.

His professionalism and courage throughout this high‑risk incident reflect the highest standards of the Salinas Police Department and exemplify the qualities honored by the
Outstanding Police Duty Award.

TITLE: RENTAL REGISTRATION AND RENT STABILIZATION

QUARTERLY UPDATE

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

No action required. Receive an administrative report on the Residential Rental Registration and Rent Stabilization Program implementation activities.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This report provides a quarterly update to the City Council on the implementation of the Residential Rental Registration and Rent Stabilization Program for the period of January 1 through March 31, 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, the program continued to support compliance with local and state housing regulations and strengthen tenant protections through data collection and proactive education and outreach.

DISCUSSION:

During the first quarter of 2026, staff activities were organized around three primary workstreams that guided implementation of the Rental Registration and Rent Stabilization Program. First, staff concentrated on expanding property‑owner enrollment and verification within the Rental Registry, conducting targeted outreach, and issuing renewal and delinquency notices . Second, staff supported compliance with the City’s rent stabilization requirements, including assisting landlords and tenants with understanding allowable rent increase limits, processing petitions, and coordinating with the third-party Hearing Officer to ensure consistent application of the ordinance.

Third, staff advanced public‑facing communication tools, improv ed website content, refined multilingual materials, and collaborat ed with community partners to strengthen community outreach about the program obligations applicable to landlords and tenant s. Operational improvements implemented this quarter include updates to the online registration portal and 309

streamlined workflows for processing exemption requests (Exhibit A – Tolemi Feature and Improvement List).

Registration Activity and Revenue
From January 1 to March 31, 2026, 8,376 rental units have been registered, which represents 27% of estimated rentals. Revenue collected to date totals $754,568 of the established 2026 Program Revenue of $1,191,465. Annual revenue was based on a 45% participation target. Table 1 below provides a summary of registered units and fees collected from January 1 to March 31, 2026.

Program timelines were affected by an unexpected vendor delay related to mailing the Notice of Delinquency. Although the Notice was printed on February 20, 2026, it was not mailed. This prompted Tolemi to identify a new mailing distributor and re-issue the Notice on March 27, 2026.

To ensure fairness for property owners, staff extended the grace period associated with the delinquency notice; the revised deadline is now May 12, 2026.

During the first quarter of 2026, program operations were adversely impacted by several technology-related constraints within the Tolemi Slate platform. The system’s current workflow architecture prevents multiple registrations or petitions from being initiated for the same property, a safeguard intended to reduce duplication , but one that has created delays for users managing multiple petition types. Tolemi h as acknowledged this limitation and is evaluating modifications for inclusion in its product roadmap. At this time, staff can initiate a petition workflow on behalf of a landlord and then transfer it to the appropriate account as a temporary workaround.

Landlord and Tenant Petitions
Petition activity in early 2026 reflects a balanced mix of landlord and tenant filings, including 1 rent increase and 7 rent reduction petitions submitted, with an additional 5 petitions pending review. Several petitions submitted in late 2025 were carried into this year due to petition completeness requirements, resulting in 3 decisions being issued during the first quarter of 2026.

To date, 3 rent increase and 4 rent reduction petitions have been completed, alongside several withdrawals, and both petition types currently have one active appeal. In accordance with program requirements, the Hearing Officer has up to 60 days to issue a decision once the City Attorney 310
Page | 3
determines a petition is complete, and up to 90 days for rent increase petitions following the City Attorney’s completeness determination and payment submission when applicable. This volume demonstrates steady engagement with the City’s rent stabilization processes and continued reliance on administrative review to resolve rent related disputes. Table 2 below provides a petition summary.

Staff will continue to prioritize compliance monitoring and expand multilingual outreach to include other indigenous languages . These efforts will support evidence‑based policy decisions and ensure the program remains accessible, equitable, and effective for both tenants and property owners.

Community Engagement and Outreach
During the first quarter of 2026, staff continued expanding public‑facing education and support to ensure both tenants and landlords understand their rights and responsibilities under the Rental Registration and Rent Stabilization Program. In collaboration with Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO), the City has provided a series of Fair Housing workshops across all City Council districts. These sessions were well attended by both tenants and landlords and focused on rent stabilization r equirements, allowable rent increases, petition procedures, and general Fair Housing protections.

In addition to formal workshops, staff delivered ongoing education and assistance through multiple service channels, including phone consultations, in‑person counter support, and email guidance.

These touchpoints have become a critical component of day‑to‑day engagement, helping residents navigate registration requirements, understand petition options, and access multilingual materials.

Looking ahead, staff ar e coordinating with Centro Binacional para el Desarrollo Indígena Oaxaqueño (CBDIO) to expand culturally responsive outreach in other indigenous languages .

Planned efforts include developing community‑specific language resources, improving language accessibility, and hosting targeted informational sessions to ensure indigenous communities have equitable access to program information and support.

Throughout the quarter, staff continued proactive outreach to landlords to support successful registration and compliance, including direct email notifications, mailed reminders, social media updates, and targeted phone assistance for owners needing additional guidance. As part of broader stakeholder outreach, multiple meetings w ere held with landlords and property management companies to listen to their concerns regarding the petition process. Participa nts committed to 311

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, P.E., L.S., PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR BY: JONATHAN ESTEBAN, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
ADRIANA ROBLES, P.E., C.F.M., CITY ENGINEER
TITLE: AWARD OF THE BRIDGE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
PROGRAM, BPMPL 5045(046), PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
PHASE TO BKF ENGINEERS.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a resolution:

1. Awarding a contract to BKF Engineers for preliminary engineering and construction support of the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program, BPMPL 5045(046) in an amount not to exceed $282,509 from May 19, 2026, to December 31, 2027; and

2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement and/or modifications to the Agreement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Salinas has received Federal Highway Bridge Program funds for the preliminary engineering phase of the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program (BPMP), BPMPL 5045 (046).

The funds are programmed for preventive maintenance work for the East Market Street and South Sanborn Road bridges. In coordination with Caltrans, the City published a Request for Proposals in February 2026 and received one proposal from BKF Engineers (formerly MNS Engineers). City staff recommends City Council approve a resolution awarding a contract to BKF Engineers for the preliminary engineering and construction support for the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program.

BACKGROUND:

On March 7, 2017, City Council approved Resolution No. 21133 accepting $40,000 grant from Caltrans to write the Bridge Preventative Maintenance Plan for qualified City bridges1. The BPMP was submitted to Caltrans for funding of Preliminary Engineering and Construction.

The City of Salinas was notified by the State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in October 2024 that Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds for Preliminary Engineering of the City’s Bridge

1 Qualified City Bridges are bridges owned and maintained by the Local Agency in the State Bridge Inspection Inventory. These are bridges with spans greater than 20LF per the National Bridge Inspection Standards. 324
Page | 2
Preventative Maintenance Program (BPMP), Project N o. BPMPL-5045(046), in the amount of $336,399, were available. This requires a 20% local match by the City of $84,100. Thus, a total estimate of $420,499.

The City’s BPMP outlines preventative maintenance work recommendations for each of the City’s fifteen qualified bridges, inspected by Caltrans to increase the service life of each bridge. There are 5 City bridges within the BPMP with work recommendations that qualify for these funds.

Preliminary Engineering includes environmental clearances (CEQA and NEPA), field surveys and preparation of construction documents for bidding.

On October 8, 2024, City Council approved Resolution No. 23119 accepting the $338,399 grant for the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program.

The five (5) bridges qualified for funding were split into BPMPL 5045(046) and BPMPL 5045(047). Currently, the City has approval from Caltrans to move forward with the preliminary engineering for BPMPL 5045(046).

The following three (3) bridges are qualified under BPMPL 5046(046):

 South Sanborn Road over UPRR & AMTRAK (Bridge No. 44C039R)  South Sanborn Road over UPRR & AMTRAK (Bridge No. 44C039L)  East Market Street over East Front Street (Bridge No. 44C0168)

Following approval of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for BPMPL 5045(046) by Caltrans, t he City published the RFP on February 24, 2026, with a proposal due date of March 18, 2026. The City received one responsive proposal from BKF Engineers (formerly MNS Engineers). The proposal was reviewed based on the selection criteria listed in the RFP.

Based on review of the proposal, staff recommend awarding the contract to BKF Engineers (formerly MNS Engineers) in the amount of $282,509 for the preliminary engineering phase and construction support for BPMPL 5045(046).

The project is federally funded by the Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program (BPMP) under the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and therefore all documents must comply with federal requirements and Caltrans policies and procedures as outlined in the latest Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).

B. Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after issuance of the final audit report, CONSULTANT may request a review by LOCAL AGENCY’S Chief Financial Officer of unresolved audit issues. The request for review will be submitted in writing.

C. Neither the pendency of a dispute nor its consideration by LOCAL AGENCY will excuse CONSULTANT from full and timely performance, in accordance with the terms of this AGREEMENT.

D. CONSULTANT and subconsultant AGREEMENTs, including cost proposals and Indirect Cost Rates (ICR), may be subject to audits or reviews such as, but not limited to, an AGREEMENT audit, an incurred cost audit, an ICR Audit, or a CPA ICR audit work paper review.

The AGREEMENT, cost proposal, and ICR shall be adjusted by CONSULTANT and approved by LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the audit or review recommendations. CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the audit report shall be incorporated into the AGREEMENT by this reference if directed by LOCAL AGENCY at its sole discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review recommendations, or to ensure that the federal, LOCAL AGENCY or local governments have access to CPA work papers, will be considered a breach of AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

E. CONSULTANT’s Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit by the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI). IOAI, at its sole discretion, may review and/or audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation. The Cost Proposal shall be adjusted by the CONSULTANT and approved by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report. Refusal by the CONSULTANT to incorporate the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

1. During IOAI’s review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT’s independent CPA, IOAI will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR (e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines) is received and approved by IOAI.

Any violation of these provisions shall subject the violating CONSULTANT or subconsultant to the penalties, sanctions, and remedies specified in Section 3321 of the California Civil Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative or judicial remedies, otherwise available to CONSULTANT or subconsultant in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by CONSULTANT, deficient subconsultant performance and/or noncompliance by a subconsultant. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subconsultants.
