BY: JONATHAN MOORE, SENIOR PLANNER
TITLE: ZONING CODE UPDATE PHASE 1 – AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTERS 17 (HOUSING) AND 37 (ZONING) OF

THE SALINAS MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALIGN WITH STATE AND

FEDERAL LAW AND ADDRESS SHORT TERM PRIORITIES
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to find the attached Ordinance exempt as a “common-sense” exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3); and adopt the Ordinance amending Chapter 17 Article IV of the Salinas Municipal Code (Housing) and amending various provisions of Chapter 37 of the Salinas Municipal Code (Zoning).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Salinas ’ Zoning Code had its last comprehensive update a dopted in 2006 following the 2002 General Plan. As the City is in the process of completing a comprehensive General Plan Update (GPU) and adopted a new Housing Element in December of 2023, the City launched a multi-phase Zoning Code Update (ZCU) in 2025. This Phase 1 ordinance would amend Chapters 17 (Housing) and 37 (Zoning) of the Salinas Municipal Code for compliance with State housing law, the City’s Housing Element, other state and federal legal compliance requirements, and some priority items that do not need to wait for completion of the GPU . The Planning Commission approved a resolution on July 15, 2026, recommending adoption of the Phase 1 ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

The City launched a comprehensive General Plan update, Visión Salinas 2040, in the summe r of 2021, adopted its 2023-2031 Housing Element (Housing Element) in December of 2023 to comply with statutory deadlines, and anticipates the release of the full draft General Plan in the summer of 20 P a g e | 2
2026. The City also started its comprehensive Zoning Code Update (ZCU) in 2025, to coincide with the completion of, and eventually to implement, the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update.

The ZCU is split into three phases to address immediate needs, ensure consistency with the General Plan Update once adopted, while ultimately developing a new code.

The Phase 1 Zoning Code Update Ordinance ( Phase 1 ordinance) makes mandatory changes for compliance with state law prior to completion of the General Plan Update and addresses priority optional items that do not need to wait for the full overhaul. The draft Phase 1 ordinance is provided as Attachment 1. Programs 4, 6, 7, and 14 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element include actions that require amendments to the Salinas Municipal Code for compliance with changes in state law. Other legal compliance items include removing religious assembly restrictions on the ground floor of buildings in the Central City Overlay District, as other assembly uses are allowed, and adding regulations for food related home occupations permitted by state law.

Phase 1 also addresses two Zoning Code topics which are not related to legal compliance but are frequently cited by customers for causing frustrations. The first is the Minor Conditional Use Permit requirement for increasing driveway widths on single -family home properties, and the second is limits to accessory office space in industrial districts. Phase 1 proposes changes to increase flexibility for applicants in both instances with standards that still seek to enforce the intent of t hose sections. The City held two Planning Commission study sessions on Phase 1 amendments which give more background on these topics, linked below.

 Link to Phase 1 study session on changes in State housing law – December 3,2025.  Link to Phase 1 study session on options amendments – May 20, 2026.

Phase 2 will include bridge amendments to make the current Zoning Code consistent with t he General Plan Update, once the latter is adopted, and objective design standards for residential development. Completion of Phase 2 is anticipated by mid-2027, but exact timing will depend on adoption of the General Plan Update. Phase 3 is the completion of a new and revised Zoning Code.

The new Zoning Code will be easier to use for the public and staff, visually rich with easily shareable graphics, and streamlined development processing that is consistent with community needs and vision. This also includ es fully implementing relevant portions of the General Plan Update. Completion of Phase 3 is anticipated by the end of 2027. Both Phases 2 and 3 will include extensive public engagement and participation as outlined in the Planning Commission and City Council study sessions linked below.

Zoning Code Update Phase 1 Draft Ordinance Summary:

The draft Phase 1 ordinance (Attachment 1) shows text or images being removed as struck through (example), and text or images being added as underlined (example). The draft ordinance only shows changes to the code and does not contain the full text of either chapter being amended (Chapter 17 and Chapter 37) of the Salinas Municipal Code. These chapters are linked below for reference when reviewing the draft ordinance:

 Link to Chapter 17. -Housing, Article IV .-Reasonable Accommodation for Persons with Disabilities
 Link to Chapter 37.-Zoning

Phase 1 amendments to the Salinas Municipal Code made through the draft ordinance include the following:

Mandatory Housing Element implementation/state housing law compliance:

To Chapter 17.-Housing:
 Amend Chapter 17 Article IV Reasonable Accommodation to create an objective process for persons with disabilities to seek modifications to housing regulations for equal access to housing to comply with the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.

To Chapter 37.-Zoning:
 Update definitions and add terms in Article I Division 2.  Amend the purpose statement, use classifications table, additional use regulations, design standards, and/or footnotes in the Agricultural, Residential, Commercial, Mixed Use, Industrial, Public/Semipublic, New Urbanism, (Article III Divisions 1-5, and 7-8).  Amend the supple mental regulations in Article V Division 1 regarding density bonus, employee housing, two -unit development, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and emergency shelters.
 Remove garage/covered parking requirement for certain residential uses in Article V Division 2. This does not change overall number of spaces required.

Other mandatory legal compliance (Chapter 37 only):

 Amend the purpose statement of Article IV , Division 5. Central City Overlay District and amended use classifications to remove ground floor r estrictions of places of religious assembly facing Main Street to comply with the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.
 Amend the supplemental regulations in Article V Division 1 to allow Cottage Food and Microenterprise Home Kitch en Operations in home occupations as permitted in the California Retail Code through the California Homemade Food Act of 2013 (Assembly Bill 1616) and Assembly Bill 626 of 2018.

Optional priority items (Chapter 37 only):

22 P a g e | 4
 Remove the requirement for a Minor Conditional Use Permit and add additional standards for driveway width increases for single-family homes in Article V Division 2.  Amend the allowed square footage for accessory offices in Article III Division 5.  Increase the time allowed for seasonal pr oduct sales (Christmas trees, pumpkins, etc.) under the Temporary Use of Land regulations in Article V Division 1.  Incorporate additional editorial and non-substantive wording updates.

July 15 Planning Commission Hearing:

On July 15, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Phase 1 ordinance (link to public hearing meeting materials). Staff introduced a proposed change on the time period of Christmas tree sales as a temporary use of land, which would increase the allowed duration from Thanksgiving Day and December 31, to November 1 and December 31 , to reflect market trends for longer promotional periods around holidays. The Planning Commission was open to extending the allowed duration for Christmas tree sales and asked if for fairness the duration of pumpkin patches should also be extended. The Planning Commission discussed mirroring the regulations of the County of Monterey on Christmas tree sales if less restrictive than the proposed November 1 to December 31 duration. The Planning Commission did not propose other changes to the Phase 1 ordinance.

The Planning Commission voted 5-0 (with two members absent) to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2026-007, recommending that City Council adopt the Phase 1 ordinance, with changes extending the time for Christmas tree sales mirroring the County of Monterey’s if applicable, and find it exempt from CEQA as a common-sense exemption.

Upon further research, staff determined that the County of Monterey did not have directly equivalent regulations on Christmas tree sales as a temporary use of land . Incorporated communities in the region varied between less and more restrictive durations for Christmas tree sales. The attached Phase 1 ordinance proposes extending the duration of Christmas tree sales and pumpkin patches to a period of no longer than sixty days . These and other limits on temporary uses of land may be discussed and adjusted in subsequent phases of the Zoning Code Update.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

The environmental impacts of the project have been analyzed in accordance with CEQA. The project has been determined to be exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) as a common - sense exemption.

The proposed project consists of revisions to the Salinas Municipal Code Chapters 17 (Housing), and 37 (Zoning). The proposed revisions include amendments to ensure consistency with state housing law and implementation of the City ’s Housing Element, as wel l as other legal requirements, and updates addressing local priorities. The proposed project does not include any 23 P a g e | 5
site-specific designs or proposals to develop specific projects, nor does it grant any entitlements for any individual development projects.

The proposed revisions are regulatory and administrative in nature. As such, the proposed project would not, in and of itself, result in direct physical changes to the environment. The proposed project does not modify General Plan land use designation or increase base zoning densities. While certain proposed revisions address state housing law requirements (e.g., density bonuses, ADUs, and similar housing), these are established under state law and would apply regardless of implementation of the proposed p roject. The proposed revisions codify and implement these requirements within the Zoning Code and do not in themselves establish new development entitlements beyond those permitted under existing zoning and state law. Proposed Zoning Code revisions to driv eway-width increases keep the maximum increase limit the same and add additional standards. Proposed revisions for accessory office use in Industrial Districts allow more flexibility within an industrial building but would not increase development intensit y. Any future development that may occur pursuant to the updated regulations would be subject to separate review and approval processes, including environmental review under CEQA, as applicable.

Accordingly, the proposed project can be considered exempt from environmental review pursuant to the common-sense exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with reasonable certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed project would have a significant effect on the environmen t. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Phase 1 of the Zoning Code Update advances the City Council’s Strategic Plan initiatives by streamlining residential entitlements, facilitating the addition of ADUs, exploring solutions to residential parking challenges, and supporting economic development by increasing flexibility.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

The Community Development Department is leading this effort with close coordination with the City Attorney, Public Works, and other departments as applicable.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

WHEREAS, on August 18, 2026, at a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council weighed the evidence, including the Staff Report which is on file at the Community Development Department together with the record of environmental review and hereby finds that the following amendment will not have the effect of reversing policies of the Salinas General Plan or other plans and policies previously adopted by the City Council and the City Council finds the project to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) as a common-sense exemption, as follows:

Categorical Exemption:

1. The project has been found to be exempt as a Common-Sense Exemption pursuant to Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA);
The proposed Zoning Code Amendment consists of revisions to the Salinas Zoning Code to ensure consistency with the State housing law and implementation of the City’s Housing Element, as well as updates addressing local priorities and other legal requirements. The proposed project does not include any site-specific designs or proposals to develop specific projects, nor does it grant any entitlements for any individual development projects. As such, the proposed project would not, in and of itself, result in direct physical changes to the environment. Accordingly, the proposed project can be considered exempt from environmental review pursuant to the common -sense exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with reasonable certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed project would have a significant effect on the environment.

WHEREAS, the Salinas City Council adopts the following findings, as set forth in Zoning Code Section 37 -60.1120, as the basis for its introduction and adoption of the proposed Zoning Code Amendment:

Zoning Code Amendment 2026-001:
27

1. The Amendment is consistent with the Salinas General Plan and other plans and policies adopted by the Salinas City Council.

This amendment is consistent with the Salinas General Plan and implements policies from multiple elements. Changes made to align with State housing law are intended to reduce barriers to construction and accessibility of different scales of housing throughout Salinas, implementing Housing Element Goal 1: Increase Housing Supply and Opportunities for All. This amendment directly implements actions from Housing Element Program 4:

Accessory Dwelling Units, and Program 6: General Plan, Zoning Code, and Approval Process Updates. Specifically, these programs direct the City to update Accessory Dwelling Unit requirements, remove subjective finding requirements from Conditional Use Permits for projects with housing, and other changes to bring the Salinas Municipal Code, including Zoning Code, into compliance with State housing law. Providing a wide range of housing types also supports policies and actions under Land Use Element Goal LU-1 and Economic Development Element Goal ED -N-1. Proposed changes to cottage food production and accessory office in Industrial Districts increas e flexibility in the Zoning Code, which is consistent with Economic Development Element policies, including Policy ED-LU-1.16 and Action QL-5.2.4.

2. The Amendment will not have the effect of reversing the policies of the Salinas General Plan, any applicable Specific Plan, and other plans and policies adopted by the Salinas City Council.

The proposed amendments will not reverse existing policies, because as stated above, the proposed changes are necessary to implement the Housing Element of the General Plan and are consistent with goals and policies from other elements. The amendments woul d also implement policies from the City Council 2025 -2028 Strategic Plan, including those directing the City to streamline residential entitlements and facilitate the addition of a variety of housing types.

3. The Amendment would not create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent zoning districts.

The Zoning Code Amendment is an amendment to the text of the Zoning Code and would not rezone or create new zoning districts. Therefore, the Zoning Code Amendment would not create any isolated districts unrelated to adjacent zoning districts.

4. The City has the capability to provide public utilities, roads, and services to serve the uses allowed by the proposed amendment.

Salinas is an urbanized area and public infrastructure is presently in place to serve most uses. The proposed Zoning Code Amendment would not create the need for additional infrastructure.

TITLE: BIENNIAL (2026/27 – 2027/28) BUDGET UPDATE

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to a pprove a resolution authorizing budget adjustments as recommended in this staff report through the use of fund balance and the infrastructure maintenance reserve . (Use of the maintenance reserve requires a 2/3 vote.)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff met with the Finance Committee in August to evaluate the possibility of funding additional initiatives that were discussed but not included in the original Biennial Budget. Staff also presented recommendations for further investm ent in the City ’s infrastructure. During this meeting, the Committee discussed the various initiatives and made recommendations to be brought forward to City Council for consideration. In order to provide context for additional budget considerations, it is important to review the initial budget balancing strategies which are presented below in the Background Section. The recommended initiatives are incorporated in this staff report for review.

BACKGROUND:

On June 16, 2026, City Council held a public hearing (budget meeting) to adopt the Biennial Budget. The General Fund Budget for both years was balanced by utilizing multiple strategies to close gaps of $13.6 million (FY 2026/27) and $14.4 million (FY 2027/28) with one-time resources and short -term strategies . This includes the use of existing fund balance, Police Development Impact Fee, and increasing the vacancy factor, all of which are illustrated in Table 1 below.

At the budget meeting, City Council expressed interest in funding certain programs and initiatives, most of which were included as Attachment D to the budget staff report.

At the August 11, 2026, Finance Committee meeting, s taff presented these initiatives, how they could be funded, and the potential to fund additional infrastructure . The Committee provided direction to staff and made recommendations to move forward for City Council consideration.

Staff’s presentation and Committee Members’ recommendations are detailed below.

Park Staffing
The City increased its parks and open space acreage by an additional 66 acres with the acquisition of Ensen Community Park Restoration Area. This creates a need to add capacity to ensure parks and open spaces are appropriately maintained 7 days per week . There are currently 16 full -time staff members ranging from Parks Operations Manager to Park Maintenance Worker servicing 253.8 acres of park space. This equates to 15.9 acres for every full-time position. With the addition of 66 acres for a total of 319.8 acres , each full -time position will be serving 20.0 acres. At the budget meeting, City Council discussed the potential of adding a Sr. Park Maintenance Worker ($129,400 ongoing) and/or a Park Maintenance Worker ($113,900 ongoing).

Staff provided three alternatives to fund additional park staffing – 1) add both positions now, 2) add one now and one at the mid -year process, or 3) add both positions at the mid -year process.

Finance Committee Members recommended adding both positions now and funding them with General Fund – Fund Balance (fund balance).

1 Total appropriation and reserve allocation were reduced by the development impact fee and vacancy factor. [$206,635,292-$1,433,603-$1,234,000-$7,733,100 = $196,234,589] 2 Total appropriation and reserve allocation were reduced by the development impact fee and vacancy factor. [$214,375,725-$820,954-$2,467,000-$8,011,900 = $203,075,871] 113
P a g e | 3
Community Organization Contributions
For those items that include a City contribution to an organization such as Ciclovia and Monterey Waterkeeper, staff provided three recommendations – 1) refer Ciclovia to apply through the Community Sponsorship Program and maintain the program budget at $150,000, 2) fund Ciclovia through the Community Sponsorship Program and increase the prog ram budget to $200,000 to increase capacity and fund more organizations, or 3) provide a direct contribution to Ciclovia. The Finance Committee recommended increasing the Community Sponsorship Program budget by $50,000 and refer those organizations to apply through the program. Staff recommend using fund balance to fund the additional $50,000.

Neighborhood Grants
In the current fiscal year, City council approved an allocation of funds for beautification projects in the amount of $42,000, to be equally distributed at $6,000 to each Council District and the Mayor’s office. In the prior year, there was a remaining balance of $800.

At the budge t meeting, there was a reques t by Council to double this funding. However, the Finance Committee did not recommend additional funding for the Neighborhood Grants program at this time. It was noted that they would like to include a review of the program dur ing the mid- year budget process. This approach allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of the program’s needs and effectiveness before any further funding decisions are made.

Small Business Grants
In 2023, City Council approved a small business grant budget of $75,000 for the Alisal area and $30,000 Citywide. These grants go towards miscellaneous business financial expenses, social media, or financial/computer literacy. Combined, there have been about $37,084 expended and currently there is $67,916 budgeted and available ($51,238 for Alisal and $16,678 Citywide) for future small business grant opportunities.

At the budget meeting, Councilmembers expressed an interest in doubling the allocation for the Neighborhood Grant Program, which would increase the funding to $105,000 and make the grants available Citywide. The Finance Committee members do not recommend this item for additional funding at this time and requested that this program be revisited during the mid-year budget review process. This approach allows for a more thorough evaluation of the program ’s effectiveness and funding needs before making any additional allocations.

Rental Assistance
In December 2025, City Council authorized the launch of the Pilot Rental Assistance Program (RAP) to prevent homelessness through short -term rental assistance, housing stabilization services, and eviction prevention interventions. This program is designed to address both immediate housing crises and long -term housing stability, reducing inflow into the homeless services system. The City partnered with Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) and the Monterey County Office of Education (MCOE) to administer the program.

The City and ECHO Housing expanded homeless prevention efforts through community education on tenant rights, fair housing, and rental assistance resources. This partnership allowed the City to increase capacity. In FY 2025 /26, the City and ECHO held multiple community meetings to 114
P a g e | 4
increase awareness of housing protections, eviction prevention resources, and available housing assistance programs.

In the current plan, rental assistance will be provided using the current General Fund appropriation of $500,000 and $200,000 from Family Homeless Challenge (FHC) Grant. FHC funds must be spent by September 30, 2026. From staff's perspective, no additional program funding is needed at this time. Should program funding be exhausted over the next six months, staff can come back to request additional appropria tion at mid-year or for FY 2027/28. The table (Table 2) below details the funding amount by program.

FHC (grant) $200,000 $0 $200,000
Total $500,000 $200,000 $700,000

Infrastructure Improvement Initiatives
In addition to the previously discussed items, staff are actively exploring further opportunities to deliver greater and more immediate improvements to the City ’s infrastructure. This research has been guided by ongoing community and Council input and feedback, highlighting areas of concern and prioritizing needs.

As a result, s taff recommend focusing efforts on four key infrastructure areas: striping, lighting, pothole repairs, and trees. These are essential for enhancing public safety and improving overall quality of life within the City. By utilizing infrastructure reserves, there is potential to expand the scope of work in these areas, providing a meaningful impact in a timely manner.

While specific recommendations for certain locations are included within this report, staff continue to evaluate other areas throughout the City to identify opportunities for high-impact improvements.

The ongoing review ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and that safety remains a top priority in all infrastructure initiatives.

Striping
There are several advantages with striping. The City has a contract and purchase order in place.

The previously scheduled work is expected to begin in September. Staff will need to work with the contractor to coordinate availability should this option be approved by City Council.

The segments on East Market Street, East Alisal Street, Williams Road, and East Boronda Road are recommended for striping and have an estimated cost of approximately $200,000. Other segments are being identified and will be included in the scope of work. Selected streets have the highest ADT (average daily trips) from the 2025/2026 prioritization project list that are not being addressed. The work is expandable due to the prioritization list having been previously approved by City Council and ADTs identified . Striping work can be performed relatively quickly with minimal traffic impacts and would ultimately increase safety in those identified areas. 115
P a g e | 5
The current proposed striping would address four (4) additional street segments from the 45 previously identified. Currently, the contractor is scheduled to restripe eleven (11) street segments.

Staff will work with the contractor for additional segments identified.

Street Lighting
In 2026 to date, staff has completed streetlight repairs on eleven (11) street sections as follows:

 Freedom Blvd (Constitution to Nogel)
 Wood St (San Benito St to Santa Maria St)
 Roy Diaz St (Airport Blvd to Freeway)
 E Alisal (Work St to N Madeira Ave)
 Sanborn Rd (Elvee Dr to Abbott St)
 Work St (Sanborn Rd to John St)
 Independence Blvd (Constitution Blvd to Lexington St)  Laurel Extension (Sanborn Rd to Natividad Rd)
 E Market St & Front St
 E Market (Pajaro St to Market Way)
 Front St (E Alisal to E Market St)

Street lighting in several locations is recommended for funding due to low visibility within those areas. The eleven (11) identified locations listed in the following table are projected to cost approximately $400,000.

Other locations are being identified and will be included in the scope of work . As with striping, this would significantly improve safety and can be performed relatively quickly with minimal traffic impacts.

Potholes
Staff has addressed pothole issues throughout the City, completing repairs on 11,594 potholes across 2,072 different locations. Some of the streets included in these efforts are Abbott Street, East Boronda Road, Monterey Street, Old Stage Road, North Sanborn Road, Adams Street, Rainier Drive, Sequoia Street, West Laurel Drive, among others. To continue improving road conditions, staff is currently identifying the most critical potholes that require attention. It is recommended that $400,000 be allocated to support this ongoing repair initiative.

“Adopt a Tree” Project
Staff is actively exploring ways to address 190 locations as part of the "Adopt a Tree" project. At this time, there are 70 outstanding requests waiting to be fulfilled. The estimated cost for implementing this initiative is approximately $100,000. Staff will continue to identify appropriate locations should this item be approved by City Council.

Additional Infrastructure Inquiry
At the August 11, 2026, Finance Committee meeting, a Councilmember requested that staff review the feasibility of installing a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at East Laurel Drive and Granada Ave. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $750,000 -$800,000. Staff will continue to review the feasibility of this important inquiry.

Should the additional infrastructure investment s discussed in this staff report be approved, staff recommend funding them with the Infrastructure Reserve. It is important to note that t he use of specific reserves, including the Infrastructure Reserve, must be approved by a two -thirds vote (5 of 7 Councilmembers). Additionally, any such uses of the reserves are to be repaid over a period to be determined by Council at the time of approval , with a target repayment period of no more than three years. The three -year repayment may be suspended, in whole or part, if financial or economic circumstances are determined by the City Manager to prevent meeting this timeline.

Staff have conducted a thorough review of the additional needs brought forward by City Council, along with recommendations provided by the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee's

specific recommendations are now being presented in this staff report for City Counc il consideration and potential action.

As noted in the Budget Transmittal Letter, there continue to be fiscal challenges, and prudent budgetary practices will need to be adhered to in order to ensure service de livery aligns with budgetary capacity.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the propos ed 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 c ause 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.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: AUGUST 18, 2026
DEPARTMENT: FIRE & POLICE DEPARTMENT
FROM: CHRISTOPHER KNAPP, DIVISION CHIEF/FIRE MARSHAL

CARLOS ACOSTA, POLICE CHIEF

TITLE: 2026 FIREWORKS ENFORCEMENT AFTER-ACTION REPORT

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

Receive and accept the 2026 Fireworks Enforcement After-Action Report presented by the Salinas Fire and Police Departments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The attached After-Action Report provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies utilized to enforce laws and ordinances regarding illegal fireworks in the City of Salinas. It outlines both the successes achieved and areas for improvement, guiding future enforcement efforts. Additionally, the re port presents statistical data on the sale of 'Safe -n-Sane' fireworks and evaluates the effectiveness of our outreach and enforcement initiatives in curbing illegal fireworks use in Salinas.

BACKGROUND:

The use of illegal fireworks continues to frustrate our citizens and burden our limited public safety resources. As this problem is not unique to the City of Salinas, staff continue to work to find ways to help combat the issue and minimize the impact to all.

The overall strategy for the public outreach campaign and enforcement plan was a collaborative effort on behalf of the Salinas Fire Department Prevention Division and other City departments.

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, 136
Page | 2
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.

INTRODUCTION
141
5 | P a g e

This report is a compilation of information from the different departments and staff who participated in the enforcement operations and public outreach campaigns. The information was gathered by the Salinas Fire Department (SFD), the Salinas Police Department (SPD), Salinas Public Works Department ( SPW), Monterey County Emergency Communications Department (ECD), and other City staff.

The overall strategy for the public outreach campaign and enforcement plan was a collaborative effort on behalf of the SFD Prevention Division and other City departments, in collaboration with the City Council Fireworks Sub-Committee.

The recommendations in this AAR should be viewed with considerable attention to the needs for a safe and livable community. In some cases, departments may determine that the benefits of implementation are insufficient to outweigh cost or pose a considerable safety risk for staff or the public. In other cases, departments may identify alternative solutions that are more effective.

However, each department should review the recommendations and determine the most appropriate action and time needed for implementation.

The issues addressed in this AAR should be reviewed and thoroughly examined for the appropriation of needed resources to ensure the functions of incident response, stabilization and enforcement are safe, efficient, and effective.

AFTER ACTION REPORT OVERVIEW
142
6 | P a g e
Operational Overview:

Starting on June 1st, a multi-media campaign was launched to increase involvement from residents in the reporting of illegal fireworks use. Building on the positive outcome realized in 2018 and 2019, large signs were again placed at key intersections throughout the city promoting the various methods of reporting illegal fireworks use. This was further publicized in a broad social media campaign, print press, and broadcast news outlets. A detailed statistical analysis is attached.

This campaign proved ongoing success in routing complaints received through the www.salinasfireworks.com website, the “Salinas Connect” appl ication, as well as the voicemail and text tip line.

143
7 | P a g e
Based on the lessons learned from the previous fireworks seasons in 2020 through 202 5, undercover patrols, along with marked vehicles, were deployed on the holiday to corroborate citizen tips from the Salinas Connect app, salinasfireworks.com website, voicemail, and text reports.

All members of the 202 6 Fireworks Enforcement Task Force coordinated with one another via telecommunication related means, resources patrolled areas where increased activity was evident and collected evidence to support the issuance of administrative citations after the fact.

Citizen participation in reporting illegal fireworks slightly decreased as compared to last year. This increase can be attributed to multiple factors including success of our campaign, inflation across many sectors like fuel and fireworks, and the holiday falling on a Saturday. The “Salinas Connect” 144
8 | P a g e
application served as the primary repository for all illegal fireworks reports and residents could upload pictures and video evidence to support the reports.

ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
For the period of June 1st through July 12th, the total number of Administrative Citations referred to the Office of City Attorney was 80.

Administrative fines remained unchanged from the previous year at $1,250 for the “Use, Possession, or Sale of Illegal Fireworks” and $250 for the “Noise Vio lation” totaling a minimum citation of $1,500.

In some cases, multiple fines were assessed where illegal activity was documented over several days. The highest single citation amount was $12,000.

Disputed citations are managed and heard in accordance with the City of Salinas Municipal Code.

The Fire Prevention Division coordinates the Administrative Hearing process with the necessary parties.

Salinas Fire Department Operations
June 1st, 2026, through July 4th, SFD responded to a total of 1,664 emergency incidents. A breakdown of the fire incidents with previous years’ data is provided as follows:

2024 2025 2026
Structure Fires: 13 6 10
Vegetation Fires: 61 48 30
Misc. Fire (Dumpsters, etc.): 60 58 84
Totals: 134 112 124

For the 4 th of July holiday period, SFD’s staffing consisted of 16 Fire Suppression members, 6 Fire Prevention, 10 SFD Drone Pilots, and additional city staff responded to increased calls for service and patrol the target threat areas.

The Salinas Police Department provided 4 patrol units with 2 officers in each vehicle.

12 additional city employees assisted with illegal fireworks patrols. Those departments included:

Community Development, City Clerk’s Office, Library Services, Information Systems, and Public Works.

Salinas Fire responded to numerous calls for service on 4 th of July to include 10 structure fires, 30 vegetation fires, and numerous other calls.

AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT

 Adequate funding from existing fees, surcharges, and fines.  Participation from the City employees alleviated the excessive burden of limited SFD and SPD resources.
 Comprehensive media coverage including ad campaigns on all platforms such as television, radio, social media, and signs.
 Citizen-based tips from the “neighborhood approach” using Salinas Connect and fireworks hotline.
 Undercover operations to “observe and report” led to Administrative Citations with better evidentiary documentation.
 Integration of the Salinas Connect reporting platform provided detailed information for follow-up.
 Additional signage was placed at high visibility areas and intersections of the city.  Advance warnings sent to addresses where illegal fireworks were reported last year helped to deter activity in certain areas.

 Collection and sorting data from various sources of intelligence remains a manual process and is labor intensive.
 Manual review of video evidence is also time consuming and delays issuance of Administrative Citations and pulls staff from normal job functions.  Means of collecting accurate evidence.
 More real time integration between tips and enforcement, starting in June.

STRENGTHS
150
14 | P a g e

CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS

 Increase utilization of Drone Teams (SPD and SFD) on future July 4th Holidays.  Continue to utilize additional city employees, willing to observe, report and collect evidence.
 Increase sharing of regional resources to target illegal fireworks sales.  Increase publicity of undercover activity and citation statistics in traditional and social media.
 Continue attempts to engage neighborhood groups and citizens in “observe and report” roles.
 Work with community groups to establish a community-based organized fireworks display to discourage “at-home” use of illegal fireworks.

Continued collaborative efforts in this year’s campaign proved to be a positive influence toward curbing illegal fireworks use in the City of Salinas. The goal of these programs continues to focus on changing social consciousness at the individual and neighborhood level. It should be acknowledged that this is an ongoing process over several years but marked decreases in activity were noted this year.

The improvement in the quality of citizen reports is a positive indicator of the success of these efforts. The increase in citations with actionable evidence is another product of better collaboration between City departments in a coordinated fashion.

Future years’ plans will build on these successes. The City staff will remain engaged with constituents to discuss and implement recommendations to bring about a social change and improve the quality of life for the residents of Salinas.

FROM: SELINA ANDREWS, FINANCE DIRECTOR
TITLE: MEASURE G SUBCOMMITTEE PUBLIC REPORT ON FY 2025

INDEPENDENT AUDIT

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to receive and accept the Measure G Subcommittee Public R eport on the FY 2025 Independent Audit.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Pursuant to section 32-94 of the Measure G Ordinance, the Measure G Oversight Committee shall appoint a subcommittee, consisting of three members to review the 2025 independent audit.

Additionally, the Measure G Ordinance states that the annual independent audit must be provided to the subcommittee for review and the subcommittee will subsequently issue a public report to City Coun cil. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) was issued by the City ’s independent auditors in January of 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The Measure G Subcommittee was originally scheduled for appointment on January 15, 2026.

However, the meeting was postponed due to the lack of a quorum, and the appointment was rescheduled for March 26, 2026. At the March meeting, the Subcommittee approved the formation of a three-member subcommittee consisting of Field, Mendoza, and Salmina.

Following their appointment, the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) was provided to the subcommittee for their review and evaluation.

Beyond presenting the full audit report, staff supplemented their evaluations and recommendations with additional relevant data. Recognizing the technical nature of this information, staff also organized a meeting to address any questions the subcommittee might have. The subcomm ittee conducted an independent review of all materials provided, carefully analyzing the supporting documentation. Following this thorough review, the subcommittee compiled the final report for submission.
173
P a g e | 2

This Audit Summary presents the Fiscal Year 2024-25 data for Measure G in the City of Salinas.

It includes revenues, expenditures, funded projects, services, and positions, and was prepared for public review by the Measure G Oversight Committee. The report offers an overview of key financial and operational highlights to ensure transparency and accountability.

The subcommittee presented their report to the Measure G Oversight Committee at the July 30, 2026, meeting and is included as an Attachment to this staff report . At the meeting, the subcommittee noted the thoroughness of the information provided by staff, a collaborative and responsive process, and transparency on behalf of the City. In the attached Audit Summary, the subcommittee detailed how Measure G funding was expended, noting specific details including operating expenditures by department, positions funded, and projects moving forward.

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.

Measure G FY 2024-25 Audit Summary | 2
Executive SummaryMeasure G is the City of Salinas one-cent general transactions and use tax approved by voters on November 4, 2014. The measure has a 15-year term and was presented as a way to restore and maintain local services and provide for a “safer, better Salinas.” The revenue is locally controlled and may be used for general governmental purposes, subject to annual independent audit and public oversight. Actual revenue Actual spending/transfersPositions fundedPothole repairs recorded$37,313,404$39,528,395106.5 FTE10,830Overall Financial ResultsMeasure G produced $37.31 million in FY 2024-25 revenue, exceeding the $34.90 million budget by $2.41 million. Total expenditures and transfers were $39.53 million against a $58.45 million amended budget. The difference largely reflects multi-year capital projects for which appropriations remain available or expenditures were encumbered for future completion. Audit Result The City’s independent auditors issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City’s FY 2024-25 financial statements. The Measure G budgetary schedule in the audited financial statements reconciles to the post-audit Measure G report: $24.72 million of expenditures plus $14.81 million of transfers out, totaling $39.53 million. What Residents Received Public safety staffing and operations, including 29 Police positions and approximately 7.75 Fire positions. Street, sidewalk, pothole, asphalt, tree, graffiti and environmental compliance work. Park maintenance, recreation centers, youth programs, neighborhood engagement and playground improvements. Code enforcement activity totaling 2,941 inspections, 1,681 cases opened and 1,444 cases closed. Homelessness services, shelter operations, Alisal improvements, fire station renovations and other capital projects. 177
Measure G FY 2024-25 Audit Summary | 3

1. Measure G Background and Oversight What Measure G Is Measure G is a one-cent general transactions and use tax. It was approved in 2014 for a 15-year period. Because it is a general tax, the City Council may appropriate the revenue for lawful municipal purposes. The voter-facing purpose emphasized restoring services and improving community safety and quality of life.Public Accountability The Measure G Oversight Committee reviews the City auditor’s report and issues a public report to the City Council regarding the receipt of Measure G revenue and the expenditure of Measure G funds. This report translates the City’s financial schedules into project-, service- and staffing-level information for public understanding.

Budgeted and actual Measure G expenditures and transfers by major use. Capital project appropriations generally span multiple fiscal years, so a remaining budget may represent work in progress, encumbered contracts, or funding reserved for approved future phases rather than a canceled project.How to read this graph: Operating departments generally used most of their approved FY 2024-25 budgets. The largest remaining balance was in capital projects, where construction and infrastructure work commonly continues across more than one fiscal year. Fire actual expenditures slightly exceeded the department budget by approximately $13,500.Important context: A remaining budget does not necessarily represent a canceled project or unused cash. Many capital projects span multiple fiscal years, and some balances include encumbrances for signed contracts or work underway. 179

ObservationSummary / recommendationexpenditures plus $14.81 million in transfers out equals $39.53 million.Revenue performanceRevenue exceeded budget by $2.41 million, primarily because transactions and use tax receipts and investment earnings were above budget. Capital project transparencyFuture reports should continue to show original budget, current-year budget, actual expenditures, encumbrances, remaining balance, project status and expected completion date.Location-level reportingStreet, sidewalk, tree, pothole and park reporting should be maintained in a public project inventory so residents can see work completed in their neighborhoods.Staffing outcomesEach department should report both funded FTE and service outcomes, such as calls handled, enforcement activity, response measures, program attendance and work orders completed.Clear distinction of fundingWhere a project uses Measure G together with grants, Measure X, gas tax or other sources, the City should disclose both the Measure G contribution and total project cost.ConclusionBased on the audited financial statements and the supporting project and staffing information supplied by the City, Measure G revenue was used for City operations, public safety, streets and sidewalks, parks and recreation, community development, homelessness services, debt service and capital improvements. The FY 2024-25 report demonstrates substantial service delivery and infrastructure activity. Continued project-level reporting will make the connection between tax revenue and neighborhood results clearer to the public. 187

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION, AIRPORT DIVISION
FROM: LISA MURPHY, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
BY: MATT NELSON, AIRPORT DIRECTOR
TITLE: 2026 CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW PERMIT AT

THE SALINAS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion recommending City Council approve a resolution

(1) Authorizing the City Manager to execute an Airport Use Permit for the 202 6 California International Airshow, to be conducted by the Monterey County Airshow Association, Inc. at the Salinas Municipal Airport, in accordance with the terms of said permit; (2) Waiving the Airport Use Permit fees for the 2026 California International Airshow; and (3) Waiving the cost of City Airport staff time associated with the 202 6 California International Airshow.

BACKGROUND:

The 45 th California International Airshow is scheduled to take place at the Salinas Municipal Airport on September 26 and 27, 202 6. This year’s airshow will feature the United States Air Force Thunderbirds Team and several other aircraft acts and displays. The California International Airshow has been showcasing aviation excellence for over 44 years while at the same time raising over $9 million for local nonprofits.

Utilizing all volunteers and service groups from the community, the organization each year plans and executes the event that entertains 25,000 to 30,000 spectators annually. The top military and civilian performers in the United States thrill and inspire the crowds. Over 90 static aircraft, exhibits, and displays are available for Airshow fans to enjoy during their experience. Each year, the goal is to produce an event that will be family -oriented, educational, and entertaining for the whole family. In addition to its main goal of raising money for charity, the airshow’s charter also emphasizes volunteerism and community involvement, family -oriented entertainment, aviation and its contributions to the American way of life, and pride in our nation and its military.

To most of Monterey County and the Central Coast, the California International Airshow represents a homegrown community event based in Salinas that is a spectacle of fun and 190

Page | 2
entertainment. To the City of Salinas, it is an annual economic infusion of milli ons of dollars to the local economy. The airshow event planning process never ends; at the completion of each annual event, the event planners begin preparing for the next year’s event. The hosting of the Airshow is in the best interests of general aviation and the Airport, with the purpose of enhancing the Salinas community image, promoting public use of the Airport, and promoting revenue for local charitable organizations.

ANALYSIS:

Permit:

The attached Permit is essentially the same as those approve d in previous years but with minor modifications. The Permit requires a $10,000,000.00 Airmeet Liability Insurance Policy and includes authorization for various street closures and specific operational provisions. Typically, only one other City Permit, a Special Events Permit, is required for the event. Once completed, the Special Events Permit becomes the “Exhibit A” document referenced in the Airshow Permit. The Airport Use Permit is being presented to the Airport Commission for review without the Special Events Permit because 1) All Airport use issues are covered in the Airshow Permit and the Special Events Permit covers City Streets and facilities and therefore does not come under Airport Commission review; and, 2) Timing is such that the Airport Use Permit needs to advance through the Airport Commission in order to gain overall Permit approval prior to the Airshow.

In-Kind Contribution:

Airport Staff recommends waiving the $38,600.00 Permit Fee. Additionally, staff recommend not billing any staff time associated with the Airshow. Typically, staff time billed to the Airshow is less than $1,400.00 per year.

Salinas Pilot Association (SPA) Donation:

The Airshow Organization is continuing to honor the fundraising clause in the agreement for the Salinas Pi lot Association (SPA). The Monterey County Airshow Association, Inc. will donate $2,500.00 (cash donation) to SPA for volunteer services rendered during the airshow period. In consideration of the $2,500.00 donation, SPA will provide various services during the Airshow.

City of Salinas Booth Space:

In consideration for waiving the Airport’s $38,600.00 Permit Fee, the Airshow Association has agreed to provide the City of Salinas, at no charge, three (3) Booth Spaces for promoting and enhancing the Airport and City of Salinas’ community outreach.

Airport Commission Consideration:

At their meeting on July 23, 2026, the Airport Commission unanimously recommended the City Council approve the Airport Use Permit for the 2026 Airshow and waive the fees associated with the Permit and with Airport Staff time.

GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 84308 APPLIES:

Yes.
191

Page | 3
CEQA/NEPA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project and therefore exempt as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Approval of the 2026 California International Airshow permit complements Salinas City Council’s economic development and public safety 2025-2026 Strategic Goals and Strategies.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Staff recommend waving the $38,600 Use Permit Fee. Staff recommend the Air port Enterprise Fund absorb staff time associated with the 2026 California International Airshow.

The economic-financial impact of the Airshow is hard to quantify without procuring economic impact analysis services. Money spent by the Monterey County Airshow Association, Inc. hosting the Airshow and patrons of the event contribute to the local economy and the local tax base. Past performance indicates the annual Airshow drives hundreds of thousands of dollars in economic impact to the local economy. Add itionally, the Monterey County Airshow Association, Inc. has contributed in excess of $9 million dollars to charities over the last 44 years.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION

The Use Permit has been reviewed as to form by the City Attorney’s office. The Police and Fire Departments participate in the planning and execution of the Airshow.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This Agreement is a three-year Agreement with SHI International Corporation. Microsoft 365 Government G3 is for government agencies like the City that use Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, and other desktop applications. The software licenses provide City staff access to required applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, and Outlook email via the cloud and/or desktop environments.

BACKGROUND:

In 2011, t he City of Salinas be gan using Microsoft 365 Government G3. Prior to 2011 the City used Microsoft 365 Enterprise. The change to Microsoft 365 Government G3 was more cost effective and offered government security and compliance capability.

On September 1, 2023, the City entered into a three -year Agreement to renew Microsoft Office 365 G3 licenses through Dell Marketing, LP. The Microsoft Enterprise Licensing Agreement was negotiated by the County of Riverside and SHI International Corporation, as part of a competitive bidding process. Many organizations in the State of California have refere nced the Agreement to secure the best pricing option available. The enterprise Agreement allows the City to pay a flat 220
Page | 2
annual fee and subscribe to the needed software and licensing platforms without paying additional fees for releases and updates. The three-year Agreement ends on August 31, 2026.

Included in Microsoft 365 Government G3 are the core applications including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, and Outlook email via the cloud and/or desktop environments.

Microsoft Word is used to create documents including memos, reports, internal and public correspondence. Excel is used to create spreadsheets to track budgets, inventory, and other data relevant to City business. PowerPoint is used for creating visual presentations. SharePoint is one of the main platforms used to create, collaborate, share, and manage files and workflows within the City environment. Additionally, two software products, Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Defender, will be added to the Agreement. Microsoft Purview provides a unified platform for managing data security, governance, and compliance. Microsoft Defender provides integrated, multi-layered security for Office 365 software applications such as Outlook and OneDrive.

A software contingency is requested to c over additional licensing needs for potential staffing increases over the three-year Agreement period. This includes additional licensing for Microsoft 365 G3 and productivity tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Visio, and Planner.

Maintaining software licenses is necessary for the maintenance and operations of multiple staff activities and collaboration tools. The current resolution will authorize the continuation of maintaining core Microsoft applications in cloud and virtual desktop environments. Similar to the 2023 Microsoft 365 Government G3 renewal, the City utilized the County of Riverside Agreement to obtain quotes from pre-approved vendors. Multiple quotes were solicited from the pre-approved vendors listed in the County of Riverside Agreement. SHI International Corporation was selected based on lowest price and vendor qualifications.

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:

Purchasing Microsoft Azure Services
Customer may purchase Microsoft Azure Services from SHI in one or a combination of the following ways: Azure Prepayment:

Customer will have access to its entire Azure prepayment throughout the term of its Enrollment if Customer agrees to be invoiced for the full amount upfront (the “Fully Prepaid Option”). Alternatively, if Customer elects to be invoiced for its Azure prepayment on an annual basis, Customer will have access to an Allocated Annual prepayment each year of the Enrollment (the “Annually Prepaid Option”). Under the Fully Prepaid Option, any unused Azure prepayment will be forfeited at the end of the Enrollment, and under the Annually Prepaid Option, any unused Allocated Annual prepayment will be forfeited on the following Enrollment anniversary date.

Using Azure prepayment: Each month, Microsoft will deduct from Customer’s Azure prepayment (or Allocated Annual prepayment, if applicable) the monetary value of Customer’s usage of eligible Microsoft Azure Services. Once Customer’s Azure prepayment (or Allocated Annual prepayment, if applicable) balance has been exhausted, any additional usage will be invoiced at Consumption Rates (as described below).

Invoicing Azure prepayment: If Customer elects the Fully Prepaid Option, Azure prepayment will be invoiced immediately. If Customer elects the Annually Prepaid Option, the first Allocated Annual prepayment will be invoiced immediately, and future Allocated Annual prepayments will be invoiced on the anniversary of the Enrollment effective date.

Invoicing Azure prepayment overage: If Customer’s usage is higher than either its Azure prepayment under the Fully Prepaid Option or its Allocated Annual prepayment under the Annually Prepaid Option, such excess will be invoiced at Consumption Rates to Customer at the end of each Enrollment month.

Consumption: Customer pays based on the amount of Microsoft Azure Services consumed during a billing period.

Consumption invoicing: If Customer provisions Microsoft Azure Services without an Azure prepayment, SHI will invoice customer in the following month of usage at Consumption Rates. All usage of the Microsoft Azure Services after the expiration or termination of Customer’s subscription term will be invoiced by SHI to Customer at then-current Consumption Rates monthly.

SHI will invoice eligible Microsoft Azure Services at the contracted mark-up.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS, SANITARY SEWER DIVISION
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: TERRY MILLEMAN, FLEET MAINTENANCE MANAGER
TITLE: PURCHASE OF A 2026 VAC-CON TRUCK

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the Purchasing Agent to complete the direct purchase of one (1) 2026 Vac-Con V312HE/1300 Mounted on a Peterbilt chassis from Municipal Maintenance Equipment (MME) at a cost of $849,903.30

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Vac-Con truck is one of the Sewer Enterprise Division’s most essential pieces of equipment.

It is used daily to clean, flush, and vacuum debris from sanitary sewer mains, storm drain systems, manholes, lift stations, and catch basins. Staff are recommending the 2026 Vac-Con V312HE/1300 Mounted on a Peterbilt chassis for use by the Sewer Maintenance department for a total cost not to exceed $ 849,903.30. The FY 2026 -27 City Budget provided funding through the Sewer Departments operating budget to purchase this replacement vehicle.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Salinas Sewer Maintenance Division is requesting approval to replace its 2015 Peterbilt 348 Vac-Con combination sewer cleaning truck with a new 2026 Peterbilt Vac-Con combination sewer cleaning truck. The existing unit has reached its planned 10-year service life, and continued reliance on this aging vehicle increases the risk of costly mechanical failures, extended downtime, and disruptions to critical sewer maintenance operations.

The Vac-Con truck is one of the Sewer Enterprise Division’s most essential pieces of equipment.

It is used daily to clean, flush, and vacuum debris from sanitary sewer mains, storm drain systems, manholes, lift stations, and catch basins. This preventive maintenance is critical to maintaining system capacity, preventing sewer blockages, reducing sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), protecting public health, and ensuring compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements. The truck also serves as a vital emergency response vehicle for sewer backups, overflows, and other urgent infrastructure failures that require immediate attention.

245
Page | 2
Heavy-duty combination sewer cleaning trucks have exceptionally long manufacturing lead times due to specialized chassis, equipment installation, and testing requirements. The current estimated delivery time for a new Vac-Con truck is approximately 18 months from the date an order is placed. Delaying this replacement increases the likelihood that the City will experience a major equipment failure before a replacement vehicle can be delivered.

If the current truck experiences a catastrophic failure or becomes inoperable, the City would be forced to rent a comparable combination sewer cleaning truck to maintain essential sewer operations. Current rental costs are approximately $20,000 per month, resulting in significant unbudgeted expenses while awaiting delivery of a replacement unit. These rental costs could quickly exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars over an extended manufacturing period and would provide no long-term asset for the City.

The proposed replacement vehicle is being purchased through a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract, with a quote provided by Municipal Maintenance Equipment (MME) in the amount of $849,903.30. Using the Sourcewell contract allows the City to streamline the procurement process while ensuring competitive pricing and compliance with public purchasing requirements.

Replacing this vehicle now will improve operational reliability by providing dependable equipment capable of supporting daily preventive maintenance and emergency response activities for many years to come. A new Vac-Con truck will reduce maintenance costs associated with aging equipment, minimize unexpected downtime, improve fleet reliability, and ensure the Sewer Enterprise Division can continue providing essential wastewater services safely, efficiently, and without interruption to the residents and businesses of the City of Salinas.

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 requested Council action directly relates to Council’s Strategic Plans or Goals of “Infrastructure” by ensuring the Sewer Enterprise Division has reliable equipment to maintain and preserve the City’s wastewater collection system. This investment promo tes proactive infrastructure maintenance, reduces the risk of service interruptions and costly emergency repairs, and helps ensure the continued delivery of safe and reliable sewer services to the community.

246
Page | 3
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Fleet Maintenance collaborated closely with the Sanitary Sewer Division to assess and discuss the requirements for a new sewer cleaning truck. Through this coordination, both departments determined that the vehicle outlined in this report satisfies the operational needs of the Sanitary Sewer Division and meets the maintenance and technical standards required by the Fleet Maintenance Shop.

Additionally, Fleet Maintenance and the Sanitary Sewer Division worked in conjunction with the Finance Purchasing Division to ensure that all purchasing procedures and requirements for this acquisition were properly addressed and coordinated.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Funds have been budgeted for this vehicle’s replacement in the Sewer Maintenance operating budget for FY26/27 . There will be no impact on the City’s General Fund since monies for the purchase are already allocated in the current Sewer Maintenance operating budget.

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS, SANITARY SEWER DIVISION
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: TERRY MILLEMAN, FLEET MANAGER
TITLE: PURCHASE OF A 2026 FORD TRANSIT CCTV VAN

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the Purchasing Agency to complete the direct purchase of one 2026 Ford Transit CCTV van from Municipal Maintenance Equipment (MME) at a total cost of $497,486.56.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City’s current CCTV inspection vehicle is a 1999 Ford Econoline van that has exceeded its useful service life . To maintain a high level of service and continue proactive infrastructure management, staff are requesting th e purchase of a Rapid View IBAK Ford Transit Van Wagon XL equipped with a high definition (HD) mainline CCTV inspection system for a total cost not to exceed $ 497,486.56. The FY 2026-27 City Budget provided funding through the Sewer Departments operating budget to purchase this replacement vehicle.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Salinas Sewer Maintenance Division relies on a closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection van to proactively assess the condition of the City’s underground sewer infrastructure.

This equipment is critical for identifying pipeline defects such as cracks, root intrusion, blockages, and structural failures before they result in costly emergency repairs, service disruptions, or environmental impacts.

The City’s current CCTV inspection vehicle is a 1999 Ford Econoline van that has exceeded its useful service life. Due to its age, the vehicle has become increasingly unreliable, experiences frequent mechanical issues, and lacks the technological capabilities required to meet modern inspection standards. Additionally, replacement parts for both the vehicle and its outdated inspection system are becoming difficult to obtain, resulting in increased downtime and reduced operational efficiency.

To maintain a high level of service and continue proactive infrastructure management, staff are requesting the purchase of a Rapid View IBAK Ford Transit Van Wagon XL equipped with a high 253
Page | 2
definition (HD) mainline CCTV inspection system. This new unit will provide significantly improved video quality, enhanced data collection capabilities, and more efficient inspection processes. The upgraded technology will allow staff to accurately document pipeline conditions, support regulatory compliance, and prioritize maintenance and capital improvement projects based on reliable data.

Municipal Maintenance Equipment (MME) has provided a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract quote for the proposed unit in the total amount of $497, 486.56. Utilizing the Sourcewell contract allows the City to streamline the procurement process while ensuring competitive pricing and compliance with public purchasing requirements

Replacing the existing unit with a modern CCTV inspection van will improve operational reliability, reduce maintenance costs associated with aging equipment, and increase productivity in the field. Ultimately, this investment supports the City’s commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure, protecting public health, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the wastewater system.

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 requested Council action directly relates to Council’s Strategic Plans or Goals of “Infrastructure.” The purchase of the Ford Transit CCTV van enables the Sewer Enterprise Division to continue to maintain and repair the city’s underground sewer infrastructure.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Fleet Maintenance in coordination with the Sewer Maintenance Division had a meeting to discuss the needs of the new replacement vehicle. Staff concluded that the CCTV van in this report meets both the needs of the Sewer Maintenance Division as well as the requirements of the Fleet Maintenance Shop.

The intent of this proposal is to assist ACES in developing a clear concept for the Museum, a floor plan that supports

their

operational

needs,

an

interior

palette

of

finishes,

lighting

and

casework

that

complements

the

museum’s

collection,

and

renderings

that

could

be

used

to

for

the

next

phases

of

the

project,

including

the

mounting

of

exhibits

and
