AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL REGARDING SPEED LIMIT CHANGES ON 18 SAN RAFAEL ROADWAY
SEGMENTS OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 22357 AND 22358 OF THE CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE.
This Summary concerns a proposed Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Rafael, designated as Ordinance No. 2069 which will amend speed limits on eighteen roadway segments in San Rafael. Ordinance No. 2069 is scheduled for adoption by the San Rafael City Council at its regular meeting of August 17, 2026. The City Clerk has been directed to publish this Summary pursuant to City Charter and California Government Code section 36933(c)(1).
SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT TO MUNICIPAL CODE
This Ordinance would amend the San Rafael Municipal Code by updating the speed limits on eighteen roadway segments outside of downtown in San Rafael. Pursuant to Section 22357 of the California Vehicle Code, the City of San Rafael may determine that a speed limit greater than 25 miles per hour (mph) on certain streets would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe. The Ordinance will update the speed limit from 40 miles per hour (mph) to 35 mph on one road segment. The Ordinance will update the speed limit from 35 mph to 30 mph on four road segments. The Ordinance will update the speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph on three road segments.
Pursuant to Section 22358 of the California Vehicle Code, the City of San Rafael may determine that a speed limit of 15 or 20 mph on certain streets would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe. The Ordinance will update the speed limit from 25 mph to 20 mph on ten road segments. Engineering and traffic studies (E&TS) have been prepared for these roadway segments and the City’s Traffic Engineer has determined and recommended that the maximum speed limit on these streets should be changed to the following Proposed Speed Limits listed in Table 1 to facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic, and would be reasonable and safe.

TOPIC: TEMPORARY STREET CLOSURE FOR THE SGRAIL MARIN TRIATHLON & TRAIL
HALF MARATHON
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A TEMPORARY STREET CLOSURE ON PORTIONS OF
POINT SAN PEDRO ROAD IN SAN RAFAEL FOR THE SGRAIL MARIN TRIATHLON & TRAIL HALF MARATHON
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a temporary street closure on portions of Point San Pedro Road in San Rafael for the SGRAIL Marin Triathlon & Trail Half Marathon.
BACKGROUND:
Under California Vehicle Code Section 21101(e), a local authority may, by resolution, temporarily close portions of public streets for celebrations, parades, or local special events when such closures are necessary to protect the safety of participants and the public.
The City of San Rafael has received a special event permit application for the SGRAIL Marin Triathlon & Trail Half Marathon (formerly known as the Marin Endurance Festival). This event requires temporary street closures and parking restrictions to safely accommodate setup, event operations, pedestrian circulation, and breakdown.
The applicant has submitted materials for the proposed event, and staff is working to ensure all requirements are met before final authorization. If Council approves the temporary street closure, City staff will finalize the application and authorize the special event permit.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed special event temporary street closure is as follows:
Event Name: SGRAIL Marin Triathlon & Trail Half Marathon Event Date(s) and Time: Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 5:00 am to 12:30 pm Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 5:00 am to 12:30 pm
Street Closure Time: Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm (closure) Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm (no street closure, only intermittent traffic control)
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
Closure Location(s): SATURDAY TRAFFIC CONTROL DETOUR & CLOSURES Full Closure

Eastbound Lanes of Point San Pedro Road: Cantera Way
through Biscayne Drive (with intermittent traffic control to allow traffic to and from side streets, including Heritage Drive, Marin Bay Park Court, Biscayne Drive, San Marino Drive, and San Marino Court.) Detours will be in place for through traffic.
City departments, including Police, Fire, Public Works, and Parking Services, have reviewed the proposed temporary street closure and determined that it is appropriate and necessary. Traffic control, barricades, and emergency access will coordinate to ensure public safety.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
The public will be notified of the temporary street closure through several outreach channels, including this staff report, event promotions, posters distributed by the organizers, and advance on-site digital changeable message boards installed approximately one week prior to the event.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The SGRAIL Marin Triathlon & Trail Half Marathon requires City services that generate costs related to public safety, traffic control, and street closures, including but not limited to Police staffing, Public Works support, and Emergency Services operations. Consistent with past practice for this event, the event organizer will reimburse the City for the actual costs incurred in providing these services. Accordingly, staff do not anticipate any departmental budget impact.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider in this matter:
1. Adopt the resolution as presented.
2. Adopt the resolution with modifications.
3. Direct staff to return with more information.
4. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a temporary street closure on portions of Point San Pedro Road in San Rafael for the SGRAIL Marin Triathlon & Trail Half Marathon.

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Finance
Prepared by: Paul Navazio, Interim City Manager City Manager Approval: _________ TOPIC: CITY QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF CITY OF SAN RAFAEL QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING JUNE 30, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the investment report for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, as presented.
BACKGROUND:
Under the State of California Government Code Section 53601 and the City’s investment policy, last approved by the City Council on July 20, 2026, staff provides the City Council with a quarterly report on the City's investment activities and liquidity. The report includes the cost of each investment, the interest rates (yield), maturity dates, and market value.
The City invests some of its pooled funds in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), a State-run investment pool. Beginning in March 2014, the City incorporated an investment strategy that added purchases of securities outside of LAIF with the assistance of an investment advisor. The City’s current investment advisor is Chandler Asset Management.
ANALYSIS:
As of June 30, 2026, the City’s Treasury consisted of investments with a total market value of $120,152,201, consisting of $67,911,936 in the City’s primary Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) account, $893,500 of Pt. San Pedro Assessment District bonds, and $50,723,778 in externally managed investments. An additional $13,769,473 represents cash balances in the City’s various operating bank accounts, including Westamerica Bank ($13,156,506), Bank of the Marin ($188,201), and Bank of Montreal ($424,766).
As of June 30, 2026, the weighted-average yield on the portfolio was 4.01%, which results from an effective yield of 3.82% for the City’s investments in the Local Agency Investment Fund and a yield of
4.28% for the externally managed investments. The overall return on the total portfolio for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, was 4.23% with a weighted average maturity of 1 year and compares favorably to SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
the benchmark (1-3 Year Treasury Index) of 4.15%. This favorable variance is due to the improved interest rate environment over the past year, as new, higher-yield investments are being made, replacing lower-yield investments, primarily upon maturity.
The City’s investment portfolio maintains strong diversification and is experiencing growth in interest income due to higher market rates. Rising interest rates also result in reduced market valuation of several securities across the City’s portfolio, however these “paper” losses are largely negated as most of the securities within the managed portfolio are typically held to maturity. All investments comply with the City’s investment policy and California Government Code.
Economic Outlook:
Headline inflation, defined as the total unadjusted inflation rate measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), accelerated at the fastest pace in more than three years, reflecting volatility in the energy component. Crude oil, however, retraced roughly 20% from its May–early June peak as diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran pointed to a potential framework for de-escalation. The labor market remained resilient, with continued payroll growth and subdued jobless claims. Risk assets held firm, as equities hovered near record highs and credit spreads remained historically tight amid broadly better-than-expected corporate earnings. Taken together, the current market environment has further constrained the case for near-term monetary policy easing, leading the Chandler team to push out its expected timing for rate cuts beyond the six-month investment horizon.
The Federal Reserve’s June Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting ended with policymakers unanimously holding the target range at 3.50%–3.75%, a notable shift from the 8–4 split at April’s meeting, which marked Jerome Powell’s final session as Chair. Under new Chair Kevin Warsh, sworn in on May 22, the Committee released an unusually concise statement that referenced Middle East tensions and energy supply disruptions while removing prior forward guidance that had suggested a bias toward rate cuts. Updated projections leaned more hawkish, with 9 of 18 officials expecting at least one rate hike this year and 6 anticipating multiple increases. The shift signals that restoring price stability has reemerged as the central focus of monetary policy deliberations.
The City will continue to watch market trends and refine its investment strategy, as appropriate, to improve the investment portfolio’s performance while ensuring its primary goals of preservation of principal, liquidity, and yield.
The attachments include:
1. Quarterly Investment Portfolio Report
2. Historical Activity by Quarter summarizing the City’s investments
3. The City’s Investment Report from Chandler Asset Management for the period ending June 30, 2026; includes a listing of all holdings and transaction activity details for the reporting period FISCAL IMPACT:
No financial impact occurs from adopting the report. The City continues to meet the priority investment principles - safety, liquidity, yield, and diversification. The portfolio is still conservatively invested, and sufficient liquidity exists to meet daily operating and capital project requirements for the next six months.
As defined for this report, operating funds exclude cash held with fiscal agents to pay bond principal and interest.

▪
Energy prices and inflation remained the primary drivers of the macro backdrop as the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict entered its third month, disrupting global oil supply. Headline CPI accelerated at the fastest pace in more than three years, reflecting volatility in the energy component. Crude oil, however, retraced roughly 20% from its May–early June peak as diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran pointed to a potential framework for de-escalation. The labor market remained resilient, with continued payroll growth and subdued jobless claims. Risk assets held firm, as equities hovered near record highs and credit spreads remained historically tight amid broadly better-than-expected corporate earnings. Taken together, the current market environment has further constrained the case for near-term monetary policy easing, leading the Chandler team to push out its expected timing for rate cuts beyond the six-month investment horizon.
The Federal Reserve’s June FOMC meeting ended with policymakers unanimously holding the target range at 3.50%–3.75%, a notable shift from the 8–4 split at April’s meeting, which marked Jerome Powell’s final session as Chair. Under new Chair Kevin Warsh, sworn in on May 22, the Committee released an unusually concise statement that referenced Middle East tensions and energy supply disruptions while removing prior forward guidance that had suggested a bias toward rate cuts. Updated projections leaned more hawkish, with 9 of 18 officials expecting at least one rate hike this year and 6 anticipating multiple increases. The shift signals that restoring price stability has reemerged as the central focus of monetary policy deliberations.
The Treasury yield curve flattened modestly in June as short-term yields responded to a more hawkish shift in Federal Reserve guidance.
The 2-year yield rose to 4.15% from 3.98% the prior month, while the 10-year yield edged down slightly to 4.44% from 4.45%. As a result, the 2s/10s spread narrowed to 29 basis points, down from roughly 47 basis points a month earlier and significantly below the 69 basis point spread at the start of the year. Meanwhile, the 3-month/10-year spread remained positive at 64 basis points. Front-end rates absorbed the bulk of the Fed’s updated rate outlook, while longer maturities were partly anchored by a late-month decline in oil prices.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by just 57,000 in June, well below the 113,000 consensus and marking a sharp slowdown from May’s pace. The unemployment rate edged down to 4.2%, though the decline was driven by a drop in labor force participation to 61.5%, its lowest level since March 2021. Revisions further weakened the report’s signal. April payrolls were revised down by 31,000 to 148,000, while May was lowered by 43,000 to 129,000, resulting in a combined two-month downward revision of 74,000.

Job openings were essentially unchanged at 7.6 million in May, remaining elevated by historical standards even as hiring momentum moderates. Gains in wholesale trade and accommodation and food services were offset by declines in health care and social assistance, as well as finance and insurance. April openings were revised down by 33,000 to 7.6 million, while hires were revised up by 99,000, highlighting ongoing churn but a broadly stable labor market backdrop.

ENERGY MARKETS
Crude oil prices declined sharply in June as supply disruptions tied to the Middle East conflict began to ease. Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz normalized, and signs of progress in U.S.–Iran negotiations helped unwind the geopolitical risk premium that had driven prices higher earlier in the year. West Texas Intermediate settled near $69.37 per barrel on June 30, while Brent crude closed around $72.96, both well below their recent peaks. Brent’s 21% monthly decline marked its steepest drop since March 2020, while WTI fell more than 20%, its largest monthly loss since late 2021. Beyond crude, broader energy markets also softened. Refined product cracks narrowed as gasoline and diesel demand showed signs of seasonal moderation, while U.S. natural gas prices remained range-bound amid ample storage and steady production. Taken together, the retracement in oil and broader energy prices reflects a rapid compression in geopolitical risk premia and improved near-term supply visibility, even as underlying structural risks in the region remain unresolved.

Inflation firmed in May, with the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rising 0.4% on the month and 4.1% year over year, up from 3.8% in April and marking the highest annual rate of the current cycle. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.3% in May and 3.4% over the year. Energy prices remained the primary driver of the headline acceleration, reflecting supply disruptions tied to the Iranian conflict. A similar pattern was evident in the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI), which rose 0.5% on the month and 4.2% year over year, the fastest annual pace since 2023. Energy prices climbed 3.9% in May and 23.5% from a year earlier, largely due to crude oil reaching a four-year high. In contrast, core CPI rose a more modest 0.2% on the month and 2.9% year over year, indicating that inflation pressures remain concentrated in energy rather than broad-based.

0.7%, pointing to durable underlying demand. Gasoline station receipts rose as energy prices stayed high, while auto sales rebounded after an April pullback. The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index ticked up 0.6 points to 91.2 in June, though the improvement masked a further deterioration in how households view the job market, with the share calling jobs ‘hard-to-get’ climbing to a five year high.

3 Month Average
The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) edged up 0.1% in May to 99.3, following a revised 0.2% increase in April. Despite the monthly gains, the LEI’s six- and twelve-month growth rates remained negative at -0.6% and -1.5%, respectively. The advance was driven primarily by financial components, including equity prices and the interest rate spread, while consumer expectations continued to weigh on the index. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index fell to -0.10 in May from an upwardly revised 0.19 in April. Production-related and employment-related indicators each subtracted from the index, while the sales, orders, and inventories category made a small positive contribution.

Manufacturing activity cooled slightly in June, with the Institute for Supply Management's Manufacturing Index easing to 53.3%, down 0.7 percentage point from May but still marking a sixth consecutive month of expansion. Services activity also moderated, as the ISM Services Index eased to 54.0% from 54.5%, a twenty-fourth consecutive month in expansion territory. Business activity and new orders both slowed, though the employment component jumped to 51.2% from 47.9%, its strongest reading since late 2021 and the first expansion in services hiring in four months.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75% at its June 16–17 meeting, with a unanimous 12–0 vote. This marked a notable shift from the April meeting—Jerome Powell’s last as chair—which saw four dissents in an 8–4 decision. The return to consensus under Chair Kevin Warsh signals a clear change in tone. Minutes from the June meeting are scheduled for release in early July. The June Summary of Economic Projections reflected a more hawkish outlook. The median projection for the federal funds rate at year-end 2026 rose to 3.8%, up from 3.4% in March, before easing to 3.6% in 2027 and 3.4% in 2028. Officials also revised their inflation forecasts, with headline PCE projected at 3.6% in 2026 (from 2.7%) and core PCE at 3.3%. By contrast, median projections for real GDP growth and the unemployment rate—2.2% and 4.3%, respectively—were little changed.

Yield (%)
Treasury yields ended June mixed, with a modest flattening across the curve as markets digested a more hawkish Federal Reserve signal.
The 2-year yield rose to 4.15% from 3.98% at the end of May, while the 10-year yield edged down to 4.44% from 4.45%. The 2s/10s spread narrowed to 29 basis points, down from 47 basis points a month earlier. The 3-month/10-year spread remained positive at roughly 64 basis points at month-end. Relative to the 69 basis point spread at the start of 2026, the curve has flattened materially year to date, reflecting a repricing higher in front-end rates as expectations shift toward the possibility of further Fed tightening rather than easing.

Prepared by: Abe Roman, Fire Chief

City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: AMBULANCE SERVICE COST RECOVERY AGREEMENT
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT ALLOWING THE SAN RAFAEL FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN A MEDICAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFER (IGT) PROGRAM WITH THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES (DHCS) AND KAISER FOR THE SERVICE PERIOD OF JANUARY 1, 2025, THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The proposed agreement for participation in a Medi-Cal Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) for the service period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, represents the 12th year of the City’s participation in the IGT program. The IGT program is administered the following year to allow for statewide ambulance data to be calculated, which sets the IGT rate for each agency. The program assists the City in recovering costs associated with providing emergency medical services (EMS) to individuals covered by Medi-Cal. Participation in the IGT program provides an important opportunity for the City to collect ambulance transport fees that would not otherwise be available. Currently, the MediCal program reimburses far less than the actual cost to provide the service.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement allowing the San Rafael Fire Department to participate in a Medi-Cal Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) program with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and Kaiser for the service period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025.
BACKGROUND:
Since 2006, DHCS has offered public healthcare providers the opportunity to participate in a program that increases reimbursement for services provided to Medi-Cal Managed Care plan members. The DHCS Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer program (Welfare and Institutions Code §§14164, 14301.4) provides a way for Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plan providers to access federal matching funds for Medi-Cal reimbursements. In 2015, this program was expanded to include public emergency medical services (EMS) providers, such as the San Rafael Fire Department, which provides health care/ambulance services to Medi-Cal managed care enrollees. This made public EMS providers eligible for increased reimbursements from Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plan providers.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
Under the IGT program, counties and other governmental entities in the State may choose to transfer funds to the State to support the Medi-Cal program. These funds are used to match federal funds, which are eventually returned to the EMS providers through their respective Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plan providers. In Marin County, the Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plan provider is called the Partnership Health Plan of California.
Transport data is collected from each agency quarterly to calculate the program's total size and share of the reimbursement. Once collected, letters of interest are sent to each eligible agency to determine if they intend to participate. Using the letters of interest, DHCS then calculates each agency’s share of the program based on the number of returned letters of interest. Since Q4 2025 transport data is not submitted until Q1 2026, the calendar year 2025 program is administered in 2026.
For the second consecutive year, Kaiser is administering their own IGT with DHCS. Kaiser and DHCS are working together to collect the revenues concurrently and through DHCS.
ANALYSIS:
Overview of IGT Program: The IGT program requires the transfer of eligible local dollars from the City to DHCS. DHCS, in turn, uses transferred funds from local governments to increase monthly capitation rates it previously paid Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plan providers in the prior fiscal year, thus allowing DHCS to receive additional federal funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for payment to the Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plan providers. The Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plan providers then pay most of their IGT-funded rate increases to the local governments that transferred the funds. Ultimately, each participating local government receives back the funding it provided to participate in the program, plus the federal match in return.
In March 2026, DHCS and Kaiser notified the City that non-binding letters of interest must be submitted to the City to participate in the program for the service period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Since the IGT program is voluntary, the non-binding letter allows DHCS and Kaiser to better estimate how many agencies will participate, which sets the IGT contribution rate for each agency.
Staff submitted the non-binding letters of interest and have been working with DHCS and Kaiser to develop the necessary agreement for participation. In June 2026, DHCS provided an estimated transfer amount for both DHCS and Kaiser based on the returned letters of interest from participating agencies with a standard agreement that all participating agencies must sign (Attachment 1). DHCS is requesting the agreement be returned by August 31, 2026.
Transfer from the City to the State: Once CMS has approved the entire IGT transaction, and the plan rate contracts have been signed by DHCS and the Medi-Cal Managed Care Health Plans throughout the State, DHCS will submit a request to participating agencies to transfer funds to the State. With the City Council’s approval, the City will transfer an estimated $385,643 to DHCS. Additionally, the City will make a separate estimated payment of $77,129 (20%) to DHCS and Kaiser as authorized in Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14301.4, to cover the administrative costs (assessment fee) of operating the IGT program for the service period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. If the State is unable to use all the transferred funds to increase plan rates, it will return any used funds and the associated 20% administrative fee.
Payment to the City: Federal matching funds received by the City will be used to promote the wellbeing of Partnership HealthPlan of California beneficiaries by maintaining the current service levels of the paramedic program. DHCS, Kaiser, and the Partnership HealthPlan of California cannot provide the City a revenue estimate until they receive all participants' signed IGT Agreements. The Fire Department SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
expects to net roughly $434,453 for the service period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, based on prior year revenues.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The IGT will support the Emergency Medical Services Fund by recovering a greater portion of its ambulance transport costs.
The DHCS agreement provides approximate transfer amounts based on information provided to the City by Kaiser and Partnership HealthPlan of California, the County’s Medi-Cal Managed Health Care Plan provider. A summary of the amount the City expects to transfer to DHCS and receive back through participation in this program is outlined below.

The amount transferred shall be based on the sum of the applicable rate category per member per month (“PMPM”) contribution increments multiplied by member months, as reflected in Exhibit
1. The GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to initially transfer amounts that are calculated using the Estimated Member Months in Exhibit 1, which will be reconciled to actual enrollment for the service period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 in accordance with Sub-Section 1.3 of this Agreement. The funds transferred shall be used as described in SubSection 2.2 of this Agreement. The funds shall be transferred in accordance with the terms and conditions, including schedule and amount, established by DHCS.
1.2 The GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY shall certify that the funds transferred qualify for Federal Financial Participation pursuant to 42 C.F.R. part 433, subpart B, and are not derived from impermissible sources such as recycled Medicaid payments, Federal money excluded from use as State match, impermissible taxes, and non-bona fide provider- CONTRACT # IGT-25-0022

related donations. Impermissible sources do not include patient care or other revenue received from programs such as Medicare or Medicaid to the extent that the program revenue is not obligated to the State as the source of funding.
1.3 DHCS shall reconcile the “Estimated Member Months,” in Exhibit 1, to actual enrollment in HEALTH PLAN(S) for the service period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 using actual enrollment figures taken from DHCS records. Enrollment reconciliation will occur on an ongoing basis as updated enrollment figures become available.
Actual enrollment figures will be considered final two years after December 31, 2025. If reconciliation results in an increase to the total amount necessary to fund the nonfederal share of the payments described in Sub-Section 2.2, the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to transfer any additional funds necessary to cover the difference. If reconciliation results in a decrease to the total amount necessary to fund the nonfederal share of the payments described in Sub-Section 2.2, DHCS agrees to return the unexpended funds to the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY. If DHCS and the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY mutually agree, amounts due to or owed by the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY may be offset against future transfers.
2. Acceptance and Use of Transferred Funds
2.1 DHCS shall exercise its authority under section 14164 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to accept funds transferred by the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY pursuant to this Agreement as Intergovernmental Transfer (IGTs), to use for the purpose set forth in Sub-Section 2.2.
2.2 The funds transferred by the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY pursuant to Section 1 and Exhibit 1 of this Agreement shall be used to fund the non-federal share CONTRACT # IGT-25-0022

of Medi-Cal Managed Care actuarially sound capitation rates described in section 14301.4(b)(4) of the Welfare and Institutions Code as reflected in the contribution PMPM and rate categories reflected in Exhibit 1. The funds transferred shall be paid, together with the related Federal Financial Participation, by DHCS to HEALTH PLAN(S) as part of HEALTH PLAN(S)’ capitation rates for the service period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, in accordance with section 14301.4 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
2.3 DHCS shall seek Federal Financial Participation for the capitation rates specified in Sub-Section 2.2 to the full extent permitted by federal law.
2.4 The parties acknowledge that DHCS will obtain any necessary approvals from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
2.5 DHCS shall not direct HEALTH PLAN(S)’ expenditure of the payments received pursuant to Sub-Section 2.2.
3. Assessment Fee
3.1 DHCS shall exercise its authority under section 14301.4 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to assess a 20 percent fee related to the amounts transferred pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement, except as provided in Sub-Section 3.2. GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to pay the full amount of that assessment in addition to the funds transferred pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement.
3.2 The 20-percent assessment fee shall not be applied to any portion of funds transferred pursuant to Section 1 that are exempt in accordance with sections 14301.4(d) or 14301.5(b)(4) of the Welfare and Institutions Code. DHCS shall have sole discretion to determine the amount of the funds transferred pursuant to Section 1 that will not be subject to a CONTRACT # IGT-25-0022
4 Template Version - 1/2026
20 percent fee. DHCS has determined that $0.00 of the transfer amounts will not be assessed a 20 percent fee, subject to Sub-Section 3.3.
3.3 The 20-percent assessment fee pursuant to this Agreement is nonrefundable and shall be wired to DHCS simultaneously with the transfer amounts made under Section 1 of this Agreement. If at the time of the reconciliation performed pursuant to SubSection 1.3 of this Agreement, there is a change in the amount transferred that is subject to the 20-percent assessment in accordance with Sub-Section 3.1, then a proportional adjustment to the assessment fee will be made.
4. Amendments

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Library and Recreation
Prepared by: Craig Veramay, Assistant Library
and Recreation Director
City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: ART LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR FIVE UTILITY BOX MURALS SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO ART LICENSE
AGREEMENTS WITH THE SAN RAFAEL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO PAINT FIVE
ART MURALS ON DOWNTOWN UTILITY BOXES
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or their designee to enter into an Art License Agreement with the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce to paint five (5) art murals on downtown traffic control utility boxes.
BACKGROUND:
At their July 15, 2026, regular meeting, the Public Art Review Board recommended that a proposal from the Downtown San Rafael Business Improvement District (BID) to paint five (5) traffic control utility boxes in downtown San Rafael with art murals advance to the City Council for final review and approval. The BID is an assessment district established by Chapter 10.09 of the San Rafael Municipal Code, and the City contracts with the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) to provide support for activities within the BID's purview.
The mural painting project is a collaboration between the BID and the Downtown San Rafael Arts District (DSRAD), supported by $10,000 of California Arts Council Cultural District grant funding. The BID’s full proposal, including a project overview, program guidelines, call for artists, artist details, installation requirements, maintenance and lifespan expectations, project budget, and proposed artwork and locations, is available in Attachment 1 – Downtown San Rafael Business Improvement District Utility Box Art Program Proposal.
The BID’s long-term goal is to create a sustainable annual utility box painting program, using BID fundraising or local sponsorships to install at least one new painted utility box each year. Establishing a permanent program will also help the BID coordinate the maintenance and restoration of existing painted boxes throughout downtown, many of which are currently unpainted or are fading with age.
ANALYSIS:
The BID launched an open call for artists in Spring 2026 with a theme of “San Rafael – The Heart of Marin.” Artists were invited to create original designs inspired by the culture, diversity, history, SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
environment, and spirit of San Rafael and Marin County. The BID received 20 submissions from local and regional artists. Proposals were reviewed by a committee comprised of DSRAD stakeholders. The committee considered artistic quality, originality, public appropriateness, and connection to the project theme, and ultimately selected five proposals for project funding and City review.
For long-term installations (longer than 1 year), the City Council has the final authority to review and approve them. If approved by Council, the Chamber will pay artists a $1,300 stipend to paint their design and will be responsible for overall project coordination, artist communication, installation scheduling, and ongoing project management, in partnership with City staff.
This program expands upon utility box art projects created by the San Rafael Chamber Leadership Institute in 2019 and 2024 and establishes a sustainable model for adding new public art to downtown each year. The BID’s long-term goal is to beautify downtown streets, support local artists with paid opportunities, reduce graffiti through creative placemaking, and create fun walking destinations for the community.
Prior to soliciting art proposals, the BID consulted with the City’s Department of Public Works to identify traffic control utility box locations within the downtown corridor that were suitable for this project. Of those locations, five (5) were identified as preferred locations:
Traffic Control Utility Box Proposed Locations
• 4th & E St
• 4th & C St
• 5th & C
• 3rd & Lootens St
• 4th & Heatherton St
These utility box locations have been reviewed and approved for painting by the Department of Public Works, pending compliance with the applicable construction barricade and minor temporary encroachment permit requirements.
Criteria for Proposal Evaluation
The Public Art Review Board reviews proposals in alignment with the City’s Public Art Review Guidelines, which include:
Project Readiness: The proposal indicates that the project is ready and that the BID has adequate capacity and expertise to manage it effectively.
Qualifications: The BID and the proposed artists appear to have the qualifications and expertise to create high-quality artwork in alignment with the City’s Public Art Guidelines.
Funding: The BID’s proposal includes a program budget that appears to cover all project costs, including permits, box preparation and sanding, artist stipends, anti-graffiti coating, marketing and promotion, and program administration.
Community Engagement: The City has received several e-mails from community members in support of the project (Attachment 2) and has not received any opposition to the installation to date. The review committee was comprised of several DSRAD stakeholders, representatives of the downtown arts community, and the project appears to align with the City’s public art guidelines for community interest.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
Maintenance: The proposed artwork is expected to have an approximately 5-year lifespan and will be treated with an anti-graffiti coating. Additionally, the BID intends to create a sustainable annual utility box art program that will periodically review the condition of existing boxes and touch up or paint over boxes that have reached the end of their useful lifespan.
Design: The proposed designs appear to align with the City’s guidelines, which state that works of art will be designed with consideration of the work's relevance and appropriateness to the site's context, and in alignment with public safety and decency.
Diversity: Artists and the City's public art collection should reflect the diversity of San Rafael’s community. The Public Art Review Board shall monitor the overall development of public art projects, encouraging balance in the City’s collection over time with respect to background, gender, and other identities of artists selected and with respect to styles of expression, media, and genre.
If approved, the City would enter into Art License Agreements with the artists to clarify rights and ownership of the final artwork. City staff recommends approval of this proposal because it adheres to the City’s Public Art Review Guidelines. In addition, the goals of the Public Art Program align with the City’s Three-Year Strategic Plan, including Goal A.3.1 to “Deliver placemaking elements through funded public art projects in the Downtown San Rafael Art District” and Goal A.1.3 to “Drive local economic activity through promotion of destination tourism, enhancing special events, and optimizing city-owned assets by leveraging targeted marketing initiatives.”
FISCAL IMPACT:
The San Rafael Business Improvement District fully funds this project; therefore, there is no impact to the City’s General Fund.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into Art License Agreements to install the artwork.
2. Request the proposal be returned to the Public Art Review Board with modifications.
3. Decline to authorize the City Manager to enter into Art License Agreements
4. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or their designee to enter into an Art License Agreement with the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce to paint five (5) art murals on downtown traffic control utility boxes.

Utility Box Art Program 2026
Public Art Review Board Packet
Project Overview
The Downtown San Rafael Business Improvement District (BID) is proud to present the 2026 Utility Box Art Program, a new permanent public art initiative transforming traffic signal utility boxes throughout Downtown San Rafael into works of public art.
The program supports the BID’s ongoing efforts to beautify Downtown, celebrate local creativity, reduce graffiti, and strengthen public art programming in the district.
To launch the program, the BID requested $10,000 in funding support from the Downtown San Rafael Arts District (DSRAD) through California Cultural Arts District (CAC) grant funds. This initial funding supports artist stipends, materials, and implementation for the first phase of the project.
The BID’s long-term goal is to create a sustainable annual program, using BID fundraising or local sponsorship dollars to install at least one new painted utility box each year. Establishing a permanent program will also help the BID coordinate maintenance and restoration of existing painted boxes throughout Downtown, many of which are now faded from age.
The 2026 theme, “San Rafael – The Heart of Marin,” invited artists to create original designs inspired by the culture, diversity, history, environment, and spirit of San Rafael and Marin County.
The BID launched an open Call for Artists in Spring 2026 and received 20 submissions from local and regional artists.
A DSRAD review committee evaluated proposals based on artistic quality, originality, public appropriateness, and connection to the project theme. The five selected designs are included in this packet.
This packet includes:
1. Program Overview
2. Rules, Guidelines, and Timeline
3. Proposed Project Budget
4. Selected Artist Submissions and Renderings
5. Proposed Utility Box Locations
The BID will oversee project coordination, artist communication, installation scheduling, and ongoing program management in partnership with City staff.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this community beautification initiative. We look forward to continuing to expand public art opportunities throughout Downtown San Rafael.

Piece Title: Horizon in Motion
This concept is a meditation on convergence where sky, mountain and ocean meet in a harmonious rhythm. Inspired by the landscapes of Marin County, it highlights Marin’s shifting atmospheres into a fluid, almost dreamlike language. The layered horizon evokes Mount Tamalpais rising in the background while the stylized forest honors the tree and plant life in the region. The warm gradient sky wraps around the box framing the artwork.
The water-like forms in the foreground are both wave and current, but also something more symbolic: they represent the natural forces that shape Marin’s identity. Tides, wind, erosion and renewal. The warm heart shape on the front of the box hints at continuity and connection, echoing the ways in which land and water are inseparable here. The color contrast between warm oranges and cool blues reacts the sunlit ridges and the cool Pacic, a balance that denes the region’s visual character.
Ultimately, this piece is about harmony within movement. It invites viewers to consider how distinct elements, such as sky, earth and sea can coexist in dynamic equilibrium. In Marin County, these intersections are not static; they are alive, shifting with each hour and season. This painting seeks to honor that living landscape, translating its energy into a visual rhythm that is both grounded and fluid.

Piece Title: San Rafael “Owlie”
I'm excited to bring my owl art work to a new city. In 2024 I worked with SFMTA to add my owl designs to utility boxes on the Van Ness corridor in San Francisco. Strangers and friends continue to reach out after passing my murals thanking me for enriching their neighborhood, commutes or evenings out in downtown. Having the opportunity to spread joy and color to the community of San Rafael with public art would be an honor. Ïy owl designs are a universal symbol and icon the public recognizes and enjoys engaging with. The owls read quickly from a distance and as people get closer the nuances of color and texture surprise and delight. The owl imagery is inspired by hikes and trail runs I've done in Marin (and across The Bay Area) with my friends and family. The juxtaposition of an owl mural in a cityscape, especially San Rafael which is surrounded by rich natural beauty, reminds viewers of the treasures of the trees and environment adjacent to downtown. ßor this series of owls, I will create a stencil from my photography as I did in the 2024 SFMTA Utility Box project. However, this owl stencil will be much larger and occupy the entire facade of each panel of the utility box. This simplifies the design and enhances the readability of the iconography for viewers walking or driving past the mural.

Piece Title: Heart in the Right Place
As a surrealist painter, I'm always inspired by unconventional ways to move through the world. Magritte is a major influence. He said:
"Everything we see hides another thing. We always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and what the visible doesn't show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling—a sort of conflict one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is apparent." This idea strikes a chord in me for this project because our hearts--used for empathy, kindness, inclusion,compassion--are the "visible that is hidden." I first saw this in action in 2020 when standing in line for my first Covid vaccination at Marin Community Clinic. Hundreds of people stood in line and followed rules while a few practitioners worked tirelessly. I've seen it when volunteering with the folks who run the Brown Bag Pantry at Vivalon--greeting and treating each elder participant with dignity. I even recognize it when my neighbors are scared to leave their homes in fear of ICE and collaborate for assistance with The Canal Alliance. People are sent to deliver goods directly to their door. Our understanding that our mind is for logic & reason alone, and that the heart is for feeling & emotion, suggests they are mutually exclusive. Yet, we are simultaneously capable of making thoughtful and compassionate choices. Some of us move forward in this world as though we have more than one heart. I feel that San Rafael is full of people like this. The visible that is hidden is this human grace.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A GRANT AGREEMENT AND
ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE GRANT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the acceptance and appropriation of State of California Office of Traffic Safety grant funds in the amount of $108,500 for the “Selective Traffic Enforcement Program” (STEP) grant covering the period from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the grant agreement and any other documents related to the grant.
BACKGROUND:
Over the last ten years, the State of California's Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has awarded more than $1 million in traffic safety grants to the City of San Rafael. These grants have included “Click it or Ticket” distracted driving grants, DUI mini-grants, DUI Enforcement and Awareness grants, and STEP grants.
Each grant has provided critical traffic enforcement and education operations by funding the deployment of officers for DUI / DL checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, red light and speed enforcement, seat belt enforcement, and distracted driving enforcement. For the period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, the SRPD received a $105,000 STEP grant. Currently, the only available funding is through the STEP grant program. This funding supported and enhanced our enforcement and education campaigns, as well as training for our personnel.
ANALYSIS:
The City of San Rafael has tentatively been awarded a $108,500 grant by the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to improve traffic safety in the community. The primary objective of this grant is to reduce fatalities and injuries caused by traffic collisions. Key areas of focus include collisions involving alcohol and drugs, distracted driving, and other primary causes of traffic incidents.
Should the City Council approve acceptance of this grant, the San Rafael Police Department (SRPD) will have the necessary funds to enhance its enforcement efforts by launching safety awareness campaigns, SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
conducting targeted operations against impaired and distracted driving, conducting targeted operations against impaired and distracted driving, and implementing initiatives to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety. The SRPD will implement evidence-based strategies to address these issues through education and enforcement. The grant also supports specialized training, supplies, and equipment for officers to address these specific areas. Operations funded by the grant are scheduled to occur from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds would be appropriated in the Grant Safety Fund (281) in the amount of $108,500, with an offsetting increase in grant revenue from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety in the same amount.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The San Rafael Police Department serves the people that live, work, and visit the City of San Rafael. San Rafael serves as the seat of Marin County and has a population of approximately 61,271 residents (US Census 2020).
Business and commerce bring people and traffic into San Rafael from other areas of the San Francisco Bay Area. The service population of San Rafael during the day swells to well over 100,000 people. The US-101 Freeway and Interstate 580 intersect in San Rafael, providing a substantial volume of traffic during morning and evening commute hours along with steady traffic flow during non-commute hours. As in other parts of the San Francisco Bay Area, the traditional commute hours start earlier and conclude well into the evening. Additionally, I-580 serves as an alternate route for commuters when State Route 37 is closed due to flooding or crashes and an alternate route for the San Francisco Bay Bridge when it faces similar circumstances. These frequent events significantly increase traffic volumes far beyond our surface streets designed capabilities.
Much of the traffic is concentrated in the downtown area, which is further congested by on-ramps and offramps connecting northbound and southbound US-101, plus eastbound/westbound I-580. The surrounding streets have an arterial effect, serving commuters from two neighboring cities and communities on the west side of Marin County. San Rafael's Downtown surface streets serve as arterial thoroughfares for the cities and communities of San Anselmo, Ross, Fairfax, and West Marin. San Rafael has served as a service hub and stopping point between the Wine Country to the north and San Francisco to the south for restaurants, gas stations, services, supplies, and other amenities.
San Rafael has additional arterial thoroughfares that have some of the highest traffic volumes in Marin County. These streets include Lincoln Avenue, which runs from the Terra Linda neighborhoods in northern San Rafael to downtown. Manuel T. Freitas Parkway and Las Gallinas Avenue that service the Terra Linda Neighborhoods and provide access to three major shopping centers/malls as well as provide routes to most residences in northern San Rafael. Francisco Boulevard East, Andersen Drive, and Bellam Boulevard all provide routes from Central San Rafael to the city's industrial, commercial, and additional high-density residential complexes. These three streets also provide alternate access in and around US-101 and Interstate 580 Junction. Francisco Boulevard East is a primary route for pedestrians and bicycles that use the San Rafael Richmond Bridge and commute into Central San Rafael. It is also an alternative route for motorists when Interstate 580 is impacted by crashes or heavy traffic.
The San Rafael Transit Center, the largest transit center in the County and the North Bay Area, is in Downtown San Rafael. The San Rafael Transit Center is serviced by several transit authorities and transportation companies, such as Golden Gate Transit, Marin Transit, Sonoma County Transit, Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART Train), Vivalon, Greyhound, Marin Airporter, Sonoma County Airport Express, various taxi services, rideshare, app-based ride services, and many others. Due to the significant volume of traffic through and around the transit has prompted local, county, state, and transportation authorities to look at expanding and moving the transit center within San Rafael's downtown to increase its service capability. While this project is in the early planning stages, it is not expected to resolve or reduce traffic congestion impacts necessarily. The transit center will remain in the busiest portion of downtown, somewhere along Heatherton Street, which parallels the US-101 freeway.
The downtown SMART train station, the San Rafael Transit Center, the US-101 ramps into downtown San Rafael, and the arterial streets of Second Street and Third Street that provide routes to neighboring cities and communities have caused significant congestion with vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. Additionally, all these identified locations are within a block of each other. The proximity of these specific points has made the intersections that border them the busiest in the city. It has also been the area of a significant amount of injury pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle crashes.
One of those is the intersection of Third Street and Hetherton Street. During the previous year, this intersection was redesigned to help facilitate vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and transit traffic. The intersection of Third Street and Heatherton Street had been identified as one of the more dangerous intersections of San Rafael. It had been the scene of numerous fatal and injury crashes. Based on the studies of these hazardous conditions, San Rafael's Department of Public Works Traffic Engineering Division moved crosswalks, expanded high visibility traffic signaling, implemented an all-red program 7/22/2026 8:22:26 AM Page 5 of 24
(allowing pedestrians to have initial access to crosswalks while vehicle traffic remained stopped), and additional signage. The police department and traffic engineers continue to work together on this intersection through task force safety improvement meetings, public education, and enforcement.
In addition, San Rafael High School and Davidson Middle School are located within 0.5 miles of the transit center. Most of the student population from both schools walk to the transit center to take public transit or walk through the downtown area.
Our traffic engineering team also identified the top busiest routes in San Rafael. The study showed that the #1 route continued to be the east-west running Second and Third Streets, which provide access between downtown and the neighboring cities of San Anselmo, Fairfax, and the smaller unincorporated communities in West Marin. Second and Third Streets had a daily average count of 42,000+ vehicles combined. It should be noted that Second Street and Third Street are three-lane one-way streets. The #2 route was Bellam Boulevard between Francisco Boulevard East and Andersen Drive (located in the southeast portion of the city), with a daily average vehicle count of 30,000 vehicles.
In November 2019, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike/pedestrian path opened. We have experienced a significant increase in commuter bicycling that runs from San Rafael's west-end, through downtown, and onto the east-end where the San Rafael Richmond Bridge is located. This increase in bicycle traffic has created the opportunity to add dedicated bicycle lanes and re-route traditional bicycle routes to streets and thoroughfares currently under construction to accommodate the new volume of cyclists. Additional infrastructure improvement projects are planned well into 2024. These improvements and changes will task the Traffic Engineering Division and the Police Department with new efforts aimed at public education, outreach, and high-visibility traffic enforcement.
The city's customer service satisfaction surveys have identified the public's concern surrounding traffic congestion and safety. Traffic safety concerns mostly revolve around speed, red-light running, vehicles violating the pedestrian right of way, DUI, and reckless driving. San Rafael's elected officials, leaders, and responsible departments work together, with limited resources, to address these issues collaboratively through community outreach and education, infrastructure improvement projects, and enforcement.
In addition to the concerns expressed in the satisfaction surveys, ongoing community traffic complaints have focused on speeding concerns in four consistently identified locations. Those locations have been identified as Point San Pedro Road in the city's east end, the Miracle Mile (eastbound Fourth and Second Streets) in the west end, Third Street and Mission Street at San Rafael High School, and Nova Albion Way at Terra Linda High School. These traffic complaint locations have also received the attention of our City Council and city leadership. City Council members and leaders have partnered with the police department to conduct community outreach through neighborhood organizations/homeowners' associations to generate community awareness that holds citizens and neighbors accountable to each other.
To further assist with outreach and enforcement, our Motor/Traffic Unit currently uses its three RADAR feedback trailers full-time between these top four complaint locations and based upon community identified problem locations. While this has been beneficial for education, it still is not the cure. The need for additional outreach and enforcement continues in these and many other problematic areas.
Crash data from 2022 through 2025 indicated that most of the city's crashes occur due to unsafe turns, excessive/unsafe speed, red-light violations, and driving under the influence. For 2025 specifically, we saw that the primary crash factor of driving under the influence remains in the top #3 position. This statistic further supports the need for additional partnerships, education, and enforcement.
During 2023-2024, SRPD continued to work on reducing these incidents and improving our rankings. The SRPD is encouraged to report that we showed a decrease in total crashes, down 22 from 729 to 707, a decrease in injury crashes (down 6, from 81 to 75), a decrease in hit and run crashes (down 29, 140 to 121), decrease in alcohol related crashes (down 4, from 86 to 82), and decreased vehicle pedestrian crashes (down 9, from 58 to 49).
In 2025, the City of San Rafael observed a reduction in total crashes (down 63, from 707 to 644), a slight reduction in alcohol-related crashes (down 2, from 82 to 80), a further reduction in non-fatal injuries from crashes (down 6, from 261 to 255), and a decrease in vehicle vs pedestrian crashes (down 5, from 49 to 44). Although overall crashes were reduced in 2025, SRPD observed a substantial increase in fatalities due to crashes, (up 3, from 1 to 4), a 300% increase, in 2025.
Additionally, the above data nearly mirrors 2023 OTS Ranking Data, which indicates the lowest-performing ranking (1/108) for cities of our size, as it pertains to pedestrian injuries and deaths. As a result of the 2025 data, it is the expectation that the City of San Rafael will continue to rate poorly in terms of the safety of its pedestrians and as such, expect to continue to heavily focus on reducing these risks through enforcement and education.
7/22/2026 8:22:26 AM Page 6 of 24
These statistics reflect that San Rafael has disproportionate number of crashes involving bicyclists, pedestrians, and those under the influence.
Since San Rafael is ranked in the top ten for pedestrian and bicycle crashes based on 2022 SWITRS crash data and will likely remain in the top ten categories based on local statistics for 2023 and 2024. We have significant and ongoing work that needs to be done to bring these numbers down. San Rafael also recognizes that the statistics for 2022, 2023, and 2024 for crashes involving driving under the influence are unacceptable. We must continue to work on driving these numbers down as well.
As a result, the police department will continue additional community outreach, education, and high-visibility well-publicized enforcement operations. It is also recognized that partnerships maintained with other city departments and allied agencies, such as the city's Department of Public Works Traffic Engineering Division, the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the California Highway Patrol (CHP), and other Marin County Law Enforcement Agencies are vital in addressing these identified problem areas. SRPD is currently collaborating with the CHP and other Marin County Law Enforcement Agencies to conduct traffic enforcement operations in shared jurisdictions and other locations where similar problems have been identified.
Through recent statistics, education, and press releases, it has been well established that California, its counties, and local jurisdictions have all seen a significant increase in fatal and injury crashes in the years that followed the COVID-19 Pandemic. The CHP has been reporting a record number of citations issued for speeds in excess of 100 MPH. Additionally, many statistics show that speed is becoming a significant factor in recent crash data throughout the state. This is why the San Rafael Police Department recognizes the need for collaborative efforts between city departments and our regional law enforcement partners for all identified problems; it is not just a local jurisdiction problem.
SRPD has, in the past, planned joint traffic enforcement operations with the CHP on Point San Pedro Road and along the US-101 corridor. We have also communicated with our Marin County Law Enforcement agencies that we have OTS STEP Grant funding to assist them with their identified traffic enforcement needs. SRPD has been conducting regular traffic safety task force meetings, monthly, with our traffic engineers to identify and mitigate traffic safety issues through infrastructure upgrades and collaborative review of future capital improvement projects.
Unexpectedly in 2022, San Rafael became a meeting point for two covertly organized street racing and sideshow events connected to Cinco de Mayo (May 5, 2022) and Guatemalan Independence Day (September 15, 2022). The event on May 5 impacted the Canal Neighborhood with several sideshows into the night and strained police resources. The event on September 15 involved over 100 vehicles and had over 1000 spectators. The participants converged on the Northgate Mall, and the illegal street racing and sideshow quickly got out of control. Mutual aid resources responded and seemed to have minimal effect on the dangerous behavior. Once the illegal event left the mall, it moved into the Canal Neighborhood, where it forced the closure of streets and impacted emergency response to calls for service unrelated to the sideshow. SRPD fielded numerous complaints from residents. Based on this event and the increase throughout the San Francisco Bay Area with street racing and sideshows, In 2023 SRPD increased staffing to deter any street racing or sideshow activity. The plan put in place was not adequate to deter the large crowds of spectators and vehicle traffic. Again the Canal neighborhood was overrun with unsafe sideshow activity and street racing. The streets were completely congested delaying emergency response to the area. Two stabbings and a shooting occurred during this event and made it nearly impossible for emergency services to respond quickly to administer aid to the victims. In 2024, SRPD got ahead of the the potential lawlessness and reached out to surrounding Marin county law enforcement agencies. On September 15th, 2024, 45 sworn personnel both uniformed and plain clothes conducted high visibility patrol in the area and kept the peace that Independence day. SRPD will need the resources from its partners for better intelligence gathering and enforcement efforts. SRPD will also request additional funding to conduct enforcement operations through the OTS STEP Grant to increase safety during these unsanctioned events.
In 2025, the SRPD responded in similar fashion to this event, with a large number of personnel, four of which were specially trained in vehicle inspection investigations, two of which were trained on side show enforcement, as well as high visibility Officers such as foot beat Officers, motorcycle Officers, bicycle Officers, etc. The result was continued activity, with reduced violence. The problem of side show activity on public roadways, illegally modified vehicles impacting our environment and other dangerous driving such as speed, failure to yield to pedestrians, failing to stop at stop signs, distracted driving and seat belt violations was still prominent. SRPD’s response and enforcement to these events directly addressed these risk factors.
In this same time period, the City of San Rafael, as many other jurisdictions, has seen a significant increase in e-bicycle and e-motorcycle usage and violations. In late 2025, SRPD conducted in-house training to 7/22/2026 8:22:26 AM Page 7 of 24
prepare Officers for E-bicycle and E-motorcycle enforcement, as well as outreach to city hotspots (such as High Schools) and created an in-house E-Bicycle safety and legal training course for the public, which we intend on holding numerous times throughout 2026 and 2027 to members of the public. This is expected to expand in scope and quantity as the continued use of E-bicycles and E-motorcycles grows.
Based on the events and statistics from 2022 through 2025, the police department has set a goal to expand its pedestrian/bicycle enforcement, general traffic enforcement, and DUI enforcement operations. We have also identified that to keep these goals; we must strive to keep our personnel numbers at full staffing authorization levels. We also recognize that much of our traffic and DUI enforcement efforts will need to be done through extra-duty assignments since current resource priorities must be directed to 9-1-1 emergency calls, calls for service, and case investigations.
Most newly hired officers face a learning curve, especially in traffic safety and DUI investigations. The ongoing ability to send officers to SFST/ARIDE DUI classes and RADAR/LIDAR classes will be essential to meeting the goals of DUI enforcement and traffic enforcement operations.
There are currently four motor officers assigned to the Traffic Unit not including a riding Sergeant. At times, they are asked to assist with patrol staffing requirements. This increase in workload has resulted in a significant decrease in proactive traffic enforcement by motor officers. Police Chief David C. Spiller has assessed current department staffing and the ability to match the demand for services that are important to the community and determined that the department needs to add eight additional sworn personnel.
The current option for the police department to expand traffic, pedestrian, bicycle, and DUI enforcement operations is to provide extra-duty overtime assignments and shifts. Since every police department's priority is to respond to 9-1-1 emergency calls, crimes-in-progress, and investigate criminal cases, this limits free and available time with minimal staff to work proactively on specific and important issues, such as trafficrelated enforcement programs.
Based on the events and statistics from 2022 through 2025, the police department has set a goal to expand and/or maintain its pedestrian/bicycle enforcement, general traffic enforcement, and DUI enforcement operations. We have also identified that to keep these goals; we must strive to keep our personnel numbers at full staffing authorization levels. We also recognize that much of our traffic and DUI enforcement efforts will need to be done through extra-duty assignments since current resource priorities must be directed to 9- 1-1 emergency calls, calls for service, and case investigations.
With our limited resources, Police Department leadership have directed patrol officers to reduce DUIs, red signal light violations, speed-related crashes, and increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety enforcement when available during their shifts. Statistical information and analysis have been provided to police personnel to show where enforcement deployments should occur. SRPD maintains a traffic information board that shows where the top crash intersection are, what the top PCF's are, where the most traffic safety complaints are occurring, where DUI incidents and arrests are occurring, posting DMV DUI Offender Hot List, and by posting the Marin County Adult Probation Department DUI Top Offender List.
The current goal for the police department is to expand traffic, pedestrian, bicycle, and DUI enforcement operations to provide extra-duty overtime assignments and shifts.
With California's "Freedom to Walk Act" enacted in 2023, SRPD and our traffic engineering division are concerned that we will see an increase in pedestrian-related crashes. While this law takes effect, we also see an alarming statistic from the Governor's Highway Safety Association that shows pedestrian injuries and fatalities increased nationwide. This increase was stated to be occurring at faster rates than the increases in all other traffic fatalities. SRPD intends to focus further enforcement efforts on reducing pedestrian and bicycle crashes. SRPD will conduct highly publicized pedestrian operations that involve crosswalk stings, vehicle/pedestrian saturation patrols, community outreach, education, media campaigns, partner with the Transportation Authority of Marin, and continue to work with our traffic engineers on improving current infrastructure to discourage dangerous behavior by pedestrians, bicycles, and motorists.
Since unsafe speed was ranked as a significant primary cause of crashes in 2023, 2024 and 2025, the police department identified that it needed to continue to deploy its tools and equipment to conduct these focused traffic enforcement operations. Sworn personnel have access to and use seven LIDAR units as a result of current OTS STEP Grants. SRPD regularly deploys speed feedback trailers. All three trailers will be kept in service year-round as a tool for speed reduction and community awareness. Additionally, SRPD is committed to the ongoing training of officers to be certified in using LIDAR/RADAR. In 2025, we anticipate more officers will be sent to POST-certified RADAR/LIDAR as part of the department's advanced officer training program.
The police department has observed that DUI saturation patrol operations and DUI checkpoints are effective in locating and apprehending DUI drivers and being an educational outreach tool. The police department has used press releases and social media platforms to highly publicize the DUI checkpoints and DUI 7/22/2026 8:22:26 AM Page 8 of 24
saturation patrol operations to raise awareness about DUI with the public. While SRPD had significant staffing issues that occurred due to required training, long-term injuries, and separations, which caused the cancellation and/or delay of several DUI saturation patrols during 2024, we still made efforts to complete a majority of the operations granted to us. During this current OTS STEP Grant (2025- 2026), SRPD is using forecasting tools to accomplish DUI saturation and checkpoint objectives. SRPD is looking forward to being fully staffed with sworn personnel by the end of 2026. With that said, the traffic division will hopefully increase in size which will allow SRPD to be more visible on the roadways, deter bad driving through enforcement action and education.
The police department intends to promote community awareness and education. In fact, in 2026, SRPD expanded its outreach with more community engagement programs, at least one scheduled community member police academies in both Spanish and English, and expanded its social media team for more frequent postings, outreach, and education.
We have planned and will continue to plan more aggressive enforcement strategies to reduce the number of pedestrians and bicyclists injured and killed by conducting highly publicized crosswalk enforcement stings, pedestrian enforcement saturation patrols, bicycle enforcement saturation patrols, and engagement with our local bicycle coalition, neighborhood groups, and neighborhood associations. We have committed to continuing our traffic safety task force partnership with our city traffic engineers to improve infrastructure that increases pedestrian/vehicle visibility and safety. For this grant specifically, the San Rafael Police Department is requesting funding for pedestrian/bicycle enforcement operations.
In closing, this Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grant will significantly increase the police department's ability to employ its enforcement strategies to reduce persons killed or injured in traffic crashes. With a focused enforcement plan designed through the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program, the department will be more successful in curbing the identified and statistically supported problems associated with intoxicated drivers, excessive/unsafe speeding vehicles, red-light running, vehicle/pedestrian right-ofway violations, distracted driving, and other aggressive driving behaviors.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
In 2025, SRPD was able to reduce people killed in recorded 80 alcohol -related crashes by 50%, pedestrian injury, resulting in 22 injuries or fatalities. In addition, SRPD made 168 driving under the influence (DUI) arrests. SRPD did observe a substantial reduction in both years 2024 and 2025 in total injuries from alcoholrelated crashes by 27.3 %, bicycle, when compared with 2023 OTS Ranking Totals (22, down from 45).
This data shows SRPD’s commitment to reducing alcohol and intoxication-related injury crashes by 19.4 % and, however based on the above numbers it is likely that the City of San Rafael is still in the bottom 20th percentile of alcohol-related injuries for cities our size.
Additionally, in 2025 SRPD saw a 200% increase in night injury crashes down by 6.8%. SRPD continues to strive to do better and the fact that some our statistics do show a decline we still have some goals to reach and crash areas to reduce such as nighttime injury crashes (2300-0259) which are up 200 % and hit and run injury crashes and a 33% increase in motorcycle injury crashes are both up 33%.
The above are clear areas of concern that SRPD has identified as needing additional enforcement and education to protect the public from risk of injury while driving on our roadways.
Consequently, SRPD is asking for additional funding in the area of for DUI Saturation patrols and DUI checkpoints. High visibility and education is a key step in the right direction for SRPD to work with the motoring public in order to reduce these crash problem areas.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
As San Rafael looks ahead to 2027, traffic safety remains a critical and unresolved challenge affecting pedestrians, motorists, and bicyclists alike. Despite ongoing investments in street design and transportation planning, the City continues to experience unsafe driving behaviors, rising conflicts between road users, and preventable injuries and near-miss incidents across its transportation network. A consistent and underlying factor contributing to these conditions is the lack of sustained traffic enforcement and comprehensive traffic safety education.
Current enforcement efforts are limited in frequency, visibility, and scope, reducing their effectiveness as both a deterrent to dangerous behavior and a mechanism for reinforcing traffic laws. Speeding, failure to yield to pedestrians and bicyclists, distracted driving, and disregard for traffic control devices persist in key corridors and neighborhoods. Without consistent enforcement, these behaviors become normalized, undermining public confidence in traffic laws and weakening the overall safety culture of the city. 7/22/2026 8:22:26 AM Page 9 of 24
Compounding this issue is a gap in traffic education for all road users. Many residents and visitors lack clear, up-to-date understanding of traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and safe behaviors, particularly as San Rafael continues to evolve toward more multimodal streets. The absence of targeted, equitable education efforts limits the City’s ability to foster shared responsibility and mutual respect among pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
If unaddressed, the continued lack of coordinated traffic enforcement and education will hinder San Rafael’s ability to meet its safety goals, increase the risk of serious injury or fatal crashes, and disproportionately impact vulnerable road users. To create safer streets by 2027, San Rafael must confront this systemic enforcement and education gap and establish a consistent, visible, and community-centered approach to traffic safety.

FOR CITY CLERK ONLY
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Public Works
Prepared by: April Miller
Director, Public Works
Ryan Montes
Operations & Maintenance Manager
City Manager Approval: ______
TOPIC: FLEET REPLACEMENT FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PURCHASE NINE (9) VEHICLES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $590,000, REASSIGN TWO (2) UNDERUTILIZED VEHICLES, DECOMMISSION FOUR (4) VEHICLES FROM THE CITY FLEET, AND APPROVING AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION OF $60,000
FROM THE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUND
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to purchase nine (9) vehicles to replace aging, obsolete, and operationally inadequate vehicles for the City’s vehicle fleet in a cumulative amount not to exceed $590,000 and approving an additional appropriation of $60,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Fund (621).
BACKGROUND:
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026, Department of Public Works (DPW) staff established a 5-year fleet replacement plan that aligns with the City's updated Fleet Management Policy and the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Fleet Electrification Program. The central objective of this replacement plan is to systematically project and manage the capital required for vehicle lifecycles, recognizing that the internal vehicle replacement fund is currently underfunded.
The updated Fleet Management Policy emphasizes a rigorous verification process, shifting from department-driven procurement requests to Fleet Management-driven replacement recommendations.
This systematic review is vital to determining the explicit operational "needs" versus localized "wants" of City departments, ensuring City resources are deployed responsibly. Fleet Management utilizes four core policy pillars to determine all annual replacement recommendations:
1. Need and Function
2. Environmental Impact
3. Lifecycle Cost
4. Occupant Safety
To optimize inventory, actions may include purchasing replacement vehicles, internally reassigning underutilized units, deferring lifecycle timelines, or permanently eliminating obsolete equipment from service. Fleet Management maintains a rolling 5-year replacement schedule alongside a comprehensive deferred replacement list (units fully amortized but kept in active service). Fleet Management reviews Agenda Item No: 2.i
Meeting Date: August 17, 2026
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
both lists annually to determine which vehicle replacements, reassignments, or retirements to recommend for City Council approval.
During the baseline FY 2025-2026 cycle, the City replaced three (3) vehicles citywide at a cost of $374,686, including one Police Department vehicle and two DPW vehicles. No zero-emission vehicle transitions occurred during that cycle.
For the FY 2026-2027 cycle, Fleet Management’s data analysis recommends the replacement of nine (9) vehicles, the internal transfer of two (2) vehicles, and the permanent elimination of four (4) vehicles from the City's active ledger.

The Department of Public Works replacement recommendations include three (3) Chevrolet Silverado electric vehicles (EVs) and one (1) Ford E-Transit Van. These units comprise two (2) administrative pool vehicles and two (2) utility trucks utilized by the Streets and Facilities maintenance divisions. This specific asset group has been selected to satisfy Year 1 requirements of our active PG&E EV Fleet contract.
Under this agreement, the City committed to transitioning ten (10) public works assets to EVs within a strict 5-year timeline in exchange for PG&E constructing major electrical charging infrastructure at the vehicles’ primary location.
Police Department
The San Rafael Police Department (SRPD) replacement recommendations include three (3) hybrid passenger/patrol vehicles and two (2) patrol motorcycles:
1. Patrol SUV (Ford Police Interceptor Hybrid): One frontline patrol car that has reached mileage thresholds where major mechanical failures are common, escalating operating expenses and vehicle downtime. This patrol replacement bridges the division into a much larger, comprehensive replacement cycle projected to return to Council in the next 12 to 24 months.
2. Admin Sedan (Toyota Camry Hybrid) & Admin SUV (Toyota Highlander Hybrid): Two administrative and detective assets that have reached structural end-of-life thresholds and experience high cumulative downtime.
3. Patrol Motorcycles (BMW R1200RT-P): The police fleet currently consists of six (6) motorcycles that have a low average annual mileage, with most being 2015 BMW R1200RT-P models. The Police Department currently has four active officers who regularly use motorcycles and plan to expand the unit in the near future. To maintain operational readiness and meet utilization goals, staff recommend replacing two aging motorcycles.
Internal Transfer & Fleet Reduction Recommendations
To eliminate unnecessary capital spending, staff analyzed vehicle utilization citywide. Vehicles driven fewer than 3,000 miles annually are flagged as underutilized. The following reassignments and permanent decommissioning actions are recommended to right-size operations:
• Parking Services Reassignments: Parking Services requires two hybrid compact sedans for daily enforcement. Fleet Management identified two identical, underutilized hybrid sedans within the Public Works pool. These units will be transferred directly to Parking Services to serve as active assets #7 and #20. Because Parking Services operates as an Enterprise Fund, it will absorb the one-time mechanical equipment transfer costs to migrate existing License Plate Reader (LPR) hardware onto the incoming chassis.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
• Decommissioning and Liquidation (Asset Nos. 37, 19, 132, and 83): Upon successful transfer of the hybrid units to Parking Services, the vacated assets #37 and #19 will be permanently eliminated from the fleet, dissolving $70,000 in future replacement liabilities.
Additionally, Community Development SUV #132 (which has seen near-zero use over the past 36 months) and Public Works Van #83 (a legacy recreation loaner vehicle no longer required) will be permanently retired and sent to public auction. Combined, these asset eliminations permanently erase $155,000 in future replacement funding liabilities.
Vehicle Replacement Deferments
Currently, 55 fleet vehicles have had their replacements deferred based on vehicle utilization standards set in the Fleet Management Policy. While keeping these units in service preserves immediate capital, it represents an outstanding deferred replacement backlog of approximately $3,255,000 across all city departments. Staff assess deferred vehicle replacements annually and will recommend replacement when necessary.
Per San Rafael Municipal Code 2.55.100 (E), the City intends to optimize procurement timelines and capture competitive pricing by utilizing state and national cooperative purchasing programs (such as Sourcewell, State of California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS), or Placer County piggyback agreements), which are fully exempt from localized competitive bidding requirements.
City's Commitment to Zero-Emission Vehicles
The City maintains a firm commitment to transition its fleet to zero-emission vehicles over the next several years as part of the Electric Vehicle Acceleration Strategy Workplan adopted by Council in 2023.
Whenever possible, when a vehicle meets operational and functional needs, the City will purchase electric vehicles. In many cases, zero-emission options are not yet available to serve specialized emergencies or heavy-duty functionality. In those cases, procurement is delayed if possible until an EV option becomes viable.
In addition, when EVs are purchased, the City must maintain adequate electrical infrastructure and EV chargers, and PG&E must have grid infrastructure capable of handling the additional electrical load. By executing the Public Works EV purchases reported in this report, the City satisfies the Year 1 requirements of the PG&E EV Fleet contract, securing substantial utility-funded electrical infrastructure upgrades at primary municipal facilities, as well as $16,000 in vehicle rebates. The City is currently completing an electric vehicle charger project at the Public Works facility, which will provide 8 chargers for Citywide use, each capable of fast charging for emergency needs.
To further offset procurement costs, Fleet Management will actively apply for regional and state incentive opportunities, including local vehicle rebates through the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) and point-of-sale vouchers via California’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) for eligible medium- and heavy-duty battery-electric units.
ANALYSIS:
Table 1 summarizes the recommended vehicle actions and verified cost projections for the FY 2026- 2027 cycle. The costs below include vehicle acquisition, specialized utility outfitting, and a 5% structural contingency buffer.
The City will purchase the identified vehicles using the following cooperative purchasing contracts:
• Four (4) Public Works vehicles:
o Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract held by National Auto Fleet Group:
• Three (3) Police Department vehicles and two (2) Police Motorcycles SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4
o California Department of General Services statewide purchase contracts held by:
Folsom Lake Ford
Long Beach BMW Motorcycles
Freeway Toyota
Cooperative purchasing programs through the State or other organizations that are exempt from competitive bidding per San Rafael Municipal Code 2.55.100 (E).

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 5
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for these expenditures is partially supported by the approved FY 2026-27 Vehicle Replacement base budget (Fund 621) allocation of $530,000. To cover total estimated base acquisition costs ($561,000) plus a 5% structural contingency ($29,000) for unexpected price increases or specialized outfitting surcharges, staff requests an additional appropriation of $60,000 from the fund balance of the Vehicle Replacement Fund (621). Unused contingency funds will remain in the fund balance upon completion.
While the internal vehicle replacement fund has historically been underfunded, the permanent retirement and liquidation of underutilized assets (#37, #19, #83, #132) will successfully erase $155,000 in longterm fleet replacement liabilities, helping optimize future fund sustainability. Costs for electric vehicles will also be partially offset by $16,000 in PG&E rebates and $10,000 from the Transportation Authority of Marin.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider relating to this item:
1. Adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the nine (9) vehicle purchases, internal reassignments, and fleet reduction liquidations, and approve an additional appropriation of $60,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Fund balance.
2. Do not authorize the fleet plan and provide alternate direction to staff regarding public safety vehicle lifecycles and ZEV infrastructure compliance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to purchase nine (9) vehicles to replace aging and operationally inadequate vehicles for the City’s vehicle fleet in a cumulative amount not to exceed $590,000 and approving an additional appropriation of $60,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Fund (621).

City Manager Approval: ______
TOPIC: ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION NOTICE OF
COMPLETION
SUBJECT: ACCEPT COMPLETION OF THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION, PART OF CITY PROJECT NO. G44EVFLEET, AND AUTHORIZE THE
CITY CLERK TO FILE THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the completion of the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment installation and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.
BACKGROUND:
Vehicle emissions are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the City’s municipal greenhouse gas inventory. San Rafael’s Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) includes Measure LCT-M1, directing the City to purchase or lease zero-emission vehicles for the City fleet whenever possible. It targets a 50% reduction in fuel use by 2030. In addition, the City Council approved an Electric Vehicle Acceleration Strategy Workplan in 2023 that contains priority action items by 2025 to 1) develop a fleet replacement plan that includes activities to convert the City’s fleet to 100% zero-emissions vehicles, inclusive of charging infrastructure, and 2) identify local fire and police conversion of mission-critical and nonemergency fleet vehicles. Finally, the California Air Resources Board adopted the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation for local government vehicle fleets, which the City must comply with (California Code of Regulations Title 13, Division 3, Chapter 1, Article 3.2).
Staff has been working on transitioning the City fleet for the past three years. This includes securing Federal Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant funds, no-cost technical assistance from Marin Clean Energy (MCE) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and contracting with a third-party technical consulting team to plan the transition. Last year, the City was accepted into the Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) EV Fleet Electrification program, which commits PG&E to installing additional infrastructure to serve electric-vehicle loads at City facilities. The City Council approved a contract with PG&E to participate in the program on June 2, 2025, and determined this work to be categorically exempt SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
under CEQA Guideline 15301 (minor alteration of existing facilities), 15303(e) (appurtenant structure to garages and carports), and/or 15311 (placement of minor structures appurtenant to existing uses).
The PG&E program includes fully funding the utility side of the meter upgrades, financial assistance for the City side of the meter work, and financial incentives for City vehicle purchases. PG&E also provides technical assistance to identify and secure additional incentives for the chargers and vehicles, and has accelerated the timeline for PG&E’s work to build out the electrical supply needed to facilitate high-speed charging at the Corps Yard for City fleet vehicles. This will help the City comply with the Advanced Clean Fleet Regulation and avoid high costs for transformer and electrical capacity expansion. Finally, this upgraded service also includes a separate meter with a lower cost per kWh, which will provide the City with substantial annual savings by replacing fuel costs with lower electricity costs.
On March 16, 2026, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to procure electric vehicle charging equipment through a Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Agreement for the Public Works facility at 111 Morphew Street and authorized supplemental budget appropriations of $450,000 to fund the work. On April 20, 2026, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to waive formal bid requirements and negotiate and enter into an agreement with Mike Brown Electric Company for the installation of the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).
Mike Brown Electric Company completed their installation work by June 25, 2026. The equipment has been fully powered, initiated, tested, and approved by both the manufacturer and the City of San Rafael’s Building Division.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment contract is receiving funding through various sources, which consists of the following:
• Federal Energy Efficiency Community
Block Grant: $123,000
• Investment Tax Credit: Up to ~$385,000
• PG&E Rebates: $174,000
• Transportation Authority of Marin:
$20,000
• MCE: $20,000
The total appropriation for the contract with Mike Brown Electric Co. was $288,000 for electrical construction costs. The final electrical construction cost came in under budget, totaling $272,692, with $240,288 performed by Mike Brown Electric Company. The remaining $32,404 was contracted out separately to EVCharge4U because the equipment manufacturer, Kempower, requires special certification for direct connections to the equipment to maintain the warranty.
No additional appropriations are needed to complete this project, and any remaining project funds will be returned to the Capital Improvement Fund (401) balance.
In accordance with Project specifications, the City retained five percent of the full amount due on each progress payment to Mike Brown Electric Co., resulting in a total construction retention of $11,542. The final payment and release of the undisputed retention will be made 35 days after the recordation of the Notice of Completion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the completion of the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment installation and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.

TOPIC: FRANCISCO BOULEVARD EAST MID-BLOCK CROSSING ENHANCEMENT
PROJECT
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT WITH MIKE BROWN ELECTRIC CO. TO INCREASE NOT-TO-EXCEED CONTRACT AMOUNT BY $3,918, FOR A TOTAL NOT-TO-EXCEED CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $519,918; AND
ACCEPTING COMPLETION OF THE FRANCISCO BOULEVARD EAST MID-BLOCK CROSSING ENHANCEMENT PROJECT, CITY PROJECT NO. C441145110, AND
AUTHORIZE THE CITY CLERK TO FILE THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize an increase to Mike Brown Electric Co.'s not-to-exceed contract amount by $3,918, increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $516,000 to $519,918 to cover the additional time and materials required to complete the Francisco Boulevard East Mid-Block Crossing Enhancement Project ("Project"); accept completion of the Project; and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.
BACKGROUND:
The relocation of the Canal Alliance headquarters to the property on the west side of Grand Avenue, south of San Rafael Creek, was anticipated to increase pedestrian traffic between the Canal neighborhood and the new facility. To accommodate this increased demand, the Francisco Boulevard East Mid-Block Crossing Enhancement Project constructed a new mid-block pedestrian crossing on Grand Avenue between Second Street and Francisco Boulevard East.
The Project improvements included the installation of a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB), also known as a High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK), along with a pedestrian refuge island within the center median to improve pedestrian safety.
On December 2, 2024, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Mike Brown Electric Co. in the amount of $429,968 and approved a construction contingency of $86,032 for a total appropriation of $516,000. Construction began on September 15, 2025, and was completed on June 9, 2026.
ANALYSIS:
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
Pursuant to Civil Code Section 8182, the City is required to record a Notice of Completion upon its acceptance of the improvements. This acceptance initiates a period during which project subcontractors may file Stop Notices seeking payment from the City for the funds owed to the Contractor for the project work.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On December 2, 2024, City Council appropriated a total of $734,233 for the Project. An additional $30,000 was appropriated on June 2, 2025, as part of the FY 2025–2026 budget approval, bringing the total Project budget to $764,233.
The Francisco Blvd. E. Mid-Block Crossing Enhancement Project was funded through various sources, which consisted of the following:
• Canal Alliance,
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) via Canal Alliance, • City Gas Tax Fund (206),
• Transportation Development Act (TDA) grant, and
• Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA).
The total appropriation for the contract with Mike Brown Electric Co. was $516,000 for construction costs.
The final project construction cost totaled $519,918, resulting in an overrun of $3,918. The additional costs were associated with extra time and materials beyond the approved change orders. The additional costs will be paid through the increased not-to-exceed contract amount. No additional project appropriation is required, as sufficient funding is available within the existing project budget.
The total cost for the completion of this project is approximately $742,071, including project design, construction, and construction inspection. The remaining project budget of $22,162 shall be returned to the Gas Tax Fund (206) balance.
In accordance with Project specifications, the City retained five percent of the full amount due on each progress payment to Mike Brown Electric Co., resulting in a total construction retention of $25,995.90.

ref. Handbook 1344.1
1 HUD-4010 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Labor Standards Provisions Office of Davis-Bacon and Labor Standards A. APPLICABILITY
The Project or Program to which the construction work covered by this Contract pertains is being assisted by the United States of America, and the following Federal Labor Standards Provisions are included in this Contract pursuant to the provisions applicable to such Federal assistance.
1. Minimum wages and fringe benefits
i. All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of basic hourly wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. As provided in 29 CFR
5.5(d) and (e), the appropriate wage determinations are effective by operation of law even if they have not been attached to the contract. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B)) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(v) of these contract clauses; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics must be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification(s) of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer’s payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii)) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) must be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. ii. Frequently recurring classifications
A. In addition to wage and fringe benefit rates that have been determined to be prevailing under the procedures set forth in 29 CFR part 1, a wage determination may contain, pursuant to § 1.3(f), wage and fringe benefit rates for classifications of laborers and mechanics for which conformance requests are regularly submitted pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii), provided that:
1. The work performed by the classification is not performed by a classification in the wage determination for which a prevailing wage rate has been determined;
2. The classification is used in the area by the construction industry; and
3. The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable relationship to the prevailing wage rates contained in the wage determination.
B. The Administrator will establish wage rates for such classifications in accordance with 29 CFR
5.5(a)(1)(iii)(A)(3). Work performed in such a classification must be paid at no less than the wage and fringe benefit rate listed on the wage determination for such classification. iii. Conformance
A. The contracting officer must require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract be Exhibit A
Docusign Envelope ID: AC1EFF05-D612-8691-80AC-3081AB3E7F3D Docusign Envelope ID: 199F1990-3E3B-45F6-9F7E-59A6745CE7B2 Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
2 classified in conformance with the wage determination. Conformance of an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits is appropriate only when the following criteria have been met:
1. The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and
2. The classification is used in the area by the construction industry; and
3. The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
B. The conformance process may not be used to split, subdivide, or otherwise avoid application of classifications listed in the wage determination.
C. If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken will be sent by the contracting officer by email to [email protected]. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30–day period that additional time is necessary.
D. In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer will, by email to [email protected], refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30–day period that additional time is necessary.
E. The contracting officer must promptly notify the contractor of the action taken by the Wage and Hour Division under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(iii)(C) and (D). The contractor must furnish a written copy of such determination to each affected worker or it must be posted as a part of the wage determination. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1)(iii)(C) or (D) must be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
iv. Fringe benefits not expressed as an hourly rate
Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor may either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or may pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
v. Unfunded plans
If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, in accordance with the criteria set forth in 29 CFR 5.28, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met.
The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
vi. Interest In the event of a failure to pay all or part of the wages required by the contract, the contractor will be required to pay interest on any underpayment of wages.

ref. Handbook 1344.1
3 2. Withholding
i. Withholding requirements
The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development may, upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for the full amount of wages and monetary relief, including interest, required by the clauses set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(a) for violations of this contract, or to satisfy any such liabilities required by any other Federal contract, or federally assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards, that is held by the same prime contractor (as defined in 29 CFR 5.2). The necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards requirements and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the funds were withheld. In the event of a contractor’s failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice or helper working on the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute) all or part of the wages required by the contract, or upon the contractor’s failure to submit the required records as discussed in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(iv), HUD may on its own initiative and after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
ii. Priority to withheld funds
The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with 29 CFR
5.5(a)(2)(i) or (b)(3)(i), or both, over claims to those funds by:
A. A contractor’s surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
B. A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
C. A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor’s bankruptcy estate;
D. A contractor’s assignee(s);
E. A contractor’s successor(s); or
F. A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C. 3901-3907.
3. Records and certified payrolls
i. Basic record requirements
A. Length of record retention. All regular payrolls and other basic records must be maintained by the contractor and any subcontractor during the course of the work and preserved for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute) for a period of at least 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
B. Information required Such records must contain the name; Social Security number; last known address, telephone number, and email address of each such worker; each worker’s correct classification(s) of work actually performed; hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours actually worked in total and on each covered contract; deductions made; and actual wages paid.
C. Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(v) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any Docusign Envelope ID: 199F1990-3E3B-45F6-9F7E-59A6745CE7B2 Docusign Envelope ID: AC1EFF05-D612-8691-80AC-3081AB3E7F3D Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
4 costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor must maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
D. Additional records relating to apprenticeship Contractors with apprentices working under approved programs must maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs, the registration of the apprentices, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
ii. Certified payroll requirements
A. Frequency and method of submission The contractor or subcontractor must submit weekly, for each week in which any DBA- or Related Acts-covered work is performed, certified payrolls to HUD if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the certified payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records, for transmission to HUD. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of all certified payrolls by all subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may permit or require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an electronic system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic signature; the system allows the contractor, the contracting agency, and the Department of Labor to access the certified payrolls upon request for at least 3 years after the work on the prime contract has been completed; and the contracting agency or prime contractor permits other methods of submission in situations where the contractor is unable or limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system B. Information required The certified payrolls submitted must set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i)(B), except that full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses must not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the certified payrolls need only include an individually identifying number for each worker (e.g., the last four digits of the worker’s Social Security number). The required weekly certified payroll information may be submitted using Optional Form WH-347 or in any other format desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at https://www.dol.gov/ sites/dolgov/files/WHD/legacy/files/wh347.pdf or its successor website. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission by the subcontractor to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records).
C. Statement of Compliance Each certified payroll submitted must be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the contractor or subcontractor, or the contractor’s or subcontractor’s agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons working on the contract, and must certify the following:
1. That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information and basic records are being maintained under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(3)(i), and such information and records are correct and complete;
2. That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper and apprentice) working on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly Docusign Envelope ID: 199F1990-3E3B-45F6-9F7E-59A6745CE7B2 Docusign Envelope ID: AC1EFF05-D612-8691-80AC-3081AB3E7F3D Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
5 from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in 29 CFR part 3; and
3. That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification(s) of work actually performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
D. Use of Optional Form WH-347 The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 will satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(C).
E. Signature The signature by the contractor, subcontractor, or the contractor’s or subcontractor’s agent must be an original handwritten signature or a legally valid electronic signature.
F. Falsification The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729.
G. Length of certified payroll retention The contractor or subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
iii. Contracts, subcontracts, and related documents The contractor or subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related documents including, without limitation, bids, proposals, amendments, modifications, and extensions. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during the course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. iv Required disclosures and access
A. Required record disclosures and access to workers The contractor or subcontractor must make the records required under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i)–(iii), and any other documents that HUD or the Department of Labor deems necessary to determine compliance with the labor standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by 29 CFR 5.1, available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of HUD or the Department of Labor, and must permit such representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job.
B. Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access requirements If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, or refuses to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records or that employs such workers, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available, or to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. In addition, any contractor or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those records available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the records be produced will be precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative proceeding under 29 CFR part 6 any of the required records that were not provided or made available to WHD. WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the contractor or person for an extension of the time for submission of records. WHD will determine the reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other things, the location of the records and the volume of production.
C. Required information disclosures Contractors and subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number and last known address, telephone number, and email address of each covered worker, and must provide them upon request to HUD if the agency is a party to Docusign Envelope ID: 199F1990-3E3B-45F6-9F7E-59A6745CE7B2 Docusign Envelope ID: AC1EFF05-D612-8691-80AC-3081AB3E7F3D Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)
ref. Handbook 1344.1
6 the contract, or to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. If the Federal agency is not such a party to the contract, the contractor, subcontractor, or both, must, upon request, provide the full Social Security number and last known address, telephone number, and email address of each covered worker to the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records, for transmission to HUD, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance action.
4. Apprentices and equal employment opportunity
i. Apprentices
A. Rate of pay Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship (OA), or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA. A person who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice, will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform in the first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to use apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
B. Fringe benefits Apprentices must be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that determination.
C. Apprenticeship ratio The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)(D). Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in 29 CFR
5.5(a)(4)(i)(A), must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under this section must be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed.
D. Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than the locality in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyworker’s hourly rate) applicable within the locality in which the construction is being performed must be observed. If there is no applicable ratio or wage rate for the locality of the project, the ratio and wage rate specified in the contractor’s registered program must be observed. ii Equal employment opportunity The use of apprentices and journeyworkers under this part must be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
5 Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.

7 6 Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (11), along with the applicable wage determination(s) and such other clauses or contract modifications as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development may by appropriate instructions require, and a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses and wage determination(s) in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section.

7 Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
8 Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
9 Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.

i. By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 3144(b) or 29 CFR 5.12(a). ii. No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 3144(b) or 29 CFR 5.12(a). iii.

8 be inserted in addition to the clauses required by 29 CFR 5.5(a) or 4.6. As used in this paragraph, the terms “laborers and mechanics” include watchpersons and guards.
1. Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
2. Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1) the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages and interest from the date of the underpayment. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1), in the sum of $31 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1).
3. Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages
i. Withholding process The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development or the recipient of Federal assistance may, upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for any unpaid wages; monetary relief, including interest; and liquidated damages required by the clauses set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b) on this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act that is held by the same prime contractor (as defined in 29 CFR 5.2). The necessary funds may be withheld from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and is held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the funds were withheld.
ii Priority to withheld funds The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be withheld in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5(a)(2)(i) or (b)(3)(i), or both, over claims to those funds by:
A. A contractor’s surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
B. A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
C. A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor’s bankruptcy estate;
D. A contractor’s assignee(s);
E. A contractor’s successor(s); or
F. A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C. 3901-3907.
4. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1) through (5) and a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1) through (5). In the event of any violations of these clauses, the prime contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, Docusign Envelope ID: 199F1990-3E3B-45F6-9F7E-59A6745CE7B2 Docusign Envelope ID: AC1EFF05-D612-8691-80AC-3081AB3E7F3D Previous editions obsolete Form HUD-4010, (10/2023)

9 due to any workers of lower-tier subcontractors, and associated liquidated damages and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate.
5 Anti-retaliation It is unlawful for any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, or to cause any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, any worker or job applicant for:
i. Notifying any contractor of any conduct which the worker reasonably believes constitutes a violation of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) or its implementing regulations in 29 CFR part 5;
ii. Filing any complaint, initiating or causing to be initiated any proceeding, or otherwise asserting or seeking to assert on behalf of themselves or others any right or protection under CWHSSA or 29 CFR part 5;
iii. Cooperating in any investigation or other compliance action, or testifying in any proceeding under CWHSSA or 29 CFR part 5; or
iv. Informing any other person about their rights under CWHSSA or 29 CFR part 5.
C. CWHSSA required records clause In addition to the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(b), in any contract subject only to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and not to any of the other laws referenced by 29 CFR 5.1, the Agency Head must cause or require the contracting officer to insert a clause requiring that the contractor or subcontractor must maintain regular payrolls and other basic records during the course of the work and must preserve them for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchpersons, working on the contract. Such records must contain the name; last known address, telephone number, and email address; and social security number of each such worker; each worker’s correct classification(s) of work actually performed; hourly rates of wages paid; daily and weekly number of hours actually worked; deductions made and actual wages paid. Further, the Agency Head must cause or require the contracting officer to insert in any such contract a clause providing that the records to be maintained under this paragraph must be made available by the contractor or subcontractor for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the (write the name of agency) and the Department of Labor, and the contractor or subcontractor will permit such representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job.
D. Incorporation of contract clauses and wage determinations by reference Although agencies are required to insert the contract clauses set forth in this section, along with appropriate wage determinations, in full into covered contracts, and contractors and subcontractors are required to insert them in any lower-tier subcontracts, the incorporation by reference of the required contract clauses and appropriate wage determinations will be given the same force and effect as if they were inserted in full text.
E. Incorporation by operation of law The contract clauses set forth in this section (or their equivalent under the Federal Acquisition Regulation), along with the correct wage determinations, will be considered to be a part of every prime contract required by the applicable statutes referenced by 29 CFR 5.1 to include such clauses, and will be effective by operation of law, whether or not they are included or incorporated by reference into such contract, unless the Administrator grants a variance, tolerance, or exemption from the application of this paragraph. Where the clauses and applicable wage determinations are effective by operation of law under this paragraph, the prime contractor must be compensated for any resulting increase in wages in accordance with applicable law.

================================================================ Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within Docusign Envelope ID: 199F1990-3E3B-45F6-9F7E-59A6745CE7B2 Docusign Envelope ID: AC1EFF05-D612-8691-80AC-3081AB3E7F3D the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).
---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.
Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates
in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.
The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the
collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.
Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this
classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union
prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are Docusign Envelope ID: 199F1990-3E3B-45F6-9F7E-59A6745CE7B2 Docusign Envelope ID: AC1EFF05-D612-8691-80AC-3081AB3E7F3D based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. ?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).
State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.
The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.
-----------------------------------------------------------
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:
a) a survey underlying a wage determination
b) an existing published wage determination
c) an initial WHD letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
d) an initial conformance (additional classification
and rate) determination
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be directed to the WHD Branch of Wage Surveys. Requests can be submitted via email to [email protected] or by mail to:
Branch of Wage Surveys
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
Regarding any other wage determination matter such as
conformance decisions, requests for initial decisions should be directed to the WHD Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.
Requests can be submitted via email to [email protected] or by mail to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2) If an initial decision has been issued, then any interested party (those affected by the action) that disagrees with the decision can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7).
Docusign Envelope ID: 199F1990-3E3B-45F6-9F7E-59A6745CE7B2 Docusign Envelope ID: AC1EFF05-D612-8691-80AC-3081AB3E7F3D Requests for review and reconsideration can be submitted via email to [email protected] or by mail to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of San Rafael (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us.
You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
How to contact City of San Rafael:
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically, to request paper copies of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically as follows:
To contact us by email send messages to: [email protected] To advise City of San Rafael of your new email address

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of San Rafael (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us.
You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
How to contact City of San Rafael:
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically, to request paper copies of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically as follows:

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: City Manager
Prepared by: Angela Robinson Piñon, Assistant
City Manager
City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: RESPONSE TO THE GRAND JURY REPORT ON MCE (MARIN CLEAN ENERGY) SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL’S RESPONSE TO THE MARIN COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY REPORT TITLED “MCE, MARIN CLEAN ENERGY: A SERIES OF MISSTEPS HIGHLIGHT NEED FOR GOVERNANCE CHANGES”
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the City of San Rafael’s response to the Marin County Civil Grand Jury Report entitled “MCE, Marin Clean Energy: A Series of Missteps Highlight Need for Governance Changes.” BACKGROUND:
On June 16, 2026, the Marin County Civil Grand Jury released a report entitled “MCE, Marin Clean Energy: A Series of Missteps Highlight Need for Governance Changes.” The report examines the governance, oversight, and management practices of MCE (Marin Clean Energy), the Community Choice Aggregator (CCA) that provides electricity to most San Rafael households and businesses, as well as those of 37 other member cities, towns, and counties.
The report concludes that MCE’s 34-member Board of Directors has not consistently exercised an active governance role, that the Board ceded significant authority to MCE’s management — including approval authority over the hiring of General Counsel and over many energy procurement contracts — and that MCE management has, at times, been insufficiently transparent with the Board. The Grand Jury found that these governance gaps contributed to MCE entering into energy contracts in late 2024 that increased its annual energy costs by approximately $200 million (more than 25 percent) compared to the prior year, without adequate Board visibility or input in advance.
MCE is governed under a Joint Powers Agreement by its own 34-member Board of Directors, composed of one elected official appointed by each of the 38 member jurisdictions (including the City of San Rafael) plus a Marin County Supervisor. MCE’s Board, not the San Rafael City Council, exercises governing authority over MCE’s policies, budget, management, and energy procurement decisions.
The Grand Jury directed the majority of its 14 findings (F1–F14) and 13 recommendations (R1–R13) to the MCE Board of Directors itself, as the body with legal authority over MCE’s governance. The Grand Jury separately requested that the governing bodies of MCE’s Marin member jurisdictions — including SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
the San Rafael City Council — respond only to Findings F4 and F5, and Recommendations R5 and R6, which concern the expertise and attendance of each jurisdiction’s appointed MCE Board representative.
The City is required to respond to the Grand Jury Report. Penal Code Section 933(c) states in part:
“No later than 90 days after the Grand Jury submits a final report…the governing body of the public agency shall comment to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under the control of the governing body.” To comply with this statute, the City’s response to this Grand Jury report must be approved by resolution of the City Council and submitted to the Presiding Judge of the Marin County Superior Court and the Foreperson of the Grand Jury on or before September 16, 2026.

The Grand Jury Report addresses two related sets of governance concerns at MCE: (1) the adequacy of governance, oversight, and internal controls exercised by MCE’s Board of Directors and management, the great majority of which fall under the authority of the MCE Board itself and are not matters within the City Council’s legal authority to remedy; and (2) the expertise, attendance, and engagement of each member jurisdiction’s individually appointed representative to the MCE Board, which is a matter within the City Council’s authority because the City Council appoints San Rafael’s MCE Board representative and alternate.
The City Council does not exercise any governing authority over MCE’s internal policies, its Operating Rules and Regulations, its delegation of authority to its CEO, its hiring practices, its energy procurement decisions, or its Board’s size and composition. Those matters are squarely within the authority of the MCE Board of Directors, which the Grand Jury has separately directed to respond to Findings F1 through F14 and Recommendations R1 through R4 and R7 through R13. The Grand Jury has asked the governing bodies of MCE’s Marin member jurisdictions, including the San Rafael City Council, to respond to Findings F4 and F5 and Recommendations R5 and R6.
The proposed resolution and a draft of the City’s response to the Grand Jury are provided as Attachment 1 to this staff report. Please refer to that attachment for more details on the City’s response.
Approval of the proposed response is consistent with the City Council's Three-Year Strategic Plan, including Objective F.2.5, “Support and explore regional partnerships and intergovernmental collaborations to seek efficiencies in service delivery.” COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
No community outreach is required for the City's response to the Civil Grand Jury report. The City Council's consideration of the response will occur at a publicly noticed meeting in compliance with the Brown Act. Following Council action, the response will be transmitted to the Marin County Superior Court and Marin County Civil Grand Jury and will become a public record.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this required response to the Marin County Civil Grand Jury.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1. Adopt the resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the City's response to the Marin County Civil Grand Jury report.
2. Direct staff to revise the proposed response and return at a future meeting.

RECOMMENDATIONS
REPORT TITLE: “MCE, MARIN CLEAN ENERGY: A SERIES OF MISSTEPS HIGHLIGHT NEED FOR GOVERNANCE CHANGES”

City of San Rafael Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 2 of 3
RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY FINDINGS
F4. Many Board members have — quite understandably — limited expertise regarding a large and complex company such as MCE.
Response: Agree
The City agrees that MCE’s 34-member Board of Directors is composed of locally elected officials who, like San Rafael’s own appointed representative, generally are not full-time energy or utility finance professionals, and that the technical complexity of MCE’s energy procurement and contracting activities can present a genuine governance challenge.
At the same time, the City believes that the structure of the MCE Board serves an important public purpose. Under the MCE’s Joint Powers Agreement, member jurisdictions appoint sitting elected officials who bring local accountability, knowledge of their communities, and diverse perspectives to MCE’s governance. Effective oversight therefore benefits from both appropriate technical and professional support and meaningful representation of the diverse communities served by MCE.
The CIty of San Rafael supports continued efforts to ensure Board members have access to the information, training and professional expertise necessary to fulfill their responsibilities.
F5. All MCE Board members are local elected officials who face competing demands on their limited time and resources; as a result, meeting attendance has often been poor, and insufficient for optimally effective governance.
Response: Agree
The CIty recognizes the Grand Jury’s concern in this area, and that regular attendance and active participation are important responsibilities of Board service. The City of San Rafael expects its representative(s) to participate regularly in MCE Board meetings while, at the same time, fulfilling their responsibilities to the CIty Council, the residents they serve, and other public bodies. Despite these competing demands, the City considers consistent participation an important component of effective representations.
RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY RECOMMENDATIONS
R5. By December 31, 2026, all of MCE’s Marin jurisdictions (and preferably, all 38 jurisdictions covered by MCE) should implement a process by which its appointed Board member (or, in that person’s absence, the designated alternate member) commits to attending each regular Board meeting.
This recommendation will not be implemented at this time, but will be considered further.
The City Council considers regular attendance and active participation an important responsibility of its MCE representative(s) and will continue to communicate that expectation in making future appointments.
City of San Rafael Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “MCE, MARIN CLEAN ENERGY: A SERIES OF MISSTEPS HIGHLIGHT NEED FOR GOVERNANCE CHANGES” August 17, 2026
City of San Rafael Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 3 of 3 However, the City Council does not believe it would be appropriate (or practical) to require a binding commitment to attend every regular MCE Board meeting as a formal condition of appointment. Because the appointee is a sitting elected official whose attendance may, on occasion, be unavoidably affected by scheduling conflicts with City Council meetings, other public obligations, illness, or personal circumstances.
The City notes that because Recommendation R5 contemplates a uniform process applicable across all 38 MCE member jurisdictions, this matter is most appropriately and consistently addressed by the MCE Board of Directors itself — for example, in connection with the governance assessment that the MCE Board has commissioned — rather than through 38 separately devised local processes.
The City further notes that under Article III, Section 3 of the Marin Energy Authority Operating Rules and Regulations, a Director may be removed for cause if they have three consecutive unexcused absences from MCE meetings. The City Council will consider adopting a formal attendance expectation for its appointee if and when MCE amends Board-wide attendance norms or expectations applicable to all member jurisdictions.
R6. By December 31, 2026, all of MCE’s Marin jurisdictions (and preferably, all 38 jurisdictions covered by MCE) should reassess their appointments of chosen Board members to prioritize those with the most extensive financial and energy expertise.
This recommendation will be implemented.
The City Council will continue to consider relevant financial and energy expertise as factor in its appointment to the MCE Board, consistent with this recommendation.
The City Council’s existing process for appointing its representative and alternate to the MCE Board, like its process for all other outside-body appointments, considers each prospective appointee’s relevant background and subject-matter familiarity, including any financial, energysector, or utility experience, alongside other factors the Council weighs in making such appointments.
At the same time, MCE’s governance structure intentionally and appropriately places locally elected officials on its Board. Those officials bring democratic accountability and community knowledge to the decision-making process. Effective governance benefits from combining this representation with a strong professional staff, appropriate technical resources, Board education, and access to relevant financial and energy expertise.

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: City Manager
Prepared by: Angela Robinson Piñon, Assistant
City Manager
City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: RESPONSE TO THE GRAND JURY REPORT ON SPECIAL DISTRICTS SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL’S RESPONSE TO THE MARIN COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY REPORT ENTITLED "BETTER SERVICE AT LOWER COST — OPTIMIZING ESSENTIAL SERVICES FOR THE FUTURE OF MARIN"
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the City of San Rafael's response to the Marin County Civil Grand Jury Report entitled "Better Service at Lower Cost — Optimizing Essential Services for the Future of Marin." BACKGROUND:
On June 11, 2026, the Marin County Civil Grand Jury released a report entitled "Better Service at Lower Cost — Optimizing Essential Services for the Future of Marin." The report examines the structure, governance, and service delivery models of Marin County's special districts. It explores opportunities for collaboration, shared services, and consolidation among agencies that provide fire protection, emergency medical services, water, wastewater, sanitation, and other public services.
The report concludes that while Marin County's special districts generally provide average to aboveaverage levels of service, the current structure includes administrative duplication, varying service levels and fees, staffing challenges, and barriers to long-term strategic investment. The Grand Jury recommends increased collaboration among districts, expanded shared services, standardized performance metrics, greater transparency, and exploration of consolidation opportunities where appropriate.
The Grand Jury requested the San Rafael City Council to respond to Findings F1 through F7 and Recommendations R1 through R9.
The City is required to respond to the Grand Jury Report. Penal Code Section 933(c) states in part:
“No later than 90 days after the Grand Jury submits a final report…the governing body of the public agency shall comment to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under the control of the governing body.” SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
To comply with this statute, the City’s response to this Grand Jury report must be approved by resolution of the City Council and submitted to the Presiding Judge of the Marin County Superior Court and the Foreperson of the Grand Jury on or before September 11, 2026.
ANALYSIS:
The Marin County Civil Grand Jury report examines opportunities to improve service delivery, organizational resilience, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability through increased collaboration, shared services, functional consolidation, and, where appropriate, formal consolidation of special districts and other public service providers.
The City of San Rafael has a longstanding history of participating in regional partnerships and shared service arrangements designed to improve public services and maximize the efficient use of public resources. The City Council has consistently supported efforts that improve organizational effectiveness while maintaining high-quality service delivery for residents.
The City is currently engaged in two significant initiatives that directly align with many of the themes and recommendations identified in the Grand Jury report.
Marinwood Community Services District and San Rafael Fire Department On May 4, 2026, the City Council considered a framework for the future provision of fire protection and emergency medical services in partnership with Marinwood Community Services District. The framework includes a phased approach comprising amendments to existing shared service agreements, a transition to a future contract-for-services model, and an evaluation of a comprehensive regional service delivery structure serving northern San Rafael, Marinwood, County Service Area 13, and County Service Area
19. On June 15, 2026, the City Council approved the second amendment to the shared services agreement that formalized additional operational collaboration and reaffirmed both agencies' commitment to evaluating future regional service delivery opportunities.
These efforts are intended to improve operational sustainability, workforce resiliency, emergency response capabilities, and long-term service delivery. The initiative reflects the type of functional collaboration and mission-specific service integration discussed throughout the Grand Jury report.
San Rafael Sanitation District Transition
On May 18, 2026, the City Council approved a Separation Agreement between the City of San Rafael and the San Rafael Sanitation District, facilitating the transition of District operations and administrative support functions to the Central Marin Sanitation Agency.
The transition is intended to reduce administrative duplication, improve organizational efficiency, enhance workforce recruitment and retention opportunities, and allow each agency to focus on its core mission while maintaining continuity of service.
Together, these initiatives demonstrate the City's commitment to evaluating opportunities for organizational improvement, shared services, operational efficiencies, and regional collaboration.
Summary of the City’s Response to the Grand Jury’s Findings and Recommendations The proposed resolution and a draft of the City’s response to the Grand Jury are provided as Attachment 1 to this staff report. Please refer to that attachment for more details on the City’s response.
Through its efforts with Marinwood Community Services District and San Rafael Sanitation District, the City has already undertaken actions consistent with many of the recommendations identified in the Grand Jury report, particularly those related to collaboration, shared services, and evaluation of regional service SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
delivery models. Therefore, staff generally agrees with the report's findings regarding the benefits of collaboration, operational efficiencies, workforce sustainability, performance measurement, and longterm planning. Staff recommends that the City Council agree with Findings F1, F2, F3, F5, F6, and F7, and partially agree with Finding F4, recognizing that governance structures may present challenges to consolidation efforts, while noting that motivations and circumstances vary among agencies and elected officials.
Recommendations R1, R3, R4, and R6 are consistent with actions already undertaken by the City and with ongoing efforts to improve service delivery through collaboration and regional partnerships; however, they were directed towards either the County of Marin and/or to independent special districts that are separate from the City and over which the City Council does not exercise any legal authority. Therefore, these recommendations were also deemed “not applicable.” However, staff recommends that the City Council’s responses describe how the City’s efforts support and align with those recommendations.
Staff further recommends that the City Council identify Recommendations R2 and R5 as not applicable because they are directed to the Marin County Board of Supervisors. Staff recommends that Recommendations R7 through R9 be identified as not applicable because they concern governance practices, compensation structures, and policies applicable to independently governed special districts over which the City Council does not exercise authority.
Approval of the proposed response is consistent with the City Council's Three-Year Strategic Plan, including Objective F.2.5, “Support and explore regional partnerships and intergovernmental collaborations to seek efficiencies in service delivery.” COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
No community outreach is required for the City's response to the Civil Grand Jury report. The City Council's consideration of the response will occur at a publicly noticed meeting in compliance with the Brown Act. Following Council action, the response will be transmitted to the Marin County Superior Court and Marin County Civil Grand Jury and will become a public record.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this required response to the Marin County Civil Grand Jury.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1. Adopt the resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the City's response to the Marin County Civil Grand Jury report.

San Rafael City Council
Pursuant to California Penal Code Section 933.05, the City Council of the City of San Rafael responds to Findings F1 through F7 and Recommendations R1 through R9 to the extent they relate to matters within the authority of the City Council.
GRAND JURY FINDINGS
The City agrees with Findings F1, F2, F3, F5, F6, and F7. The City partially agrees with Finding F4.
GRAND JURY RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations R1, R3, R4, and R6 align with work the City is doing, but will not be implemented. They are deemed not applicable because they are directed to the County of Marin and/or independent special districts the City Council does not oversee and which operate outside of their legal authority.
Recommendations R2 and R5 will not be implemented because they are not applicable because they are directed to the Marin County Board of Supervisors, not the City Council. Recommendations R7–R9 will not be implemented because they are not applicable since they relate to governance and compensation practices of independent special districts outside the City Council’s authority.

City of San Rafael Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 2 of 5
RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY FINDINGS
F1. The current fragmented structure of special districts results in unnecessary duplication of administrative services and operational inefficiencies.
Response: Agree
The City agrees that opportunities exist to reduce administrative duplication and improve organizational efficiency through shared services, regional partnerships, and alternative governance structures that enhance service delivery and provide value to residents.
F2. Some districts perform competently but lack sufficient scale to support long-term strategic investment in infrastructure, technology, staffing, and resilience.
Response: Agree
The City agrees that organizational scale can affect an agency's ability to make long-term investments in infrastructure, technology, workforce development, succession planning, emergency preparedness, and organizational resilience.
F3. Smaller districts are disproportionately vulnerable to staffing disruptions and catastrophic events that could rapidly impair service delivery.
Response: Agree
The City agrees that smaller agencies may face challenges related to recruitment, retention, workforce sustainability, operational continuity, and resiliency during emergencies and other disruptive events.
F4. Although consolidation is a popular idea among many elected board members, current governance structures, absence of board member term limits, and fear of loss of political influence discourage boards and administrators from initiating consolidation even when they recognize its benefits.
Response: Partially Agree
The City agrees that governance structures, organizational considerations, and institutional factors may influence discussions regarding consolidation and shared services. However, each agency operates under unique legal, operational, fiscal, labor, and community circumstances.
Furthermore, the City has not performed any analysis to confirm the popularity of consolidation among Marin County elected board members.
F5. Service and pricing inequities currently exist across Marin and may increase if consolidation and functional collaboration do not accelerate.
Response: Agree
City of San Rafael Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “BETTER SERVICE AT LOWER COST — OPTIMIZING ESSENTIAL SERVICES FOR THE FUTURE OF MARIN” August 17, 2026
City of San Rafael Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 3 of 5 The City agrees that opportunities exist to improve consistency, transparency, and efficiency in the delivery of public services throughout Marin County.
F6. Performance metrics for essential, mission-specific services exist but they are not readily available and standardized, which prevents meaningful public comparison of district effectiveness and undermines accountability.
Response: Agree
The City agrees that transparent and meaningful performance measurement supports accountability, informed decision-making, and public understanding of service delivery outcomes.
F7. Without proactive reform, future consolidations are more likely to occur through crisis driven intervention, resulting in greater disruption and higher costs.
Response: Agree
The City agrees that proactive planning and evaluation of service delivery models are preferable to organizational changes driven by financial, operational, or emergency circumstances.
RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY RECOMMENDATIONS

This recommendation is not applicable to the City of San Rafael.
This recommendation is directed to the boards of special districts. The City Council does not exercise any authority over the agendas or meeting schedules of independently governed districts.

The City will continue to place informational reports and action items on City Council agendas as necessary to support these efforts.
R2. By October 1, 2026, the Board of Supervisors should direct the development of comprehensive, cost-efficient shared services (such as IT, legal, finance, HR/payroll, harmonized compensation/benefits package, insurance) for special districts to optimize expenses and secure a Marin-wide acceptable quality standard. First limited-service offerings are encouraged to be made available by January 1, 2027.

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
Prepared by: Rob F. Epstein, City Attorney City Manager Approval: ____N/A_______ TOPIC: CITY MANAGER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT - PAUL NAVAZIO SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPOINTING PAUL NAVAZIO AS CITY MANAGER, EFFECTIVE AUGUST 17, 2026, FOR AN INDEFINITE TERM AS REQUIRED BY CHARTER SECTION 8, AND APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE
CITY MANAGER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution appointing Paul Navazio as City Manager, effective August 17, 2026, for an indefinite term as required by Charter Section 8 and approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the City Manager Employment Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Paul Navazio has served the City of San Rafael as Finance Director since July 10, 2023, with responsibility for overseeing the City’s financial operations, budgeting, and long-term fiscal planning. On February 11, 2026, the City Council appointed Mr. Navazio to serve as Acting City Manager to provide leadership continuity during a transition period. On April 6, 2026, the City Council formally appointed Mr.
Navazio as Interim City Manager and approved an Interim City Manager Employment Agreement.
At the direction of the Mayor, this item is being placed on the agenda for the City Council’s consideration of the appointment of Mr. Navazio as permanent City Manager, together with the accompanying City Manager Employment Agreement, attached as Exhibit A to the Resolution in this report (the “Agreement”).
Mr. Navazio has demonstrated the ability to effectively manage City operations during his service as Acting and Interim City Manager, and his prior experience as Finance Director provides a strong foundation in municipal governance, organizational leadership, and fiscal management. Staff recommends that the Council formalize his appointment as permanent City Manager.
ANALYSIS:
Charter section 8 provides that the City Manager “shall be appointed by the council for an indefinite term.” The Agreement accordingly appoints Mr. Navazio for an indefinite term (Agreement, § 2.A), rather than for a fixed term of years. The Agreement remains an at-will arrangement: the City Council may remove SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
the City Manager at any time, with or without cause, and Section 9 of the Agreement sets forth the applicable notice, severance, and cause provisions.
Following is a summary of key terms of the proposed Agreement:
o Appointment: Indefinite, consistent with Charter section 8, subject to termination in accordance with Section 9 of the Agreement.
o Term: Through August 31, 2028, with automatic two-year renewals thereafter. o Base salary: $354,064.56 annually ($29,505.38 per month), retroactive to July 1, 2026.
Effective July 1, 2027, base salary will increase by the same cost-of-living adjustment, if any, granted to the Unrepresented Executive Management Group for fiscal year 2027–28 (Agreement, § 4.C); this increase is self-executing and will not exceed the percentage received by that group.
o Automobile allowance: $500 per month (unchanged from the prior City Manager’s agreement).
o Wellness benefit: $400 per month (unchanged).
o Health insurance: The City will pay the full cost of the City Manager’s family medical insurance premium (unchanged).

The Agreement also expressly addresses several Government Code provisions applicable to local agency executive employment contracts, including the abuse-of-office reimbursement provisions (Gov.
Code §§ 53243–53243.4), the maximum-cash-settlement limitations (Gov. Code §§ 53260–53264), the prohibition on automatic-renewal contracts paired with automatic compensation increases exceeding a cost-of-living adjustment (Gov. Code § 3511.2), the defense and indemnification provisions of the Government Claims Act (Gov. Code §§ 995–996.6, 825), and the retirement provisions of the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 and the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (Gov. Code §§ 31450 et seq., 7522 et seq.). Prior to taking final action on the Resolution, the City Council will orally report a summary of the recommendation for final action on the City Manager’s salary and fringe benefits, consistent with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (c)(3); this matter has been considered as an item on a regular meeting agenda and not at a special meeting, consistent with Government Code section 54956, subdivision (b).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Under the proposed agreement, the City Manager’s base annual salary would be increased from $343,752 to $354,064.56 to account for a 3.0% cost of living adjustment, retroactive to July 1, 2026, which is on par with what the Unrepresented Executive Management Group received as of July 1, 2026.
Funding to cover the cost of the first year of the proposed two-year agreement is provided for within the approved FY2026/27 budget.
