In most cases, encumbrance balances exist at year-end. These encumbrance balances are obligations of each fund and must be reported at the beginning of each fiscal year. In addition, a corresponding appropriations entry must be made in order to accommodate the 'carried-over' encumbrance amount. Most differences between budgeted annual revenues and expenses are due to these encumbrance carryovers.

To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Water Resources Department
Subject: Settlement Agreement for the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant and Supporting Validation Test and Raw Water Quality Study Agreements [Agreement]
Recommendation:
That Council:
A. Authorize the Water Resources Director and City Attorney to execute a Settlement Agreement with IDE Americas for the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant; B. Authorize the Water Resources Director to execute an agreement with Trussell Technologies for evaluating Plant performance during a Validation Test in a not-to-exceed amount of $250,000; and
C. Authorize the Water Resources Director to execute an agreement for completing a Source Water Quality Study in a not-to-exceed amount of $700,000.
Discussion
The Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant (Plant) is an integral part of the City of Santa Barbara’s (City’s) long-term water supply plan. In 2014, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to reactivate the Plant. Following the competitive selection process, IDE Americas (IDE) proposal scored the highest, and after several months of negotiations, a Design-Build-Operate (DBO) Contract was negotiated in good faith. In July 2015, the City Council unanimously approved a DBO Contract with IDE. The Plant began producing water in 2017 and has a contractual production capacity of 3,125 acre-feet per year.
The Plant has experienced operational challenges that have prevented it from consistently meeting its contractual water production, energy efficiency, and chemical use guarantees. IDE and the City disagree about the underlying causes of the Plant’s challenges. In 2022, the City and IDE entered into a Tolling Agreement to preserve all disputed claims for future resolution.
Agenda Item No. 11
Council Agenda Report
Settlement Agreement for the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant and Supporting Validation Test and Raw Water Quality Study Agreements [Agreement]
Rather than pursuing legal remedies, the City worked collaboratively with IDE to identify a longterm solution focused on improving Plant performance. As part of those discussions, the City amended portions of the DBO Contract to improve IDE's financial sustainability in exchange for IDE committing to make significant investments in the Plant to improve reliability, efficiency, and production.
An opportunity to complete these improvements arose after above-average rainfall in 2025/2026 restored local reservoir storage and temporarily reduced the City's need to operate the Plant in 2026. As a result, the City directed IDE to suspend desalination production from February through September 2026 to allow IDE to complete major capital improvements and operational modifications.
Instead of continuing to dispute past performance through legal proceedings, the City and IDE negotiated the proposed Settlement Agreement. The agreement establishes a performancebased framework that requires IDE to complete substantial improvements to the Plant and confirm the improvements work in exchange for relief of disputed liquidated damages. The agreement is intended to improve the long-term reliability of the Plant while protecting the City's contractual interests.
Settlement Agreement
During the 2026 curtailment period, IDE will complete a series of capital improvements and operational modifications identified as the Curtailment Improvement Projects. These projects are intended to ensure the Plant's ability to reliably produce its contractual annual water supply obligation of 3,125 acre-feet. while improving its ability to operate during changing seawater conditions and reducing operating costs through more flexible production during lower electricity rate periods.
IDE is responsible for designing, constructing, and funding the improvements identified in the Settlement Agreement, while the City will continue to pay the fixed operating costs required under the existing DBO Contract during the curtailment period.
The projects to be implemented during this period, referred to in the Settlement Agreement as Curtailment Improvement Projects, aim to enhance the Plant’s ability to treat water under varying source water (seawater) conditions to achieve the annual water delivery guarantee of 3,125 acre-feet per year. The projects also aim to allow IDE to operate the Plant in a flexible manner to optimize production based on the time of use energy rates, reliably producing more water during cheaper energy costs periods, and reducing production during expensive periods.
Council Agenda Report
Settlement Agreement for the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant and Supporting Validation Test and Raw Water Quality Study Agreements [Agreement]
Following completion of the improvements, the Plant will undergo a one-year Validation Test during calendar year 2027. The purpose of the Validation Test is to confirm that the improvements achieve their intended purpose and that the Plant can reliably meet its contractual performance requirements under normal operating conditions.
The Settlement Agreement establishes a two-step process for resolving the City's disputed liquidated damages claims. First, the City will credit eligible IDE expenditures for approved improvement projects against the outstanding liquidated damages. Second, if the Plant successfully completes the Validation Test and satisfies the agreed-upon performance requirements, the City will release any remaining liquidated damages that are accrued before execution of the Settlement Agreement. If the Plant does not meet the required performance standards, the City retains its contractual right to pursue any remaining unreleased liquidated damages and IDE retains its rights to defend against the City’s claims.
The agreement also requires the City and IDE to jointly fund a Raw Water Quality Study during the Validation Test. The study will improve understanding of local seawater conditions, including algae blooms and other water quality characteristics that affect desalination operations, and will help guide future plant operations and optimization.
Overall, the Settlement Agreement provides a structured, performance-based approach to resolving longstanding contractual disputes while ensuring IDE completes significant improvements before receiving any release of disputed claims. The agreement is intended to improve long-term plant reliability, protect the City's contractual interests through independent performance verification, and strengthen one of the City's most important local water supplies.
Validation Test
If the Settlement Agreement is approved, the City proposes to use Trussell Technologies as an independent, third-party consultant to oversee the Validation Test required under the Settlement Agreement. Trussell Technologies has extensive knowledge of the Plant from its previous role conducting a performance test for the Plant in 2023.
During the Validation Test, Trussell Technologies will monitor Plant performance using the performance criteria established in the Settlement Agreement, provide monthly progress reports to both parties, and prepare a final report documenting whether the Plant successfully achieved the required performance standards. The City's determination regarding the release Council Agenda Report
Settlement Agreement for the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant and Supporting Validation Test and Raw Water Quality Study Agreements [Agreement]
of any remaining liquidated damages will be based on the results of this independent evaluation.
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Water Resources Director to execute a contract with Trussell Technologies in the not-to-exceed amount of $250,000 to monitor and document the Validation Test Results.
Raw Water Quality Study
The Settlement Agreement also includes a Raw Water Quality Study to better understand how changing seawater conditions affect Plant performance. One of the most significant operational challenges at the Plant has been seasonal changes in raw seawater quality, particularly algae blooms that can reduce treatment efficiency and affect production.
The study intends to document and analyze the frequency, intensity, and characteristics of algae blooms and other important water quality parameters that influence desalination operations. The information collected will improve the City's understanding of local ocean conditions, support future operational decisions, and help identify opportunities to further improve the Plant's long-term reliability and efficiency.
If the recommendation is approved, City staff will issue a Request for Proposals to seek qualified consultants to complete the study. Staff requests authorization for these services in the not-to-exceed amount of $700,000
Budget/Financial Information
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Water Operating Fund Budget in Fiscal Year 2027 to fund the provisions in the Settlement Agreement, including the supporting contracts for the oversight of the Validation Test and Raw Water Quality Study.
Sustainability Impact
The Plant is a drought-proof water supply for the City. The proposed recommendations will help ensure that the Desal Plant remains a robust and viable facility for many years to come.

Subject: Proposed Lease Agreement with Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, Inc. [Agreement]
Recommendation:
That Council approve a five-year lease agreement with Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, Inc., for the approximately 156 square feet of ground floor office space, designated as 113 Harbor Way, Suite 105.
Discussion
Following the vacancy of the office space on January 1, 2026, the Waterfront Department issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) on February 17, 2026, advertising the available office space within the historic Waterfront Center Building. As a result of this process, Santa Barbara Maritime Museum was selected to lease the premises, which will be used as additional space for Dart Coffee who is a sub-lessee of the Maritime Museum. Dart Coffee operates its storefront under a sublease agreement with the Maritime Museum out of the space that was previously the Maritime Museum Gift Shop. The current storefront is small and Dart Coffee required additional space for storage and back-office needs.
This additional office space will serve Dart Coffee staff for operational tasks, storage, and management purposes, thereby supporting both museum functions and accommodating increased visitor numbers. Dart Coffee’s established reputation from its Funk Zone location has contributed to higher museum admissions, enhanced revenue, and greater activity along the waterfront, benefiting the museum and the surrounding area.
The basic lease terms of the proposed lease are as follows:
• Term: 5-year term
• Base Rent: $750 per month ($4.80 per square foot)
Agenda Item No. 12
Council Agenda Report

From: City Administrator’s Office
Subject: Amendment to the Reciprocal Easement Agreement for 16 and 20 West Canon Perdido Street [Agreement]
Recommendation:
That Council authorize the City Administrator to execute, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney, an Amendment to the Reciprocal Easement Agreement for Parcels 4 and 5 of Redevelopment Parcel Map 20,511 between the City of Santa Barbara and 1620 WCP Partners, LLC, to replace the existing use restrictions on the property at 16 and 20 West Canon Perdido Street to authorize use of the property in accordance with the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
Discussion
In connection with implementation of the redevelopment plan that resulted in the development of the Paseo Nuevo shopping center the City and the former Redevelopment Agency entered into agreements with owners of other affected parcels. One of those agreements is a Reciprocal Easement Agreement (REA) governing access, parking, and permitted uses of the private parcels that were included in the structure that includes City Parking Lot #2, which is located across Canon Perdido from Paseo Nuevo. The REA relating to the property, located at 16 and 20 West Canon Perdido Street, restricts use of the property to high-end retail use, essentially the same use restriction that applied to Paseo Nuevo. That restriction reflected the retail strategy of the original Paseo Nuevo development more than 35 years ago.
Following the statewide dissolution of redevelopment agencies, the City assumed the former Redevelopment Agency’s obligations under the REA and took ownership of Parcels 1 and 2 of Parcel Map 20,511. 1620 WCP Partners, LLC is the current owner of Parcels 4 and 5 and has assumed the owner’s obligations under the REA.
Agenda Item No. 13
Council Agenda Report
Amendment to the Reciprocal Easement Agreement for 16 and 20 West Canon Perdido Street [Agreement]
Reason for REA Amendment
The retail environment that shaped the original REA no longer exists. Council has already recognized this in approving the redevelopment of Paseo Nuevo, which will convert the former Macy’s and Nordstrom buildings to office and residential uses. The high-end retail restriction on 16 and 20 West Canon Perdido is a holdover from the original development that now prevents the property from adapting the same way the rest of the area is adapting.
The Owner has requested the flexibility to redevelop the site and is currently pursuing a small hotel development. Under the existing REA, that use is prohibited regardless of what the City’s zoning allows. The proposed Amendment removes the development restriction and instead ties the property to the same standard that applies citywide: uses must be consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and must comply with the terms of any development permit or land use approval issued by the City.
REA Amendment
The proposed Amendment makes four changes to the REA:
• Replaces the use restrictions. The high-end retail limitation is deleted. Parcels 4 and 5 must be developed, operated, and used solely for purposes authorized under the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, in strict compliance with any development permits or land use approvals.
• Allows required access improvements. The Owner may install and maintain markings, signs, striping, paving, truncated domes, and similar improvements needed to meet path-of-travel requirements determined by the Building Official or fire lane requirements determined by the Fire Marshal. The amendment would also allow limited encroachments into the paseo area, such as planters or patio wells, subject to the terms of a written agreement or encroachment permit from the City, including the Owner’s assumption of risk and liability relating to any permitted encroachments. • Addresses parking. If necessary for a hotel or similar use, the City will make overnight parking permits available to hotel occupants under rules established by the City, with fees set by the City’s standard fee schedule as adopted by Council resolution.
Council Agenda Report
Amendment to the Reciprocal Easement Agreement for 16 and 20 West Canon Perdido Street [Agreement]
The Amendment will facilitate economic development consistent with the City’s General Plan and zoning. It changes only what uses are allowed on the site under the REA. but does not authorize, approve, or entitle any specific project. Any future development of the property, including the hotel concept the Owner is pursuing, will require the City’s standard development review process, including all applicable permits, design review, and environmental review.
Council action on this Amendment does not commit the City to approving any project.
Budget/Financial Information
There is no direct fiscal impact from the Amendment. Any overnight parking permits issued for future hotel use will be charged at rates set by the City’s fee schedule. Any encroachments on City property will be required to obtain an encroachment permit and any other permits deemed necessary by the City, and encroachments would be installed and maintained at the Owner’s sole expense, with the Owner indemnifying the City.
A copy of the amendment to the Reciprocal Easement Agreement is available for public review.

Subject: Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for the Milpas Street at U.S.
Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project [Agreement] Recommendation:
That Council authorize the City Administrator to execute the Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding, Agreement 26,901, between the City of Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments, to extend the term end date to January 31, 2027, for Construction Phase closeout and the budget reallocation of $70,685 from the Construction Support Phase to the Construction Capital Phase for the Milpas Street at U.S.
Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project.
Discussion
Background and Project Description
The adopted 2017 Environmental Impact Report for the U.S. Highway 101 Widening Project (HOV Project), which is managed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), identified traffic operational impacts and required capacity improvements on Milpas Street between the U.S. Highway 101 southbound on- and off-ramps. Moreover, alterations to traffic patterns on Milpas Street between the U.S. Highway 101 underpass and Hutash Street are critical to the success and safe operation of the HOV Project.
The Milpas Street at U.S. Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project (Project) addressed the traffic operational impacts by:
• Widening Milpas Street at the northeast corner of the intersection of Milpas Street and Hutash Street;
Agenda Item No. 14
Council Agenda Report
Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments for the Milpas Street at U.S. Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project [Agreement]
• Modifying the lane layout and restriping of the Milpas Street and Hutash Street intersection to add a dedicated turn lane onto Hutash Street; this movement was previously shared with southbound left turns onto the freeway. This allows U.S.
Highway 101 on- and off-ramp traffic to move concurrently; • Traffic signal modifications at the Milpas Street and Hutash Street intersection; and • Extending the existing median south of the U.S. Highway 101 underpass to the intersection of Milpas Street and Cacique Street to prohibit left turns from southbound Milpas Street to eastbound Cacique Street. This helps prevent southbound off-ramp traffic from queueing back up to the US-101 southbound mainline. Eastbound Cacique Street has access from northbound Milpas Street via the hook ramp.
Current Status
As of June 2026, the Project’s construction is complete. The recommended Third Amendment to the Memoradum of Understanding (MOU) will extend the agreement term date from June 30, 2026, to January 31, 2027, in order to allow for the Project’s closeout phase. Additionally, $70,685 in cost savings in the Construction Support Phase will be reallocated to the Construction Capital Phase to pay for necessary traffic signal equipment.
Budget/Financial Information
The Santa Barbara County Association of Governments is the Project’s sponsor and has dedicated funding to construct the Project. The executed MOU and subsequent Amendments include funding for the design, right-of-way, and construction phases, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,675,979. The Third Amendment reallocates $70,685 in cost savings from the Construction Support Phase to the Construction Capital Phase. This reallocation utilizes available funds within the existing Project’s budget and does not increase the total Project cost.
There are sufficient expenditure appropriations in the Streets Grant Capital Fund to complete the Project.

Subject: First Amendment for Water Resources Legal Services with Bartkiewicz, Kronick & Shanahan [Agreement]
Recommendation:
That Council authorize the Water Resources Director and City Attorney to execute the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Bartkiewicz, Kronick & Shanahan, increasing the contract expenditure authority by $300,000, for a not to exceed amount of $550,000 for specialized as-needed legal services.
Discussion
The City of Santa Barbara's (City) Water Resources Department has historically relied upon a combination of in-house and outside legal services. In 2023, the City Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement with Bartkiewicz, Kronick & Shanahan (BKS) in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to provide specialized legal services on an as-needed basis to support inhouse legal counsel. Since that time, BKS has provided cost-effective, legal services to support Water Resource’s broad range of legal needs, and developed substantial institutional knowledge of the City's operations, agreements, rates, fees, and regulatory obligations. The firm's familiarity with the City's One Water approach and its experience representing other public water agencies throughout California has enabled it to provide efficient and effective legal support.
The expenditure authority authorized under the original Agreement has been fully utilized over the past three years. Staff anticipate that specialized outside legal support will continue to be necessary for ongoing contract administration, water rights matters, implementation of major capital projects, rate and fee setting, regulatory compliance, and other specialized legal issues.
Accordingly, staff recommend increasing the contract expenditure authority by $300,000 to provide sufficient funding for continued as-needed legal services through Fiscal Year 2029. The amendment also includes a modest increase in hourly rates consistent with the rates that BKS Agenda Item No. 15
Council Agenda Report

Subject: Fourth Amendment to Professional Services Agreement for the Evaluation of Proposed Development at Paseo Nuevo [Agreement]
Recommendation:
That Council authorize the City Administrator to execute a fourth amendment to increase the amount of Santa Barbara City Agreement No. 22300248 with Strategic Economics, Inc., by $21,600, for a total contract amount of $410,741, for consulting services related to the Paseo Nuevo Redevelopment Project, including preparation of briefing materials, a community benefits analysis, and final project meetings and contract closeout, as described in the revised scope of services attached to the Fourth Amendment.
Discussion
The City entered into an agreement with the consulting firm Strategic Economics, Inc., on June 6, 2023. Contracted services include evaluation of proposed development at Paseo Nuevo and assessing the economic viability of the development proposal. The original contract amount ($35,000) was exhausted by work conducted June 2023 through September 2023, which included a land residual economic model and transaction strategy advisement.
A first amendment, in the amount of $58,531, was exhausted by work conducted from October 2023 through February 2024, which included the development of a project agreement, residual land value analysis, and negotiations between the Paseo Nuevo lease holder and developer and the City.
A second amendment, in the amount of $170,040, was exhausted by work from February 2024 through August 2025, which included work on the negotiations between the Paseo Nuevo lease holder and the City to work towards a financially feasible project. Specifically, Strategic Economics, Inc. conducted market data analysis, updates to the residual land value financial model, financial feasibility and project advising, City Council briefings, and preparation for a public City Council presentation.
Agenda Item No. 16
Council Agenda Report
Fourth Amendment to Professional Services Agreement for the Evaluation of Proposed Development at Paseo Nuevo [Agreement]
A third amendment, in the amount of $125,570, was authorized by Council on August 5, 2025, and funded market data analysis, updates to the residual land value financial model, project agreement advising, and briefings through the completion of the Disposition and Development Agreements for the Paseo Nuevo redevelopment. The work required to finalize the Disposition and Development Agreements took longer than anticipated, and the third amendment funds were exhausted before the agreements were approved. A fourth amendment is therefore requested to compensate Strategic Economics, Inc. for work performed in May and June 2026 and to fund final meetings and contract closeout in July 2026.
The requested fourth amendment, in the amount of $21,600, covers work performed in May and June 2026 and remaining work through final meetings and contract closeout in July 2026.
The additional scope falls under Task 4, City Briefings, and includes preparation of briefing materials, a community benefits analysis of the reuse of the former Macy's building as an international headquarters building to be owned by Yardi Systems and the reuse of the former Nordstrom building as housing, attendance at briefings, and attendance at full City Council meetings regarding all aspects of the final redevelopment plan for Paseo Nuevo Mall. No additional scope is requested under Task 1 (Market Data Analysis), Task 2 (Residual Land Value Financial Model), or Task 3 (Project Agreement Advising).
The requested amount consists of $20,000 for labor and $1,600 for travel expenses. This is anticipated to be the final amendment to the agreement.

Staff is recommending that the fourth amendment to the Professional Services Agreement be funded through available Measure C district sales tax revenue that has already been collected, in line with City Council Resolution 23-161 that was adopted on December 12, 2023, supporting business district infrastructure projects, with a focus on the State Street Promenade.
Appropriating Measure C revenues may limit funding for other capital and facility projects as identified in the Capital Improvement Plan in future budget cycles.
A copy of the fourth amendment is available for public review. Please contact the City Administrator’s Office at [email protected] to request a copy.
