Recommendation: That Finance Committee recommend that Council:

A. Receive a report from staff on the status of revenues and expenditures in relation to budget for the twelve months ending June 30, 2026;
B. Accept the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Interim Financial Statements for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026;

Executive Summary
The FY2026 interim financial statements for the twelve months ending June 30, 2026, are presented to the Finance Committee. The report also includes staff revenue and expenditure projections for the General Fund and Enterprise Funds. Staff is projecting an operating deficit in the General Fund of $1.6 Million, requiring additional use of reserves to balance the budget.

In order to address this additional financial pressure, staff worked to develop a comprehensive set of revenue generating and expenditure reduction/control options for the Finance Committee to consider. More than 200 individual ideas were generated and evaluated to determine potential service delivery impacts and revenue generating and cost savings ranges, among others. The Finance Committee provided their recommendations on October 21, 2025, and the City Council provided their direction on December 2, 2025.

Fiscal Year 2026 Fourth-Quarter Review

Discussion
Each month, staff present interim financial statements (Attachment 1) showing the status of revenues and expenditures in relation to budget for City Funds. Each quarter, the interim financial statements are expanded to include a detailed narrative analysis of General Fund and Enterprise Funds (Attachment 2).

In addition to the Q4 budget analysis, staff propose recommended budget adjustments for City Council approval. These adjustments are the result of new information and/or unanticipated events that occurred since the adoption of the budget in June 2025. A listing and description of each proposed FY2026 adjustment is provided in Attachment 3.

Revenue and Expenditure Summary
The table below summarizes the General Fund revenue and expenditure budget including actuals through Q4. The total adopted revenue budget is $208.7 Million, and the total adopted expenditure budget is $210.3 Million, resulting in an operating deficit of approximately $1.6 Million. The revised budget reflects additional expenditures from encumbrances carried forward due to prior-year contractual commitments, as well as City Council–approved adjustments made since the start of the fiscal year. Amid ongoing staffing challenges, turnover, and recruitment efforts, the revised budget increased by $9.0 Million during the first three quarters. As the year progressed, some adjustments were made and the final forecast was significantly modified. City Administration’s FY2026 efforts continued to focus on completing the accounting and budget alignment associated with departmental restructuring. Substantial progress has been made; however, several cleanup items remain to fully align budgets, actuals, and contracts within the correct accounts across all special revenue funds. These adjustments required more staff bandwidth and were more complex than anticipated, and the remaining work will continue through year end and into FY2027.

Position vacancies persisted within Public Works, which ended the fiscal year with 13 open positions, only 4 of which were filled. This reduced staffing level lowered actual expenditures and helped year-end projections remain aligned with the originally adopted budget.

Several pending adjustments will still affect final results; however, the overall Q4 outcome remains materially accurate. Note that Q4 adjustments are not included in the tables below.

Additionally, spending under Measure C was significantly shortened to realign with expected year-end results and to support more conservative cash-flow management decisions made throughout the year.

Measure I tax revenue is projected to generate approximately $15.1 Million annually. As of the end of Q4, the City has received $12.8 Million in revenue, with additional receipts expected before the close of Period 12.

Tiers of Staff Recommendations to Address the Budget Deficit Over the last few months, staff developed a comprehensive set of revenue generating and expenditure reduction/control options for the Finance Committee to consider. More than 200 individual ideas were generated and evaluated to determine potential service delivery impacts and revenue generating and cost savings ranges, among others. Staff also categorized the ideas into the following tiers:
• Tier 1 – Can be implemented fairly quickly.
• Tier 2 – May take more time, but still worth exploring and implementing. • Tier 3 – Do not recommend at this time but to be considered in the future.

The Finance Committee provided direction to staff during the meeting on October 21, 2025, as follows:

Highest priorities (recommending to proceed)
• Cannabis excise tax revenue generators:
• Increase cannabis excise tax up to the 20.0% voter approved limit; and • Consider additional revenue generating sales opportunities • Initiate a poll to assess the viability of possible revenue tax measures for the November 2026 ballot, including tax rates increases for Real Property Transfer Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), Utility Users Tax, and a Parcel Tax; • Analyze recreational vehicle camping at the Waterfront parking lots; Lowest priorities (not recommending to proceed)
• Library closures or reduced hours of operation;
• Allow short-term rentals throughout the City which would generate additional TOT revenue; and
• Increase parking fees.

On March 17, 2026, the City Council approved of an increase from 6.0% to 8.0% for the cannabis excise tax rate. The rate took effect on July 1, 2026. On April 9, 2026, during the FY2027 budget work session, the City Council gave direction to pause work on exploring potential revenue measures for the upcoming November 2026 ballot.

coming into the Office. The current structure of the City Attorney’s Office includes a half-time Prosecutor position (City Attorney V) that has historically proved difficult to fill and is currently vacant. The department proposes replacing this position with a more junior position full-time.

This will allow the department to recruit someone relatively early in their career, potentially someone coming out of law school, who can develop expertise and have a long-term interest in this area. Additionally, converting this position would give the Office dedicated prosecution capacity at a very minimal additional cost, while also allowing the Office to handle the increased workload associated with STR and RSO matters without requiring significant additional City resources. The change of structure would be cost neutral in the current fiscal year, being covered by salary savings. Future years will potentially increase costs to the General Fund by $11,700 per year and will be addressed in future budget cycles.

Deletion of a 0.5 FTE Assistant City Attorney V in the City Attorney’s Office: It has been challenging to find a suitable incumbent for this part-time vacancy. As such, it is recommended to be deleted in concert with the establishment of a full-time Deputy City Attorney.

Realignment of the salary for Assistant City Attorney V: The City Attorney’s Office is currently recruiting for an Assistant City Attorney V (Senior Litigator). Despite active efforts including the utilization of an executive recruiting firm, recruitment efforts to date have failed to produce a sufficient pool of qualified candidates for consideration. Human Resources staff conducted a compensation study and found that the position is behind market. To bolster recruitment efforts, it is recommended that the salary for the Assistant City Attorney V be reallocated to match the regionally adjusted market median resulting in a new salary range of $246,347 to $299,435/annually. The reallocation would be cost neutral in the current fiscal year, being covered by salary savings. Future years will potentially increase costs to the General Fund by approximately $32,350 per year and will be addressed in future budget cycles.

FINANCE
Realignment of the salary for Risk Manager: The Finance Department has recently received the resignation of their Risk Manager who accepted a job with a local jurisdiction. Human Resources staff conducted a compensation study and found that the position is behind market.

To bolster recruitment efforts, it is recommended that the salary for the Risk Manager be reallocated to match the regionally adjusted market median resulting in a new salary range of $159,140 to $193,434/annually. The realignment would be cost neutral in the current fiscal year, being covered by salary savings. Future years will potentially increase costs to the General Fund by approximately $18,205 per year and will be addressed in future budget cycles.

Reclassification of a 1.0 FTE Risk Analyst I – Confidential (Job Class 6020) to the classification of Administrative Analyst I (Job Class 1406). This position provides administrative and analytical support to the Risk Management Division. The position administers Citywide insurance compliance processes, reviews contracts and insurance documents, analyzes data, prepares reports, coordinates projects, and works with City departments, vendors, and insurance providers. These responsibilities are consistent with the Administrative Analyst I classification.

PARKS & RECREATION
Establishment of a new classification titled Parks Planning Manager and establishing 1.0 FTE position: The proposed Parks Planning Manager position will provide oversight for a wide range of Parks and Recreation planning and policy initiatives that relate to operations, rules, procedures, land management, interagency collaboration on regional park, open space, and trails issues. The position will oversee the completion of the City’s 30-year Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and corresponding updates to Title 15, Title 28, and Title 30 revisions to address park use and management rules, park zoning and designations, open space management plans, etc. The position will be responsible for capital grant applications and management as well as relationships with community land management partners, private donors, state agencies, including state and federal regulations. The establishment of this position allows for the delegation of responsibilities currently performed by the Director. The proposed salary of $164,211 to $199,599/annually is based upon internal alignment considerations. The position will be funded by the deletion of two vacant positions classified as Neighborhood Outreach Services Supervisor I and Senior Recreation Supervisor. The deletion of these two positions presents cost savings to the City.

Deletion of 1.0 FTE Neighborhood Outreach Services Supervisor I and 1.0 FTE Senior Recreation Supervisor in Parks and Recreation: The proposed deletion of the subject vacant positions will be utilized to fund the establishment of the Parks Planning Manager position.

Budget/Financial Impact
There is no direct budgetary or financial impact by accepting the interim financial statement for Q4 FY2026. The Q4 budget adjustments, as proposed, will change revenue and expenditure appropriations in the General Fund and other funds as itemized in Attachment 3. These budget adjustments have no significant budget impacts. All proposed position changes are projected to be funded through existing appropriations in various departments and funds. No additional expenditure appropriation is required at this time to fund those position changes.

The adopted General Fund budget for FY2026 and recommended budget for FY2027 calls for the use of reserves of $4.3 Million and $3.4 Million, including the required reserve contribution, respectively, to balance the budget. The General Fund has previously and is projected to continue to have structural operating deficits as ongoing revenue growth is not adequate to fund the ongoing expenditure growth of existing operations.

Staff continue to work on the list of revenue generating and expenditure control options that the City Council has reviewed. Staff anticipate additional solutions to be implemented in the coming years. As operating deficits continue, additional reserves will be required to balance the budget. All General Fund contingency reserves were depleted in FY2026.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
Finance Committee Agenda Report
Agenda Date: September 15, 2026
To: Finance Committee
From: City Administrator’s Office
Subject: Authorize the City Administrator to Execute a Loan for the Development of Land by the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara Related to the Parma Court Project
Recommendation:

That Finance Committee recommend that Council:

A. Introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Approving a 30-year Loan Agreement with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara in the Amount of $1,000,000 for Development of the Real Property Located at 915 East Montecito Street to Be Used for Permanent Affordable Housing, to be Secured by a Deed of Trust and a 90-Year Affordability Control Covenant Imposed on Real Property and Authorizing the Deputy City Administrator to Execute Such Agreements, Subject to Approval as to Form by the City Attorney, as Necessary; and B. Approve the allocation of available expenditure appropriations in the Fiscal Year 2027 HOME Investment Partnerships Program Fund in the amount of $1,000,000 to fund the requested property development loan.

Discussion
The Housing Authority and the Santa Barbara Unified School District are collaboratively proposing a project at 915 East Montecito Street. The project will be developed on land owned by the District and is intended to serve as much needed housing for District employees. The project is focused specifically on family housing and is intended to cater to a variety of low-income families, including designated units for 30% of area median income (AMI), 50% of AMI, and 60% of AMI households.

The proposed development will be a new three- and four-story apartment building with a total of 30 units. The building will have a mix of 10 one-bedroom apartments, 12 two-bedroom Agenda Item No. 2

apartments, 8 three-bedroom apartments, and a community space for the residents. One of the two-bedroom units will be reserved for an onsite manager. It is anticipated that this development will also be project-based with Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers to provide stable rental assistance to all residents of the property.

City Loan
If approved, the proposed $1,000,000 City loan will have a 30-year term at a three percent simple interest rate. Payments on the loan will be due on a residual-receipts basis, meaning no payments will be due unless the net income of the project, after payment of necessary operating expenses and debt service, is sufficient to support such payments.

As a condition of the City’s financing, loans for multifamily rental housing projects require tenant income and rent restrictions imposed through an affordability covenant for 90 years; therefore, if this loan is approved, the City will record a covenant to restrict the project to Lower-Income households (60 percent AMI and below) for a total of 90 years, which will expire in 2116.

Staff recommends the proposed loan as the project advances the City’s goals as outlined in the City’s General Plan 2023–2031 Housing Element, specifically Goal 2 – Prioritize Affordable Housing, Policy 2.1, Prioritize Affordable Housing and Community Priority Projects, which states, “Prioritize production of deed-restricted affordable housing and nonresidential community priority projects with broad community benefits over all other land uses and housing types.” Additionally, this project qualifies as an eligible use of HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding.

Budget/Financial Information
Funding for the proposed $1,000,000 City loan will come from HOME Entitlement and Program Income funds reserved from prior years: $353,543.70 from Program Year (PY) 2024; $507,453.03 from PY 2025; and $139,003.27 from PY 2026, totaling $1,000,000. Leveraging the PY 2024 HOME Entitlement Program Income alongside other program-year funds enables a substantial impact for this important development project.

There are sufficient expenditure appropriations available in the Fiscal Year 2027 HOME Fund budget to support the recommended $1,000,000 loan to the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara.

RE: HOME FUNDING REQUEST FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PARMA COURT, 915 E. MONTECITO STREET, SANTA

BARBARA
Dear Carrie:

The Housing Authority requeststhat the City of Santa Barbara consider providing $1,000,000 or more in HOME funds residual receipts financing toward the development cost of Parma Court, which will be a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit development serving low-income families. The proposed development will be a new three-and four-story apartment building with a total of 30 units. The building will have a mix of 10 one-bedroom apartments, 12 two-bedroom apartments and 8 three-bedroom apartments, along with community space for the residents. One of the two-bedroom units will be reserved for an onsite manager. It is anticipated that this development will also be project-based with Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers to provide stable rental assistance to all residents of the property.

This project is the first collaboration between the Housing Authority and the Santa Barbara Unified School District, will be developed on land owned by the District and is intended to serve as much needed housing for District employees. It was the desire of District management that this first project be focused on family housing. The project is intended to cater to a variety of low income families, including designated units for 30% of area median income (AMI), 50% of AMI and 60% of AMI households. As such, the target households and rents should mesh well with the federal HOME funding program.

We are requesting this funding in order to help fill the gap in our projected funding structure. Ever-rising development costs make the development of any low income housing an ongoing challenge.

Development Timeline:

Following is an estimated timeline for this project:
• Today – The development is fully entitled through the City (i.e. discretionary approvals and project design approval) and has just received second round plan check comments. • February/March 2027 - We would apply for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credits with the State in their first funding round of the year.
• June/July 2027 - LIHTC Funding awards

• September 2027 - Close on Tax Credit Funding and other sources including the City funding • September 2027 – Begin Construction (20-month construction period) • May 2029 – Completion of Construction and Full Occupancy This property was the former Parma School. The prior school buildings still stand on the property (a consulting archeologist report has confirmed that the existing buildings are not architecturally historically significant) but the property has been vacant for over a decade. With no plans to utilize the site for educational purposes but an excellent infill urban location, this site quickly rose to the top of the review of potential development sites within the School portfolio. The District will retain ownership of the land and sign a long term ground lease to the tax credit partnership owner so that the existing buildings can be demolished and new housing can be built and operated.

The site is a 0.66 acre parcel located on Montecito Street, a short distance east of Milpas Street and across the street from a popular Trader Joe’s grocery store. This is a vibrant and well-located area of Santa Barbara’s “eastside”, with substantial retail and service amenities. It has excellent transportation access to the bus system along Milpas Street, with the 101 Freeway on-ramp located approximately half a mile to the southeast.

As we prepare for the tax credit application, we need to make sure we line up our additional financing sources.

This request is focused on available HOME funding. We anticipate that we will also apply at a future time for additional City money via the Local Housing Trust Fund or other sources. Table 1 below depicts our preliminary Sources and Uses for the project. As you can see, total project costs are estimated to be $34.7 million with total construction costs estimated to be $28.5 million. This is an educated working number for now but will be made more precise in the coming months through the construction bid process. We are able to balance these uses with the Housing Authority deferring a portion of its developer fee, an estimated $19.5 million in tax credit equity, the requested $1.0 million in HOME financing plus the remaining to-be-determined sources of additional soft money gap financing of $4.7 million. These numbers assume that we will be able to place Project-Based Vouchers on all of the low income units; the gap will be even larger without the vouchers.

This shows permanent sources. A construction loan will be arranged to finance the interim construction of the development.

We are extremely proud and excited to be able to deliver this first project with the School District and additional needed affordable housing to low-income households, which will also help to achieve the goals under the approved and certified Housing Element.

I am sure you will have further questions so please let us know what additional information you will need.

Thank you for your consideration of this funding request.

D. Monitoring waivers. The Water Resources Director of the City may waive monitoring for a user subject to a pretreatment standard to forego sampling for regulated pollutant if the user demonstrates through sampling and other technical methods that the pollutant is not present nor expected to be present in the discharge, or is only present at background levels from intake water and without any increase in the pollutant due to the activities of the user. A monitoring waiver also may be authorized where a pollutant is determined to be present solely due to sanitary wastewater discharged from the facility provided that the sanitary wastewater is not regulated by an applicable pretreatment 18 standard and otherwise includes no process wastewater. A monitoring waiver does not supersede certification processes and requirements established in categorical pretreatment standards, unless specifically stated in the categorical pretreatment standard. Monitoring waivers are subject to the following limitations:

1. The monitoring waiver is valid only for the duration of the effective period of the wastewater discharge permit, but in no case longer than five years. The user must submit a new request for the waiver before the waiver can be granted for each subsequent wastewater discharge permit.

2. When user's discharge includes process wastewater from multiple process the data provided in support of a request for waiver must include at least one sampling of the process wastewater that is representative of the combined wastewater from all processes.

3. The request for a waiver must be signed by the user or an authorized representative of the user.

4. The request for a waiver must be signed by the user or an authorized representative of the user.

5. Non-detectable sample results may be used to demonstrate that a pollutant is not present if the USEPA-approved method from 40 CFR Part 136 with the lowest minimum detection level for that pollutant was used in the analysis.

6. Waivers must be included in the user's wastewater discharge permit. The request, reasons, tests, and other evidence supporting the waiver must be maintained by the Water Resources Director for three years after expiration of the waiver.

7. The user subject to a waiver must certify on each report required by this section that there has been no increase in the pollutant in its wastestream due to activities of the user. The certification must be in the form required by Section 16.08.060 of this chapter.

8. If a pollutant for which a waiver has been granted is found to be present or is expected to be present because of changes that occur in the user's operations, the user must immediately notify the Water Resources Director and comply with monitoring requirements. The Water Resources Director may revoke, modify, or continue a waiver following receipt of the written notification.
(iii) Subsection B of Section 16.08.060:

B. Annual certification for non-significant categorical industrial users. A facility determined by the Water Resources Director to be a non-significant categorical industrial 19 user must annually submit the following certification statement signed by the user or the user's authorized representative. This certification must accompany an alternative report required by the Water Resources Director:
"Based on my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the categorical Pretreatment Standards under 40 CFR _______ , I certify, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that during the period from ______ to ______ [month, days, year]:
(1) The facility described as _______[facility name] met the definition of a Non-Significant Categorical Industrial User as described in Section 16.02.040 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code;
(2) The facility complied with all applicable Pretreatment Standards and requirements during this reporting period; and
(3) The facility never discharged more than 100 gallons of total categorical wastewater on any given day during this reporting period.

This compliance certification is based on the information stated in this report." (iv) Section 16.08.100:

A. Required notice of discharge. In case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a noncustomary batch discharge, a slug discharge or slug load, that might cause potential problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the Water Resources Director of the incident. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration, and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user.

B. Report on discharge. Within five days following such discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the Water Resources Director, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability that might be incurred as the result of damage to the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant this title.

C. Notification protocol. A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees who to call in the event of a discharge described in subsection A of this section.

5. A statement of applicable civil and criminal penalties for violation of pretreatment standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance schedule. Such schedule may not extend the time for compliance beyond that required by applicable Federal, State, or local law.

6. Requirements to control slug discharge, if determined by the Water Resources Director to be necessary.

7. Compliance with the Wastewater Discharge Permit does not relieve the user of responsibility for compliance with all applicable Federal and State pretreatment standards, including those which become effective during the term of the Wastewater Discharge Permit.

8. Wastewater Discharge Permits may include any of the following:
a. Limits on rate and time of discharge and/or requirements for flow regulations and equalization;
b. Requirements for the installation of pretreatment technology, pollution control, or construction of appropriate containment devices designed to reduce, eliminate, or prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW; c. Requirements for the development and implementation of spill control plans or other special conditions, including BMPs necessary to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or non-routine discharges;
25 d. Development and implementation of waste minimization plans to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW; e. Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities and equipment, including flow measurement devices; f. Statements of applicable administrative, civil, and criminal penalties for violation of pretreatment standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance schedule. Such schedule may not extend the time for compliance beyond that requirement by applicable Federal, State, or local law; and g. Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Water
Resources Director to ensure compliance with this title, and State and Federal laws, rules, and regulations.

G. Duration of permits. Permits shall be issued for a specified time period, not to exceed five consecutive years from the effective date of the permit. If the user wants to continue discharge after the expiration of the Wastewater Discharge Permit, a Wastewater Discharge Permit application must be submitted a minimum of 45 days prior to the expiration date of the Wastewater Discharge Permit. If the user submits a completed Wastewater Discharge Permit application and, through no fault of the user, a new Wastewater Discharge Permit is not issued prior to the expiration of the existing Wastewater Discharge Permit, the existing Wastewater Discharge Permit will remain in effect until the City reissues or denies, as the case may be, a new Wastewater Discharge Permit. All Wastewater Discharge Permits issued to a user are void upon issuance of a new Wastewater Discharge Permit to that user.

H. Permit fees. Wastewater Discharge Permit fees shall be set by a resolution of the City Council and shall reflect all costs associated with administering the permit.

I. Permit modifications. The terms and conditions of the Wastewater Discharge Permit are subject to modification and change by the Water Resources Director prior to the expiration of the permit.

A Wastewater Discharge Permit may be modified for any of the following reasons:

1. To incorporate any new or revised Federal, State, or local pretreatment standards or requirements.
26 2. To address significant alterations or additions to the user's operations, processes, or wastewater volume or character since the time of permit issuance.

3. A change in the POTW that requires either a temporary or permanent reduction or elimination of an authorized discharge.

4. Information indicating that the permitted user poses a threat to the City's POTW, personnel, or receiving waters.

5. Violation of any terms or conditions of the permit.

6. Misrepresentation or failure to fully disclose all relevant facts in the permit application or in any required reporting.

7. Revision of, or a grant of variance from, any categorical pretreatment standard.

8. To correct typographical or other errors in the permit.

J. No permit transfer. Wastewater Discharge Permits are issued to a specific user for a specific operation. A Wastewater Discharge Permit shall not be reassigned, transferred or sold to a new or different owner, user, or premises, or to a new or changed operation at or on any permitted or previously permitted premises. Wastewater Discharge Permits shall be void upon cessation of operations or transfer to a different user.

K. Permit revocation. Any user who violates any of the following conditions of the Wastewater Discharge Permit or of this title, or applicable State and Federal regulations, is subject to having its permit revoked:

(vi) Section 16.08.130:

16.08.130 Monitoring Facilities and Sampling Procedures.

A. Installation of monitoring facilities. The Water Resources Director shall require the user to construct, at its own expense, monitoring facilities adequate to allow inspection and sampling of the sewer or internal drainage systems at, upon, or in the user's premises. The Water Resources Director may also require the construction of flow measurement facilities and sampling or metering equipment, and may specify which facilities and equipment shall be provided, installed, and operated at the user's expense. The monitoring facility should normally be situated on the user's premises, but the Water Resources Director may, when such a location would be impractical or would cause undue hardship on the user, allow the facility to be constructed in the public street or sidewalk area and located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles; provided, however, that the user shall be required to comply with all applicable encroachment and other land use requirements.

B. Access to monitoring facilities. If the monitoring facility is inside or on the user's premises, User shall allow ready access for City personnel. Any change to the accessibility of the user's premises, such as a new lock or combination, must be provided to the Water Resources Director within 24 hours following the change.

C. Obstruction to access. Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the user at the request of the Water Resources Director and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be paid by the user. All costs of removing temporary or permanent obstructions shall be paid by the user.

D. Construction of monitoring facilities. Whether constructed on public or private property, the sampling and monitoring facilities shall be provided in accordance with the City's requirements and all applicable construction standards and specifications.

Construction shall be completed within 90 days following written notification by the City unless a time extension is otherwise granted by the City. 28 E. Sampling procedures.

1. Except as provided in subsections E.2 and 3 of this section, the user must collect wastewater samples using 24-hour flow-proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Water Resources Director. Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Water Resources Director, the samples must be representative of the discharge. Using protocols (including appropriate preservation) specified in 40 CFR Part 136 and appropriate EPA guidance, multiple grab samples collected during a 24-hour period may be composited prior to the analysis as follows: for cyanide, total phenols, and sulfides, the samples may be composited in the laboratory or in the field; for volatile organics and oil and grease, the samples may be composited in the laboratory. Composite samples for other parameters unaffected by the compositing procedures as documented in approved EPA methodologies may be authorized by the City, as appropriate. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous limits.

2. Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, total phenols, sulfides, and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection techniques.

Actual sample type requirements shall be included in the Wastewater Discharge Permit.

3. For sampling required in support of the reports required in Sections

16.08.010 and 16.08.030 of this chapter, a minimum of four grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organic compounds, for facilities for which historical sampling data do not exist; for facilities for which historical sampling data are available, the Water Resources Director may authorize fewer grab samples.

4. For reports required by Section 16.08.040 of this title, the user is required to collect the number of grab samples necessary to assess and assure compliance with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements. (vii) Section 16.08.160:

16.08.160 Pretreatment.

Users shall meet limitations established herein before discharging to any community sewer.

Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater shall be provided and maintained and continuously operated at the user's expense. Prior to construction of any facility subject to regulation under the provisions of this title, detailed plans showing pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Water Resources Director for review and approval , and shall be approved by the City before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the user of responsibility for 29 modifying the facility as necessary to produce a wastewater that meets the provisions of this title. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or operation thereof shall be reported to and approved by the Water Resources Director prior to implementation. (viii) Section 16.08.180:

16.08.180 Confidential Information.

Information and data regarding a user obtained from reports, surveys, Wastewater Discharge Permit applications, Wastewater Discharge Permits, monitoring programs, and from the Water Resources Director's inspection and sampling activities shall be made available to the public without restriction unless the user specifically requests in writing, and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Water Resources Director, that the release of such information would divulge information, processes, or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable State law. Any such request must be made at the time of submission of the information or data. When sufficiently demonstrated by the user furnishing a report that such information should be held confidential, the portions of a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes shall not be made available for inspection by the public, but shall be made available immediately upon request to governmental agencies for uses related to the NPDES program or pretreatment program and in enforcement proceedings involving the person furnishing the report.

Notwithstanding the above, wastewater constituents and characteristics and other effluent data as defined in 40 CFR Part 2.302 shall not be recognized as confidential information and shall be made available to the public without restriction. (ix) Section 16.08.200:

16.08.200 Special Agreements.

Special agreements and arrangements between the City and any person may be established when, in the opinion of the Water Resources Director, unusual or extraordinary circumstances compel special terms and conditions. However, in no instance shall special agreements relieve a person from compliance with Categorical Pretreatment Limits or the National Pretreatment Regulations found in 40 CFR Part 403.

SECTION 6.

That Title 16, Chapter 16.10, Section 16.10.010 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:

16.12.040 Cease and Desist Orders.

When the Water Resources Director finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this title, a Wastewater Discharge Permit, an order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standards or requirement, or that the user's past violations are likely to reoccur, the City may issue an order to the user directing it to cease and desist all violations and directing the user to immediately comply with all requirements of this title and applicable local, State and Federal law. Nothing in this section limits the authority of the City to take emergency action, or any other enforcement action, without issuing a Cease and Desist Order.
(v) Section 16.12.050:

16.12.050 Submission of Time Schedule.

A. When the Water Resources Director finds that a discharge of wastewater has been taking place in violation of prohibitions or limitations prescribed in this title, wastewater source control requirements, effluent limitations or pretreatment standards, or the provisions of a Wastewater Discharge Permit, the City may require the user to submit for approval, with such modifications as it deems necessary, a detailed time schedule of specific actions which the user shall take in order to prevent or correct a violation of any of these requirements.

B. If the Water Resources Director determines that a discharge has occurred or is occurring, and that the discharge violates any applicable regulation or Wastewater Discharge Permit, the Water Resources Director may require the person who caused or permitted the discharge to submit to the City a detailed time schedule of specific actions 32 which the person shall take in order to prevent or correct any violation of any applicable regulation or Wastewater Discharge Permit.
(vi) Section 16.12.060 Appeals.

A. Request for reconsideration. Any user, permit applicant, permit holder, or person affected by any decision, action or determination, including the assessment of fines and civil penalties, Cease and Desist Orders, revocation of a permit, and other administrative remedies, made by the Public Work Water Resources Director, interpreting or implementing the provisions of this title or in any permit issued herein, may file with the Water Resources Director a written request for reconsideration within 15 calendar days of such decision, action, or determination, setting forth in detail the facts supporting the user's or person's request for reconsideration.

B. Water Resources Director decision remains in effect pending appeal. The decision, action or determination of the Water Resources Director shall remain in effect during such period of reconsideration and during the period of any appeal or judicial review under the provisions of this code.

C. Appeal to City Council. A decision, action or determination of the Water Resources Director, after reconsideration is granted or denied, may be appealed to the City Council under the provisions of Chapter 1.30 of this code, except that, as to decisions to assess administrative penalties in accordance with Chapter 16.12 herein, the time limit for judicial review that is to be found in California Code of Regulations Section 54740.6, as may be amended from time to time, shall control to the extent allowed by law. (vii) Subsection C of Section 16.12.070:

C. Bypass.

1. A user may allow a bypass to occur which does not cause pretreatment standards or requirements to be violated, but only if it also is essential for maintenance to assure efficient operation. A bypass meeting this limitation is not subject to the provisions of paragraphs 2 or 3 below.

2. Bypass Notifications.
a. If a user knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice to the Water Resources Director at least 10 days before the date of the bypass, if possible.
33 b. A user shall submit oral notice to the Water Resources Director of an unanticipated bypass that exceeds applicable pretreatment standards within 24 hours from the time it becomes aware of the bypass. A written submission shall also be provided within five calendar days of the time that the user becomes aware of the bypass. The written submission shall contain: a description of the bypass and its cause; the duration of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and, if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the bypass. The Water Resources Director may waive the written report on a case-by-case basis if the oral report has been received within 24 hours.

3. Prohibited Bypass.
a. Bypass is prohibited and the Water Resources Director may take an enforcement action against a user for a bypass, unless all of the following are met:
i. Bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage, which means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to be inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production;
ii. There was no feasible alternative to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventative maintenance; and
iii. The user submitted notices as required by paragraph 2 of this subsection.
b. The Water Resources Director may approve an anticipated bypass after considering its adverse effects if the Water Resources Director determines that the bypass will meet the three conditions listed in paragraphs (a)(i) through (iii) above.

SECTION 6.

That Title 16, Chapter 16.14 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code is amended to designate the Water Resources Director in place of the Public Works Director in various Sections or Subsections as follows:

The Water Resources Director may also seek such other action as appropriate for legal and/or equitable relief, including a requirement for the user to conduct environmental remediation. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against a user. (iii) Section 16.14.050:

16.14.050 Administrative Civil Penalties.

Any provision of this title may be enforced by the Water Resources Director acting through use of administrative procedures and imposing administrative civil penalties for violations, as follows:

A. The Water Resources Director may determine violations of this title by administrative hearing and, based upon the results of that hearing, order administrative civil penalty(ies) to be assessed against the party responsible for the violation in accord with the provisions of this title and California Code of Regulations Section 54740.5, as may be amended from time to time.

36 8. The City may, at its option, elect to petition the Superior Court to confirm any order establishing civil penalties and enter judgment in conformity therewith in accordance with the provisions of law.

F. Except as provided in this section, remedies under this section are in addition to, and do not supersede or limit the use of, any and all other remedies, civil or criminal, available under this title and under the statutes and regulations of the State of California and the United States of America. No penalties shall be recoverable under this section for any violation for which civil liability is recovered under Section 16.14.060 or California Code of Regulations Section 54740.

16.14.090 Emergency Suspension.

The Water Resources Director may immediately suspend a user's discharge after informal notice to the user, whenever such suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge which reasonably appears to present or cause an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons. The Water Resources Director may also immediately suspend a user's discharge, after notice and opportunity to respond, that threatens to interfere with the operation of the community sewer or POTW, or which presents, or may present, an endangerment to the environment. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as requiring a hearing prior to any emergency suspension under this title.

A. Notification of suspension. Any user notified of a suspension of its discharge shall immediately stop or eliminate its discharge. In the event of a user's failure to immediately voluntarily comply with the suspension order, the Water Resources Director may take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection or turning off water supply, to prevent or minimize damage to the community sewer or POTW, its receiving stream, danger to any individuals, or to prevent continued violation of this title or Wastewater Discharge Permit. The Water Resources Director may allow the user to recommence its discharge when the user has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Water Resources Director that the violation has passed, unless termination proceedings in accordance with Section 16.14.100 of this chapter are initiated against the user.
37 B. User responsibility. A user responsible, in whole or in part, for any discharge presenting imminent danger shall submit a detailed written statement describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence, to the Water Resources Director prior to the date of any termination hearing under Section

Chapter 31.30 of Title 31 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code is amended by adding Section 31.30.060 which read as follows:

31.30.060 Historic Landmark Commission Review.

A. A permanent installation consistent with the State Street Master Plan that materially affects the visual character, historic streetscape, or pedestrian use of the State Street Paseo shall be referred to the Historic Landmarks Commission pursuant to this Section before final approval. A proposal to promulgate or amend regulations relating to outdoor business facilities under this Section 31.30.020 will be referred to the Historic Landmarks Commission for a report and recommendation before final action. The Historic Landmarks Commission shall provide their reports and recommendations within 60 days following the date of referral. The City Administrator, or City Council for actions requiring City Council approval, may proceed to take final action if a report and recommendation is not received within 60 days after referral of the matter. Any action to amend the State Street Master Plan or to make a physical improvement that is not consistent with the Master Plan will be referred to the Historic Landmark Commission for a report and recommendation as required by the City Charter or Municipal Code. However, matters relating to street operation or use, travel modes, lane configuration, vehicle access hours, loading, transit routing, and circulation are not subject to review under this Section.

B. Permanent streetscape improvements subject to design review under this Section are fixed physical elements, such as paving materials and patterns, bollards, planters, seating, lighting fixtures, tree wells, railings, signage, and similar built features. Review will address design matters, such as materials, finishes, proportions, color, detailing, and compatibility with the district's architectural character.
4 Section 9.

Section 31.30.060 of Chapter 31.30 of Title 31 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code is repealed.

Section 10.

This Ordinance is adopted as a municipal affair for the benefit, health, safety, and welfare of the people of Santa Barbara pursuant to the City's power under Vehicle Code Section 21101 and City Charter Sections 400, 401, and 505.

Section 11.

Sections 3 and 4 of Ordinance No. 6125 are repealed.

Section 12.

If any Section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Chapter or any part hereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Chapter or any part hereof. The City Council declares that it would have passed each Section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more Sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional.

Section 13.

The City Council finds that, on the basis of the whole record and by exercising its independent judgment, this Ordinance is not subject to environmental review pursuant to the State Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act Section 15061 (b)(3) (the “common sense exemption”) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the State Street Master Plan does not approve any development project or other physical change to the environment. Rather, it is a planning document that establishes policies for the long-term management of existing facilities and improvements. Individual projects contemplated by the Master Plan will undergo separate environmental review as appropriate. The existing provisions of Title 31 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code, as adopted by Ordinance No. 6125, were determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (existing facilities), 15303 (construction of small structures), and 15304(e) (minor, temporary uses of land). These same exemptions apply to the actions authorized by the amendments to Title 31 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code under this ordinance. Nothing in this Ordinance approves final design, construction, or implementation of any particular permanent physical improvement or other project that 5 may result in a physical change to the environment. The City will comply with the requirements of CEQA and Chapter 22.100 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code before approval or implementation of any non-exempt individual project.

As a condition of the City’s financing, loans for multifamily rental housing projects require tenant income and rent restrictions imposed through an affordability covenant for 90 years, therefore, if this loan is approved, the City will record a covenant to restrict the project to Lower-Income households (60 percent AMI and below) for a total of 90 years, which will expire in 2116.

Staff presented this item to the Finance Committee on September 15, 2026, and asked the Committee to forward the recommendations to Council for approval.

Council Agenda Report
Agenda Date: September 15, 2026
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Airport Department
Subject: Contract for Phase 5: Poly- and Per-Fluoroalkyl Substance Investigation Efforts with GSI Environmental, Inc. at the Santa Barbara Airport [Resolution; Agreement]
Recommendation:

That Council:

Discussion
All commercial service airports in California, including Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), were issued an order by the State Water Resources Control Board requiring investigation of potential Poly-and Per-Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contamination associated with historical activities. At SBA, potential PFAS impacts are partially associated with the historical, federal requirement to use aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) for aircraft rescue and firefighting activities.

In 2021, Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with GSI Environmental, Inc. (GSI) to conduct PFAS site investigation and testing required by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). GSI subsequently completed additional investigation, groundwater monitoring, sampling, reporting, and coordination activities through amendments to that agreement. GSI has extensive experience investigating PFAS at SBA and is Agenda Item No. 6
Council Agenda Report
Contract for Phase 5: Poly- and Per-Fluoroalkyl Substance Investigation Efforts with GSI Environmental, Inc. at the Santa Barbara Airport [Resolution; Agreement]

Page 2 ends

familiar with the Airport property, historical investigation areas, and existing groundwater monitoring network.

Current Status
Continued investigation is required by the RWQCB to refine the Airport's conceptual hydrogeologic model and evaluate the potential for off-site migration of PFAS in groundwater.

Based on discussions with the RWQCB, the overall Phase 5 investigation includes a network of twelve groundwater monitoring wells intended to address remaining hydrogeologic data gaps and improve the understanding of vertical and lateral groundwater flow and potential PFAS transport from known source areas.

The overall Phase 5 investigation has been divided into work planned for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 through 2029 to align implementation with available annual funding. The proposed agreement before Council covers only the FY 2027 portion of Phase 5. Phase 5 activities anticipated for FY 2028 and FY29 will require separate authorization.

The FY27 scope includes project and regulatory coordination, permitting, and utility clearance, sonic drilling and installation of twelve groundwater monitoring wells, management of investigation-derived waste, and the initial round of groundwater monitoring, sampling, laboratory analysis, and well surveying. GSI will also prepare a Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation Report and a First Quarter Groundwater Monitoring Technical Memorandum documenting the results and interpretation of groundwater conditions.

Based on GSI's experience with the Airport's existing PFAS investigation and familiarity with the site and regulatory requirements, staff recommend Council authorize the Airport Director to execute a new Professional Services Agreement with GSI in a not-to-exceed amount of $530,295 for the FY 2027 Phase 5 scope of work. Services will be performed on a time-and-materials basis with a completion date of June 30, 2027.

Budget/Financial Information
The proposed $530,295 PSA with GSI will be partially funded by existing appropriations in the Airport Operating Fund and additional funding provided by unappropriated reserves in the Airport Operating Fund.

There will be sufficient appropriated funds in the Airport Operating Fund to support the proposed agreement following the Council’s approval of the recommendation in this report.

Council Agenda Report
Contract for Phase 5: Poly- and Per-Fluoroalkyl Substance Investigation Efforts with GSI Environmental, Inc. at the Santa Barbara Airport [Resolution; Agreement]

Page 3 ends

AB 339 Compliance: Staff has reviewed Government Code Section 3504.1 and determined that the noticing provisions do not apply to this contract.

Sustainability Impact
The proposed PFAS investigation supports the City’s environmental sustainability goals by improving the understanding of groundwater conditions and the potential movement of PFAS from known source areas at SBA. The work will provide data needed to support continued regulatory compliance, evaluate potential impacts to groundwater resources, and inform future investigation or remediation actions, if warranted.

Environmental Review
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 22.100.070.C.6.b. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15306), as the scope of work consists of environmental investigation, groundwater monitoring, sampling, and data collection activities associated with compliance with RWQCB requirements.

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.
