BACKGROUND

For the City Council’s consideration, this report presents the final Engineer’s Reports for the Special Districts identified below, and directs Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to transmit all necessary assessment data to the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller for inclusion on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Property Tax Rolls.

1. Landscape and Lighting District (LLD)

3. Golden Valley Ranch Open Space Maintenance District (GVROSMD)

4. Tourism Marketing District (TMD)

The City of Santa Clarita (City), under the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (1972 Act), and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIII D enacted by Proposition 218 (Constitution), annually levies and collects special assessments for the Santa Clarita Landscape and Lighting District (District).

Collectively, the District incorporates Street Light Maintenance Zones A and B and Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) Zones 1, 2, 3, 3A, 4, 5, 5A, 6, 7, 7A, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, T1, T1B, T2, T2A, T3, T3B, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T17, T20, T23, T23-1, T23-2, T23A, T23B, T29, T31-1, T31-1A, T31-2, T33, T44, T46, T47, T48, T51, T52, T62, T65, T65A, T65B, T67, T68, T69, T71, T76, T77, and 2008-1.

The attached resolutions relate to the approval of the TMD Annual Report and the Engineer’s Reports for the City’s Special Districts prepared by Willdan for approval by the City Council.

These Special Districts include the LLD, the DBAA, the GVROSMD, as well as the Santa Clarita TMD. The proposed actions are authorized by state law as outlined in the Constitution, and are required to levy assessment on properties receiving special benefits.

Descriptions of the City’s Special Districts are provided below.

Landscape Maintenance District (LMD)

The City has 63 financially independent LMD zones, primarily administered through contracts, which encompass over 2,000 acres of landscape areas including landscaped slopes and parkways, side-panels, numerous monument signs, and more than 29 miles of paseos. The City also maintains areawide amenities located throughout Santa Clarita, including 47 linear miles of landscaped medians, park facilities, and approximately 45,000 street trees located within the public right-of-way.

Each of the 63 LMD zones, comprising over 63,000 residential and non-residential parcels, includes landscape and ornamental improvements that provide special benefits to properties throughout Santa Clarita. In total, 88 percent of all parcels throughout the City are located within one or more LMD zones and fund these landscape amenities through special assessments appearing on their consolidated annual property tax bill.

The operating budget of a typical LMD encompasses expenditures that include contractual landscape maintenance, water and electrical utilities, plant replacements, administration, scheduled and unanticipated repairs, and monitoring services. On average, contractual landscape maintenance services represent 36 percent of the total annual operational cost.

In zones where parcel owners have authorized assessment rate escalators, the maximum annual 1 Packet Pg. 13

Page 3 ends

assessment rate adjusts automatically every year by an amount equal to the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) for December. Independent of these escalators, the City Council maintains the discretion to levy assessment rates up to, or less than, the maximum assessment rate, with all levies ultimately approved as part of a noticed public hearing.

For FY 2026-27, the CPI increase as of December 2025 is 3.01 percent. The CPI escalators allow the City to maintain and provide a consistent level of landscape service to each LMD zone, as maintenance costs increase from year to year. The CPI escalators also allow the City to be responsive to requests identified by the community for new projects, and maintain adequate funds to support future capital reserve needs.

The City takes a conservative fiscal approach to the management of its LMD zones, having implemented many cost-saving measures and aggressively rebidding landscape contracts to ensure operational costs remain competitive. For FY 2026-27, staff is recommending the City Council levy less than the maximum allowable rate for 38 of 63, or 60 percent, of the City's LMD zones. A complete listing of recommended levy amounts for all LMD zones is attached to this report.

In instances where individual zones do not meet their financial operational and reserve goals, staff is recommending levying the maximum assessment rate. As an annual practice, staff has included an LMD rate history, which identifies each LMD zone and provides assessment levy information for each of the last five fiscal years.

Streetlight Maintenance District

The SMD is responsible for operations and maintenance of the City’s streetlights. In 2017, the City Council approved a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Southern California Edison (Edison) to acquire the City’s streetlight system. As of April 2026, the City has acquired and accepted for maintenance 18,038 streetlights with energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures.

Consistent with the City Council’s original commitment to the community, in FY 2020-21 the City began passing along net operational savings realized by purchasing the streetlight system to property owners in the form of reduced assessments.

All parcels receiving special benefit from the streetlight system financially contribute to the SMD. The composition of the SMD encompasses parcels that are assessed at either the Zone A or Zone B rate.

Parcels contributing to Zone A are part of the original district formed by Los Angeles County prior to the City’s incorporation, and pay an annual fixed assessment rate of $12.38.

Parcels annexed into the SMD following transfer from Los Angeles County to Santa Clarita in 1997 contribute to Zone B, and pay an annual assessment rate that can be adjusted each year by the change in the CPI. The current maximum assessment rate for FY 2025-26 is $105.43 per equivalent benefit unit (EBU).

The assessment rate for parcels located in Zone A will remain at a rate of $12.38. The assessment methodology for parcels located in Zone A does not include a CPI escalator 1 Packet Pg. 14

Page 4 ends

provision. As a result, properties in Zone A receive subsidized streetlight services, as state law does not allow the City to increase this assessment rate without first securing property owner approval.

While the maximum FY 2026-27 streetlight assessment rate for parcels located in Zone B is set to adjust by the annual change in CPI to $108.60, staff recommends holding the rate at $66.00 per EBU, which is $42.60 less than the maximum allowable assessment. This marks the eighth consecutive year in which the City has levied an assessment for parcels located in Zone B that is less than the maximum rate allowable by law, and the sixth straight year the rate has been held at $66.00.

Despite incremental increases imposed by Edison beginning in March 2020 to the energy charge component of their monthly service cost, staff’s ability to recommend setting the coming year’s rate nearly 40 percent less than the maximum assessment is a direct result of operational savings from the City Council’s decision to purchase Santa Clarita’s Streetlight System.

These operational savings will also expedite paydown of revenue bonds issued to finance the acquisition of the streetlight system and conversion to LED fixtures. The City’s current annual debt service is $858,544, with all bonds originally scheduled for retirement in FY 2046-47.

However, to support the City’s goal of retiring all bonds by September 2028, and thereby reducing the total interest cost associated with bond financing, the City paid down $4,015,000 in 2025. Additional redemptions are anticipated in 2027 and 2028. These actions are expected to save property owners approximately $6.2 million in interest costs.

Drainage Benefit Assessment Areas

The City is responsible for administering 18 DBAAs. Each DBAA benefits properties by preventing groundwater from rising and channeling surface or sub-surface water to drainage areas. This operation includes the use and management of multiple pump stations, hydro-augers, monitoring and observation wells, terrace drains, and swale drains. For FY 2026-27, staff recommends levying the maximum rate for 14 of the 18 DBAAs, inclusive of the 3.01 percent change in CPI.

Golden Valley Ranch Open Space Maintenance District

As a condition of project approval, the City Council required the Golden Valley Ranch development to create an open space maintenance district. The GVROSMD is comprised of 920 acres of natural and undeveloped land and administered by the City through contracts for park ranger services. This assessment also supports trail maintenance and open space management within the boundaries of the GVROSMD.

For FY 2026-27, staff recommends the City Council levy the maximum allowable rate of $228.29 for single-family residential units and $90.66 for single-family condominium units, inclusive of the 3.01 percent change in CPI.

Tourism Marketing District

The City Council established the TMD as part of the 21-Point Business Plan for Progress. Local hotels participating in the TMD pay two percent of total room rent charged and received from hotel guests who do not make the hotel their principal place of residence. The TMD generates funds to market the City as a tourism destination and attract high-quality, high-economic impact events to Santa Clarita.

The TMD is authorized by the Parking and Business Area Law of 1989 (Section 36500 et seq. of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California). This state code permits the City to levy assessments on businesses within a Business Improvement Area and to use such proceeds for the benefit of the businesses within said area.

Vista Canyon Wastewater Standby District

In November 2017, the City Council approved an Engineer’s Report creating and annexing parcels into the Vista Canyon Wastewater Standby District. A standby assessment and sewer rate were established in accordance with the applicable state law including Article XIII D of the State Constitution and Health and Safety Code, Section 5470, to support operations and capital replacements costs associated with the future Vista Canyon Recycled Water Factory.

The Vista Canyon Project required, and was financially responsible for, the construction of the Vista Canyon Recycled Water Factory as a condition of approval. Properties subject to the standby assessment and subsequent sewer rate are limited only to parcels within and directly adjacent to the Vista Canyon Ranch Project area that directly benefit from the Vista Canyon Recycled Water Factory.

At the November 28, 2017, public hearing, the City Council ordered and commenced standby assessment levies upon vacant parcels associated with the Vista Canyon Project. Levying of the standby assessment commenced in FY 2018-19 and will remain in effect until individual parcels within the District are developed and serviced by the Vista Canyon Recycled Water Factory.

Consistent with the approved Wastewater Engineer’s Report Anticipated Standby Charges schedule, the recommended FY 2026-27 Standby Rate is $547.54. Upon the subsequent approval of occupancy for individual parcels served by the Vista Canyon Recycled Water Factory, collection of the approved sewer rate will take the place of the standby assessment rate.

Vista Canyon Community Facilities District (CFD)

In 2016, the City formed a community facilities district designated for the approved Vista Canyon development located at the end of Lost Canyon Road near Sand Canyon. Vista Canyon CFD boundaries cover only the apartment and commercial use parcels. Ordinance No. 16-06 authorized the levy of the special taxes within the CFD pursuant to a Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA). In February 2020, the Vista Canyon CFD issued its first series of bonds (Bonds) secured by special taxes within the Vista Canyon CFD to fund: 1) a public parking facility, the Cooper Street Parking Structure, a City-owned public parking garage with 84 dedicated spaces for the adjacent apartment complex and 529 public parking spaces, and 2) a 1 Packet Pg. 16

portion of the Transit Center. In October 2020, following final review by the City’s Public Works department, the City purchased the Cooper Street Parking Structure from the master developer for $15,000,000 using the proceeds of the Bonds. Commencing in FY 2019-20, property within the Vista Canyon CFD began paying special taxes to fund debt service on the Bonds. The annual report for the CFD is included as part of this item for the City Council's acceptance and filing as required by Government Code Section 50075.3.

TOURISM MARKETING BENEFIT ZONE

Proposed System of Assessment (Methodology)

The proposed system of assessments is designed to generate revenue from hotels in the City to provide a method of funding public programs and activities that will promote the City and hotels as a tourist destination. The City's hotels comprise the Tourism Marketing Benefit Zone (Benefit Zone) and are the only business proposed to be assessed. An annual assessment is to be levied against hotels based on the benefits they derive from the program of activities. Businesses located outside the Benefit Zone (i.e., all non-hotel businesses) would not be assessed, as they derive only, at most, an indirect benefit from the program of activities.

Any modification to the Benefit Zone or program of activities for which the assessments are proposed to be levied would be subject to notification of all businesses within the Parking and Business Improvement Area (Area) and a public hearing before the City Council. At such public hearing, the City Council shall hear all protests and receive evidence, including written protests, for and against such modification.

Each business in the Benefit Zone shall pay a charge of two percent of total room rents charged and received from transient hotel guests who do not make the hotel their principal place of residence.

Once the system of charges is established, it cannot be changed without written notice to all businesses in the Area and a public hearing held by the City Council. At such public hearing, the City Council shall hear all protests and receive evidence, including written protests, for and against such changes.

Charges will be collected by the City of Santa Clarita, with the funds being remitted to a special fund of the City for expenditure in accordance with its adopted annual budget as presented by the Advisory Committee appointed by the City Council.

SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ANNUAL LEVY FOR OPEN SPACE

PRESERVATION DISTRICT
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
PRESENTER: Andrew Adams

RECOMMENDED ACTION

BACKGROUND

Property owners in the City of Santa Clarita (City) overwhelmingly approved the creation of the Open Space Preservation District (OSPD) in July 2007 to facilitate the purchase and preservation of undeveloped land in and around the City, within the boundaries of the OSPD.

The City partners with a number of public entities to meet the goals of the OSPD, including Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Riverside Land Conservancy, The Trust for Public Land, County of Los Angeles, and Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority. Through these partnerships, the City is able to utilize and leverage OSPD funds for the purchase and maintenance of properties with grant funds, land bank mitigation funds, or other special funds.

During the creation of and in approving the OSPD, property owners authorized a $1.00 increase in the maximum assessment rate each subsequent fiscal year to maximize the ability to purchase and preserve undeveloped land in and within proximity to the City to create a surrounding green belt.

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26, the City Council authorized levy of the maximum OSPD assessment rate of $43.00 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). It is important to note that the actual assessment rate in any fiscal year must be approved by the City Council prior to the levy and may not exceed the authorized maximum assessment rate without receiving property owner approval for the increase.
2 Packet Pg. 41

Page 2 ends

For FY 2026-27, staff is recommending the City Council approve a $1.00 adjustment from the current levied assessment rate of $43.00 per EDU to the proposed levied assessment rate of $44.00 per EDU, effective July 1, 2026. If approved, this adjustment conforms to the requirements of Proposition 218, as it is equal to the maximum assessment rate for FY 2026-27 allowable by state law.

The ability to annually adjust the maximum assessment rate by $1.00 supports the bond financing utilized by the City to purchase undeveloped land for the specific purpose of expanding the greenbelt surrounding Santa Clarita.

The annual debt servicing for OSPD bonds was structured in a manner that incorporates ascending debt service payments. By issuing ascending debt, the City was able to borrow against future assessment rate increases in order to maximize the size of the borrowing. In FY 2025-26, the OSPD debt service totaled $863,006, while the proposed debt service for FY 2026-27 totals $884,506.

Annual debt service costs continue to increase every year through the 30-year repayment period and will total $1,127,850 in the final year of FY 2036-37. To offset rising debt service costs, it is necessary to adjust the annual OSPD rate by the voter-approved amount each year in order to retire bond indebtedness.

The process of ordering, approving, and setting the public hearing on the annual levy of the OSPD is required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and allows the City to continue levying assessments in FY 2026-27 for the purpose of acquiring open space properties. The attached Engineer's Report in the City Clerk’s Reading File describes the OSPD, including the improvements, budgets, parcels, and proposed assessments for FY 2026-27.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon adoption of the Open Space Preservation District annual levy for Fiscal Year 2026-27, $44.00 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit will be placed on the Los Angeles County tax roll. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, annual OSPD special assessment revenues are estimated to be approximately $3.6 million. The funds will be deposited into the OSPD Special Assessment Revenue Account 358-402401 and will be utilized for open space, park, and parkland program purposes.

DATE: June 9, 2026
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE

DETERMINING THE ANNUAL STORMWATER POLLUTION
PREVENTION FEE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Darin Seegmiller

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing on the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Fee for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

2. Introduce and pass to second reading an ordinance entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING

THE ANNUAL STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION FEE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27.”

BACKGROUND

The Annual Stormwater Pollution Prevention Fee (Fee) collection began in 1995. The Fee supports the implementation of the requirements of the 1972 Federal Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES Permit). Many state-mandated programs are funded with fees collected under the NPDES Permit, including cleaning of storm drain catch basins, street sweeping, industrial inspections, pollution prevention education, water quality monitoring and administration.

In 2009, property owners approved the Fee through a special ballot election process conducted per the requirements of the California State Constitution and Proposition 218 Article XIIID. A total of 13,459 valid ballots were received. Of those the ballots received, 10,294 (76 percent) voted "yes," and 3,165 (24 percent) voted "no." As a result, the City Council held a public hearing on October 27, 2009, and adopted Ordinance No. 09-14 (Ordinance), establishing the new methodology to be used to calculate the Fee.
3 Packet Pg. 47

Page 2 ends

Under Section 3 of the Ordinance, the City Council shall annually determine the rates of the Fee, subject to the maximum Fee authorized by the Ordinance. The City Council may decide to do any of the following: A) discontinue the Fee; B) reduce or maintain the actual Fee rate imposed below the maximum Fee rate authorized; or C) adjust the rate up to or below the maximum voter-authorized rate if it has been previously set below such rate. The City Council is not required to include an inflation increase annually, but may choose to accumulate the inflationary increase and enact the cumulative amount.

Pursuant to Section 15.50.070 of the Santa Clarita Municipal Code, the City of Santa Clarita (City) shall annually hold a public hearing or meeting, where an oral and written presentation may be made in connection with the Fee. The City Clerk has published notice of such annual public hearing as provided by law for the City Council meeting of June 9, 2026.

City staff recommends the Stormwater Fee for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 be levied at $33.76 per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU), which is equal to the maximum allowable under the guidelines of Section 3 of the Ordinance. The recommended levy represents an adjustment of $0.98 compared to the levied Fee of $32.78 in FY 2025-26. The Fee is calculated by adding an amount equal to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim areas for the preceding year ending December 2025, which was 3.01 percent.

This inflationary adjustment is needed to provide the City with proper funding to meet its permit obligations. The NPDES Permit requires the City to implement multiple programs and activities to reduce or eliminate water pollution. These programs include street sweeping, construction site inspections, industrial inspections, illicit discharge investigations, spill clean-up, storm drain maintenance, public information, land-development requirements, water testing, stormwater infiltration projects, and Citywide administration. In addition, in compliance with the Statewide Trash Policy, the City must install and maintain various trash-excluder devices to prevent trash from entering the Santa Clara River.

The FY 2026-27 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Fee Engineer’s Report and a preliminary list of the rates for all properties subject to the Fee are attached to this item as reading file material, along with a draft ordinance determining the rate. If the ordinance is adopted, Willdan Financial Services, Inc. is directed to prepare and file the final list of rates with the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller to be placed on the FY 2026-27 tax rolls and collected with regular City and County taxes.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon adoption of the Annual Stormwater Pollution Prevention Fee for FY 2026-27, $33.76 per Equivalent Residential Unit will be placed on the Los Angeles County tax roll. For FY 2026-27, annual Stormwater Pollution Prevention Fee revenues are estimated to be approximately $5.1 3 Packet Pg. 48

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

2. Increase General Fund Capital Projects Revenue Account 601-462110 (Energy Rebates) by $2,534,622, and appropriate $2,214,253 to Energy Efficiency Expenditure Account R0033601-516101.

3. Appropriate a one-time budget increase from the Landscape Maintenance District Fund Balance (Fund 357) to expenditure account 3572425-516113 in the amount of $328,355.

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND

On September 27, 2022, the City Council awarded a contract to Climatec, LLC (Climatec) as part of the City’s Energy Efficiency Program. Since that time, Climatec has successfully completed the implementation of a wide range of energy conservation and infrastructure modernization measures throughout City facilities and has demonstrated the technical expertise and capacity necessary to deliver complex lighting, electrical, and renewable energy infrastructure projects.

4 Packet Pg. 55

Page 2 ends

The City’s Energy Efficiency Program includes the following completed improvements:

• HVAC modernizations at 15 sites;
• New Building Automation Systems at 23 sites;
• Interior LED lighting upgrades at 27 sites;
• Exterior lighting upgrades at 36 sites;
• Sports field LED lighting and controls at 7 sites;
• Solar photovoltaic systems at 6 sites;
• Smart irrigation controls at 24 sites;
• Redesign of the ice rink refrigeration plant;
• High-efficiency transformers at 6 sites; and
• Building envelope improvements at 3 sites.

Completed program measures are monitored through annual Measurement and Verification (M&V) reports that track energy savings and overall system performance. To date, the Energy Efficiency Program has generated approximately $900,000 in utility savings, with annual savings expected to increase significantly as the City’s solar photovoltaic systems continue operating at full production. The project is on track to achieve the utility and operational savings that are contractually guaranteed by Climatec.

In addition to ongoing operational savings, the City has received $2,532,998 in Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives associated with the City’s existing solar investments.

It should be noted that the City’s Energy Efficiency Project was approved shortly after the IRA was enacted. Because the IRA incentive programs and related federal guidance were still new and evolving at that time, staff did not include potential IRA reimbursement funding in the original project savings projections. As a result, the City now has an opportunity to leverage previously unanticipated federal funding to expand the program while minimizing the use of local funding sources.

Additional Solar Installations

The City’s existing solar systems are currently generating approximately 2.5 million kilowatt- hours annually and producing more than $400,000 in annual utility savings. These systems have demonstrated the effectiveness of onsite renewable energy in reducing utility costs, offsetting rising electricity rates, and improving long-term budget stability.

With the City’s initial solar installations now fully operational and producing measurable energy savings, staff recommends expanding the program to include additional solar photovoltaic systems at the following facilities:

• Canyon Country Community Center;
• The Rink Sports Pavilion; and
• Valencia Community Center.

The total cost for adding solar at these sites is $2,214,253. Based on current projections, the 4 Packet Pg. 56

Page 3 ends

proposed additional solar installations are anticipated to generate approximately $4,450,490 in total lifecycle savings. In addition to reducing annual utility expenditures, the proposed systems are expected to provide long-term protection against escalating electricity costs and improve operational budget predictability.

Staff recommends increasing contract authority with Climatec in the amount of $2,214,253 to complete the installation of solar projects at these three sites. Additionally, staff recommends proceeding on an accelerated schedule to preserve eligibility for approximately $800,000 in federal renewable energy incentives associated with the Inflation Reduction Act requirements.

LMD T-46 Paseo Lighting Repairs

Within Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) T-46 (Northbridge), the City maintains approximately 375 pedestrian walkway lights across roughly nine miles of paseo pathways.

These paseos are heavily utilized by residents throughout the year, including during evening hours, making reliable lighting essential for public safety and accessibility.

In 2015, the City completed a capital improvement project that replaced the original paseo lighting system with energy-efficient LED fixtures and a centralized lighting control system. The project improved energy efficiency and provided remote monitoring and lighting control capabilities through a manufacturer-provided web-based platform known as Virticus.

The lighting system installed as part of that project relies on the Virticus platform for system programming, monitoring, and diagnostics. While City staff had operational visibility into the system, all programming modifications required coordination with the manufacturer.

The manufacturer has since discontinued support for the Virticus platform, which is now operating unreliably. As a result, City staff no longer have access to system-level controls or diagnostics, and many lighting issues must now be addressed manually in the field. These failures have resulted in inconsistent lighting operations, including lights remaining on outside normal operating hours, as well as increased maintenance challenges.

City staff have continued to receive concerns and service requests from Northbridge residents regarding these lighting inconsistencies. Addressing these issues remains a priority due to the importance of the paseo system to the surrounding community.

To address the ongoing system failures, staff evaluated several long-term corrective options, including retrofitting the existing fixtures with updated control components and fully replacing the lighting fixtures and control system. Based on this evaluation, staff determined that a turn- key replacement approach represents the most reliable and cost-effective long-term solution.

Accordingly, staff recommends increasing contract authority with Climatec in the amount of $328,355 to complete the turn-key installation of upgraded lighting fixtures and controls throughout the Northbridge paseo system.

The proposed improvements will restore reliable lighting operations, improve system functionality and maintenance capabilities, enhance energy efficiency, and improve safety and 4 Packet Pg. 57

Page 4 ends

quality of life for residents utilizing the paseo network.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, a one-time budget increase of $2,214,253 will be appropriated from the General Fund Capital Projects (Fund 601) to Energy Efficiency Expenditure Account R0033601-516101, with a corresponding increase of $2,532,998 to Revenue Account 601-462110, to support the installation of additional solar photovoltaic systems at the Canyon Country Community Center, The Rink Sports Pavilion, and Valencia Community Center. Additionally, a one-time budget increase of $328,355 will be appropriated from the Landscape Maintenance District Fund (Fund 357) to Expenditure Account 3572425- 516113.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: June 9, 2026
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AND

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Brittany Houston

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council and City Council acting as Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita:

2. Adopt a resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program.

3. Adopt a resolution approving and adopting the annual appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

4. Adopt a resolution electing to receive all or a portion of the tax revenues pursuant to the Health and Safety Code (Community Redevelopment Law).

5. Adopt a resolution amending the City’s Classification Plan and Salary Schedule, providing for compensation of the employees of the City.

6. Adopt a resolution adopting an amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code.

BACKGROUND

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 budget process is a six-month effort that began in January. In addition to staff preparation, the City Council Budget Committee, which is comprised of Mayor Weste and Mayor Pro Tem Ayala, reviewed the proposed budget with the City Manager so that the City Manager can make a final recommendation to the entire City Council. 5 Packet Pg. 60

Page 2 ends

During the budget process, information about the City of Santa Clarita (City) budget is provided during multiple noticed, public meetings, all of which allowed for public comment. Meetings held during this year’s budget process are listed below:

1. City Council Budget Committee Meeting: January 27, 2026

2. Joint Budget Study Session: February 3, 2026

3. City Council Budget Committee Meeting: April 21, 2026

4. Joint Budget Study Session: May 5, 2026

5. City Council Meeting - Public Hearing: May 26, 2026
The proposed draft budget was distributed to the City Council and made available to the public on May 21, 2026. At the May 26, 2026, City Council meeting, a public hearing was conducted, the draft budget was presented, and the City Council found that the Draft FY 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is consistent with the City’s General Plan.

Total Appropriations
The FY 2026-27 budget totals $361.4 million. This includes funding for the CIP, the Redevelopment Successor Agency, operations and maintenance, personnel, and debt services.

When compared to the current adopted budget, the proposed FY 2026-27 budget represents a 4.9 percent increase, equivalent to $16.8 million.

Projected Revenues
A significant part of the budget process is estimating revenues for the upcoming fiscal year. This process is critical, as appropriations are based on these projections. Several factors are considered to ensure accuracy in our projections, including the state of the economy, historical trends, population projections/growth, and inflation. With this information, the City can best determine the revenue available for allocation.

For FY 2026-27, total revenue meets total expenditure appropriations.

General Fund Revenues
The City’s largest fund is the General Fund, representing $157.7 million in total revenue. Sales tax is typically the City’s leading General Fund revenue source and is projected to increase 6.3 percent from the current adopted budget to $50.4 million, but is flat compared to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 year-end estimate. General Fund revenues are anticipated to increase 3.3 percent collectively.

General Fund Expenditures
The FY 2026-27 General Fund expenditures total $157.4 million. General Fund expenditures for FY 2026-27 include funding for operating departments, debt services, contingency, and transfers 5 Packet Pg. 61

Page 3 ends

to other funds.

General Fund Operating Reserve
Reserves are a critical component of the budget because this is a funding source that can be counted on in case of an emergency or unforeseen opportunity. The operating reserve will remain at 20 percent of operating expenditures. For FY 2026-27, the City’s operating reserve will total $27.8 million.

Capital Improvement Program
The CIP is a key component of the budget and is of vital importance to the community as a whole as it includes prioritized projects such as parks, buildings, paseos, trails, and street enhancements that improve the quality of life for residents in our community. Comprised of a variety of multi-year and multi-funded capital projects, the CIP for FY 2026-27 totals $96.7 million.

Resolutions
The City Council is being asked to adopt six separate resolutions. Each resolution authorizes the City’s budget plan for general operations, CIP, and all personnel matters. Summaries of the resolutions are listed below:

The first resolution adopts the Annual Budget for FY 2026-27, makes appropriations for the amount budgeted, and establishes policies for the administration of the budget. It also includes the annual contracts list for FY 2026-27, along with budget amendments for FY 2025-26.

The second resolution adopts the CIP for FY 2026-27.

The third resolution adopts the Annual Appropriations Limit for FY 2026-27.

The fourth resolution allows the City to elect to receive all, or a portion of, the tax revenues pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 33676 and 33607.5 (Community Redevelopment Law) and is required in order for the Redevelopment Successor Agency to receive property taxes in amounts equal to that which would have been received under the former Redevelopment Agency.

The fifth resolution provides for the compensation of City employees and amends the Position Classification Plan. Included within this resolution is a 4.0 percent Cost of Living Adjustment for all unrepresented regular, SEIU-represented regular, and part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees.

The sixth resolution adopts an amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council and the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY

OF LOS ANGELES AND APPROVE FUNDING USES FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2026-27 MEASURE A LOCAL SOLUTIONS FUND

ALLOCATION
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: Masis Hagobian

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Amend contract with Los Angeles County and approve funding uses for the Measure A Local Solutions Funds in the amount of $531,272 to be distributed as follows: $251,726 to Family Promise for emergency rental assistance to families experiencing or at risk of homelessness, $251,726 to Bridge to Home to support continued operations of its interim housing site and navigation services; and $27,820 for the Homeless Services Intern to support administration of the Santa Clarita Valley Task Force on Homelessness.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND

In November 2024, Los Angeles County (County) voters approved Measure A, establishing a permanent one-half percent sales tax to fund homeless services and affordable housing development. Measure A replaced the prior Measure H quarter-percent sales tax and took effect on April 1, 2025. Measure A is estimated to generate approximately $1.1 billion annually.

8 Packet Pg. 103

Page 2 ends

Pursuant to Measure A, revenues are to be distributed as follows: 60 percent to comprehensive homeless services and homelessness solutions innovations; 36 percent to the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA); 3 percent to the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) to support local housing production; and 1 percent to fund data collection, research, and accountability initiatives.

Local Solutions Fund

Of the 60 percent dedicated to homeless services, Measure A requires that at least 15 percent, approximately $97 million, be set aside for the Local Solutions Fund (LSF). The LSF, which also existed under Measure H, is a designated pool of funding that is distributed to cities, councils of governments, and the County for unincorporated areas. The LSF is designed to support programs that demonstrate measurable outcomes toward addressing homelessness.

Measure A specifies that the LSF be distributed via a formula based on the Point-in-Time (PIT) count required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and/or similar methods as decided by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (Board of Supervisors) with input from cities within the County. On March 25, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved an LSF distribution formula that incorporates a multi-year average of the two most recent PIT homelessness counts and American Community Survey (ACS) data.

Prior Use of LSF Funds

Under Measure H, the City dedicated its LSF allocation primarily to the construction of a new interim housing facility and resource center operated by Family Promise of Santa Clarita Valley (Family Promise), which celebrated its grand opening in November 2024, and added four affordable housing units and an emergency overnight unit. Additionally, the City has leveraged its LSF allocation to support the position of a Homeless Services Intern, who has been instrumental in implementing the 2018, 2022, and 2025 Community Action Plans to Combat Homelessness, adopted by the Santa Clarita Valley Community Task Force on Homelessness.

Fiscal Year 2025-26 marked the first year of funding under Measure A. The City received a total LSF allocation of $476,145. This funding was awarded by the City Council on July 8, 2025, and was primarily distributed between the City’s two main homeless service providers, Family Promise and Bridge to Home. During this grant period, Bridge to Home has successfully placed 12 individuals into permanent housing and provided housing navigation services to 25 individuals. Additionally, Family Promise has assisted 76 households through rental assistance, helping to prevent homelessness and support housing stability.

Fiscal Year 2026-27 LSF Allocation and Recommended Uses

The City has been allocated $531,272 in LSF funding for FY 2026-27. Upon review of the eligible uses of LSF funds and building upon the successes of the current year, the recommendation is to allocate the majority of the FY 2026-27 allocation between the City’s two largest homeless services providers: Family Promise and Bridge to Home. Specifically, it is recommended that $251,726 be granted to Family Promise to provide emergency rental assistance and financial support to families at imminent risk of homelessness. The same amount 8 Packet Pg. 104

Page 3 ends

is recommended for Bridge to Home to support continued operations of the interim housing site, which includes 69 beds dedicated to adults, and to assist with housing navigation services. The remaining $27,820 is proposed to fund the Homeless Services Intern position, which will continue to facilitate the implementation of the 2025 Community Action Plan to Address Homelessness.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions adequate funds will be available in 2733207-500201 (Measure A Homeless Initiative PTS) and 2733707-516101 (Measure A Homeless Initiative Contractual Services) to support the amended contract with the County of Los Angeles.

HOUSING SOLUTIONS AGENCY ANNUAL BUDGET FOR

MEASURE A FUNDS
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: Masis Hagobian

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget for Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) funding and authorize its submission.

2. Increase Measure A LACAHSA revenues and corresponding appropriations as follows:
increase revenue account 275-462101 (LACAHSA PPO) by $2,439,239 and appropriate the same amount to expenditure account 2753208-517101; increase revenue account 277-462101 (LACAHSA TA) by $138,599 and appropriate the same amount to expenditure account 2773210-516102.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND

The Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) was established through Senate Bill (SB) 679 (Chapter 557, Statutes of 2024) as a regional entity responsible for administering voter-approved funding to support affordable housing solutions throughout Los Angeles County (County).

Funding for LACAHSA is provided through Measure A, a permanent one-half cent countywide sales tax approved by County voters in November 2024. Measure A revenues are intended to support the production and preservation of affordable housing, renter protections, and homelessness prevention efforts across the County.
9 Packet Pg. 106

Page 2 ends

Under SB 679, the City of Santa Clarita (City) is designated as an Eligible Jurisdiction and is therefore entitled to receive a direct annual allocation of Measure A funds from LACAHSA.

FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ALLOCATION

For Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27, the City’s Measure A allocation from LACAHSA totals $3,409,431 in baseline funding. The allocation is primarily based on the City’s share of the County’s overall lower-income housing need established through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and will be subject to change every year based upon consumer spending in the County.

As required by LACAHSA, the City’s FY 2026-27 allocation is divided into three funding categories as summarized below:

LACAHSA Funding Category FY 2026-27 Allocation Administering Agency Production, Preservation, and Ownership
(PPO)
$2,439,239 City
Technical Assistance $ 138,599 City
Renter Protection and Homelessness
Prevention (RPHP)

$ 831,593

LACAHSA
Total $3,409,431

To receive Measure A funds, the City is required to submit an annual budget to LACAHSA describing how the fiscal year allocation will be used. The budget must be approved by the City Council, each year, prior to submission to LACAHSA. The deadline to submit the FY 2026-27 budget is June 15, 2026.

The budget is intended as a planning document, and any expenditures will follow the City’s Purchasing Policy, requiring further City Council action above established thresholds.

CITY COUNCIL AFFORDABLE HOUSING STUDY SESSION

On October 7, 2025, the City Council held a Study Session to discuss affordable housing goals under the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), review the City’s existing inventory of affordable housing units, and review available funding. Staff also provided information regarding inclusionary housing and discussed the financial challenges associated with developing affordable housing, including the level of public subsidy often required to make projects feasible.

The City Council emphasized the importance of ensuring quality and dignity in affordable housing design. Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to develop a grant program to utilize available affordable housing funding and incentivize affordable housing development, and to return to the City Council with further analysis regarding the feasibility of a local inclusionary housing ordinance.

PROPOSED USE OF FUNDS BY CATEGORY

Production, Preservation, and Ownership (PPO) - Administered by City 9 Packet Pg. 107

Page 3 ends

The PPO category is designed to support the production, preservation, and ownership of affordable housing through investments that help close financing gaps and accelerate development.

In the City’s FY 2026-27 budget, PPO funds are proposed to provide direct project investments to address financing gaps for affordable housing development. Funding will support entitled affordable housing projects in need of gap financing and/or incentivize additional affordable housing projects to help meet RHNA production targets. The proposed use of PPO funds is consistent with the direction provided by the City Council at its study session.

Staff is developing a formal program framework to guide the use of these funds. To support this effort, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to retain a consultant with expertise in affordable housing finance and program development. The consultant will assist in establishing program guidelines, eligibility criteria, funding priorities, and administrative procedures. Staff anticipates completing program design and returning to the City Council with recommendations for implementation in early 2027.

Technical Assistance (TA) - Administered by City
The TA category is designed to provide resources for Eligible Jurisdictions to obtain professional expertise to support the planning, design, and administration of their housing programs.

Approved eligible uses of TA funds by LACAHSA include policy development, training and professional services support, and program design, research, and evaluation.

In the City’s FY 2026-27 budget, TA funds are proposed to retain a professional consultant to conduct a nexus study related to affordable housing policies and programs. The study would evaluate potential fee structures and provide the technical analysis necessary to ensure any future fee program considered by the City is consistent with federal and state regulations. The consultant would prepare the study on behalf of City staff to support ongoing discussions related to affordable housing strategies and implementation options. Any future policy direction or program proposals would return to the City Council for consideration.

Renter Protection and Homeless Prevention (RPHP) - Administered by LACAHSA The RPHP category is designed to address housing instability, reduce evictions, and prevent people from falling into homelessness. Program requirements are designed to provide temporary, short-term assistance to Santa Clarita residents who are currently housed in order to prevent the loss of housing or resolve a housing crisis in a timely manner.

The recommendation is to have LACAHSA continue to administer the RPHP program on the City’s behalf. In FY 2025-26, the City Council approved participation in LACAHSA’s Integrated Service Model (ISM) and authorized LACAHSA to administer the City’s RPHP funds on the City’s behalf. While administered through LACAHSA’s regional program structure, the City’s RPHP allocation will remain dedicated to eligible Santa Clarita residents. The ISM has been under development and renamed “RenterAid”. LACAHSA is planning to pilot the RenterAid system to Gateway Cities Council of Governments, South Bay and Long Beach Cities in early fall 2026, and is expecting to launch in January 2027 for Santa Clarita Residents.

Through RenterAid, LACAHSA will oversee program administration, coordinate service 9 Packet Pg. 108

Page 4 ends

delivery, ensure compliance with applicable program and legal requirements, and contract with subrecipient agencies to provide direct assistance to Santa Clarita residents. The City will continue to coordinate closely with LACAHSA to ensure that program activities align with local priorities and that funding is restricted to eligible Santa Clarita residents.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other actions as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Approval of the FY 2026-27 LACAHSA budget will increase Measure A revenues and corresponding appropriations in the City's budget. Revenue account 275-462101 (LACAHSA PPO) will increase by $2,439,239 with a corresponding appropriation to expenditure account 2753208-517101. Revenue account 277-462101 (LACAHSA TA) will increase by $138,599 with a corresponding appropriation to expenditure account 2773210-516102.

In addition, $831,593 from the City's FY 26-27 allocation will be retained by LACAHSA to administer an RPHP program on the City's behalf.

The FY 2026-27 LACAHSA budget is fully supported by Measure A revenues and will have no net impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award the design contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., for the Circulation Improvement Program, Copper Hill Drive at West Hills Drive and Bouquet Canyon Road at Central Park, Project C0080, in the amount of $647,162 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $64,716, for a total contract amount not to exceed $711,878.

2. Authorize the City Clerk to accept a dedication and grant of easement for public use and road purposes subject to final review by the City Attorney.

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) completes circulation improvement projects to address traffic congestion and maintain traffic flow in the City. This project includes improvements at the intersections of Copper Hill Drive at West Hills Drive and Bouquet Canyon Road at Central Park. The project will construct a southbound right-turn lane on Copper Hill Drive at West Hills Drive to better accommodate the high volume of motorists traveling to West Creek Academy. Additionally, the project includes construction of a U-turn pocket on eastbound 10 Packet Pg. 111

Page 2 ends

Bouquet Canyon Road at Central Park. The project will also relocate the pedestrian pathway at the Central Park exit from the west side to the east side and remove the existing sidewalk to accommodate roadway widening for an additional left-turn lane for vehicles exiting Central Park onto Bouquet Canyon Road.

Construction will include modifications to medians, curb and gutter, striping, landscaping, utilities, and irrigation. The improvements are based on staff’s analysis of traffic volumes and observed traffic patterns at the selected intersections. Project locations are shown on the attached Location Map for Copper Hill Drive at West Hills Drive and Location Map for Bouquet Canyon Road at Central Park.

The City is currently coordinating with the West Creek West Hills Homeowners Association, managed by PMP Management, to obtain the additional right-of-way necessary at the intersection of Copper Hill Drive and West Hills Drive. The City is also coordinating with Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA) to expand the ground lease area to encompass the proposed improvement areas at Central Park. The required easements and lease line modifications will be secured prior to the commencement of construction.

This project supports the Sustainable Public Infrastructure theme of the City’s strategic plan, Santa Clarita Pathway Forward.

The scope of work for this design contract includes civil engineering design, land surveying, and landscape design services required to prepare construction documents. These documents will consist of complete plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimates for construction. Bid assistance will also be provided to support the solicitation for a construction contract.

The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide design services, bid support, construction support, and right-of-way support for the Circulation Improvement Program for Copper Hill Drive at West Hills Drive and Bouquet Canyon Road at Central Park project. The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e- procurement system, BidNet, on March 10, 2026. The City transmitted the solicitation to 4,569 vendors on BidNet, of which 73 vendors downloaded the RFP. A total of four companies provided proposals for consideration.

These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company’s ability to meet the specific needs of the City. An evaluation panel, comprised of staff from the Public Works department, scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:

• Responsiveness to the RFP including content, format, and completeness of the written proposal (40 percent)
• Ability to comply and provide deliverables based on the project schedule developed by the Consultant that meets or exceeds the City’s project timeframe (30 percent) • Consultant qualifications and overall project team experience (20 percent) • References (10 percent)

The evaluation panel scored the responses based on a 100-point scale, with the results outlined below:
10 Packet Pg. 112

Rank Company Location Score
1 Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Santa Clarita, CA 93.8 2 Psomas Santa Clarita, CA 93.6
3 Rick Engineering Company Valencia, CA 87.6
4 Sikand Engineering Associates Sherman Oaks, CA 78.8

In reviewing proposals, the evaluation panel awarded the highest score to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The evaluation panel determined that Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.’s proposal offered the best overall value to meet the design service needs.

Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs and provided a detailed scope of work and approach to the project. They analyzed the project location and identified key design factors that will need to be addressed in the design. Based on their design experience with similar projects, and the completeness of their proposal for this project, staff recommends awarding the design contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The proposal is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

California Government Code 4526 prescribes the selection of architectural and engineering services to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required and does not authorize the selection of professional architect and engineering services based on cost. City staff was able to reach an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., at a fair and reasonable price.

The requested contingency will cover the cost of unforeseen design constraints and account for potential design modifications requested by the City and other permitting agencies during the design of the project. This includes potential adjustments to the civil and traffic drawings, engineering and landscape drawings, additional field investigations including potholing for utility locations, coordination with utility companies, right-of-way activities and associated fees, and change orders for additional work requested by the City.

The City Council appropriated $771,000 for this project upon adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Mid-Year budget adjustments in December 2025. The project budget is $771,000, representing $711,878 for design and $59,122 for project administration costs. Project administrative costs include staff time, project management, right-of-way and permit fees.

City Council:

2. Approve an ongoing appropriation in the amount of $106,502 from the Recreation Facility Fund (Fund 120) to Contractual Services Expenditure Account 1205120-516101, beginning in FY 2026-27.

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND

The Cube Ice and Entertainment Center (The Cube) was acquired by the City of Santa Clarita (City) in 2021 and is operated by a third-party operator, American Sports Entertainment Company (ASEC). The facility offers a wide range of ice and skating programs for the 11 Packet Pg. 117

Page 2 ends

community, including public skating sessions, youth and adult hockey leagues, figure skating programs, learn-to-skate classes, and special events.

These activities rely on the continuous and reliable operation of the facility’s complex thermal and refrigeration systems to create and maintain the ice surface, regulate indoor climate and prevent moisture-related issues. A properly functioning system ensures optimal ice conditions and temperature. Routine preventive maintenance of these systems along with as needed repairs are essential to ensure the safe, efficient, and uninterrupted operation of the facility. ASEC currently contracts with Complete Thermal Services, Inc. for these services. Due to the scope and annual cost associated with these specialized services, staff determined that establishing a City-administered contract through a formal competitive procurement process would provide greater oversight, ensure compliance with City purchasing requirements, and secure a qualified contractor to support the facility’s ongoing operational needs.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) was published via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on March 13, 2026, to solicit proposals from qualified vendors to provide preventative maintenance and repairs to the thermal, HVAC, and ammonia refrigeration systems at The Cube. The solicitation was distributed to 561 vendors, of which 27 vendors downloaded the materials and three attended the pre-proposal meeting. Two responsive proposals were received from on April 20, 2026.

These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company’s ability to meet the specific needs of the City. An evaluation panel comprised of City staff from Recreation and Community Services, Neighborhood Services and Public Works and representatives from ASEC scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:

• Contractor qualifications, scope of work, and program management (30 points) • Experience on similar projects in particular ice rink refrigeration systems (20 points) • Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, and ability to provide services to meet standards (20 points)
• Cost of services (30 points)

The evaluation team scored the responsive proposals and held interviews with both vendors.

Based on the selection criteria the vendors were rated as follows:

Rank Company Location Proposal Cost Score
1 Complete Thermal Services (CTS) Garden Grove, CA $96,820 89.8 2 Race Engineering (RE) Garden Grove, CA $41,865 86.6

Staff evaluated the proposals submitted for the Cube’s refrigeration system preventive maintenance and repair services based on the criteria outlined in the RFP, inclusive of interviews with each vendor. During the interview process, it was identified that RE’s cost proposal did not align with the RFP’s pricing format. RE also did not demonstrate experience providing ongoing preventative maintenance, monitoring, and repair services for ice rink refrigeration systems

In contrast, CTS demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the specialized maintenance, monitoring, and repair services required for an ice rink refrigeration system, including 11 Packet Pg. 118

coordination of preventative maintenance activities and emergency response support. CTS also demonstrated an approach that aligned with the City’s operational and service expectations for the facility.

Evaluators determined CTS’s pricing to be reasonable and consistent with current industry standards and the specialized expertise required to maintain and service complex ammonia refrigeration systems. Based on the overall evaluation and interview process, staff recommends awarding the contract to Complete Thermal Services, Inc.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, the FY 2026-27 budget in the Recreation Facility Expenditure Account 1205120-516101 will increase by $106,502. The ongoing base budget commencing FY 2027-28 will be contingent upon appropriations of funds by the City Council during the annual budget process.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: June 9, 2026
SUBJECT: CONTRACT FOR JANITORIAL SERVICES AT THE CUBE ICE AND

ENTERTAINMENT CENTER
DEPARTMENT: Recreation and Community Services
PRESENTER: Kyle Lopez

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the use of a cooperative agreement through Sourcewell contract #031125-NEWG and award a one-year contract to NewGen Cleaning Services, for janitorial services at The Cube Ice and Entertainment Center in the amount of $136,516 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $6,000, for a total contract amount not to exceed $142,516.

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND

In order to maintain high-quality conditions at City of Santa Clarita (City)-owned facilities, janitorial services are required to ensure facilities remain clean, safe, and prepared for daily use by the public, staff, and program participants. Due to the high volume of visitors and activities hosted at The Cube, consistent cleaning and maintenance services are essential to support day-to- day operations and provide a quality experience for patrons.

12 Packet Pg. 120

Page 2 ends

Staff evaluated the option of incorporating janitorial services for The Cube into the City’s existing citywide janitorial services agreement, which is currently with Servicon Systems, Inc. (Servicon); however, it was determined to be cost prohibitive. Staff recommends using the City’s cooperative purchasing option for this contract, which satisfies the City’s purchasing policy by leveraging a competitively solicited and publicly awarded cooperative contract, allowing the City to obtain favorable pricing and terms while streamlining the procurement process. The City is contracting with NewGen using a cooperative contract with Sourcewell. This contract #031125- NEWG, which was awarded on May 19, 2025, was solicited through a request for proposals (RFP) process and is valid through May 19, 2029, with up to three additional one-year extensions.

The proposed agreement would be for a one-year term with a one-year optional renewal. This interim approach will provide staff additional time to further evaluate the janitorial needs of The Cube and allow janitorial services for the facility to be incorporated into the next formal solicitation process for the City’s citywide janitorial services contract. The existing citywide janitorial services agreement with Servicon is set to expire on June 30, 2027.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, the FY 2026-27 budget for the Recreation Facility Expenditure Account 1205120-516143 will increase by $142,516. The ongoing base budget beginning in FY 2027-28 will be contingent upon appropriations of funds by the City Council through the annual budget adoption process.

SUBJECT: CONSULTANT PREPARATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACT REPORT FOR THE SUNRIDGE DEVELOPMENT

CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: David Peterson

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND

The Sunridge Development (Project) (Master Case 24-266) is a request by New Urban West, Inc., (Applicant) to develop an approximately 980-acre site located on vacant land (Project site).

The Project site is located directly south of the Santa Clara River; west of Golden Valley High School and Santa Clarita Sports Complex; north of Quigley Canyon Open Space and Circle J Ranch, an existing single-family residential neighborhood; northeast of Claibournes Arch, an existing single-family residential neighborhood; and east of various existing industrial uses. The Plan Area is also west of an existing commercial center known as Centre Point Village, located along Soledad Canyon Road and Golden Valley Road. The subject property is within the Porta Bella Specific Plan zone. The Project would replace the existing Porta Bella Specific Plan which was approved by the City Council in 1995.

The Applicant has submitted entitlements for the Project, proposing a mixed -use community on approximately 980-acres. Additionally, the Applicant proposes a public park to be developed on 13 Packet Pg. 122

Page 2 ends

a portion of the adjacent 241 -acre City -owned property. The Project consists of 5,750 single - family and multi -family residential units, including an amount of affordable units; 2.9 million square feet of nonresidential space; and 3 30-acres of park and recreational uses, primarily open space. The Project proposes the buildout of one General Plan roadway, Via Princessa, the partial buildout of another, Santa Clarita Parkway, and the elimination of the Magic Mountain Parkway build out. The Project contemplates a total estimate of 29 million cubic yards of grading between the mixed -use community and the adjacent City -owned property. The Applicant has indicated that they are interested in exploring the creation of a community facilities d istrict (CFD) for improvements associated with the development of the project.

The Project site is zoned as a Specific Plan (SP) and includes a range of residential, mixed-use, business park, school overlay, and open space subzones intended to support phased development of residential neighborhoods, commercial and employment centers, schools, parks, trails, and recreational amenities. Residential land uses would range from low-density single-family development to higher-density urban village and mixed-use residential neighborhoods.

Nonresidential uses would include a wave park, business park, retail, institutional, recreational, and open space uses.

Primary access to the Project would be provided via the buildout of Via Princessa and partial buildout of Santa Clarita Parkway, with additional circulation provided through an internal roadway network connecting the various residential, mixed-use, and business park areas throughout the Specific Plan area.

The property is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and portions of the site are located within a Liquefaction Hazard Zone and an Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone.

The Project requires approval of the following entitlements:
• General Plan Amendment (Class V) 24-001: A General Plan Amendment (GP) is required to replace the existing Porta Bella Specific Plan with the Sunridge Specific Plan, including a change in the Plan Area boundary. Amendments to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element and Circulation Element will also be required to replace references to the Porta Bella Specific Plan and to reflect revisions to the roadway network and the land uses established in the Sunridge Specific Plan.
• Zone Change (Class VII) 24-001: A Zone Change (ZC) is required. • Oak Tree Permit (Class IV) 24-002: An Oak Tree Permit (Class IV) is required for the removal of four or more oak trees.
• Hillside Development Review (Class IV) 24-004: A Hillside Development Review (HDR) is required as development will occur on properties with an average cross slope greater than 15 percent.
• Ridgeline Alteration Permit (Class V) 24-001: A Ridgeline Alteration Permit (RAP) is required to regulate development located in the ridgeline preservation (RP) overlay zone. • Tentative Tract Map (ENG25-017): To facilitate development, a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) will create 53 lots and roads for the Plan Area.
• Environmental Impact Report 24-002: A Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to analyze the Specific Plan’s impacts that have the potential for significant environmental impacts. • Community Facilities District (CFD): The Applicant has indicated that they are interested in 13 Packet Pg. 123

Page 3 ends

exploring the formation of a CFD to fund public improvements associated with the Project. • Development Agreement: The MOU contemplates the potential consideration of a development agreement as part of the Project's implementation.

The Project is currently under review and requires environmental review under CEQA. Based on anticipated impacts associated with the Project, the appropriate CEQA document required for the Project is an EIR. Since the City of Santa Clarita (City) does not have the in-house expertise or resources available to complete an EIR, an outside environmental consulting firm is required to complete this task. The EIR will analyze a variety of topics including, but not limited to, traffic, geology and soils, biology, wildfire, air quality, noise, aesthetics, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The EIR will also analyze how the project would interact with and/or impact cleanup efforts, managed by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), of on-site hazardous materials generated by the operation of previous land uses in the project area. The EIR process will help guide coordination between the City and the DTSC regarding this area of study.

The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to prepare an EIR for the Project. The Memorandum of Understanding approved by the City Council for the project in September 2024, identified preparation of a Program EIR for the project. However, at the request of the project applicant, and with the concurrence of City staff, preparation of a Project EIR was ultimately within the scope of the RFP. The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on March 10, 2026. The City transmitted the solicitation to 4,542 vendors on BidNet, of which 97 vendors downloaded the RFP. Seven firms provided proposals for consideration.

An evaluation panel comprised of City staff reviewed and evaluated the proposals based on qualifications, relevant experience, project approach, and the firms’ demonstrated ability to successfully prepare and manage complex CEQA documentation. Evaluation criteria included the following:

• Contractor qualifications, plan of study/scope of work, program management (40 points) • Experience on similar projects (30 points)
• Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, and ability to provide services to meet objectives and standards (30 points)
• Cost of materials and services provided as well as discounts offered (reviewed separately for completeness and reasonableness and not used as part of the scored ranking process)

Consistent with California Government Code Section 4526, the selection of professional architectural, engineering, environmental, and related professional services is based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required, rather than price alone. Accordingly, proposals were evaluated and ranked based on qualifications and non-cost criteria.

The scoring results are shown below:

RANK FIRM LOCATION SCORE
1 Michael Baker International, Inc. Long Beach, CA 92 2 HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. La Mesa, CA 86
3 Envicom Corporation Westlake Village, CA 81
4 SWCA Incorporated Pasadena, CA 77
5 Impact Sciences Los Angeles, CA 73
6 UltraSystems Environmental Inc. Irvine, CA 72
7 EcoTierra Consulting Los Angeles, CA 72

In addition to evaluating written proposals, City staff conducted interviews with the three highest-scoring firms: Michael Baker International, Inc., HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc., and Envicom Corporation. The interviews provided an opportunity for the firms to further discuss their project approach, CEQA strategy, experience with complex environmental review processes, project team composition, and overall ability to manage the preparation of the EIR in coordination with City staff and the project applicant.

Based on the interviews, City staff determined that Michael Baker International, Inc. (MBI) demonstrated the strongest overall understanding of the Project, the most comprehensive approach to managing the environmental review process, and the greatest depth of relevant experience with comparable CEQA projects.

Interview scores were as follows (10 points maximum):

RANK FIRM LOCATION SCORE
1 Michael Baker International, Inc. Long Beach, CA 9
2 HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. La Mesa, CA 6
3 Envicom Corporation Westlake Village, CA 6

Based on the quality of MBI’s proposal, qualifications, relevant project experience, and interview performance, City staff recommends MBI as the firm most qualified to complete the preparation of the EIR for the Project.

The proposed cost for the MBI scope of services is $875,102. The Scope of Work includes preparation of the Project Description; peer review of technical studies; coordination of the Notice of Preparation and Scoping Meeting; preparation of the Draft EIR; responses to comments; preparation of the Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP); and attendance at public hearings. Michael Baker International, Inc., anticipates an approximate 16-month schedule to complete the EIR once all applicant-prepared technical studies have been submitted. This is consistent with the proposed timelines for other projects 13 Packet Pg. 125

Page 5 ends

including the 12-month proposed timeline for the Belcaro project and the 20-month timeline for the Shadowbox project. Most recently, the City approved an EIR contract for the Belcaro Development Project, which is a smaller-scale project with an anticipated review process of approximately one year.

Due to the complexity of the Project and surrounding area, City staff requested that consultants include contingency pricing as part of their proposals. The Request for Proposals (RFP) was released while the Project Description was still being finalized; therefore, consultants were requested to provide a separate schedule of pricing associated with potential revisions to the Project Description and related environmental analysis.

The proposed contingency amount is $370,771, bringing the total contract amount to a not-to- exceed amount of $1,245,873. The contingency is intended to address potential recirculation of the Draft EIR and any supplemental environmental analysis that may be required if revisions to the EIR are necessary. The contingency also provides flexibility to address unforeseen issues identified during the environmental review process. The Applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with preparation of the EIR and the related consultant contract. Upon award of the contract, the Applicant will deposit the required funds into a trust account maintained by the City.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

All costs associated with the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report will be the responsibility of the Applicant for the Sunridge Development. There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this item.

1.2.1 BASE BID SCOPE OF WORK
Page | 1

11..22..11.. BBaassee BBiidd SSccooppee ooff WWoorrkk As required in the City’s RFP, this section includes the costs for all tasks and subtasks described in Section

1.1.3, Plan of Study/Scope of Work, of the Response File. Table 1 below provides this proposal’s total costs, and Table 2 provides the billing rates for proposed staff from Years 2026 through 2028. The proposed base bid cost for our scope of work is $875,102.05. A detailed breakdown of costs by task and individual is provided on the attached spreadsheet; however, we understand that costs will be dependent upon the specific services performed under this scope of work. Relative to the cost estimate, it is realized that the proposed costs are in fact an approximation of the labor and reimbursable costs by task. Actual costs per task within the framework of the not-to-exceed task amount will be billed to the City on a time and materials basis. Michael Baker requests flexibility to increase or decrease the level of effort between tasks and among staff within the total not-to- exceed limit of the overall budget.

For budgeting purposes, our scope of work assumes the following, consistent with the deliverables identified in the RFP, except where noted:
• An electronic copy (Word and pdf format) of a working draft version of the Administrative Draft EIR for City staff review.
• Five hard copies and one electronic copy (Word and pdf format) of the preliminary (screencheck) Draft EIR for City staff review.
• Five hard copies and one electronic copy (pdf format) of the Appendices for the preliminary Draft EIR for City staff review; for printing budget purposes, Michael Baker assumes that the Appendices will total no more than 1,000 pages.
• Ten hard copies and one reproducible master of the Draft EIR for public review and an electronic copy (Word and pdf format) of the Draft EIR.
• Ten hard copies of the appendices for the Draft EIR for public review and an electronic copy (pdf format) of the appendices for the Draft EIR; for printing budget purposes, Michael Baker assumes that the Appendices will total no more than 1,000 pages.
• An electronic copy (Word and pdf format) of a working draft version of the Administrative Final EIR for City staff review.
• An electronic copy (Word and pdf format) of the preliminary (screencheck) Final EIR for City staff review.
• Fifteen copies and one reproducible master of the Final EIR for public review and an electronic copy (Word and pdf format) the Final EIR.

In addition, a new California law requires CEQA documents submitted to the State Clearinghouse (SCH), as a state agency, be compliant with the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Because creating WCAG-compliant documents is a very time-intensive exercise, our cost only includes staff time to produce WCAG-compliant Draft and Final EIRs but not the EIR Appendices. Due to the unknown length of these appendices at this time, our proposed cost does not include producing WCAG-compliant EIR Appendices as the cost will vary based on length and complexity of the documents. Michael Baker will provide the City within an estimate for these costs once the number of appendices has been determined.

Our proposed scope of services provided in Section 1.1.3, Plan of Study/Scope of Work, of the Response File, also includes a kickoff meeting, a scoping meeting, and a community meeting during the 45-day review of the Draft EIR, and regular staff meetings throughout the CEQA process. Furthermore, the cost identified in the table below includes time for the Michael Baker project management team to assist with the preparation of presentations and attendance at one Planning Commission hearing and one City Council hearing.

1.2.2 ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS PRICING
Page | 2

11..22..22.. AADDDDIITTIIOONNAALL AANNAALLYYSSIISS PPRRIICCIINNGG Consistent with requirements Sections 1.2.2.1 through 1.2.2.5 of the RFP, Table 1 also presents our estimated cost for work that may be required due to changes in the project description and associated environmental analyses. Separate optional costs associated with recirculation of the Draft EIR (Section 1.2.2.4) or preparation of a Supplemental EIR or Revised EIR (Section 1.2.2.5) are shown at the bottom of the table. These optional costs are our best estimation at this point. However, accurate costs for recirculation of the Draft EIR or a Supplemental/Revised EIR cannot be provided until the nature and extent of the Project changes are identified.

In addition, the estimated cost of attendance at additional public meeting or hearings or extended coordination with reviewing agencies (Section 1.2.2.6) will vary and depend on which members of the Project team the City requests to participate; the cost per public meeting or hearing may range from $2,300 (attendance by our Principal-in-Charge, Project Manager, and Deputy Project Manager) to $5,000 (additional staff attendance, such as our senior biologists, transportation engineers, and/or technical specialists), and virtual one-hour coordination meetings with reviewing agencies may start at $800 per meeting.

Regarding responses to unusually high volumes of public or agency comments (Section 1.2.2.7), we estimate that, on average, responding to an individual comment in a comment letter will typically require 1 to 2 hours of staff time; however, responding to certain individual comments may take up to 5 to 6 hours of staff time, depending on the complexity of the comment, whether subject matter experts are needed to weigh in on the comment, and whether the comment is attorney-written. Therefore, we would assume that addressing 100 additional comments may require between $10,000 to $50,000 more, with the assumption that a number of these comments are similar in nature to ones already addressed during the initial batch of responses to comments. Hourly billing rates by staff are presented in Table 2.

As required in the City’s RFP, this proposal is a firm offer for a 120-day period, and work will be performed at the “not-to-exceed” price shown in Table 1.

This cost proposal is signed by Fareeha Kibriya, who is the authorized representative to make legally binding commitments for Michael Baker.

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: June 9, 2026
SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR CITYWIDE JANITORIAL

SERVICES
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Bryan Peck

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

2. Appropriate an ongoing expenditure of $49,739 for cost increases related to Consumer Price Index adjustments across various accounts, as outlined in Exhibit A, to support Citywide janitorial services with Servicon Systems, Inc.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND

Janitorial services are provided at 53 City of Santa Clarita (City) owned and operated locations, including City Hall, the Transit Maintenance Facility, The MAIN, three community centers, four Metrolink stations, three public libraries, various parking structures, and City park facilities.

Collectively, these sites represent over 700,000 square feet of serviced space. These services are essential to maintaining sanitary conditions and providing a safe, welcoming environment for the public.

The City currently contracts with Servicon Systems, Inc. (Servicon) to perform routine cleaning services across its facilities. These services are typically conducted during evening hours when facilities are unoccupied, minimizing disruption to daily operations. The responsibilities of the 14 Packet Pg. 131

Page 2 ends

contracted janitorial personnel include, but are not limited to, emptying trash and recycling receptacles, dusting surfaces, cleaning glass partitions and tabletops, mopping and vacuuming floors, refilling paper product dispensers, and performing other general interior cleaning tasks.

On June 28, 2022, following a Request for Proposal process, the City Council awarded a two- year contract to Servicon for janitorial services, with the option for up to three one-year renewal periods. Since the initial two-year contract, the City has elected to exercise two one-year renewal options. City staff recommends that the City Council exercise the third and final one-year renewal option with Servicon, with modifications.

The one-year renewal contract includes an increase in expenditure authority of $88,400 to incorporate janitorial services for The Rink Sports Pavilion, an increase in expenditure authority of $22,604 to cover on-demand and porter service costs associated with a 2.5 percent Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment requested by Servicon and consistent with the contract terms outlined in Exhibit A, and a request for an increase in expenditure authority plus a one-time appropriation of $49,739 to cover regular janitorial cleaning costs associated with a 2.5 percent Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment requested by Servicon and consistent with the contract terms outlined in Exhibit A, for a total contract increase of $160,743. With these adjustments, the proposed final contract year would total $2,248,280 inclusive of contingency.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, adequate funds will be available to the expenditure accounts specified in Exhibit A for a combined total of $2,248,280 from the General Fund (Fund 100), Citrus Facility Fund (Fund 130), Public Library Fund (Fund 309), Golden Valley Ranch Open Space Maintenance District (Fund 350), Areawide Fund (Fund 367), Hart Park Fund (Fund 140), Transit Fund (Fund 700), and Landscape Maintenance District Fund (Fund 357).
