BACKGROUND

In 2016, the City of Santa Clarita (City) formed a community facilities district designated “City of Santa Clarita Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 (Vista Canyon)” (the “Vista Canyon CFD”), for the approved Vista Canyon development located at the end of Lost Canyon Road near Sand Canyon (the “Development”). The Vista Canyon CFD covers only the apartment and commercial use parcels within the Development. In February 2020, the Vista Canyon CFD issued its first series of bonds (the “Bonds”) secured by special taxes within the Vista Canyon CFD to fund (i) the City-owned Cooper Street Parking Structure (the “Parking Structure”), with 84 dedicated spaces for the adjacent apartment complex and 529 public parking spaces, and (ii) a portion of the Vista Canyon Transit Center. The Vista Canyon CFD also contained a backup maintenance special tax on the apartments and commercial property if the Property Owner Association of the Development (the “POA”) failed to maintain the Parking Structure.

In October 2020, following final review by the City’s Public Works department, the City purchased the Parking Structure from the master developer of the Development for $15,000,000 using the proceeds of the Bonds pursuant to the Funding and Acquisition Agreement approved on April 12, 2016. Pursuant to the conditions for development, the original intent was for the POA to pay the cost of operating and maintaining the Parking Structure.

On October 21, 2020, the City entered into a Parking Management Services Agreement with the POA (the “Management Agreement”). In order to maintain the tax-exempt nature of the Bonds and have the Management Agreement be considered a “qualified management contract” under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules, tax counsel for the City’s bond counsel required the formation of a new community facilities district and the imposition of a services special tax to pay the Manager under the Management Agreement and other costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the Parking Structure. In accordance with the Management Agreement, on January 26, 2021, the “City of Santa Clarita Community Facilities District No. 2020-1 (Cooper Street Parking Structure)” (the “Maintenance CFD”) was formed for the purpose of funding the operation and maintenance of the Parking Structure.

Due to financial hardship, the POA has failed to adequately manage and maintain the Parking Structure. To ensure critical maintenance is performed consistently, the City recommends terminating the Management Agreement with the POA, resulting in the City assuming management. Benefits of the City’s management are lower annual maintenance costs, and in turn, lower annual special taxes for property owners. Estimated annual savings are approximately $160,000.

Failure of the POA to manage the Parking Structure means that a portion of the funding source for the maintenance of the Parking Structure will come from the backup maintenance special tax from the Vista Canyon CFD (subject to its maximum tax permitted as outlined in its approved Rate and Method of Apportionment) with the remaining source of funds from the Maintenance CFD.
1 Packet Pg. 11

To spread out the obligation of the current special taxes being assessed for maintenance, staff recommends the current sole POA parcel that is subject to the maintenance CFD special tax be removed, and three additional parcels owned by the developer be annexed into the Maintenance CFD. A petition, consent and waiver for such actions has been received by the applicable property owners. Under an Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment (Amended RMA), the three annexing parcels will be subject to the special tax based on the management budget for the Parking Structure less any amounts received from the backup maintenance special tax. The special tax will be levied annually by the City pursuant to the RMA and used to pay for the operation and maintenance of the Parking Structure.

On June 23, 2026, the Council adopted a resolution of intention to annex and consider the modifications to the Maintenance CFD. Scheduled for this meeting is a public hearing. Provided there is no majority protest, the annexation and changes will be the subject of an election. The landowners have waived election time lines, so an election may be held on this same evening to eliminate the POA parcel, annex three parcels, modify the rate and method, and authorize the levy of an annual special tax on the three parcels. Should the proposition pass with a two-thirds vote from the qualified voters, the City may adopt a resolution determining the validity of proceedings relating to the annexation and modifications to the Maintenance CFD and the Maintenance CFD may levy the annual special tax pursuant to the Amended RMA.

The resolution will also approve agreements relating to the transfer of operation and maintenance of the Parking Structure from the POA to the City, including the following:

Termination of Parking Management Services Agreement for Parking Structure 1 and Settlement Agreement: This document provides terms and conditions for the agreement termination which previously provided for the POA to manage, operate, and maintain the Parking Structure, and returns that responsibility to the City. The termination provides an accounting of funds to date and outlines settlement terms for delinquent special taxes. Total delinquent special taxes owed to the City, including penalties and interest as of July 1, 2026, is $1,514,380. As part of the settlement agreement, $976,320 of special taxes, penalties, and interest are proposed to be waived, resulting in a settlement owed to the City of $770,000. The $770,000 settlement will be paid in four equal installments the first of each month beginning August 1, 2026 and ending November 1, 2026. The settlement will fund operating and maintenance costs for FY 2026-27 and ensure the City has sufficient fund balance available July 1, 2027, to fund FY 2027-28 costs.

The future funding for the operation and maintenance of the Parking Structure will be from backup special taxes of the Vista Canyon CFD, the modified Maintenance CFD, and the easement owner of the 84 private spaces.

Amendment and Restatement to Easement Agreement for Parking Spaces: This document amends the agreement which provided for Vista Canyon Ranch to purchase from the City certain perpetual easements at the Parking Structure for the use of 84 parking spaces required for residential parking for adjacent multi-family uses at a purchase price equal to the construction cost of those 84 spaces. The Amendment reflects the transfer of operation and maintenance of the Parking Structure from the POA as manager to the City, but keeps intact the grant of a perpetual easement of the 84 private spaces to Vista Canyon Ranch and the responsibility of Vista Canyon Ranch to pay for the operation and maintenance of such spaces. The document will be executed by the City as grantor and Vista Canyon Ranch as grantee. 1 Packet Pg. 12

Termination of Easement Agreement for Solar Facilities and Community Identification Signage:

This document provides for the termination of the agreement in which the City granted to Vista Canyon Ranch certain easements at the Parking Structure allowing Vista Canyon Ranch to construct, operate, and maintain solar facilities on the Parking Structure. The agreement will be executed by the City and Vista Canyon Ranch and recorded with the County Recorder.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

All expenses associated with the above changes to the Maintenance CFD will be part of the budget for the Maintenance CFD. As a result of the City maintaining the parking structure, maintenance expenditures are anticipated to decrease by approximately $160,000 annually, which in turn reduces annual special taxes for property owners.

The $770,000 settlement for delinquent special taxes will fund operating and maintenance costs for FY 2026-27 and ensure the City has sufficient fund balance available July 1, 2027, to fund FY 2027-28 costs.

Upon approval of the recommended action, the total estimated $335,910 annual cost to operate and maintain the Cooper Street Parking Structure will be funded by: 1) the CFDs for the public share (529 parking spaces or 86 percent) via the Maintenance CFD special tax ($207,190) and the backup Vista Canyon CFD maintenance special tax ($106,033); and 2) Vista Canyon Ranch for its private share (84 parking spaces or 14 percent) of operations and maintenance ($22,687).

On January 26, 2021, an election was held within the District in which the eligible voters approved by more than two-thirds vote the proposition of levying a special tax within the District.

On February 9, 2021, the City Council, acting as the legislative body of the District, adopted Ordinance No. 21-02 relating to the District and authorizing the levy of the special tax for the Services (the “Special Tax”).

The City has received petitions to annex certain parcels to the District and modify the District by amending the rate and method of apportionment (the “Original RMA”) and removing the current parcel from the District.

The City Council hereby determines to institute proceedings for the annexation of certain parcels to the District and the modification of the District by amending the Original Rate and Method and removing the current parcel from the District, under the terms of the Act.

The exterior boundaries of the area to be annexed consisting of three parcels (“Annexation No. 1”) and the removal of the current parcel are specified and described on that certain map now on file in the office of the City Clerk entitled “Amended Boundary Map - Annexation Map No. 1 – City of Santa Clarita Community Facilities District No. 2020-1 (Cooper Street Parking Structure),” which map indicates by a boundary line the extent of the territory included in Annexation No. 1 and the removal of the current parcel, and following the election, shall govern for all details as to the extent of the District, including Annexation No. 1.

Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the City Council to levy annually, in perpetuity, in accordance with procedures contained in the Act, the Special Tax sufficient to finance the cost of providing the Services, the costs of administering the levy and collection of the Special Tax and all other costs of the levy of the Special Tax, including any

Packet Pg. 15
Attachment: Notice of Public Hearing (ANNEXATION AND MODIFICATION OF CFD NO. 2020-1 (COOPER STREET PARKING STRUCTURE))

foreclosure proceedings, legal, fiscal, and financial consultant fees, election costs, and all other administrative costs of the tax levy. The Special Tax will be secured by the recordation of a continuing lien against all taxable and nonexempt real property in the District, including Annexation No. 1.

Due to the proposed Annexation No. 1 and the removal of the current parcel within the District, the Original RMA and manner of collection of the Special Tax is proposed to be amended as described in detail and set forth in Exhibit “A” attached to the Resolution of Intention (the “Amended and Restated RMA”). The Amended and Restated RMA provides sufficient detail to allow each owner of nonexempt real property within the District, including the proposed Annexation No. 1, to estimate the maximum amount that such person will have to pay for the Services. The Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and as described in the Amended and Restated RMA and such Special Tax is not levied on or based upon the value or ownership of real property.

Upon recordation of an amended notice of special tax lien pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the Special Taxes shall attach to all nonexempt real property in the District, including Annexation No. 1, and that lien shall continue in force and effect until collection of the Special Taxes ceases.

Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, and except as provided in Section 53317.3 of the Act, properties of entities of the state, federal, and local governments shall be exempt from the levy of the Special Tax.

Each City officer who is responsible for the District, and the proposed Annexation No. 1, if annexed, is hereby directed to study the proposed Annexation No. 1 and the proposed modifications to the District and, at or before the time of the above-mentioned Hearing, file a report with the City Council, and which is to be made a part of the record of the Hearing, containing a brief description of the proposed Annexation No. 1 and the proposed modifications to the District and his or her estimate of the cost of providing the Services within the boundary of the District, including Annexation No. 1. The Director of Administrative Services is directed to estimate or cause the estimation of the fair and reasonable cost of all incidental expenses, including all costs associated with the Annexation No. 1 and the modifications to the District, determination of the amount of any Special Taxes, collection of any Special Taxes, or costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the City with respect to the District.

The City may accept advances of funds from any sources, including private persons or private entities, and is authorized and directed to use such funds for any authorized purpose, including any cost incurred by the City in the proposed Annexation to the District. The City may enter into an agreement to repay all of such funds as are not expended or committed for any authorized purpose at the time of the election on the levy of the Special Tax, if the proposal to levy such tax should fail, and at its option to repay any or all of such funds advanced if the levy of the Special Tax shall be approved by the qualified electors of the District.

The voting procedure for the annexation and modifications to the District shall be conducted by mailed or hand delivered ballot election as described in the Resolution of Intention.

AGENDA REPORT

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: ADJUST CONSOLIDATED FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

DEVELOPER FEES
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: Patrick Sprengel

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing.

2. Adopt a resolution to adjust the Consolidated Fire Protection District developer fee from $1.6710 per square foot to $1.7601 per square foot in accordance with the Developer Fee Agreement between the City of Santa Clarita and the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County.

BACKGROUND

In accordance with the City of Santa Clarita’s (City) agreement with Los Angeles County (County) to be part of the Consolidated Fire Protection District (Fire District), the City is required to adopt the attached updated Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan within a reasonable period. The fee is typically updated annually. The last Fire District developer fee increase became effective May 13, 2025.

Fire District developer fees finance the construction of new (and replacement) fire stations and related fire protection improvements within the City.

The proposed fee increases from $1.6710 per square foot to $1.7601 per square foot is consistent with the fee increase adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on March 24, 2026. The proposed fee adjustment is primarily a result of cumulative fire station development financing costs as well as increased fire apparatus and equipment costs. The Developer Fee rate is adjusted annually to account for inflation. The adjustment is based on the lesser of two percent 2 Packet Pg. 38

or the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) for construction, along with current equipment costs.

The Fire District developer fee is charged on new residential buildings, new detached residential accessory structures, new commercial buildings, and residential or commercial additions over 2,000 square feet. The fee is collected at the time of building permit issuance.

The increased fee amount will ensure the City’s Fire District developer fees are consistent with the fees collected by the County in the unincorporated areas of the Santa Clarita Valley and will satisfy the City’s agreement with the County.

Staff recommends conducting a public hearing and adopting a resolution to adjust the Consolidated Fire Protection District developer fee, which, if approved, will go into effect August 1, 2026.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the City as a result of this resolution. There are minor administrative costs for collecting and transmitting Fire District developer fees to the County.

These costs will not be affected by the fee adjustment.

March 24, 2026

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

On July 12, 1990, your Honorable Board adopted a resolution establishing a County of Los Angeles DFP for the District. The DFP was implemented August 1, 1990, to fund the acquisition, construction, improvement, and equipping of fire station facilities in the high-growth, urban-expansion areas of the District. The purpose of this program, as adopted by the Board, is to ensure these additional resources are made available to protect the lives of residents and maintain efficient fire protection and life-safety services in the Areas of Benefit where population is increasing based on urban expansion. The Developer Fee rate is adjusted annually to account for inflation. The adjustment is based on the lesser of two percent or the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) for construction, along with current equipment costs. Pursuant to Government Codes 66001 and 66002, the resolution instructs the District to conduct annual evaluations of the DFP and make appropriate recommendations to your Honorable Board.

Also, on September 4, 2007, your Honorable Board adopted a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the County of Los Angeles and the City of Calabasas wherein the parties agreed to exercise the power to levy the DFP in the City of Calabasas and the City Council authorized your Honorable Board to conduct all proceedings in connection with the levy of the fee, and any modifications of the fee amount, within the city boundaries.

Implementation of Strategic Plan Goals

Approval of the recommended actions is consistent with the County’s Strategic Plan:

• Focus Area Goal North Star 3, Strategies i: Customer Service: Support departmental efforts to improve customer service and to enhance efficiency and responsiveness to meet the needs of all residents.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING

The District is funded independently from the County’s General Fund and relies primarily on property tax revenue to provide essential fire protection and emergency medical services.

The DFP provides an additional revenue source to fund essential fire station facilities and equipment in the areas of urban growth. Increasing the fee rates in the unincorporated areas of the three Areas of Benefit and the City of Calabasas will enable the District to fund the development of new fire stations proportionate to the need necessitated by growth.

The DFP generates approximately $4.1 million in revenue annually and subject to change based on variability in the construction of homes and land acquisition in the Areas of Benefit.

These funds are deposited into the District’s Developer Fee Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund and can only be used to fund the development of new fire stations within specific geographic areas.

There is no impact to net County cost.

Fiscal Year The Fiscal Year period begins July 1 and ends June 30.

Initiating Priority Year Refers to the fiscal year that the land acquisition or construction of the fire station is anticipated to begin.

Target Occupancy Target occupancy is approximately one to two years from the actual start of construction.

Where actual costs are not yet available, the anticipated capital projects costs are based upon the District's current cost experienced for construction, land and equipment.

Developer Fee credit may be granted for the conveyance of a site, apparatus, or construction of a fire station to help offset the impact of development on the District.

Based on average costs for fire stations recently completed and stations under development; includes plans, specifications, consultant services, plan check, permit and inspection fees, construction, project management, furnishings, and equipment.

The amount budgeted could be from Developer Fee funds collected or advanced from District general revenues or certificates of participation. All advances made and/or interest incurred by the District to finance station development are to be repaid when Developer Fee revenues are sufficient. If no amount is budgeted, the development of the fire station may be delayed until Developer Fee revenues are sufficient to fund the site acquisition and/or construction of the fire station.

This plan reflects the proposed staffing and equipment to be implemented when each station and the development served by each station are built out in the respective areas of benefit. In many instances, a transitional staffing configuration will be utilized until build out occurs.

DEVELOPER FEE DETAILED FIRE STATION PLAN
This Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan (Plan) reflects the Consolidated Fire Protection District's (District) fire service requirements as of October 2025 based upon growth projections and contacts with cities and developers who have shared their development plans with the District.

The Plan identifies 6 completed fire stations, 18 proposed fire stations, 4 helispots, and the necessary capital equipment that will be required in the Areas of Benefit as well as the anticipated costs and time frames provided that development occurs as expected. The anticipated costs identified in the Plan will be funded by Developer Fee revenues and/or funds which the District has advanced from other sources. These advances will be repaid to the District when sufficient Developer Fee revenue is generated.

AGENDA REPORT

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: ARTS MASTER PLAN 2035: VISION AND ACTION
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
PRESENTER: Tracy Sullivan

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council receive report and adopt the Arts Master Plan 2035: Vision and Action.

BACKGROUND

The City Council adopted the City of Santa Clarita’s (City) first ten-year Arts Master Plan in March 2016 to establish a long-term vision for the community’s arts and cultural programs. Over the last decade, the plan has guided significant growth and development in the City’s arts and cultural offerings, including expanded arts programming, adoption of the City’s Civic Art Policy, and continued investment in Old Town Newhall as an Arts and Entertainment District.

To build on the success of the first Arts Master Plan, the City Council awarded a contract to Keen Independent Research on January 14, 2025, to develop the Arts Master Plan 2035: Vision and Action (Arts Master Plan 2035). Keen Independent Research was tasked with evaluating existing programs, conducting community outreach, and assisting staff in identifying new initiatives to guide the next ten years.

Planning Process and Community Engagement
The development of the Arts Master Plan 2035 included a comprehensive review of the City’s existing arts programs, policies, and priorities, along with community engagement to help identify future opportunities and areas of focus.

Throughout the planning process, more than 500 community members provided feedback via an in-person discovery meeting, stakeholder interviews and focus groups, a virtual workshop survey, visioning sessions with the City Council, Arts Commission, and City staff, as well as ongoing public feedback opportunities through a hotline and dedicated email. 3 Packet Pg. 60

The outreach process identified several strengths within the City’s arts ecosystem, including strong community support for arts and cultural programming, continued City investment in arts initiatives, and the success of Old Town Newhall as a recognized Arts and Entertainment District. Outreach also identified challenges, including limited arts funding, a need for additional arts spaces and venues, a desire for more geographically distributed programming, and opportunities to improve awareness of existing arts resources and programs.

Based on this outreach and research, the Arts Master Plan 2035 identifies 16 goals organized into the following five thematic categories:
• Cultivate the Arts Throughout Santa Clarita
• Facilitate Community Arts Efforts
• Support Artists and Arts Nonprofits
• Review Arts Governance, Policies, and Procedures
• Plan for Arts Venues, Spaces, and Resources

Arts Commission Review and Revisions

The Arts Master Plan 2035 was first presented to the Arts Commission on March 12, 2026.

Following its review, the Arts Commission recommended that the plan be adopted by the City Council.

The plan was brought before the City Council for consideration at the April 14 Regular Meeting.

At the meeting, the City Council directed staff to return the plan to the Arts Commission for additional public review and discussion prior to adoption.

The Arts Commission subsequently held a Study Session on May 21 to further review the plan and receive public input. At the Study Session, the Arts Commission proposed several revisions to improve clarity, incorporate community feedback, and assist with implementation.

Key revisions include adding recommendations to evaluate the City’s Arts Grant Program and funding levels, review prior arts-related plans and feasibility studies, expand Commissioner-led community outreach and engagement, and further specify potential future arts facility and venue opportunities.

The Arts Commission recommended adoption of the Arts Master Plan 2035, as revised, at its regular meeting on June 11.

The complete plan is available in the City Clerk’s Reading File. An Executive Summary outlining the plan’s goals and showing the Arts Commission’s revisions in tracked changes is attached to this agenda report.

Pending City Council approval, implementation of the Arts Master Plan 2035 will begin, with recommendations prioritized over time based on available resources and community needs.

SUBJECT: HISTORIC SAUGUS TRAIN STATION REROOFING PROJECT

FUNDING
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Tracy Sullivan

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the remittance of funds received by the City of Santa Clarita pursuant to Master Case 21-205 (Riverview Project), to the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society for reroofing of the historic Saugus Train Station, in an amount not to exceed $150,000 and any accrued interest.

2. Appropriate $150,000 and any accrued interest from the Site Improvements Facility Fee Fund 431 to Expenditure Account 4319000-516101.

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

BACKGROUND

On November 12, 2024, the City Council approved Master Case 21-205 (Riverview Project), including 318 residential units and 127,000 square feet of commercial space located at the former Saugus Speedway property. As part of the project’s approval, City Council Condition CC2 required the Developer to pay $150,000 for “the completion of the museum at the history center in the Pardee House located at Hart Park, or similar improvement.”

The Developer subsequently remitted the required payment in accordance with Condition CC2, and the funds were deposited into an interest-bearing account within the Site Improvements Facility Fee Fund.

6 Packet Pg. 84

The Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society (Historical Society) plans to operate public museums within both the Saugus Train Station and the Pardee House, located at William S. Hart Park.

The Historical Society shared that the Saugus Train Station reopened to the public as a museum in July 2025, with exhibits currently occupying a portion of the building, and that the most immediate need is replacement of the building’s aging roof. By comparison, the Pardee House museum is in an earlier stage of development and requires additional planning and design work before buildout can occur.

As a result of the Saugus Train Station’s more advanced stage in development and the immediate need for roof replacement, the Historical Society has requested that the funds received pursuant to Condition CC2 be used toward reroofing the Saugus Train Station. The Historical Society’s request letter is attached to this agenda report.

The proposed project includes removal and disposal of the existing roofing and installation of new underlayment and fire-resistant roofing materials to help preserve the historic structure and protect its contents.

Upon approval of the recommended action, the City Council would award $150,000 to the Historical Society for the reroofing project. The City of Santa Clarita would subsequently enter into a funding agreement with the Historical Society outlining the terms and conditions for use of the funds, with payment provided on a reimbursement basis upon completion of the work and submission of supporting documentation.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund. The funding needed to support the recommended actions was collected by the City as a condition of Master Case 21-205 and is available in the Site Improvements Facility Fee Fund Expenditure Account 4319000-516101.

Re: Historic Train Station Reroofing Project
Dear Mr. Striplin,
The Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society respectfully requests funding in the amount of $150,000 to reroof the historic Saugus Train Station in William S. Hart Park. Specifically, we are requesting that the $150,000 earmarked for the Historical Society’s Santa Clarita History Center in Master Case No. 21-205 be allocated to this Historic Train Station Reroofing project.

As you are aware, with City support, in 2018-2019, we reroofed all of the other historic structures in the Santa Clarita History Center with fireproof, 100-year steel-shingle roofing that mimics the appearance of the buildings’ original roofs. The roofing has been problem-free. We intend to use the same type of material and the same installer for the train station.

The train station currently has three roofs. The outer layer consists of composite shingles that blow off in high winds. We installed the third, 25/30-year composite roof in 1984 to cover two older roofs that leaked. At the time, the County code allowed three roofs. (It no longer does.) To our knowledge, the current City code allows only one roof.

The 1888 train station reopened to the public as a museum in July 2025 when the City took possession of Hart Park. It also serves as the headquarters of our archiving operations. During its period of closure, we restored the interior of the building to its historical appearance, insulated the building above and below, installed climate control systems for the first time, and added UV filtration on the windows to protect artifacts and improve the visitor experience. The installation of the new roofing will mark the completion of the first phase of the museum in the train station.

The relevant condition of approval in Master Case No. 21-205 required the permittee to pay $150,000 for the completion of the museum at the History Center in the Pardee House located at Hart Park, or similar improvement. At one time, the Pardee House Museum and the Saugus Train Station Museum were equal-priority projects. Funds being limited, and coming from a more advanced starting point, we opted to focus on the Saugus Train Station Museum first.

The Pardee House Museum project is a multi-year project with a preliminary budget far exceeding

6.a
Packet Pg. 86
Attachment: Historical Society Request Letter (APPROVAL OF FUNDING FOR SAUGUS TRAIN STATION RE-ROOFING PROJECT) $150,000. Over the past 2-3 years, we have applied for state and federal grant funding to cover the majority of the project budget (as recently as in this week’s state budget package), only to learn that the grant opportunities were subsequently withdrawn. We will continue to pursue state and federal funding if and when such opportunities arise in the future. In the meantime, as soon as the final structural repairs to the Pardee House have been completed (anticipated during the current calendar year), we will use existing resources to create temporary exhibits inside the building and open it to the public for the first time.

In contrast, reroofing the historic train station is a one-and-done project – once every 100 years. The requested funds would cover 94.3% of the estimated project cost; we will cover the remainder with existing funds. The estimate from our incumbent roofing installer is available to the City on request.

It reflects the entirety of the project including materials and installation, removal and disposal of the existing roofing, a new plywood underlayment, and related structural improvements.

If approved, we will immediately schedule the installation. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Al

Since 2009, the Santa Clarita Public Television Authority (SCPTA) has contracted with SCVTV to manage day-to-day operations of public television in the City Santa Clarita (City). SCVTV has been selected as the preferred contractor through both Request for Proposal solicitations and direct negotiations.

7 Packet Pg. 88

SCVTV is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides television, webcasting, podcasting, and new media services for the local public, nonprofit agencies, and government institutions. SCVTV provides 24/7 community programming to Santa Clarita Valley households via Charter Spectrum Communications channel 20, AT&T channel 99, SCVTV.com, and various internet and social media websites, such as YouTube and Facebook.

On May 28, 2024, SCPTA approved a two-year Public Television Management Services Agreement with SCVTV to continue operating Santa Clarita’s public television studio. The term of that agreement was July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026.

On June 24, 2026, the SCPTA Board approved the proposed two-year contract with SCVTV, subject to the approval and allocation of funds by the City Council.

Under the proposed agreement, SCVTV would be required to continue managing the City’s public television studio, inclusive of playback, programming, and production studio operations.

Further, SCVTV will be responsible for creating and airing original programming throughout the year that benefits the community, including, but not limited to:
• Communities Magazine and Event Coverage - Regularly produce “SCVTV’s Community Corner” or a similar program which supports the communication efforts of schools and civic agencies, and provide them with an opportunity to communicate directly with our residents about their services and needs.

DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
PRESENTER: Andrew Adams

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Award the purchase of 80 King Luminaire LED Conversion Kits for the Golden Valley Bridge to StressCrete Group in an amount not to exceed $113,701.

2. Authorize a one-time appropriation of $113,701 from the Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District Fund Balance (Fund 359) to expenditure account 3592403-516101 for the purchase of King Luminaire LED Conversion Kits to support the lighting replacement on the Golden Valley Bridge.

3. Authorize a one-time appropriation of $15,481 from the Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District fund balance (Fund 359) to expenditure account 3592403-516101 to support the installation of the LED conversion kits on the Golden Valley Bridge.

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

BACKGROUND

The Golden Valley Bridge over the Santa Clara River and Soledad Canyon Road opened in 2010. In 2021, the Fallen Warrior section of the bridge underwent an LED lighting retrofit. Since then, the remaining decorative bridge lights have also been converted to LED as fixtures required replacement. Despite these upgrades, the lighting system has continued to experience recurring outages requiring frequent maintenance and repairs.

8 Packet Pg. 91

City of Santa Clarita (City) staff conducted extensive troubleshooting and consulted with lighting industry experts to identify the cause of the recurring failures. Corrective actions have included installing additional surge protection, using lamps from an alternative manufacturer with revised wattage, and conducting regular inspections of wiring, lamps, and service pedestals. The evaluation determined that traffic-induced vibration and heat-related stress exceed the performance limitations of the existing screw-in LED retrofit design, particularly at the socket interface. Because these corrective measures have not resolved the issue, staff concluded that a more reliable, long-term lighting solution is necessary.

To identify a more durable solution, staff tested an LED conversion kit manufactured by King Luminaire, that utilizes a hardwired driver configuration rather than a screw-in base. The conversion kit demonstrated improved resistance to vibration and enhanced thermal performance under operating conditions. Based on the successful field evaluation, staff specified the King Luminaire conversion kit because it was determined to be the only product that met the City's compatibility, durability, and performance requirements. The solicitation was publicly advertised to allow competition among suppliers of the specified product.

The proposed LED conversion kits are designed to maintain the architectural character of the existing bridge lighting. Each kit includes a new LED lighting assembly, globe, and decorative cap, providing a complete restoration of the bridge’s decorative lighting system. Installation of the conversion kits will be completed under the City's existing Streetlight Maintenance Agreement with Taft Electric Company.

An Invitation to Bid was published and distributed through the City's electronic procurement system, BidNet, on May 20, 2026. The solicitation was transmitted to 769 vendors, of which 48 downloaded the bid documents. Five bids were received and publicly opened on June 9, 2026, as summarized below.

Company Location Bid Amount
Morgan Ingland LLC Morgan Hill, CA $ 48,472.62
Alvi Brothers LLC Huntington, NY $ 56,218.34
Pinion Group Laguna Beach, CA $ 109,185.71
StressCrete Group Jefferson, OH $ 113,701.00
Facilities Solutions Group Austin, TX $ 128,044.34

Morgan Ingland LLC and Alvi Brothers LLC were determined to be non-responsive for failing to provide required components of the bid specifications. Pinion Group was also determined to be non-responsive for submitting incorrect product specifications.

Staff reviewed the bid submitted by StressCrete Group for accuracy, completeness, and conformance with the contract documents and determined it to be responsive to the City's requirements. Accordingly, staff recommends awarding the purchase contract to StressCrete Group as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

The recommended action requires a one-time appropriation of $113,701 in the current fiscal year from Streetlight Maintenance District Fund Balance (Fund 359) to support the LED replacement on the Golden Valley Bridge.

The recommended action also requires approval of a one-time appropriation of $15,481 in the current fiscal year from Streetlight Maintenance District Fund Balance (Fund 359) to support the installation of the LED replacement lights on the Golden Valley Bridge.

There is no impact to the General Fund associated with these actions.

BACKGROUND
On October 7, 2025, the City Council held an Affordable Housing Study Session to discuss local housing needs, affordable housing funding opportunities, and the City of Santa Clarita’s (City) role in supporting affordable housing development. As part of the discussion, staff provided an overview of the City’s affordable housing inventory, funding sources available to support affordable housing, and the challenges associated with developing affordable housing projects.

City staff also discussed the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation of 10,031 housing units for the 6th Cycle (2021-2029), including more than 5,000 units designated for lower-income households. Additionally, staff noted that approximately 38 percent of Santa Clarita households are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs.
9 Packet Pg. 95

One funding source discussed during the study session was the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA). The Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency was established through Senate Bill (SB) 679 and is funded through Measure A, the voter-approved one-half cent countywide sales tax intended to support affordable housing solutions throughout Los Angeles County. Under SB 679, the City is designated as an Eligible Jurisdiction and receives an annual allocation of LACAHSA funding.

Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to continue advancing affordable housing initiatives, develop a grant program utilizing available affordable housing funding, and return with additional analysis regarding affordable housing policies and programs.

On January 27, 2026, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2025-26 LACAHSA budget, which included Technical Assistance funding to retain a professional consultant to develop an Affordable Housing Strategy Plan, Developer Grant Program, and related affordable housing initiatives.

The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals seeking qualified firms to assist with the development of an Affordable Housing Strategy Plan, creation of a Developer Grant Program, and technical assistance related to LACAHSA program implementation and compliance requirements. The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on April 8, 2026. The City transmitted the solicitation to 2,549 vendors on BidNet, of which 91 vendors downloaded the RFP. Four firms provided proposals for consideration. Evaluation criteria included the following:
• Demonstrated understanding of the Scope of Work (20%) • Considerable experience and expertise with affordable housing programs, including references (25%)
• Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, and ability to meet objectives and standards (25%)
• Qualifications, experience, and skills of the proposed personnel (15%) • Cost (15%)

The scoring results are shown below:

In addition to evaluating written proposals, staff conducted interviews with the two highest- scoring firms: HR&A Advisors, Inc. (HR&A), and Deeper Roots Consulting Services. The interviews provided an opportunity for the firms to further discuss their project approach, in coordination with staff. Due to the close scoring among the top-ranked firms, staff also reached 9 Packet Pg. 96

Based on the quality of HR&A’s proposal, qualifications, relevant project experience, and interview performance, staff recommends HR&A as the firm most qualified to complete the development of an Affordable Housing Strategy Plan, creation of a Developer Grant Program, and related technical assistance services. Additionally, HR&A demonstrated the strongest understanding of LACAHSA’s funding requirements, as they developed LACAHSA’s Expenditure Plan, the foundational document that allocates over $380 million annually across Los Angeles County, and the financing tools that are incorporated as part of LACAHSA’s organizational framework offered to eligible jurisdictions.

Staff recommends awarding the contract to HR&A for a total contract not to exceed $129,200.

Upon completion of the consultant's work, recommendations regarding the Affordable Housing Strategy, Developer Grant Program, and any associated funding programs will be presented to the City Council for consideration in Spring 2027.

SUBJECT: OPERATION OF TRANSIT SERVICES IN THE UNINCORPORATED SANTA CLARITA VALLEY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2028-29 AGREEMENT
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
PRESENTER: Adrian Aguilar

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council approve an agreement with the County of Los Angeles for the City of Santa Clarita to provide public transportation services in unincorporated areas, beginning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement, or modify the award in the event that issues of impossibility of performance arise, subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND
Since 1991, the City of Santa Clarita (City) has assumed responsibility from the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works (County) for public transportation services in the Santa Clarita Valley (Valley). In return, the County reimburses the City for transportation services operated in the Valley's unincorporated areas. Based on the current level of public transportation service provided, the County reimburses the City as follows:

• 14.78 percent of local bus service costs
• 22.97 percent of commuter express bus service costs
• 11.95 percent of paratransit (Dial-a-Ride) service costs • Bus procurements shared by the County using above allocations • 15 percent administrative overhead fee

These percentages have remained consistent over the years, and are being proposed in the next agreement that will cover Fiscal Year 2026-27 to Fiscal Year 2028-29. City staff works closely with the County to ensure that the level of public transportation services meets the needs of County residents, and that the City is properly compensated for the services provided in the unincorporated areas of the Valley.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: MANUFACTURING AND DELIVERY OF TWO CNG BUSES

CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
PRESENTER: Adrian Aguilar

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the “piggyback” purchase of two 29-foot Compressed Natural Gas buses using California Association of Coordinated Transportation contract number 23-01, and award a contract to Gillig Corporation for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,882,000.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, and modify the awardees in the event of project withdrawal or abandonment, subject to City Attorney review.

BACKGROUND
Santa Clarita Transit has a fleet replacement program that meets the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) 12-year life cycle for commuter and transit vehicles and seven-year life cycle for Dial-A-Ride vehicles. Two of the City of Santa Clarita's (City) local buses have reached the end of their useful life and are scheduled to be replaced.

The City's local transit fleet is composed of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and hydrogen fuel cell buses. This purchase will allow the City to continue to improve fleet reliability, reduce emissions within the region, and improve the overall fuel economy of the City’s bus fleet. The buses proposed for purchase will also have new technology, such as improved suspension and ultraviolet air purifiers, that will improve the customer experience. The recommended action also aligns with the City’s capital replacement strategy, which calls for the replacement of approximately one-twelfth of the transit fleet each fiscal year.

After conducting extensive research to find the most competitive pricing and the highest quality 11 Packet Pg. 101

vehicles, staff recommends using the City’s “piggyback” purchasing option for this procurement.

The use of “piggyback” purchasing allows the City to place orders against a competitively awarded public agency contract. The City intends to purchase these vehicles through the California Association of Coordinated Transportation (CalACT) vehicle purchasing cooperative, of which the City is a member. This contract, which was awarded on July 25, 2024, was solicited through a competitive bid process and is valid through July 24, 2029.

As an added measure, City staff conducted a price analysis to ensure the proposed pricing is within industry standards and is the most advantageous to the City. The use of purchasing cooperatives is common within the transit industry and is a practice accepted by the FTA.

Upon approval by the City Council, the City will be able to replace two aging buses that have reached the end of their useful life and take advantage of recent developments in engine technology by replacing older, less-efficient vehicles. This purchase is also consistent with the City’s Zero Emissions Transition Plan, which calls for the purchase of CNG buses through 2028.

Based on current production timelines, delivery of these buses is anticipated in late 2028.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Adequate funds to implement the recommended action are contained within the City of Santa Clarita's adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget, expenditure account 7003702-520103 (Transit Capital/Automotive Equipment). The City has programmed Federal Transit Authority Section 5307 grant funds to cover 80 percent of the total and Municipal Operator Service Improvement Programs funding for the remaining 20 percent.

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) provides routine street sweeping services to maintain clean streets, enhance community appearance, and reduce pollutants entering the storm drain system and the Santa Clara River. Street sweeping is a key component of the City’s stormwater compliance program and is essential to maintaining compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements.

12 Packet Pg. 103

The City’s previous street sweeping contractor, Clean Site Services (dba Clean Sweep), submitted a Notice of Termination consistent with the terms of the contract and officially ended their services on June 30, 2026. In an effort to ensure continuity of service with minimal interruption, staff initiated a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process for Citywide Street Sweeping utilizing the City’s procurement system.

The selected contractor will provide routine sweeping of approximately 1,004 curb miles within the incorporated limits of the City. This includes all public residential streets, major streets and arterials, industrial areas, alleys, and 43 miles of bike trails. In addition, the contractor is responsible for sweeping approximately 2.9 million square feet of City-owned parking lots. The stated number of curb miles may increase over the course of the contract as new streets are accepted into the City's maintenance system or through future annexations.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) PROCESS

The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system BidNet on May 13, 2026. The City transmitted the solicitation to 454 vendors on BidNet, of which 24 vendors downloaded the RFP. A total of four companies provided proposals for consideration.

To ensure service reliability, accountability, and environmental compliance, the RFP incorporated updated requirements, including newer regenerative air sweepers, equipment compliant with Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Rule 1186.1, GPS and brush- operation monitoring, backup sweepers available within four hours of notice, prevailing wage compliance, and a performance bond.

The proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company’s overall approach to meeting and maintaining a high level of service at a reasonable cost. An evaluation panel of staff from the Neighborhood Services Department scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:

• Team Composition: Contractor and staff qualifications, number of staff (5 points) • Schedule: Use and mobilization of resources, timeline to service all areas (10 points) • Acknowledgment and Successful Understanding of Scope of Work: Proposed method, operational approach, pro-activeness, and responsiveness (30 points) • References (5 points)
• Cost of Services Provided (30 points)
• Value: Cost in relation to manpower (20 points)

The following shows the results of the rankings by the evaluation panel based on a 100-point scale:

12 Packet Pg. 104

RANK COMPANY LOCATION SCORE
1 CMAX Commercial Maintenance Inc. Ontario, CA 94
2 Sweeping Corporation of America, LLC Oxnard, CA 91
3 Manta Sweeping LLC dba Cleaner Streets San Diego, CA 82 4 Isaac Romero dba Clean Sweep Santa Clarita, CA 20

The two highest scoring proposers received similar overall scores and provided similar cost proposals for services. Consistent with the RFP, the City elected to conduct interviews to further evaluate proposers. Accordingly, staff invited the two top-ranked proposers for interviews. The interviews consisted of a standardized set of questions focused on each proposer's staffing, fleet management, customer service, and contract value. The interview had a maximum score of 10 points toward the final evaluation score. The interviews were scored as follows:

RANK COMPANY SCORE
1 CMAX Commercial Maintenance Inc. 8

2 Sweeping Corporation of America, LLC 6

In addition, the two proposers were asked to provide a best and final cost proposal. After receiving the revised pricing from both CMAX Commercial Maintenance Inc. (CMAX) and Sweeping Corporation of America (SCA) and interviewing both companies, the scores were recalculated to include additional interview points and are as follows:

RANK COMPANY LOCATION SCORE AMOUNT
1 CMAX Commercial Maintenance Inc. Ontario, CA 102 $ 1,247,285 2 Sweeping Corporation of America, LLC Oxnard, CA 97 $ 1,403,954

Following the interviews, additional cost considerations, and overall value of services, the evaluation team recommended awarding the contract for citywide street sweeping services to CMAX as the highest ranked proposer. Key strengths of CMAX's proposal include:

• Comprehensive operational and transition plan.
• Well-defined staffing and supervisory structure.
• Modern AQMD-compliant fleet with backup equipment.
• Strong customer service and communication procedures. • Competitive pricing while maintaining high technical quality. • Demonstrated municipal experience.

Staff recommends awarding an agreement for a period of two years, with up to three optional 12 Packet Pg. 105

one-year renewals which may be adjusted annually according to the Consumer Price Index. In addition, staff is requesting a contingency of 10 percent of the contract value for unanticipated required services, for a contract amount of $1,372,014 per year.

IRREVOCABLE OFFER OF DEDICATION OF REAL PROPERTY
(AIDLIN HILLS DEVELOPMENT) OF 147 +/- ACRES IN

UNINCORPORATED LOS ANGELES COUNTY
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Susan Nelson

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the amended Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (IOD) with Lennar Homes of California, LLC, including the acceptance of approximately 147 +/- acres, in a form reviewed by the City Attorney and substantially similar to the draft attached as Exhibit A.

2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney review.

3. Find this acquisition exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article 19, Section 15313 (Class 13); Section 15317 (Class 17); and Section 15325 (Class 25).

BACKGROUND

On December 13, 2022, City Council approved an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (IOD) to accept the dedication of 149+/- acres of open space from Lennar Homes of California, LLC (Lennar). The document was subsequently recorded on February 1, 2023, by the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office. The open space land offer of dedication is part of Lennar’s Aidlin Hills project located at the west end of Pico Canyon Road, outside of the City of Santa Clarita (City) limits, within the Open Space Acquisition Boundary.

In April 2026, Lennar contacted City staff regarding the need to revise the executed IOD; specifically, to amend the open space dedication boundaries. The needed open space dedication 13 Packet Pg. 111

boundary adjustment addresses changes to the wildfire fuel modification zones and grading limits. The updated legal description of the open space land eliminates areas requiring wildfire fuel modification and manufactured slopes, with ownership being retained by Lennar and ultimately the homeowners’ association. The proposed revisions result in a reduction of 2+/- acres of open space land being dedicated to the City, resulting in 147+/- acres of open space being offered. An additional revision included allows the City permanent rights to cross land owned by Lennar and, ultimately, the homeowners’ association for purposes of ingress and egress to the City’s dedicated open space.

The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article 19, Section 15313 (Class 13); Section 15317 (Class 17); and Section 15325 (Class 25). A Class 13 exemption consists of the acquisition of lands for fish and wildlife conservation purposes. A Class 17 exemption consists of the acceptance of easements or fee interests in order to maintain the open space character of the area. A Class 25 exemption consists of transferring ownership of interests in land to preserve open space, habitat, or historical resources

The amended offer of dedication continues to enhance the City’s efforts to preserve open space and provide outdoor recreational opportunities for residents.

BACKGROUND

Haskell Canyon Open Space, consisting of 526 acres, was acquired by the City of Santa Clarita (City) in June 2011. In August 2022, Blue Cloud Open Space, consisting of 196 acres, was acquired, which abuts the eastern boundary of Haskell Canyon Open Space. The area, totaling over 720 acres, is adjacent to the United States Forest, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), residential properties, and commercial studios. On June 24, 2025, City Council awarded the construction contract for the Haskell Canyon Bike Park. Construction of the Haskell Canyon Bike Park was recently completed.

Phase I of the Haskell Canyon Open Space Shared Access Improvements project includes improvements to the existing Haskell Canyon Access Road located within the LADWP Transmission Line Right-of-Way, as shown on the attached Location Map. This roadway provides access to the Santa Clarita Archery Range and Haskell Canyon Bike Park.

Improvements include re-grading and re-compacting the existing roadway, placing asphalt concrete pavement, and installing speed cushions, roadway signage, and pavement markings.

These improvements will provide a smoother and more durable surface for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, reduce dust generated from roadway use, and enhance overall safety and accessibility for users accessing the City's recreational facilities.

Phase II of the Haskell Canyon Open Space Shared Access Improvements project includes the design and construction of two Arizona crossings at Haskell Creek, north of Copper Hill Drive, consistent with LADWP requirements. An Arizona crossing is a low-water crossing that provides access across a drainage channel during normal conditions while allowing storm flows to safely pass over the crossing during rain events. Crossing I is located between the main canyon road and the Santa Clarita Archery Range and Crossing II is located between the main canyon road and the Haskell Canyon Bike Park, as shown on the attached Location Map. This agenda item considers awarding a professional services contract for the design of Phase II, which includes a design survey, hydraulic analysis, design of the two Arizona crossings, and project- related meetings and coordination services necessary to support future permitting and construction. Construction of Phase II will be presented to City Council for consideration of award at a future date. This project supports the Community Connections theme of the City’s strategic plan, Santa Clarita Pathway Forward.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements were completed when the Haskell Canyon Bike Park Project’s Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Errata dated June 17, 2025 (2025 IS/MND), were approved and adopted by the Santa Clarita City Council at its regular meeting on June 24, 2025.

A Notice of Completion was filed with the State Clearinghouse on May 12, 2025 (SCH #2025050436). In addition to the 2025 IS/MND, a 2025 IS/MND Addendum was recently completed. The 2025 IS/MND and 2025 IS/MND Addendum are available in the City Clerk’s Reading File.

The 2025 IS/MND Addendum (Addendum) evaluated the addition of asphalt concrete paving from Copper Hill Drive along the Haskell Canyon access road to the Santa Clarita Archery Range, and Haskell Canyon Bike Park and the construction of two Arizona crossings across Haskell Creek (Revised Project), which were not included in the original project. The Addendum 14 Packet Pg. 115

concluded there is substantial evidence to determine that:

(1) the Revised Project does not represent a substantial change from the previously approved project evaluated in the 2025 IS/MND;

(2) no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Revised Project is undertaken; and

(3) the Revised Project has not introduced new information of substantial importance that was not previously known.

The Revised Project would not have any new or substantially more severe impacts than what was evaluated in the 2025 IS/MND. No new mitigation measures are recommended in addition to those adopted at the time the 2025 IS/MND was approved that would further reduce project impacts. The 2025 IS/MND, when considered in conjunction with this Addendum, provides adequate documentation, pursuant to CEQA for the Approved and Revised Projects.

Phase I Construction
An invitation to bid was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on May 13, 2026. The City transmitted the solicitation to 2,105 vendors on BidNet, of which 45 vendors downloaded materials. A total of three bids were submitted and opened on June 11, 2026.

Phase II Design Services
Psomas was previously awarded an as-needed professional services contract on June 2, 2025, following a competitive RFP process conducted by the City to establish a qualified list of firms capable of providing civil engineering design services for various Capital Improvement Projects.

The as-needed procurement process was intended to provide the City with access to qualified engineering consultants to support project-specific needs, including civil engineering, design, and related services.

Utilizing the established as-needed procurement process, staff requested a proposal from Psomas for the Phase II design services associated with the Haskell Canyon Open Space Shared Access Improvements project. Psomas was selected to perform the work based on their qualifications, availability to meet project schedules, and demonstrated experience with similar Arizona 14 Packet Pg. 116

crossing design projects.

Staff recommends awarding a professional services contract for design to Psomas for Phase II of the Haskell Canyon Open Space Shared Access Improvements project in an amount not to exceed $73,700. 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 Psomas at a fair and reasonable price.

The requested contingencies will cover the cost of unforeseen design constraints, design modifications requested by the City, LADWP, or other permitting agencies, field investigations, including potholing for utility locations and foundations, soils investigations, and coordination with utility companies and other agencies. The requested contingencies also include potential adjustments and change orders to the work requested from LADWP and the City.

The requested appropriations in the amount of $1,560,000 represent approximately $1,157,479 for Phase I construction, $73,700 for Phase II Arizona crossing design, and $328,821 for project administrative costs. Project administrative costs include staff time, project management, public works inspections, environmental coordination and support, labor compliance and environmental monitoring, permitting, and mitigation.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the recommended actions, a total of $1,560,000 will be available in the Haskell Canyon Open Space Shared Access Improvements project expenditure account M4016723- 516101 (Facilities Fund) to support the recommended contract and associated project costs.

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

BACKGROUND

The Pioneer Oil Refinery (Site) is a historic, inactive oil refinery located on the corner of Needham Ranch Parkway and Pioneer Way in the City of Santa Clarita (City). Built in 1876 by California Star Oil Works, a predecessor of Standard Oil Company and later Chevron, the refinery operated until 1888. The Site has received several significant historic designations. In 1935, it was designated a California State Historical Landmark as the first commercial oil refinery in California. In 1975, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers recognized the Site as the first successful oil refinery in California. In December 2020, the Pioneer Oil Refinery 15 Packet Pg. 119

was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Chevron donated the property to the City in 1997, and the Pioneer Oil Refinery Master Plan was approved in 2013. The Master Plan was developed to transform the Site into an educational public park where visitors of all ages can learn about the oil refining process of the late 1800s.

The plan includes trails, open space, interpretive features, and other park amenities. The Site contains several historic structures, including two buildings (the Pump House and Shed); seven metal tanks (Acid Tank, Wash Tank, two Rundown Tanks, Residuum Tank, Water Tank, and Oil Tank); and a set of stills consisting of two brick and metal stills, two chimneys, and a network of metal condenser pipes. As part of Phase 1, the Master Plan was updated, and the park was constructed and opened to the public in 2025.

In March 2026, a Request for Qualifications (RFQual) was published via the City’s e- procurement system, BidNet, inviting interested firms to submit their qualifications for Phase 2 of the project. Phase 2 includes the design and construction of the rehabilitation, reinstallation, and repair of the historic structures and equipment on the Site. The RFQual was distributed to 4,748 vendors, of which 63 downloaded the materials. The City received one submission and determined that the design-build firm, Spectra Company (Spectra), was qualified to undertake this project.

After finalizing the scope of work, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) inviting the pre- qualified firm to submit their proposal for the project. The City received Spectra’s proposal, which was evaluated by a panel of City staff to ensure that the firm has a strong project management approach, qualified staff, and relevant experience on similar projects.

The following criteria were used to evaluate the proposal:
• Project Management and Schedule of Work
• Staff Composition
• Experience on similar projects and experience working with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and other public agencies
• Cost Proposal

Following the evaluation process, Spectra received the score as outlined below.

COMPANY LOCATION SCORE
Spectra Company Pomona, CA 94.3

Spectra demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs and provided a detailed scope of work and a comprehensive project management approach. Their team brings diverse backgrounds and decades of experience working on restoring historic structures and sites. Staff recommends awarding the design-build contract to Spectra Company for a total contract amount of $1,285,159. A 15 percent contingency is being requested to cover additional design and/or build needs for the historic structures, additional amenities identified for the park site, and any necessary modifications required during the project.

Upon approval of the recommended actions, the City Council will appropriate $1,574,000 for 15 Packet Pg. 120

this project. The project budget will support $1,477,933 for design and construction, including contingency, and $96,067 for historic consultant services, a park monument sign, an electric vehicle charging station, and project administrative costs, including inspections, permits, and fees, and labor compliance monitoring.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

The requested appropriations of $1,340,000 in Developer Fee Fund (Fund 306) and $234,000 in Facilities Fund (Fund 723) will create a total project budget of $1,574,000 in Pioneer Oil Refinery Expenditure Accounts P2018306-516101 and P2018723-516101, collectively. This amount will adequately provide $1,477,933 for award of the design-build contract, including contingency and $96,067 for historic consultant services, a monument sign, an electric vehicle charging station, and additional administrative costs.
