AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/23/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT: Evaluation of City Advisory Bodies (CM)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to:
1) Direct staff to identify funding for and select a consultant from the City’s existing On-Call Business Consulting Services list and proceed with awarding a contract to conduct the evaluation of City advisory bodies and develop recommendations for City Council consideration; and 2) Authorize and direct the City Manager to execute an agreement in a form to be approved by the City Attorney. The Assistant City Manager is authorized to execute contract amendments within the approved project budget.
BACKGROUND: On December 9, 2025, members of the City Council (Council) brought forward a proposal for full Council consideration requesting an evaluation of the City’s system of advisory bodies, commissions, standing committees, and Council ad hoc committees. The City utilizes numerous advisory bodies and committees to support community engagement, policy development, and informal decision-making.
These advisory structures play an important role in participatory governance by bringing subject matter expertise, community perspectives, and stakeholder input into the policymaking process.
Over time, the City’s advisory body structure has expanded under varying regulatory frameworks and policy priorities. As a result, the system now includes numerous commissions, advisory bodies, and Council committees with differing responsibilities, membership structures, and reporting relationships.
The December report identified several challenges associated with the current structure, including overlapping scopes of work among advisory bodies, inconsistent alignment with the City’s Strategic Plan and policy priorities, and the significant staff time required to support meetings and administrative requirements across numerous bodies.
DISCUSSION: The City currently supports a wide range of advisory bodies, commissions, standing committees, and Council ad hoc committees that help inform policy decisions and
8.1 strengthen community engagement. These groups provide an important forum for residents, subject matter experts, and stakeholders to contribute input on issues ranging from land use and public safety to environmental sustainability and economic development.
While these advisory bodies remain an essential component of the City’s governance structure, the system has evolved over many years in response to different policy priorities and community needs. As a result, the current structure includes numerous committees with varying scopes, reporting structures, and operational practices. This complexity can create challenges for both staff and Councilmembers in coordinating work across multiple bodies and ensuring that advisory input aligns with the City’s strategic priorities.
The need to assess the City’s advisory bodies to identify any gaps or opportunities is supported by staff experience and Council discussion, including overlapping scopes of work among some advisory bodies, inconsistent reporting relationships between committees and Council, and significant staff time required to support meeting administration, agenda preparation, and compliance with open meeting requirements. In some cases, advisory bodies were created to address specific issues or policy initiatives that may have evolved over time, resulting in uncertainty regarding their current role or scope.
Recognizing this, Council directed staff in December 2025 to develop a recommended approach for evaluating the City’s advisory body structure and identifying opportunities to improve alignment, efficiency, and clarity in the City’s governance framework.
Advisory Body Study Approach
The proposed evaluation would begin with a comprehensive inventory of all advisory bodies, commissions, standing committees, and Council ad hoc committees. This inventory would document each body’s authorizing ordinance or resolution, scope of responsibilities, membership requirements, reporting relationships, meeting frequency, and level of staff report. Establishing this baseline will help identify areas where responsibilities overlap, where missions may no longer reflect current priorities, and where structural improvements may be beneficial.
The evaluation would also include a review of governance practices used by other California cities that have recently undertaken similar advisory body reviews to better align advisory bodies with current governance needs.
In addition to this comparative research, the evaluation would include stakeholder engagement to gather input from current advisory body members, Councilmembers, and staff who support advisory bodies. These perspectives will help identify strengths in the current system and opportunities to improve clarity, effectiveness, and accessibility.
Using this information, the evaluation will apply a consistent set of criteria to assess each advisory body. Potential evaluation criteria may include alignment with Council priorities and the Strategic Plan, clarity of purpose and scope, level of community participation, advisory body reflection of community, value of policy recommendations to Council decision-making, and the administrative resources required to support the body.
Based on the evaluation of findings, the consultant will develop options for Council consideration. These options may include consolidating advisory bodies with overlapping responsibilities, clarifying the relationship between Council committees and community advisory
8.2 bodies, establishing clearer criteria for when to stand up commissions, committees, or ad hoc committees, and improving consistency in membership structures, recruitment strategies, or meeting practices.
Staff recommend utilizing a consultant from the City’s existing On-Call Business Consulting Services list to conduct the evaluation. This will allow staff to select a firm with relevant expertise in organizational assessment. The consultant would work closely with staff to conduct the analysis, facilitate stakeholder engagement, and develop recommendations. The evaluation is anticipated to take approximately six to nine months to complete. At the conclusion of the process, staff will present findings and potential options to Council for further direction.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed Council action to direct staff to work with a consultant to evaluate City advisory bodies is not a “project” under CEQA. (Public Resources Code § 21065; 14 CCR § 15378(b) – “Project does not include . . . (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.”) HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This effort supports the City’s HiAP framework by strengthening equitable civic participation, transparency, and inclusive decision-making.
Advisory bodies and commissions provide important opportunities for community members to contribute to policy discussions that shape community health and well-being. Evaluating and streamlining the City’s advisory body system can help ensure these opportunities remain accessible, clearly structured, and align with current priorities, while supporting broader and more representative community participation in the City’s governance process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: If Council approves the recommended approach, staff will proceed with selecting a consultant from the City’s existing On-Call Business Consulting Services contracts to conduct the evaluation and will identify existing appropriations or return to Council to request additional appropriations to utilize for this purpose. Based on preliminary estimates, the cost of this work is anticipated to range between $25,000 to $120,000, depending on the scope of stakeholder engagement and level of analysis requested. If the work goes above $100,000, staff will return to Council for consideration of approval.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT: Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Santa Cruz Police Department 2025 Joint Annual Report (CM)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to receive the Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Santa Cruz Police Department 2025 Joint Annual Report and provide direction as necessary.
BACKGROUND: The Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women (CPVAW) implementing Ordinance No. 81-29 requires CPVAW and the Police Chief to submit an annual report to the City Council reporting on their efforts as well as the City of Santa Cruz Police Department’s (SCPD) efforts to carry out the purpose of the ordinance (Section 5.(d).1 and Section 6.(e)). CPVAW appointed Chair Madura, and Commissioners Feinman and Knobel to an ad-hoc committee to prepare the 2025 CPVAW Annual Report.
DISCUSSION: In years past, CPVAW has opted to submit an annual report in conjunction with the Chief of Police’s report. For 2025, the ad hoc committee has submitted a joint annual report for the City Council to consider. The 2025 report reflects a transition in data reporting as the SCPD and other agencies continue to align their reporting practices.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed Council action is not a “project” under CEQA because it does not have the potential to cause a physical change in the environment directly or indirectly.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): Of the three HiAP pillars (1) equity, (2) public health and (3) sustainability, CPVAW projects primarily address public health, which includes health and wellness, a safe and just community, lifelong learning, and education. The information included in this joint report demonstrates the coordinated efforts between CPVAW and the SCPD in serving all residents of the City of Santa Cruz.

9.2 The 2025 Annual Report & Joint Report on Sexual
Assault Presented by the Commission for the
Prevention of Violence Against Women & The Santa
Cruz Police Department
To be Approved on April 14, 2026
9.3 Dear Mayor Keeley and Esteemed Council Members,
On behalf of the Santa Cruz City Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women (CPVAW) and the Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD), we are pleased to present the 2025 Joint Annual Report on Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence. This report represents a collaboration between CPVAW and the SCPD, aimed at addressing sexual assault and domestic violence against women in our community.
Purpose and Impact
We are confident that this report serves as a resource for community education and the activation of initiatives to reinforce safety measures and prevent violence against women.
Through our unified endeavors, CPVAW and the SCPD are steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding the well-being of our residents and nurturing a secure environment for all.
Progress and Challenges
This report outlines work we have done in the previous calendar year, our successes, and our remaining challenges as we strive to meet the goals of the ordinance.
The Commission would like to acknowledge the critical support of a half-time staff position provided by Council budget approval. This greatly enhanced our ability to organize educational and service events, including our productive work in the convening of Community Based Organizations to discuss strengths and challenges in serving the community.
Our challenges are primarily in the realm of continuous work to evaluate the patterns of gendered violence in our community and the best practices in meeting the needs of the community in response. The loss of significant national funding for community-based organizations has reshaped some of our approaches to supporting community and is articulated below.
Ongoing Initiatives
SCPD remains committed to conducting thorough, timely, and professional investigations, and ensuring justice for survivors. CPVAW will persist in collaborating with educational and
9.4 preventative programs, fostering awareness and prevention. Both entities will closely collaborate to measure the efficacy of our efforts.
We sincerely thank you for your unwavering support in our shared endeavor to create a safer environment for all members of our community. CPVAW and the SCPD stand committed to nurturing a culture of safety and support, enriching the lives of each resident we serve. Our commitment to delivering the highest level of service remains unwavering. Together, we strive to eliminate sexual assault and domestic violence through collaboration, community engagement, and effective solutions.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of CPVAW and the SCPD,
Karen Madura Bernie Escalante

CPVAW SCPD Joint Annual Report 2025 Page 1
MISSION
To collaborate with local stakeholder partners and law enforcement to ensure best practices to respond to and prosecute violent crimes against women.
VISION
To end sexual assault, sexual harassment, and domestic violence in the City of Santa Cruz through prevention, programs, and public policy.
ABOUT CPVAW
The Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women was first established by City Ordinance No. 81-29 on September 8, 1981. The purpose of the ordinance “is to implement educational programs that would aid in the prevention of sexual assault and domestic violence against women in the City of Santa Cruz. A further purpose is to implement policies and programs which will ensure adequate services for women who have been raped or battered.”
The Commission is comprised of seven city resident volunteers who are appointed by the Santa Cruz City Council. CPVAW schedules six meetings per year, occurring on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm. We encourage community members and city government to attend CPVAW meetings. We hope to foster an open dialogue with our community to share information and concerns, and to work together to develop policies and programs that further our mission.
The Commission’s primary goals are to raise awareness of the impact of violence against women, support prevention initiatives, and promote healthy, non-violent relationships. We meet regularly with representatives from the Santa Cruz Police Department to review data and statistical patterns of violence against women, and support training strategies for first responders and law enforcement. We
9.6 ____________________________________________________________________________ 2025 CPVAW SCPD Joint Annual Report Page 2 receive an annual report on the SCPD training of officers responding to calls of violence against women.
We collaborate with community-based organizations and agencies to develop coordinated responses to violence against women and share and strategize on the meaning of our data. In addition, we seek to engage and empower community members to prevent violence through education, support, and resources.
The Commission also has several specific goals and priorities that have been identified, including developing prevention programs for youth, working to increase the availability and accessibility of services for survivors, improving data collection and reporting on violence against women, and addressing the intersections of violence with issues such as racism and poverty. Overall, CPVAW is committed to creating a safe and supportive community for all women, free from violence and oppression.
9.7 ____________________________________________________________________________ 2025 CPVAW SCPD Joint Annual Report Page 3
ANNUAL REPORT AND JOINT REPORT
The Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women (CPVAW) is required to submit a report annually to the City Council providing detailed information about City, Commission, community, and police efforts to carry out the purpose of the ordinance. The report includes our recommendations for the City to resource and act on the fulfillment of the ordinance. Additionally, the Chief of Police is required to submit an annual report to the City Council documenting police efforts to carry out the purpose of this ordinance. Due to the collaborative relationship CPVAW has with the City of Santa Cruz Police Department, we present one report to the City Council today to satisfy both of our 2025 reporting requirements.
The CPVAW/SCPD Annual Report serves several important purposes. The first is to be accountable to the Santa Cruz City Council in our work towards our mandate by summarizing our efforts and findings; elaborating on both the challenges and successes therein. The second is to provide the community with a profile of what the Commission is doing in relation to its mandate, and to share our understanding of the annualized pattern of sexual assault and domestic violence, to identify local trends and key findings.
This report is intended to be used to tailor educational outreach, define opportunities for our community to reduce sexual assault, focus support on the community-based organizations that form the front-line response to sexual violence, and identify ways for the Santa Cruz Police Department to remain up to date on the best practices when working with victims, and when conducting investigations.
As with all advisory bodies that have existed for 44+ years, the issues our Commission and the Police Department are facing today have shifted as solutions have been implemented and as demographics, culture, and technology have changed. The primary objective of this 2025 Joint Annual Report is to provide an understanding of the scope of the sexual assault problem within the City of Santa Cruz, as we understand it in 2025, and the activities performed by CPVAW in 2025 to prevent sexual assaults in the future. Note, all data provided in this report is for the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Cruz Police Department. Cases that happen on the University of California, Santa Cruz campus, or outside of city limits, are not within jurisdiction and therefore not included in this report.

women. CPVAW invited a roundtable gathering of
organizational leaders in the field of prevention and
response to violence against women. This first
convening was effective in offering service providers an opportunity to share what they are doing in the field, where the gaps are, where they could share best practices, and how they might be supported by each other and the Commission. Following the 2025 CBO Roundtable, the participants indicated interest in convening annually.

Data Share project
A Commissioner from the CPVAW Police Committee sits on the CBO/City/County Data as Prevention Group, which has been exploring ways to share data and strategies across organizations and agencies to better inform the broader community and refine our individual and collective responses to violence against women.
CPVAW allocated $2800 for the launch + $500 website fee to initiate support for this project. Currently, CPVAW is re-evaluating the role for this in context of a potential integration with the countywide Data Share website, which could streamline the process and provide a one stop for evaluating community trends for multiple jurisdictions.
9.16 ____________________________________________________________________________ 2025 CPVAW SCPD Joint Annual Report Page 12 Ongoing CPVAW initiated projects
In August 2025, 300 drug-testing coasters and 36 posters were distributed across nine Santa Cruz establishments, expanding the program’s visibility and outreach efforts. The drug-testing coasters are designed to test for the “date rape drugs” Rohypnol and Ketamine. There are posters to display in bars to alert patrons to the coasters, to encourage consent, to encourage bystander intervention, and also to direct City residents to resources for help if they need it for themselves or others. These posters help to keep domestic and sexual violence on people’s minds to ideally deter would-be offenders.
CVPAW Empowerment Education Ad hoc Committee worked with Santa Cruz City Schools in the 2024/2025 school year and allocated $11,195 for Santa Cruz City Schools Vector Solutions training for a Student Safety & Wellness Program. In the fall of 2025, the ad hoc committee started working on a selfdefense free voucher program ($2,000) for city residents and on a self-defense program to be implemented at Santa Cruz City Schools ($13,000).
CPVAW is now tracking cases of human trafficking in the SCPD statistical rape and domestic violence reports. However, due to the nature of these cases, the number of police cases is not representative of the true scope of the problem in our community. As long as there are people struggling to meet their basic needs (shelter, food, safety) in our community, there will be a trafficker ready to exploit a vulnerable person. Trafficking is an intergenerational trauma - a large majority of current sex traffickers experienced sexual violence themselves, so public health best practices need to be used to break the cycle. In 2025, CPVAW heard from speakers with lived experience in human trafficking from Rising International and several attended Monterey County’s Human Trafficking Symposium. Several of our commissioners shadowed Rising Safe and Sound trainings conducted by Rising Worldwide in high school classrooms. We look forward to supporting Rising's work in the future and continuing to bring to light how people fall into trafficking scenarios, what to be aware of, and how to potentially get out. To quote a trafficking survivor, “abuse thrives in secrecy,” but the antidote is healthy relationships, where all parties feel safe, seen, respected and valued.

STATISTICAL DATA FOR THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ
In 2025, the Santa Cruz Police Department transitioned from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Summary Reporting System (SRS) to UCR California Incident-Based Reporting System (CIBRS)/National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). UCR NIBRS is now the FBI’s national statistical guideline, capturing a higher standard of data reporting, better informing both the public and agencies on crime in general. A few key benefits of this transition away from UCR SRS includes the removal of the hierarchy rule, which only counted the highest offense in each incident, whereas UCR CIBRS/NIBRS counts up to 10 offenses per incident and reports on more offense categories. UCR CIBRS/NIBRS captures detailed and meaningful information on victims, relationships between victims and offenders, property, arrestees, attempted versus completed crimes, and known offenders. This information provides greater insight into incidents holistically.
Below is a table showing the expanded categories inUCR CIBRS/NIBRS compared toUCRSRS (Source: SCPD):
One of the primaryadvantagesofUCR CIBRS/NIBRS overUCRSRS is itsabilityto providegreaterdetail andcontextaboutcrime incidents. Bycapturinginformation onmultipleoffenses within a single incident and including data on victim characteristics and relationships between victims and offenders, UCR CIBRS/NIBRS offers insights into the dynamicsof criminal activity that arenot availablethrough UCR SRS. This level of detail allows law enforcement agencies, policymakers, and researchers to better understand the nature and extent of crime in their communities, identify emerging trends, andtailor prevention and intervention strategies accordingly.
Moreover,UCR CIBRS/NIBRS facilitates moreaccurate and standardized reporting practicesby using a broader and more detailed set of data elements. This
9.18 ____________________________________________________________________________ 2025 CPVAW SCPD Joint Annual Report Page 14 standardized approach reduces inconsistencies in reporting among different agencies and ensures that crime data are comparable and reliable across jurisdictions.
While both the UCR SRS and UCR CIBRS/NIBRS aim to provide valuable insights into crime trends and statistics, UCR CIBRS/NIBRS offers a more comprehensive and detailed approach to crime reporting. By adopting a broader definition of rape and collecting more detailed information about each incident, UCR CIBRS/NIBRS provides a more accurate representation of the prevalence and nature of sexual assaults and other crimes. With the FBI's recent commitment to transitioning to UCR CIBRS/NIBRS reportingnationwide,lawenforcement agencies and policymakers will haveaccessto richer and morereliable crimedatato inform their effortsto enhance publicsafetyandaddresscriminal justice issues.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES FOR THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ
From 2008 to 2020, domestic violence battery cases (PC 273.5/243e1) fluctuated but generally trended upward, reaching peak levels between 2014 and 2019, with the highest point in 2019 (339 cases).
Beginning in 2021, there is a sharp and sustained decline, dropping from 328 cases in 2020 to 218 in 2021, and continuing downward through 2024 before a slight increase in 2025 (208 cases). Overall, the data show a significant reduction in reported domestic violence battery cases in the post-2020 period compared to the prior decade, though levels remain substantial. Datafor 2025 is preliminary and is subject to change.

9.21 ____________________________________________________________________________ 2025 CPVAW SCPD Joint Annual Report Page 17 CITY OF SANTA CRUZ NIBRS SA 2025 RELATIONSHIP STATUS
NIBRS Sexual Assault 2025 data includes data on the relationship status between the victim and the offender. This data has been available to CPVAW in our early years and is now reinstated, as required by CPVAW, for review. Rape cases most commonly involved a victim who had a known relationship with the offender (13 cases), with far fewer involving strangers (2) or unknown relationships (1). In contrast, fondling cases most frequently involved strangers (11 cases), with smaller numbers involving known relationships (3) or unknown status (2). Sexual assault with an object was rare overall, with only one case involving a stranger and none involving known or unknown relationships. Overall, the data suggest that rape incidents in 2025 were more likely to involve known offenders, while fondling cases were more commonly committed by strangers.
*Victim was Acquaintance, Client, Ex-Girlfriend, Friend, Girlfriend, Otherwise Known, Wife of Offender Source: NIBRS SA 2025
Data Summary:
• From 2010–2025, Rape (PC 261/262) consistently represents the highest-volume sexual assault offense, peaking in 2014 and then declining but remaining variable, with an increase again in 2025 (preliminary).
• Fondling (PC 288/287) shows the most notable recent change, with a sharp rise in 2024 and 2025 after generally lower levels in prior years. This is due to the consolidation of PCs (243.4+288+647.5) under NIBRS
• Assault to Commit (PC 220) remains relatively stable over time. • Sodomy (PC 286) fluctuates with occasional spike years rather than a sustained trend. • Stalking (PC 646.9), tracked beginning in 2016, reflects moderate but persistent activity.
Overall, the data shows that while some categories remain steady, recent increases in certain offenses—particularly fondling—suggest shifting patterns that may warrant focused attention.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does CPVAW do?
• Advises the City Council on making policy around violence against women and people of marginalized groups (From CPVAW Bylaws Article III.1: Develop and present to the City Council, in the form of recommendations, a comprehensive plan for the prevention of rape and domestic violence in the City of Santa Cruz)
• Supports organizations in the area that provide direct services to women and families (From CPVAW Bylaws Article II: To ensure collaboration with other public and private agencies to support existing programs and support the development of new programs as needed) • Supports and participates in organizations that work for equity and equality for people of marginalized groups like women, children, the LGBTQ+ community (From CPVAW Bylaws Article II: To ensure collaboration with other public and private agencies to support existing programs and support the development of new programs as needed) • Provides an open forum for citizens to ask questions and get information related to violence against people of marginalized groups (From CPVAW Bylaws Article II: To facilitate meaningful citizen participation in the work of the Commission)
• Supports organizations that provide prevention strategies like trainings on consent and selfimage (From CPVAW Bylaws Article II: To ensure collaboration with other public and private agencies to support existing programs and support the development of new programs as needed) • Receives crime data from the SCPD to gauge incidence of violence against women and ask questions to better understand how to advocate for safety for all people (From CPVAW Bylaws Article II: To continue to work with law enforcement to develop strategies for the successful prosecution and conviction of the crimes of violence against women; From CPVAW Bylaws Article III.5: Call upon members of the Police Department to present information necessary to carry out the Commission’s duties)
• Distributes date rape drug testing coasters to and hangs posters at local bars and restaurants (From CPVAW Bylaws Article III.3: Cooperate with other public and private agencies in seeking ways to carry out the purpose of Ordinance 81-29)
9.23 ____________________________________________________________________________ 2025 CPVAW SCPD Joint Annual Report Page 19 • Promotes awareness of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Denim Day, and Domestic Violence Awareness Month (From CPVAW Bylaws Article III.3: Cooperate with other public and private agencies in seeking ways to carry out the purpose of Ordinance 81-29) What is CPVAW doing to address the frequency of stranger rape in our community? Stranger rape is defined by the Department of Justice as "A classification of the victim's relationship to the offender for crimes involving direct contact between the two. Incidents are classified as involving strangers if the victim identifies the offender as a stranger, did not see or recognize the offender, or knew the offender only by sight."
By a formal request at the November 6, 2025 CPVAW Police Committee meeting, the SCPD will update 2025 data reporting to CPVAW to include the category of stranger rape. With this data we will be able to do effective comparative study and determine where best to put our resources and attention. This update to include “stranger rape” data will persist through the coming years.
Why doesn’t CPVAW have a "heat map" (map of sites where violence occurred) of incidents of sexual violence in the city?
CPVAW doesn’t have a heat map because part of the balance with data sharing is to avoid causing more and unintended harm to folks by coming close to revealing identities of survivor/victims, or alleged perpetrators. CPVAW works closely with SCPD to mitigate against harm while getting the most accurate information possible. In addition, although SCPD collects "incident location" data, this does not always correspond to the initiation of the crime. For example, a drink may be spiked in a bar, but the actual incident occurs in a hotel room or home. The "incident location" would reflect the actual incident, not the initiation and provide us with less meaningful or actionable data.
Why does CPVAW no longer have street banners for Domestic Violence Awareness Month and others?
The Parks and Recreation Department determined that CPVAW street banners no longer fit their plan for the city’s banners. Economic Development local business promotion is the priority now. CPVAW continues to put up special month banners at City Hall including Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April and Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October.
9.24 ____________________________________________________________________________ 2025 CPVAW SCPD Joint Annual Report Page 20 Why does CPVAW no longer read redacted police reports on incidents of sexual violence? In the early years of the Commission, the Police Committee read redacted police reports and then summarized their findings with a data evaluation company. CPVAW learned that the Police Committee was required to meet publicly as a standing committee of the Commission and thus the reports would become public knowledge. For similar reasoning as above regarding heat maps, CPVAW strives to avoid doing anything that compromises the privacy of parties to an allegation of assault. In consultation with the City Attorney, CPVAW accepts the use of aggregate data devoid of identifying characteristics from the SCPD. CPVAW continues to work diligently with the SCPD and the SCPD Victim Advocate Office to ensure best practices of addressing crime victims.
What community-based organizations does CPVAW collaborate with? In 2025:
1. Monarch Services – counseling, 24/7 mobile response, prevention training, emergency housing, legal assistance
2. The Diversity Center programs – parades, workshops, support groups, equity training for schools and businesses
3. Walnut Avenue Family and Women’s Center – 24/7 response, provides childcare for families in transition, support groups, legal assistance, counseling, domestic violence education and prevention trainings
4. Santa Cruz City Schools – CPVAW is working on in-person self-defense classes provided by KidPower which includes extensive outreach to the teachers and school administrators, a needs assessment, coordination with the teachers, the workshops themselves, and follow-up support.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: City Council
SUBJECT: Report on the City’s Operating Principles and Leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Enhanced City Government Services (CN) LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to:
1) Recognize the attached Administrative Procedure Order (APO) I-82.4, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Appropriate Use Policy, which governs the use of artificial intelligence systems by City employees and City Council; and
2) Direct staff to:
1. Conduct an annual review and update of the I-82.4 AI Appropriate Use Policy, ensuring that governance structures, internal policies, and industry standards evolve in a measured and risk-aware manner;
2. Maintain and regularly update the City’s published AI Transparency webpage to ensure public access to current information regarding AI tools in use; and
3. Continue exploring practical AI applications while assessing organizational readiness, with a focus on staff training and development, infrastructure planning, and budget alignment to support responsible adoption.
BACKGROUND: As cities face increasing demands for more efficient services and responsive governance, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly enhance the delivery of City services, optimize operations, and create new opportunities for innovation. AI technologies can help streamline processes, improve data-driven decision-making, and support workload in ways that allow staff to focus on priority efforts. In fact, it is estimated that roughly 250 city jurisdictions worldwide have adopted AI. In the United States a 2023 survey by Bloomberg Cities indicated that 69% of cities were exploring or testing generative AI technologies, with only 2% having deployed them.
DISCUSSION: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into municipal operations offers a strategic opportunity to enhance public service delivery while upholding the City of Santa Cruz’s
10.1 commitment to innovation, equity, and transparency. When implemented responsibly, AI can provide three primary benefits: (1) streamlining City services through automation and improved responsiveness; (2) enhancing operational efficiency by supporting data-driven decision-making and optimizing internal workflows; and (3) improving the overall resident experience by making government more accessible, timely, and user-friendly. To realize these benefits, it is essential to approach AI adoption with clear ethical standards, robust community engagement, and targeted investments in staff training and infrastructure. The following outlines several potential applications of AI across City departments that illustrate the value and relevance of this emerging technology in local government.
Potential Applications of AI in City Government:
Streamlining City Services
AI can help automate permitting, licensing, and customer service, reducing wait times and improving resident experience. Tools such as chatbots, guided workflows, and intelligent document processing allow staff to focus on complex issues while improving the resident experience.
Smarter Infrastructure & Public Works
By analyzing data from sensors, cameras, and public reports, AI can identify road and park maintenance needs, optimize trash collection routes, and adjust traffic signals dynamically. This enables more efficient use of City resources, reduces fuel consumption, and improves safety and livability.
Emergency Response & Public Safety
Predictive analytics and real-time data can enhance fire risk modeling, dispatching, and emergency medical services. AI-powered systems support faster response, greater resiliency, and improved community safety.
Utility Management
AI can detect leaks in water systems, forecast demand, and support flood prediction, allowing staff to more quickly address issues as they arise, reduce costs, and strengthen environmental stewardship.
Improving Government Efficiency
AI tools can automate routine administrative tasks (e.g., meeting transcription, report generation, translation), provide staff with internal chatbots for quick answers, and analyze community feedback to guide policy and communication. This boosts productivity and creates capacity for more strategic work.
Considerations:
While AI presents significant opportunities, there are several considerations that must be addressed to ensure responsible and effective implementation:
• Privacy and Data Security: Ensuring the security of resident data is critical. The City must adopt strict guidelines on how data is collected, stored, and used, especially for AI applications that rely on personal data.
10.2 • Funding and Resources: Many local governments, including ours, face budget constraints. Securing funding for AI projects may require seeking public-private partnerships, grants, or philanthropic support.
• Equity and Access: It's essential to ensure that AI tools are accessible to all residents, particularly those in underserved communities. Efforts should be made to address the digital divide and ensure that AI services do not exacerbate existing inequalities. • Staff Adoption: Providing comprehensive training will be key to successful integration.
Adoption will include addressing employee observations and concerns as they arise and updating the AI APO as needs change and AI systems evolve. • Climate and Sustainability: AI adoption carries environmental impacts, particularly the high energy demands of large-scale cloud computing, which should be carefully weighed against the City’s climate action goals.
• Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Align AI use with emerging state and federal regulations, ensuring that policies, procurement, and operations remain compliant with evolving legal requirements.
Community Engagement:
To successfully adopt AI, it is important to foster a culture of transparency, trust, and ethical practices:
• Community Engagement: Engaging with residents through forums or surveys will help assess their concerns and expectations about AI. Ensuring transparency in how AI is used will be vital for public trust.
• Ethical Standards: Developing clear ethical standards for the use of AI will help ensure that technology is deployed in a manner that is fair, transparent, and accountable.
Closing:
AI has the potential to significantly enhance the way we deliver services to our residents and improve the efficiency of City operations. By strategically adopting AI technologies, we can modernize government functions, increase operational efficiency, and create a more responsive, data-driven government. However, successful implementation will require careful planning, public engagement, and attention to ethical considerations.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This is not a project under CEQA.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance city government services aligns with the three pillars of Health in All Policies—health, sustainability, and equity. Health is supported by AI's potential to optimize City responses such as emergency response times, improving public safety and health outcomes. Sustainability is addressed in multiple forms such as through AI-driven waste management optimization, traffic management, and infrastructure maintenance, reducing the environmental footprint by enhancing efficiency
10.3 and conserving resources. Equity is addressed by emphasizing the need for inclusive engagement and addressing the digital divide to ensure that AI benefits all residents, particularly underserved communities. Through careful planning and community involvement, the City's approach to AI adoption seeks to enhance service delivery while safeguarding privacy, promoting fairness, and ensuring that all residents have access to the benefits of technology.

DEFINITIONS
Artificial Intelligence (AI):
The City defines “artificial intelligence” or “AI” to be a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems use machine and human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.
10.5 City of Santa Cruz
Administrative Procedure Order
Section I, #82.1 - 82.11
The City defines an “AI system or technologies” to be any data system, software, hardware, application, tool, or utility that operates in whole or in part using AI.
Generative AI Tools
A category of AI tools designed to generate new content, data, or outputs based on patterns and information learned from existing examples. Generative AI tools are computer programs capable of many activities, including but not limited to completing general administrative office tasks, data analysis, programming, and image creation. While these tools can improve productivity, it is crucial to use them responsibly to comply with various laws, maintain data privacy and security, and uphold City values.
AI-Powered Search
A category of advanced search technology that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance traditional search engine functionalities, such as those found in platforms like Google and Bing. AI-powered search leverages techniques like machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and deep learning.
POLICY
Guiding Principles
Staff should be open to responsibly incorporating AI tools into their work where it can be beneficial for making services better, more just, and more efficient. Each employee is responsible for using AI tools in a manner that ensures the security of sensitive information and aligns with City policies. Specific guiding principles include:
a. Data Privacy and Security: Comply with all data privacy and security standards such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), or any sensitive data in AI prompts.
b. Treat AI prompts as if they were publicly visible online to anyone. Treat AI prompts, data inputs, and outputs as if they are subject to the Freedom of Information Act and Public Records Act.
Privacy is preserved in all AI systems by safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, and manipulation. c. Informed Consent: Members of the public should be informed when they are interacting with an AI tool and have an “opt out” alternative to using AI tools available. d. Responsible Use: AI tools and systems should be used ethically and always include human oversight to ensure accountability and proper decision-making. e. Continuous Learning: Employees using AI tools are encouraged to educate themselves on effective and appropriate AI usage for their work.
f. Avoiding Bias: AI tools can create biased outputs. When using AI tools, develop AI usage practices that minimize bias and regularly review outputs to ensure fairness and accuracy, as you do for all content.
g. Equity: AI systems should support equitable outcomes for everyone. Bias in AI systems is effectively managed with the intention of reducing harm for anyone impacted by its use. h. Decision Making: Do not use AI tools to make impactful decisions. Be conscientious about how AI tools are used to inform decision making processes.
i. Accuracy: AI tools can generate inaccurate and false information. Take time to review and verify AI-generated content to ensure quality, accuracy, and compliance with City guidelines and policies.
10.6 City of Santa Cruz
Administrative Procedure Order
Section I, #82.1 - 82.11
j. Transparency: The use of AI systems should be explainable to those who use and are affected by their use. The purpose and use of AI systems is proactively communicated and disclosed to the public to ensure transparency. When using this rapidly evolving technology, indicate when AI tools contributed substantially to the development of a work product. Use good judgement when considering citing use of AI tools. For example, when working with regulatory, legal, or life critical subjects, citations will be appropriate. When attributing AI usage in a work product, indicate the product and version used. Some example citations include:
i. Whole Document Example: [Artificial Intelligence contributed to the development of this document using Google Bard, 2023, in compliance with the City of Santa Cruz Appropriate Use Policy.]
ii. Specific Citation Example: OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT (Mar 14 version) [Large language model]
iii. In text Example for specific information: (OpenAI, 2023) k. Accountability: Employees are solely responsible for ensuring the quality, accuracy, and regulatory compliance of all AI generated content utilized in the scope of employment. The City will regularly monitor and evaluate approved AI products to ensure they meet security and risk management criteria. Roles and responsibilities govern the deployment and maintenance of AI systems, and human oversight ensures adherence to relevant laws and regulations. l. Security & Safety: AI systems maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability through safeguards that prevent unauthorized access and use. Implementation of AI systems is reliable and safe, and minimizes risks to individuals, society, and the environment.
Prohibited Use of AI systems
a. Unauthorized Access: Do not use AI tools to access data or systems you are not authorized to use.
Examples of systems that might be deemed unauthorized are AI systems that:
i. utilize facial recognition,
ii. make automated decisions without human oversight,
iii. attempt to make emotional recognition,
iv. provide social services decision-making,
v. create hyper-realistic images, videos or audio that are indistinguishable from reality, or
vi. perform automated image alteration without disclosure. b. Unlawful Activities: AI tools must not be used for any illegal, harmful, or malicious activities.
This includes activities that perpetuate unlawful bias, automate unlawful discrimination, and produce other harmful outcomes.
c. Employment Decisions: Do not use AI to make consequential decisions regarding hiring, benefits, discipline, or other sensitive matters in which bias could play a role, without additional verification and human oversight. Information gathered from AI, including but not limited to insight on an employee’s work performance and behavior, shall not be used in any disciplinary decisions without additional verification and human oversight. d. Sensitive Data: Do not enter internal, sensitive, or restricted data into any AI tool or service (e.g.
PII, PHI, HIPAA, IRS, CJIS). No AI tool currently meets the City’s security, privacy, and compliance standards for handling anything besides public data. However, in the event internal, sensitive, or restricted data may be utilized by an AI system, notice will be provided to all affected individuals within a reasonable time and manner. e. Automated decisions: Do not use AI Tools to make fully automated decisions that do not require any meaningful human oversight but substantially impact individuals. AI should not be utilized as
10.7 City of Santa Cruz
Administrative Procedure Order
Section I, #82.1 - 82.11
a sole means to prepare individualized personnel documents, including but not limited to, disciplinary documents and performance evaluations.
f. Social scoring: Do not use AI tools to track and classify individuals based on their behaviors, socioeconomic status, or personal characteristics.
g. Behavioral manipulation: AI tools must not be used as a cognitive manipulation tool of people or specific vulnerable groups.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/19/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Finance
SUBJECT: Workforce Housing Affordability Act of 2025 Financial Oversight Committee (FN)
Location: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to appoint Finance Director Elizabeth Cabell, Carrie Birkhofer, CEO of Bay Federal Credit Union, and Elaine Johnson, NAACP, Housing Santa Cruz County Executive Director, to serve on the Financial Oversight Committee.
BACKGROUND: At the November 4, 2025 election, a majority of voters in the City of Santa Cruz approved Measure C, The Workforce Housing Affordability Act of 2025 (Act) amending the municipal code to add the collection of a parcel tax and a transfer tax to fund affordable housing for local workers, seniors, veterans, and persons with disabilities, and to reduce/prevent homelessness.
DISCUSSION: Per Measure C, the City will establish a three-member Financial Oversight Committee which shall be comprised of:
The Director of Finance
The Chief Executive Officer of a local bank, credit union or other local financial institution appointed by City Council
A public member selected by the Finance Director and CEO Once the committee is established, they will ensure that expenditures of the tax proceeds of the Act are in accordance with the terms of the Act. They will file an annual report with City Council that shows the amount of tax collected and expended and the status of any projects funded with the tax proceeds.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed Council action is not a “project” under CEQA because it does not have the potential to cause a physical change in the environment directly or indirectly. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065.)
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): HiAP is a collaborative framework designed to improve population health by integrating health considerations into decision-making processes across sectors and policy areas. HiAP is built on three core pillars: equity, public health, and
12.1 sustainability. Its primary goal is to ensure that policymakers fully consider the health, equity, and sustainability impacts of various policy options during development. The proposed action aligns with HiAP principles by supporting investment in a range of affordable housing initiatives serving our City’s lower income and vulnerable populations, providing them with higher levels of self-sufficiency; increased social, economic, and occupational mobility; connection to others; and promoting public health and equity.

12.2 City Council
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/1/2026
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
SUBJECT: Amending the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations (HR) LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt a resolution amending City Personnel Rule 5.6:
Class of Appointments to Modify the Definition of Limited-Term Appointments.
BACKGROUND: One-time projects, such as capital improvement projects and major technology system implementation often require additional staff on limited term basis. For example, project NATE began in Fiscal Year 2025 with the goal to replace the City’s twentyyear enterprise resource system which supports both the personnel and financial processes for the City. To support the implementation of this project, the City allocated limited-term positions to support the one-time project. The City’s Personnel Rules Section 5.6: Class of Appointments currently defines Limited Term as:
“Limited Term: appointment to an authorized position budgeted for a period of thirtynine (39) weeks or more, but less than fifty-two (52) weeks. Employees appointed on this basis shall be included in the classified service of other City and shall receive benefits in accordance with their appropriate Memorandum of Understanding.” The NATE project, including initial development and post-go live implementation support, requires a longer term than currently allowed by the City’s Personnel Rules. As a general standard, two-years is the typical limited-term time frame as that encourages candidates to apply to limited-term opportunities.
DISCUSSION: To ensure continued pre-go-live and post-go live of the new ERP system and the ability to support future one-time projects while maintaining operations, City Human Resources proposes to change amend Personnel Rule 5.6 as follows:
5.6: Class of Appointments
Employment status in the City shall be divided into the following categories:
1. Regular
1. Full-time: appointment to an authorized position budgeted on a full-time, 40 hours-a-week basis (or a full-time schedule equivalent). Employees
13.1 appointed on this basis shall be included in the classified service of City employment and shall receive all rights and benefits outlined in the personnel policy documents and appropriate memoranda of understanding.
2. Part-time: appointment to an authorized position budgeted and regularly scheduled for 20 hours or more per week (or a half-time or more schedule equivalent), but for less than 40 hours per week (or a full-time schedule equivalent). Employees appointed on this basis shall be included in the classified service of the City and shall receive benefits in accordance with their appropriate Memorandum of Understanding.
3. Limited Term: appointment to an authorized position budgeted for a period of thirty-nine (39) weeks or more, but less than one hundred and four (104) weeks. In limited circumstances, extensions beyond the initial duration may be approved, not to exceed a total of five (5) years, subject to administrative review and approval and the annual budget adoption by the City Council. Employees appointed on this basis shall be included in the classified service of other the City and shall receive benefits in accordance with their appropriate Memorandum of Understanding.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: Not applicable.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): Amending Personnel Rule 5.6 to extend the duration of limited-term appointments supports the HiAP pillar of equity and the City’s ability to maintain adequate staffing for critical projects and service delivery. The ability to hire limited-term employees during periods of high project demand helps reduce workload strain among regular full-time and part-time staff, promoting employee well-being and organizational sustainability.
Stable and appropriately structured staffing contributes to continuity of public services that impact community health, safety, and quality of life. By enabling the City to recruit and retain qualified employees for longer-term projects, this amendment supports a resilient workforce and advances the City’s goal of a thriving organization.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: No fiscal impact at this time. Future fiscal impacts would be provided as Department Personnel Listings which are modified at mid-year and annual budget cycles.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: 212 Locust Street/117 Union Street Roofing Restoration Project – Notice of Completion (PW)
LOCATION: District 4
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to accept the work of Weather Proofing Technologies (WTI) DBA Tremco (Beachwood, OH) as completed per plans and specifications, authorizing the filing of a Notice of Completion for the Locust/Union Roofing Restoration Project (c701907) and authorizing the Public Works Director to sign the Notice of Completion as the Owner’s Authorized Agent.
BACKGROUND: In 2008, the City of Santa Cruz (City) purchased the building located at 212 Locust Street/117 Union Street. The building is occupied by the Water Department and Library Headquarters. The City has made significant building improvements including upgrades to obtain LEED accreditation, which included installation of a photovoltaic system and specialized roofing materials on the flat roof to control heat. During the last 17 years, Public Works Facilities staff have patched the roof in many locations to deter leaks. A roof inspection conducted in July 2025 identified significant repairs needed.
Costs related to the repairs and maintenance for the building are split between the Library (60%) and the Water Department (40%) based on the square footage occupied. On September 4, 2025, the Library Joint Powers Authority Board approved a budget adjustment in the amount of $158,400 to fund the Library’s portion of the base-bid cost of the restoration work. Additional funds for their portion of any contingency work were available in the Library’s existing FY 2026 budget.
At its September 11, 2025 meeting, City Council approved the following: the issuance of a purchase order for $289,547 under the existing agreement with Waterproofing Technologies Inc, an exemption from local employment requirements in Santa Cruz Municipal Code 3.10, Local Hiring – Public Works Contractors, and the CEQA recommendation. Resolution No. NS-30,559 was adopted to amend the FY 2026 budget in the amount of $116,000 from the Water Enterprise Fund 711 for Capital Investment Program (CIP) Facility and Infrastructure Improvements project (c701907).
14.1 DISCUSSION: All services required under the contract have been completed, inspected by City Public Works Facilities Supervisor, and the WTI-DBA-Tremco Roofing field inspector. The roof restoration was found to be in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
Although the exemption was granted, the contractor made a good-faith effort to meet the requirements of the City’s Local Hire Ordinance and to employ apprentices on the project including advertising at Laborers Local 270 and Operating Engineers unions.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This project was found to be exempt from CEQA under California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 15301 – Class 1 categorical exemption because Council approved this project for the restoration or rehabilitation of a deteriorated structure to meet current health and safety (14 CCR § 15301(d)). This project restored the deteriorated roof of a public office building. Furthermore, none of the applicable exclusion to the use of a categorical exemption under CCR 15300.2 – Exemptions, applied to this work.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This project aligned with the Sustainability pillar of the City’s HiAP initiative by restoring a degraded roof with durable and long-lasting materials that will provide insulation and energy efficiency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The final cost of all work under this contract was $263,224. The project was funded through the Water Department’s FY 2026 Facility & Infrastructure Improvements project (c701907), and Library Department capital outlay. There is no impact to the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Award Contract for Outside Repair Services to City Assets (TEC Equipment) – Budget Adjustment (PW)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to:
1) Authorize a contract with TEC Equipment, Inc. (Los Angeles, CA) in the amount of $195,000 for outside repairs to City fleet assets; and
2) Adopt a resolution to amend the FY 2026 budget to appropriate funds in the amount of $100,000 for outside repairs to City fleet assets.
BACKGROUND: In FY 2026, the mechanical maintenance budget had an original appropriation of $990,000 for outside repair services. Currently there are 15 different vendors that City of Santa Cruz (City) Fleet Services utilizes from that budget. From that list, a purchase order was awarded to TEC Equipment for $95,000 to pay for parts, service and maintenance of the City’s Mack trucks and components. The City has been using TEC Equipment, Inc for over four years as the closest and only Sourcewell cooperative dealer in Northern California for genuine Mack truck components and service.
Repair costs for both domestically and foreign-made parts have continued to rise annually.
Within FY 2026 there has been a continued need for Mack garbage truck repairs and Mack parts as the City fleet assets age and wear down with continual use. All City Mack garbage trucks must be sent out for repairs to chassis, engines, transmissions, suspensions, bodies and hydraulic components. As an example of costs, a recent suspension repair cost $14,000 and a current engine repair is being estimated at $28,000 but may exceed $80,000 if the engine must be replaced completely. For Mack trucks that cannot be driven to the TEC repair garage in Oakland, a round-trip tow is $2,600.
DISCUSSION: The bulk of the City’s Mack trucks are used by the Sanitation Division which operates six days per week, year-round. The Fleet Maintenance division works closely with Sanitation and all other divisions that drive Mack trucks to maintain their fleet so that there is no disruption to essential services. Unanticipated breakdowns and component failures occur on all City fleet assets and are repaired internally when feasible. TEC Equipment is an authorized
15.1 dealer of equipment, products and services of Mack Trucks, Inc. (Greensboro, NC) of which the City has entered into a cooperative purchasing agreement.
Section 3.08.170 of the Municipal Code allows the City to buy from cooperative purchasing agreements when it is in the best interest of the City to do so. The City currently possesses a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Mack Trucks, Inc. via Sourcewell contract #032824- MAK. That contract provides goods and services to Mack trucks, medium and heavy duty. The contract expiration date is July 9, 2028. The pricing for this contract is provided from 17.58% to
39.36% off list price as a Sourcewell participating agency.
Approval of the appropriation of funds would allow for a change order to be processed and ensure the necessary repairs to City Mack trucks for the remainder of the FY 2026 budget.
Additionally, it would ensure that there are sufficient funds for outside repair services for all City fleet vehicles and equipment.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This is not a project under CEQA.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This project promotes Health in All Policies through promoting healthy environments and a safe and just community. Approval of this change order allows essential City services to continue providing services to all citizens in an efficient and timely manner with fully functional fleet vehicles and machinery.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Contract for Wastewater Treatment Facility Purchase of Vapex Odor Control Units (PW)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to award the purchase of three Vapex Micro Odor Control Units from Govapex Guardian Ozone and Vapex Environmental, LLC (Cocoa, FL) in the amount of $461,587. The Public Works Director (or designee) is authorized to approve future Contract Amendments within the approved project budget.
BACKGROUND: The Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) operates eight Vapex Odor Control units in compliance with Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) regulations. The Vapex units inject ionized components into the foul air recovery systems of both primary and secondary treatment areas to capture and neutralize odors produced in the treatment system. This purchase replaces three Vapex units at the end of their service life.
DISCUSSION: The two Vapex units that serve the Secondary Treatment Area were purchased in 2015 and are no longer serviceable. This replacement contract includes the purchase of two Milli units, extended mechanical warranties, a certified technician for on-site installation, spare parts kits for each unit, freight, and applicable taxes.
Vapex Environmental LLC is the inventor and patent holder of the ion-producing odor control units. There is no competitor or alternative source for the required supply. Section 3.08.150 of the Purchasing Ordinance allows the Purchasing Manager to award a contract without competition when there is only one source for the required item or service. The Purchasing Manager concurs that Govapex is the only company able to provide Vapex Milli Odor Control Units.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This purchase is not a “project” under CEQA. (See Public Resources Code § 21065; 14 CCR 15378(b) (“Project does not include . . . (2) Continuing administrative or maintenance activities[.]”)
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): The project aligns with the City of Santa Cruz’s HiAP goals by promoting the conditions of Health and Wellness, and Healthy Environments. The
16.1 WWTF treatment of community wastewater and discharge through the open ocean outfall in compliance with State Water Board regulations protects public health, economic health, and environmental health.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: There are adequate funds in the Wastewater Fund Capital Investment Program (CIP) WWTF Equipment Replacement project (m409659) budget for this purchase. The Santa Cruz County Sanitation District will pay 8/17 of the cost for the replacement units. There is no impact on the General Fund.

16.8 MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 10, 2026
TO: Elizabeth Millwee, Purchasing Manager
FROM: Anne Hogan, Wastewater System Manager; Armando Deloera, Wastewater Operations Manager SUBJECT: Replacement of three (3) secondary Vapex units.
The Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) utilizes eight (8) Vapex units throughout the facility for odor control in compliance with Monterey Bay Air Board District regulations. The Vapex units inject ionized components into the foul air recovery systems for both primary and secondary treatment areas to capture and neutralize odors produced in the wastewater treatment system.
The Vapex 2015 model PLC-3500 units on the Secondary side are no longer serviceable. They will be replaced with Vapex Milli units. The Milli units include an increased number of nozzles which increases square foot coverage. The 2026 replacement cost which includes a customer loyalty discount is $170,673.00 each. This 2026 price is 18% more than the 2015 original purchase cost of $143,679.00. Our price analysis also compares 2026 installation and warranty costs to a 2023 unit replacement project.
The 2026 installation cost at $11,500.00 each is 11% more than the 2023 installation cost of $10,350.00.
The 2026 extended warranty cost at $31,980.00 each is the same as the 2023 extended warranty. Staff have determined based off this analysis that the pricing is reasonable. The total cost breakdown is:
Proposal Date 3/3/2026

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Award Contract for Outside Repair Services to Citywide Assets (Kelley’s Services) – Budget Adjustment (PW)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to:
1) Authorize a contract with Kelley’s Service Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA) in the amount of $155,000 for City fleet vehicle and machinery parts purchases; and 2) Adopt a resolution to amend the FY 2026 budget to appropriate funds in the amount of $55,000 for outside repairs to City fleet assets.
BACKGROUND: In FY 2026, the mechanical maintenance budget had an original appropriation of $990,000 for outside repair services and parts for City of Santa Cruz’s (City) fleet vehicles and equipment. From that original appropriation, a purchase order was issued to Kelley’s Services for $99,999. The City has been using Kelley’s Service as a local vendor for vehicle parts for over 25 years. Kelley’s Service offers a wide range of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or equivalent auto parts. They provide daily delivery of stock items to the City Corporation Yard, regardless of size, at no charge to the City.
DISCUSSION: Currently, Fleet Services is nearing the total amount appropriated to the purchase order for Kelley’s Services due to a variety of factors. Those factors include the annually increasing price of auto parts and increased shop productivity with the addition of an equipment service worker in the Fleet garage. The City’s Fleet Maintenance division oversees the maintenance and repair of the City’s fleet of over 500 vehicles and equipment. The Fleet Maintenance division works closely with all City departments to maintain the City fleet through routine scheduled maintenance and repairs as necessary.
Approval of the appropriation of funds to fund the contract with Kelley’s Service would ensure that the Fleet Maintenance division can continue to provide necessary services to City fleet vehicles and equipment in a timely and cost-effective manner through the remainder of FY 2026.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This is not a project under CEQA.
17.1 HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This project promotes Health in All Policies through promoting healthy environments and a safe and just community. Approval of this contract allows essential City services to continue providing services to all citizens in an efficient and timely manner with fully functional fleet vehicles and machinery.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: Yes
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The Mechanical Maintenance Fund 811 is an internal services fund where actual repair expenditures are charged out to activities in various funds, based on usage.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Fleet Vehicle Tire Repairs and Purchases – Change Order (PW) LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to authorize a change order in the amount of $70,000 for City fleet vehicle tire repairs and purchases.
BACKGROUND: In FY 2026, the mechanical maintenance budget had an original appropriation of $250,000 for tires. A purchase order was issued to Prior’s Tires for $175,000 from that appropriation. The City of Santa Cruz (City) has been working with Prior’s Tires since 2018 and has awarded them an annual contract of $175,000 since November 2022 for the replacement, repair and emergency roadside assistance on all City fleet vehicles. Prior’s Tires is the only local tire vendor that can provide emergency roadside assistance and can do so on all City vehicles, including specialty equipment.
DISCUSSION: The City’s current contract with Prior’s Tires includes a purchase order with a “not to exceed” amount of $175,000. A change order of $70,000 is needed to cover anticipated FY 2026 tire services.
Since 2020, the price of tires has risen more than 20%. This is attributed to the cost of rubber, labor and overall increased cost of tire supplies. On average, the City spends between $18,000 and $20,000 per month on tires, including repairs and roadside assistance. Prior’s Tires extends a discount to the City for tires and services, excluding fees that are mandated by the State of California. The proposed change order is within the approved budget authority for the current fiscal year.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This is not a project under CEQA.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This project promotes Health in All Policies through promoting healthy environments and a safe and just community. Approval of this change order allows essential City services to continue providing services to all citizens in an efficient and timely manner with fully functional fleet vehicles and machinery.
18.1 FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: For FY 2026, the funds to facilitate this change order have already been appropriated within a budgeted activity in Fund 811. The General Fund impact is based on the usage of the fleet asset user. The Mechanical Maintenance Fund 811 is an internal services fund where actual repair expenditures are charged out to activities in various funds, based on usage.

RECOMMENDATION: Motion to authorize the purchase of one CNG Front Loader refuse truck from Western Truck Parts and Equipment (Sacramento, CA) in the amount of $630,000.
BACKGROUND: A new refuse truck is required to service increased demand from multi-unit housing construction within the city limits and requirements established by CalRecycle. The Public Works Department Resource Recovery Division (Resource Recovery) budgeted for this in the current refuse rates. An additional front-loader collection vehicle is needed to ensure compliance with mandated collection of multiple waste streams. This vehicle will service commercial and multi-family accounts.
DISCUSSION: As residential redevelopment continues throughout the city, demand for refuse services is increasing. To meet this growing demand and serve new customers, Resource Recovery will expand collection routes for refuse, recycling, and food waste services. A new collection vehicle is needed to support this expansion. The proposed vehicle is available immediately and meets the utility’s operational specifications. Ordering a new truck typically requires an approximately 18-month lead time before delivery. This model, an Autocar Heil Half Pack Sierra, is already part of the City of Santa Cruz (City) fleet. As a result, the Fleet Maintenance Division is familiar with its configuration and components, allowing for efficient maintenance and repairs. In addition to its immediate availability, the vendor is offering the vehicle at a discounted price through a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract.
Section 3.08.170 of the Municipal Code allows the City to buy from cooperative purchasing agreements when it is in the best interest of the City. The City is one of over 50,000 member agencies of Sourcewell Contract Number: #032824-ATC. Sourcewell conducts national competitive solicitations for common products and can secure discounts greater than the City could on its own. Autocar is listed on Sourcewell and Western Truck Parts and Equipment, both of which are authorized dealers for their respective brands.
19.1 While the Public Works Department is actively updating its fleet, the electric vehicles have not been fully developed for this type of refuse collection vehicle. The combination of an electric chassis and front loader components are still not manufactured due to the combined weight and the high mileage these trucks run on a regular basis, as we utilize them on our commercial accounts. The Resource Recovery Division, however, currently has three electric trucks, six Compressed natural gas (CNG) refuse vehicles, and the bulk of the fleet uses renewable diesel, which significantly reduces vehicle emissions such as NOx, particulates, CO, and hydrocarbons, and now rivals alternative fuels in numbers.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed vehicle purchase is not a project under CEQA. (Public Resources Code § 21065; 14 CCR § 15378(b) (“Project does not include: . . . (b) Continuing administrative or maintenance activities[.]”)
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This program promotes the following Health in All Policies Conditions: The collection of refuse, recycling and food scraps contributes to the Healthy Environments pillar of Health in All Policies Conditions. It addresses the CORE Community Indicators of “Concern for the environment” and “Environmental stewardship” by protecting public health and supporting a more sustainable form of managing food waste.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The purchase price of one CNG front loader totals $630,000. Funds for the purchase of this refuse collection vehicle are included in the approved FY 2026 operating budget in the Refuse Fund (Fund 731). There is no impact on the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Murray Street Bridge Seismic and Barrier Rail Construction (c402519) – Budget Adjustment to Align Expenditures and Reimbursements Anticipated for the Current Fiscal Year (PW)
LOCATION: District 2
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt a resolution amending the FY 2026 budget to appropriate funds in the amount of $39,865,571 for the Murray Street Bridge – Construction Phase project (c402519).
BACKGROUND: The Murray Street Bridge Construction Phase project is a multi-year bridge retrofit and safety enhancement project. The project is primarily funded by federal and state funds with the City of Santa Cruz (City) covering a local match of approximately 12% of project costs. Historically the project was budgeted in the Gas Tax Fund (Fund 221) which is the source of the City match funds for the project.
DISCUSSION: Due to the scale of the project, the Finance and Public Works Departments transferred the Murray Street Bridge Construction Phase project (c402519) from the Gas Tax Fund to the General Capital Improvement Program Fund (Fund 311) beginning in FY 2026, which also streamlined reporting for the Gas Tax Fund. Rebudgeting an active, mid-construction project across City funds highlighted an opportunity for Public Works to budget the full project upfront, rather than phasing anticipated revenues and expenditures within each annual budget cycle. Accordingly, a budget adjustment is required in FY 2026 for the life of the project to increase appropriations for both expenditures and associated federal reimbursement revenues to support continued project delivery and maintain the schedule, avoiding potential delays.
This budget adjustment does not represent a new expense or change in project funding formula, rather it is aligning budget appropriations to reflect the planned expenditures and reimbursements expected for the current fiscal year. The total cost of the project remains unchanged.
Construction is estimated to cost $59 million, including a contingency. The project completion is expected for January 2028, on schedule and within budget. In adherence with regulatory permits, a second full closure is planned June through September 2026.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed budget adjustment is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act
20.1 (Public Resources Code §21065) because it is an administrative and fiscal activity. An Initial Study/Negative Declaration was previously prepared for this project.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This project advances the City’s HiAP objectives by addressing key pillars of public health, equity, and sustainability:
Public Health: This project will enhance both pedestrian and bicycle access across the bridge, making it more attractive for active transportation uses. Equity: The project preserves coastal access for all community members, including historically underrepresented and underserved populations who rely on public recreational infrastructure for free or low-cost health and leisure opportunities. Sustainability: The new pedestrian and bicycle facilities on the bridge will promote low emission transportation modes such as biking and walking by maintaining safe and accessible routes.
The project reflects the City’s commitment to embedding HiAP principles in infrastructure planning and implementation, fostering resilient systems that improve community well-being.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: Yes
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: A budget adjustment is required for the Murray Street Bridge – Construction Phase project (c402519) to allocate an additional $39,865,571, ensuring sufficient funding is in place to complete the remaining construction work. There is no impact on the General Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/25/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Water
SUBJECT: Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant Concrete Tanks Replacement Project – Budget Adjustment (WT)
LOCATION: County
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt a resolution amending the FY 2026 budget in the amount of $1,500,000 and authorizing the transfer of funds within the Water Department’s Capital Investment Program from Project C702304 (Branciforte Streambank Restoration) in the amount of $700,000 and Project C701806 (River Bank Filtration Study) in the amount of $800,000 to Project C701501 (GHWTP Concrete Tanks Replacement Project) to fund additional work necessary to complete the project.
BACKGROUND: The Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant (GHWTP) is a surface water treatment plant that provides the water treatment necessary to comply with both federal and state statutes that are designed to ensure delivered water meets all public health and safety requirements. The GHWTP treats local waters from multiple sources: the San Lorenzo River, Majors Creek, Laguna Creek, Reggiardo Creek, Liddell Spring, and Loch Lomond Reservoir, producing 95% of all drinking water served to over 98,000 customers residing both in the City of Santa Cruz and in adjacent areas of unincorporated Santa Cruz County and parts of the City of Capitola. (The remaining 5% comes from treated groundwater, from wells in the Santa Cruz Mid-County Groundwater Basin in and around Live Oak.) Initial GHWTP construction was completed in 1961, expanded in 1968, and modernized in 1987 - the last major upgrade to the facility. The GHWTP is now undergoing extensive rehabilitation and improvements to address aging infrastructure while constructing a facility that adapts to the impacts of climate change.
The Concrete Tanks Replacement Project is the first of two major projects that meet these objectives.
The Concrete Tanks Replacement Project consists of demolishing three existing large water treatment process (0.5 – 1 million gallon) concrete tanks and replacing them in a slightly modified location. Related work includes replacement and relocation of two pump stations; replacement of all existing pipelines in the tanks area; construction of a new electrical building; modifications to the electrical power supply, instrumentation and controls; modifications to the access roads and stairs; construction of retaining walls; and improvements to the storm drain system.
21.1 Three main contracts have been awarded for this project:
On March 14, 2017, City Council approved an agreement with West Yost Associates (Davis, CA) in the amount of $1,772,900 to design the project. West Yost continues to provide engineering services during the construction.
On June 15, 2021, a Notice to Proceed was issued, following a competitive bidding process, to Pacific Hydrotech Corporation (Perris, CA) to construct the project. The original construction contract including 5% contingency was $29,769,967.50.
Project and Construction Management Services are being provided by the Water Department’s Program Manager, HDR.
Two of the three tanks are complete and in service along with their associated pump stations, underground piping, electrical improvements and retaining walls. The third tank is constructed but has not yet been commissioned. The remainder of the equipment is currently being installed, and the final project completion is anticipated to occur in summer 2026.
DISCUSSION: The schedule for the project has been extended significantly beyond the anticipated completion date of July 2024 due to weather delays, design changes, modifications to project components and unexpected conditions discovered during construction. The Water Department is in the final stages of negotiating a final amendment with West Yost and several change orders with Pacific Hydrotech. While the Water Director has the authority to execute change orders within an approved project budget, the project budget is fully expended and additional funds are required before any further actions can be taken. To move forward in a timely manner—and to avoid delays that could affect project delivery—a budget adjustment of $1,500,000 is needed.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed Council action is not a “project” under CEQA because the budget adjustment does not have the potential to cause a physical change in the environment directly or indirectly.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This major capital improvement project aligns with the public health pillar of the City’s HiAP initiative by supporting the Water Department’s work in ensuring the reliability of the public drinking water supply by improving infrastructure integrity and reliability.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: Yes
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: A net zero transfer of $1,500,000 within the FY 2026 Water Department’s Capital Investment Program’s adjusted budget is requested. The attached Budget Adjustment will reduce two inactive projects, project c702304 (Branciforte Streambank Restoration) by $700,000 and c701806 (River Bank Filtration Study) by $800,000, and increase project c701501 (GHWTP CC Tanks Replacement) by $1,500,000.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/26/2026
AGENDA OF: 04/14/2026
DEPARTMENT: Water
SUBJECT: Cooperative Water Transfer and Purchase Agreement Between the City of Santa Cruz and the Scotts Valley Water District (WT)
LOCATION: County
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Water Transfer and Purchase Agreement between the City of Santa Cruz (the City) and the Scotts Valley Water District for the operation of the Intertie 1 Project.
BACKGROUND: In 2013, the City partnered with the Scotts Valley Water District (SVWD) and was awarded grant funding for a regional project under a California Department of Public Health Proposition 50 Grant. As one of several interties connecting water agencies in North Santa Cruz County, “Intertie 1” was a component of this regional project designed to establish regional emergency interties between the City and SVWD, with other interties between San Lorenzo Valley Water District, and the Mount Hermon Association. Due to a reduction in funding however the Intertie 1 component was not constructed at that time.
In December 2021, SVWD and the City of Santa Cruz Water Department collaborated on a grant application for funding from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) through the Urban and Multi-Benefit Drought Relief Program. SVWD served as the applicant for the Regional Drought Resiliency Project that included two project components: an intertie between the drinking water systems of the City of Santa Cruz and SVWD (Intertie 1 Project), and a new groundwater well in Scotts Valley for SVWD. In March 2022, SVWD received a Letter of Commitment from DWR for grant funding of up to $9,449,783 with a zero matching funds requirement for the Project. An implementation agreement was subsequently established defining the City of Santa Cruz as lead on the Intertie 1 Project and SVWD as lead on their new well.
The purpose and need of the Intertie 1 Project is to increase the emergency and drought resiliency of both the City and SVWD by augmenting water supply, storage, and fire flow capacities. The Intertie 1 Project will enable the City and SVWD to better coordinate and optimize the use of surface and groundwater supplies and facilitate both active and passive groundwater recharge of the Santa Margarita Groundwater Basin.
22.1 The intertie, which will be used for both emergency and non-emergency water transfers and exchanges between the City and SVWD, will be bi-directional and include a pump station with a capacity of up to 1.0 million gallons per day (mgd). Construction of the Intertie 1 Project, including the pipeline and pump station, is currently underway and anticipated to be completed by May 2026.
DISCUSSION: Management and staff from the City and SVWD have worked collaboratively to develop this initial operational agreement for Intertie 1. The agreement provides for transfers of up to 0.7 mgd in either direction and states the intention of both parties to use their best efforts to balance the volume of water exchanged during testing, commissioning, and operations so that equal volumes of water are exchanged by each party over the life of the Agreement.
This agreement is expected to be amended in the future to allow for increased capacity and to provide a framework for long-term water banking by the City while continuing to provide for emergency transfers. Water banking would be accomplished by the City transferring excess surface water to SVWD during non-dry periods allowing SVWD to rest their groundwater wells in the Santa Margarita Groundwater Basin. SVWD would then be able to transfer “banked” groundwater back to the City during dry periods enhancing the City’s water supply. This strategy is consistent with implementation strategy for water supply augmentation projects that improve water supply reliability, leverage regional collaboration, and builds on previous efforts from the City’s Water Supply Advisory Committee.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The Intertie 1 Project was evaluated as a programmatic component of the Santa Cruz Water Rights Project (SCWRP) Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that was certified by City Council in December 2021.An addendum to the EIR was prepared in 2023 to address minor modifications to the project evaluated in the SCWRP EIR, including development of an operational agreement between the City and SVWD. The Intertie 1 Project was approved by City Council in August 2023 considering the certified SCWRP EIR and the Intertie 1 Project Addendum to the Santa Cruz Water Rights Project Final EIR. A Notice of Determination was subsequently filed with the Santa Cruz County Clerk and California State Clearinghouse.
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): By strengthening and improving regional water supply reliability, this project supports the public health pillar of the City’s HiAP initiative through ensuring healthy built environments, which is one of eight core conditions for health and wellbeing. It also enables the City to implement and sustain actions that reduce vulnerabilities and risks from hazards, as well as mitigate their effects on people and property.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No
2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No
3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: There is no fiscal impact resulting from this action. The Agreement’s balanced exchange framework ensures that any water produced and transferred to SVWD is returned in an equivalent volume.

5. COST AND PAYMENT METHOD
To the extent practicable, the City and SVWD desire to maintain balanced, volumetrically equivalent water transfers between the City and District during the term of this Agreement. The parties shall coordinate operations under the approved Operations Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A to schedule and monitor transfers so that, to the greatest extent practicable, cumulative deliveries remain within five percent of parity in any fiscal year.

If, upon the conclusion of a Reconciliation Period a material imbalance remains after all reasonable operational adjustments have been made, invoices may be issued as follows:
a. If the City provides a larger volume of water to SVWD than SVWD provides to the City during a Reconciliation Period, the City may invoice SVWD for the difference between water supplied and water received at the City's Direct Variable Cost of producing water. b. If SVWD provides a larger volume of water to the City than the City provides to SVWD during a Reconciliation Period, SVWD may invoice the City for the difference between water supplied and water received at SVWD’s Direct Variable Cost of producing water. c. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Direct Variable Cost" shall mean the actual incremental costs incurred to produce and deliver the water, limited strictly to:
i. The actual cost of electricity or fuel required to pump, treat, and deliver the water to the Intertie. This shall be calculated using the applicable energy fees and costs (including peak/off-peak adjustments) at the time of delivery. ii. The actual cost of all chemical additives (e.g., chlorine, coagulants, etc.) consumed in the treatment of the water exchanged.
d. Exclusions: For the avoidance of doubt, Direct Variable Cost shall not include:
i. Salaries, benefits, or overtime of any personnel;
ii. General system maintenance or capital depreciation; iii. Debt service or financing costs;
