COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Graciela Reynoso, Chief Human Resources Officer
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2026‑ 01 on CalPERS Special Compensation and Fire Battalion Chief Holiday Pay
Description:
The City Council to consider approving an amendment to the Wage and Benefits Package Resolution for the Public Safety Managers.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a Resolution amending Resolution No. 2026-01, authorizing and approving a Wage and Benefits Package for Public Safety Managers to update special compensation items and align Fire Battalion Chief holiday pay with CalPERS requirements; and
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the terms of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Safety Managers (PSM) Resolution requires an amendment to address special compensation issues recently identified by CalPERS. Item 26 of the PSM Resolution currently lists “Fire Department Administrative Battalion Chief/Training Battalion Chief – Premium Pay” as a single category of special compensation. CalPERS has determined that Administrative Battalion Chief Premium Pay —reported by the City as Fire Staff Premium —is not pensionable for Battalion Chiefs because they are not classified as rank‑ and‑ file employees.
To ensure compliance, Human Resources recommends revising Resolution Item 26 to remove Administrative Battalion Chief Premium Pay and retain only the Training Battalion Chief Premium Pay, which is reported appropriately as Training Premium and is considered pensionable.
Additionally, CalPERS conducted a compensation compliance review of Holiday Pay and determined that special compensation (i.e. bilingual pay, education incentive, etc.) should not be included in the calculation of Ho liday Pay, as it is not explicitly stated within the PSM resolution.
2 Currently, the Public Safety Managers Wage and Benefits Package Resolution states that Fire Battalion Chiefs will receive the “equivalent of 144 hours of compensation (at the fifty- six (56) hour base rate of pay).” It does not reference the fact that special compensation should be included in the calculation of Holiday Pay.
To address this issue and comply with CalPERS requirements, Human Resources proposes amending the Public Safety Managers Wage and Benefits Package Resolution to incorporate clear language listing the special compensation items that should be included in the calculation of Holiday Pay.
DISCUSSION:
A recommendation to adopt the revised resolution for the Public Safety Managers Wage and Benefits Package, which includes the removal of Administrative Battalion Chief Premium Pay, while retaining Training Battalion Chief Premium Pay. This will provide clarity and ensure that Training Battalion Chief Premium Pay is pensionable.
To ensure compliance with the current Public Safety Managers Wage and Benefits Package Resolution governing Fire Battalion Chief Holiday Pay, it is necessary to include all applicable special compensation items. This will ensure Holiday Pay is calculated appropriately and per CalPERS requirements.
An amendment to Resolution 2026-01 (Attachment “A”) has been drafted to address the special compensation issue. The effective date for this change is January 1, 2022.
Resolution 2026 -01 (Attachment “A”) has been further amended to include the list of special compensa tion items that should be included in Holiday Pay calculations. The effective date for this change is July 1, 2022.
Alternative(s)
A decision by the City Council not to approve the revised Resolution to the Wage and Benefits Package Resolution will result in the exclusion of special compensation (training premium). Additionally, Holiday Pay will be calculated at an incorrect rate, negatively impacting the pensions of Fire Battalion Chiefs going forward.
Fiscal Considerations
No Fiscal Impac t with these ch anges. CalPERS employer contribution rates are developed through an annual actuarial valuation of each agency’s pension plan and these changes are only updating the past practices.
3 Impact on the Community
Approval of the amended Wage and Benefits Packag e Resolution for Public Safety Managers is crucial to maintaining positive employee -employer relations and retaining a well-staffed, qualified workforce, who in turn will continue to support the City’s operational needs.

During the first payroll period of each new payroll calendar year, all eligible exempt employees shall be credited with a designated amount of management leave time (rounded to the nearest half-hour) to be used during that payroll calendar year.

For employees separating service or starting during the calendar year, management leave will be pro -rated (to the nearest half -hour) based on the number of full pay periods elapsed or remaining during the payroll year. If an employee, prior to separating service, used more management leave than the pro- rated amount for the payroll year, the excess used management leave will be deducted from vacation leave hours, then if needed, from the employee’s final paycheck without the necessity of the City securing a judgment. Accordingly, management leave is a

An employee may use up to half of his/her annually accrued sick leave for family illness. The term "family" in this section shall be defined as anyone per California Labor Code Section 245.5 (c). Family illness in this regard shall be defined as when a child, spouse, or parent of the employee is ill and the nature of their condition requires that the employee provides care. Family Illness may also be used by an employee when s/he is responsible (primary care giver) for the care of said family member and said member is seeking medical, dental, or optical treatment.

Sprouts Farmers Market (“Sprouts”) is a full-service grocery store that specializes in farm- fresh produce purchased from local growers. Today, Sprouts is one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country, with over 140 stores in California alone.
Sprouts is currently under construction for its first location in Santa Maria, with building permits (tenant improvements) issued on August 7, 2025, and October 15, 2025. Sprouts will operate a full -service grocery store in a 24,199 square foot building (previously a furniture store) in the Crossroads Shopping Center located at 2170 South Bradley. The store will open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and will offer fresh produce, meat and seafood, vitamins and supplements, bulk items, a bakery , and general grocery s tore items. Residents have expressed enthusiastic support for the coming Sprouts, and staff frequently receive inquiries regarding its status.
Sprouts is requesting a Type 20 license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to of fer the sale of beer and wine to customers for offsite consumption.
2 DISCUSSION:
Sprouts proposes offering beer and wine sales alongside their existing selection of typical food and beverage products sold at a grocery store as a convenience for their customers.
The percentage of the store’s floor area dedicated to beer and wine sales, display, and storage would be no more than four percent of the store’s building area, with beer and wine encompassing 53 linear feet out of 3,465 linear feet of retail space (Attachment C – Floor Plan). The ability for customers to purchase beer and wine along with other groceries would make Sprouts a full-service grocery store, increasing convenience for the customer and avoiding a separate trip to a liquor store or separat e market to purchase beer and wine.
State Law
Section 23958.4(b)(2) of the California Business and Professions Code provides the City Council with some authority and responsibility regarding the issuance of certain types of alcoholic beverage licenses where there is a request for a new license in an area with:
1. Undue Concentration of Licenses:
An area of “undue concentration” of off -sale retail ABC licenses exists where the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to population (people residing) within a census tract in which the applicant premises are located exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to the population in the county. This property is located in Census Tract 20.14, which encompasses the area south of Betteravia Road, west of Highway 101, north of McCoy Lane and east of Miller Street. Census Tract 20.14 is limited to five off -sale licenses. As of today, ABC reports there are five existing off-sale licenses. This Type 20 license will increase the number of licenses within the Census Tract to six , which will establish an undue concentration of off-sale retail licenses.
2. Undue Concentration of Crime:
State law defines an area of “undue co ncentration” of crime as a reporting district with annual reported crimes 20 percent over the jurisdiction’s average.
This property is in Police Beat 023, which had 386 reported crimes in 2024, compared to the City average rate per reporting district of 238. Therefore, this proposal is in a district with an undue concentration of crime.
ABC typically denies a license request for a location with either an undue concentration of licenses or an undue concentration of crime, unless the City Council makes a fi nding that the license will serve the public convenience or necessity. The applicant has the option to appeal the City’s findings to ABC.
Applicant’s Justification
Sprouts projects that alcoholic beverage sales will account for only a small part (less than three percent) of the overall sales revenues at the store. The applicant has indicated that they understand and take seriously the responsibility that comes with selling alcoholic beverages regarding the maintenance of a safe environment for customers, employees 3 and the surrounding community. Toward this end, all staff will be properly trained in responsible alcoholic beverage sale practices.
Sprouts employees are required to complete the State Alcoholic Beverage Control’s mandated training, as well as internal training on the sale of alcohol as part of their new employee orientation. To verify employees’ knowledge, Sprouts partners with the BARS program. The BARS program verifies employees’ knowledge of alcohol policies by conducting mock purchases that focus on whether, upon an alcohol purchase, employees ask customers for ID and enter their date of birth on registers if they appear under 40 years of age. Additionally, all staff selling alcohol will be over 21 years of age.
A camera surveillance system with recording capabilities will also be installed, with cameras located throughout the sales area and on the exterior elevation. Furthermore, the premises, both in the interior of the store and the parking lot, are patrolled by management and staff to ensure a safe environment. The Planning Division and Police Department have no opposition to Sprouts Farmers Market Type 20 PCN request.
Council Policy
Previous City Council policy has been for all applications to be placed on the consent calendar with a staff recommendation that the City Council make a determination of public convenience. The City Council retains the option to remove the applica tion from the consent calendar to consider another action or request additional information. If the City Council requests information to be prepared for consideration, the agenda item would be continued to a future meeting.
Alternative(s)
The City Council could determine that public convenience or necessity is not served by this request. ABC would then not issue the new Type 20 license.
Environmental Review
The project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption (Section 15301) as the project is located within an existing structure involving negligible or no expansion of former use.
None of the exceptions to the Class 1 Categorical Exemption that are listed in Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines apply. No further environmental review is required.
Fiscal Considerations
Approval of the ABC License would have nominal sales tax impact. The Police Department did not raise any concern regarding the potential for increased calls for service at the location.
4 Impact on the Community
A finding of public convenience, thus allowing the issuance of the ABC License, would provide a higher degree of convenience for residents of Santa Maria, allowing grocery shoppers to also purchase beer and wine at Sprouts Farmers Market.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SANTA MARIA, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING A DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR
NECCESSITY FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A TYPE 20 (OFF-SALE
BEER AND WINE) ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE FOR
SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET AT 2170 SOUTH BRADLEY
ROAD
WHEREAS, Terri Dickerhoff, on behalf of Sprouts Farmers Market , will apply to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for a Type 2 0 ABC license to sell beer and wine for off-site consumption at 2170 South Bradley Road; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control requires an ABC Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer and Wine) alcoholic beverage license for the supermarket; and
WHEREAS, the site is located in Census Tract No. 20.14, and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has determined that the tract is limited to five off-sale licenses which are currently activ e and the request would increase the number to six off -sale licenses; therefore, the Tract would have an “undue concentration” of licenses, and
WHEREAS, the site is located in City of Santa Maria Crime Reporting District Beat 023 with an above average number of reported crimes and is therefore in an area with an “undue concentration” of crime; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Secti on 23958.4(b)(2) of the California Business and Professions Code, the City Council may make a determination for public convenience or necessity when an “undue concentration” of crime exists, that will then allow the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to issue the requested Type 20 ABC license; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has committed to the following provisions regarding the sales of alcoholic beverages at this location while operating under the Type 20 license:
The floor area dedicated to alcoholic beverages shall not exceed four percent of the gross floor area of the tenant space; and
The store will have a camera surveillance system with recording capabilities, with cameras located throughout the sales area and on the exterior elevation; and All cashiers shall be trained in proper alcohol beverage sales procedures.
WHEREAS, this is a Class 1 categorical exemption based on Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), Public Resources C ode Section 21000 et. seq., as amended.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Maria, California, as follows:
Attachment A
SECTION 1. The above recitals and true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The proposed Type 20 ABC license would introduce a new Type 20 ABC license at the location; therefore, the proposed license would result in an increase in the existing number of licenses within Census Tract 20.14.
SECTION 3. The Crime Reporting District Beat 0 23 is experiencing an above - average number of reported crimes and is therefore designated an area with an “undue concentration” of crime; however, the Police Department has no opposition for a Type 20 license at this location.
SECTION 4. The issuance of the Type 2 0 ABC license will serve the public convenience without any expectation of negative impacts due to:
a. The undue concentration of licenses in Census Tract No. 20.14 reflects the large area of the tract, with a retail dominant pattern of land uses along the major streets; and
b. While Crime Reporting District Beat 023 is experiencing an above-average number of reported crimes and is therefore designated an area with an “undue concentration” of crime, the Police Department does not oppose the granting of the Type 20 license.
SECTION 4. The Chief Deputy City Clerk is hereby authorized to make m inor changes herein to address clerical errors, so long as substantial conformance of the intent of this document is maintained. In doing so, the Chief Deputy City Clerk shall consult with the City Manager and City Attorney concerning any changes deemed necessary.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Santa Maria, California, held this 17th day of February 2026.

Alcohol Beverage Sales in Stores
Sprouts’ is committed to responsible sales of alcoholic beverages and expects any team member who sells alcohol to strictly comply with state law. In accordance to this commitment, you are required to follow the procedures listed below:
• All team members who sell alcoholic beverages are required to successfully complete any state required Alcoholic Beverage Commission Certified Seller/Server Training Course when beginning employment. (Requirements vary by state.)
• You cannot sell an alcoholic beverage to anyone under the age of 21. • Carefully follow the steps below for anyone who appears to be under 30 years old:
– Ask, “Are you at least 21 years of age?” before asking for identification (ID). In case of a “sting” operation, the underage customer cannot lie.
– If the answer is “no”, refuse to make the sale and call the Head Cashier or Store Mgmt to your register. – If the answer is “yes”, request to see the customer’s ID. Do not ask the customer to state their birthdate. • Acceptable documentation is a valid state driver’s license with a photo, a state issued photo ID, military ID or passport.
• Carefully check the ID to determine its authenticity. • Verify the date of birth and check the appearance on the ID against the custom er’s features. Enter the birthdate to approve purchase.
• The Store Manager should be informed if there is any appearance of forgery or tampering. • In the absence of authentic ID call the Head Cashier or a manager to the register immediately. • Do not sell an a lcoholic beverage to anyone who appears to be intoxicated. If the customer shows signs of intoxication, you or the Head Cashier should notify the Store Manager. • Carefully and accurately enter the customer’s birth date in the register when carding the customer. • If the customer’s date of birth declines, refuse the sale. • All alcohol returns and/or exchanges must be authorized by a member of management (such as Head Cashiers, Store Managers, and other store management). Customers receiving an exchange must be at least 21 years of age —follow the same steps to verify age as outlined above.

Slide 8 - Always Ask!
Slide notes
When a customer is purchasing alcohol, always ask, “Are you at least 21 years old?” before asking for identification. It’s important to know that if this is a “sting” operation, in other words an audit to make sure we’re complying with the law, the underage customer cannot lie about his or her age.
If the customer responds with a “yes” then you can proceed to request an ID and input the information into the register. Do not ask the customer to state his or her birthdate.
If the customer responds with “no,” refuse the sale and call a manager or head cashier over to your register.

Slide 14 - The BARS Program
Slide notes
Sprouts is committed to ensuring that our cashiers are properly trained on how to handle alcohol sales. Therefore, we’ve partnered with a training provider and program called “The BARS Program.” The BARS program will verify our knowledge of Sprouts’ alcohol policies. It focuses on whether, upon an alcohol purchase, we ask our customers for ID and enter their date of birth in our registers if they appear under 40 years of age.
Adobe Captivate Thursday, April 11, 2024
Slide 15 - How the BARS Program Works
Slide notes
If ID is requested and date of birth is entered, the manager on duty will be given a Green Card. If not, the manager will be given a Red Card. The alcohol product will be left on the counter and not purchased. A Red Card will result in a coaching session of the cashier (or cashiers if the manager deems appropriate) to reinforce training of our policies. Although the Red Card states you must ask for ID if customer looks under 30 years old, Sprouts policy is to ask for ID if the customer looks under 40 years old.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Refurbishment of a 2013 CAT Soil Compactor, Asset No. 6445-13, to FY 2025-26
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving the early refurbishment of a CAT Soil Compactor (Asset No. 6445-13).
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving an amendment to the Fleet Replacement Schedule to authorize the refurbishment of 2013 Caterpillar CS56B Soil Compactor, Asset No. 6445- 13, in Fiscal Year 2025-26.
BACKGROUND:
The Utilities Department operates Fleet assets at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill to perform the disposal of solid waste. Fleet staff maintain these assets by performing preventive maintenance and repairs.
DISCUSSION:
Fleet Asset No. 6445-13, 2013 Caterpillar CS56B Soil Compactor, has an expected useful life of 10 years. Fleet staff have worked diligently to extend the service life of this equipment; however, recent oil sample analysis indicates the engine is approaching catastrophic failure. The unit is currently scheduled for replacement in F iscal Year (FY) 2026–27, pending budget and Council approval.
Due to the limited remaining lifespan of Fleet Asset No. 6445-13, it has been determined that refurbishing the 2013 Caterpillar CS56B Soil Compactor is more cost -effective than full replacement. This Resolution will authorize the refurbishment to begin in FY 2025-26 rather than FY 2026–27 in an effort to prevent catastrophic engine failure and extend the unit’s operational life.
2 Alternative(s)
An alternative to this recommendation is not to approve the budget amendment. However, doing so would limit the ability to maintain required operational services at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill and in turn hinder the operational needs of Utilities.
Fiscal Considerations
The requested capital project allocation for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund was previously included in the four -year Summary of Capital and Maintenance Projects presented with the Fiscal Year 2022 -24 Budget scheduled for FY 26 -27. Funds have already been collected in the Fleet Replacement Fund for the Fleet Asset No. 6445-13. No new funding is being requested. Total project cost estimated to be $175,000 as opposed to $270,000 for an asset replacement.
Impact on the Community
The community will benefit from the ability to maintain required operational services at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the D isposition of Older Transit Vehicles and Equipment
Description:
The City Council will consider authorizing the disposal of older transit vehicles and equipment.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the disposition of older transit vehicles and equipment; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee , to sign sales agreements with a reputable auction company for the surplus of the transit vehicles.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Santa Maria Regional Transit (SMRT) utilizes a variety of vehicles and equipment purchased primarily through Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding. As a recipient of federal funds, the City must manage the disposal of these assets in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (2CFR §200) and FTA Circular 5010.1E. Once an asset reaches the end of its "useful life," it is surplused through methods that ensure the highest financial return, typically via public auction.
DISCUSSION:
The Transit Division has identified several assets for retirement based on age, mileage, and condition. None of these vehicles have undergon e major drivetrain overhauls that would extend their mandated useful life.
Assets Identified for Disposition:
Vehicle Type Quantity FTA Useful Life Threshold Current Status Heavy-Duty (40’
Gillig) 6 12 Years / 500,000 Miles Met/Exceeded
2 Vehicle Type Quantity FTA Useful Life Threshold Current Status Medium-Duty
(Trolleys) 2 7 Years / 150,000 Miles Met/Exceeded
Equipment 2 Donaldson DPF Thermal
Cleaners
Obsolete/Poor
Condition
Condition and Replacement
According to the City’s Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan, these assets have received a condition rating of less than 2.0 (Very Poor). Due to high maintenance costs and declining reliability, it is no longer fiscally responsible to keep them in service.
Replacements for these vehicles have already been budgeted and received for the FY 2024-26 cycle.
Federal Interest and Fair Market Value
The FTA retains a financial interest in equipment with a unit value exceeding $5,000.
Transit staff calculated the remaining value using straight-line depreciation; based on age and wear, the remaining federal interest is calculated at $0. Furthermore, market analysis of similar recent auctions confirms the anticipated individual sale price for each unit will likely fall below the $5,000 threshold.
Sale Process
If a vehicle sells for more than $5,000, the City will reimburse the FTA its proportionate share (e.g., 80% of net proceeds) or apply those funds toward an FTA -approved capital award. The Transit Division will collaborate with Fleet Services to utilize online auction platforms, which historically yield higher returns and m ore competitive bidding than in - person events.
Auction Company
The sale of items is advertised and displayed online with photographs, videos, and detailed descriptions. In recent years, the City’s Fleet and Transit Divisions have utilized the online auction company GovDeal.com to market and sell equipment to the broad est possible audience. In general, auction proceeds through this site have been better than with the City attempting to sell them on its own or than other government equipment auction sites, and it is recommended that the City continue using this method.
Alternative(s)
The City Council may choose not to approve the recommended action, which would result in the continued retention of vehicles and equipment that have exceeded their useful life, leading to increased maintenance costs and reduced reliability. Alternatively, the City Council could direct staff to delay disposal; however, this would continue to incur storage and maintenance costs without providing operational benefit.
3 Fiscal Considerations
There is no impact on the General Fund. The Transit Program operates as an Enterprise Fund. All proceeds from the auction will be recorded in the Transit budget as restricted funds, to be applied toward future FTA-approved capital projects.
Impact on the Community
This is an administrative action with no negative impact on transit service. The retirement of older, high-maintenance vehicles ensures a more reliable and efficient fleet for SMRT riders. Auction proceeds will be reinvested into future community transportation improvements.

AUTHORIZING THE DISPOSITION OF OLDER
TRANSIT VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Maria Regional Transit utilizes transit vehicles and equipment purchased primarily with Federal Transit Administration funding; and
WHEREAS, federal regulations require the City to dispose of transit assets in accordance with applicable Federal Transit Administration requirements once those assets reach the end of their useful life; and
WHEREAS, the Transit Division has identified certain vehicles and equipment that have met or exceeded their federally defined useful life and are no longer cost -effective to maintain; and
WHEREAS, disposal of these assets through public auction is an appropriate method to obtain fair market value while complying with federal requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Santa Maria, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby authorize the City Manager, or designee, to sign sales agreements with a reputable auction company for the surplus of the transit vehicles listed in the Attachment B of the Council Agenda Report. The disposition of these transit vehicles shall be conducted in accordance with federal regulations, including but not limited to CFR 200, and the City's Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan; and
SECTION 2. The proceeds from the sale of these transit vehicles shall be recorded in the Transit budget accounting system and used for future capital projects approved by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). In the event that the sale of any of these vehicles ex ceeds the $5,000 threshold, the City shall reimburse FTA a proportionate amount based on FTA's participation in the original award; and
SECTION 3. The Chief Deputy City Clerk is hereby authorized to make m inor changes herein to address clerical errors, so long as substantial conformance of the intent of this document is maintained. In doing so, the Chief Deputy City Clerk shall consult with the City Manager and City Attorney concerning any changes deemed necessary.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution Approving a Proposed Establishment of a No Stopping Zone on West Boone Street
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving the establishment of a No Stopping Zone located at the northwest corner of the Pine Street and Boone Street intersection, extending westerly for 50 feet, to provide adequate Fire Department access to the building located at 529 South Pine Street.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing a No Stopping Zone on West Boone Street.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Pine at Boone Townhouses development conditions of approval, the developer submitted a request to Traffic Committee to establish a No Stopping zone along the project frontage to accommodate Fire Department access requirements. The proposed No Stopping Zone would begin at the back of curb return of the curb ramp located at the northwest cor ner of the Pine Street and Boone Street intersection and extend westerly for 50 feet. This restriction is necessary to provide adequate Fire Department access to the building located at 529 South Pine Street.
DISCUSSION:
Per City Council Resolution No. 2061 and CAM 63 -15, a Traffic Committee was formed to “be responsible for the review, approval or denial, and recommendations to City Council on all matters and requests relating to traffic circulation and safety within the public right-of-way”. The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request for the proposed No Stopping Zone and recommends its establishment. The City Council has the authority to locate, establish, or eliminate No Stopping Zones within the City.
The No Stopping Zone recommended to be established is described as follows:
2 West Boone Street, begin at the back of curb return of the curb ramp located at the northwest corner of the Pine Street and Boone Street intersection and extend westerly for 50 feet
Alternative(s)
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the No Stopping Zone.
Fiscal Considerations
The developer will be responsible for installing the No Stopping Zone, and no City funds will be required for labor or materials; however, periodic maintenance will be necessary as the pavement markings fade over time.
Impact on the Community
Approximately two on -street parking spaces will be removed to provide adequate Fire Department access to the building located at 529 South Pine Street.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Establishment of a Crosswalk on South College Drive
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution for the establishment of a mid-block crosswalk located on South College Drive approximately 200 feet north of the East Camino Colegio and South College Drive intersection.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving the establishment of a mid -block crosswalk on South College Drive approximately 200 feet north of the East Camino Colegio and South College Drive intersection.
BACKGROUND:
City staff received a request for the installation o f a high visibility crosswalk with rapid rectangular flashing beacons (RRFBs) to facilitate pedestrian crossings between the southern college entrance and the athletic fields located across South College Drive.
A mid-block crosswalk across South College D rive would provide a marked, centralized crossing location for Allan Hancock students and residents in the area. Pedestrians frequently cross South College Drive at this location as there is a transit stop on the eastern side of the road, a parking lot on the western side, and the College’s softball, baseball, and shotput fields.
DISCUSSION:
Marked crosswalks should not be installed indiscriminately. Pedestrian crossings at uncontrolled intersections and mid-block locations are generally unexpected by motorists and should be discouraged unless strong engineering justification exists to support their installation. Pedestrians typically follow the path of least resistance and the shortest travel distance.
2 Considering students, their families, spectators, and other participants attending sporting events, it is reasonable to expect that pedestrians will choose the most direct route by crossing South College Drive at the intersection with the private road serving as the southern entrance to the college.
South College Drive consists of three lanes, with one lane in each direction and a two - way left -turn lane. The posted speed limit along this segment of South College Drive (Section 7 -4.06 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code) is 35 miles per hour, and the estimated Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) ranges from 9,000 to 15,000 vehicles, based on the 2018 Annual Traffic Count Summary Map. According to the Federal Highway Administration’s Field Guide for Selecting Countermeasures at Uncontrolled Pedestrian Crossin g Locations , the installation of RRFBs is an appropriate countermeasure for this type of uncontrolled crossing location.
The nearest controlled intersection is located at South College Drive and East Stowell Road, approximately 1,300 feet from the propose d mid-block crosswalk. No pedestrian- related collisions have been reported at this intersection.
The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request and recommends that the City Council authorize the establishment of the proposed mid -block crosswalk with high -visibility striping and RRFBs.
Alternative(s)
1. The City Council could request additional measures to improve the crosswalk, such as:
a. Curb extensions
b. Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon
These additional measures would reduce traffic speeds, reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians, and provide active warning of the pedestrian presence.
2. The City Council could also deny the request to establish a crosswalk at this location.
Fiscal Considerations
Sufficient funds for miscellaneous roadway projects, including this project, have been budgeted in F iscal Year 2025/2026 under the account titled “Various Street Improvements” (7200 -FD463-CC1120-SC7425). The estimated total project cost, including construction, inspection, and staff time is $83,000.
Design = $20,000
RRFB equipment = $11,000
Construction = $45,000
Staff time (project management, inspection, etc.) = $7,000
3 Impact on the Community
Installing the proposed crosswalk will increase the visibility of the pedestrian travel path commonly used between the southern college entrance and the athletic fields. Enhanced visibility is expected to reduce the likelihood of future vehicle-pedestrian collisions at this location.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Award of a Design -Build Agreement with Structural Preservation System, LLC for the Town Center East Parking Structure Rehabilitation 2025 Project
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution to award a Design-Build Agreement to Structural Preservation System, LLC for the Town Center East Parking Structure Rehabilitation 2025 Project.
Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 Existi ng facilities (operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, etc.) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a Resolution approving the award of a Design -Build Agreement to Structural Preservation System, LLC for the Town Center East Parking Structure Rehabilitation 2025 Project in the amount of $3,061,980; and
2. Authorize the City Manager , or designee, to execute the agreement and any future amendments related to this agreement up to the contingency amount of $200,000.
BACKGROUND:
The City owns and operates the parking structure located at Town Center East, north of Cook Street and east of Miller Street. The structure is adjacent to and serves the south side of the Town Center Mall. The parking structure was originally constructed in the early 1970’s and is in need of significant rehabilitation.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on May 3, 2025, through PlanetBids, with proposals due on July 10, 2025. The City selected a fixed -price design -build project delivery method, inst ead of the traditional design -bid-build. Use of the design -build delivery method is expected to expedite project completion, improve budget control, and reduce project risks. The design-build delivery method was approved by the City Attorney Office for this project.
2 The scope of work includes an assessment of the Town Center East Parking Structure, followed by collaboration with City staff to develop a list of work items necessary to maintain the integrity of the structure and extend the lifespan of the structure. Three qualified firms responded to the RFQ&P.
DISCUSSION:
The selected consultant was not the lowest price bidder. Instead, the selection was based on qualifications and overall best fit for the project. After evaluation and deliberation, staff determined that Structural Preservation System, LLC, is the most qualified firm to provide the required services.
Alternative(s)
The City Council may approve the award of the contract as recommended. Alternatively, the City Council may reject the award and direct staff to reissue the Request for Qualifications & Proposals; however, this action would likely delay the project and increase costs.
Fiscal Considerations
This Capital Project totals $3,431,980. The project is a General Fund funded project that includes $2,839,572 approved in FY 2023 -24, $500,000 approved in FY 2024 -25, and $592,408 from legacy structural analysis project savings for a total of $3,4 31,980. Given the nature of this project, staff is requesting authorization to award the contract in the amount of $3,061,980, and to authorize the City Manager or designee to approve future change orders for this agreement up to the contingency amount of $200,000 for this project. A breakdown of total project funding and costs are listed in the table below. No additional funding is being requested for this project.
Amount
Project Funding $ 3,624,444.04
Expenditures to Date $ 41,039.04
Current Available Budget $ 3,583,405.00
Amount
Design-Build Award $ 3,061,980.00
Contingency $ 200,000.00
Inspection $ 140,000.00
Materials Testing $ 30,000.00
Project Total $ 3,431,980.00
3 Impact on the Community
Completion of maintenance work on the parking structure will extend the lifespan of the structure, prevent more costly large-scale repairs, and ensure public safety.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shad S. Springer, Director of Utilities
DATE: February 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving Disposal Fees for MarBorg Industries at Santa Maria Regional Landfill
Description:
The City Council will consider approving disposal fees for Marborg Industries at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving disposal fee s for Marborg Industries at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill effective January 1, 2026, July 1, 2026, and July 1, 2027.
BACKGROUND:
MarBorg Industries provides solid waste collection services in unincorporated areas of northern Santa Barbara County under a franchise agreement with the County of Santa Barbara (County). The f ranchise term began July 1, 2024, and expires June 30, 2034.
The franchise service areas include:
Zone 4: Unincorporated communities in the Santa Ynez Valley, including Los Olivos, Ballard, Santa Ynez, and surrounding rural areas. Zone 5: The unincorporated Orcutt area, including residential, commercial, and industrial customers located outside the City of Santa Maria boundaries.
Under the franchise agreement, MarBorg Industries has designated the Santa Maria Regional Landfill (SMRL) as its pr eferred disposal facility. The County has approved SMRL as a designated disposal facility for waste collected in Zones 4 and 5.
Disposal fees at SMRL are set by the City of Santa Maria (City) based on landfill operating costs, capital improvement needs, a nd a rolling five -year financial analysis intended to support long-term landfill operations. SMRL increased the disposal fee from $100 per ton to $105 per ton on January 1, 2026, consistent with rates approved by City Council.
2 County staff and MarBorg Industries staff notified the city that the increased rate of $105 per ton was not included in the County’s rate-setting process for the current rates charged to customers in Zone 4 and Zone 5 of the County.
The County requires disposal fee information to be provided annually by March so those costs can be included in franchise rates that take effect on July 1 of that year . When disposal fee changes occur after this deadline, the full cost of disposal cannot be reflected in franchise rates until the follo wing year. This can delay cost recovery and require additional administrative adjustments.
DISCUSSION:
MarBorg Industries has requested a one-time adjustment to the disposal fee schedule so that future City -approved landfill fee cha rges can be implemented on clear and predictable dates. In evaluating this request, City staff considered that MarBorg Industries delivered approximately 43,000 tons of waste to SMRL during calendar year 2025, primarily from Zone 5. That quantity of waste is a significant revenue stream for the SMRL and is considered in financial modeling for future funding. In addition, the long-term nature of the franchise agreement between MarBorg Industries and the County provides an opportunity for the City, County, and MarBorg Industries to partner on solid waste disposal in the Santa Maria Valley.
In order to provide advance d clarity on disposal rates and protect the City’s financial interests, City staff have developed a phased disposal fee schedule. The phased disposal fee schedule allows for the previous rate of $100 per ton to be maintained through the County’s current rate setting period (June 30, 2026) with an increase in the next two County rate-setting periods to address the anticipated revenue needs for the SMRL.
Proposed Disposal Fee Schedule
City staff recommends the following disposal fee schedule be charged for waste delivered by MarBorg Industries for refuse collected from the County’s Zone 4 and Zone 5 franchise service areas:
January 1, 2026 Disposal fee set at $100 per ton, consistent with prior year’s rate July 1, 2026 Disposal fee increases to $115 per ton
July 1, 2027 Disposal fee increases to $120 per ton
Alternative(s)
The City Council may:
1) Direct staff to continue implementing current disposal fees. While this maintains the existing fee structure, it is not recommended as the higher disposal rate increases the risk that MarBorg Industries may pursue alternative disposal options or request future concessions, which could reduce long-term disposal volumes and associated revenue to the City. Additionally, this would introduce uncertainty in disposal volumes at SMRL at a time when the City depends on consistent tonnage to support landfill operating costs and long-term capital planning. 3 2) Direct staff to apply a single disposal fee increase without phasing. While this increases revenue more quickly, it provides less advance notice and increases the likelihood of future adjustments or disputes, creat ing administrative and financial uncertainty for the City. A single, immediate increase may discourage continued use of SMRL by a major regional customer, increasing the risk of reduced disposal volumes and associated loss of landfill revenue.
3) Direct staff to create a separate disposal rate class for County franchise haulers.
This could address franchise timing directly but adds complexity to the City’s rate structure and increases administrative effort without a clear financial benefit to the City. Importantly, establishing a separate rate class may prompt similar requests from other landfill users, limiting the City’s flexibility in future disposal fee setting and increasing the risk of reduced revenues over time.
It is recommended to approve the proposed phased disposal fee structure for Mar Borg Industries to p rovide predictable and clearly defined disposal fee cha rges, i mprove revenue stability, avoid mid-year corrections and administrative rework, and allow the City to maintain control over landfill rat e-setting. This recommendation best supports the financial interests of the City and the long-term operation of the SMRL.
Fiscal Considerations
MarBorg Industries is a major regional user of SMRL. Disposal volumes and revenue associated with MarBorg Industries deliveries have a direct impact on landfill financial performance, supporting landfill operating costs, future capital needs, and long -term financial planning.
Impact on the Community
The proposed disposal fee structure does not change collecti on services or disposal locations for residents or businesses in unincorporated Santa Barbara County. Clear and predictable disposal fee charges reduce the likelihood of unexpected rate adjustments being passed on to customers.
Impact on the City
Approval of the proposed disposal fee structure benefits the City by increasing revenue and supporting long -term financial planning. It will also strengthen the City’s role as a reliable regional disposal facility.
