YOUTH SERVICES
Youth Center
We are pleased to report that the Youth Center continues to be a vibrant and welcoming space for local youth. A recent highlight includes a new partnership with the Santa Paula Unified School District's ASPIRE program. Youth from ASPIRE now visit the center twice a week, with city and district staff working together to foster a safe, fun, and engaging environment.
6 In addition to on-site programming, youth also had the opportunity to visit SP Fitness, where they learned how to properly and safely use various types of gym equipment. The session was both educational and hands-on, with certified trainers providing personalized guidance. This experience not only introduced participants to fitness in a supportive setting but also aligned with our broader efforts to encourage healthy habits and promote overall wellness among our youth.

Mobile Activity Center MAC
During spring break, the Parks and Recreation Department’s Mobile Activity Center (MAC) brought free, fun-filled programming to local youth—spending the first week at Teague Park and the second at Las Piedras Park. Each day, over 20 kids enjoyed sports equipment, arts and crafts, and outdoor games, with special Friday features like wagon train rides and jolly jumpers. The MAC continues to create safe, engaging spaces for kids to stay active and connected during school breaks in their local neighborhoods.
Youth Apprenticeship Readiness Accelerator (YARA)
The Parks and Recreation Department proudly supports youth development through the California PAL Youth Apprenticeship Readiness Accelerator (YARA), a 12-week preapprenticeship program in partnership with LiUNA. Designed for Santa Paula youth ages 16– 24, YARA provides hands-on training in the construction trades, covering topics such as health and safety, blueprint reading, green construction, and financial literacy.
In a historic milestone, Cohort II achieved a 100% completion rate—the first time in California PAL history that an entire cohort graduated. To support their continued success, students received toolkits donated by the local VFW and the Parks and Recreation Department, equipping them for their next steps in apprenticeship and employment.
Ventura County Youth Careers Program
The City of Santa Paula’s Parks and Recreation Department is proud to collaborate with Goodwill Industries of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties as a host site for the Ventura County Youth Careers program. This initiative—fully funded by the Employment and Training Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor through a $1,070,000 award—aims to empower local youth and cultivate the next generation of skilled professionals.
Goodwill provides no-cost programs that equip young people with the tools and training needed to build a successful future. Participants gain access to leadership development, college readiness resources, financial literacy education, tutoring, and a variety of supportive services. They also have opportunities to explore career paths, strengthen workplace skills, and earn wages through hands-on internship experiences. Through this partnership, the Parks and Recreation Department helps foster local talent and create meaningful opportunities for 7 Santa Paula’s youth to grow and lead.
During this period, we had the pleasure of hosting Serena as our intern. Each intern sets two SMART goals at the beginning of their placement, with staff support to help them achieve these objectives. Serena’s goals were to:
Design event flyers, and
Plan and host an art workshop at the Youth Center.
She successfully accomplished both, demonstrating creativity, initiative, and a commitment to community engagement.
Santa Paula High School Health and Human Services Academy Internship The City of Santa Paula is proud to host an intern from the Santa Paula High School Health and Human Services Academy as part of its ongoing commitment to expanding youth employment opportunities. This spring, Jenny has joined our team, assisting with event logistics and marketing. Her internship directly supports City Council’s goal to offer more internships and create early employment pathways for local youth—providing hands-on experience that helps prepare the next generation of community leaders.

Santa Paula Master Plan for Aging
The Santa Paula Master Plan for Aging (MPA) is in its final stages, focused on shaping a future that prioritizes the well-being of our older residents. The initial phase involves assessing the needs of seniors and identifying areas for improvement in accessibility, healthcare, and social services. The plan envisions a community where aging residents can thrive independently, and efforts are underway to build the framework needed to achieve this vision. 9 As momentum builds, the emphasis remains on establishing a strong foundation that will support a vibrant, inclusive community for Santa Paula’s aging population.
Since the last departmental report, the Senior MPA workgroup has partnered with CSUCI to develop, conduct, and analyze a comprehensive survey. This effort has been led by research students under the supervision of Dr. Ronald W. Berkowsky, PhD, ensuring that the Senior Master Plan reflects the diverse needs of our residents. To further engage the public and collect valuable data, the City hosted several community conversations as part of the study.
The project is now in its final stages. Survey responses are being reviewed, and the final Santa Paula Master Plan for Aging is scheduled to be presented to the City Council at a future meeting.
PARKS & FACILITIES
During this period our Parks & Facilities staff:

DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
WRF CDO COMPLIANCE & ADVANCED WATER TREATMENT FACILITY
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY:
Work is continuing on implementing the requirements of the Water Recycling Facility (WRF) Cease & Desist Order (CDO) and Water Discharge Requirements (WDR) Permit to achieve compliance with final chloride effluent limitations, including construction of the Advanced Water Treatment Facility (AWTF).
Current CDO Compliance Plan:
The Final Chloride Source Evaluation Technical Memorandum was issued by Larry Walker Associates (LWA) and presented to Council. Based on the data collected during sampling, the effectiveness of regulating certain businesses through a source control program was evaluated, focusing on two dialysis clinics. However, based on this analysis, source control could result in measurable chloride reductions, but the AWTF will still be necessary to achieve consistent compliance. It is difficult to control variability in discharges and a robust pretreatment program and substantial monitoring would be necessary to achieve and maintain significant source control.
City Council approved MKN & Associates’ proposal, and MKN is currently in the process of revising the AWTF ‘full’ design to a “two-phase” approach in accordance with the 13 findings of the design refinement study. Council has also authorized the use of the SRF loan funds.
First Phase of AWTF Project (redesign) Schedule NTP July 2, 2024:
A. Design and Engineering of AWTF Modifications (9-12 months) Latest Finish: June 2025
Prepare preliminary engineering report for the Phase one (1) 500-GPM AWTF.
Prepare revised drawings, specifications, and procurement documents for Phase 1 construction.
B. Construction and Installation (20-24 months) Earliest Finish: November 2026 / Latest Finish: June 2027
Competitive bidding process for construction contract. Award contract and oversee the construction and installation of Phase 1 AWTF
Conduct startup and system testing of the installed systems to ensure they meet design specifications and water quality standards. Officially commission the AWTF and begin initial operation, monitoring system performance closely
C. Evaluation and Expansion Planning (ongoing evaluation with expansion planning starting after one year of operation):
Assess the performance of the Phase 1 AWTF, including water quality improvements, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The plan for Phase 2 is based on actual flows and loadings, technological advancements, and lessons learned from Phase 1. Develop flow and chloride concentration triggers for the planning, design, and financing for Phase 2.
D. Council recently approved a contract for emergency sludge hauling, in the event that the plant’s single screw press goes down.
E. Full CDO Compliance must be achieved no later than February 8, 2028.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM
Staff recently released an RFP for design/build/own/operate services of four vehicle charging stations in the parking lot between Veteran’s Memorial Park and the Post Office. No responses were received. We now understand, from discussions with potential service providers, that the project Council envisioned was simply too small to be profitable. Several additional sites have been identified, including the Sports Park, the Triangle, and the City’s parking lot between South Alley and Yale, adjacent to Green Street. With 20 fast chargers spread between these 3 sites, a design/build/own/operate project becomes attractive to potential service providers.
Staff is also looking at opportunities to utilize solar panels to produce energy to offset energy costs at some locations. Focus is on office spaces, SCADA, and communications systems. Solar panels over the City Hall parking lot and the 14 Community Center parking lots would be prime examples. Other locations that could be improved are well and reservoir sites, where communication and security could be significantly improved. Staff is also working on replacing traditional high-voltage street lights with solar-powered LED lighting, where possible.
Staff is also involved in the early stages of a micro-grid implementation study with SCE.
It is a lengthy process, and it will be months before we know if Santa Paula will be eligible to participate.
SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT MONITORING AND CALRECYCLE
REPORTING
Staff is also monitoring SB 1383 compliance reporting for all Athens waste management services, including street sweeping services in compliance with the LARWQCB’s 2021 Regional Phase I (MS4) Permit (Order No. R4-2021-0105).
Staff is working with Athens Services to create a revised street sweeping chart. This will allow staff to post proper street sweeping information on street signs and online.
WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM (WRF AND WCS) STATUS REPORT The City’s wastewater collection system consists of approximately 60 miles of system piping that ranges in size from 6 to 24 inches in diameter. The system can collect up to
3.4 million gallons of wastewater per day and transport it for treatment at the Water Recycling Facility (WRF). The City’s last wastewater master plan update was recently completed March 2024. Capital projects of the highest priority over the next 15 years have been identified and their related costs will need to be incorporated into the upcoming 5- Year Utility Rate Study scheduled to commence June 2025.
WATER SYSTEM STATUS REPORT
The Water division provides engineering, operation and maintenance services for the City’s potable water system. The potable water system includes five groundwater wells, two treatment facilities, 10 storage facilities including 9 tanks and one reservoir. An additional three wells and three more tanks in the new EA1 development will be coming online, as completed. More than 100 miles of distribution pipelines, appurtenances, and five booster pump stations are being added to the system. This includes the 20’ Crosstown Pipeline, which will connect the wells and reservoirs in EA1 with the system west of Santa Paula Creek, providing redundancy and more consistent pressure across the City.
This division also provides an extensive water quality monitoring and reporting program in compliance with all Federal and State regulations. The City’s water master plan update is nearly complete. Capital projects of the highest priority over the next 15 years will be identified and their related costs will be incorporated into the upcoming 5-Year Utility Rate Study scheduled to commence June 2025.
FY 2025–2026/FY 2026-2027 and CYCLE 2 CITYWIDE STREET MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS
The Street Maintenance Program is an integral component of the Pavement Management Program and consists of applying crack seals, rejuvenator seals, and micro-surfacing to 15 maintain and extend the service life of City streets. With the passage of Measure R, additional funding will be available to accelerate the City’s Pavement Management Plan.
Storm Drainage
Streets with curb and gutter provide for conveyance of rainwater to storm drain inlets and into the City’s storm drainage system. Due to the age and topography of the City, limited storm drainage facilities exist, and most of these systems are more than 50 years old.
Much of these existing storm drainage systems consist of corrugated metal pipe (CMP) that has exceeded its useful life. Many of the roadway failures that have been observed in the City are a result of storm drains that have collapsed. VRSD recently “tv’d” the City’s storm drainage system. This data will allow staff to thoughtfully address the system’s problems. As the PMP moves forward, the replacement of aging storm drain inlets and pipe must be part of the program.
Telegraph Road Widening
The City’s 2040 General Plan planned classification for Telegraph Road from Harvard/Main intersection to Hallock is a 4-lane boulevard. The implementation requirements for this section of Telegraph Road according to the General Plan include widening the street to 68 feet and restriping it as a 4-lane roadway with a center left-turn lane and buffered Class II bike lanes, as well as curb, gutter, sidewalk and drainage facilities. Multiple development projects, including rental housing and retail/commercial, are either proposed or underway along Telegraph. The proposed project will address complete roadway vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle improvements design and construction with available development impact funds to ensure safety, consistency and continuity for the Telegraph Road corridor in the near term. MSN has been selected by the City, and design work is underway.
Harvard/Main/Telegraph Roundabout
On November 16, 2022, staff provided a roundabout presentation which addressed a number of potential intersection locations for roundabouts within the City. Among those considered was the intersection of Main Street, Harvard Blvd, and Telegraph Road. There are several reasons why this intersection was evaluated and deemed viable including:
• There is enough existing right-of-way to accommodate a standard 1-lane roundabout; • This is a gateway location in the City, with connectivity to both Harvard and Main Street which in turn provide access to the City’s downtown core; • The City has acquired a property at the western side of the intersection, providing additional flexibility for design, and;
• The intersection in its current configuration contains no safe means of pedestrian crossing, and a roundabout will allow for the safe integration of pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular movements.
This project would support the adopted 2040 General Plan Circulation Element and is a good opportunity to advance the goals for improving traffic circulation and pedestrian safety, reducing greenhouse gases, and improving air quality while providing a more aesthetically pleasing gateway entry into the City. MSN is also doing the design work for this project.
16 Community Bike Trail Connectivity Project
The Santa Paula Community Bike/Trail Connectivity Project extension will improve bicycle and pedestrian connectivity throughout the City from the west end of town to the east end. This would include up to 2.5 miles of new Class I bike trails in the City. The City has identified three possible trail extensions that the project team will explore during this project:
• Extend the eastern limit of the existing Class I bikeway from its terminus at 12th and Santa Barbara Street to the planned Santa Paula Street Bridge over Santa Paula Creek, which is currently in final design and permitting with the County. This will provide connectivity between the new 37-acre regional sports park and the Harvest housing development and existing destinations on the west and central portions of the City. • Create a bike trail/pathway extension from the existing bike trail pathway on N. Peck Road with the City's West End Business Park.
• Create a northern bike trail/pathway extension along the Santa Paula Creek, which would allow those who live in the adjacent neighborhoods to access the City's wider cycling network and key locations, as well as providing a safe alternative to SR150 for north/south bicycle traffic connecting to destinations in either the Harvest development or downtown destinations.
This a TDA funded project will significantly expand the existing City network of pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
Crosswalks and Crosswalk Safety
Staff is coordinating three locations on SR 150 with Caltrans for construction in FY 2024/2025. Collaborative efforts between the Caltrans design and construction team and the City to coordinate the SR 150 crosswalks at Oakdale, Virginia Terrace and Ventura Streets with their comprehensive rehabilitation project set to commence in 2025.
Construction on these locations will likely occur, pending Caltrans permitting, in late Spring or Summer 2025.

31 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Monica Castillo, City Attorney
Subject: RESOLUTION INCREASING CITY MANAGER AUTHORITY TO ALLOW,
COMPROMISE, OR SETTLE CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY TO FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS
Date: May 7, 2025
Agenda Item: 10.B
CITY OF SANTA PAULA
MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 7567 to increase the City Manager’s authority to allow, compromise, or settle claims against the City to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).
BACKGROUND:
The Government Claims Act (“Act”), codified in Government Code §§ 810 to 996.6, and Santa Paula Municipal Code (SPMC) §§ 99.01, et seq. establish the procedure for filing a lawsuit for money or damages against a government entity and/or its employees. To successfully bring a suit for money against the City or its employees, the Act and SPMC require that a claim first be filed with the City.
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (“JPIA”). Pursuant to Government Code sections 990.4 et seq. and 6500 et seq., the City pools its self-insured liability claims and losses with other JPIA members under a Memorandum of Coverage entered into on July 1, 2004. The Joint Powers Agreement creating the California JPIA authorizes it to exercise powers common to members and appropriate to defend and indemnify the City from liability claims under the Memorandum of Coverage.
The JPIA in turn contracts with the company Carl Warren to process government claims covered by the Memorandum of Coverage. Certain claims such as those seeking refunds for overcharges are not covered by the Memorandum of Coverage and are returned to the City Attorney for handling.
Absent a local ordinance or resolution, the City Council must authorize the compromise or settlement of claims against the City or its employees as prescribed under Government Code Sections 910 et seq. Government Code section 935.4 allows the City Council to authorize an employee to perform these functions.
Pursuant to this authority, the City adopted Resolution No. 6352 on October 16, 2006, 32 authorizing the City Manager (or designee) to compromise or settle claims against the City, in an amount not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) (Attachment A). The proposed Resolution would increase this amount to $50,000 and give the Finance Director or designee specific authority to pay out of City funds upon direction from the City Manager or designee (Attachment B). All other operative provisions of Resolution No. 6352 are not affected and are restated in the proposed Resolution.
ANALYSIS:
Increasing the City Manager’s (or designee’s) authority to allow, compromise or settle claims up to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) is appropriate. It has been nearly nineteen (19) years since the City Manager’s government claim settlement authority was considered. Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) would also be on par with the City Manager’s current professional services and purchasing contract authority of $50,000. SPMC 41.15. Additionally, authorizing the City Manager to settle claims at a higher value will conserve City Council members’ limited time, while still maintaining the Council’s authority to approve settlements of more substantial amounts (over $50,000).
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item does not advance a specific objective in the City's Strategic Plan. It does however support general Goal G. Operational Excellence: "Provide excellent service to the community in a cost effective manner with an engaged workforce with a focus on continuous improvement and outstanding customer service.”
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with this action. If approved, the resolution will reduce the need for council action to approve lower-cost government claim settlements or compromises along with associated staff time to place such matters on City Council agendas.
OPTIONS:
As an alterative to staff's recommendation, the City Council may:
1. Modify provisions of the proposed Resolution (Attachment B).
2. Decline to take action.
3. Take other desirable action.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA PAULA INCREASING THE CITY MANAGER’S AUTHORITY TO COMPROMISE OR SETTLE
CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY
The City Council of the City of Santa Paula resolves as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. California Government Code sections 910 set seq. establishes the procedure for filing claims against the City of Santa Paula (“City”) pursuant to the Government Claims Act (California Government Code section 810 et seq.).
B. The City is a member of a the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (“JPIA”). Pursuant to Government Code sections 990.4 et seq. and 6500 et seq., the City pools its self-insured liability claims and losses with other JPIA members under a Memorandum of Coverage (MOC) entered into on July 1, 2004.
C. The JPIA in turn contracts with the company Carl Warren to process government claims covered the by the MOC. Certain claims such as those seeking refunds for overcharges are not covered by the MOC and are returned to the City Attorney for handling.
D. Government Code section 935.4 allows the City Council, by ordinance or resolution, to authorize an employee to allow, compromise, or settle a claim against the City not to exceed $50,000.
E. On October 16, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 63525 authorizing the City Manager (or designee) to compromise or settle claims against the City, in an amount not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).
F. To align with the City Manager’s authority to authorize professional service agreements not to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) under SPMC
41.15, it is appropriate to increase the manager’s (or designee’s) government claim settlement authority to the same amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).
G. Delegating this authority to the City Manager for smaller government claim amounts promotes efficient government operations.
39 SECTION 2: In accordance with applicable law, including without limitation, Government Code section 935.4, the City Manager (or designee) is authorized to, if appropriate, and after consulting with the City Attorney, allow, compromise, or settle claims in an amount not to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00). The City’s fiscal officer (currently the Finance Director or designee) may upon written order of the City Manager (or designee) cause a warrant to be issued upon the treasury in an amount for which a claim has been allowed, compromised, or settled.
SECTION 3: Resolution No. 63525 is superseded by this Resolution and therefore repealed.
SECTION 4: This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.
SECTION 5: The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter into the book of original resolutions.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of May, 2025.

From: Jonathan Royas, Deputy City Manager
Subject: DRAFT SANTA PAULA CITY COUNCIL 2-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2025-2027
Date: May 7, 2025
Agenda Item: 11.A
CITY OF SANTA PAULA
MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Receive any public comments and provide staff feedback and direction as it relates to the draft of Council's 2025-2027 Strategic Plan (Exhibit A).
Presented by: Jonathan Royas, Deputy City Manager
BACKGROUND:
On June 21, 2023, the City Council adopted the 2023–2025 Strategic Plan ("the Plan") following an extensive development process that included input from Councilmembers, executive staff, and the public through a series of workshops. The Plan was designed to identify key community challenges and priorities, and to establish a clear roadmap for addressing them over a two-year period.
The Strategic Plan includes:
A Vision Statement
A Mission Statement
Core Values
Seven Categories:
A. Arts, Culture & Entertainment
B. Economic Development
C. Infrastructure, Transportation & Mobility
D. Connected & Healthy Community
E. Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness
F. Community Vitality
G. Operational Excellence
These categories encompass 52 objectives, some of which span multiple departments and divisions. Over the past 22 months, staff has made significant progress, providing periodic updates to the Council. As of March 19, 2025, 21 objectives were reported as complete, with 41 progress made on an additional 28 objectives.
Despite unforeseen events, staffing transitions, and the launch of new initiatives, the City remains committed to advancing the goals set forth in the Plan. In January 2025, staff and Council initiated the process to update the Strategic Plan in alignment with the City’s upcoming two-year budget cycle.
ANALYSIS:
In January 2025, the City of Santa Paula re-engaged Mulholland Consulting Group (MCG) to guide the update and development of a new two-year Strategic Plan for 2025–2027. The effort was led by Dr. Santor Nishizaki, who previously facilitated the creation of the City's 2023–2025 Strategic Plan. Building on that foundation, the updated planning process began in January 2025 and was designed to reflect the current needs, priorities, and aspirations of the City Council, staff, and the broader Santa Paula community.
Strategic Planning Process
The planning process involved multiple phases of internal and external engagement, including:
Individual Interviews: MCG conducted in-person interviews with members of the City Council and executive staff. These sessions focused on identifying emerging themes, refining strategic categories, and collecting input on proposed goals and objectives for the updated Plan.
SWOT Analysis: A comprehensive review of the existing 2023–2025 Strategic Plan was completed using a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) framework. This helped assess what objectives were successful, what barriers existed, and what areas required renewed focus.
Objective Prioritization: Through collaborative discussions, the team worked to identify and prioritize specific objectives that align with the City's evolving needs and the Council’s long-term vision.
Vision, Mission, and Values Review: Staff and Council reviewed and discussed the City’s current Vision Statement, Mission Statement, and Core Values to ensure they continue to reflect the City’s goals and community character.
Team-Building: MCG facilitated a refreshed StrengthsFinder workshop with City Council and newly hired staff.
Community and Business Engagement
A central component of the Strategic Plan update was ensuring robust community and stakeholder input. To achieve this, the City implemented a multi-channel outreach strategy that included:
Public Notification: Strategic Plan engagement opportunities were promoted via the City’s social media platforms, the City newsletter, the Santa Paula Times, and through Spectrum Channel 10 to ensure broad public awareness.
42 Workshops and Accessibility: Five public workshops were held at accessible locations and times, with Spanish-language interpretation provided to ensure participation from Santa Paula’s diverse community. Residents had the opportunity to share feedback directly with City leadership.
Online Survey Engagement: The City launched its first-ever dedicated Strategic Plan webpage featuring an online survey. A total of 77 individual submissions were received, generating over 1,400 survey responses—providing valuable insight into residents’ priorities and perspectives.
Business Community Input: Three targeted roundtable tabletop exercises were held with local businesses to understand the specific challenges and opportunities facing the commercial sector. Combined attendance across these sessions totaled just over 100 participants.
Public Engagement Timeline and Sessions
Business Roundtable Meetings:
January 30, 2025 – Glen Tavern Inn (9:00 AM – 10:30 AM) March 20, 2025 – Flight 126 Café (Harvard Blvd.) (9:00 AM – 10:30 AM) March 27, 2025 – Glen Tavern Inn (9:00 AM – 10:30 AM)
Council Strategic Planning Workshops:
March 31, 2025 – Vision & Priorities Workshop #1
Flight 126 Café | 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM
April 1, 2025 – Vision & Priorities Workshop #2
Community Center Auditorium | 5:30 PM – 9:00 PM
During these sessions, the Council and staff engaged in detailed discussions to review and vet each strategic category, proposed objective, tasks, and resource implications.
Budget Impacts
Each objective identified in the draft Strategic Plan includes a budget impact description, where applicable. These impacts are categorized as:
Monetary Costs: Estimated financial resources required to carry out specific objectives, including goods, services, contractor fees, and materials.
Staff Time: Estimated staff capacity and hours needed to implement objectives that may not have direct financial costs but still require significant staff involvement.
Following the workshops, staff conducted a thorough internal review to estimate the anticipated costs and staffing needs for each objective over the upcoming two-year period. It is important to note that the figures provided in Exhibit A are estimates, subject to change, and 43 do not imply that those items are or will be budgeted for FY25-27 at the figures provided.
Draft 2025–2027 Strategic Plan
The attached draft Strategic Plan includes the following components:
Vision Statement
Mission Statement
Core Values
Six Strategic Objective Areas:
A. Arts, Culture, and Entertainment
B. Economic Development
C. Infrastructure, Transportation & Mobility
D. Healthy, Connected & Thriving Community
E. Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness
F. Operational Excellence
The draft contains 49 strategic objectives. Many objectives intersect across multiple categories, highlighting the importance of cross-departmental coordination and collaboration. Where applicable, objectives connected to the City’s General Plan or Housing Element are denoted with an asterisk (*) and include references to the relevant planning documents. These ensure alignment with state and local requirements, especially for goals that require action in the near term.
It should be noted that at this time, objectives are not listed in order of priority, allowing the Council to provide direction.
Next Steps
This evening, staff is requesting Council review and provide direction on the draft Strategic Plan, including:
Review of draft goals and objectives
Feedback on estimated budget impacts and metrics
Guidance on refinements prior to final adoption
Following Council feedback, staff will return with a finalized version of the Strategic Plan, which will include:
A summary of updates from the 2023–2025 Plan
A milestone-based progress tracking tool for reporting objective completion A list of “Parking Lot” items—lower-priority or long-term ideas for future consideration A resolution for formal adoption by the City Council
STRATEGIC PLAN:
44 The City Council’s Strategic Plan serves as a guiding framework that aligns the City’s goals, resources, and actions with community priorities. It ensures transparent, goal-oriented decision-making while promoting accountability and progress across all departments.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no direct costs associated with the adoption of the Strategic Plan. Specific objectives contained within the plan may have direct fiscal impacts, which will either need to be incorporated into the FY 2025-27 budget, or approved by Council once a budget has been developed and a project is ready for Council’s authorization.
PERSONNEL IMPACTS:
It is important to understand that the vast majority of time spent by City staff is dedicated to mandated, routine and/or responsive tasks. Especially in Santa Paula where staff ratios are extremely burdened and there is limited ability to pursue new initiatives, the capacity to complete the objectives contained in the Strategic Goals may be constrained.
OPTIONS:
City Council has the following options available:
1. Accept the 2025-2027 Strategic Plan as written and direct staff to return with an adopting resolution;
2. Direct staff to make additional revisions to the proposed 2025-2027 Strategic Plan based on City Council’s feedback and return with a final version and adopting resolution;
3. Conduct additional Study Sessions to further discuss the proposed 2025-2027 Strategic Plan; or
4. Reject an update to the 2025-2027 Strategic Plan altogether.

Subject: ORDINANCE AMENDING SANTA PAULA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 130 FIREWORKS
Date: May 7, 2025
Agenda Item: 11.B
CITY OF SANTA PAULA
MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Introduce, read by title only, and waive first reading of Ordinance No. 1344 entitled: AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA PAULA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING CHAPTER 103 OF THE SANTA PAULA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING
FIREWORKS
Presented by City Attorney Monica Castillo
BACKGROUND:
In recent years, the City of Santa Paula has seen an increase in the discharge of illegal fireworks. Illegal fireworks threaten neighboring properties, increase 911 response times for all emergencies, and increase the risk of fire-related property damage and personal injury. In response to resident concerns, the City Council has expressed interest in strengthening the City’s fireworks enforcement capacity.
Southern California is continually experiencing drought conditions which acerbates the danger of wildfires. The National Fire Protection Association reports that more than 19,000 fires in the United States are caused by fireworks. The use of fireworks poses a significant threat of causing a major fire disaster within the City.
Apart from the fire hazards and the strain responding to fireworks-related emergencies has on City public safety resources, the noise from fireworks negatively impacts the quality of life of many City residents. The sound of fireworks can particularly affect infants, the elderly, and people with post-traumatic stress disorder. Animals are also often frightened by fireworks, pets sometimes escape from their owners because of the noise.
On August 19, 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1300, adding Chapter 103 (Fireworks) to the Santa Paula Municipal Code. Chapter 103 established comprehensive penalties for fireworks-related violations and incorporates by reference an administrative fine schedule adopted by resolution. Accordingly, on the same day, Council adopted Resolution 59 No. 7293 setting forth the administration citation fine amounts for violations of the ordinance (Attachment B).
The City has faced challenges enforcing the fireworks ordinance because it is unable to catch violators of the ordinance in the act. Illegal fireworks are often ignited from locations that are not visible from the public right-of-way, so the City’s law enforcement has trouble identifying the specific individual discharging or possessing the fireworks.
Another challenge the City faces when enforcing the fireworks ordinance is its inability to deter and punish violators. As discussed further below, to deter offenders, staff will be returning at the next meeting with a resolution to increase administrative citations fines.
ANALYSIS:
To address these difficulties, the proposed Ordinance (Attachment A) amends Chapter 103 of the SPMC.
Amendments Clarifying Persons Strictly Liable
The proposed Ordinance makes substantive changes to Section 103.05 (Strict Liability For Unlawful Ignition, Use, Discharge or Display of Fireworks By Another Person). The current Fireworks Ordinance provides that “any reasonable person” can be held strictly liable for the unlawful ignition of fireworks on his or her property. The proposed Ordinance replaces “[a]ny reasonable person” with “[a]ny property owner or person in control of property, such as a tenant,” and attempts to make the exception that tenants of a multifamily residential property are exempt for violations that occur in the common areas of the property easier to understand.
These changes eliminate the ambiguity of who can be subject to strict liability.
The proposed Ordinance also updates the definitions for the following terms:
Fire Chief is now defined as “[t]he Ventura County Fire Protection District Division Chief, or any successor title given, whose jurisdiction includes the City of Santa Paula.” Tenant is now defined as “[a] person who has the right to use, possess, or occupy a unit or space under a lease, rental agreement, or contract.” Minor is now defined as “a person under 18 years old.”
Administrative Citation Fines
At the May 21, 2025 Council meeting, Council will be asked to consider updating the fine schedule for administrative citations issued for fireworks violations. Staff proposes doubling the administrative citation fines as follows:
$1,000 for the first violation;
$1,500 for the second violation of the same code section by the same person within 12 months of the first violation; and
$2,000 for the third violation and each subsequent violation of the same code section by the same person within 12 months from the second or most recent violation.
These are reasonable amounts compared to the fee schedule for fireworks violations in other cities in Ventura County. The cities of Oxnard, Port Hueneme, and Ventura all charge up to $1,000 per offense related to dangerous fireworks and have a fee schedule in which the fine increases for each violation of the cities’ safe and sane fireworks ordinances within a twelve 60 month period. Oxnard and Port Hueneme both charge $250 dollars for the first violation, $500 for the second, and $1,000 for each violation after that. Ventura’s fee schedule starts at $132 for the first violation, $264 for the second violation, and $396 for each subsequent violation.
The City of Fillmore only uses a flat fine of $2,000 per offense related to dangerous fireworks.
The fines in other parts of Southern California are even higher; an offender in the City of Anaheim would have to pay $3,000 for the third offense within a twelve-month period.
Raising the administrative citation fines by twice the amount could be a significant deterrent to any would-be violators.
Property Liens to Collect Delinquent Fines
In addition to increased fines and expanding the group of persons who are strictly liable, staff investigated the option to record liens on violator properties for delinquent fines. This option was not recommended by the City Attorney’s office. A Ninth Circuit court decision prohibits cities from attaching a lien or imposing an assessment against property for unpaid administrative fines. Mechammil v. City of San Jacinto , 653 Fed. Appx. 562 (9th Cir. 2016) [unpublished].
Though liens cannot be used to recover unpaid administrative fines, the City may record a lien on a violator’s property for unpaid nuisance abatement costs charged against a violator; to do so, the City must adopt a lien procedure to collect these costs. Gov. Code §§ 38773, 38773.1, & 38773.5.
The City’s lien procedure is set forth in SPMC §§ 14.25 – 14.39. City Council has also declared violation of the City's fireworks ordinance a nuisance. SPMC § 103.99(B). As such, a lien may be recorded for the reasonable costs incurred to respond to the discharge of fireworks. For example, SPMC § 103.99(E) permits the City to charge violators “a reasonable amount which is sufficient to cover the cost of transporting, storing, handling, and disposing of the seized fireworks.”
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item does not advance a specific objective in the City's Strategic Plan. It does however support general Goal E: "Create an environment within the City in which our residents feel safe and which promotes the City as a location of choice for living, working, visiting and recreating."
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no adverse fiscal impacts associated with this item. Increased administrative citation fines creates a potential for more revenues, albeit the purpose of this ordinance is to abate a nuisance, not raise revenues. Enforcement costs such as carrying out the lien procedure and documenting incurred costs may however reduce any net gain in revenue.
OPTIONS:
In addition to Staff’s recommendation, the City Council may:
1. Direct staff to modify proposed Ordinance No. 1344.
2. Decline to move forward with adoption of the proposed Ordinance at this time. 61 3. Offer any other approaches to curtailing the illegal discharge of fireworks.
