Seal Beach City Council
June 8, 2026

REVENUE ASSUMPTION
Property Tax – Property tax revenues are expected to grow by 4.3 percent in FY 2026-27 over the prior year and projections are expected to grow 3.4 percent each year over the five-year forecast. Property tax assumptions were prepared in partnership with the City’s consultant HdL, a consulting firm that specializes in property tax analysis. HdL Property Tax provided an in-depth presentation to the City which included future assumptions. Seal Beach’s residential real estate market remains strong, with the assessed property value increasing by 5.41% over the prior year. The City’s assessed valuation for the roll is $7.9 billion. Limited inventory, coastal appeal, and steady sales throughout the City continue to drive reassessments and boost property tax revenues. As new construction is historically very limited, the sale and reassessment of existing properties accounts for most growth in the property tax base. The median home prices for single family residence is trending at $1.7 million.

Sales Tax – Sales tax is comprised of the Bradely-Burns local sales tax rate as well as the transaction and use tax approved through Measure BB and Measure GG. HdL lowered the City’s sales tax forecast this year due to a slowdown in economic activity and cautious consumer spending, particularly on big-ticket discretionary items, and reductions in consumer goods and restaurants. The City has worked closely with HdL on the forecast noting the economy continues to struggle with discretionary spending, mostly in consumer goods. However, HdL’s outlook is showing a downward trend compared to last fiscal year but then will see strong growth in FY 2027-28 and a relatively positive outlook in in sales tax revenue in the following years, increasing approximately 3.4 percent over the forecast.

Utility Users Tax – Utility Users tax is expected to decline 0.2 percent over the previous fiscal year; this decline is expected notably due to the decreasing costs from the previous surge in electricity. Average growth in the five year is

0.5 percent, as the City has reached peak levels and are seeing rebates which are offsetting this revenue source.

Transient Occupancy Tax – Transient occupancy tax has continuously exceeded expectations. Although it appears in the forecast to be growing, it is budgeted at historical performance. Going forward it is expected to remain relatively flat as the hospitality industry in Seal Beach is at capacity. The forecast assumes inflation and a slight uptick from compliance of online platforms for reporting. With only three hotels in town, occupancy remains consistently high due to spillover demand from surrounding areas. However, the small number of lodging options limits the City’s ability to grow TOT revenue, even with steady visitor interest.

STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN/FIVE-YEAR FY 2026-2031
Franchise Fees – While there may be some fluctuations in franchise fee revenue due to changes in energy usage and other factors, the City does not expect to see any significant increases or decreases.

Charges For Services – Includes refuse, parking meters, planning and plan check fees, tennis center services, and recreation fees and shows a growth of 16.9 percent due in part to increases in the use of the Tennis and Pickleball Center and planning and plan check fees. This also includes the increases at the beach lots from the previous budget.

Other Revenues – Other revenues include licenses and permits, intergovernmental, fines and forfeitures, use of money and property and other revenues. These revenues are less susceptible to economic changes and often include one-time revenues. Fines and Forfeitures remain flat as it is important to note that citations are not viewed or used as a source of revenue for the City. Our primary goal is always to promote public safety and quality of life through education and responsible enforcement. Other revenues are expected to see relatively flat growth overall.

EXPENDITURE ASSUMPTIONS
Regular Salaries and Benefits – Regular salary expenditures increased by 3% and appear relatively flat in the current budget; however, this trend is primarily driven by recent employee turnover rather than a lack of growth in staffing or services as well as many of the positions in the City are at step 5. As positions have been refilled, many new employees have entered at the lower end of the salary range, which temporarily reduces overall salary costs. In addition, these newer employees are enrolled in the PEPRA tier of CalPERS, which has a different cost structure compared to legacy “Classic” members. As these employees progress through salary steps over time, regular salary expenditures are expected to increase in future years.

Retirement – This amount includes the projection for required increases estimated by CalPERS to pay down the unfunded actuarial liabilities of all plans. The City anticipates a 7.5% increase in retirement costs for FY 2026-27. This is lower than the prior year’s increase of 11.9% and is primarily due to changes implemented by CalPERS (California Public Employees' Retirement System) offset by strong investment earnings. These changes include a reduction in the discount rate from 7% to 6.8%, which increases the City's required contributions to employee pensions offset by

11.6% investment returns in 2024-25. Additionally, the City has made two $250,000 discretionary payments to CalPERS, further strengthening its investment in employees’ long-term retirement security. The budget includes a third discretionary payment, demonstrating the City’s continued commitment to supporting its workforce.

Other Pay & Benefits – Other Pay and Benefits includes all part-time salaries, special pay items, health benefits and other payroll related items. These estimates fluctuate based on the individual benefits. Other Pay and Benefits decreased by 2.9 percent from the prior year, driven primarily by reductions in overtime. Future years have a steady anticipated growth of 6.3% mostly due to insurance costs.

Fire Services: The City’s contracts for Fire services with Orange County Fire Authority remained flat over the prior year due to the end of their pension snowball plan. Over the outlook it is anticipated to remain at 4.5% and is anticipated to continue this growth on average through the forecast due to increased service costs and recent Memorandum of Understanding Negotiations with their respective bargaining groups.

Insurance: The City contracts with the California Joint Power Insurance Authority (CJPIA) for General Liability, Property Insurance, and Worker’s Compensation. CJPIA costs grew 7.2 percent over the prior year. Assumptions can change as increased labor and contract costs are anticipated to rise.

Maintenance and Operations – This category includes day-to-day operating costs of the City. The largest items are equipment and materials, facilities maintenance, consulting, training, and contract professional. The assumptions for these costs vary depending on the account, however they are based on factors such as the consumer price index, utility cost increase estimates, and increase in contract renewal.

Transfers – These costs vary based on subsidies needed to fund operations of other funds. 330

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations determined by most recent published International Code Council (ICC) Building Valuation Table or by Contractors signed contract. Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.

Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section F, additional fees apply for permit processing. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), Technology Enhancement Fees, and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

SEWER AND WATER CONNECTION CHARGES
Activity Description Fee Charge Basis Note
[c] Connection charges shall be determined by the City Engineer and approved by City Council at the time of development or request. [a] Fee is determined based on the new or net upsized water service meter connection and is also applied to the sewer rates for services within the Seal Beach service boundary. Sewer rates are calculated using the value of the existing system that is not subject to replacement through the existing Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program and the total annual water use by sewer system customers in billing units.

Beginning July 1, 2002 and every July 1st thereafter, the fee may automatically increase by an amount calculated using the following formula – multiply the most recent fee in effect by the percentage increase over the previous 12 months immediately preceding the most recent publication of the Engineering News Record of Construction Cost Index existing on July 1st of the year of the increase. [b] For services that have never been connected or paid into the system, fees are calculated using the value of the existing system that is not subject to replacement through an existing Capital Improvement Project (CIP) program and the total annual water use by system customers in billing units. Beginning July 1, 2002 and every July 1st thereafter, the fee may automatically increase by an amount calculated using the following formula – multiply the most recent fee in effect by the percentage increase over the previous 12 months immediately preceding the most recent publication of the Engineering News Record of Construction Cost Index existing on July 1st of the year of the increase. 362 28

Calculation of Appropriations Subject to Propositions XIIIB Limit For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2027
FY 2026-2027
The voters of California approved Article XIII - B of the California State Constitution also known as Proposition 4, or the "Gann Initiative". The proposition restricts the total amount of appropriations allowed in any given fiscal year from the "proceeds of taxes". In 1980, the State Legislature added a section of the Government Code that required the governing body of each local jurisdiction to establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The appropriations limit for any fiscal year was equal to the previous year's limit, adjusted for population changes and the change in the U.S.

Consumer Price Index or California per Capita Personal Income if smaller.

In June 1990, the voters modified the original Proposition 4 with the passage of Proposition 111 and its implementing legislation. Beginning with the 1990-91 Appropriations Limit, a City may choose annual adjustment factors. The adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth within the County or the City.

Under Proposition 4, if a city ends the fiscal year having more proceeds of taxes than the Limit allows, it must return the excess to the taxpayers within two years.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS FY 2026-2027

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 8, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM: Barbara Arenado, Director of Finance/City Treasurer SUBJECT: Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7786 confirming the diagram, assessment, and levying assessments for the Seal Beach Street Lighting Assessment District No.1 (District) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

At the May 11, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution initiating the annual levy of assessments, a resolution approving the Engineer’s Report and a resolution of intention setting the date for the public hearing on June 8, 2026.

Assessments for the District are being levied for the following improvements:

A) The maintenance and servicing of arterial street lights which provide an area wide special benefit to all assessable parcels within the district whether or not such parcels are in close proximity to such lights; and, B) The maintenance and servicing of streetlights in close proximity to certain lots and parcels that provides a local special benefit to such lots or parcels.

The total assessment for each parcel reflects a combination of the area wide and local special benefit received by the parcel. The amount of special benefit in each category for residential parcels varies depending on the type of dwelling, e.g. whether single family or multiple units. Non-residential parcels are assessed an area wide special benefit based on square footage and a local special benefit based on front footage.

The assessment for each parcel of property in the district is based upon the benefit derived from street lighting. Total estimated costs for providing street lighting for 2026-2027 are $279,923, which includes utility costs of $270,000, assessment engineer costs of $9,500, and a County fee of $423. The Reserve Fund is

estimated to be $0.00 as of June 30, 2026. Therefore, in order to cover the estimated Fiscal Year 2026-2027 expenditures of $279,923, the total revenues required are $140,992 in assessments plus a General Fund contribution of $138,931.

A comparison of the last two years’ assessments to the proposed assessment is summarized in the following table:
2024-25 2025-26 2026-27
Zone 1 Single family homes in College
Park East & West, the Hill & Cove Areas $21.86 $21.86 $21.86 Zone 2 Single family homes in Old Town $11.26 $11.26 $11.26 Zone 3 Leisure World Condominiums $ 1.21 $ 1.21 $ 1.21
Zone 4 Surfside $ 4.15 $ 4.15 $ 4.15
Actual assessments may be found in the Engineer’s Report on file in the Office of the City Clerk.

Before the end of the hearing, any interested person may file a written protest with the City Clerk, or, having previously filed a protest may file a written withdrawal of that protest. A written protest shall state all grounds of objection. Protest by a property owner shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property.

State law requires that all interested persons shall be afforded the opportunity to hear and be heard at the public hearing and that the Council shall consider all oral and written communications. The statute allows Council Members to order changes during the course of the hearing. These changes may relate to any of the matters proposed in the report. All changes must be reflected in the Resolution confirming the diagram and assessment.

THRU: Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM: Barbara Arenado, Director of Finance/City Treasurer SUBJECT: Approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Special Taxes for Community Facilities District No. 2002-01 (Heron Pointe) ________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7787 approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Special Taxes for Community Facilities District No. 2002-01 (Heron Pointe).

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

On September 23, 2002, the City approved the establishment of Community Facilities District (CFD) 2002-01 known as Heron Pointe (“the District”) and approved Ordinance No. 1490 authorizing the levy of special taxes within the District. However, the development was faced with various delays related to the discovery of a Native American burial site within the District’s boundaries. As a result, final California Coastal Commission approval was not received until July 2005. Immediately upon receipt of final approval, the City issued $3,985,000 of CFD Bonds to fund the cost of various improvements within the District. Per the Official Statement dated June 5, 2015, the City issued $3,480,000 Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2015 and scheduled the outstanding amount of the CFD Bonds issued in 2005 to be redeemed in full.

The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to calculate special taxes for the District for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The special taxes collected are considered special revenue. Special revenue sources are legally restricted to specific purposes. As a result, this special tax is not included in the General Fund revenues.

The special taxes will satisfy debt service on the Bonds. The method of assessment for the special taxes is described in the Amended Rate and Method of Apportionment section of the CFD Report prepared by contractor Taussig and Associates and was submitted to Council on January 12, 2004. The method of assessment defines two primary categories of property: Developed Property and Undeveloped Property. The category of Developed Property is further divided into five separate special tax classifications that vary with land use (e.g., residential

and non-residential) and floor area (in square feet). The FY 2026-2027 maximum and actual special taxes per unit/acre are listed as follows:

4 Residential < 3,500 SF $ 5,570.80 $ 0.00
5 Non-Residential NA $51,169.73 $ 0.00
N/A Undeveloped NA $57,345.15 $ 0.00
Exhibit A of the Resolution shows the FY 2026-2027 special tax levy for each parcel being taxed.

Total expenditures for FY 2026-2027 are estimated at $272,272.88. This estimate includes debt service payments of $248,181.26 and administrative expenses of $24,091.62. Total revenues from the special tax are estimated at $272,272.24 for FY 2026-2027. There is a small variance of $0.64 in total expenditures to total revenue due to a County submittal requirement that charges must be even and divisible by two. No credit will be applied to the levy this fiscal year.

________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7788 approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Special Tax Levy for Community Facilities District No. 2002-02 (Seal Beach Blvd./Lampson Ave. Landscape Maintenance District).

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

In July 2003, the City Council authorized a special tax to be levied within the Communities Facilities District No. 2002-02 known as Seal Beach Boulevard/Lampson Avenue Landscape Maintenance (“the District”). The special tax is levied against parcels on the east side of Seal Beach Boulevard to Lampson Avenue beginning north of the I-405 Freeway off-ramp and ending at the City limits.

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 annual special tax is being increased from the prior fiscal year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area, as measured between March of 2025 and March of 2026. Only parcels located within the established District are charged this special tax for landscape maintenance. The special tax is calculated per gross land acreage multiplied by the land area of the parcel. The special tax rates for each area of the District are illustrated as follows:

________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7789 approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Special Tax Levy For Community Facilities District No. 2005-01 (Pacific Gateway Business Center).

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

In January 2006, the City approved the establishment of Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2005-01 known as the Pacific Gateway Business Center (“the District”). On February 13, 2006, the City Council approved Ordinance 1542 levying the special taxes within the District. Subsequently, in May 2006 the City issued $8,800,000 of CFD Bonds to fund the costs of various improvements within the District. Per the Official Statement dated January 6, 2016, the City issued $8,450,000 Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2016 and scheduled the outstanding amount of the CFD Bonds issued in 2006 to be redeemed in full.

The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to calculate the special taxes for the District for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027. The special taxes collected are considered special revenue. Special revenue sources are legally restricted to specific purposes. As a result, this special tax is not included in the General Fund revenues.

Special taxes were segregated into two groups: A and B. Special Tax A will satisfy debt service on the Bonds (“Debt Service”) and Special Tax B will satisfy costs related to the maintenance of parks, parkways and open space within the District (“Landscape Maintenance”). Exhibit “A” of the resolution shows the FY 2026-2027 special tax levy for each parcel being taxed.

The method of assessment for Special Taxes A & B is described in the Rate and Method of Apportionment section of the Official Statement. The method of

assessment defines two primary categories of property: Developed Property and Undeveloped Property. Special Tax A allows for a maximum assessment rate of $22,284.84 per Acre on Developed Property within the District. This rate is to be increased by an amount equal to two percent (2%) annually. The FY 2026-2027 maximum and actual Special Tax A per Acre is listed as follows:

Developed and Undeveloped Property

Actual Special Tax A
per Acre
Developed Property $22,284.84 $13,939.98
Undeveloped Property $22,571.30 $0.00
Total expenditures for FY 2026-2027 are estimated at $626,323.35. This estimate includes debt service payments of $581,450.00 and administrative expenses of $44,873.35. Total revenues from Special Tax A are estimated at $626.323.26 for FY 2026-2027. There is a small variance of $0.09 in total expenditures to total revenue due to a County submittal requirement that charges must be even and divisible by two. No credit will be applied to the levy this fiscal year.

The maximum Landscape Maintenance special tax rate for FY 2026-2027 is $3,520.89 per Acre within the District. This rate is to be increased by an amount equal to two percent (2%) annually. The FY 2026-2027 maximum and actual Special Tax B per Acre are listed as follows:

________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7790 approving the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Statement of Investment Policy and Delegation of Authority to the Director of Finance/City Treasurer.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

As a best practice, the Statement of Investment Policy (Policy) should be reviewed and approved by City Council on an annual basis. Additionally, there is a requirement in the Government Code for the delegation by the City Council to the Director of Finance/City Treasurer to occur annually. To ensure that this annual requirement occurs, the Policy will need to be brought before the City Council each year regardless of whether there are any proposed changes to the Policy.

PFM Asset Management (PFMAM), the City’s Investment Management consultants, has reviewed the current Statement of Investment Policy for compliance with the California Government Codes that regulate the investment of public funds. Two changes have been recommended to be incorporated into the policy.

1. Per Senate Bill 858, PFMAM has recommended extending the maturity in commercial paper from 270 to 397 days. The change will align with SEC Rule 2a-7 further enhancing investment flexibility and consistency.

2. Per Senate Bill 827 and Code Section 53238.2, PFMAM has recommended adding language pertaining to fiscal and financial training for local agency current officials by January 1, 2028, and new officials within six months of assuming their role, with refresher training at least once biennially thereafter.

Therefore, we are requesting approval to update policy for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

There is no environmental impact related to this item.

The City Attorney has reviewed the resolution and the revisions to the Statement of Investment Policy to confirm the compliance with the applicable government codes.

1 CITY OF SEAL BEACH
Statement of Investment Policy
SECTION 1 – POLICY
This Statement of Investment Policy is intended to identify the policies for prudent investment of temporarily idle funds of the City of Seal Beach (the “City”) by providing guidelines for suitable investments while maximizing the efficiency of the City’s Cash Management Program.

The City’s Cash Management Program is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the investment of funds to the fullest extent possible.

The investment policies and practices of the City of Seal Beach are based upon state law and prudent money management. All funds will be invested in accordance with California Government Code Sections 53601 et seq. and the City’s Investment Policy.

SECTION 2 – SCOPE
The Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the City except the investment of bond proceeds, which are governed by the appropriate bond documents, and any pension or other post-employment benefit funds held in a trust.

SECTION 3 – PRUDENCE
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials will be the “prudent investor” standard, which states that, “when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.” 2 SECTION 4 – OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the investment activities of the City are:

1. SAFETY – Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Seal Beach.

2. LIQUIDITY – The City’s portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements. It is important that the portfolio contain investments which provide the ability of being easily sold at any time with minimal risk of loss of principal or interest.

3. YIELD – The City’s portfolio will be designed to attain a market rate of return through economic cycles consistent with the constraints imposed by its safety objective and cash flow considerations.

SECTION 5 – DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53607, the City Council has delegated its investment authority and the management responsibility for the investment program to the Director of Finance/City Treasurer for a period of one year concurrently with the City Council’s adoption of this Investment Policy. This delegation of investment authority is subject to review and annual renewal by the City Council in its discretion, which annual renewal may be made by the City Council in connection with its annual budget adoption or an amendment to this Investment Policy, or at such other time as appropriate and convenient. The Director of Finance/City Treasurer will monitor and review all investments for consistency with this Investment Policy. The Director of Finance/City Treasurer may grant investment decision making and execution authority to an investment advisor, provided that the Director of Finance/City Treasurer exercises prudence in the selection of the investment advisor, imposes suitable safeguards to prevent abuse in the exercise of discretion by the investment advisor, and remains responsible for any investment decisions made by the investment advisor.

SECTION 6 – INVESTMENT PROCEDURES
The Director of Finance/City Treasurer will establish investment procedures for the operation of the City’s investment program.

SECTION 7 – ETHICS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The Director of Finance/City Treasurer will investigate all institutions that wish to do business with the City, to determine if they are adequately capitalized, make markets in securities appropriate for the City’s needs, and agree to abide by the conditions set forth in the City of Seal Beach’s Investment Policy and any other guidelines that may be provided. This will be done annually by having the financial institutions:

1. Provide written notification that they have read, and will abide by, the City’s Investment Policy.

2. Submit their most recent audited Financial Statement within 120 days of the institution’s fiscal year end.

9 Glossary
Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) are securities whose income payments and hence value is derived from and collateralized (or "backed") by a specified pool of underlying assets which are receivables. Pooling the assets into financial instruments allows them to be sold to general investors, a process called securitization, and allows the risk of investing in the underlying assets to be diversified because each security will represent a fraction of the total value of the diverse pool of underlying assets. The pools of underlying assets can comprise common payments credit cards, auto loans, mortgage loans, and other types of assets. Interest and principal is paid to investors from borrowers who are paying down their debt.

Bankers’ Acceptances are short-term credit arrangements to enable businesses to obtain funds to finance commercial transactions. They are time drafts drawn on a bank by an exporter or importer to obtain funds to pay for specific merchandise. By its acceptance, the bank becomes primarily liable for the payment of the draft at maturity.

An acceptance is a high-grade negotiable instrument.

Broker-Dealer is a person or a firm who can act as a broker or a dealer depending on the transaction. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission. They do not take a position. A dealer acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and selling for his own account.

Certificates Of Deposit

1. Negotiable Certificates of Deposit are large-denomination CDs. They are issued at face value and typically pay interest at maturity, if maturing in less than 12 months. CDs that mature beyond this range pay interest semi-annually.

Negotiable CDs are issued by U.S. banks (domestic CDs), U.S. branches of foreign banks (Yankee CDs), and thrifts. There is an active secondary market for negotiable domestic and Yankee CDs. However, the negotiable thrift CD secondary market is limited. Yields on CDs exceed those on U.S. treasuries and agencies of similar maturities. This higher yield compensates the investor for accepting the risk of reduced liquidity and the risk that the issuing bank might fail.

State law does not require the collateralization of negotiable CDs.

2. Non-negotiable Certificates of Deposit are time deposits with financial institutions that earn interest at a specified rate for a specified term. Liquidation of the CD prior to maturity incurs a penalty. There is no secondary market for these instruments, therefore, they are not liquid. They are classified as public deposits, and financial institutions are required to collateralize them. Collateral may be waived for the portion of the deposits that are covered by FDIC insurance. 10 Collateral refers to securities, evidence of deposits, or other property that a borrower pledges to secure repayment of a loan. It also refers to securities pledged by a bank to secure deposits. In California, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and public deposits must be collateralized.

Commercial Paper is a short term, unsecured, promissory note issued by a corporation to raise working capital.

Federal Agency Obligations are issued by U.S. Government Agencies or Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE). Although they were created or sponsored by the U.S.

Government, most Agencies and GSEs are not guaranteed by the United States Government. Examples of these securities are notes, bonds, bills and discount notes issued by Fannie Mae (FNMA), Freddie Mac (FHLMC), the Federal Home Loan Bank system (FHLB), and Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB). The Agency market is a very large and liquid market, with billions traded every day.

Issuer means any corporation, governmental unit, or financial institution that borrows money through the sale of securities.

Liquidity refers to the ease and speed with which an asset can be converted into cash without loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the difference between the bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonably sized trades can be done at those quotes.

Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a special fund in the State Treasury that local agencies may use to deposit funds for investment. There is no minimum investment period and the minimum transaction is $5,000, in multiples of $1,000 above that, with a maximum of $65 million for any California public agency. It offers high liquidity because deposits can be converted to cash in twenty-four hours and no interest is lost. All interest is distributed to those agencies participating on a proportionate share determined by the amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited.

Interest is paid quarterly via direct deposit to the agency’s LAIF account. The State keeps an amount for reasonable costs of making the investments, not to exceed onequarter of one per cent of the earnings.

Market Value is the price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold.

Maturity is the date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and payable.

Medium-Term Notes are debt obligations issued by corporations and banks, usually in the form of unsecured promissory notes. These are negotiable instruments that can be bought and sold in a large and active secondary market. For the purposes of California Government Code, the term “Medium Term” refers to a maximum remaining maturity of five years or less. They can be issued with fixed or floating-rate coupons, and with or 11 without early call features, although the vast majority are fixed-rate and non-callable.

Corporate notes have greater risk than Treasuries or Agencies because they rely on the ability of the issuer to make payment of principal and interest.

Money Market Fund is a type of investment comprising a variety of short-term securities with high quality and high liquidity. The fund provides interest to shareholders. Prior to amendments to the money market fund regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2014, all money market funds were required to strive to maintain a stable net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. Following the 2014 money market fund reform, certain money market funds are required to sell and redeem shares based on the current market-based value of the securities in their underlying portfolios rounded to the fourth decimal place (i.e., transact at a floating or fluctuating net asset value (NAV)). Accordingly, money market funds available today may be either a floating NAV money market fund or a stable NAV money market fund.

Principal describes the original cost of a security. It represents the amount of capital or money that the investor pays for the investment.

Repurchase Agreements are short-term investment transactions. Banks buy temporarily idle funds from a customer by selling him U.S. Government or other securities with a contractual agreement to repurchase the same securities on a future date at an agreed upon interest rate. Repurchase Agreements are typically for one to ten days in maturity. The customer receives interest from the bank. The interest rate reflects both the prevailing demand for Federal Funds and the maturity of the Repo.

Repurchase Agreements must be collateralized.

Supranationals are securities issued or unconditionally guaranteed by multi-lateral international financial institutions whose member nations contribute capital and participate in management.

U.S. Treasury Issues are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are highly liquid and are considered the safest investment security. U.S. Treasury issues include:

1. Treasury Bills which are non-interest-bearing discount securities issued by the U.S. Treasury to finance the national debt. Bills are currently issued in 4-week, 8- week, 13-week, 26-week, and 52-week maturities.

2. Treasury Notes that have original maturities of one to ten years.

3. Treasury Bonds that have original maturities of greater than 10 years.

Yield to Maturity is the rate of income return on an investment, minus any premium above par or plus any discount with the adjustment spread over the period from the date of the purchase to the date of maturity of the bond.

This higher yield compensates the investor for accepting the risk of reduced liquidity and the risk that the issuing bank might fail. State law does not require the collateralization of negotiable CDs.

2. Non-negotiable Certificates of Deposit are time deposits with financial institutions that earn interest at a specified rate for a specified term. Liquidation of the CD prior to maturity incurs a penalty. There is no secondary market for these instruments, therefore, they are not liquid. They are classified as public deposits, and financial institutions are required to collateralize them. Collateral may be waived for the portion of the deposits that are covered by FDIC insurance.

Collateral refers to securities, evidence of deposits, or other property that a borrower pledges to secure repayment of a loan. It also refers to securities pledged by a bank to 10 secure deposits. In California, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and public deposits must be collateralized.

Commercial Paper is a short term, unsecured, promissory note issued by a corporation to raise working capital.

Federal Agency Obligations are issued by U.S. Government Agencies or Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE). Although they were created or sponsored by the U.S.

Government, most Agencies and GSEs are not guaranteed by the United States Government. Examples of these securities are notes, bonds, bills and discount notes issued by Fannie Mae (FNMA), Freddie Mac (FHLMC), the Federal Home Loan Bank system (FHLB), and Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB). The Agency market is a very large and liquid market, with billions traded every day.

Issuer means any corporation, governmental unit, or financial institution that borrows money through the sale of securities.

Liquidity refers to the ease and speed with which an asset can be converted into cash without loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the difference between the bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonably sized trades can be done at those quotes.

Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a special fund in the State Treasury that local agencies may use to deposit funds for investment. There is no minimum investment period and the minimum transaction is $5,000, in multiples of $1,000 above that, with a maximum of $65 million for any California public agency. It offers high liquidity because deposits can be converted to cash in twenty-four hours and no interest is lost. All interest is distributed to those agencies participating on a proportionate share determined by the amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid quarterly via direct deposit to the agency’s LAIF account. The State keeps an amount for reasonable costs of making the investments, not to exceed one-quarter of one per cent of the earnings.

Market Value is the price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold.

Maturity is the date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and payable.

Medium-Term Notes are debt obligations issued by corporations and banks, usually in the form of unsecured promissory notes. These are negotiable instruments that can be bought and sold in a large and active secondary market. For the purposes of California Government Code, the term “Medium Term” refers to a maximum remaining maturity of five years or less. They can be issued with fixed or floating-rate coupons, and with or without early call features, although the vast majority are fixed-rate and non-callable. 11 Corporate notes have greater risk than Treasuries or Agencies because they rely on the ability of the issuer to make payment of principal and interest.

Money Market Fund is a type of investment comprising a variety of short-term securities with high quality and high liquidity. The fund provides interest to shareholders. Prior to amendments to the money market fund regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2014, all money market funds were required to strive to maintain a stable net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. Following the 2014 money market fund reform, certain money market funds are required to sell and redeem shares based on the current market-based value of the securities in their underlying portfolios rounded to the fourth decimal place (i.e., transact at a floating or fluctuating net asset value (NAV)).

Accordingly, money market funds available today may be either a floating NAV money market fund or a stable NAV money market fund.

Principal describes the original cost of a security. It represents the amount of capital or money that the investor pays for the investment.

Repurchase Agreements are short-term investment transactions. Banks buy temporarily idle funds from a customer by selling him U.S. Government or other securities with a contractual agreement to repurchase the same securities on a future date at an agreed upon interest rate. Repurchase Agreements are typically for one to ten days in maturity. The customer receives interest from the bank. The interest rate reflects both the prevailing demand for Federal Funds and the maturity of the Repo. Repurchase Agreements must be collateralized.

Supranationals are securities issued or unconditionally guaranteed by multi-lateral international financial institutions whose member nations contribute capital and participate in management.

U.S. Treasury Issues are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are highly liquid and are considered the safest investment security. U.S. Treasury issues include:

1. Treasury Bills which are non-interest-bearing discount securities issued by the U.S. Treasury to finance the national debt. Bills are currently issued in 4-week, 8- week, 13-week, 26-week, and 52-week maturities.

2. Treasury Notes that have original maturities of one to ten years.

3. Treasury Bonds that have original maturities of greater than 10 years.

Yield to Maturity is the rate of income return on an investment, minus any premium above par or plus any discount with the adjustment spread over the period from the date of the purchase to the date of maturity of the bond.

Re: 2026 Investment Policy Review
May 20,2026
At your request, we reviewed the City of Seal Beach (the “City”) Investment Policy (the “Policy”) as part of the City’s annual review process. The current Policy is comprehensive and is in compliance with the current California Government Code (“Code”) statutes regulating the investment of public funds.

However, there are a few changes in Code effective January 1, 2026, that we recommend be included into the policy. Senate Bill 827 will introduce mandatory fiscal and financial training for local agency officials on budgeting, reporting, debt management and investment standards (current officials by J ), with refresher training at
least once biennially thereafter.

Furthermore, Senate Bill 858
397 days. The change is recommended as it allows for consistency with SEC Rule a-7, enhanced of statues.

Please let us know if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss further.

Agenda Item N

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 8, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM: Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Re-Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 1726 Regarding City Parking Regulations
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council conduct a first reading, read by title only, and re-introduce Ordinance 1726 titled, “An Ordinance of the City Of Seal Beach Amending Certain Sections of Chapter 8.15 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Seal Beach Municipal Code to Modernize Paid Parking Provisions, Establish a Residential Parking Permit Program Framework, Clarify Curb-Use Regulations Including Daylighting Near Crosswalks, and Make Other Technical Revisions.” BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

At its meeting on April 13, 2026, the City Council introduced Ordinance 1726 titled, “An Ordinance of the City Of Seal Beach Amending Certain Sections of Chapter

8.15 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Seal Beach Municipal Code to Modernize Paid Parking Provisions, Establish a Residential Parking Permit Program Framework, Clarify Curb-Use Regulations Including Daylighting Near Crosswalks, and Make Other Technical Revisions.”
At the April 13, 2026 meeting, the City Council requested an edit to the Ordinance to clarify that paid parking zones are only established at the off-street municipal parking lots. The Ordinance was then scheduled for second reading and adoption on April 27, 2026.

However, ongoing discussions with stakeholders regarding paid parking zones resulted in further substantive revisions to the language in Section 8.15.105.A of the Ordinance. Specifically, a concern was raised that the “City of Seal Beach Parking Meter Zone Map,” dated September 23, 2002, which has been historically referenced in that section of the Code, did not accurately identify the location of paid parking zones within the City. The map still shows areas on Main Street and certain side streets where paid parking could be allowed, but which is not currently allowed.

In 2004, the City Council rescinded the 2002 authorization to place parking meters on Main Street. Since then, the City Council has not authorized paid parking on Main Street. Therefore, the status quo remains that there is no on-street paid parking on Main Street, and portions of Ocean Avenue, Central Avenue, and Electric Avenue.

Staff has revised the proposed Ordinance to remove any reference to the 2002 Parking Meter Zone Map. The proposed Ordinance confirms that the only paid parking zones within the City are the off-street municipal parking lots along Main Street, Ocean Avenue, First Street, and Electric Avenue. This change merely reflects the current status quo and makes no change to the current locations for paid parking within the City. The Coastal Commission previously reviewed and approved these off-street lots for paid parking.

Because the Ordinance was substantively altered after first reading, it must be reintroduced pursuant to Section 412 of the City charter.

In addition, a typographical error was corrected in revised section 8.15.110.D.1.b (the phrase “by resolution” should have been located after the word “modified”).

For further information about the Ordinance, please see the April 13, 2026 staff report.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

There is no environmental impact related to this item.

LEGAL ANALYSIS:

The proposed Ordinance has been reviewed as to form.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact for this item.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council conduct a first reading, read by title only, and re-introduce Ordinance 1726 titled, “An Ordinance of the City Of Seal Beach Amending Certain Sections of Chapter 8.15 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Seal Beach Municipal Code to Modernize Paid Parking Provisions, Establish a Residential Parking Permit Program Framework, Clarify Curb-Use Regulations Including Daylighting Near Crosswalks, and Make Other Technical Revisions.”

review; and

4. Present to the City Council for final action, a
resolution that would establish a residential
permit parking area in accordance with
requirements of this article, including all

a resolution to establish a residential permit
parking area, no further changes or requests for
changes in resident permit parking restrictions
for this area will be considered for a minimum
period of one year.

6. The City Manager or designee may restrict all or
certain portions of City-owned property other
than streets, alleys or highways as residential
permit parking only; when authorized signs have
been posted giving notice of such residential
permit parking restrictions. It is unlawful and an
infraction for any person to park or leave
standing a vehicle within such area during the
times and days when such parking is prohibited,
other than a vehicle that has been issued a valid
residential parking permit or exempted pursuant
to Section 8.15.110 C of this article.
8 b. The City Council may establish or modify, by resolution, a designated residential permit parking area in any manner consistent with this article and Vehicle Code Section 22507.

M. Residential Permit Policies.

1. A residential parking permit may be issued only to an eligible driver who can demonstrate that they currently reside at an eligible dwelling unit within the residential permit parking area for which the permit is to be issued.

2. To be issued a residential parking permit, each eligible driver shall provide the following information:
a. The applicant’s full, true name and home address, and proof of residence;
b. The applicant’s driver’s license’
c. A valid and current vehicle registration and license plate number of the vehicle for which a permit is being requested;
d. The applicable fee; and
e. Such other information as required by the Police Department.

3. A temporary residential parking permit shall be issued to an eligible driver for a rented or borrowed registered vehicle where the eligible driver, residing in a residential permit parking zone, demonstrates their own vehicle is unavailable for that driver's use for a temporary period. Such permits will expire upon the return to use of the originally permitted vehicle or its replacement.

4. The City Council may, by resolution, limit the number of permits issued to any resident, dwelling unit, or residential permit parking area if such limitation would further the goals of the residential permit parking program.

5. Residential parking permits will not be issued to non-motorized vehicles (i.e., trailers) or to commercial vehicles that are registered at business addresses. For the purposes of this article, a “commercial vehicle” shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in Section 260 of the California Vehicle Code.

N. Guest Parking Permits.

1. The City Council may, by resolution, authorize the issuance of temporary guest parking permits in any residential permit parking area. When 10 authorized, a resident within a residential permit parking area may apply for temporary parking permits for use by their guests in the residential permit parking area where the resident resides.

2. Guest permits may be issued under the following conditions:

3. Use of guest parking permits shall comply with residential permit parking regulations established pursuant to this article to be valid within the residential permit parking area for which it was assigned.

4. Intentional or repeated misuse of guest parking permits by a resident or their guests may be cause for revocation of the resident’s guest parking permit privileges.

5. A guest parking permit shall be valid for a prescribed period of time, commencing upon the date authorized, and shall exempt the applicable vehicle from parking time restrictions established pursuant to this article.

O. Establishment of Residential Parking Permit Area.

Upon adoption by the City Council of a resolution designating a residential permit parking area, street parking in the area shall be limited for a period as determined by the City Manager or designee, with input from the area residents and as may be specifically posted; provided, however, that parking shall be allowed by vehicles for which a residential or visitor's parking permit has been obtained in accordance with requirements of the ordinance unless otherwise designated.

P. Posting of Residential Permit Parking Area.

Upon adoption by the City Council of a resolution designating a residential permit parking area and after at least 51% of the households have purchased permits, the City Manager or designee, shall cause appropriate signs to be erected in the area, indicating prominently thereon the area prohibition or time limitation, period of its application, and conditions under which permit parking shall be exempt therefrom.

Agenda Item N

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM: Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Approving and Authorizing Amendments to the Seal Beach Municipal Code Pertaining to Parking Regulations, the
Residential Parking Permit Program, Paid Parking, and
Other Regulations
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council introduce, waive full reading, and read by title only, Ordinance 1726, an Ordinance of the City of Seal Beach Amending Certain Sections of Chapter 8.15 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of the Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) to modernize paid parking provisions, establish a residential parking permit program framework, clarify curb-use regulations including daylighting near crosswalks, and make other technical revisions.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The City’s curbside and off-street parking policies directly affect safety, access, mobility, and the overall customer experience in commercial districts and neighborhoods. Parking is also closely tied to public safety operations—when curb use is orderly and predictable, first responders can access emergencies more quickly, congestion is reduced, and conflicts are minimized. The proposed ordinance updates are part of a broader effort to keep the City’s parking toolbox current, support high compliance through clear rules and modern technology, and maintain an enforcement framework that is practical, fair, and effective. 1) Paid Parking Modernization. The Seal Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) currently references traditional meters and pay stations. The amendment broadens these terms to include contemporary and emerging options such as mobile payment, text-to-pay, and other paid parking methods as approved by the Police Department. Fees will continue to be set by Council resolution, giving policy-makers flexibility to adjust rates or programs without re-opening the code.

The update also refines prohibited conduct in paid zones and clarifies that posted signage and official instructions govern the method of payment and proof of payment.

2) Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Program Framework. While demand for residential permits may vary over time, the current code lacks a complete process to create and administer permit zones requested by residents. The ordinance establishes a clear, objective mechanism that the City can activate when it receives a petition initiated by residents, including:
• Designation criteria (e.g., a resident petition threshold and parking occupancy study);
• Permit categories (resident, guest, merchant/employee where appropriate, and contractor), issuance, duration, non-transferability, and revocation for misuse;
• Administrative rules to be adopted by the Police Department to implement day-to-day procedures (application, documentation, and enforcement).

This framework prepares the City to respond to emerging conditions—near the beach, schools, or other generators—without committing to any specific district until Council formally establishes one by resolution.

Under Vehicle Code Section 22507, the City Council retains the discretion to establish a preferential permit parking district for residents or businesses whether or not a petition is submitted to initiate the process by residents. The City Council may establish a parking permit fee in order to recover the City’s cost of administering the permit program.
3) Stopping/Standing/Parking Clarifications (including Daylighting). The ordinance consolidates and clarifies several curb-use provisions, including aligning local rules with state “daylighting” requirements by prohibiting stopping, standing, or parking within a set distance of marked or unmarked crosswalks in order to improve visibility for pedestrians and drivers. This helps provide a consistent, comprehensible standard for the public and supports safety near intersections.

Focus on Compliance and Effective Enforcement: The City’s goal is to achieve high compliance so that spaces turn over appropriately, residents and businesses have access, and mobility is improved. Enforcement remains an essential tool to ensure fairness and predictability. The proposed updates support both aims by clarifying rules, modernizing payment options, and creating a permit pathway where warranted.
