City Council Meeting 1/26/26
KYA Services LLC speaking to City Council for the
Tennis and Pickleball Center Court resurfacing and LED
lighting upgrades CIP PR2501
Councilman Kalmick asked if we were looking into a “next level” of coating that would give extended life to the courts Female representative from KYA “Yes we did quote on a
superior system, It’s a five coat layer system, um and the entire project does bring the courts resurfacing down to the bare bones and then we build it back up using that five layer system so it is superior and should last a little bit longer.”
Public Works director Iris Lee “If I may ad to that, um we previously used, and please correct me if I’m wrong, a 3 ply system that we couldn’t actually get warranty and given that the fact that the tennis pickleball center has increased usage and apparently has demand for enhanced quality of play we are moving forward with a 5 coat warranty surface for our membership over there.

Councilman Kalmick “How long is the warranty period?”
Female rep from KYA “ We have um our installation
warranty which is for one year but we have our
manufacturers warranty um off the top of my head sir I
don’t recall but I can get that information and get that to Iris right away”
At that point Mayor Landau began discussing lights ….

Agenda Item A

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM: Gloria D. Harper, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Senate Bill 707 Brown Act Implementation: Consideration of (1) a Legislative Body Reasonable Accommodation
Policy for Remote Participation at Meetings; (2) a
Reasonable Accommodation Policy for Public Participation at Brown Act Meetings; and (3) an Internet Service and
Telephonic Service Disruption Policy for All City Council, Commission, Committee, and Board Meetings
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7791 to adopt the following policies to implement provisions of the Brown Act, as recently amended by Senate Bill 707 (SB 707): 1) a Legislative Body Reasonable Accommodation Policy for Remote Participation at Meetings; and, 2) a Reasonable Accommodation Policy for Public Participation at Brown Act Meetings; and, 3) an Internet Service and Telephonic Service Disruption Policy for City Council, Commission, Committee, and Board Meetings.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The Ralph M. Brown Act, commonly known as the “Brown Act,” is California’s “sunshine” law for local government. The Brown Act is found in the California Government Code commencing with Section 54950.1 In 2025, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), which was signed into law on October 3, 2025, and took effect on January 1, 2026, although many of its most significant provisions do not take effect until July, 1, 2026. SB 707 enacted several changes to the Brown Act relating to remote participation at meetings.

SB 707 updates Section 54953 of the Brown Act to allow for members of legislative bodies with disabilities to participate in meetings remotely as a reasonable accommodation (see Government Code Section 54953(c)). If such an accommodation is granted under this new provision, remote participation due to a disability will be treated as in-person attendance at the physical meeting location 1 All section references are to the California Government Code.

Page 2 ends

for all purposes, including reaching a quorum. The traditional teleconference requirements of posting the address of the teleconference location and allowing public participation from the teleconference location do not apply if the member of the legislative body has a disability for which remote participation is allowed.

The purpose of the reasonable accommodation policy is to ensure compliance with the Brown Act and to provide a written procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving reasonable accommodation requests for members of the City of Seal Beach legislative bodies, consistent with the Brown Act and federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12132). The purpose is to enable participation in legislative body meetings through remote participation for a qualifying individual whose disability precludes their in-person attendance at a meeting of their legislative body. As set forth in California Attorney General Opinion No. 23-1002, which addressed the applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to meetings subject to the Brown Act, the opinion stated that not every disability necessitates remote participation, because not every disability precludes in-person attendance; therefore, a fact intensive, individualized, case-by-case inquiry is required when considering remote participation as a reasonable accommodation.

Additionally, Government Code Section 54953.8(b)(8) requires that all public agencies have and implement a written procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving reasonable accommodation requests for individuals with disabilities, consistent with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12132), and resolving any doubt in favor of accessibility. Requests may be made by any individual that participates or conducts the meeting, such as members of the public, staff, and members of the legislative body. Requests, however, for members of the legislative body for remote participation at meetings subject to the Brown Act should refer to the separate policies adopted by the City.

SB 707 adds a new Section 54953.4 that requires specific actions be taken by an “eligible legislative body” to make meetings more accessible to the public. An “eligible legislative body” is defined in Section 54953.4(e)(2) and as applied to the City of Seal Beach, the City Council is an eligible legislative body.

Starting on July 1, 2026, public meetings held by an eligible legislative body are required to include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a twoway telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform (such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom), commonly referred to as a “hybrid meeting.” The only exception is if adequate telephonic or internet service is not operational at the meeting location.

In addition, staff is proposing a formal reasonable accommodation policy for public participation at Brown Act body meetings. The City currently handles reasonable accommodation via a policy that is identified on the City’s agendas. This policy is intended to provide more information for purposes of desiring a reasonable accommodation.

N/A

1. SCOPE
To establish a procedure by which members of the City Council and other City commissions, committees, and boards subject to the Brown Act may request a reasonable accommodation to remotely attend a meeting of their respective body if a disability precludes them from in-person attendance.

2. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Ralph M. Brown Act, commonly known as the “Brown Act,” is California’s “sunshine” law for local government. The Brown Act is found in the California Government Code commencing with Section 54950. In 2025, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 707 (“SB 707”), which was signed into law on October 3, 2025, and is effective January 1, 2026. SB 707 enacted an extensive modernization of the Brown Act.

SB 707 updates Section 54953 of the Brown Act to allow for members of legislative bodies with disabilities to participate in meetings remotely as a reasonable accommodation (See, Government Code Section 54953(c)). If such an accommodation is granted under this new provision, remote participation due to a disability will be treated as in-person attendance at the physical meeting location for all purposes, including reaching a quorum. The traditional teleconference requirements of posting the address of the teleconference location and allowing public participation from the teleconference location will not apply.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure compliance with the Brown Act and to provide a written procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving reasonable accommodation requests for members of the City of Seal Beach legislative bodies, consistent with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12132), and resolving any doubt in favor of accessibility. The purpose is to enable participation in legislative body meetings through remote participation for a qualifying individual whose disability precludes their in-person attendance at a meeting of their legislative body. As set forth 2 of 3
(100-15)
in California Attorney General Opinion No. 23-1002, which addressed the applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) to meetings subject to the Brown Act, the opinion stated that not every disability necessitates remote participation, because not every disability precludes in-person attendance; therefore, a fact intensive, individualized, case-by-case inquiry is required when considering remote participation as a reasonable accommodation.

3. POLICY AND PROCEDURE
Definitions: As used in this policy, a member of a legislative body means any individual who is a member of the Seal Beach City Council or a member of any commission, committee, or board of the City of Seal Beach, whose meetings are subject to the Brown Act, and shall be referred to herein as “Member.” Interactive Process: The City’s Manager of Human Resources or its equivalent position (“Director”) is authorized to make reasonable inquiries about the Member’s need for accommodation, to conduct the necessary case-by-case inquiry into the request and to accommodate a qualifying disability, consistent with applicable law. The City may require additional information, such as a medical provider’s certification of the existence of a qualifying disability and the need for the accommodation to attend remotely. The City may not ask the Member or their medical provider to disclose a specific diagnosis. The Director will inform the Member, the City Manager and the City Clerk of the decision on the request for reasonable accommodation in writing.

Approved reasonable accommodation for remote access attendance at public meetings shall be in effect for the period of time that the Member’s disabling condition continues, and the decision of the Director shall reflect this determination.

Confidentiality: All information regarding a Member’s claimed disability or medical information must be kept confidential and maintained in a separate medical file by the Director. Such information may be disclosed in limited circumstances, such as to first aid and safety personnel, when appropriate, to government officials investigating compliance with the ADA, or to City staff trained on and entrusted with the handling of confidential medical information, if such disclosure is necessary to effectuate the reasonable accommodation.

Member’s Responsibilities Under the Brown Act
If the accommodation for remote participation is granted, the Member is required to comply with the applicable provisions of Government Code Section 54953(c) as follows:

1. The Member shall participate through both audio and visual technology, except that any Member with a disability, as defined by California Government Code Section 12926 and used in Section 12926.1, or by Section 12102 of Title 42 of the 3 of 3
(100-15)
United States Code, may participate only through audio technology if a physical condition related to their disability results in a need to participate off camera.

2. The Member shall disclose at the meeting before any action is taken whether any other individuals 18 years of age or older are present in the room at the remote location with the member, and the general nature of the Member’s relationship with any of those individuals.

4. PROCEDURE
A Member who desires to attend meetings remotely because of a qualified disability shall make an accommodation request in writing to the Director. The request should include a written statement that the Member requires remote participation under this this Policy because of their disability. The Member is not required to disclose the particular disability. The request shall be made at least three weeks before the meeting for which the Member first seeks accommodation. If the City maintains a “Reasonable Accommodation Form” or equivalent form at the time of the request, then the request shall be made on such form.

APPROVAL
N/A

1. SCOPE
To establish a policy for receiving and swiftly resolving reasonable accommodation requests for individuals with disabilities who desire to participate in a public meeting of the City. Requests, however, for members of the legislative body for remote participation at meetings subject to the Brown Act should refer to policy 100-16.

2. PURPOSE AND INTENT
Government Code Section 54953.8(b)(8) of the Ralph M. Brown Act, commonly known as the “Brown Act,” requires that all public agencies have and implement a written procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving reasonable accommodation requests for individuals with disabilities, consistent with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12132), and resolving any doubt in favor of accessibility. Requests may be made by any individual that participates or conducts the meeting, such as members of the public, staff, and members of the legislative body.

3. POLICY
Readily Available Accommodations. Any of the following accommodations can be provided for a publicly-noticed City meeting or meetings open to the public pursuant to the Brown Act, upon request:
▪ Agendas and staff reports: Upon request, any agendas or staff reports can be made available in appropriate alternative formats to persons with a disability, including hyperlinks where appropriate so that the user can access the linked information.
2 (100-16)
▪ For individuals with hearing loss: Qualified interpreters on-site; assistive listening devices; or voice and video-based telecommunications products and systems.
▪ For individuals with visual impairments: Qualified readers; audio recordings; or large print materials. Electronic agendas should be compatible with the screen readers that are commonly used by those who are visually impaired. ▪ For individuals with mobility impairments: ADA accessible facilities, including ramps to access council chambers; Zoom/telephone access.

Additional Accommodations (Upon Request). Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, who are blind or have low vision, have mobility impairments, or have any other disability, may also request accommodations other than those readily available using the process outlined below. Accommodations should be requested as early as possible as additional time may be required in order to provide the requested accommodation. Note that an accommodation will be considered to be unreasonable and will not be provided if it imposes undue financial or administrative burdens on the City, or requires a fundamental alteration in the nature of a program. If any particular accommodation is unreasonable, the City will offer an alternative.

4. PROCEDURE
Process to request additional accommodation.

1. If you have an additional accommodation that is not identified above, please submit a request for such accommodation as soon practicable, at least 48 hours prior to the meeting or time when services are needed. The sooner the request is made, the more likely it is that the City can provide the accommodation or an alternative. You can make this request yourself, or someone can make it on your behalf with your permission.

2. Your request can be made orally or in writing, and you should submit it to the City Clerk’s Office so as to avoid delay in reviewing and processing the request. Requests can be made by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at 562-431- 2527 x1305, via email at [email protected], or by mailing such a request to the City Clerk’s Office at 211 8th Street, Seal Beach CA 90740. Note that if you contact the City Clerk’s Office via mail, you need to make the request early enough so that a response can be provided timely.

3. Your request for an accommodation must provide the following information:
3 (100-16)
(a) What accommodation are you seeking? The City needs to know the type of accommodation you are seeking, and/or how the accommodation will allow you to access and participate in the meeting. You are not required to disclose the particular disability, instead a general statement of explanation will suffice. You may, but are not required to, submit a letter from a physician to the effect that the requested accommodation is required for you to access and participate in the meeting.
(b) What is your contact information. You must give staff current contact information so they can respond in a timely manner. This can be a mailing address, an email address, or telephone number, for example. Note that if only a mailing address is provided, you need to make the request early enough that a mailed response can be timely provided.
(c) Which meeting or meetings? Please specify if the accommodation is requested for a specific meeting, or for all or a series of meetings before a particular body. Please provide the name of the legislative body (for example, the City Council, the Planning Commission), and the dates of the meeting or meetings for which you are requesting an accommodation.

Procedures for City Staff.

1. Any staff member who receives, or believes they may have received, an accommodation request, will promptly relay the request and the requestor’s contact information to the City Clerk.

2. The City Attorney’s Office may be requested to assist in the review of requests, and assist staff in providing a response to the requestor as soon as practicable.

3. All reasonable accommodation request responses shall be provided in writing, when such written response can be transmitted in a timely manner prior to the start of the specific meeting. Otherwise, the response will otherwise be provided orally. Responses will identify whether the accommodation is granted or granted in the alternative, and any instructions necessary to access the accommodation. If denied the response will identify and the grounds for denial.

City staff will document requests and responses provided orally.

4. The law requires that all doubt be resolved in favor of accommodations. Staff will make reasonable efforts to communicate with requestors to obtain clarifications or to discuss whether alternative accommodations will be viable.

APPROVAL
N/A

1. SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to adopt the “Internet Service and Telephonic Service Disruption Policy” in the manner and content required by Section 54953.4(b)(1)(A)(i)(I) and (II).

2. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Ralph M. Brown Act, commonly known as the “Brown Act,” is California’s “sunshine” law for local government. The Brown Act is found in the California Government Code commencing with Section 54950.1 In 2025, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 707 (SB 707”), which was signed into law on October 3, 2025, and is effective January 1, 2026. SB 707 enacted an extensive modernization of the Brown Act.

Starting on July 1, 2026, public meetings held by an eligible legislative body are required to include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a twoway telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform (such as Zoom), commonly referred to as a “hybrid meeting.” The only exception is if adequate telephonic or internet service is not operational at the meeting location.

In conjunction with hybrid meetings, SB 707 requires the City Council, on or before July 1, 2026, to approve a policy regarding the disruption of telephonic or internet services occurring during the meeting. The adoption of such policy must 1 All section references are to the California Government Code. 2 (100-17)
occur at a noticed public meeting of the City Council in open session and not as an item on the consent calendar.

3. POLICY

1. Designation of Responsible Person of the City’s Two-Way Audiovisual Platform or Two-Way Telephonic Service: The City Manager or his or her designee shall identify a City employee or vendor who is responsible for operating the two-way audiovisual platform or two-way telephonic service, referred to herein as the “Hybrid Platform”, at noticed public meetings of the City Council (“Responsible Person”). Typically, the Responsible Person handles the operation of the microphones, cameras and other audio visual equipment and/or telephonic or voice equipment during City Council meetings and ensures that the Hybrid Platform has connectivity so that the meeting is displayed, both visually and with audio, in the case of an audiovisual platform such as Zoom or Teams, or telephonically if a telephonic system is utilized.

2. Role of the City Clerk. The City Clerk is the person designated at City Council meetings for operating the Hybrid Platform to ensure the recording of the City Council meeting and for interacting with the Hybrid Platform to receive and record public comments. The City Clerk works within the Hybrid Platform as the meeting host to queue speakers who desire to provide public comment, admit speakers into the meeting when it is their turn to speak and thereafter remove said speakers, interact with the speakers as needed, including muting and unmuting speakers, and closes the queue when the public comment period ends.

If a telephonic system is used, the City Clerk conducts the same or similar activities. The City Clerk interacts with the Mayor so that speakers who participate virtually or telephonically are called upon by the Mayor to provide their comments.

3. Disruption of the Hybrid Platform - Notification to the Mayor. If the Responsible Person or the City Clerk determines at any time during the City Council meeting that the Hybrid Platform is experiencing technical difficulties such that there is no telephonic or internet service in order for the Hybrid Platform to be operational, or there is a disruption or other technical issue that makes two-way remote participation not possible during the City Council meeting (for example, the City Council meeting is no longer able to be observed or heard by the public via the Hybrid Platform or the public is unable to virtually or telephonically attend the City Council meeting via the Hybrid Platform), the Responsible Person or the City Clerk shall immediately inform the Mayor or the presiding officer if the Mayor is not in attendance at the meeting, that the Hybrid Platform has been disrupted and a recess is required in order to restore service to the Hybrid Platform.
3 (100-17)

4. Announcement by the Mayor. The Mayor or presiding officer shall make an announcement regarding the need to call a recess because there is a disruption or other technical issue that has rendered the Hybrid Platform nonoperational preventing two-way virtual or telephonic remote participation. After such announcement, the Mayor or presiding officer shall call for a recess and inform the in-person audience that under the Brown Act, the recess may last for up to an hour or until the service is restored to the Hybrid Platform. Pursuant to the Brown Act, the City Council is required to recess the open session of the City Council meeting for at least one hour following the disruption, or until telephonic or internet service is restored, whichever is earlier.

5. Recordation of the Time Recess is Called. The City Clerk shall physically in writing record the time when the recess is called by the Mayor or the presiding officer if the Mayor is not in attendance at the meeting.

6. Good Faith Attempt to Restore Service to the Hybrid Platform.

During the recess, the Responsible Person and/or the City Clerk and any other member of City Staff shall make a good faith attempt to restore service to the Hybrid Platform. This includes troubleshooting any issues impacting connectivity including but not limited to the following: internet or telephonic connectivity issues (for example, check the connection, check the connection speed, test the internet bandwidth, contact the internet or telephonic provider, etc.), or audio or video quality concerns or webcam and audio issues (check settings of equipment and/or Hybrid Platform, check connections and cables, check app permissions (if applicable), ensure webcams or other cameras not blocked, adjust camera settings, test of audio, reinstall app or program (if applicable) etc.).

7. Troubleshooting Hybrid Platform is Successful. If the Responsible Person, City Clerk, or any other member of City Staff is successful in restoring the service to the Hybrid Platform within one hour of when the recess was called, the City Clerk shall inform the Mayor or presiding officer that the matter has been resolved. The Mayor or presiding officer shall then reconvene the City Council meeting and shall inform the public that service has been restored to the Hybrid Platform. The City Clerk shall physically in writing record the time of when the City Council meeting is reconvened.

8. Troubleshooting Hybrid Platform is Not Successful. If the Responsible Person, City Clerk, or any other member of City Staff was not successful in restoring the service to the Hybrid Platform within one hour of when the recess was called, the City Clerk shall inform the Mayor or presiding officer that after making a good faith attempt to restore service, service to the Hybrid Platform was unable to be restored. The City Clerk shall give a description of the 4 (100-17)
efforts made to restore service. The City Clerk shall physically in writing record the time of when the City Council meeting is reconvened.

9. Reconvening the Open Session of the City Council Meeting. The Mayor or presiding officer shall subsequently reconvene the City Council meeting. Upon reconvening the meeting, the Mayor or presiding officer shall inform the City Council and the public that services to the Hybrid Platform were unable to be restored and the Mayor or presiding officer shall request that a finding be made as follows: (i) that good faith efforts to restore the telephonic or internet service have been made in accordance with the City’s Internet Service and Telephonic Service Disruption Policy; and (ii) that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.

The Mayor or presiding officer shall call for a motion, ask for a second and ask the City Clerk to take a roll call vote. If the motion making the finding is passed, the City Council may continue the City Council meeting.

10. Certain Meetings Exempt. The requirement set forth in Government Code Section 54953.4 that open and public meetings shall include an opportunity for members of the public to attend the City Council meeting via a two-way remote system (either telephonically or via an audiovisual platform), does not apply to the following meetings: (i) a meeting to attend a judicial or administrative proceeding to which the City is a party; (ii) a meeting to inspect real or personal property provided that the topic of the meeting is limited to items directly related to the real or personal property; (iii) a meeting with elected or appointed officials of the United States or the State of California, solely to discuss a legislative or regulatory issue affecting the city and over which the federal or state officials have jurisdiction; (iv) a meeting in or nearby a facility owned by the City, provided that the topic of the meeting is limited to items directly related to the facility; and (v) a meeting in an emergency situation pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.5.

11. Closed Session During a Recess. During the recess described herein, the City Council may meet in closed session during this period for items listed in the closed session agenda for that meeting.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM: Gloria D. Harper, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 1726
Regarding City Parking Regulations
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council conduct a second reading, by title only, and adopt 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 approved the introduction of 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.

Page 2 ends

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 Ordinance to remove any reference to the 2002 Parking Meter Zone Map. The 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.

At its meeting on June 8, 2026, the City Council approved the re-introduction of 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.” This item is to conduct a second reading and adopt Ordinance 1726 in compliance with State law and the City Charter requiring that ordinances be adopted at least five (5) days after introduction at a regular or adjourned regular meeting. Upon adoption and pursuant to City Charter Section 414, the Ordinance will be published within fifteen (15) days after adoption.

There is no environmental impact related to this item.

The proposed Ordinance has been reviewed as to form.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM: Iris Lee, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Approving Submittal of FY 2026-27 Measure M2 Eligibility Package and its Components
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution 7792 Concerning the Status and Update of the Local Signal Synchronization Plan for the City of Seal Beach; and,

2. Adopt the seven-year Measure M2 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2026-2027 through 2032-2033; and,

3. Direct the City Manager, or their designee, to file the adopted Resolution, Capital Improvement Program and the Measure M2 eligibility documents with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in compliance with the requirements of OCTA.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

In November 1990, the voters of Orange County approved Measure M, the Revised Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Ordinance. Measure M created a fund for transportation improvements to mitigate traffic impacts generated by existing and proposed development. Measure M authorized the imposition of an additional half-cent retail transaction and use tax for a period of twenty (20) years. In November 2006, Measure M was renewed by the voters of Orange County for an additional thirty (30) years and is now referred to as Measure M2.

Funds identified as Measure M2 “Fairshare” funds are used on local and regional transportation improvement and maintenance projects. Other Measure M2 funds, for transportation related projects, are made available through several competitive programs included in the Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP).

Page 2 ends

To be eligible to receive Measure M2 “Fairshare” and CTFP funds, the local jurisdiction must meet compliance standards as set forth by Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) every year. The compliance standards generally include:

1. Comply with the conditions and requirements of the Orange County Congestion Management Program.

2. Establish a policy which requires new development to pay its fair share of transportation-related improvements associated with their new development.

3. Adopt a General Plan Circulation Element consistent with the County’s Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH).

4. Adopt a seven-year CIP that includes all transportation projects funded partially or wholly by Measure M2 dollars.

5. Adopt and adequately fund a biennial Local Pavement Management Plan (PMP).

6. Adopt and provide an annual Expenditure Report to OCTA.

7. Provide the OCTA with a Project Final Report within six (6) months following completion of a project funded with Net Revenues.

8. Satisfy Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Requirements.

9. Agree to expend all Measure M2 revenues within three (3) years of receipt.

10. Consider, as part of the General Plan, land use and planning strategies that accommodate transit and non-motorized transportation.

11. Adopt and comply with a Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP).

All of these items must be maintained to retain eligibility. Not all of the requirements are needed every year. Items must be renewed or resubmitted annually, biannually or every three (3) years. The eligibility package is due to OCTA by June 30, 2026.

This year’s package will include:

1. Measure M2 specific seven-year Capital Improvement Program

2. Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Reporting Form

3. General Plan Compliance Documentation

4. Measure M2 Eligibility Checklist

5. Pavement Management Plan Update

6. Local Signal Synchronization Plan Update

Page 3 ends

A summary explanation of each listed item is included below:

1. MEASURE M2, SEVEN-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
In accordance with Measure M2, an updated seven-year (7) CIP specifically for the transportation facility improvement projects in a form consistent with the latest requirements of OCTA has been prepared and included for the City Council’s consideration and adoption. The updated seven-year (7) CIP for Fiscal Year 2026- 27 through Fiscal Year 2032-33 is consistent with the City’s five-year CIP for Fiscal Year 2026-27 through Fiscal Year 2030-31.

2. MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT REPORTING FORM
Measure M2 stipulates that the transportation revenue stream supplement shall not replace the general fund investment that local agencies spend on roadway maintenance. The program compiled the average annual maintenance investment that each city made between Fiscal Year 1985-1986 through FY 1989-1990 and requires local agencies to continue to invest in the infrastructure with the appropriate minimum funding level. The Maintenance of Effort (MOE) certification form indicates that this is being done for each local jurisdiction.

The MOE benchmark is reviewed and adjusted every three (3) years starting back in 2014. The Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Seal Beach MOE benchmark is $785,290. It was adjusted based on the percent change in the Caltrans’ Construction Cost Index for the immediately preceding three (3) calendar years. Accordingly, the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 City budget proposes transportation-related General Fund expenditures to meet this MOE benchmark.

3. GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTATION
A participating city must consider, as part of its General Plan, land use planning strategies that accommodate transit and non-motorized transportation. The City has met these requirements within the currently adopted General Plan. A letter will be submitted to OCTA identifying these strategies.

4. MEASURE M2 ELIGIBILITY CHECKLIST
To assist agencies in complying with Measure M2, OCTA has developed checklists to clarify requirements. The checklist has been completed and will be transmitted with all other documents as required by OCTA.

5. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE
OCTA requires preparation of a Pavement Management Plan to evaluate the existing pavement network, identify deficiencies, and recommend cost effective improvements to relieve existing and future deficiencies. This plan must be updated every two years. The 2026 Pavement Management Program Update was

Page 4 ends

approved at the May 11, 2026 City Council meeting under Resolution 7767. The City will submit the certified plan to OCTA with the Measure M2 Eligibility package.

6. LOCAL SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PLAN UPDATE
The Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) is a local program consistent with the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan for the County of Orange which provides a three-year plan identifying traffic signal synchronization, street routes and traffic signals to be improved. The LSSP outlines the costs associated with the identified improvements, funding and phasing of capital, and the operations and maintenance of the street routes and traffic signals.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of the City’s M2 Eligibility Package will not have a significant effect on the environment.

LEGAL ANALYSIS:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City receives funding from the Measure M2 program through OCTA. A requirement to receive this funding is submittal of the enclosed eligibility package.

The City anticipates receiving $605,490 in M2 Local Fair Share program apportionment for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution 7792 Concerning the Status and Update of the Local Signal Synchronization Plan for the City of Seal Beach; and,

2. Adopt the seven-year Measure M2 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2026-2027 through 2032-2033; and,

LOCAL SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION

PLAN UPDATE
2026

1 SECTION ONE

TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION GOALS, POLICIES AND

OBJECTIVES
Purpose and Need
The Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program, which comprised of a 750-mile regional signal synchronization network with about 2,000 traffic signals throughout Orange County, is a part of the Measure M2 approved by Orange County voters in November 2006. The goals of the program are to improve the flow of traffic on Orange County streets and roads by implementing multi-agency traffic signal synchronization.

The M2 program, which began in 2011, required that each local jurisdiction adopt a Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) to be eligible for M2 funding. The City of Seal Beach has adopted its LSSP in 2010.

Subsequent to the adoption of the 2010 LSSP, the City of Seal Beach is required to maintain and update the plan for the duration of the Measure M2 program to remain eligible for funding.

The following components are included in the LSSP:
• Traffic signal synchronization goals, policies, and objectives • Traffic signal synchronization street routes (existing and planned) • Traffic signal inventory
• Three-year capital, operations, and maintenance plan
• Signal synchronization timing review, revision, and assessment Goals, Policies and Objectives
Coordination of traffic signals on major arterials results in the reduction of vehicle stops, delays, queuing, travel times and emissions, and provides for a less congested and comfortable drive for both local and regional traffic. The City of Seal Beach acknowledges the Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program goals and supports a multi-agency corridor-based approach that optimizes traffic signals based on existing traffic patterns. The City supports local agency responsibility for signal timing and working with neighboring agencies to develop synchronization timing.

The Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan has established goals, objectives, and policies that express the importance of the circulation system to the quality of life and the vitality of the local economy. Specific goals include:
2 • Provide and maintain a comprehensive circulation system that facilitates the efficient movement of people and goods throughout the City. • Support development of regional transportation facilities that ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods from within the City to areas outside its boundaries, and that accommodate the regional travel demands of developing areas outside the City, while minimizing air and noise pollution and other environmental impacts.

Policies adopted to help achieve these goals include the following:
• Monitor and participate in appropriate county, regional, state, and federal transportation plans and proposals.
• Maintain compliance with the County’s Congestion Management Plan (CMP). • Develop and implement an annual Capital Improvement Program. • Maintain Level of Service D or better for roadway segments and intersections during peak hours.
• Promote the use of traffic signal timing coordination within the City and with adjacent jurisdictions.
3 SECTION TWO

TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION STREET ROUTES
(EXISTING AND PLANNED)
Traffic signal coordination is currently implemented in various corridors in the City of Seal Beach. These corridors include all street routes identified in OCTA’s Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan.

The Traffic Signal Synchronization Street Routes in the City of Seal Beach are shown in Figure 1.

The following synchronized corridors are maintained by the City of Seal Beach:

Seal Beach Boulevard is classified in the OCTA Master Plan of Arterial Highways as a Major arterial carrying between 22,000 and 29,000 vehicles daily south of Westminster Avenue. North of Westminster Avenue and in the vicinity of the SR22/I-405 freeway, Seal Beach Boulevard carries between 34,500 to 49,500 vehicles daily. It has a posted speed of 50 mph from Pacific Coast Highway (SR1) to the SR-22/I-405 freeway and 40 mph north of the freeway interchange to the Northerly City Limits.

Westminster Avenue carries between 24,000 and 27,000 vehicles daily. The corridor is classified as a Primary arterial in the OCTA MPAH. The posted speed is 50 mph between the Western City Limits to Seal Beach Boulevard and 60 mph easterly to the Eastern City Limits.

Lampson Avenue carries between 13,500 and 20,000 vehicles daily. The corridor is classified as a Secondary arterial in the OCTA MPAH. The posted speed is 45 mph from Seal Beach Boulevard to the Eastern City Limits.

The following synchronized corridor is maintained by the State of California (Caltrans):

Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1) is a Primary arterial per the OCTA MPAH and is in Caltrans jurisdiction. It carries between 54,000 to 67,000 vehicles daily. The posted speed is 40 mph.
4 Traffic signals along the above listed corridors are coordinated as needed during the peak periods based on the traffic volumes and patterns.
5 SECTION THREE

TRAFFIC SIGNAL INVENTORY
This section provides traffic signal inventory information for the traffic signals along the Signal Synchronization Street Routes identified in the previous section. The inventory information includes the following:
• Traffic Signal Location
• Cycle Length for the AM, MD, PM and WKND peak periods • Maintenance Responsibility
• Traffic Signal Equipment:
o Cabinet
o Controller
o Software
o Detection Type
o Bike Detection
o CCTV
o Power Backup

TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION ASSESSMENT REVIEW

AND SIGNAL TIMING REVISIONS
Significant timing plan updates and projects completed FY 2023/2024 through 2025/2026
The City of Seal Beach periodically conducts corridor-wide projects to both update signal timing and upgrade obsolete traffic signal infrastructure. The City, via its traffic engineering consultants and maintenance contractors, pro-actively monitors traffic operations along traffic signal synchronization routes. The provision of Measure M2 funds, both for periodic signal timing updates and traffic signal system infrastructure upgrades, are critical for successful traffic signal synchronization.

The City has completed the Seal Beach Boulevard Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (TSSP) via traffic engineering consultants and maintenance contractors. The Seal Beach Boulevard corridor was in the operations and maintenance (O&M) period until August 2025. The primary objective of improving traffic flow along the corridor was met. Every category of travel time reduction, average speed, increased green to red signal ratio, number of stops per mile and the CSPI has improved. Table 5-1 compares the results before and after the TSSP. Table 5-2 presents the signal timing revisions for the corridor. After the Seal Beach Boulevard TSSP O&M period ended, the City continued to monitor signal timing performance through on-call consultant staff.

In addition to the corridor synchronization, video detection improvements were made for better monitoring traffic conditions and managing traffic signals along Seal Beach Boulevard corridor.

Video detection cameras were installed on six additional intersections. Bike detection has become functional on all intersections throughout the corridor.

Caltrans recently has modified all the traffic signals along Pacific Coast Highway corridor within the city. Traffic signal controllers and the software were upgraded during the same project. Bike detection has become functional along the corridor. Caltrans also has upgraded the traffic signal at Seal Beach Boulevard and I-405 NB Off-Ramp/Old Ranch Parkway intersection. 12 TABLE 5-1: TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION

13 TABLE 5-2: SIGNAL TIMING REVISIONS
To evaluate performance across these corridors, the City has implemented a new, data-driven methodology based on probe-vehicle speed data. Under this methodology, average operating speed is compared with the corridor’s free-flow speed to calculate an Adjusted Level of Service (LOS). This metric provides a high level indication of corridor performance, capturing the effects of travel time, progression quality, and the frequency of stops. Average travel speed also indirectly reflects fuel consumption and emissions, offering an additional indicator of operational efficiency. Corridors operating at speeds closer to free flow conditions receive higher Adjusted LOS ratings, while those operating at lower speeds indicate reduced coordination efficiency and may warrant signal timing updates or additional review. To ensure consistency in evaluating performance, the following Adjusted LOS criteria are applied:

Using these criteria, the City evaluated each synchronized corridor by comparing its average percent of free flow speed during the AM, Mid day, and PM peak periods. The results are summarized in Table 5-2, which assigns an Adjusted Level of Service to each corridor and highlights locations where progression is strong, as well as corridors where reduced travel speeds indicate the need for timing updates or additional operational review.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Patrick Gallegos, City Manager
FROM: Iris Lee, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Approving and Authorizing Professional Services Agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc. for HVAC
Maintenance and Repair Services
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7793:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc. to provide HVAC Maintenance and Repair Services for a three (3) year term in a not-to-exceed amount of $144,336; and,

2. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the Agreement; and,

3. Authorizing the City Manager the option to extend the Agreement up to two (2) additional one-year terms after its original term at an adjusted rate for each optional term calculated on the lesser of either (a) the most recent cooperative purchasing program renewal pricing under Sourcewell Contract #080824-SIE in effect at time of election of the renewal option, or (b) six (6) percent of each term extension’s contract price; and,

4. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to approve repair services and additional work requests in the amount of $40,000 per year.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The City owns and maintains facilities with HVAC systems, which includes City Hall, Police Department Headquarters, and community centers. The HVAC systems provide proper heating and cooling for staff and visitors. Maintenance of these systems is usually performed by licensed contractors having the appropriate certification and expertise.

As the City’s existing HVAC Maintenance and Repair agreement is reaching its term limit, staff solicited for HVAC Maintenance and Repair Services (Work)

Page 2 ends

utilizing Sourcewell Contract #080824-SIE dated May 1, 2025, as permitted by the City of Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 3.20.025(D). This provision of the Municipal Code provides for an exemption from the City’s competitive bidding requirements for purchases made in cooperation with the state, the county or another government entity for the purpose of obtaining a lower price upon the same terms, conditions and specifications. Prices under this cooperative purchasing program are competitively solicited and provides the best overall government pricing.

On May 13, 2026, the City received a proposal from Siemens Industry, Inc. (Siemens) in the amount of $144,336 for a three (3) year term utilizing Sourcewell Contract #080824-SIE. The scope-of-work would generally include routine preventative maintenance for the following locations:
• Bolsa Chica Well
• City Hall
• City Yard
• Marina Community Center
• Mary Wilson Library & Senior Center
• North Seal Beach Community Center
• Police Department Headquarters
• Police Substation
• Seal Beach Tennis & Pickleball Center
The contract term is for three (3) years, and the City will have the option to extend the contract for up to two (2) additional one-year terms. The Agreement will allow for rates to be adjusted for each one-year renewal term. This rate would be the lesser of either (a) the most recent cooperative purchasing program renewal pricing, or (b) six (6) percent of each term extension’s contract price.

As the facilities’ HVAC systems require on-going repair services in addition to preventative maintenance, staff requests an annual repair allowance up to $40,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This item is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301(b) and (d) (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it would involve ongoing maintenance and repair of existing mechanical equipment involving no expansion of use.

LEGAL ANALYSIS:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement and resolution as to form.

Page 3 ends

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

All services under this Agreement would be related to general building and tidelands facilities maintenance. Costs incurred would be charged to the appropriate fund’s budget. Therefore, no additional appropriation is required at this time.

Funds for FY 2026-27 have been included in the proposed FY 2026-27 budget.

Expenditures associated with subsequent terms and optional term extensions will be budgeted in future fiscal years accordingly.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 7793:

2. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the Agreement; and,

4. Authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to approve repair services and additional work requests in the amount of $40,000 per year.
