Item No.: 8.D.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dominique Davis, City Clerk
DATE: September 4, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER AS

NATIONAL MENTAL AND SUBSTANCE-USE DISORDER

RECOVERY MONTH

RECOMMENDATION
Approve proclamation.

BACKGROUND
Each September, communities across the United States observe National Recovery Month to raise awareness of mental and substance-use disorders, highlight the effectiveness of treatment and recovery support services, and celebrate the strength of individuals in recovery.

Mental health and substance-use disorders continue to impact communities nationwide, including here in Seaside. According to state data, approximately two million Californians meet the criteria for substance-use disorder. These conditions not only affect individuals, but also families and neighborhoods.

Locally, organizations such as Sun Street Centers play an integral role in providing prevention, education, and treatment services. Their work helps reduce stigma, promote recovery, and foster healthier communities. By adopting this proclamation, the City of Seaside affirms its support for those affected and encourages residents to take part in programs and events that promote wellness and recovery.

The proclamation acknowledges the importance of addressing both mental health and substance-use disorders and emphasizes the power of community support in recovery.

Recognizing Recovery Month publicly aligns with the City’s ongoing commitment to Packet Page 19

Item No. 8.D. Page 2 of 2
public health, safety, and wellness.

Adopting this proclamation will:
• Raise awareness about available treatment and recovery resources. • Encourage residents to support friends, family, and neighbors in recovery. • Help reduce stigma surrounding mental illness and substance-use disorders. • Demonstrate the City Council’s commitment to fostering a resilient, healthy community.

Kee Hyon Higgins, Recreation Supervisor
DATE: September 4, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE MAYOR'S YOUTH FUND CONTRIBUTION REQUEST OF $3,000.00 FROM SEASIDE POLICE ACTIVITIES LEAGUE TO

ASSIST WITH THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR SPORTS

PROGRAMS

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the request.

BACKGROUND
The Seaside Police Activities League is requesting a donation of $3,000.00 from the Mayor's Youth Fund to cover the costs associated with expenses related to their sports programs, including the purchase of new equipment, uniforms, tournament fees, insurance, and registration costs related to transportation. The Seaside Police Activities League is a juvenile crime prevention program designed to provide athletic, recreational, and educational opportunities for at-risk youth. Seaside PAL was incorporated in February 2001. It is comprised of Police Officers, volunteers, Police Personnel, and Recreation Staff who serve as coaches, mentors, instructors, and role models.

All funds and donations for P.A.L. are used solely for the purpose of providing the resources needed to continue upholding P.A.L.'s mission. Seaside P.A.L.'s current activities include JR Giants Baseball, Youth Basketball, Youth Soccer, and youth leadership experience. The Seaside Police Department CHAMP Program also assists with the program. In 2016, the Seaside P.A.L. merged with the City of Seaside's Recreation Department to strengthen existing and future sports programs for Seaside youth.

Currently, the Seaside P.A.L. provides organized sports and activities to 200 + local Packet Page 22

Item No. 8.E. Page 2 of 2
youth. P.A.L teaches the importance of recycling, and collects bottles and cans after games and practices and places them in the appropriate recycling containers at the location they are at.

Based on the information provided in the application, the request meets the criteria for the Mayor’s Youth Fund Policy. They received their last donation at the June 20, 2024, City Council meeting. They submitted their 2024 Mayor's Youth Fund Closing Report within the 60-day time frame.

FISCAL IMPACT
This request would be funded by a donation from the Green Waste Recovery's donation to the Mayor's Youth Fund. The current balance of the Mayor's Youth Fund account (601-2106) is $53,122.20. If the City Council approves this request, the balance will decrease to $50,122.20. This is for fiscal year 2025/26.

In the event that all the funds in the Mayor's Youth Fund become exhausted, staff will keep a file of all applications. Once Green Waste issues the next round of funding, all applications on file will be processed at the next available City Council meeting.

FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
DATE: September 4, 2025
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION FOR AUTHORIZATION TO DISPOSE OF

SURPLUS CITY VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the disposal of select City vehicles and equipment.

BACKGROUND
Section 2.49 of the Seaside Municipal Code addresses the disposal of surplus items no longer needed or usable by a City department. It requires the City Manager to provide an itemized list of property to the City Council valued in excess of $100.00. Should the Council determine the items are no longer usable by the City, the City Manager or his designee will have the authority to dispose of all such items. Disposal would be accomplished by sale, auction or donation to any nonprofit organization or governmental entity providing services to the City or its residents, or to any Seaside Sister City.

Vehicles and equipment on the list below are no longer needed by the City. They have either been replaced by new equipment or they have reached the end of their useful life. The plan is to sell vehicles and equipment on the list using Public Surplus.com, an online auction site for government vehicles and equipment. Anything that is not sold at the auction will be donated or sold to a recycling facility. The values placed on the vehicles and equipment were estimated using the best judgment of past auction sales.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Kirstin van Gend, Administrative Analyst II
DATE: September 4, 2025
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AWARDING ON-CALL PROFESSIONAL

SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING AND
SURVEYING SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $250,000.000, AND

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND PERMITTING SERVICES IN
THE AMOUNT OF $500,000.00

RECOMMENDATION
Award contracts to Denise Duffy & Associates, Inc., Ecosystems West Consulting Group; EMC Planning Group, Inc., and Harris & Associates for on-call professional services; and award contract to Harris and Associates, Inc. for on-call civil engineering and surveying services.

BACKGROUND
The City has active and pending projects that require technical assistance from Environmental Planning and Permitting firms. Having four firms available allows the City to provide these services in a timely manner.

Individual project task orders will be issued based on the firm’s expertise, workload capacity, services to be performed, schedule requirements, and hourly rates submitted in their proposal. All task orders will be issued based on an agreed-upon, written scope of work, implementation schedule, and maximum fee arrangement negotiated on a project-by-project basis.

Selection of the best qualified firms was made in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Packet Page 37

Item No. 8.G. Page 2 of 3
Ordinance. On June 5, 2025, a Request for Proposal was issued and advertised through the City website. In addition, notification emails were sent to firms who expressed interest in providing Environmental Planning and Permitting Services to the City. Four (4) proposals were received on July 11, 2025. A selection committee, consisting of 4 staff members from the Engineering Division, independently evaluated and ranked the proposals. After deliberations, all four firms were deemed qualified:

Firm, Location
Denise Duffy & Associates, Inc., Monterey CA
EcoSystems West Consulting Group, Santa Cruz CA
EMC Planning Group, Inc., Monterey CA
Harris and Associates, Inc., Concord CA
The term of the agreements would be for an initial one (1) year period and will include an option for two (2) annual extensions which will occur automatically unless terminated in accordance with the contract. The total term of the agreements will not exceed three (3) years. The aggregate not-to-exceed fee for all tasks provided during the initial term of the agreement shall be $250,000.00. Tasks estimated to cost over $75,000 require a separate RFP. The proposed Professional Services Agreements would be managed by the Engineering Division.

Harris and Associates, Inc. will be awarded an On-Call Civil Engineering and Surveying Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $500,000.00. The firm submitted a proposal within the designated timeframe for the On-Call Civil Engineering and Surveying Request for Proposal issued in February 2025. Due to an oversight during the evaluation of the other awarded civil engineering firm contracts in July, their proposal was inadvertently not included in the initial selection process. The term of the agreement would be for an initial one (1) year period and will include an option for two (2) annual extensions which will occur automatically unless terminated in accordance with the contract. The total term of the agreement will not exceed three (3) years. The aggregate not-to-exceed fee for all tasks provided during the initial term of the agreement shall be $500,000.00. Tasks estimated to cost over $75,000 require a separate RFP. The proposed Professional Services Agreements would be managed by the Engineering Division.

Alternatives
Council could decide not to award these Environmental Planning and Permitting Services Professional Services Agreements and direct staff to issue requests for proposals for each project individually. However, this alternative is not recommended as there is a significant backlog of funded projects for which outside Environmental Planning and Permitting Services are required to augment City staff. Further, having pre-approved, on-call, as-needed firms readily available allows for more efficient and timely delivery of projects as multiple projects can be designed concurrently.

Packet Page 38

Item No. 8.G. Page 3 of 3
Environmental Determination
The City of Seaside determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fees for Environmental Planning and Permitting will be based on a project-by-project basis directly charged to individual project budgets. Each project is separately approved and budgeted by the Council. The City is under no obligation to expend any funds under these Professional Services Agreements.
