FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dominique Davis, City Clerk
DATE: October 2, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING OCTOBER AS
NATIONAL DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH
RECOMMENDATION
Approve proclamation.
BACKGROUND
National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a nationwide campaign held every October to raise awareness about disability employment issues and to celebrate the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities.
The observance began in 1945 when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week of October "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week." In 1962, the word “physically” was removed to acknowledge the employment needs of people with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and renamed it National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
The 2025 observance marks the 80th anniversary of this important recognition.
By adopting this proclamation, the City of Seaside demonstrates its commitment to fostering inclusivity, diversity, and equitable opportunities in the workplace and the community. NDEAM emphasizes the importance of ensuring that workplaces welcome the talents of all individuals, including those with disabilities, thereby strengthening both our economy and community fabric.
The City of Seaside encourages local employers, schools, and community organizations to use this month to highlight disability awareness, promote inclusive practices, and Packet Page 20
Item No. 8.D. Page 2 of 2
provide opportunities that enhance accessibility for all.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.F.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Kirstin van Gend, Administrative Analyst II
DATE: October 2, 2025
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AWARDING ON-CALL PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING IN THE
AMOUNT OF $250,000.00
RECOMMENDATION
Award the agreement.
BACKGROUND
The City has active and pending projects that require technical assistance from Traffic Engineering firms. Having three 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 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 Traffic Engineering Services to the City. Five (5) proposals were received on July 11, 2025. A selection committee, consisting of 3 staff members from the Engineering Division, independently evaluated and ranked the proposals. After deliberations, the top three ranked firms are as follows:
Packet Page 31
Item No. 8.F. Page 2 of 3
Firm, Location
Parametrix, Inc., Emeryville, CA
Kimley-Horn and Associate, Inc., Orange, CA
Interwest, Irvine, CA
The proposed Professional Services Agreements would be managed by the Engineering Division.
Alternatives
Council could decide not to award these Traffic Engineering 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 Traffic Engineering 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.
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 Traffic Engineering 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.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the amendment.
BACKGROUND
Geosyntec is an approved consultant on the City's On-Call list approved by City Council on May 16, 2024. They have experience performing environmental investigation, excavation, and reporting work in the Phase 1A Development Area. Over the last few months, it was discovered that the extent of the lead-based-paint impacts on the soil was wider than originally anticipated.
On June 17, 2024, the City Manager signed a contract with Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec) for Environmental Consultant Services - Phase 1A Preliminary Endangerment Assessment and Phase 1B Document Review for an amount not to exceed $24,800.00. The scope of services and associated budget in the proposal included: environmental consultation, document preparation, and agency coordination services related to the properties near the intersection of Lightfighter Drive and General Jim Moore Boulevard in Seaside.
On October 3, 2024, City Council approved Amendment 1 to the contract to increase the amount by $62,4000.00 for supplemental soil sampling services for Campus Town Phase 1A, and on November 21, 2024 Amendment 2 was approved, increasing the Packet Page 40
Item No. 8.G. Page 2 of 3
contract by another $159,300.00 for soil removal, additional testing and reporting services for Campus Town Phase 1A. Amendment 3 was approved by the City Manager on June 20, 2025 to extend the Geosyntec contract through June 30, 2026 and did not include an increase to the contract amount.
Geosyntec submitted a proposal on August 13, 2025, for $43,100.00. The scope of services is for supplemental soil sampling for Campus Town Phases 1B, 2A, and 2B near the intersection of General Jim Moore Boulevard and Gigling Road, also known as Fort Ord Surplus II Areas. This will include environmental sampling, tabulation of data, and evaluation of results. Staff reviewed the scope and fee of the proposal, and found it acceptable.
Staff recommends adopting a resolution authorizing an amendment to the professional services agreement with Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. to provide supplemental soil sampling services for Campus Town Phases 1B, 2A, and 2B for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $43,100.00 and written amendments such that the total agreement does not exceed $383,600.00.
A project contingency of 10% of Amendment 4 total ($43,100.00), or $4,310.00, is requested for unforeseen circumstances.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed contract amendment with Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. for additional services related to Campus Town Phase 1A is in the amount of $43,100.00. A 10% contingency adds $4,310.00 for a total of $47,410.00

Subject: Proposal for Environmental Consulting Services Supplemental Soil Sampling – Phases 1B, 2A, and 2B
City of Seaside, Former Fort Ord
General Jim Moore Boulevard & Gigling Road
Seaside, California
Dear Ms. Damon,
Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Seaside (Seaside), to provide supplemental soil sampling services at Campus Town Phases 1B, 2A, and 2B near the intersection of General Jim Moore Boulevard and Gigling Road, Seaside, California (Site). Seaside has acquired the Site, known as the Fort Ord Surplus II Areas, from the United States Department of Defense that was part of the former Fort Ord Army Base. Seaside established development areas (e.g., Phase 1B) within the Seaside city limits. Seaside has entered into a development agreement with a master developer to implement a mixed-use development project (Campus Town). The development will include high density residential housing, single family homes, commercial business and retail, and associated public facilities such as parks, open space, and schools.
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF WORK
The objective of Geosyntec’s services for this proposal is to further evaluate potential impacts related to lead-based paint (LBP), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) within Phases 1B, 1A, and 2B. This will involve collecting supplemental soil samples in the vicinity of Buildings 4403a, 4405, 4413, 4450a (also known as R443), and 4483 in City of Seaside_Phase1B sampling.docx
EXHIBIT A-3
Docusign Envelope ID: FA33BE6F-4119-4B46-B1A5-C3CBFB9813DE Packet Page 47
City of Seaside
August 13, 2025
accordance with DTSC’s Interim Guidance Evaluation of School Sites. 1 Additionally, soil will be
sampled around three pad-mounted electrical transformers to test for environmental impacts related to the potential presence of PCBs in the historical transformers. The scope of work, involving environmental sampling, tabulation of data, and evaluation of the results, is described below.
Task 1 – Supplemental Soil Investigation
To evaluate existing structures for potential impacts related to LBP and OCPs prior to demolition, Geosyntec proposes to collect surface and near-surface soil samples from 0 to 6 inches and 2 to
2.5 feet below ground surface (bgs) at 20 designated locations surrounding five buildings:
• Building 4405 (Burger King) – 2 locations;
• Building 4403a (Fire Station Shed) – 4 locations;
• Building 4483 (Chapel Building) – 6 locations;
• Building 4450a (Outbuilding) – 4 locations; and
• Building 4413 (Southwest Structure) – 4 locations.
Where asphalt or concrete is encountered, a subcontractor (anticipated to be Penhall) will use a concrete coring machine to expose soil, after which Geosyntec staff will collect samples using a clean hand trowel or hand auger. Soil will be placed in laboratory-provided jars. Notes will be taken during hand augering describing soil consistency and any pertinent observations.
Transformer sampling will be conducted in accordance with the DTSC Interim Guidance Evaluation of School Sites, which calls for pole-mounted units to be sampled at one location near the base or stained areas, and pad-mounted units to be sampled at two locations. For budgeting purposes, Geosyntec has planned to sample soil from around three pad-mounted transformers to evaluate environmental impacts related to potential PCB-containing transformer oil. Each location will yield one surface sample (0–6 inches bgs) and one subsurface sample (approximately 2 to 2.5 feet bgs). The DTSC Interim Guidance Evaluation of School Sites allows for subsurface soils to 1 Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), 2006.

be put on hold pending the results of the surface samples. For this cost estimate, Geosyntec assumes that all 12 samples will be analyzed for PCBs.
All samples will be transported under standard chain-of-custody protocol to Enthalpy Analytical in Orange, California. Samples will be analyzed for lead by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 6010B, OCPs by USEPA Method 8081, and PCBs by USEPA Method 8280. Samples will be analyzed under standard turnaround time. Remaining soil cuttings will be left in place or replaced in the boring.
Assumptions
• A total of 26 borings will be advanced by Geosyntec to 2 feet bgs using a combination of trowel and hand auger. Twenty locations will be advanced at locations surrounding the five buildings listed above, and six borings will be advanced at locations surrounding the three pad-mounted transformers.
• A total of 40 soil samples will be analyzed for lead by USEPA Method 6010B and for OCPs by USEPA Method 8081. A total of 12 soil samples will be analyzed for PCBs by USEPA Method 8280.
• Geosyntec assumes that 15 locations will require concrete coring. Penhall or a similar contractor will be subcontracted by Geosyntec to perform the coring. The concrete and/or asphalt coring is assumed to take one day.
• The field effort is assumed to take two 12-hour days. The first day will consist of oversight of concrete coring by Penhall and hand augering; the second day will consist of hand augering. Two staff are assumed for the first day of field work and one staff is assumed for the second day of field work.
Pre-field mobilization activities will include subcontractor coordination and health and safety preparations. The total estimated cost for this task is $28,200.
Task 2 – Supplemental Soil Investigation Report
Following receipt of the analytical results from the laboratory, Geosyntec will perform a review of the data to confirm that they are of suitable quality. Within approximately three business days following the receipt of the analytical data, Geosyntec will prepare a summary table to provide to Seaside in order to discuss potential follow-up actions. Geosyntec will prepare a letter report

summarizing the methods and results of the soil sampling and laboratory analyses, conclusions, and recommendations. The report will be provided to Seaside within approximately three weeks following receipt of the final data set from the laboratory.
Geosyntec has assumed a total of 50 hours for this effort, for a total estimated effort of $14,900.
ESTIMATED COST, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS
Geosyntec proposes to conduct these services on a time and materials basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Professional Services Agreement between Geosyntec and the City of Seaside executed July 3, 2024. .

Item No.: 9.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Assistant City Manager
Kee Hyon Higgins, Recreation Supervisor
DATE: October 2, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE MAYOR'S YOUTH FUND CONTRIBUTION REQUEST OF $3,000.00 FROM SEASIDE MIDDLE SCHOOL TO ASSIST WITH
THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR ANNUAL FOOD FLEX
COURSE FOR THEIR EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the request.
BACKGROUND
Seaside Middle School is requesting a donation of $3,000.00 from the Mayor's Youth Fund to assist with the costs of their Annual Food Flex Course for their eighth grade students. This course will provide a culinary pathway to the culinary courses offered when students attend Seaside High School , as well as connecting them to Monterey Peninsula College's culinary department, if they pursue further studies in college. It gives students some real-life skills that they can take from the classroom and implement at home or in their community spaces almost immediately.
Their Annual Food Flex Course will provide food, safety materials for food service, preparation, dish creations, and any necessary kitchen equipment for their students.
The course will include field trips to bakeries, farms, farmers' markets, and other related curricular needs that serve the enrichment of student exploration and exposure of the course with regard to the Hospitality/Management industry. The course will help their students understand the importance of not wasting food by taking food scrapes and composting: donating these portions to their Science department, which takes the scraps and recycles them for plants and crops they grow for the beautification of the school campus. They will learn about food scarcity and community resources to help Packet Page 53
Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 2
their families and others. Their students will also learn mathematical computations that allow them to stretch recipes and serve their communities during special events. They will volunteer to help with kitchen lunch prep with school personnel and staff, once a week, so they respect the labor that comes with producing their lunches.
Based on the information provided, staff has determined that the application meets the requirements of the Mayor's Youth Fund Policy. This is the first time that Seaside Middle School has requested a donation for their Annual Food Flex Course.
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 $44,122.20. If the City Council approves this request, the balance will decrease to $41,122.20. 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.

to:
In the 2024 -2025 School Year, I launched a Food & Nutrition Curriculum from scratch for 65 8th graders at Seaside Middle School because I had some prior culinary experience with the U.S. Navy. The class turned out to be such a success that they have allowed an additional class of 35 students to enroll this year, but we don't have the resources we need to fund the class. Due to school budget cuts. We have fiscal proof and documentation of financial records, permission slips, etc, to show participation last year, not to mention a list of community partnerships and donations from various local organizations that sponsored some of the resources we needed last year to build the program. We would love to continue it this year! What's terrific is that it provides a culinary pathway to the culinary courses offered when students possibly attend
Seaside High in the future, as well as connecting to MPC's culinary department, if they pursue further studies in college. It also gives students some real-life skills that they can take from the classroom and implement at home or in their community spaces almost immediately!

exploration and exposure of the course with regard to the Hospitality/Management industry. From the Nutrition aspect of it, students also understand the importance of not wasting food by taking food scraps and composting; donating these portions to our Science department, which takes these scraps and recycles them for plants and crops they grow for the
beautification of the school campus. They learn about food scarcity and community resources to help their families and others, both inside and outside of the classroom. Sometimes the trickle-down becomes snacks donated to after-school programs or academic incentives. Then also learn
Mathematical computations that allow them to stretch recipes and serve their communities during special events. I also emphasize that they learning where their food comes from, and that preparation of it is in the service of others, so they also will volunteer to help with kitchen lunch prep with school personnel and staff, once a week, so they respect the labor that comes with producing their lunches. Lastly, they internalize and write about what they eat and examine why or why not they
consume certain foods; what is healthy for them and maybe not so much.

What other fundraising
activities are you
participating in to fund your
event, program or activity
and what other funding
sources will supplement your
request?
As a community school, we plan to reach out to both previous and new vendors this year to see what other supports, goods, or experiences they can provide. For instance, last year we partnered with Palermo Bakery to make pizza from scratch; they provided the dough at a wholesale cost to me so that I could give students that experience, which allowed them a pizza-building workshop that they were able to participate in that they did themselves. Then they took these pizzas home and baked them with their families to share in that experience.
Another time during the Holidays, Grocery Outlet donated 70 Gingerbread houses to students, so I taught them the
properties of sugar, frosting, decor/etc It allowed them to be creative and seemed to bring a lot of holiday cheer at a time when many student families were struggling just to put food on the table.
Total Amount Requested: Last year, running the entire program cost close to $3000. I split the funds in half for both the fall and spring terms and stretched them over time; not to mention, every workshop, I always got a vendor to donate some portion of the food; then I shopped at our designated purchase order partnerships and made sure I took advantage of every discount I could find. The only downer was that I had to cancel their end-of-the-year BBQ because we ran out of funds the final month of the school year.

Dominique Davis, City Clerk
DATE: October 2, 2025
SUBJECT: STRATEGIC PLAN QUARTERLY UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the first quarterly update to the 2025-2026 Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside’s Strategic Plan serves as the foundation for policy direction, resource allocation, and performance accountability, reflecting the shared vision of building a vibrant, inclusive, and resilient community.
In February 2025, the City Council and Executive Leadership Team refined the Strategic Plan through a process that included review of prior work plan data and surveys, Council and management interviews, and Strategic Planning Sessions with departmental spotlights, prioritization activities, and community input. Through this process, several key insights emerged:
• Seaside’s strength lies in its diversity, resilience, and committed staff. • A “Yes We Can” culture persists, with staff going above and beyond despite leadership transitions and staffing constraints.
• Strong alignment exists on the need for greater collaboration, transparency, and Packet Page 61
Item No. 9.B. Page 2 of 3
responsiveness.
• Modernizing outdated systems and processes will unlock efficiency and capacity. • Streamlined communication and stronger community engagement are critical for sustained success.
• Sequencing work effectively will help maximize limited resources.
The resulting 2025–2026 Strategic Plan, formally adopted on June 24, 2025, reaffirms five high-impact priorities:
• Effective, Accessible Governance – Promote transparency, operational excellence, and fiscal stewardship.
• Vibrant Local Economy – Support small business growth and advance transformative development.
• Diverse & Inclusive Community – Foster belonging, expand housing access, and elevate cultural life.
• Enhanced Infrastructure & Water Supply – Invest in sustainable water systems, safe streets, and resilient facilities.
• Community Safety & Quality of Life – Strengthen public safety, neighborhood livability, and recreation.
To strengthen implementation, the plan introduced measurable objectives (OKRs), quarterly reviews, impact factors such as funding and collaboration, and a color-coded tracking system to categorize initiatives as In Progress, Delayed, Completed, or Not Yet Started.
At the October 2, 2025 meeting, staff will present the first quarterly progress update.
The report will highlight accomplishments, challenges, and upcoming milestones under each Strategic Priority, and will provide an updated visual and color-coded tracking.

The City of Seaside stands at a transformative moment—proud of our momentum, cleareyed about our challenges, and energized by new leadership and renewed commitment to our shared vision.
Adopted in 2023, Seaside’s streamlined Strategic Plan centered five powerful priorities:
These pillars continue to reflect the heart of Seaside’s mission and aspirations: to be a vibrant, proudly diverse, energetic, and safe community with extraordinary natural beauty, economic opportunity, and high quality of life.
Over the past two years, Seaside’s departments have delivered significant wins across these priority areas. From the completion of the General Plan and continued development of Campus Town and Seagrove Apartments, to major infrastructure improvements, public safety enhancements, and expansion of community recreation and engagement programs—Seaside has shown that even with limited resources, we can and do achieve great things together.
At the February 2025 Strategic Planning Session, City Council and Department Heads reaffirmed the power of the current framework—and identified where sharper focus, stronger alignment, and more sustainable implementation can accelerate impact into 2026.
Packet Page 65
The following list outlines the initiatives and projects that various City of Seaside Departments will undertake, as well as concepts to be explored during the 2025-2026 Fiscal Years, to advance the Council’s Strategic Pillars. This dynamic plan reflects the City’s commitment to progress and adaptability, allowing for additional projects and initiatives to be incorporated as community needs evolve. The Council will continue to reassess and refine these efforts as part of ongoing evaluations of the Strategic Plan or in response to emerging operational requirements.
To the right of each subgoal, you will find a list of impact factors, highlighting the critical elements necessary for successful goal achievement. Each goal will be accompanied by an indicator that identifies the key factors essential to its success. These impacts are defined as follows:
ONGOING
Initiatives that require consistent attention, maintenance, or implementation over time to ensure sustained progress and impact.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Initiatives that require significant outreach to, and input from, the public. This includes community meetings, stakeholder feedback, surveys, and other participatory planning efforts essential to the goal’s development or execution.
