BY: Dominique Davis, City Clerk
DATE: October 16, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING NOVEMBER 11, 2025, AS VETERANS DAY
RECOMMENDATION
Approve proclamation.
BACKGROUND
Veterans Day is observed annually on November 11 to honor the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States. Originally known as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, the holiday was officially renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to acknowledge all U.S. veterans who served honorably in wartime or peacetime.
The City of Seaside, with its deep ties to the military through the historic presence of Fort Ord and its proximity to active-duty and retired service members, has long valued and celebrated the contributions of our veterans. This proclamation serves as a formal reaffirmation of the City’s gratitude and commitment to honoring those who have worn the uniform in defense of our nation's ideals.
The 2025 Veterans Day Proclamation publicly recognizes the immeasurable contributions of veterans to the preservation of liberty, democracy, and peace. Through this ceremonial item, the City seeks to promote community-wide reflection, appreciation, and engagement in observances that pay tribute to those who have served.
Local commemorations are anticipated throughout the Monterey Peninsula, and the proclamation reinforces Seaside’s role as a partner in honoring our veteran community.

SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING NOVEMBER 4-11, 2025, AS OPERATION GREEN LIGHT WEEK IN SUPPORT OF

RECOMMENDATION
Approve proclamation.
BACKGROUND
Operation Green Light is a nationwide initiative led by the National Association of Counties (NACo) and other veteran advocacy groups to raise awareness of the unique challenges faced by veterans transitioning to civilian life and to honor their service and sacrifice.
This campaign encourages counties, cities, and residents to display green lights in visible locations during the week leading up to Veterans Day.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dominique Davis, City Clerk
DATE: October 16, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING NOVEMBER AS
AMERICAN INDIAN HERITAGE MONTH
RECOMMENDATION
Approve proclamation.
BACKGROUND
Since 1990, the United States has formally recognized American Indian Heritage Month each November as a national observance to celebrate the culture, history, and contributions of Native peoples. In California—home to more federally recognized tribes than any other state—this recognition is especially important.
Locally, the Monterey Bay region rests on the ancestral lands of the Ohlone, Esselen, and Amah Mutsun peoples. Their legacy remains present in local landscapes, stories, and cultural practices. This proclamation acknowledges that legacy and aligns with the City of Seaside’s efforts to promote inclusion, cultural awareness, and community education.
The proclamation affirms the City’s commitment to honor Native American communities—past, present, and future—through civic recognition and public engagement. It encourages residents to participate in educational programming, cultural events, and meaningful reflection throughout the month of November and beyond.
This action is consistent with statewide and national observances and complements the City’s efforts to advance equity, cultural visibility, and historical acknowledgment.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.E.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Melissa Broadston, ESCA Program Manager
DATE: October 16, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES COOPERATIVE
AGREEMENT (ESCA) REPORT COVERING ACTIVITIES FROM
JULY THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2025
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Environmental Services Cooperative Agreement (ESCA) report covering activities from July through September 2025 as presented.
BACKGROUND
The Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA) officially closed all operations on June 30, 2020.
Prior to sunset, the City of Seaside and FORA entered into a Memorandum of Agreement nominating Seaside as FORA’s Environmental Services Cooperative Agreement (ESCA) Successor-In-Interest (Successor). Seaside is now responsible to perform the remaining Long-Term Obligations (LTO) management responsibilities related to U.S. Army (Army) Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) on ESCA property until June 30, 2028. A summary of the ESCA remediation program to date is provided below. A quarterly report is required to be prepared and submitted to the Army after review and acceptance by the City Council.
FORA ESCA Remediation Program Background:
In 2007, the Army and FORA entered into an agreement for Army-funded ESCA for the removal of the remnant MEC on 3,340 acres of the former Fort Ord. Under the ESCA terms, the Army awarded FORA approximately $98 million to perform Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) MEC cleanup on those parcels. FORA also entered into the Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) (collectively referred to as regulatory agencies) Packet Page 20
Item No. 8.E. Page 2 of 4
defining FORA’s contractual conditions to complete the Army remediation obligations for the “ESCA parcels.” FORA received ESCA property ownership after EPA approval and gubernatorial concurrence under a Finding of Suitability for Early Transfer in 2009.
The ESCA properties received Records of Decision (ROD) documenting controls required to protect public health and safety and Land Use Control Implementation Plan (LUCIP) / Operation and Maintenance Plan (OMP) implementation, operation and maintenance ROD controls tailored to individual site conditions and historic MEC use. The final ESCA LUCIP/OMP documents were accepted by the Army and Regulators in February 2019.
These ESCA properties received the last EPA Remedial Action Completion letter in February 2019. The EPA issued a site-wide ESCA remedial completion certificate in April 2020.
Remedial Action Completion initiated the Army's long-term obligations on ESCA properties. To complete the ESCA and the AOC obligations, the Successor, Seaside, is required to complete a truncated series of tasks until the expiration on June 30, 2028, to include site investigation and monitoring, ensuring compliance with the land use controls for ESCA parcels by land holding jurisdictions, mitigation, monitoring, reporting for any potential or found munitions and explosives of concern, and public information and outreach regarding land use. Should any instances of MEC occur, the contractors of Arcadis, Inc., Weston Solutions, Inc. and Westcliffe Engineers, Inc. will assist with providing LTO support services.
ESCA QUARTERLY UPDATE
Jurisdiction Coordination
ESCA property could not be transferred to the jurisdictions until Army deed modifications and issuance of the Army CERCLA Warranties/Deed Amendments were completed. The ESCA property Army CERCLA Warranty and Deed modification documents were recorded in Monterey County on June 26, 2020. The receiving jurisdictions signed and recorded these deeds and have final ownership of their ESCA properties.
There are a few remaining property transfer tasks. Work continues to transfer the last two Economic Development Conveyance parcels from Army ownership to their designated recipients: Monterey-Salinas Transit Parcels L2.3 and L2.4.1. This transfer will also include a Covenant to Restrict the Use of Property for both of these parcels.
ESCA staff continues to host LTO Management, and Property, Planning, Police, and Property Manager quarterly meetings with all land holding jurisdictions and the Army.
These meetings discuss and review projects or other activities as outlined by the LUCIPs that are included with their properties. A quarterly meeting was held on August 6, 2025.
ESCA submitted the revised Final Construction Support Plan for the Seaside storm water Packet Page 21
Item No. 8.E. Page 3 of 4
infiltration system repair project. There were no comments. ESCA will provide the required After-Action Report for the in-progress Monterey One Water Pipeline Phase 4 project upon completion.
ESCA also assisted with documentation for several small (less than 10 cubic yards in locations with a low probability to encounter munitions) projects for the City of Seaside (San Pablo Traffic Calming), Monterey County (Parker Flats trailhead improvement project), and California American pipeline installation.
Given the history of the former Fort Ord as an Army base, munitions may be encountered during reuse of the property. ESCA outreach specific to the munitions safety awareness class at FortOrdSafety.com serves as an important resource to remind community members who might discover suspicious objects to follow the 3Rs of explosives safety – Recognize, Retreat, and Report. ESCA is responsible for the maintenance and participant tracking for the English and Spanish version of the free online training class at Fort Ord Safety.com. The training at FortOrdSafety.com supplements and compliments the Army’s on-site munitions safety training program as an important community asset for the use of the lands of the former Fort Ord.
Participation in this training remains robust.
The ESCA team continues to conduct weekly patrols of Seaside’s ESCA properties and bi-weekly patrols of other ESCA properties. ESCA patrols also included debris removal.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.F.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Andreas Baer, Assistant Public Works Director
DATE: October 16, 2025
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AGREEMENTS WITH COASTAL FABRICATIONS, INC FOR A NEW 90" STORM DRAIN
OUTFALL STRUCTURE AND INSTALLATION IN THE AMOUNT OF
$125,296.04 PLUS A 20% CONTINGENCY
RECOMMENDATION
Approve agreements.
BACKGROUND
On June 27, 2025, engineering staff requested quotes from three companies for services to construct and install a new outflow structure for the 90" storm drain outfall.
Staff received quotes from two companies, while the third was non-responsive. Coastal Fabrications Inc. submitted the low bid of a total of $125,296.04.
The storm drain outfall serves Sand City and the majority of Seaside. Once cleared, the outfall functions well even in high surf. However, if the outfall plugs badly enough, it leads to flooding in Sand City. The outfall is constructed with a duckbill terminating in the sand and a backup outlet that is too far up the beach, which has caused serious erosion and property damage in the past. Seaside's existing Duckbill one-way valve is torn and has failed. The emergency overflow can get blocked with sand, and is susceptible to being plugged with trash and debris.
Many options for reconstructing the outfall have been considered, including, but not limited to: extending the outfall into the ocean beyond the waves, constructing a seawall in front of the outfall, installing a pump or pumps to clear the outfall with jets of water, pumping storm water in from Sand City to increase pressure in the storm drain, etc. these options may work, but are more costly to design and build, and are difficult Packet Page 24
Item No. 8.F. Page 2 of 3
to install. The new outfall structure proposed here bolts to the end of the existing outfall. It has gated overflow valves at varying elevations in the duck bill. The intention is to have the overflow at the duckbill, so its wash water will be focused directly on the duckbill clearing it. The new structures used a series of gates installed at different elevations which would close by gravity, preventing sand from pushing back up the pipe. If the lower gates are closed and blocked with sand, the upper gates should open flowing storm water and progressively clear the lower gates and duckbill. This structure bolts to the existing headwall, and can be installed with no environmental impact beyond what occurs now operating the outfall. This design is untested, and due to the nature of the situation, staff believes the structure may have difficulties and will still need monitoring, maintenance or modification. Staff believes this is a relatively lowcost, low-impact solution and should be tried.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing:
1. The City Manager to execute a Contract Services Agreement (Attachment 2) with Coastal Fabrications Inc. for an amount $125,296.04 plus a 20% contingency of $25,059.21 for a not-to-exceed amount of $150,355.25
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Per Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Chapter 3, “Guidelines for Implementation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),” Article 19, “Categorical Exemptions,” Section 15302 (c) the following Class 2 actions are categorically exempt:
Class 2 consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced, including but not limited to:
Examples include but are not limited to:
(c) Replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity
The replacement of an existing storm drain outfall is maintenance of a publicly-owned utility and is therefore considered categorically exempt as described above.
FISCAL IMPACT
The following proposals were received:
Coastal Fabrication Inc.: $125,296.04
Metal Specialties: $221,500.00
ARC Metal Fabrication: Non - Responsive
Packet Page 25
Item No. 8.F. Page 3 of 3
CIP Project Account (271-8910-9963)
Available Funding: $484,075.00
Duckbill Purchase: $ 94,382.66
Outfall Structure and Installation: $150,355.25
Remaining Funding $239,337.09
Staff recommends a 20% contingency for this work due to fluctuating tariffs and material prices. In addition, the outfall structure will require manufacturer shop drawings, and detailed design may lead to design innovations or improvements that could allow better performance of the outfall structure.
There are sufficient funds in the 90-Inch Storm Drain Improvements CIP Project Account (271-8910-9963) for the Contractor Services Agreement with Coastal Fabrications for an amount $125,296.04 plus a 20% contingency of $25,059.21 for a not-to-exceed $150,355.25.

SCOPE OF WORK
I am looking for three quotes for someone to build an overflow structure for our 90" outfall storm drain structure that drains Sand City and most of Seaside. The structure currently gets plugged up with sand, and then does not drain. It has an overflow designed to clear the outfall, but that fills in with sand and is too far up the beach to be helpful. Last time it overflowed at that point it did a lot of damage to the adjacent dune. I want an overflow that is tied in at the discharge point, and that will have flap gates so that sand can’t push back up against it. Attached is a rough plan for something I think that would work. Do you think you would be able to give me a quote on this, and do you think you could build it for me?
Thank you,
Andreas Baer P.E.

INSURANCE
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors shall maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. CONTRACTOR will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth herein, CONTRACTOR agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so.
CONTRACTOR acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to CONTRACTOR or its subcontractors in excess of the limits and coverage identified in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, claim or demand, will be equally available to AGENCY.
A. CONTRACTOR shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Without limiting CONTRACTOR’s indemnification of AGENCY, and prior to commencement of Work, CONTRACTOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to AGENCY.
General liability insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage, and a $2,000,000 completed operations aggregate. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Automobile liability insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.
Umbrella or excess liability insurance. [Optional depending on limits required] CONTRACTOR shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or excess liability insurance that Packet Page 40
New Wall For 90” Outfall
Exhibit C
will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond in the event that any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectable in whole or in part for any reason;
• Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; • Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies; and • Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.
Workers’ compensation insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000) for CONTRACTOR’s employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Section 3700 of the Labor Code. In addition, CONTRACTOR shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Section 3700 for all of the subcontractor’s employees.
CONTRACTOR shall submit to AGENCY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of AGENCY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.

Environmental Impairment Liability Insurance shall be written on a CONTRACTOR’s Pollution Liability form or other form acceptable to AGENCY providing coverage for liability arising out of sudden, accidental and gradual pollution and remediation. The policy limit shall be no less than $1,000,000 dollars per claim and in the aggregate. All activities contemplated in this Agreement shall be specifically scheduled on the policy as “covered operations.” The policy shall provide coverage for the hauling of waste from the project site to the final disposal location, including nonowned disposal sites.
Builder’s risk insurance. Upon commencement of construction and with approval of AGENCY, CONTRACTOR shall obtain and maintain builder’s risk insurance for the entire duration of the Project until only the AGENCY has an insurable interest. The Builder’s Risk coverage shall include the coverages as specified below.
The named insureds shall be CONTRACTOR and AGENCY, including its officers, officials, employees, and agents. All Subcontractors (excluding those solely responsible for design Work) of any tier and suppliers shall be included as additional insureds as their interests Packet Page 41
New Wall For 90” Outfall
Exhibit C
may appear. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to maintain property insurance for any portion of the Project following transfer of control thereof to AGENCY. The policy shall contain a provision that all proceeds from the builder’s risk policy shall be made payable to the AGENCY. The AGENCY will act as a fiduciary for all other interests in the Project.
Policy shall be provided for replacement value on an "all risk" basis for the completed value of the project. There shall be no coinsurance penalty or provisional limit provision in any such policy. Policy must include: (1) coverage for any ensuing loss from faulty workmanship, Nonconforming Work, omission or deficiency in design or specifications; (2) coverage against machinery accidents and operational testing; (3) coverage for removal of debris, and insuring the buildings, structures, machinery, equipment, materials, facilities, fixtures and all other properties constituting a part of the Project; (4) Ordinance or law coverage for contingent rebuilding, demolition, and increased costs of construction; (5) transit coverage (unless insured by the supplier or receiving contractor), with sub-limits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any key equipment item; (6) Ocean marine cargo coverage insuring any Project materials or supplies, if applicable; (7) coverage with sub-limits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any property or equipment stored either on or off the Site or any staging area. Such insurance shall be on a form acceptable to Agency to ensure adequacy of terms and sublimits and shall be submitted to the Agency prior to commencement of construction.
Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance to AGENCY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by AGENCY’s risk manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with AGENCY at all times during the term of this contract. AGENCY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of coverage. CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by CONTRACTOR, his agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.

Packet Page 42
New Wall For 90” Outfall
Exhibit C
Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONTRACTOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by AGENCY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of AGENCY before the AGENCY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Products/completed operations coverage. Products/completed operations coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion. Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors. If the insured is using subcontractors, the Policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy shall contain no language that would invalidate or remove the insurer’s duty to defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer. The AGENCY, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, shall be included as additional insureds under the Products and Completed Operations coverage.
Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, AGENCY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by AGENCY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or AGENCY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, AGENCY may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the AGENCY’s risk manager.
Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against AGENCY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONTRACTOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against AGENCY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Packet Page 43
New Wall For 90” Outfall
Exhibit C
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the AGENCY to inform CONTRACTOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the AGENCY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the AGENCY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the AGENCY.
Notice of cancellation. CONTRACTOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to AGENCY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that AGENCY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to AGENCY and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by CONTRACTOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, Packet Page 44
New Wall For 90” Outfall
Exhibit C
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to AGENCY for review.
Agency’s right to revise requirements. The AGENCY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR a ninety (90) day advance written notice of such change.
If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the AGENCY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by AGENCY. AGENCY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by AGENCY.
Timely notice of claims. CONTRACTOR shall give AGENCY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONTRACTOR’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. CONTRACTOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Work.

Item No.: 8.G.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Andreas Baer, Assistant Public Works Director
DATE: October 16, 2025
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A
NEW DUCKBILL ONE-WAY VALVE FROM LEIGH VALLEY VALVE
LLC FOR THE 90" STORM DRAIN OUTFALL STRUCTURE IN THE
AMOUNT OF $82,071.88 PLUS A 15% CONTINGENCY
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize purchase.
BACKGROUND
On September 25th, 2025, engineering staff requested quotes from five suppliers for a made-to-order duckbill one-way valve to replace the failed 84' valve currently installed at Seaside's main storm drain outfall. Staff received quotes from three companies.
Leigh Valley Valve LLC submitted the lowest price of a total of $82,071.88 including tax and shipping. .
Seaside's existing Duckbill one-way valve is torn and has failed. In its existing condition, the duckbill allows ocean waves to push sand up the outfall pipe, clogging Seaside's main storm drain outfall to the ocean. This storm drain outfall serves Sand City and the majority of Seaside. If the outfall plugs badly enough, it leads to flooding in Sand City.
Installing a new outlet valve does not prevent the outfall from being buried in sand, requiring ongoing maintenance. However, the duckbill will reduce the severity of the problem, increase the likelihood of self-clearing, and allow manual clearing of the pipe to be completed more easily.
This valve is made-to-order. Due to constantly changing tariffs, and potential changes that may come up during manufacturing, staff recommends council approve a 15% Packet Page 46

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing:
1. The City Manager to purchase a replacement one-way valve for $82,071.88 plus up to an additional 15% contingency in the amount of $12,310.78 for a total notto-exceed $94,382.66.

Kee Hyon Higgins, Recreation Supervisor
DATE: October 16, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVE A REQUEST FROM INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF MONTEREY FOR A DONATION OF $3,000.00 FROM THE
MAYOR'S YOUTH FUND FOR THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THEIR AFTER-SCHOOL SOCCER PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the request.
BACKGROUND
International School of Monterey (ISM) is requesting a donation of $3,000.00 from the Mayor's Youth Fund to help cover the costs of their after-school soccer program. Their soccer program is part of IPAL, a non-competitive league that welcomes both girls and boys. They ensure every student-athlete who wishes to participate has the opportunity.
Their goal is to prepare students for high school athletics while fostering teamwork, skill development, and sportsmanship. In recent years, their soccer program has faced challenges with maintaining safe, playable fields. Their grass fields are often damaged by ground squirrels, moles, and gophers, creating uneven surfaces that increase the risk of injury. They plan to use the funds to secure permits for practices and home games at City of Seaside parks, such as Cutino Park. These facilities provide safer, wellmaintained spaces for their student-athletes.
International School of Monterey's students practice responsible environmental stewardship daily. They turn off unused lights, minimize food waste, and use reusable water bottles to limit single-use plastics. They are also trained to properly sort waste into recycling (glass, metal, plastic, and clean paper), compost (food and yard waste), and landfill categories. These habits extend to their athletic events, where students and Packet Page 52
Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 2
families are encouraged to model these same practices.
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 International School of Monterey has requested a donation for their After-School Soccer Program.
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 $41,122.20. If the City Council approves this request, the balance will decrease to $38,122.20. 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.

1. Program Summary
Provide a short description of your proposed project (2–3 sentences):
The Seaside Youth Leadership Academy builds on past year's success by continuing to develop leadership, civic engagement, and solidarity skills. This year, we are expanding our program to include STEM and AI literacy, which will equip youth with the tools to address community inequities and navigate the digital age. By working in place-based settings like schools and libraries, our academy will ensure that youth and residents are co-designers of innovative solutions.
2. Statement of Need
Explain the problem(s) your project addresses, why it is important, and who will benefit.
Our program serves as a safe learning space where youth leaders from Seaside can share their experiences and collaborate on strengthening community ties through collective action. We also focus on community-driven solutions that expand access to essential services, support mental well-being, and build trust—especially for populations historically excluded from digital innovation.
A core part of our mission is to retain local talent, which is crucial for building a more equitable community. This approach helps reduce unemployment and keeps money circulating in the local economy. When residents can work where they live, it strengthens their sense of community, encourages greater civic participation, and makes them more likely to invest in local governance and community projects. Hence, we are seeking your support to continue and expand this vital program for our youth and young professionals residing in Seaside.
3. Goals & Objectives
List your project’s primary goals and measurable objectives.
Goal 1 Leadership Development:
• Recruit and train 10 to 12 core youth leaders and at least 50 academy participants through 8 sessions and more than a dozen extra-curricular activities during this grant cycle.
Goal 2 STEM / AI Literacy & Public Understanding:
• Introduce STEM and AI concepts relevant to youth and community life, such as civic applications and digital security. We will also host workshops on STEM and AI basics, Packet Page 63
2 ethics, and community innovation, training youth to discuss AI with their peers and trusted local leaders.
Goal 3 Community Building:
• Strengthen youth leadership and civic engagement in Seaside. We are creating a civic return by encouraging future professionals to reinvest in their community through strategic partnerships with local academic institutions like Monterey Peninsula College (MPC) and California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), and local companies such as DART and Joby, fostering a pipeline of local talent that can return to or remain in Seaside after graduation.

COMMUNITY SOCIAL SERVICES GRANT APPLICATION
1. Our organization provides perishable and non perishable food boxes to the Seaside community on a weekly basis at Seaside High School through our Giving Drive. The Giving Drive also provides deliveries of food boxes to households without the ability to get to the Giving Drive as well as walk up participants without transportation. Our organization also has partners including Target, Luckys, The Food Bank for Monterey and others that donate so we can share with our community, we need fuel and transportation upkeep to continue picking up. We also need to purchase items we do not have in stock like eye glasses, formula and other specific needs requested by community members that we do not have.
2. ALL IN Monterey County needs funding for maintenance, registration, insurance and fuel for three vehicles donated to our organization for the Giving Drive. Funding for the storage cost of three storage pods that hold Giving Drive supplies and materials including cones, dollies, lift jack, tables, pallet carts, boxes/cartons/bags.
Safety is also of the utmost importance to us at ALL IN Monterey County so we also need funding for the purchase of four new pop up canopies to keep surfaces dry when we still operate in poor weather, additional gear such as reflective vests, gloves, traffic flags, car magnet signs, directional signs. In order to operate our Giving Drive, funding for office supplies such as paper and printing supplies for sign up sheets, informational materials, pens and grease pens. Another safety item we would like to purchase with grant funding would be t-shirts and hats (protection from sun) for our amazing volunteers.
3. ALL IN Monterey County, Inc would like to continue providing safe access to food for community members of Seaside however, donations are scarce. We need funding in order to provide the overhead items that allow our organization to focus on our overarching goal of providing food every week to this community.
4. Our Giving Drive distributes food every week to 525 residents on average, 40 walk ups which are local residents with no transportation, 105 group deliveries which are designated delivery drivers that collect up to 10 food boxes and then deliver to assigned addresses for shut-ins, neighbors or group homes. Food for 120 families is sorted, divided and loaded for designated groups to take to their constituencies. 30 to CPY, 30 seniors via the Moose Lodge and 60 for MPUSD and military families. We average approximately 260 families that complete the drive through, receiving packed boxes each week. Giving Drive operates in rain or shine, high wind or freeze.
There are only two days in a calendar year the drive is closed: Christmas week and Food Bank inventory day. We pick-up 6 days a week from our community partners.
Packet Page 70
Our Kindness Closet welcomes 100 families per month where we share basic essentials including Hygiene, Cleaning and household items.
5. ALL IN Monterey, Inc’s mission is to provide immediate and direct continuous support to neighbors, volunteers and donors. ALL IN Monterey, Inc came to fruition in 2020 during Covid in order to provide food for the members of the hospitality industry who suddenly were without income. We quickly pivoted to disaster relief that same year when the Monterey area experience three simultaneous wildfires.
Using Seaside Highschool campus, we were able to provide toiletries, clothing and non perishable food to neighbors who had to evacuate quickly and did not have access to their home. This has been the platform for which everything we have done since grew from. We currently take care of our neighbors on a regular basis by providing food, clothing and toiletries on a weekly basis but we also have a relationship with County of Monterey Office of Emergency Management as well as the American Red Cross to work directly with any disaster relief needed. Key staff for the project listed above would be our President, Tanya Kosta, our Giving Drive lead staff, Carey Madill and Treasurer, Audrey Cray.

1. Program Summary
Provide a short description of your proposed project (2–3 sentences):
Casa de Noche Buena (CDNB) is a low-barrier emergency shelter located in Seaside, CA, dedicated to serving unaccompanied women and families with children experiencing homelessness. Operated by Community Human Services in partnership with the Gathering for Women, the shelter follows a Housing First approach, providing safe, supportive, and immediate access to shelter and housing stabilization services without prerequisites such as sobriety or income. CDNB helps clients overcome barriers to stable housing through personalized case management, housing navigation, rapid rehousing financial assistance, and other supportive services.
2. Statement of Need
Explain the problem(s) your project addresses, why it is important, and who will benefit.
During the 2024 Monterey County Homeless Point-In-Time Count conducted in January, a staggering 2,436 individuals were experiencing homelessness in Monterey County, a 19% increase from the last count. Of that number, 780 were women and 366 were individuals in families. Also of the total, 77% or 1,883 were unsheltered and sleeping in conditions deemed unfit for human habitation.
In Monterey County, due primarily to the high cost of living, 14,038 low-income renter households do not have access to affordable housing.
The Monterey Peninsula has one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, making many households one emergency away from losing their home -- it could be an unexpected job loss, a work-related or car accident or fall, an illness or unexpected medical expenses, death of a family member, or a sudden raise in rent, often when properties pass to new owners or family members.
Many people experiencing homelessness face multiple barriers to stable housing.
Seventy-nine percent of the PIT survey indicated that many individuals and families do not Packet Page 81
2 apply for assistance because they believe they are not eligible for such services, find it too difficult, or lack personal identifying documentation, highlighting the need for a suite of supportive services to connect homeless individuals and families with resources and services to increase economic and housing stability.
There is a high prevalence of traumatic stress in the lives of women and families with children experiencing homelessness. This trauma often includes domestic violence, sexual abuse and neglect, distressing or toxic family relationships, as well as the trauma associated with poverty and the loss of home, safety, and sense of security. Acute and cumulative trauma can have a significant impact on the way adults and children react, think, feel, behave, relate to others, and cope with future experiences, resulting in responses ranging from shutting down to confused thinking to “fight or flight” reactions.
Casa de Noche Buena (CDNB), located in Seaside, CA, was opened in partnership between Community Human Services and Gathering for Women, as the first shelter on the Monterey Peninsula to exclusively serve unaccompanied women and families with children.
Casa de Noche Buena addresses the barriers that women and families often face in securing homeless services and housing by offering a low barrier emergency shelter that follows a “Housing First” model. As such, sobriety, income, mandatory program participation, and other eligibility requirements are not imposed, so that homeless women and families with children can find a safe place to begin rebuilding their lives.
Staff at CDNB are trained to respect the rights and dignity of those served in several ways. They offer case management and housing navigation services in a person-centered, trauma-informed manner; encourage clients to participate in case management and work towards achieving their goals in a recovery-oriented, voluntary, and client-driven approach; connect clients to a more comprehensive support network for better social and community integration; engage in providing housing stabilization services which include rapid re-housing services and financial assistance, all with the goal of supporting clients in exiting homelessness into permanent housing.
We are requesting $120,000, primarily to support salaries and benefits for our shelter staff who directly provide housing stabilization services to our shelter clients. Specifically, our funding request will be used for:
• Salaries and Benefits for the program’s Program Officer, Case Manager/Housing Navigator and Support Counselors ($92,000)
• Shelter Operating Costs including utilities, maintenance, IT costs, communications costs, and insurance ($28,000)
On top of the $120,000 grant, CHS commits to providing a 10% match ($12,000) that will be used to pay for shelter staff salaries and benefits.
The requested funds will provide essential staffing and operational costs at CDNB, where support services for women and families experiencing homeless are not only critical, but also urgently needed to help individuals and families move from crisis to stability. CDNB meets a critical local need in Seaside by addressing the urgent and complex needs of women and families with children experiencing homelessness. From both humanitarian and systemic perspectives, when programs like CDNB are successful, community burden and public costs Packet Page 82
3 are reduced when law enforcement and social services experience decreased service calls regarding unhoused individuals, and local businesses experience a reduction in loitering and panhandling. Hospitals ultimately receive fewer emergency and indigent cases as individuals are stabilized and linked to appropriate medical/mental health services. Schools also benefit, as stabilizing homeless families and youth leads to increased average daily school attendance and the amount of funding the school district receives, and youth attain better educational outcomes. Ultimately, when chronic homelessness is interrupted and vulnerable individuals receive the long-term support and protection they need, they do better and the community does better.
3. Goals & Objectives
List your project’s primary goals and measurable objectives.
The primary objectives of CDNB are to provide immediate access to shelter and basic needs; stabilize clients and initiate the housing process; develop and implement individualized case management and housing navigation plans; and support clients in securing and maintaining permanent housing.

9 clients (approximately 80%) were residents of the City of Seaside. Given our consistent outreach and service levels, we anticipate serving a similar number of Seaside residents during the upcoming grant period, between 60 to 65 clients.
Of those served in FY24-25, 22 unaccompanied women, and 41 families with children (25 adults in families, and 30 children). There were 58 exits during that time, 27 placements into permanent housing of which 24 of those guests are individuals in family units; 12 in other positive housing destinations that included 2 in transitional housing; 8 living or staying with family; and 2 living or staying with friends. Additionally, 10 shelter guests received rapid re-housing financial assistance to secure permanent housing.
Approximately 15.6% of our shelter guests were under the age of 5, 23.4% were between 5-17 years of age; 10.4% were between the ages of 18-24; 48% were between the aged of 25-64; and 2.3% were age 65+. Also,47% identified as Hispanic/Latino; 17% as Caucasian; 6.5% as Black/African American; 2.6% as Asian; 1% as Native American; and 26% as Two or More Races/Ethnicities. Of our clients, 18% identified as male, and 82% were female.
In Seaside, 63% of renter households and 28% of owner households face a housing cost burden, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing. For Monterey County, 73% of extremely low-income households pay over half of their income on housing costs. Furthermore, housing instability is heightened by Seaside's poverty rate, which was
14.9% in 2025, higher than both the rate for California (12%) and Monterey County (12.6%). Most of the clients we serve fall below the federal poverty level and come from areas with high rates of housing instability and poverty. Given the continued need and complex dynamics between poverty and housing insecurity, we expect to serve the same demographic groups, and we are prepared to continue to address the complex needs of our clients from those communities. Our trauma-informed, housing-first approach ensures we can provide meaningful, client-centered support regardless of demographics or geography.
8. Sustainability / Partial Funding:
If the City awards less than your full requested amount, can your program or elements of your program still be implemented?
☐ Yes, in full
☒ Yes, in part (please describe what would change)
☐ No
We designed out initiative with scalability in mind, allowing us to prioritize core components that deliver the greatest impact. While a reduced award may limit the scope of reach of certain activities, we are committed to adaptation to ensure meaningful outcomes within the available budget. Our flexible approach ensures that the initiative remains effective and aligned with its intended goals, even under constrained funding.
Packet Page 89
10 We are deeply committed to the success of this initiative and are confident in our ability to deliver transformative results. With additional support, we can expand our reach and deepen our impact – yet regardless of the funding level, we will remain focused, strategic, and responsive to ensure that every dollar contributes to lasting measurable change.

1. Program Summary
Provide a short description of your proposed project (2–3 sentences):
Emmanuel Church of God in Christ is seeking funding to support the Emmanuel Community Food Pantry Expansion Project, a community-driven initiative to strengthen food security for Seaside residents. This project will expand the church’s long-standing pantry services by upgrading infrastructure, increasing distribution hours, and providing greater access to fresh, perishable foods.
Through strategic partnerships with the Monterey County Food Bank and local grocers, the program will ensure families, youth, and seniors have reliable access to nutritious food in a safe, welcoming environment.
2. Statement of Need
Explain the problem(s) your project addresses, why it is important, and who will benefit.
Many Seaside families continue to struggle with food insecurity, particularly access to fresh, healthy, and affordable options. Current pantry limitations—restricted hours, insufficient cold storage, and reliance on primarily non-perishable donations—create barriers for residents who need regular, reliable food support. This burden falls disproportionately on low-income households, seniors, and youth, many of whom already face economic and social hardships. The Emmanuel Community Food Pantry Expansion Project addresses these challenges by expanding capacity and availability, ensuring that vulnerable residents have equitable access to nutritious food, improved health outcomes, and stronger community support.
3. Goals & Objectives
List your project’s primary goals and measurable objectives.
Goals:
• Expand food pantry capacity to meet the rising needs of Seaside families. • Increase availability of fresh and perishable foods.
• Strengthen local partnerships to sustain long-term food security solutions.
Objectives (measurable):
• Complete infrastructure upgrades (refrigeration, shelving, and storage) by Spring 2026. • Expand pantry hours to serve an additional 30 households (approximately 120 individuals) monthly.
• Increase the distribution of fresh produce, dairy, and proteins by 20% by June 2026. • Formalize partnerships with the Monterey County Food Bank and at least two local grocers during the grant period.
Packet Page 107
4. Proposed Activities
Describe the services, events, or activities to be provided; include timeline and number served.
• Infrastructure Upgrade: Invest in refrigeration, shelving, and storage improvements to ensure safe handling and greater capacity for perishable foods.
• Expanded Hours: Increase pantry distribution days and hours, enabling families with varying schedules to access services more reliably.
• Fresh Food Procurement: Purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and proteins to supplement donated non-perishable items, ensuring residents receive balanced, nutritious options. • Community Partnerships: Establish and strengthen collaborations with the Monterey County Food Bank, as well as local grocers and community organizations, to secure reliable food sources and volunteer support.
Timeline: October 2025 – June 2026.
Projected Reach: Approximately 120 Seaside residents served, with expanded support to families, youth, and seniors.
5. Organizational Experience
Briefly describe your organization’s mission, community ties, and relevant experience.
List key staff for this project.

7. Proposed Reach / Beneficiaries
Estimate the number of Seaside residents your program will directly serve during the grant period. Please include information on the demographics of participants (e.g., age groups, income levels, neighborhoods, etc.), if available.
The Emmanuel Community Food Pantry Expansion Project will directly serve approximately 120 Seaside residents during the grant period.
• Families: 60 households supported through expanded hours and increased fresh food availability.
• Youth: Improved access to nutritious food, reducing risks of hunger-related challenges in school and social settings.
• Seniors: Greater access to fresh, balanced meals, supporting health and reducing isolation.
Beneficiaries will primarily include low-to-moderate income households across diverse neighborhoods in Seaside, with strong participation from African American, Latino, and immigrant communities.
8. Sustainability / Partial Funding:
If the City awards less than your full requested amount, can your program or elements of your program still be implemented?
☐ Yes, in full
x Yes, in part (please describe what would change)
☐ No
If awarded less than the full request, Emmanuel COGIC would maintain its existing pantry operations. However, without full funding, the church would not be able to expand fresh and perishable food distribution, extend operating hours, or hire a full-time Pantry Coordinator.
These expansions are essential to meeting the increasing needs of Seaside residents, and without them, many families and seniors will continue to face barriers to consistent, nutritious food access.

Program Title: Seaside Farmers’ Market CalFresh and Healthy Eating Incentives Organization Name: Everyone’s Harvest
Address: 31 Upper Ragsdale Dr. Ste 4 Monterey, CA 93940 Contact Person: Hester Parker, PhD
Phone: 831-384-6961
Email: [email protected]
Non-Profit Status: x 501(c)(3) ☐ Fiscal Sponsor ☐ Other:
1. Program Summary
Provide a short description of your proposed project (2–3 sentences):
Everyone’s Harvest is seeking $23,759 to support the use of CalFresh (SNAP) benefits by Seaside residents from low-income backgrounds to purchase and consume fresh produce by augmenting Market Match (MM) nutrition incentives and providing cooking demonstrations at the Seaside Certified Farmers’ Market (CFM). MM is a program that provides a $15 match for each $15 of CalFresh redeemed at the Seaside CFM, and the project will extend the match by $15 more per transaction to allow Seaside SNAP users to double the amount of produce they can purchase (i.e. $30 of CalFresh/SNAP benefits = $60 in produce). This project enhances public health in Seaside by incentivizing residents from low-income backgrounds to purchase and consume more healthy produce directly from the local farmers. Previous initiatives to double the match amount of MM by $15 have resulted in a 36% increase in the number of CalFresh transactions at the Seaside CFM. And 92% of participants in cooking demonstrations have expressed confidence in preparing healthy meals using fresh produce.
2. Statement of Need
Explain the problem(s) your project addresses, why it is important, and who will benefit.
Among Seaside’s 32,000 residents, 35.5% earn below 200% of the federal poverty level, and fewer than 60% of eligible Seaside families are enrolled in CalFresh. The City’s investment in Market Match (MM) can serve as an incentive for residents from low-income backgrounds to enroll in CalFresh to take advantage of doubling their fresh produce spending power from $30 to $60 at the Seaside CFM. Throughout Monterey County, diabetes has been identified as the highest priority community health challenge, 70.4% of residents are overweight, and 40.8% of the population experiences food insecurity, a higher rate than the U.S. average of 34.1%. Previous surveys of MM users at Everyone’s Harvest Packet Page 113
2 (EH) markets have demonstrated significant increases in their average daily consumption of vegetables by 0.71 cups and fruit by 0.55 cups, and greater fruit and vegetable consumption has been associated with lower A1c (a measure of average blood sugar) among participants living with diabetes who have participated in Everyone’s Harvest’s community food programs.
3. Goals & Objectives
List your project’s primary goals and measurable objectives.
The programs’ goals are to improve the food security and produce consumption of Seaside residents from low-income backgrounds by achieving the following objectives:
1. To increase the number of customers using CalFresh benefits to purchase produce at the Seaside farmers’ market by 25%.
2. To increase the number of returning customers using CalFresh benefits to purchase produce at farmers’ markets by 15%.
3. To increase the amount of produce received by low-income customers with CalFresh benefits from small-scale farmers at the farmers’ markets.
4. To increase the food security and daily consumption of fruits and vegetables by at least 0.5 cups in low-income households that qualify for CalFresh benefits.
5. To increase the confidence of Seaside residents in cooking healthy, culturally relevant meals with fresh produce.
4. Proposed Activities
Describe the services, events, or activities to be provided; include timeline and number served.
The Seaside CFM market and office staff will advertise the Market Match (MM) program at the Seaside CFM, online through social media and the website, as well as tabling at other community events with brochures for in-person distribution. The market staff will also process CalFresh and MM transactions at the CFM and record the redemption of CalFresh and MM tokens by farmers and reimburse the farmers.
The project’s success will be evaluated by counting new and returning customers purchasing CalFresh and MM and the total CalFresh/MM redemptions recorded daily at the farmers’ markets during the project period. All purchases are anonymously recorded by market day, uploaded and analyzed using a long-established Salesforce database. Redemptions of CalFresh/MM purchases from farmers are recorded and analyzed using EH’s QuickBooks account. The number of new and returning CalFresh/MM customers, as well as the total amount of MM redeemed at each market, will be compared to the prior year. Customers receiving MM will be surveyed pre- and post-season regarding the effect of increasing the MM amount on their food security and consumption of produce.
Five cooking demonstrations will be advertised and conducted by the Edible Education Coordinator in collaboration with chefs during the grant period.
Packet Page 114
3 Participants in cooking demonstrations will be surveyed after cooking demonstrations regarding their confidence in cooking healthy, culturally relevant meals with fresh produce and results of all surveys will be analyzed and reported to funders and other stakeholders.

Friends of Seaside Parks Association (FOSPA) Pollinator Gardens Seaside Community Social Services Grant Application – September 18, 2025
1. Program Summary – Short description of the proposed project The Friends of Seaside Parks Association (FOSPA) propose an Awareness Campaign to strength community presence, pride and spirit through the improvement of our local parks with pollinator gardens. The Awareness Campaign includes door to door contact with the neighbors of 9 City parks, creating and maintaining 9 informative bulletin boards, establishing an active social media presence, coordinating a Spring/Summer Park event and hosting collaborations with other local non-profit organizations.
2. Statement of Need – The issue being addressed and why it matters Parks provide multifaceted benefits to communities by fostering physical and mental health, building social connections and cultural unity, supporting economic development through increased property values and tourism, and offering crucial environmental services like air purification, water management, and habitat protection. They serve as accessible gathering spaces for diverse populations, promote childhood development, and improve a community's overall quality of life.
While FOSPA has made major improvements in our local parks over the last 11 years, some neighbors near the parks are not aware of activities we run. Our pollinator and community food gardens require a dedicated and ever-expanding group of volunteers. Introducing residents to FOSPA provides outlets for local youth, families, and community members to work in nature and connect with each other. Seaside parks lay within neighborhoods that are ethnically diverse and can supply underserved communities with local support and hubs for connection. Improving attendance and pollinator education directly provides native flora and fauna populations habitat, enhancing the natural environment of Seaside.
3. Goals & Objectives – Measurable outcomes the program aims to achieve
1. Increasing Seaside neighborhood participation in pre-existing Saturday workdays. a. Coordinating an Awareness Campaign: design and print 5,000 flyers for doorto-door delivery to 9 park neighbors, create and run a publicity effort to include radio appearances, newsprint articles and social media outlets. b. Creating and maintaining current and informative bulletin boards which will keep the public up to date about current and future events in the 9 FOSPA Parks - Beta, Capra, Durant, Farallones, Havana Soliz, Highland Otis, Lincoln Cunningham, Martin and Mescal Neil Parks.
2. Inviting other local non-profits to join FOSPA volunteers on a designated Saturday to feature that particular non-profit and exchange and share information on their causes and efforts. Possible agencies include Village Project, the Art and History Commission, Community Partnership for Youth, Palenke Arts, Monterey Peninsula Unified School District, International School of Monterey, Pacific Grove Natural History Museum, Sun Street Centers, Friends of Seaside Library, Youth Arts Collective and Plein Aire Painters.

Friends of Seaside Parks Association (FOSPA) Pollinator Gardens Seaside Community Social Services Grant Application – September 18, 2025
3. Coordinating an Outreach Event in the spring/summer of 2026 that highlights Seaside Parks with the goal of increasing participation in our workdays, encouraging neighbor to neighbor connections and informing the public about the importance of pollinator and community gardens.
4. Proposed Activities – Services, events, or activities; timeline; number served FOSPA wishes to involve as many Seaside residents as possible in the pollinator gardens so that they may become aware of why we need pollinator plants, what plants we can use in our gardens, when to plant, where the gardens can be successful and how to do it! On our Saturday workdays, we plant over the winter months, care for the plants in the spring, have activities showcasing the gardens in the summer and prepare for the winter rains in the fall. We anticipate involving all ages and hope to include up to 100 Seaside residents regularly.
Winter Planting Events: Saturdays 10-12 from January to March 2026. 30-70 participants.
Winter/Spring Door-to-Door Awareness Campaign: 7 days per week in March/April. 5,000 flyers to be passed out door-to-door to residents. Media campaigns to go live.
Spring/Summer/Fall: One Saturday 10-12 per month host a collaborative day with another non-profit organization. As an example, when collaborating with an artistic non-profit group such as Plein Aire Painters or Youth Arts Collective, we will provide the space and materials to create art with the park and include surrounding neighbors as participants. 70- 80 community participants. Spring/Summer: Public Outreach Event “Discover Seaside Parks” or something similar to celebrate the gardens in the Parks with an anticipated attendance of 300 – 500.
5. Organizational Experience – Mission, community ties, key staff qualifications FOSPA’s Mission: To foster a sense of community, unity and civic pride by volunteering together to improve city parks and neighborhoods.
FOSPA is a volunteer-led non-profit organization that supports the development and maintenance of parks and open green spaces in the City of Seaside. Volunteers create habitat for native plants, trees, pollinators, and wildlife, and foster a sense of community and civic pride in the cleanliness, safety, health and beauty of the city parks & neighborhoods. Every Saturday, for over 11 years, 20-50 residents, including the Mayor, City Council members and other City officials, have joined together to care for the pollinator gardens in 9 city parks. Among our regular participants are at least four experts in pollinator plants and gardens. The Board of FOSPA will oversee the proposed project. Members include: Chair: Dianne Nielson, Vice Chair: Rachel Christopherson, Secretary:

FOSPA will pay the Resource Conservation District of Monterey County to utilize the skills of a Grizzly Corps Fellow employed by them to complete the work outlined in this grant proposal. We feel that we have a jewel of an idea in FOSPA and to keep it going we need professional assistance for our outreach efforts to get more neighbors involved and keep our jewel shining.
6. Budget Summary – With required 10% match
See grant application.
7. Proposed Reach/Beneficiaries – Estimated number of Seaside residents The FOSPA project proposed will benefit the residents of the entire City of Seaside. All age groups, income levels and neighborhoods will reap the rewards of our project that encourages a sense of community and civic pride and improves the safety and beauty of our Parks and neighborhoods.
8. Sustainability/Partial Funding – Ability to implement if partial funds awarded Yes, in part.
FOSPA continues to have a very active volunteer base but always wishes for more community participation and involvement. This project can be organized to fit the budget as awarded by the City of Seaside.

The GVT Afternoon Community Support Program provides free, safe and structured after-school supervision and educational enrichment for students attending Martin Luther King School of the Arts in Seaside. We are requesting grant funds to expand specialized tutoring services in reading and literacy.
Martin Luther King School serves a student population with significant academic and social challenges. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of students qualify for free and reduced lunch, reflecting widespread economic need, and 84% of students are not reading at grade level according to state literacy assessment data. Many students lack access to consistent after-school supervision and targeted academic support. (See attached for more information) Goal 1: Increase reading proficiency for students identified as needing additional literacy support.
Objective: Provide at least 100 hours of specialized tutoring, aiming for 70% of participating students to demonstrate measurable growth on school-based literacy assessments. (See attached for more information) Specialized Tutoring: individual or group sessions focused on reading intervention, delivered by trained staff and educational professionals.
Community Building Activities: Monthly events, such as art lessons and field trips, to broaden student experiences and strengthen school-community connections. (See attached for more information) Please see attachment.

Supplemental Narrative
Greater Victory Temple Afternoon Community Support Program Seaside Community Social Services Grant Application
1. The Greater Victory Temple Afternoon Community Support Program is a free, safe, and structured after-school initiative that provides both supervision and high-quality educational enrichment for students attending Martin Luther King School of the Arts in Seaside, CA. The program addresses a critical community need by ensuring that students, the majority of which come from historically underserved backgrounds, have access to a supportive environment during after-school hours, reducing risks associated with unsupervised time while also supporting academic growth and personal development.
We are seeking $15,000 in City funds to expand our specialized tutoring services with a particular focus on reading and literacy proficiency. Strengthening literacy skills at an early age is vital for long-term academic success, and the requested funds will allow us to provide targeted, small-group and one-on-one instruction aligned to research-based practices. With this expansion, students struggling in foundational reading will receive individualized support designed to boost confidence, close skill gaps, and improve overall school performance.
2. Our program addresses this urgent need by providing a safe environment where students receive tutoring, academic reinforcement, and enrichment opportunities that directly support their academic success and social-emotional well-being.
3. Goal 2: Improve overall academic engagement and confidence.
Objective: At least 80% of participants will report increased confidence in their learning skills through surveys and teacher feedback.
Goal 3: Support working families by offering consistent, safe, and enriching after-school supervision.

Conclusion:
Greater Victory Temple has a strong track record of serving Seaside families with holistic programs that support both educational achievement and social well-being. Our experienced staff and volunteers are committed to creating a nurturing environment where students can thrive. This grant will directly enable us to expand tutoring hours and resources, while our in-kind contribution of $1,500 ensures sustainability and compliance with match requirements.

Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula (MOWMP) respectfully requests $50,000 from the Community Social Services Grant to support the provision of nutritious meals to Seaside residents through both home delivered and group dining services. This funding will sustain and expand our work to ensure that seniors, low-income individuals, veterans, and those who are homebound have reliable access to healthy meals and meaningful social connections.
Food insecurity and social isolation remain serious challenges for many Seaside residents, especially older adults and individuals living on limited incomes. According to our client data, 74% of those we serve are low-income, 58% are homebound, and 44% are over the age of 75. Many live alone, with 20% reporting no immediate family support. Without reliable access to healthy food, these residents are at greater risk of malnutrition, declining
Group dining services are equally critical, offering not only nutritious meals but also opportunities for social interaction, wellness activities, and connection to supportive services. By addressing both hunger and isolation, this program improves quality of life, promotes independence, and reduces the burden on healthcare and emergency systems.
The goals of our meal programs are to ensure that Seaside residents facing food insecurity have consistent access to healthy, freshly prepared meals. Additionally, we aim to reduce social isolation by providing safe, welcoming opportunities for connection.
Our objectives are to serve at least 5,000 meals during the grant year to approximately 350+ Seaside residents. We also want to provide daily group dining meals at the Oldemeyer Center and encourage increased participation. Finally, we will deliver meals directly to homebound individuals, ensuring they remain safely nourished in their homes.
Throughout the grant period, MOWMP will provide two types of services in Seaside:
1. Home Delivered Meals – Nutritious meals delivered year-round by staff and volunteers to homebound seniors and adults with disabilities. These visits also provide wellness checks and connections to other resources.
Packet Page 151
2. Group Dining at the Oldemeyer Center – Freshly prepared meals served in a welcoming, communal setting that offers wellness and social activities to build connection and reduce isolation.
Together, these services will reach approximately 350+ Seaside residents and provide 5,000+ meals in the coming year.
For over 53 years, Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula has provided meals and supportive services to older adults, disabled individuals, and veterans across the region.
In 2024 alone, MOWMP prepared more than 619,000 meals, delivered over 155,000 meals to homes, and engaged more than 600 volunteers. Last year in Seaside, we served 238 Home Delivered Meal clients and 170 Group Dining clients almost 125,000 meals.
We are deeply connected to the Seaside community, with a long-standing partnership with the Oldemeyer Center. In addition, we are beginning to build a new commercial kitchen in Seaside, which will significantly expand our production capacity and further solidify our roots in the city.
Key staff for this project include our President/CEO, Operations Director, Executive Chef, Recruitment and Outreach Manger, Home Delivered Meals Manager, and our Community Dining Services Coordinator, supported by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who bring decades of experience in nutrition, food service, and community engagement.
The total project budget is $200,000, with $50,000 requested from the City of Seaside.
Matching support includes $100,000 in other funds and $50,000 of in-kind contributions, exceeding the 10% match requirement. Grant funds will directly support food, staffing, and program delivery costs for both home-delivered and group dining services in Seaside.
During the grant period, MOWMP will directly serve approximately at least 350 Seaside residents, providing over 5,000 meals. Of these participants, based on current statistics, 74% are low-income, 44% are over the age of 75, and 58% are homebound. Clients represent diverse neighborhoods across Seaside, and 68% are women, many of whom live alone and face heightened risk of malnutrition and isolation.
MOWMP is committed to sustaining these vital services regardless of fluctuations in funding. Should less than the requested amount be awarded, we would still provide meals in Seaside but would need to supplement the program through unknown sources.

3 Monterey Peninsula College – Supplemental Narrative
2. Statement of Need
Explain the problem(s) your project addresses, why it is important, and who will benefit.
Monterey County is home to individuals whose lives and work have shaped the cultural, economic, educational, political, and civic fabric of the region. Many of these community elders hold remarkable stories that reflect not only the history of the area but also the resilience, diversity, and contributions that continue to define Monterey County today. Without intentional efforts to document and preserve these narratives, an invaluable part of the community’s living history risks being lost to future generations.
The proposed MPC Oral History Project responds to this urgent need by creating a structured archive that captures and shares the voices of those who have influenced local life in meaningful ways. With support from this grant, MPC will launch a pilot program focusing on five Seaside residents whose experiences highlight the city’s rich and diverse history. Their personal stories, told in their own words, will serve as living histories that humanize the past and how it has shaped present society. The resulting interviews will benefit MPC students by infusing curriculum with first-hand perspectives to help them understand how their community’s historical roots influenced current disparities and advancements.
The City of Seaside pilot will not only preserve these valuable legacies, but will also serve as a scalable model to expand and include individuals from across Monterey County as additional funding becomes available.
3. Goals & Objectives
List your project’s primary goals and measurable objectives.
Goal 1: Establish an Oral History Archive that documents and preserves the experiences of Monterey Peninsula community members
- Objective 1.1: Design and implement a pilot program that serves as a model for future oral history projects
- Objective 1.2: Develop processes for research, interviewing, recording, and archiving oral histories to ensure quality and accessibility Goal 2: Produce and share the first series of oral history video presentations featuring Seaside residents
Packet Page 155
4 - Objective 2.1: Record and produce five oral history video lessons/presentations focused on notable current or former residents of Seaside - Objective 2.2: Produce completed video lessons/presentations publicly available for students, educators, and community members to view and learn from
4. Proposed Activities
Describe the services, events, or activities to be provided; include timeline & number served.
MPC faculty will research, plan, and conduct interviews with five notable residents of Seaside, capturing their personal stories, professional achievements, and community contributions. Each interview will be recorded and transformed into a series of concise video presentations, integrated with lesson content that highlights the individual’s impact on our region’s economy, government, politics, education, culture, and the greater community. The completed videos and accompanying lessons will be hosted by the College and made publicly accessible online, providing students, educators, and community members with valuable resources to learn from and preserve the region’s living history.
Timeline: Project preparation activities and the selection of Seaside community participants will commence in late 2025 with interviews to be conducted during MPC’s Spring 2026 semester. Filming, editing and production will be ongoing through the end of the College’s current fiscal year (June 30, 2026).
Faculty will identify and recommend notable local residents, and propose lessons in their respective disciplines that align with the residents’ backgrounds and contributions.
Faculty recommend the selected community members for interviews, conduct the necessary research, develop interview questions, and plan the discussions. Faculty will conduct the interviews with the residents. Student assistants record and edit interviews and produce a full-length interview video and 2–3 shorter video segments.
Videos are finalized, captioned, and posted on MPC’s YouTube channel, making them accessible to students and the broader community.
Faculty design a final lesson or presentation that incorporates the video segments; the lesson is shared online under a Creative Commons license. Library staff create online research and content management tools (LibGuides), and archive videos to ensure integrity and accessibility for future researchers, students, and the public.
A community premiere event is held to showcase the stories and recognize project participants, faculty and students.

5 7. Proposed Reach / Beneficiaries
Estimate the number of Seaside residents your program will directly serve during the grant period.
Please include information on the demographics of participants (e.g., age groups, income levels, neighborhoods, etc.), if available.
The oral history videos will be integrated into a wide range of MPC courses, including those in the Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities, enriching instruction across multiple disciplines. Residents chosen to participate in the project will reflect Seaside’s diverse population and share multicultural perspectives on the city’s storied history.
Thousands of MPC students, along with high school students at our K–12 dual enrollment partner sites such as Seaside High School, will benefit from direct exposure to the lived experiences and contributions of these local community members. This includes 1197 MPC students (in the most recently completed semester) who reside in Seaside.
Nearly 90% of MPC’s 7500+ students receive financial assistance in the form of tuition waivers, loans, or scholarships. More than half of MPC students (54%) are between the ages of 16-24 with 36% aged 25-49. MPC’s diverse student population comprises the following ethnicities: Hispanic/Latino (47%), White (31%), Two or more races (6%), Asian (4%), Black (3%), Filipino (2%), American Indian/Alaska Native (1%), Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (1%) and 5% Unknown.
In addition, MPC Photography/Videography students will benefit as oral history project interns with the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge to a realworld experience in their field of study. Beyond the classroom, the videos and presentations will be publicly accessible online, allowing the broader Monterey County community to engage with and learn from these stories. MPC faculty and students will research, conduct, and archive interviews to ensure these local narratives are preserved and accessible for future generations.

Palenke Arts provides a space that does not exist elsewhere in Seaside: a dedicated multicultural arts center offering free and low cost arts-based classes and events to many families who would not traditionally be able to afford them. We aim to address the issue of inequity in the arts by imbuing our programs with high-interest, culturally-relevant offerings that are accessible for everyone. We strive to uplift youth voices, inspire creativity and transform our community into a place where everyone feels seen, valued and welcomed through the healing power of the arts. Our core programming consists of arts education courses for youth delivered at our center located in the Martin Luther King School of the Arts campus in Seaside and at the new Teen Arts Center located at 530 Elm Ave in Seaside.
3. Goals & Objectives
List your project’s primary goals and measurable objectives.
Our goal is to provide all of our students with a strong sense of purpose, cultural rootedness, and creative voice that will eventually lead to improved academic achievement, economic prosperity, mental health, cultural rootedness, and a sense of belonging in their community.
In terms of quality indicators, we will once again survey our parents and students in the following areas: quality of overall experience, assessment of artistic growth, cultural Packet Page 158
value of our classes, quality of instruction, administrative support and welcoming atmosphere. Our aim is to score a 4 or 5 in all of these areas for 90% of those surveyed.
Our students’ final performance of the season will be the 10th Annual Palenke Arts Festival.
4. Proposed Activities
Describe the services, events, or activities to be provided; include timeline and number served.
The specific weekly classes that we will be offering to a total of 280+ unduplicated students in 2025-26 are: visual arts (2 sections - K-5 and Teens), ballet folklórico (5 sections, beginning-advanced plus adults), hip hop dance, four jazz classes (middle-school combo, teen combo, jazz for adults, jazz saxophone), AfroCaribbean drumming, bilingual chorus, traditional Mexican band ensemble, piano, guitar, violin, clarinet, trumpet, drums, photoshop, audio, and video production (for teens).
We are also planning on continuing hosting World music concerts, community events and performances by our student groups in the city of Seaside (recitals, performances in the community, such as Oaxaca by the Sea, Día de los Muertos celebration, Winter Wonderland, Sustainable Seaside’s Earth Day) and our 10th Annual Palenke Arts Festival. This yearly festival is a family celebration of community where Palenke Arts student groups perform alongside professional ensembles. What sets us apart as an organization is the fact that we are more than an arts center: we are a community transformation center. Community members come together, often at no cost, to celebrate culture, dance, share their talents, and be seen as humans with dignity, restoring a part of their humanity that has often been ignored. We are constantly monitoring, checking and listening to our families so we can best tailor our offerings to their needs.
In our end-of-year surveys our families remind us of the importance of our work, which goes beyond learning about an art discipline into developing stronger self-esteem, cultural rootedness, and community connection. Thus, a parent mentioned "Palenke means community. In today's culture, I feel like we all can retreat into their own digital bubble, disassociated from people and the arts, and Palenke brings community and the arts into our lives, with others to share it with. I feel like this connection is what our society needs more than ever.."
Another parent added "Palenke Arts is great. It’s given my children a diverse experience with music in various forms. It has also given them a concrete connection to their culture and heritage. With the work Palenke Arts does, my entire family has had an opportunity to better connect to our community through various events." Packet Page 159
5. Organizational Experience
Briefly describe your organization’s mission, community ties, and relevant experience.
List key staff for this project.
Palenke Arts is a multicultural arts organization whose mission is to educate, inspire and transform the community of Seaside through the arts. Our organization is a leader in the delivery of high-quality and culturally rooted multicultural arts programs in the city of Seaside that has been recognized regionally and received national, state, county and local support.
Palenke Arts was founded in 2015 by a committed group of artists, educators and community members who recognized the urgent need for multicultural arts and music programs and events in the city of Seaside, especially for the youth, and envisioned the creation of a multicultural arts center. On December 24, 2018, Palenke Arts filed articles of incorporation with the State of California, adopted bylaws, elected a founding Board of Directors and on January 31, 2020 obtained its letter of determination from the IRS as a 501c3 tax exempt nonprofit corporation. We are the recipients of the 2019 Nonprofit of the Year award in arts and culture from the Nonprofit Alliance of Monterey County and our executive director Juan L. Sánchez is the recipient of the 2023 Champion of the Arts Award from the Arts Council of Monterey County.

7. Proposed Reach / Beneficiaries
Estimate the number of Seaside residents your program will directly serve during the grant period. Please include information on the demographics of participants (e.g., age groups, income levels, neighborhoods, etc.), if available.
Our programs will benefit 280+ students. 95% of our students (around 270 of them) are youth of color from immigrant and working-class families in Seaside who rely on us for access to affordable, culturally-rooted visual arts, music and dance programming and teachers. The majority of our students (85%) are elementary and middle school students that reside in or attend Seaside schools. Our model of high-quality, affordable and culturally-rooted multi-disciplinary programming is one of the few of its kind in the Monterey Peninsula.
Additionally, we will serve around 5,000 audience members (mostly from Seaside) who will attend our 30+ events throughout the year in partnership with the city of Seaside, MPUSD, Monterey Peninsula College, CSUMB, the Village Project and Building Healthy Communities.

8. Sustainability / Partial Funding:
If the City awards less than your full requested amount, can your program or elements of your program still be implemented?
☐ Yes, in full
X Yes, in part (please describe what would change)
☐ No
The City of Seaside’s funding represents approximately 10% of our organizational funds.
Thus, if we get less than the requested amount, we would have to adjust our services to city residents accordingly. For instance, we might have to cut some of the classes that we currently offer like ballet folklórico or piano, that are very impacted, or reduce the new teen offerings at our Teen Arts Center such as the off-site offerings at Continuation High School or Seaside High School. Furthermore, have we just added our second administrative position: the Director of Programs and Operations that needs to be funded and will allow us to start planning and executing our capital project: the new Multicultural Arts Center to be built in the Seaside High Campus in the next 5 years.

The two transitional housing programs (listed above) provide housing for 14 families in need. These families are homeless or at extreme-risk of becoming homeless. They are give two years of housing and intensive case management toward long term stability.
In the current housing crisis, working families tend to fall through service cracks. Even with interventions like emergency housing or rent assistance, they find they do not have the saving or credit need to remain housed in the long-term. This program works toward long term stability.
The primary goal is simple - get families into long-term, secure housing. This is measured by intensivee case management which highlights self-directed goals, using the HUD self-sufficiency matrix (attached). Families make goals and measure succes by these goals.
The cost of participation in the program for one family over a twelve month period, is approximately $24,000. This covers "occupancy" costs like utilities and property upkeep as well as staffing costs.
