SUBJECT: APPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES COOPERATIVE

AGREEMENT (ESCA) REPORT COVERING ACTIVITIES FROM
JANUARY THROUGH MARCH 2026

RECOMMENDATION
Approve report.

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) defining FORA’s contractual conditions to complete the Army remediation obligations for Packet Page 24

Item No. 8.G. Page 2 of 4
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 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., AHTNA, Weston Solutions, Inc. and Westcliffe Engineers, Inc. will assist with providing LTO support services.

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. Seaside, as successor to the Fort Ord Reuse Authority, will receive these two parcels, then transfer these to Monterey Salinas Transit. This transfer will also include a Covenant to Restrict the Use of Property for both of these parcels. Transfer is currently projected for July 2026.

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 January 28, 2026.

Packet Page 25

Item No. 8.G. Page 3 of 4
ESCA will provide the required After-Action Reports for the (1) Monterey One Water Pipeline Phase 4 and the (2) Seaside stormwater infiltration repair projects upon completion. These After-Action reports are in progress.

ESCA also assisted with documentation for two small (less than 10 cubic yards in locations with a low probability to encounter munitions) projects: the City of Seaside (bench installation off Eucalyptus Road) and California State University Monterey Bay Intergarrison gas pipeline installation project.

ESCA continued work with Pacific Gas and Electric to develop a programmatic plan for their easement on Fort Ord land which has been transferred outside the ownership of the federal government.

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 complements 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.

ESCA provided assistance and documentation in the response to three incidents of potential encounters with munitions and explosives of concern. ESCA assisted with (1) a cyclist report of a rusty muffler in Seaside’s Parker Flats open space, (2) a possible pipe bomb off Eucalyptus Road, and (3) a dreger tooth at the Pacific Gas and Electric substation off Gigling Road. These were encounters of suspect munitions items, which, after close evaluation, were determined not to be a munitions item. Additionally, ESCA worked with Monterey County Dispatch to correct property ownership and jurisdiction information for the Pacific Gas and Electric substation on Gigling Road.

The ESCA team continues to conduct weekly patrols of Seaside’s ESCA properties and biweekly patrols of other ESCA properties. ESCA patrols also included debris removal and identification of erosion in the borderlands fuel break roads.

ESCA provided program updates at the Army’s BRAC Cleanup Team meetings dedicated to munitions on February 20. ESCA also participated in the Army’s online Community Involvement Workshop (February 21), Technical Review Committee (February 24), and the Army’s Annual Munitions Site Security meeting (February 24). ESCA provided a Land Use Control presentation to California State University Monterey Bay on March 23.

NEXT QUARTER GOALS
During the next quarter, the ESCA Program will be focusing on the following tasks.

Packet Page 26

Item No. 8.G. Page 4 of 4
• ESCA will continue coordination supporting completion of property transfers. • ESCA will also continue coordination with jurisdictions and extensive public outreach on the Munitions Recognition and Safety Training which is available at FortOrdSafety.com.

DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVE TRAFFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE (TAC)
RECOMMENDATION TO INSTALL 2-HOUR PARKING ALONG

TERRACE AVE

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Traffic Advisory Committee's recommendation.

BACKGROUND
The Traffic Advisory Committee (TAC) reviewed and provided a recommendation regarding a 2-hour parking application at the March 17, 2026 regular meeting. A summary of the recommendation which was approved is presented below.

Staff received the TAC Request Application, dated November 20th, 2025, from a business owner requesting the installation of 2 Hour parking Signs and Parking T’s along Terrace St. This request went to the TAC meeting on March 17th.

Hotworx is one of two businesses on a multiple-unit dwelling parcel. The other business is the Seagrove Apartments. Terrace St is a two-way street, with a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph). Terrace St runs North-South, and has parallel parking on both sides of the street. The street is approximately 40 feet wide, from face of curb to face of curb. Sidewalks measuring approximately 5 feet wide are present on this block. The owners of Hotworx are requesting 12 2-hour parking spots and parking T's outside their business. This 24/7 Infrared fitness studio is located within the new Ascent Seagrove Apartments, and has limited parking available for the gym members. There will be six designated spots. The requested parking areas would be located along both sides of Packet Page 28

Item No. 8.H. Page 2 of 3
Terrace Ave, from Broadway to Olympia. 2-hour parking was selected due to the business being open 24 hours a day, and accommodating frequent short-duration visits (up to 90 minutes). Proposed side effects of the new parking layout would be reducing long-term vehicle congestion, supporting local activities, and enhancing accessibility.

There are three businesses along the stretch of Terrace St from Broadway to Olympia Ave. The businesses include the Post Office, the Ascent Seagrove Apartments, and Hotworx. The curb is painted red along 77 feet of the curb on the eastern side and 62 feet along the western side of the road. Driveway approaches also make up 71.5 and 26 feet on the east and west sides respectively. That leaves 110 feet of unpainted curb on the east side and 170 feet of unpainted curb on the west side.

Per standard specs, parking spots are to be between 18’ and 22’. The spots were planned to be 22’ long except in the 2 stall spots on the northeast side, where they were 20’. Terrace St is within the business district. The SMC 10.04.050 & 10.32.020 states: "When authorized signs are in place giving notice thereof, no person shall stop, stand, or park any vehicle within a business district outside the central traffic district between the hours of eight a.m. and six p.m. of any day except Sundays and holidays for a period of time longer than two hours. " This allows the City to time restrict parking in this area.

Due to the Post Office on the opposite side of the road, and the potential parking needs of the Seagrove and Olympia Ave residents, staff believes the west side of Terrace St should remain undesignated.

The TAC voted to approve the staff recommendation, which was an alternate plan that had (5) 2-hour parking stalls along the eastern side of Terrace St.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact outside the approved FY25/26 budget.

RECOMMENDATION TO INSTALL PERPENDICULAR PARKING IN

BROADWAY ALLEY

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Traffic Advisory Committee's recommendation.

BACKGROUND
The Traffic Advisory Committee (TAC) reviewed and provided a recommendation regarding a parking restriping plan application at the March 18, 2026 regular meeting. A summary of the recommendation which was approved is presented below.

On the recommendation of the economic development department, staff looked into installing 40 perpendicular parking stalls that will be 18 feet by 9 feet per the city codes, and one motorcycle parking stall at 4 feet by 9 feet, to replace the angled parking in the alley north of Broadway, between Alhambra and Calaveras Street. This request went to the TAC meeting on March 17th.

The alley is owned by the City of Seaside, and has no posted speed. The alley is 41.5 feet wide and 418 feet long.

Currently, there are 33 angled parking spots, with 7 being used by the Goodwill Drop off containers. Allowing only 26 to be used.

The Public Works staff has found that the majority of the traffic in the Alley is entering from Alhambra, or from the south side from the goodwill parking lot, and the current Packet Page 38

Item No. 8.I. Page 2 of 2
parking configuration doesn’t allow traffic to access the parking stalls easily. The perpendicular parking would allow easier access from either direction as well as adding additional spots. The perpendicular parking may also deter larger commercial and residential vehicles from parking in the long term or from parking across the spots.

The parking spots would go from 26 usable spots to 40 usable spots, plus a spot for motorcycle parking. The drive area would be 23 and a half feet wide, allowing for about 11 foot drive aisles in either direction.

The Economic Development Director was in contact with Goodwill in regard to relocating the goodwill containers.

Staff recommends accepting the reconfiguring of the parking spaces to allow perpendicular parking in the west Broadway alley.

TAC recommended approval of the reconfiguring of the parking spaces to allow perpendicular parking in the west Broadway alley.

RECOMMENDATION OF INSTALLATION OF PERMANENT

STREET SWEEPING/ NO PARKING SIGNS ON SAN PABLO AND

LA SALLE

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Traffic Advisory Committee's recommendation.

Public Works is recommending Temporary Street Sweeping/ No Parking signs along San Pablo and La Salle. This will allow the street sweeper to reach more of the curb on heavily parked roadways, allowing the City to better meet the trash compliance requirements of the City's municipal storm drain permit, issued by the State Water Resources Control Board, under Order 13383. Staff recommend a one-month trial, as that will allow two cycles of street sweeping activities. Public works plan to set up the signs in April, 1 week before the sweeping operations, to provide adequate notice.

On San Pablo Ave there are many types of business including restaurants, retail, and landscaping. There are also multi and single-family lots located along this street. On La Salle, there are also many types of business, such as restaurants, a gas station, multi and single-family parcels, and the Monterey Adult School. Like San Pablo, there is little Packet Page 41

Item No. 8.J. Page 2 of 2
curb access due to cars parking on the street. The maintenance team estimates that the sweeper only gets about 40% curb access currently around the downtown area. We believe that placing signs like these will increase our trash compliance by allowing more access to a generally more littered area. Street sweeping operations take place on these streets on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, so we would limit access on those days. We would limit the no parking to the hours of 9am – 11am. We presume there will be less parking at these times due to it being during working hours.

The cost to acquire and install each of the signs would be low, as the city already owns these barricades, and we will be printing and laminating a paper sign for either side. We estimate needing 18 signs, but the city has plenty more if needed.

Staff recommends installing Temporary No Parking/ Street Sweeping Signs along San Pablo Ave and La Salle Ave.

TAC recommended the installation of permanent street sweeping signs on Lasalle and San Pablo, from Fremont to Noche Buena. The City Code allows the restriction of parking along these roads, so permanent signs should be installed to allow for better enforcement. The days will also be staggered to allow easier movement of parked vehicles. The north side of the roads will be swept on the first and third Thursday, and the south side will be swept on the first and third Friday of each month. TAC also recommended issuing warnings the first month, that way residents can get used to the schedule before being issued fees.

DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PLANS AND

AGREEMENT TO JMS CEMENT CONTRACTORS INC. FOR AN
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $250,000.00 AND TOTAL PROJECT

CONSTRUCTION COST INCLUDING CONTINGENCY OF
$287,250.00

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the plans and specifications.

BACKGROUND
The 2026 Citywide CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Project (Project) will remove non-compliant curb returns and replace them with accessible curb ramps per Caltrans A88A standard details at selected intersections within its existing footprint.

Due to the tight timeframe to expend the CDBG Funds, staff completed the design, held a mandatory pre-bid meeting in which several contractors attended, and the Project was released for construction bids on March 9, 2026. Bids were received and opened on March 30, from the following contractors:

Contractor Bid

JMS CEMENT CONTRACTORS
INC.
$432,282.50
FBD Vangaurd Construction $539,461.00
Packet Page 47

Item No. 8.K. Page 2 of 3
Inc.

Staff reviewed and evaluated the submitted bids, and it was determined that JMS CEMENT CONTRACTORS INC. is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with a total bid amount of $432,282.50 and that they have the qualifications and experience levels satisfactory to perform all work within the project scope.

Due to the budget constraints for this Project and associated construction costs, it is recommended to approve a total construction agreement with JMS CEMENT CONTRACTORS INC. for an amount not to exceed $287,250.00. Based upon this amount, it is estimated a total of 20 curb ramps can be constructed.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
This categorically excluded activity/project converts to Exempt, per 58.34(a)(12) because there are no circumstances which require compliance with any of the federal laws and authorities cited at §58.5. Funds may be committed and drawn down after certification of this part for this (now) EXEMPT project.

Pursuant to preliminary review of the activities associated with this Council action in accordance with Section 15061 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, this project is Categorically Exempt (Class 1, Section 15301 Existing Facilities). The project includes removing non-compliant curb returns and replacing them with accessible curb ramps, which would not result in an expansion of use.

FISCAL IMPACT
The 2026 Citywide CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Project was added to the Capital Improvement Program with a $250,000.00 budget funded through a Community Development Block Grant by City Council on February 6, 2025. There are sufficient funds in the Project account 212-8960-9578 to execute the construction agreement including construction contingency in the amount of $287,250.00.

CITY OF SEASIDE

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 9.A.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Aaron Hahn, Junior Engineer
DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 10.30.010 OF THE

SEASIDE MUNICIPAL CODE TO AUTHORIZE THE

DESIGNATION, MODIFICATION, AND REMOVAL OF ONE-WAY

STREETS BY RESOLUTION

RECOMMENDATION
Open the Public Hearing and introduce the proposed Ordinance for adoption at the Council's next meeting.

BACKGROUND
Seaside Municipal Code Section 10.30.010 of the Seaside Municipal Code currently establishes designated one-way streets within the City and specifies the direction of traffic flow on those streets. Under the existing code framework, any modification to these designations requires the adoption of a formal ordinance by the City Council. This process takes 7–8 weeks and limits the City’s ability to respond efficiently to changing traffic conditions, safety concerns, and operational needs.

The proposed ordinance amends Seaside Municipal Code Section 10.30.010 to allow the City Council to designate, modify, or remove one-way street restrictions by resolution.

This change introduces greater administrative flexibility while maintaining appropriate legislative oversight. Key elements of the amendment include:
• Authorization for the City Council to act by resolution rather than ordinance for one-way street changes
• Applicability to the designation of new one-way streets, modification of existing traffic flow directions, and removal of one-way restrictions Packet Page 60

Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 2
• Retention of existing one-way street designations currently codified • Continued requirement that appropriate signage be installed or removed for any change to become effective
The proposed amendment does not eliminate the existing list of designated one-way streets but instead supplements it by providing an additional mechanism for future changes.

This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
This item has no fiscal impact.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEASIDE AMENDING SECTION 10.30.010 OF THE SEASIDE MUNICIPAL CODE TO AUTHORIZE THE

DESIGNATION, MODIFICATION, AND REMOVAL OF ONE-WAY STREETS BY

RESOLUTION
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEASIDE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

The purpose of this Ordinance is to amend the Seaside Municipal Code to provide administrative efficiency and flexibility in responding to traffic conditions, public safety need and circulation patterns by allowing modifications to one-way streets be made by resolution, instead of ordinance. One-way streets will still require appropriate signage to ensure public notice and enforceability.

Text amendments and additions contained in this Ordinance are shown in underline while text amendment deletions are shown in strikeout.

SECTION 2. TEXT AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 10.30 One- Way Streets AS FOLLOWS:

10.30.010 Designated.

The following named streets are hereby designated as one-way streets and vehicular traffic flow thereon shall proceed only in the direction indicated. Appropriate signs shall be posted on these streets designating traffic flow direction.

The City Council may, by resolution, designate, modify, or remove any of the one-way street restrictions on any street or portion thereof. Any such action shall become effective upon the installation or removal of appropriate signage.

A. The following streets shall operate one way in the northbound direction:
[NO CHANGE TO LIST]
B. The following streets shall operate one way in the southbound direction:
[NO CHANGE TO LIST]
C. The following streets shall operate one way in the eastbound direction:
[NO CHANGE TO LIST]
D. The following streets shall operate one way in the westbound direction:
[NO CHANGE TO LIST]
Packet Page 62
SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City Council finds that this ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Alternatively, the ordinance is exempt from CEQA review under the “common sense exemption” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 4. SEVERABILITY. If any provision, clause, sentence, or section of this Ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions or applications, and to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are declared to be severable.

SECTION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption and shall be published or posted in accordance with applicable provisions of the Seaside Municipal Code and the laws of the State of California.

INTRODUCED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Seaside on the ___________ day of ____________ 2026; and

Item No.: 10.A.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Assistant City Manager
Kee Hyon Higgins, Recreation Superintendent
DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVE A MAYOR'S YOUTH FUND CONTRIBUTION REQUEST OF $3,000.00 FROM SOLID NATION CO TO ASSIST WITH THE

COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EQUIPMENT, UNIFORMS,

TRANSPORTATION, AND ESSENTIAL PROGRAM SUPPLIES FOR

THEIR YOUTH & COMMUNITY PROGRAM

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the request.

BACKGROUND
Solid Nation Co is requesting a $3,000.00 donation from the Mayor’s Youth Fund to help cover the costs associated with equipment, uniforms, transportation, and essential program supplies for their Youth Sports & Community Program. Their program provides structured athletic activities including basketball, flag football, baseball, volleyball, and track for youth ages 8–17 in Seaside. The program focuses on discipline, teamwork, leadership development, and provides a safe, positive environment for youth engagement. In addition to sports, the program incorporates mentorship, community service opportunities, and access to food support through their outreach initiatives. The program provides direct municipal benefit by offering safe, structured activities that promote positive behavior while increasing community engagement. It supports local families by providing free or low-cost programming, promotes public health through physical activity, and strengthens community connections.

Packet Page 66

Item No. 10.A. Page 2 of 3
Solid Nation Co integrates environmental responsibility into all programming by promoting waste reduction and community clean-up efforts at parks and activity locations. Their youth participants are encouraged to recycle, properly dispose of waste, and participate in neighborhood clean-up days. The program also promotes reusable materials, reduces single-use plastics during events, and teaches youth the importance of maintaining clean and safe community spaces.

Solid Nation Co actively conducts community fundraising efforts, including BBQ fundraisers, fish fry events, and donation-based pop-ups throughout Seaside. Additional support is being pursued through local business sponsorships, grants, and community partnerships. These funding sources help supplement program costs. However, additional support is needed to fully sustain and expand youth programming.

Solid Nation Co's estimated program budget:
• Sports Equipment - $2,000.00
• Food Program Supplies - $1,500.00
• Transportation - $800.00
• Volunteer/Instructor Support - $1,200.00
Based on the information in the application, the request meets the following criteria for the Mayor's Youth Fund Policy:
• Solid Nation Co is a non-profit organization based in Seaside. • They serve 90% of Seaside youth ages 8–17.
• Their program contributes to environmental sustainability and climate resilience. • Their program has a municipal community benefit.

This is the first time that Solid Nation Co has requested a donation.

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 $17,122.20. If the City Council approves this request, the balance will decrease to $14,122.20. This is for fiscal year 2025/26.

In the event that all of 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.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 10.B.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Matthew Doza, Sergeant
Justin Pascone, Commander
DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: ANNUAL REPORT AB 481 REGARDING THE POLICE

DEPARTMENTS ACQUISITION AND USE OF MILITARY

EQUIPMENT

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the use of current equipment defined in AB-481.

BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2021, California Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481) was signed into law and established requirements related to the funding, acquisition, and use of certain law enforcement equipment defined by statute as military equipment. AB 481 requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval from its governing body through adoption of a Military Equipment Use Policy prior to the funding, acquisition, or use of such equipment.

The governing body for the City of Seaside is the City Council. On April 21, 2022, the City Council adopted the required ordinance and Military Equipment Use Policy for the Seaside Police Department. AB 481 also requires the governing body to conduct an annual review of the military equipment use policy and annual report and to determine whether to renew the authorization for the use of the equipment, disapprove the renewal, or direct amendments to the policy, as appropriate.

This item is presented to satisfy that annual review requirement. The Police Department’s presentation and supporting materials summarize the equipment currently Packet Page 89

Item No. 10.B. Page 2 of 2
covered by the policy and provide the information necessary for the City Council’s annual review under AB 481.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receipt and approval of this annual report. Any costs associated with authorized equipment are addressed through the Police Department’s approved budget, as applicable.

Assembly Bill No. 481
CHAPTER 406
An act to add Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, relating to military equipment. [Approved by Governor September 30, 2021. Filed with
Secretary of State September 30, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 481, Chiu. Law enforcement and state agencies: military equipment:
funding, acquisition, and use.

Existing law designates the Department of General Services as the agency for the State of California responsible for distribution of federal surplus personal property, excepting food commodities, and requires the department to, among other things, do all things necessary to the execution of its powers and duties as the state agency for the distribution of federal personal surplus property, excepting food commodities, in accordance with specified federal law. Existing law, the Federal Surplus Property Acquisition Law of 1945, authorizes a local agency, as defined, to acquire surplus federal property without regard to any law which requires posting of notices or advertising for bids, inviting or receiving bids, or delivery of purchases before payment, or which prevents the local agency from bidding on federal surplus property.

Existing federal law authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer surplus personal property, including arms and ammunition, to federal or state agencies for use in law enforcement activities, subject to specified conditions, at no cost to the acquiring agency.

This bill would require a law enforcement agency, defined to include specified entities, to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill would also require similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022. The bill would allow the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The bill would require the governing body to annually review the ordinance and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type, as defined, of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines, based on an annual military equipment report prepared by the law enforcement agency, as provided, that the military equipment does not comply with the above-described standards for approval. The bill would specify these provisions do not preclude a county or local municipality from implementing

92 Packet Page 91
additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

This bill would also require a state agency, as defined, to create a military equipment use policy before engaging in certain activities, publish the policy on the agency’s internet website, and provide a copy of the policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee, as specified. The bill would also require a state agency that seeks to continue use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022, to create a military equipment use policy.

This bill would also include findings that the changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.

By adding to the duties of local officials with respect to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)  The acquisition of military equipment and its deployment in our communities adversely impacts the public’s safety and welfare, including increased risk of civilian deaths, significant risks to civil rights, civil liberties, and physical and psychological well-being, and incurment of significant financial costs. Military equipment is more frequently deployed in low-income Black and Brown communities, meaning the risks and impacts of police militarization are experienced most acutely in marginalized communities.
(b)  The public has a right to know about any funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by state or local government officials, as well as a right to participate in any government agency’s decision to fund, acquire, or use such equipment.
(c)  Decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used should give strong consideration to the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties, and should be based on meaningful public input.
92 Ch. 406 — 2 —
Packet Page 92
(d)  Legally enforceable safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used.
(e)  The lack of a public forum to discuss the acquisition of military equipment jeopardizes the relationship police have with the community, which can be undermined when law enforcement is seen as an occupying force rather than a public safety service.

SEC. 2. Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) is added to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, to read:

Brown Act (Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 54950) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5), as applicable.

(2)  In order to facilitate public participation, any proposed or final military equipment use policy shall be made publicly available on the internet website of the relevant law enforcement agency for as long as the military equipment is available for use.
(e)  (1)  The governing body shall review any ordinance that it has adopted pursuant to this section approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment at least annually and, subject to paragraph (2), vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2) or the Ralph M.

(2)  The governing body shall determine, based on the annual military equipment report submitted pursuant to Section 7072, whether each type of military equipment identified in that report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in subdivision (d). If the governing body determines that a type of military equipment identified in that annual military equipment report has not complied with the standards for approval set forth in subdivision (d), the governing body shall either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for that type of military equipment or require modifications 92 Ch. 406 — 6 —
Packet Page 96
to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance.
(f)  Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) to (e), inclusive, if a city contracts with another entity for law enforcement services, the city shall have the authority to adopt a military equipment use policy based on local community needs.
7072. (a)  A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The annual military equipment report shall, at a minimum, include the following information for the immediately preceding calendar year for each type of military equipment:
(1)  A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
(2)  A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.
(3)  The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response. (4)  The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
(5)  The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. (6)  If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
(b)  Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing an annual military equipment report pursuant to this section, the law enforcement agency shall hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. 7073. (a)  A state agency shall create a military equipment use policy prior to engaging in any of the following:
(1)  Requesting military equipment made available pursuant to Section 2576a of Title 10 of the United States Code.
(2)  Seeking funds for military equipment, including, but not limited to, applying for a grant, soliciting or accepting private, local, state, or federal funds, in-kind donations, or other donations or transfers. (3)  Acquiring military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing.
92 — 7 — Ch. 406
Packet Page 97
(4)  Collaborating with a law enforcement agency or another state agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the territorial jurisdiction of the governing body.
(5)  Using any new or existing military equipment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the governing body pursuant to this chapter.
(6)  Soliciting or responding to a proposal for, or entering into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, or to apply to receive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of, military equipment. (7)  Acquiring military equipment through any means not provided by this subdivision.
(b)  No later than May 1, 2022, a state agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment that was acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall create a military equipment use policy.
(c)  A state agency that is required to create a military equipment use policy pursuant to this section shall do both of the following within 180 days of completing the policy:
(1)  Publish the military equipment use policy on the agency’s internet website.
(2)  Provide a copy of the military equipment use policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee.
7074. The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring adequate oversight of the acquisition and use of military equipment is a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this chapter applies to all cities, including charter cities and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions in the charter of any city, county, or city and county. 7075. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude a county or local municipality from implementing additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which adds Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, furthers, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

Requiring local agencies to hold public meetings prior to the acquisition of military equipment further exposes that activity to public scrutiny and enhances public access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district under this act would 92 Ch. 406 — 8 —

Once a year, members of the Seaside Fire Department nominate fire personnel to be selected as Firefighter of the Year. A nominee is selected among his/her peers based on dedication, service to the community and exemplary efforts throughout the year.

Nominees are then forwarded to the selection committee and the finalist serves as the Seaside Fire Department Firefighter of the Year for all recognition events. The Firefighter of the Year tradition started in 1966 with the first documented recipient being Captain John R Kaser.

Furthermore, the Seaside Firefighter of the Year recipient may be nominated for the Monterey County Fire Chiefs Association (MCFCA) Firefighter of the Year Awards Ceremony. Firefighters from departments across Monterey County are considered for this honor. Since the inception of the MCFCA award, the Seaside Fire Department has proudly had four firefighters recognized with this prestigious distinction: Raul Mayorga (1998), Jason Black (2006), Michael Garcia (2011), and Jason Hicks (2012).

For 2025 Matt Bryan stood out and was selected as fire fighter of the Year because of his daily commitment to the department and outstanding achievements. CONGRATULATIONS MATT!!

In 2003, the City of Del Rey
Oaks entered into a contract
with our department for fire
protection services within the
city limits.

This has been a positive
arrangement for both cities,
and Seaside has become very in
involved in all phases of Del Rey
Oaks fire protection; offering
Del Rey Oaks residents the
same range of services as our
own residents.

Over the last year, the Seaside Fire Department, in coordination with other Monterey County fire agencies, has implemented Tablet Command as the primary mobile platform for incident command and situational awareness. Tablet Command replaced traditional paper-based command boards and whiteboards with a real-time digital solution accessible on tablets and mobile devices. The platform integrates incident command functions, resource management, and mapping into a single operational view, improving information flow from dispatch through incident termination.

Tablet Command integrates with the department’s CAD and staffing systems, allowing responding officers and command staff to view unit status, personnel assignments, and incident details in real time. The system also supports interagency incident sharing, improving coordination with mutual aid partners and dispatch centers during complex or extended incidents.

Our new firefighter hires 2025
WELCOME TO OUR TEAM!
My name is Adam Poffenbarger, I am a Probationary Firefighter. I live in Livermore with my wife and two boys. I have a BS in Construction Management from Cal Poly SLO. Prior to joining the fire service I spent 8 years working in the construction industry as a Project Manager.

When I am not at work I spend my time with my family, hiking, mountain biking and taking road trips.

I am Walbert Bernardo, I was born on the central coast and have been living in Seaside since I was 9 years old. Growing up in this city has been extremely fun. I grew up playing sports and skateboarding through the streets of Seaside. After graduating high school, I decided to stay local and went to MPC for a couple of years before transferring to California State University of Monterey Bay and receiving my Bachelor's Degree. After college, I decided to pursue a career in the fire service, so I enrolled in Monterey Peninsula College EMT program, which was followed by their Fire Academy.

More recently, I obtained my Associate's Degree in Fire Science from MPC as well. In my free time, I enjoy working out, hiking and watching my Bay Area sports teams. I am ecstatic to be working for such a great fire department that serves the community and the city where I grew up.

My name is Maricela Ramos, I am the Administrative Assistant for our Seaside Fire Department. A dedicated professional with a background in administrative support and education. Born in Monterey, California, I have been proudly serving the City of Seaside since October 2014. I earned my Associate's Degree from Monterey Peninsula College and continued my academic journey at California State University Monterey Bay, where I received a Bachelor's Degree in World Languages and Cultures. I furthered my studies at CSUMB and transitioned into a Spanish & English Medical terminology teacher.

Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy painting, spending time at the beach and creating meaningful memories with my beautiful family.

CADE T PROGRAM
Seaside Fire Department youth cadets in training practiced rapid intervention techniques (RIC) for downed firefighter rescues. The cadets successfully located a downed firefighter, conducted an assessment, provided a report via radio communication, and properly packaged the firefighter for safe extrication from the building.

Mastering these skills is a critical responsibility in the fire service.

In addition, the cadets practiced various search techniques to locate individuals in low-visibility areas. They also inspected and operated the aerial ladder on the truck, an essential task performed every Saturday to ensure its safe operation and readiness for deployment in any situation.

During the winter storms, our department received numerous calls from residents and business owners who were experiencing immediate threats to their property due to weather‐related issues; such as residential flooding, downed power lines and falling trees. The amount of rainfall our area anticipated, prompted a proactive approach to storm preparations. One resource made available to our community was the sandbag distribution area located at our fire station.

Hundreds of sandbags were filled by City of Seaside Fire Department personnel, members of the community were assisted with loading the sandbags into their vehicle and in special cases, the bags were even delivered and set up for the ones that were not able to physically safeguard their home from the approaching storms.

Firefighting is an inherently dangerous and
physically demanding activity. During the
course of their duties, firefighters are exposed
to several potentially life‐threatening dangers,
including burn injury, hazardous chemicals,
asphyxiation, collapse, explosion, and
entrapment. Despite these myriad dangers, it
is the physiological consequences of
firefighting that poses the greatest threat to
firefighters. In fact, the leading cause of line‐of
‐duty death for firefighters is a sudden cardiac
event (Fahy, 2005).

COMMUNI T Y RI SK REDUC T ION
CPR | CAR S EAT INS TAL LAT IONS
CPR courses are offered once every quarter. If a request for training from a large group occurs, we will make every effort to meet that request.

It is our goal of the program to educate as many citizens as possible, so that the event of a cardiac arrest, those trained will be able to step in and assist others in need until first responders arrive on scene. It has been proven that early CPR, in the event of a cardiac arrest, will substantially increase the survival rate of a patient.

Another improvement to the program has been the CPR training information placed on our fire department website. This section of the website will provide the public with all the information needed to register for upcoming classes. Please contact Brett Heirigs ([email protected]) for any questions regarding CPR Certifications.

The Child Car Seat Safety Check program has proven to be very beneficial to our community.

Each car seat technician has attended a 1‐week, certified class on the proper installation and best practices for every type of car seat. In addition, each member must continue their training by completing several hours of installs, public events and in class training every 2 years.

Residents interested in having their child’s safety seat checked or installed can do so by calling the station to schedule an appointment. Appointments can be made any
day of the week, after 3 pm. A one time commitment
between 30 minutes to an hour should be expected. During this time, the technician will inspect the safety seat, and also educate the caregiver on several different safety tips
regarding vehicle safety and child care safety in a vehicle.

29 DRONE PROGRAM
The Seaside Fire Department Drone Program continues to play a vital role in enhancing emergency response capabilities and safeguarding the community. By providing real-time aerial intelligence, trained personnel are able to give command staff a clearer understanding of incident conditions, enabling safer and more informed decision-making. This technology significantly reduces risk to firefighters by minimizing the need for immediate, hands-on reconnaissance in hazardous environments.

The program supports a wide range of incidents, including structure and wildland fires, search and rescue operations, hazardous materials responses, and the monitoring of illegal fireworks activity that poses a significant fire risk. In addition, the drone team contributes to departmental training and public safety education, reinforcing the Department’s commitment to innovation and community service.

In 2025, the Seaside Fire Drone Team had an especially productive year. Team pilots completed more than 240 hours of flight training, further strengthening their proficiency with three frontline aircraft and the DroneSense flight software to ensure safe and effective airspace operations. The team responded to 10 calls for service, providing mutual aid to fire and law enforcement agencies throughout Monterey County.

Notable deployments included assisting Monterey County Sheriff’s Office personnel in Carmel Valley during a search for a dangerous murder suspect, supporting response efforts during the shark attack at Lover’s Point, documenting an oil sheen near the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and conducting aerial surveillance during Fourth of July enforcement operations targeting illegal fireworks activity. Through coordinated efforts with Seaside Police and CAL FIRE drone pilots, the team contributed to a measurable reduction in illegal fireworks compared to 2024, despite continued activity.

Established in 2015, the Seaside Fire Drone Team was created to leverage aerial technology in response to natural disasters, missing persons incidents, injured hikers, and other complex emergencies. The program continues to evolve, embracing proven technologies that enhance operational effectiveness and improve outcomes for those in need.

FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Samantha Sakhrani, Human Resources Director/Risk Manager DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE

CITY MANAGER'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AUTHORIZING A
1% INCREASE AND AN AMENDMENT OF THE FY 2025-2026

ANNUAL BUDGET

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the amendment to the City Manager’s employment agreement.

BACKGROUND
The City Manager’s employment agreement was approved on February 6, 2025, and Greg McDanel was appointed City Manager effective March 17, 2025. The agreement authorizes the City Council to adjust the City Manager’s salary following the City Manager’s annual performance evaluation, with any changes to be made at a regularly held meeting.

Effective July 5, 2025, employees within their respective bargaining groups received a three percent (3%) general salary increase. This increase also applied to employees not represented by bargaining groups, excluding the City Manager, whose compensation is governed by the City Manager’s employment agreement.

On April 2, 2026, the City Council conducted the City Manager’s annual performance evaluation and determined that a three percent (3%) salary increase was warranted.

Following discussion, the proposed amendment reflects a one percent (1%) increase to the City Manager’s annual salary.

The City Manager’s current annual salary is $285,000.00. The proposed amendment provides for a one percent (1%) increase retroactively effective July 1, 2025, consistent Packet Page 156

Item No. 10.E. Page 2 of 2
with the timing of the FY 2025-2026 salary increase provided to other employee groups.

This amendment would increase the City Manager’s annual salary to $287,850.00. No other changes to the employment agreement are proposed.

FISCAL IMPACT
This item requires a budget adjustment for FY 2025-2026 in the amount of $2,850.00.

Item No.: 10.F.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Assistant City Manager
Greg McDanel, City Manager
DATE: April 16, 2026
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL PUBLIC ART CONCEPT WITHIN

CALTRANS RIGHT-OF-WAY

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the potential public art concept within Caltrans right-of-way and provide direction to staff regarding whether to proceed with additional feasibility review, coordination, and project development.

BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside continues to explore placemaking opportunities that enhance community identity, improve the visual environment, and create welcoming gateways into the city. Public art can serve as one tool to activate highly visible spaces and support community character.

In alignment with these objectives, a potential public art concept has been identified within Caltrans right-of-way near the overpass connecting Highway 1 and Fremont Boulevard.

Preliminary coordination regarding this concept has occurred, including discussions involving Councilmember Miller, concerning the possible installation of murals on the overpass connecting Highway 1 to Fremont Boulevard. Based on those preliminary discussions, certain structural “bents” and abutment walls may be appropriate for mural treatment, subject to further staff coordination with Caltrans, project scoping, design Packet Page 168

Item No. 10.F. Page 2 of 2
review, and any required approvals.

Conceptually, this creates mural opportunities for:
-- Eight (8) structural bents, each with two sides, resulting in up to 16 potential mural canvases
-- Four (4) abutment walls available for artistic treatment While dimensions vary, each bent is estimated at approximately 24 feet by 28 feet (672 square feet), providing substantial surface area for large-scale visual impact.

The concept was also referenced during public comment before the Neighborhood Improvement Commission on April 6, 2026. However, no specific project scope, funding commitment, or implementation plan is being recommended through this item. Rather, this discussion is intended to allow the full City Council to consider whether the concept merits further evaluation and staff work.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this discussion item. Any future fiscal impacts associated with design, installation, maintenance, or project administration would be presented to the City Council for future consideration.
