CITY OF SEASIDE
STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 7.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Nick Borges, Police Chief
Matthew Doza, Sergeant
DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: 4TH OF JULY PUBLIC SAFETY OPERATIONAL PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
Receive a presentation regarding the City of Seaside’s 2026 4th of July Public Safety Operational Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside maintains a zero-tolerance approach to the possession and use of illegal fireworks. In coordination with the Seaside Fire Department, the Seaside Police Department has developed a Fourth of July Public Safety Operational Plan focused on public education, deterrence, enforcement, emergency response, and the protection of residents, visitors, and property.
The operational plan includes the following components:
Public Education and Community Awareness
In advance of the Fourth of July holiday, the Seaside Police Department will conduct a public awareness campaign regarding the dangers and legal consequences associated with illegal fireworks. Outreach will include social media messaging, informational media releases, and portable message boards placed along major thoroughfares. These efforts will continue through the holiday period.
The Police Department will also utilize its Flock firework detection network to identify areas experiencing suspected illegal fireworks activity in the weeks leading up to July 4.
This information will be used to guide enforcement deployment and targeted educational outreach regarding applicable City and State fireworks laws. In addition, the Packet Page 7
Item No. 7.A. Page 2 of 3
City Manager’s Office will mail informational notices to areas identified as having elevated fireworks activity during the 2025 holiday period.
Enforcement Operations
Police officers have been directed to enforce fireworks-related violations under the City’s zero-tolerance approach to illegal fireworks. Violations observed by officers, or supported by sufficient evidence obtained through investigation, may result in citations or other appropriate enforcement action.
Staff anticipates an increase in fireworks-related calls for service in the period leading up to and immediately following July 4. To respond to this anticipated activity, additional police officers will be assigned during the week preceding the holiday and for one week following the holiday, or longer as operationally necessary.
On July 4, two designated enforcement teams will operate during daytime and evening hours. The teams will include command staff and two sergeants, each supervising assigned police officers focused on fireworks suppression and related calls for service.
The Records Division will also provide additional staffing on July 4 to assist with the anticipated call volume and administrative support associated with fireworks enforcement.
Fire Department Operations
The Seaside Fire Department will coordinate with the Police Department throughout the holiday enforcement period. The Fire Department will deploy drones, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law and City policy, to monitor publicly accessible areas for fire safety hazards and to assist in documenting suspected illegal fireworks activity.
Any video or other information obtained may be used by the Police Department as part of its investigation and enforcement efforts.
The Fire Department will also staff an additional engine to respond to emergency calls and fires associated with fireworks activity.
Community Reporting and Tip Lines
The Seaside Police Department will monitor its social media platforms for information concerning illegal fireworks possession or use. Information received from the public will be evaluated and, when actionable, may be used to support enforcement activities and the issuance of citations.
The City will also publicize dedicated phone and text options for reporting illegal fireworks activity. Community members are encouraged to provide identifying information when possible, particularly when their cooperation may be necessary to support enforcement action; however, anonymous reports will also be accepted.

TO THE NATIONAL GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS IN
ORLANDO, FLORIDA ON JUNE 5–8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the request.
BACKGROUND
Boosters at Rising Stars is requesting a donation of $3,000.00 from the Mayor's Youth Fund to assist with the costs associated with expenses for travel to the National Gymnastics Championships in Orlando, Florida from June 5–8, 2026. Their outstanding program is designed to teach their students' ages 6-17 poise, character, and selfdiscipline, all while developing a physically fit and responsible individual.
It is their mission to provide gymnastics instruction to all their students enrolled in their program in both a fun and safe environment. Their students worked hard throughout the year and maintained at least a 3.0 G.P.A. and qualified for the National Championship. The students picked up trash and recycled cans and bottles at Roberts Lake. They also do a beach clean-up when they go jogging on the Del Monte Beach and Seaside Beach. In addition, they also helped clean and collect recycling materials at the 2025 Big Sur Marathon.
Boosters at Rising Stars provide a community benefit by supporting youth athletic participation, promoting physical fitness and character development, organizing family Packet Page 31
Item No. 8.F. Page 2 of 2
and volunteer engagement activities, and helping make gymnastics opportunities more accessible to local children and families.

• Boosters ar Rising Stars is a non-profit organization. • They serve 60% of Seaside youths ages 6–17.
• Their program contributes to environmental sustainability and climate resilience. • Their program has a municipal community benefit.
They received their last donation at the May 15, 2025, City Council Meeting. They submitted their 2025 Mayor's Youth Fund Closing report within the 60-day time frame.
FISCAL IMPACT
This request would be funded by a donation from the Green Waste Recovery's donation to the Mayor's Youth Fund. The current balance of the Mayor's Youth Fund account (601-2106) is $8,122.20. If the City Council approves this request, the balance will decrease to $5,122.20. 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.

DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE AND
TRANSFER OF RETIRED SEASIDE POLICE DEPARTMENT K-9
ZHERO TO SERGEANT DAVID DILLON FOR ONE DOLLAR
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the sale and transfer of retired Seaside Police Department K-9 Zhero.
BACKGROUND
Seaside Police Department K-9 Zhero honorably served the City of Seaside from 2020 until his retirement from active police service in 2024. During his service, Zhero was assigned to Sergeant David Dillon, who served as his handler and has continued to house and care for him following his retirement.
Consistent with the City’s prior practice for retired Police Department K-9s, staff recommends transferring ownership of Zhero to Sergeant Dillon for the nominal purchase price of one dollar. The transfer recognizes the established bond between a police K-9 and his handler and provides for Zhero’s continued care in a familiar home following his public service.
Upon completion of the transfer, Sergeant Dillon will assume ownership of Zhero and responsibility for his ongoing care, including veterinary expenses and any other costs or liabilities associated with his ownership.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the transfer will result in nominal revenue of one dollar to the City.
Following the transfer, the City will no longer be responsible for costs associated with Packet Page 67

Please list your background,
education, experience, and
special skills:
I’ve been a lifelong resident of Monterey County, and my heart has always been in our community, especially with the youth.
I’m proud to serve on the board of DAV Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary Unit 85 in Fort Ord and to be involved with The Wahine Project in Monterey. Through these roles, I’ve seen firsthand how meaningful it is to create spaces where everyone feels welcome.
As an Operations Manager, I coordinate programs, lead teams, and handle logistics, however my favorite part is connecting with people. Every year, I work with kids from Seaside, The Village Project, and CPY, teaching ocean literacy, boogie boarding, body surfing, and surfing. For many of these kids, the ocean isn’t just a fun place, it’s a safe space that helps them build confidence, cope with anxiety, and discover joy. I especially love creating inclusive spaces in an environment that has historically been less diverse, making sure every child feels like they belong.
I hold a B.S. in Kinesiology from California State University Monterey Bay and two associate degrees from Monterey

Peninsula College (Natural Sciences and Pre-Nursing, both with honors). I’m trained in Swim Angelfish® Methodology, certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid USA, a Peer Support Specialist, and a BWRAG Responder.
I would be honored to bring my experience, passion, and dedication to the Parks and Recreation Committee, to help create safe, inclusive, and enriching programs and spaces that truly serve all members of our community.

CITY OF SEASIDE
STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.J.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Kirstin van Gend, Administrative Analyst II
DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONTRACTUAL 3.35%
ANNUAL RATE ADJUSTMENT FOR GREENWASTE RECOVERY
SOLID WASTE, RECYCLING, AND ORGANICS COLLECTION
SERVICES, EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2026
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the contractual annual index-based rate adjustment for GreenWaste Revovery services.
BACKGROUND
On June 19, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 14-54 approving an exclusive 15-year Franchise Agreement with GreenWaste Recovery, Inc. for the provision of solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services within the City of Seaside.
The Franchise Agreement establishes a prescribed formula for annual rate adjustments, effective July 1 of each year. The formula accounts for changes in disposal and processing costs, including tipping fees charged by ReGen Monterey, legally known as the Monterey Regional Waste Management District; inflationary adjustments to labor and operating costs; the City’s 15% franchise fee; and other applicable regulatory fees.
Based on the annual index-based rate adjustment calculation, GreenWaste Recovery has certified a 3.35% increase in collection rates effective July 1, 2026. The adjustment reflects several cost factors, including inflationary increases in labor and vehicle-related costs and increased landfill tipping fees.
Packet Page 79
Item No. 8.J. Page 2 of 2
As an example of the impact to residential customers, the monthly rate for a 32-gallon residential cart will increase from $27.78 to $28.71, an increase of $0.93 per month.
The complete proposed rate schedule effective July 1, 2026, is included as Exhibit C to the resolution.
City staff, in coordination with ReGen Monterey staff and HF&H Consultants, has reviewed the proposed rate calculation and determined that the methodology is consistent with the Franchise Agreement. Accordingly, staff recommends approval of the contractual rate adjustment effective July 1, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the proposed rate adjustment will increase collection service charges paid by GreenWaste Recovery customers. The adjustment will not result in a direct increase to City operating expenditures associated with this action. Because the Franchise Agreement provides for a franchise fee equal to 15% of gross receipts, the rate adjustment is expected to result in a corresponding increase in franchise fee revenue received by the City. The precise revenue impact will depend on actual customer accounts and collections during the fiscal year.

Subject: Review of GreenWaste Recovery’s 2026-27 Rate Request – Final Report Dear Greg McDanel,
HF&H Consultants, LLC (HF&H) was retained by ReGen Monterey (ReGen), formerly the Monterey Regional Waste Management District, to assist with a review of GreenWaste Recovery’s (GWR) request for an adjustment to customer rates, effective July 1, 2026, submitted to the City of Seaside (City) on April 1, 2026. This report presents our findings and recommendations.
Executive Summary
HF&H’s review of GWR’s Rate Period 12 (RP12) rate request to the City resulted in the following outcomes:
HF&H has determined a 3.35% increase is appropriate based on the following components:
• 3.50% inflationary increase in labor-related costs
• 2.30% inflationary increase in vehicle-related costs (excluding fuel) • Fuel rate held flat, as set by ReGen
• 2.30% inflationary increase in other costs
• Depreciation held flat, per the Agreement
• 2.60% overall increase in net processing costs due to increases in per-ton rates, slightly offset by decreases in recyclable and organic tonnages
• 7.51% increase in disposal costs due to an increase in per-ton disposal rate and tonnages Refer to Figure 1 below for the impact to sample residential rates.

Figure 1: Example Rate Impact of Adjustment
Background
In 2012, the City—participating with other members of ReGen—issued a competitive request for proposals for collection services and entered into the new agreement with GWR effective July 1, 2015. The agreement provides for the following, related to the adjustment of rates:
• Rates are to be adjusted annually throughout the term of the agreement, using various inflationary indices, actual tonnage, and changes in the tipping fees at ReGen, unless either the City or GWR request a Cost-Based Rate Adjustment (CBRA). • The City and GWR may mutually agree upon alternative approaches to structuring rates without amending the Agreement (Section 8.2.D).
• During the CBRA review in RP5, a number of issues surrounding the process for setting rates and the resulting rate relationships amongst sectors and materials were identified.
As such, the City and GWR have negotiated an amendment to the prescribed methodology for the CBRA and index adjustments to not alter rate relationships between service sectors and material types.
• Through negotiations of the amendment, as a result of the desire to maintain current rate relationships between sectors and service levels, the City and GWR have prescribed a uniform rate adjustment to be applied to all sectors.
Rate Calculation Review
HF&H SCOPE OF WORK
HF&H performed this review of the rate request in accordance with Exhibit E1 for the indexbased rate adjustment. These procedures included:
1. Review of the rate request for completeness and compliance with the procedures contained in Exhibit E1 of the Agreement based on the results of the CBRA.
2. Review for mathematical accuracy and logical consistency to determine that the rate request is mathematically correct, the rows and columns of numbers add down and across as intended, and the stated assumptions were, in fact, used. Determine that the rate request is internally consistent and any summary schedules agree to the supporting schedules and worksheets.
3. Verify the inclusion of the franchise fee calculation in the adjustment.

4. Verify contract compliance regarding:
A. The indices used in the adjustment.
B. The tip fees reported for the disposal and processing rate components.
C. The use of quarterly reported tonnage data and allocations among agencies. A detailed audit of tonnage and allocations of tonnage reported by GWR was not a part of this scope of work. HF&H discussed GWR’s allocation methodology, which appears reasonable and consistent with standard industry practices.
D. Any changes in governmental fees affecting the fee component of the rates, and the accurate application of the resulting percentage changes to the various rate components in the rate schedule approved by the City through the Agreement.

Review of GWR Costs
There are four major components to GWR’s rate application: (1) the calculation and application of the inflationary indices as prescribed in the Agreement; (2) the disposal and/or processing component; (3) the Agency Fees; and (4) other one-time adjustments.
There are three indices used in the index adjustment: Consumer Price Index (CPI), fuel index, and labor index. The annual percentage change in each index is used to project the coming year’s cost for the line items to which they apply.
HF&H has reviewed, and GWR has confirmed, the accuracy of each of these indices. It is noted that the fuel index remains unchanged, as reported by ReGen management staff.
Review of Disposal and Processing Components
Collected tonnage for Calendar Year 2025 was used for the RP12 review, in accordance with the amendment. The disposal and processing components also consider the tipping fees charged by ReGen to project anticipated disposal and processing costs at ReGen. Figure 3 below outlines the changes in the City’s disposal and processing costs for each material type— based on ReGen’s tip fees—effective July 1, 2026, which have been incorporated into our RP12 review.
Figure 3: Impact of ReGen Tip Fee Changes
Note: Values may not be exact due to rounding.
Review of Fee Component
HF&H ensured that the fee component of each rate matches the contractual percentage of 15% for franchise fees, which are remitted to the City by GWR.
Additionally, rate application review costs and other identified ReGen costs totaling $109,239 were added as a one-time adjustment. These costs cover the rate review, franchise management, staff time, and public education and outreach.
NEW RATES
Attached hereto is a table of all new rates recommended for RP12 based on the adjustments described in this report (Attachment A). HF&H recommends adopting these rates by resolution to be effective July 1, 2026.

CITY OF SEASIDE
STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.K.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Kirstin van Gend, Administrative Analyst II
DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
WITH REGEN MONTEREY AND MEMBER AGENCIES FOR SENATE
BILL 1383 COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Fiscal Year 2026-2027 amendments to the Memorandum of Understanding with ReGen Monterey and participating member agencies.
BACKGROUND
On July 15, 2021 the City of Seaside approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ReGen Monterey and participating member agencies to coordinate regional activities necessary to comply with California Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383). Participating agencies include the cities of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Del Rey Oaks, Marina, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Sand City, and Seaside; the Pebble Beach Community Services District; and the County of Monterey. Each year ReGen staff identify expected expenses associated with jurisdictional compliance of SB 1383.
SB 1383 establishes statewide requirements intended to reduce the disposal of organic waste and increase the recovery of edible food for beneficial use. Regulations took effect and local program implementation began on January 1, 2022. The regulation has significant impact on each Member Agency with the goal of reducing organic material being landfilled by 75% by 2025, compared to a 2014 basis. The legislation mandates that Member Agencies undertake certain activities around the handling of organic waste materials collected within their jurisdictions. The regulation also requires 20% recovery of edible food by 2025 to direct it to a beneficial use and thus, preventing edible food Packet Page 91
Item No. 8.K. Page 2 of 4
from entering the waste stream.
In 2021, the Member Agencies determined that it was in their best interest to coordinate their activities related to this legislation. This coordination is facilitated by ReGen Monterey’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of staff from each Member Agency, the three haulers in our service area (Haulers) and ReGen Monterey.
The MOU was adopted by the ReGen Monterey Board on June 18, 2021, and the Member Agencies soon thereafter, becoming effective July 1, 2021.
The Member Agencies determined that ReGen Monterey has the expertise and resources necessary to implement shared activities on the Member Agencies’ behalf and requested that ReGen incur costs to provide these activities. The Member Agencies have agreed to reimburse ReGen for proportionate shares of certain designated annual costs incurred by ReGen for these activities under a MOU.
Since the implementation of the MOU, ReGen Monterey’s staff and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) have had great success implementing SB 1383 requirements.
The MOU continues to be valuable for the City of Seaside in facilitating the implementation of SB 1383. In Fiscal Year 2025-2026 the MOU, in partnership with Salinas Valley Recyles, funded the awards of over $95,000 to local Food Recovery Organization for capacity building, including CSUMB's Basic Needs and All in Monterey County based in Seaside. The MOU continued funding required Edible Food Recovery outreach, education, and inspections as well as general SB 1383 outreach efforts to the public.
DISCUSSION
The amendment submitted for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 updates Exhibit A of the MOU, which lists the regional costs, and Exhibit B, the Annual Proportionate Shares of the Cost. Expenses include items such as program administration, public education, monitoring, reporting and edible food recovery capacity building, procurement, and program administration and outreach.
New for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 are some activities that were previously funded by CalRecycle Local Assistance Grant Program (LAGP) that now must be funded directly by the Member Agencies. This includes mandated programs for procurement of organic material (compost); commercial and multi-family organics outreach; and increased funding for increased public education to continue with media spending for the Sort with Heart campaign. This shared funding strategy remains an immense value for Seaside to achieve compliance with SB 1383.
Exhibit B of the MOU identifies the costs proportionally per member agency by percentage per population. The cost is further adjusted by the establishment of cost minimums for each member agency, the County of Monterey’s participation in only the Packet Page 92
Item No. 8.K. Page 3 of 4
Edible Food Activities, and the exclusion of the County and City of Monterey from the Franchise Contract Management tasks, which are not applicable, as their franchise agreements are with different haulers.
A newly added cost, previously covered by LAGP funding, is the required Procurement of Organic Material. The Annual Procurement Targets for each jurisdiction are set by CalRecycle on an annual basis. All member agencies, excluding Monterey County, have a Direct Service Agreement with Keith Day Company for the procurement of the organic material for a flat fee of $5 per ton. This agreement is a cost-saving measure for the City of Seaside, which would otherwise have to procure, on an annual basis, the required tons of compost (1,491 tons) directly at a rate of approximately $28 per ton to be used or given away by the City.
The anticipated amended regional cost (Exhibit A) is $381,954.00, and the cost to the City of Seaside (Exhibit B) is $109,239.00. The increase of $11,251.00 from FY 2025/2026 is primarily due to the end of the LAGP funding for required activities.
The draft FY 26/27 expenses were first presented to the TAC for review, feedback, and consensus. It was then presented to the ReGen Monterey Board of Directors and Member Agencies’ Councils and Boards and was approved on May 22, 2026.
The amendment to the MOU applies to FYE 2027. The cost of the City's proportional share for the MOU with ReGen are recovered through the Franchise Fees collected from Greenwaste Recovery.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of this item is $109,239.00 which has been incorporated into the 2026/2027 Greenwaste Recovery trash rates and is recovered by the City through Franchise Fees.

Regulations take effect, and local program implementation will begin, on January 1, 2022.
B. The Member Agencies have determined that it is in their best interest to coordinate their activities related to this legislation. This coordination is being facilitated by the District’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of staff from each Member Agency, the three Haulers in the District service area (Haulers), Salinas Valley Recycles (SVR) and MRWMD.
C. The Member Agencies have further determined that the District has the expertise and resources necessary to implement some of these activities on the Member Agencies’ behalf and have now requested that the District incur costs to provide these activities.

RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside's Recreation Department wishes to continue its partnership with the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District (MPUSD) to provide after-school recreational programming for students attending the Dual Language Academy of the Monterey Peninsula (DLAMP). The City has successfully completed its first year offering the program, and has been asked to continue the program for the 26-27 school year.
These programs are aimed at enhancing students' academic and social development outside of school hours. The City of Seaside, through its Recreation Department, has been providing quality recreational activities, including sports, arts and crafts, homework assistance, and enrichment opportunities in other locations such as the Oldemeyer Center, and the Hamilton Ellis, and Martin Plaza.This partnership with MPUSD is an extension of the services already provided to the community. In order to offer these services and ensure proper funding for the programs, a formal agreement with MPUSD is necessary to reimburse the City for the costs associated with these services.

Item No. 8.M. Page 2 of 3
The proposed contract outlines a reimbursement arrangement whereby MPUSD will provide compensation to the City of Seaside at a rate of $100 per participant enrolled in the after-school programming services at DLAMP per month. The terms of the agreement will include:
• Reimbursement Amount: MPUSD will reimburse the City $100.00 per participant enrolled per month in the after-school recreational programming. • Term of Agreement: The contract will be effective for the 26-27 school year, with the option for renewal based on mutual agreement between both parties. • Program Oversight: The City’s Recreation Department will oversee and manage the after-school programming, ensuring that the program meets the educational and recreational needs of DLAMP students, and the requirements set forth in the agreement.
This agreement formalizes the collaboration between the City and the School District, helping to ensure that the students at DLAMP continue to benefit from a structured and enriching after-school environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Under the proposed agreement, MPUSD will reimburse the City at a rate of $100 per enrolled student per month, for up to 120 students. The City will be responsible for the staffing, supplies, equipment, administrative support, and other operational costs necessary to provide the after-school program. Based on anticipated enrollment and program operating costs, staff anticipates that reimbursement revenue under the agreement will support the cost of providing the contracted services.
Approval of this agreement does not require an additional General Fund appropriation.
Program revenues and corresponding expenditures will be accounted for within the Recreation Department budget in accordance with the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.

When releasing a student, staff must verify the identity of the parent or authorized guardian using pre-established procedures. A secure, designated pick-up area should be utilized, and any alternative pick-up arrangements or delays must be pre-approved by the site lead. In emergencies or unforeseen circumstances, specific protocols—such as emergency contact procedures and temporary supervised holding areas— need to be established to ensure children's safety.
1.3.2. Early Release procedure: The ELO program runs each day school is in session from school dismissal until 6:00pm.

PUPIL RECORDS RIDER FOR
DIGITAL RECORDS STORAGE AND/OR DIGITAL
EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE CONTRACTS
Monterey Peninsula Unified School District (“District”) and [vendor], and acting on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (“Vendor”) have entered into that certain Data Sharing Agreement (“Agreement”) as of the Effective Date therein. The Agreement includes the digital storage, management, and retrieval of pupil records and/or digital educational software through which the Vendor accesses, stores, and uses pupil records. This Pupil Records Rider (“Rider”), executed by the District and Vendor as of the Effective Date listed above in the Agreement, is intended to supplement and amend the terms of the Agreement, as set forth below. This Rider concerns “pupil records”, as that term is defined by Education Code section 49073.1 (“Pupil Records”) and/or “covered information,” which means personally identifiable information or materials as defined by Business and Professions Code section 22584 (“Covered Information”).
Pupil Records Property of District. All Pupil Records are and will continue to be the property of and under the control of the District. The Parties agree that as between them, all rights, including all intellectual property rights in and to Pupil Records, shall remain the exclusive property of the District, and the Vendor has a limited, nonexclusive license to such Pupil Records.
The Agreement and Rider do not give Vendor any rights, implied or otherwise, to Pupil Records, except as expressly stated in the Agreement and this Rider.
Pupil-Generated Content. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1 and as required by applicable law, pupils shall retain ownership and control of pupil-generated content, if any (as that term is defined by Education Code section 49073.1(d)(4)). The Vendor shall make all pupil-generated content, if any, available to the pupil who created it and provide a process by which a pupil can transfer his or her pupil-generated content to a personal account. Within thirty (30) days of executing this Rider, the Vendor shall provide the District with a written description of the process it will provide to pupils in compliance with this section 2.
Use of Information in Pupil Records. Vendor may not and will not use any Pupil Record or information in a Pupil Record for any purpose other than those required or expressly permitted by the Agreement and this Rider.
Personally Identifiable Information. The Vendor shall provide a process by which a pupil’s parent, legal guardian, or eligible pupil can review personally identifiable information in the pupil’s records and correct erroneous information.
Security and Confidentiality of Pupil Records. The Vendor will access, store, and use Pupil Records only in accordance with industry standard practices, including appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, to secure such data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and use. Such measures will be no less protective than those used to secure the Vendor’s own data of a similar type. Without limiting the foregoing, the Vendor 10 Packet Page 161
shall take industry standard steps designed to ensure that all Pupil Records will be encrypted in transmission via web interface using a minimum SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (including via web interface) and stored at no less than 256-bit level encryption or otherwise use encryption and security measures in compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations.
In addition, the Vendor will use industry standard and up-to-date security tools and technologies such as anti-virus protections and intrusion detection methods in providing services under the Agreement and/or this Rider.
The Vendor will designate employees or agents it holds and will hold primarily responsible for meeting the Vendor’s duties to maintain and protect Pupil Records securely. The Vendor will reasonably ensure that the designated persons have or will receive appropriate training and information to meet the Vendor’s duties to protect and maintain Pupil Records securely. The designation of employees or agents required under this section does not relieve the Vendor of any of its duties under the law or the Agreement and/or this Rider, nor relieve the Vendor of any liability for any breach thereof.
Unauthorized Disclosure. Promptly upon becoming aware of unauthorized disclosure of Pupil Records (“Incident”), the Vendor will notify the District as set forth in the Agreement, fully investigate the Incident, and reasonably cooperate with the District’s investigation of and response to the Incident. Except as otherwise required by law, the Vendor will not provide notice of the Incident directly to parents, legal guardians, or pupils whose personally identifiable information was involved, to regulatory agencies or other entities, without prior written permission from the District. District may, by written request, direct Vendor to provide notice of the Incident directly to parents, legal guardians, or pupils whose personally identifiable information was involved or to regulatory agencies or other entities.
Retention of Pupil Records. The Vendor hereby certifies that it shall not retain or make available Pupil Records to third parties, such as subcontractors, partners, or associated entities of the Vendor, upon completion of the terms of the Vendor and this Rider, unless otherwise permitted by the Agreement, as permitted by law, or authorized in writing by the District.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent set forth by applicable law, Vendor may maintain pupil-generated content (as that term is defined by Education Code section 49073.1(d)(4)), if any, upon completion of the term of the Agreement and this Rider if, and only if, the parent, legal guardian, or eligible pupil chooses to establish or maintain an account with the Vendor for the purpose of storing the pupil-generated content and the Vendor receives the written permission of a pupil’s parent or legal guardian to establish or maintain the pupil’s account.
In furtherance of the foregoing, upon termination or expiration of the Agreement and this Rider, Vendor will take industry standard steps designed to ensure that all Pupil Records are securely returned or destroyed as directed by the District. Transfer to the District or a third party designated by the District shall occur as set forth in the Agreement and without significant interruption in service. The Vendor shall take industry standard steps designed to ensure that such transfer/migration uses facilities and methods that are compatible with the relevant systems of the District or its transferee and to the extent technologically feasible, that the District will have reasonable access to Pupil Records during the transition. In the event that the District 11 Packet Page 162
requests, in writing, the destruction of any Pupil Records, the Vendor agrees to take industry standard steps designed to securely destroy all Pupil Records in its possession and in possession of any subcontractors or agents to which the Vendor might have transferred Pupil Records.
Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The Vendor agrees to assist the District in maintaining the privacy of Pupil Records as may be required by applicable State and Federal law, including but not limited to the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PRRA), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (SOPIPA).
The Vendor will provide access to Pupil Records only to its employees, subcontractors, officers, directors, and agents who must access the data to fulfill Vendor obligations under the Agreement and/or this Rider. The Vendor will take reasonable steps designed to ensure that employees who perform work under the Agreement and/or this Rider receive appropriate instruction on how to comply with the data protection provisions of this Rider. The Vendor will use the Pupil Records only to fulfill its duties under the Agreement and/or this Rider for the District’s and its pupils’ benefit and will not share such Pupil Records with or disclose it to any third party except as provided for in the Agreement, including the Rider, as permitted by law, or authorized in writing by the District.
If Vendor will have access to “education records” for the District’s students as defined under FERPA (“Education Records”), Vendor acknowledges that, for the purposes of the Agreement and/or this Rider, it will be designated as a “school official” with “legitimate educational interests” in the District Education Records, as those terms have been defined under FERPA and its implementing regulations, and the Vendor agrees to abide by the applicable FERPA limitations and requirements imposed on school officials. To the extent required by applicable law, the Vendor will use the Education Records only to fulfill its duties under the Agreement and/or this Rider for the District’s and its pupils’ benefit and will not share such Education Records with or disclose it to any third party except as provided for in the Agreement, as permitted by law, or authorized in writing by the District.
No Targeted Advertising. The Vendor will not use Pupil Records for advertising or marketing purposes unless such use is authorized explicitly by this Agreement or otherwise authorized in writing by the District. The Vendor will not use Pupil Records to engage in targeted advertising. The Vendor is prohibited from mining Pupil Records for purposes other than those agreed to by the parties.
Covered Information. To the extent the Vendor is an operator of an Internet Website, online service, online application, or mobile application, with actual knowledge that the site, service, or application is used primarily for K-12 school purposes and was designed and marketed for K-12 school purposes, Vendor agrees to comply with applicable requirements of Business and Professions Code section 22584. The Vendor agrees not to engage in targeted advertising as described in section 22584. To the extent required by applicable law, the Vendor agrees not to use Covered Information, including persistent unique identifiers created or gathered by the Vendor’s site, service, or application, to amass a profile about a student except in furtherance of the District’s purposes. The Vendor further agrees that it will not sell, disclose, or otherwise use Covered Information without the prior written consent of the 12 Packet Page 163
District. The Vendor will implement and maintain reasonable security procedures to protect Covered Information and fulfill all other applicable requirements of the Business and Professions Code section 22584.

BACKGROUND
HOPE Services (HOPE) is a local non-profit organization engaged in the training of persons with disabilities to enter the mainstream workforce. Since 2001, Hope Services has provided the City with public works maintenance assistance and has proven to be an invaluable asset. In return, the City has provided work experience and opportunities for persons with disabilities. HOPE maintains the City parks by removing trash from cans, picking up litter, replacing dog waste bags and maintaining the dog waste stations; and provides additional litter control on Coe Avenue, General Jim Moore Blvd., Monterey Road, southwest corner of the intersection of Canyon Del Rey and Fremont Boulevard, and designated alleyways throughout the City. They also pick up litter and empty cans outside at City Hall and County Library, Oldemeyer Center, Pattullo Swim, and Youth Education Center.
There are twenty-four (24) parks and other public areas in the City that have benefited from the successful partnership with HOPE. It has allowed the City Parks staff to concentrate on beautification projects and maintenance and repair of irrigation Packet Page 166

systems, and has reduced City staff overtime.
The attached contract provides for four (4) workers and one (1) supervisor by HOPE to perform maintenance and cleanup tasks in and around public facilities. The HOPE crew is scheduled to work six and a half hours (6.5 hrs) per day from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with a half hour lunch break, Monday through Friday. The work performed by HOPE is under the direction of the City Maintenance and Utilities Superintendent. The core objective required to be performed by the HOPE crew is the cleaning of litter at each park at least once a week. Also, HOPE’s supervisor is responsible for tracking the amount of litter removed by the clean-up of parks as part of the required documentation for the city’s Storm Water Management Program.
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a one-year Maintenance Services Agreement with HOPE Services for an amount not to exceed $158,417.50.

DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO
INCREASE APPROPRIATIONS IN SPECIAL REVENUE FUND
ACCOUNT 221-61-20-8184 TO COVER ANNUAL PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES EXPENDITURES ASSOCIATED WITH PUBLIC SAFETY
TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT EXPENSE IN THE AMOUNT OF
$125,709.06
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the proposed resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Police Department utilizes grant-funded Special Revenue Fund account 221-61-20- 8184 to support large annual public safety expenditures. We are requesting additional appropriations for this fund to cover our annual equipment costs, including contracts and services related to Axon body worn cameras, Tasers, and Flock Safety technologies.
These tools are critical to officer safety, evidence collection, transparency, and investigative operations. During the current fiscal year, the annual Professional Services invoice from Flock Safety Group exceeded the available budget appropriation within the account, resulting in the account being over budget. Additionally, we have previously used a separate line item to cover the annual cost for Axon, which covers our body camera, Taser and evidence cloud storage. This should also be covered through the grant-funded Special Revenue. The Police Department is requesting a budget amendment to increase appropriations within Special Revenue Fund account 221-61-20- 8184 by $125,709.06, in order to cover the annual costs and restore budgetary balance within the department. Approval of this amendment will ensure that all contractual obligations are properly funded and that the Police Department remains in compliance with adopted budget requirements.

Item No.: 9.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Andrew Myrick, Housing & Planning Manager
DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 17.40 OF THE SEASIDE
MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW ELECTRONIC MESSAGE DISPLAY
SIGNS FOR PLACES OF WORSHIP AND PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
MEETING FACILITIES ON LOCAL STREETS. THIS ACTION IS
NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15061(B)(3) OF THE CEQA
GUIDELINES (FIRST READING - ROLL CALL VOTE)
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct first reading and open public hearing.
BACKGROUND
Signs in the City of Seaside are regulated by Chapter 17.40 of the Municipal Code.
Among the provisions of this Chapter is Section 17.40.080.I pertaining to electronic message board display signs (ie electronic signs that make use of a screen or multiple lights to display a changeable message) at public and private meeting facilities. Public and private meeting facilities most commonly include religious assembly but can also include secular uses such as civic auditoriums or other meeting spaces. This portion of the Zoning Ordinance was adopted by the City Council in 2017 through Ordinance 1045, and includes provisions to allow for such signage while including operating standards to mitigate potential impacts on nearby residences. This was adopted primarily to provide a simpler option for churches in the City to update message boards that are commonly found in front of churches, enabling the churches to replace manual updating of the letters with an electronic update.
The full text of the previously adopted Ordinance is included as Attachment 2 to this Report, but in summary, existing law indicates that such signs must abide by the Packet Page 180
Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 3
following operating standards:
• Signs must be located so that they do not interfere with visibility or functioning of traffic signals or signage;
• Signs must be at least 50 feet from the nearest residence; • Animated messages shall be limited to fading and dissolving, with no other effect to give the appearance of movement;
• Signs shall not include any audio message;
• Messages shall have a minimum hold time of 30 seconds; • Signs shall not illuminate between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM; • Illumination shall direct light towards the ground and shall not include excessive illumination (as defined in detail in Section 17.40.080.I.7); • Signs shall employ light detectors so that they automatically dim after dusk and before dawn.
This item is being brought forward due to language in Section 17.40.080.I.1 which provides that electronic signs must be located on an arterial or collector street. Local streets, which include the majority of residential streets in the City, are specifically excluded. Staff has received inquiries from a church located on a local street regarding the possibility of replacing an existing backlit message board with an electronic message board. Under the current Ordinance, there is no possible path forward for the consideration of such a sign.
Staff brought this Item to the Planning Commission on May 13, 2026, for feedback regarding potential changes to the Ordinance. Public Comment was received from a member of the church; she described how her church has an existing illuminated message sign with letters that must be changed manually, which she indicated was becoming more challenging due to her age. She wanted to replace the sign with one of the same size so that she could change the message without the need to physically change the lettering. No other public comment was received.
The Planning Commission indicated that, in general, there could be situations where an electronic display message sign could be installed on a local street without significant impacts, but that the review of any such sign on a local street should involve involvement with the immediate neighbors, including public notification and the opportunity to request a public hearing. However, they also recognized that requiring such a process would impose significant fees and preparation of materials such as plans could create barriers to projects that would not otherwise be controversial. In the end, the Planning Commission recommended that, in general, electronic display message signs on local streets should be subject to the Minor Use Permit process (which involves public notification and opportunity for a public hearing), with the caveat that the replacement of existing illuminated signs with electronic message display signs of the same size or smaller and meeting the previously established standards could be Packet Page 181
Item No. 9.A. Page 3 of 3
considered subject only to obtaining a Sign Permit (a staff-level ministerial process).
Staff's recommendation is that the Council adopt the attached Ordinance with the Commission's recommendations. Additionally, staff recommends that the Council consider revising the maximum sign area for electronic message display signs on local residential streets. The current Ordinance allows for double-sided signs up to 24 square feet in sign area (equal to a 4' x 6' or 3' x 8' sign). Staff believes that signs of this size would dominate the streetscape on local residential streets and are unnecessary given the low speed of traffic on such streets, and recommends that the Council adjust the maximum sign area to 18 square feet per sign face on local residential streets.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of this Ordinance would have a negligible financial impact, with very minor increases in fee revenues based on the number of applications received.

17.40.080 Standards for specific sign types
I. Electronic message display signs. The following standards apply to electronic message display signs where allowed by Section 17.40.070 (Zoning District Sign Standards) (see Tables 3- 15 and 3-16):
1. Location.
a. Signs shall be located on a either an arterial roadway or collector street in a manner that the Zoning Administrator determines will not adversely interfere with the visibility or functioning of traffic signals or traffic signage, taking into consideration physical elements of the sign and surrounding area, such as information analyzing physical obstruction issues, line of sight issues, brightness issues, and visual obstruction or impairment issues. No electronic changeable message sign shall be permitted on a local street.
b. Signs must be 50 feet or more from the nearest residence on the same street as the sign.
2. Sign area measurement. The area of an electronic message display sign does not count toward area limits for other signs in Section 17.40.070.
3. Animation. Animated messages shall be limited to fading and dissolving, with no other effect to give the appearance of movement.
4. Audio. No sign shall include any audio message.
5. Duration. Signs messages shall have a minimum hold time of 30 seconds.
6. Timing. The sign will not illuminate from the message display area between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
7. Illumination. Electronic changeable message display signs may be illuminated with continuous internal LED lighting. No sign shall be illuminated so that the primary source of the light is visible beyond the property line or in any way will cause excessive glare or brightness in excess of 0.3 foot candles. The Zoning Administrator reserves the right to require and/or complete a post-installation inspection of the sign illumination. If, as a result of this inspection, it is determined that the illumination is so bright as to adversely impact adjacent properties and uses, the Zoning Administrator may require shielding or a reduction and/or adjustment in the intensity of the sign illumination, so that it is in keeping with the general level of illumination of the surrounding properties. Such intensity restriction may vary by time of day and ambient light Packet Page 186
conditions. Illuminated signs located adjacent to any residential area shall be shielded to direct light downward and away from adjacent properties such that there is no spillover light and shall be controlled by a rheostat or functional equivalent to avoid excessive glare to residential properties.
8. Light detector. No permit for such sign shall be issued unless the sign is installed with an automatic or a scheduled dimming time by which the sign’s light intensity will reduce when ambient light conditions darken. Such dimming feature shall reduce the light intensity from the sign from dusk to dawn to a level that does not impair the visibility on any adjacent roadway, or be directed onto a residential property.
9. Permits Required. In addition to any required Building Permits or other applicable permits, electronic display message signs shall be subject to the following permit processes:
a. An electronic message display sign located on a local street (as designated by the thencurrent General Plan) or alley may be considered subject to approval of a Sign Permit, provided that the electronic display message sign replaces an existing illuminated sign legally established prior to July 1, 2026, occupies the same location as the existing sign, and is no larger than the existing sign.
b. An electronic message display sign located on a street other than a local street or alley may be allowed with a Sign Permit.
c. All other electronic message display signs shall require approval of a Minor Use Permit.

INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE AUTHORIZmG TEXT
AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 17.40 OF THE SEASTOE MUNICIPAL
CODE THAT SETS FORTH STANDARDS FOR ELECTRONIC
MESSAGE DISPLAY SIGNS RELATED TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
MEETING FACILITIES WITHIN RESIDENTIAL AND
COMMERCIAL ZONmG DISTRICTS CFTYWIDE, AND
ADDRESSmG OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY RELATING
THERETO THAT ARE IN CONFLICT WITH THE PROPOSED TEXT
AMENDMENT.
PURPOSE
In accordance with Section 17.74.050 of the Seaside Municipal Code (SMC), the purpose of this item is for the City Council to consider a text amendment to Chapter 17.40 of the Seaside Municipal Code to allow for the installation of electronic changeable message signs at places of worship and meeting facilities in residential and commercial zones (First Reading).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council conduct the first reading of the draft Ordinance and pass to print the final Ordinance for adoption at a second reading on the regular City Council Meeting ofNovember 2, 2017
BACKGROUND
The proposed text amendment has been Initiated by City staff in response to discussions City staff has had with the Pastor Ronald Britt. Pastor Ronald Britt has expressed that the replacement of the existing manual message board with a modern electronic changeable message display at his meeting facility "would enable his meeting facility (Greater Victory Temple) to communicate their messages both safely and In sync with modern social media technologies. A sample of the typical manual reader message boards that are currently being used by the City's private meeting facilities in Seaside is provided as Attachment 2.
Packet Page 193
Meeting Date: October 19, 2017
The Zoning Code Amendment has been initiated by City staff based on the changing dynamics in the technology of electronic messaging and how electronic messaging in combination with the emergence of social media has become an integral form of communication. The use of electronic changeable signs would also provide a visible, safe, and noticeable sign to the motoring public from collector and arterial surface streets.
Planning Commission Review
In accordance with Section 17. 74. 040 of the Seaside Municipal Code, the proposed text amendment has been reviewed by the Planning Commission at its August 23, 2017 meeting and September 27, 2017 meeting.
On August 23, 2017 the Planning Commission opened its discussion pf the Zoning Code Amendment and acted to continue the item to a future meeting with direction to have City staff address the following land use concems/issues that were raised by the Planning Commission:
Provide list of existing private and public meeting facilities located within the city to provide perspective on the overall number and location of public and private meeting facilities; and
Identify the locations of existing private and public meeting facilities that would have a location of the meeting facility site where an electronic message board would maintain at least a minimum distance of 50 feet from an adjoining residential use; and r
4. Provide information on recommended industry standards related to minimum brightness levels for LED type electronic changeable message signs; and Include regulations in the Draft Ordinance to address standards for the measurement of the light source emanating from the sign and requirement to obtain a use permit so that the adjacent property owners would receive notice of a public hearing in order provide comment on any proposed electronic changeable message sign application near their property
On September 27, 2017, the Planning Commission conducted its second review of the proposed text amendments and found that the revisions made by City staff to the text amendments per the direction received from the Planning Commission adequately addressed the Commissions comments listed above. The Commission voted to unanimously recommend the adoption of the Draft Ordinance as revised (See Attachment 1).
Project Description
The proposed text amendment will include the following changes the Sign Code:
1. Modification to Section 17.40.050.B that would add new text to allow the installation of electronic changeable message signs on premises of places of worship and public meeting facilities with the issuance of a Use Permit by the Planning Commission.
2. Modification to Section 17. 40. 060.H. 3 to allow for an electronic changeable message sign to change its message display by fading or dissolving and to allow for the brightness to be adjusted via an automatic light detector/photocell, or a scheduled diming time by Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 4
Packet Page 194
Meeting Date: October 19, 2017
which the signs light intensity will reduce when ambient light conditions darken.
3. Add new Section 17.40.060.1.6 to require a default mechanism that will cause the sign to revert immediately to a black screen if the sign malfunctions.
4. Modification to Table 3-15 (Sign Standards for Residential Zones) adding Electronic Changeable Message Display Signs for Private and Public Meeting Facilities as an allowed sign type.
5. Modification to Table 3-16 (Sign Standards for Commercial and Industrial Zones) adding Electronic Changeable Message Display Signs for Private and Public Meeting Facilities as an allowed sign type.
6. Add new Section 1 7.40. 080. 1 to include development standards for Electronic, LED or Digital Signs.
The text amendments are provided as Exhibit "A" to Attachment 1. The proposed revisions are highlighted in bold and underlined.
The text amendments would allow, with the issuance of a Use Permit, the installation of electronic changeable message signs on the premises of private and public meeting facilities as either a freestanding sign or a wall sign. The text amendments include performance standards to regulate the size, location, duration of sign message being displayed, brightness, and the minimum distance an electronic changeable message sign board must be from a residential dwelling/structure.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The use of an Electronic Sign display would provide an alternative to the existing manual sign displays used by most places of worship in Seaside (See Attachment 2). The use of an electronic changeable message signs would also achieve a modem method to provide an overall project identification of meeting facility programs and services and comply with energy efficient technology. Response to Planning Commission comments raised at the Commission meetings are listed below:
Provide list of places of worship and meeting facilities located within the City. The location of places of worship and meeting facilities has been included as Attachment 3.
Potential locations within the City which could accommodate the placement of an electronic changeable message sign meeting the minimum distance parameter of minimum 50 feet from an adjoining residential use. The location of places of worship which could meet the minimum 50 distance requirement has been included as Attachment 4.
. Provide information on recommended brightness levels of LED type electronic changeable message signs.
The majority of electronic message signs are illuminated with LED's (Light Emitting Diodes). The perceived brightness of an LED sign is dependent on a variety of factors.
Ambient light conditions play the largest role in affecting the brightaess of the display.
An LED sign communicates its messages by emitting light. It therefore must not be too dim, since it couldn't be distinguished during sunlight; nor should it be too bright, as the image will be distorted and difficult to read. The electronic sign must adjust its brightness over the course of the day. Today's electronic signs can dim from 100% Item No. 9.A. Page 3 of 4
Packet Page 195
Meeting Date: October 19, 2017
during a bright sunny day, to around 4% during the darkest night. That means the sign is only 4% as bright at night as during the daytime. During the course of the day, the LED sign boards are equipped that will automatically dim the sign board to ambient light levels to further maintain appropriate brightness levels throughout the day. . Regulations to Control Sign Board Brightness.
It is recommended, based on industry research, that electronic sign boards in an urban environment should be limited to 0. 3 foot-candles above ambient light levels. The 0.3 footcandle limit is supported by research, which found that an eye illuminance limit of 0.3 footcandles in areas of low ambient electric light is a level that is unlikely to be objectionable to most persons. This information complies with the recommended brightness levels for OnPremises Electronic Message Signs, which is a compilation summary prepared for evaluating brightness for electronic message signs. This report has been included as Attachment 5.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 17.52.230 OF THE
SEASIDE MUNICIPAL CODE TO CREATE CONSISTENCY
BETWEEN THE MUNICIPAL CODE AND CALIFORNIA LAW
REGARDING ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. THIS ACTION IS NOT SUBJECT
TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
PURSUANT TO SECTION 21080.17 OF THE PUBLIC RESOURCES
CODE (FIRST READING - ROLL CALL VOTE)
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct first reading and open public hearing.
BACKGROUND
Over the past several years, the State of California has passed a series of laws pertaining to the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs). These laws provide the rules and regulations under which ADUs and JADUs are processed and constructed. These laws are generally updated on an annual basis, taking effect in January of each year.
When reviewing applications for ADUs, staff takes the most recent California rules into consideration. However, staff does periodically update the Zoning Ordinance to maintain consistency with California rules. The rules were last updated in March 2023 to incorporate changes made to California law through 2022 into the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed Ordinance would incorporate additional changes made in 2023 through 2025. These include the following significant changes:
Packet Page 197
Item No. 9.B. Page 2 of 3
• Define that the size of ADUs and JADUs will be based upon the interior living space (ie excluding the exterior walls).
• Clarify that an ADU may not be denied based on an existing nonconforming zoning condition.
• Allow for different types of exempt ADUs to be constructed on the same parcel. • Allow for a maximum of eight detached ADUs at the site of an existing multifamily dwelling. • Provide that uncovered parking stalls that are removed to accommodate an ADU do not need to be replaced.
• Provide language relating to Deed Restrictions for JADUs • Provide updated material regarding timelines for the processing of applications for ADUs and JADUs.
• Establish a new appeal process for determinations of application incompleteness or application denial through the Planning Commission.
Additional material includes minor updates to requirements, language, and references (to adjust for a renumbering of ADU regulations within the California Government Code).
Staff is already processing applications with these provisions in place. However, the adoption of this Ordinance would bring the Municipal Code into compliance with California Law.
Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Ordinance on May 13, 2026 and unanimously (6-0) recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance.
Following adoption of the Ordinance, staff will provide a copy of the Ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as required by law.

Item No.: 9.C.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Andrew Myrick, Housing & Planning Manager
DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 9.12 OF THE SEASIDE
MUNICIPAL CODE TO CLARIFY NOISE ORDINANCE
APPLICABILITY TO PERMITTED USES. THIS ACTION IS NOT
SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
(CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15061(B)(3) OF THE CEQA
GUIDELINES (FIRST READING - ROLL CALL VOTE)
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct first reading and open public hearing.
BACKGROUND
The CIty of Seaside has an interest in ensuring that residents' quality of life is not unduly impacted by excessive noise, while also allowing for normal levels of noise typically found in a suburban environment. The City of Seaside's Municipal Code addresses concerns related to noise in two locations. The first of these is located within Section 17.30.060 of the Seaside Zoning Ordinance. This Section implements the Noise Element of the City of Seaside's General Plan, and includes specific, quantitative measures (in decibels) of what constitutes excessive noise within the City's various Zoning Districts.
The second of these is Chapter 9.12 within the City's Public Peace, Morals, and Welfare Title, and is more focused on qualitative characteristics related to noise impacts.
Specifically, it relates to noises that are "excessive, unnecessary or unusually loud," a term which is defined in that Chapter as referring to "a noise disturbance which, because of its volume level, duration or character annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of any individual within the limits of the city."
Packet Page 216
Item No. 9.C. Page 2 of 3
As an example of how the City would evaluate noise complaints under the two provisions of the Municipal Code, if someone were to play a recording of "nails on a chalkboard," under Section 17.30.060 the noise would be evaluated based on features such as volume, location, and time of day, while under Chapter 9.12 the characteristics of the sound would be evaluated based on criteria identified in that Chapter (such as citizen complaints, proximity to residential sleeping facilities, the nature and zoning of the area, etc).
Section 9.12.040 of Chapter 9.12 includes exemptions which indicate that certain noises do not constitute "excessive, unnecessary or unusually loud noise." Examples of this include cries for assistance, emergency sirens, and religious worship activities. This includes an exemption for parades and other special events which have obtained permits. However, it does not include permitted uses which are producing noises normally associated with such as use.
The proposed amendment would amend Section 9.12.040 to add an additional exemption to clarify that noises normally expected to be emitted as part of a permitted use are not "excessive, unnecessary or unusually loud" noises. This does not prevent the City from enforcing violations of Section 17.30.060 if the volume of noise exceeds the amount specified therein. However, it would establish that normal operational noises are not by their nature "excessive, unnecessary or unusually loud." Staff is also examining Section 17.30.060 as part of its Zoning Ordinance Update to ensure that Section is in compliance with the General Plan. Changes to that Ordinance will be brought to the Council by staff at a later date.

Item No.: 10.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TRAFFIC ADVISORY
COMMITTEE (TAC) RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE
CHANGING CONTRA COSTA TO ONE WAY SOUTHBOUND AND
APPROVE BY RESOLUTION TO ADD CONTRA COSTA TO ONEWAY SOUTHBOUND STREET LIST IN SMC.10.30.010.B
RECOMMENDATION
Approve change to street list.
BACKGROUND
The Traffic Advisory Committee (TAC) reviewed and provided a recommendation regarding a proposed circulation change for Contra Costa Street at its regular meeting on March 17, 2026. The recommendation approved by TAC is summarized below.
A similar proposal was previously presented to TAC at the November 18, 2025 meeting.
That proposal included converting Contra Costa Street to a one-way roadway from Broadway Avenue to the alleyway south of Broadway and restriping the adjacent parking lot. The current proposal narrows the scope to only consider converting Contra Costa Street to a one-way southbound roadway and extends the limits to include Broadway Avenue to Palm Avenue.
In 2022, the City retained DKS Consultants to evaluate parking conditions and future parking needs within the West Broadway area. The resulting West Broadway Parking Study evaluated existing parking supply, occupancy patterns, and the adequacy of parking inventory to accommodate anticipated future growth within the Specific Plan area. The study also identified opportunities to increase parking supply through restriping existing facilities, reconfiguring on-street parking, utilizing City-owned parcels, Packet Page 224
Item No. 10.A. Page 2 of 3
and developing future structured parking facilities.
The study area generally extends from Elm Avenue to Olympia Avenue (north-south) and from Fremont Boulevard to Del Monte Boulevard (east-west). The study identified approximately 512 marked and unmarked parking spaces, including unrestricted parking, time-limited parking, ADA-accessible parking, and loading zones.
Approximately 70 percent of the parking supply is unrestricted, while approximately 30 percent is subject to two-hour parking limits. The study concluded that the existing parking supply is generally adequate under current conditions; however, localized parking shortages occur near certain businesses and activity centers. The study further concluded that additional public parking capacity will be necessary to support future development, special events, and full buildout of the West Broadway Specific Plan area.
Among the short-term recommendations identified in the study were:
Restriping the existing parking lot south of Broadway Avenue and Del Monte Boulevard; Installing angled parking on Contra Costa Street with one-way southbound traffic operations;
Installing angled parking on Hillsdale Street with one-way northbound traffic operations; and
Utilizing City-owned parcels for interim public parking.
The study specifically recommended installing angled parking on Contra Costa Street between Broadway Avenue and Palm Avenue in conjunction with southbound one-way operations to increase near-term parking supply. The study estimated that approximately 21 parking spaces could potentially be provided under this configuration.
However, the study did not include detailed striping exhibits or layouts demonstrating how the additional parking supply would be achieved. Subsequent staff review and field analysis were unable to replicate the study’s estimated parking yield. Staff attempted to reach out to DKS to speak to the engineers that created the report, but they were no longer with the company.
Staff conducted an independent analysis of the Contra Costa Street corridor between Broadway Avenue and Palm Avenue. The corridor serves several adjacent land uses, including Deja Blue Restaurant, a multifamily residential complex, a City-owned parking lot, a single-family residence, and Acme Coffee. An alleyway located within the corridor also provides additional vehicular access to residential parking and Palm Ave.
Currently, the corridor contains approximately 12 on-street parking spaces. Staff determined that conversion of Contra Costa Street to one-way southbound traffic operations with diagonal parking would continue to provide approximately 12 parking spaces. Under the evaluated configuration, diagonal parking would be installed along the east side of the roadway, while the west side would be red-curbed to prohibit parking.
Staff also reviewed recent collision history within the corridor. Two reported incidents Packet Page 225

have occurred within the last two years, including a hit-and-run collision involving a parked vehicle, and a collision involving two police vehicles, both at Contra Costa Street and Palm Avenue.
Following discussion of the proposal and staff analysis, TAC recommended approval of converting Contra Costa Street to one-way southbound traffic operations between Broadway Avenue and Palm Avenue.
Adoption of the proposed resolution is required to formally designate Contra Costa Street as a one-way southbound roadway between Broadway Avenue and Palm Avenue and to amend the City’s official one-way street list contained in SMC 10.30.010.B.
Approval of the resolution would codify the traffic regulation within the Municipal Code and authorize implementation of the associated roadway signage and traffic control modifications. The change in traffic operations will not take effect until a minimum 10- day notice has been provided to adjacent residents and businesses and all required traffic control devices, signage, and pavement markings have been installed.
FISCAL IMPACT
The city will have to pay approximately $9,950.00 for the installation of striping and signage.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 10.B.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Assistant City Manager
DATE: June 4, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMMUNITY SOCIAL
SERVICES GRANT PROGRAM POLICY
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the Community Social Servcies Grant Program Policy.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside established the Community Social Services (CSS) Grant Program in Fiscal Year 2020–2021 to support nonprofit, community-based, faith-based, and fiscally sponsored organizations that provide programs and services benefiting Seaside residents.
Since its inception, the CSS Grant Program has awarded approximately $2.5 million through 43 grants supporting a broad range of community services, including youth development, education, recreation, public health, mental health, senior services, homelessness prevention, and community-building initiatives.
Over time, the program has evolved through several funding approaches. Early grant cycles utilized a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process with application scoring, committee review, and City Council approval. More recent cycles included direct Council allocations and simplified application processes. As the program has matured, City Council has expressed interest in establishing a clear and consistent framework to guide future grant funding decisions while maintaining flexibility to address emerging community needs.
At its January 15, 2026 meeting, the City Council discussed the history and future direction of the Community Social Services Grant Program and provided policy direction Packet Page 232
Item No. 10.B. Page 2 of 3
regarding transparency, evaluation criteria, accountability measures, and funding priorities, including the direction to narrow the program scope toward youth-serving activities.
The proposed Community Social Services Grant Program Policy establishes a formal framework for administration of the City's grant program while allowing City Council to establish annual priorities through future funding cycles and more clearly focusing eligible funding on programs and services primarily benefiting Seaside children, adolescents, and transitional-age youth age 24 and younger.
The policy:
• Defines eligible applicants, including nonprofit, community-based, faith-based, and fiscally sponsored organizations serving Seaside residents, with priority given to programs serving Seaside youth age 24 and younger.
• Narrows eligible program areas to prioritize youth-serving activities, including education, tutoring, mentoring, recreation, workforce readiness, mental and behavorial health, violence prevention, intervention, basic needs, housing stability, civic engagement, and leadership development. • Establishes allowable and ineligible expenditures.
• Requires a minimum 10% cash or in-kind match from applicants. • Provides for annual or periodic issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP). • Establishes a formal application review and scoring process conducted by City staff based on criteria adopted for each funding cycle. • Maintains City Council authority over final grant funding decisions. • Establishes reporting and accountability requirements for funded organizations, including youth-focues outcome reporting.
• Establishes a requirement that organizations who receive funding participate in monthly Blue Ribbon Task Force meetings.
• Provides flexibility for City Council to establish funding limits, award caps, and program priorities through future budget and grant cycles.
In addition, staff conducted a public survey regarding future Community Social Services Grant Program priorities. Survey responses indicated strong support for increased transparency, published evaluation criteria, measurable outcomes, annual reporting requirements, and a structured grant review process. Respondents identified youth workforce development, after-school programs, mental health services, violence prevention, and educational support as important funding priorities.
The proposed policy incorporates these youth-focused community priorities while preserving City Council's ability to establish annual funding priorities and program objectives.
Approval of the policy will provide greater consistency, transparency, and accountability Packet Page 233
Item No. 10.B. Page 3 of 3
for future Community Social Services Grant funding cycles and create a predictable framework for both applicants and the City while aligning the program with Council's direction to prioritize youth-serving activities.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of the proposed policy.
Funding for future Community Social Services Grant awards will continue to be determined by City Council through the annual budget process or subsequent Council action. Adoption of the policy does not commit the City to any specific funding level.
