SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING SEPTEMBER 21 TO SEPTEMBER 25, 2026, AS STORMWATER AWARENESS WEEK IN

THE CITY OF SEASIDE

RECOMMENDATION
Approve proclamation.

BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside operates a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) regulated under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly known as the Clean Water Act. Because storm drains flow directly to local waterways, only rain should enter the storm drain system to help protect water quality and natural ecosystems.

City staff serve on the front lines of water-quality protection. In preparation for the upcoming rainy season, staff will receive training on best management practices as part of Stormwater Awareness Week, held September 21 through September 25, 2026. The City also participates in the Monterey Regional Stormwater Management Program, a nearly 20-year regional collaboration focused on meeting Clean Water Act requirements consistently and cost-effectively.

The proposed proclamation designates September 21 through September 25, 2026, as Stormwater Awareness Week in the City of Seaside and encourages greater awareness of practices that protect local waterways and water quality.

Item No.: 8.I.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Andreas Baer, Assistant Public Works Director
Kirstin van Gend, Administrative Analyst II
Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
DATE: September 3, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR UP TO $500,000.00 IN CALRECYCLE GRANT FUNDING FOR
CLEANUP AND ILLEGAL DUMPING PREVENTION AT 100

GIGLING ROAD

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize submission of grant application.

BACKGROUND
The Public Works Engineering Division would like to submit a grant application to the Solid Waste Disposal and Codisposal Site Cleanup Grant Program, administered by CalRecycle. The Solid Waste Disposal and Codisposal Site Cleanup Grant Program provides funds to clean up solid waste sites where cleanup is needed to protect public health and safety and/or the environment. Funding from this grant would assist in the solid waste site cleanup and installation of prevention measures at 100 Gigling Road.

The maximum amount that can be requested for a project is $500,000.00. There is no local match required.

The project site at 100 Gigling is a former Fort Ord parcel commonly referred to as the "Hammerheads" due to the abandoned barracks on the property that appear to be shaped like a hammers when looked at from an ariel photo. The City's Capital Improvement Program includes demolition of the buildings and soil remediation.

However, the project has been delayed due to lack of funding. This site is a hot spot for illegal dumping and trespassing.

Packet Page 74

Item No. 8.I. Page 2 of 3
Grant funds would allow for a one-time cleanup of all illegal solid waste dumping on the property and installation of fencing to prevent trespassing and further illegal dumping.

This would secure the site until further funding is available to demolish the buildings and remediate the soil. The removal, abatement, and cleanup or otherwise handling of hazardous substances as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 [42 U.S.C. section 9601(14)] are not included in this grant.

The City Administrative Policy/Grant Management Policy and Procedures says that grant applications equal to or in excess of $10,000.00 are required to be approved by the City Council, per City of Seaside policy. The policy requires that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the filing of the application, certifying the project is consistent with the General Plan City goals and objectives, certifying the applicant has sufficient funds available to operate and maintain the project, and appointing the City Manager as agent for the project. Solid waste cleanup and prevention measures at 100 Gigling are consistent with the current General Plan Goal HSC-4: Neighborhoods that enhance the safety and welfare of all residents, employers, and tourists in the City of Seaside.

Preparation of the application is in process and will be required to be submitted online to CalRecycle by September 16, 2026.

Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution approving the application for grant funds from the Clean California Local Grant.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff will request the maximum amount of $500,000.00 for cleanup contractors and fencing. The grant program is a reimbursement grant with 10% payment withheld until project completion.

CITY OF SEASIDE

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.J.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Assistant City Manager
DATE: September 3, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING CITY HALL, OLDEMEYER

COMMUNITY CENTER, AND PATTULLO SWIM CENTER AND

THEIR ASSOCIATED GROUNDS AS RECREATIONAL AREAS

RECOMMENDATION
Approve designation of City Hall, Oldemeyer Center, and the Pattullo Swim Center and their associated grounds as recreational areas.

BACKGROUND
In 2023, the State Legislature adopted AB 1572 which requires public water systems to prohibit the use of potable (drinking) water for irrigation of “nonfunctional turf” at certain property types statewide. It is primarily implemented through Water Code section 10608.14 which requires local governments to stop using potable water on turf unless it is functional turf. “Functional turf” is defined as turf used for recreational purposes or as a community space, such as an area used for civic or community events, sports, play, picnics, or similar active public use. Water Code section 10608.14 provides that Cities must implement the water restrictions by January 1, 2027. The statutory distinction is use-based, not based merely on the turf’s location or whether the agency labels the site a “park.”
City Hall, Oldemeyer Community Center, and Pattullo Swim Center, together with their associated grounds, serve important public functions beyond the primary governmental and facility uses of the buildings. These properties include publicly accessible landscaped areas and open spaces that support community gatherings, civic activities, recreation programs, special events, passive recreation, and other public purposes.

Packet Page 79

Item No. 8.J. Page 2 of 3
Formal designation of these facilities and their associated grounds as recreational areas recognizes their existing and potential public uses and provides clarity regarding the City's management and maintenance of these properties. The designation also supports the City's water conservation and sustainability objectives by recognizing landscape irrigation as a non-potable use for which recycled water or other legally approved nonpotable water may be appropriate.

State recycled-water regulations also provide for the use of appropriately treated recycled water for irrigation of parks, playgrounds, and other publicly accessible landscaped areas. Because the grounds associated with City Hall, Oldemeyer Community Center, and Pattullo Swim Center are accessible to the public, any future use of recycled water would be required to meet the treatment and operational standards applicable to the particular use and level of potential public exposure.

Adoption of the proposed Resolution would designate City Hall, Oldemeyer Community Center, Pattullo Swim Center, and their associated grounds as recreational areas for purposes consistent with the City's management of these properties and its water conservation objectives. The designation itself would not require the City to immediately convert existing irrigation systems from potable water to recycled or non-potable water.

Under Water Code Section 13550, several conditions must be satisfied before recycled water is considered available for a particular use. Among other requirements, recycled water must be of adequate quality for the proposed use, reasonably available and priced, protective of public health, and consistent with applicable water-quality and water-right requirements.

Accordingly, the proposed Resolution would not independently authorize the use of untreated or otherwise unsuitable non-potable water. Any future use of recycled or other approved non-potable water for irrigation at the designated properties would remain subject to applicable State Water Resources Control Board regulations, California Code of Regulations requirements, local water supplier requirements, crossconnection controls, signage requirements, and other applicable health and safety standards.

Formal designation of City Hall, Oldemeyer Community Center, Pattullo Swim Center, and their associated grounds as recreational areas therefore recognizes the public and recreational functions of these properties while providing a policy basis for the City to evaluate and pursue appropriate water sources for landscape irrigation consistent with State law, public health requirements, and local water-supply conditions.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for this resolution.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING CITY HALL AND ITS GROUNDS

WHEREAS, the City Council desires to formally recognize City Hall, Oldemeyer Community Center, Pattullo Swim Center, and their associated grounds as recreational areas for purposes of the City's management, maintenance, irrigation, conservation, and public use of the properties; and
WHEREAS, California Water Code section 10608.14 states that the use of potable water for the irrigation of non-functional turf is prohibited and that all properties owned by local governments must comply beginning January 1, 2027; and WHEREAS, California Water Code Section 13550 establishes the policy of the State of California concerning the use of potable domestic water for non-potable purposes, including parks and irrigation uses, when recycled water meeting the requirements of that section is available; and
WHEREAS, California Water Code Section 13551 provides that public agencies, including cities, shall not use water suitable for potable domestic use for specified nonpotable purposes, including parks and irrigation uses, when suitable recycled water is available as provided in Water Code Section 13550; and
WHEREAS, the Water Recycling in Landscaping Act, commencing with Government Code Section 65601, recognizes the State's interest in promoting efficient water use and the development and use of recycled water for appropriate landscape purposes; and
WHEREAS, the City Council supports the conservation of potable water supplies and the appropriate use of recycled or other legally approved non-potable water for landscape irrigation when such water is available, suitable, economically reasonable, technically feasible, and compliant with applicable public health and water-quality requirements; and
Packet Page 82

WHEREAS, designation of City Hall, Oldemeyer Community Center, Pattullo Swim Center, and their associated grounds as recreational areas does not independently authorize the use of recycled or non-potable water that does not satisfy applicable State and local requirements, and any such water use shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, permits, health and safety standards, and requirements of the City's water supplier.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Seaside as follows:

SECTION 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. The City Council hereby designates City Hall, Oldemeyer Community Center, Pattullo Swim Center, and their associated grounds, including landscaped areas and publicly accessible open spaces associated with these facilities, as recreational areas for purposes of City management, maintenance, irrigation, conservation, civic and community activities, recreation, and public use.

SECTION 3. The City supports the use of recycled or other legally approved non-potable water for landscape irrigation at City Hall, Oldemeyer Community Center, Pattullo Swim Center, and their associated grounds when such water is determined to be available and appropriate in accordance with California Water Code Section 13550 and all other applicable laws and regulations.

SECTION 4. Nothing in this Resolution shall be construed as authorizing the use of recycled or non-potable water that does not meet applicable State Water Resources Control Board requirements, California Code of Regulations requirements, public health standards, water-quality requirements, or requirements imposed by the City's water supplier.

SECTION 5. City staff is authorized to take such administrative actions as may be reasonably necessary to implement this Resolution and to coordinate with applicable water suppliers and regulatory agencies regarding the appropriate use of potable, recycled, or other approved non-potable water for landscape irrigation at the designated facilities and their associated grounds.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 9.A.

TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Laura Calata, Administrative Analyst
DATE: September 3, 2026
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS UPDATE

AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF, AS APPROPRIATE

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a presentation on the City’s economic development activities and accomplishments through August 2026, discuss the update, and provide direction to staff, as appropriate.

BACKGROUND
The City’s economic development efforts support a strong and resilient local economy by assisting existing businesses, attracting new businesses and private investment, advancing development opportunities, and improving City processes. Staff collaborates with business owners, developers, property owners, regional partners, the Commission on Jobs, Opportunities and Businesses in Seaside (C-JOBS), and the City’s retail consultant, Retail Strategies, to encourage business growth, job creation, and long-term economic vitality.

During 2026, staff priorities have included strengthening relationships with local businesses and property owners, addressing commercial vacancies, promoting available properties, improving the City’s business licensing and permitting processes, and expanding opportunities for investment in Seaside. Staff has also supported C-JOBS, maintained regular communication with Auto Mall partners, participated in regional retail recruitment activities, conducted individual business visits, and coordinated ribbon-cutting ceremonies recognizing new and expanding businesses.

Packet Page 85

Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 4

DISCUSSION
During the reporting period, staff conducted more than 200 business visits, held 10 Seaside at Your Fingertips meetings, connected four property owners with Retail Strategies, and coordinated three ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Staff also facilitated four C-JOBS meetings, introduced the five-year Economic Development Action Plan to CJOBS for review, recognized six Business of the Month recipients, and nominated two census tracts for Opportunity Zones 2.0. These activities reflect the City’s continued focus on supporting local businesses, strengthening community and stakeholder relationships, recognizing business contributions, and attracting new investment.

In February, the City Council received a report identifying commercial vacancies throughout Seaside. Since that presentation, staff has focused on helping fill vacant commercial spaces by strengthening relationships with property owners, connecting property owners with Retail Strategies, and sharing information about available properties with prospective businesses and retailers. Staff also attended ICSC Monterey to establish connections with retailers and promote Seaside as a location for future investment.

The City launched a new business license system in early August to provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for business owners. The City is also preparing to select a new permitting-system vendor. The new system is expected to improve coordination among departments, provide greater visibility into application status, and create a more efficient and consistent permitting process for businesses and development projects.

Through the Seaside at Your Fingertips program, staff met individually with business owners to provide information about customer demographics, prospective customers, competitors, and broader market conditions. This information helps business owners make more informed decisions related to marketing, customer outreach, and future growth.

Staff nominated two eligible census tracts for designation under Opportunity Zones 2.0.

This effort included outreach to regional partners, developers, and businesses that provided letters of support. The nominations reflect a collaborative effort to position Seaside for future economic development opportunities and increased private investment.

Business and stakeholder engagement remained a priority. Staff’s initial and follow-up business visits helped strengthen relationships, share information about available Packet Page 86

Item No. 9.A. Page 3 of 4
resources, and maintain ongoing communication with Seaside’s business community.

Staff also held two quarterly meetings with Auto Mall partners to discuss matters affecting the district and maintain direct communication with dealership representatives.

The reestablished C-JOBS assumed responsibility for reviewing nominations and selecting Business of the Month recipients. Presented in collaboration with Monterey Bay FC, the program recognizes the contributions of local businesses, increases their visibility, and provides residents with an opportunity to celebrate Seaside’s business community.

Staff also introduced a draft five-year Economic Development Action Plan to C-JOBS.

The Commission is currently reviewing the draft and providing feedback on proposed priorities, strategies, and actions intended to guide the City’s economic development efforts over the five-year planning period. Following completion of the Commission’s review, staff will incorporate relevant feedback and present the draft Action Plan to the City Council for consideration and direction.

While advancing this longer-term planning effort, staff continued its ongoing business outreach and recognition activities. Staff coordinated ribbon-cutting ceremonies celebrating business openings, expansions, and other milestones. In partnership with the City’s Communications team, staff also promoted workshops and other business resources through the City newsletter and social media platforms.

Moving forward, staff will continue supporting existing businesses, cultivating relationships with property owners and prospective retailers, pursuing opportunities to fill commercial vacancies, and attracting private investment. Staff will also continue business visits, the Seaside at Your Fingertips program, support for C-JOBS, coordination with Auto Mall partners, and promotion of resources that help Seaside businesses grow and succeed.
