STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works Department, Luis Carrillo, Deputy Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Enter Into an Agreement, with National Auto Fleet Group, utilizing Sourcewell, Contract No. 081325-NAF, for the Purchase of Vehicle for the Fire Department
BACKGROUND:

The City’s vehicle fleet, administered by the Public Works Department, is composed of approximately twenty units, including passenger vehicles and light- and medium-duty trucks. This fleet is essential to maintain effective service levels across multiple departments, including the Solana Beach Fire Department, Public Works, Community Development, and various administrative divisions.

As noted in previous items presented to Council, in June of 2025, the City of Encinitas Council authorized their City Manager to withdraw from the existing Cooperative Management Agreement for Fire management personnel and services between the cities of Encinitas, Del Mar, and Solana Beach, by March 31, 2026. Since that time, the cities of Solana Beach and Del Mar have been working together under a cost-sharing agreement to recruit necessary management, including a Fire Chief, Fire Marshal, Battalion Chief and various supervisory and administrative staff, as well as procurement of office equipment, technology and operations contracts, and fleet vehicles, to ensure a smooth transition after March 31st.

This item is presented for City Council consideration of Resolution 2026-045 (Attachment 1), authorizing the purchase of a new pickup truck for the Solana Beach Fire Department.

DISCUSSION:

The Solana Beach Fire Department, in coordination with the City of Del Mar, is adding key permanent leadership positions, Fire Chief, Fire Marshal and Battalion Chief, as part of the transition from the Cooperative Management Agreement with Encinitas. These positions are critical to meet the needs of the cities of Solana Beach and Del Mar for fire prevention and emergency response services within the two cities. The cities have approved the City Item J.3
May 6, 2026
Fire Department - New Vehicle Purchase Fire Battalion Chief 2 of 4
Managers to enter into a cost-sharing agreement as an interim step until further review and analysis can be completed by the two cities for the long-term organizational structure.

The acquisition and provision of fleet vehicles for the departments is divided between the two cities to ensure cost-sharing of vehicles associated with the shared personnel. Under this cost-sharing, the City of Solana Beach will be purchasing the Fire Chief (previously approved by Council Reso. 2026-03) and one Battalion Chief vehicle, and the City of Del Mar will be purchasing a vehicle for the Fire Marshal and one for a second Battalion Chief.

The fleet vehicles are necessary to provide reliable transportation capable of supporting emergency response, field inspections, incident command activities, and transport of personnel and specialized safety equipment.

Command vehicles are critical to allow Fire leadership to respond rapidly and maintain operational readiness. Vehicles will be the same make, model, color and upfitting to ensure consistency between the two departments and the shared management staff.

Fleet Purchases
On March 25, 2026 (Resolution 2026-03) City Council approved the purchase of vehicles for the Fire Chief and a utility vehicle for Solana Beach Fire Department staff. Staff is requesting approval for an additional vehicle for the Battalion Chief. The vehicle model is consistent with other purchases to streamline maintenance, ensure parts compatibility, and maintain continuity within the fleet.

The vehicle will be upfitted based on operational function and will include a specialized command setup and lighting for onsite incident management, communication systems, storage solutions, and equipment racks. These enhancements are essential to ensure operational readiness, maintain reliable field communications, and provide clear vehicle identification for emergency response. Vehicle communications systems will be the same as in the City of Del Mar for consistent and reliable communication.

Staff recommends purchasing the pickup equipped with a traditional gasoline engine. After evaluating operational requirements and facility upgrades necessary for electric vehicle charging, projected duty cycles and strike team needs, and long-term maintenance considerations, staff determined that the gasoline configuration provides several advantages over an all-electric model.

This purchase will improve the reliability of the Fire Department’s fleet, ensure that leadership positions are properly equipped, and support the City’s continued commitment to safe, efficient, and effective emergency service delivery.

Item J.3
May 6, 2026
Fire Department - New Vehicle Purchase Fire Battalion Chief 3 of 4
Municipal Fleet Regulatory Compliance
While the proposed vehicle acquisition does not satisfy the City’s current Climate Action Plan requirement that 50 percent of new fleet purchases consist of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), staff anticipate that future vehicle replacements within the City, where operationally feasible, will transition to fully electric platforms. This forward-looking approach will allow the City to maintain compliance with the City climate goals.

In evaluating compliance considerations, staff also reviewed applicable state regulatory frameworks. The emergency response vehicle proposed for acquisition are exempt from the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation pursuant to the California Vehicle Code. This exemption recognizes the critical need for fire apparatus and emergency response vehicles to remain fully operational, rapidly deployable, and equipped with powertrains that can reliably support sustained emergency operations. As a result, the proposed purchases maintain full regulatory compliance with state climate goals while ensuring that the Fire Department retains vehicles capable of meeting mission-critical performance standards and reliability.

Purchasing Methods
The City’s purchasing ordinance, Section 3.08.130(C) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, authorizes “public agencies” to participate in cooperative purchasing agreements.

The City participates in several cooperative purchasing organizations, including Sourcewell, formally known as National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA). These organizations establish and provide nationwide competitively solicited purchasing contracts for use by participating public agencies.

To ensure efficiency and obtain the most favorable pricing by May 1, 2026, City staff recommends entering into an agreement with National Auto Fleet Group utilizing Sourcewell, Contract No. 081325-NAF.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are available in Fire Department, Vehicles account number 1006120.66500 ($95,000) and Asset Replacement, Fire Department, Vehicles account number 1356120.66500 ($61,024.22) funds to cover this purchase, therefore, no budget amendments are requested. The purchase price of $151,024.22 includes base vehicle acquisition, upfits, and installation of emergency communication radios. In addition, staff is requesting an additional $5,000 for vehicle graphics, for a total of $156,024.22. These enhancements are essential to ensure operational readiness and provide clear vehicle identification for emergency response, and are consistent with the specifications and cost Item J.3
May 6, 2026
Fire Department - New Vehicle Purchase Fire Battalion Chief 4 of 4
of the Battalion Chief vehicle authorized for purchase by the Del Mar City Council. Graphics procurements will be in full compliance with the City’s established purchasing policies and procedures.

WORK PLAN:

While the City adopted Work Plan does not specifically call out the transition from the existing Cooperative Management Agreement for Fire management personnel and services between the cities of Encinitas, Del Mar, and Solana Beach, to the two-city organization, the reorganization and cost-sharing of the personnel and equipment, including fleet vehicles would be consistent with the priorities of Healthy and Livable Communities, under the Youth, Senior, and Community Well-Being policy.

OPTIONS:
 Approve staff recommendation.
 Deny Staff recommendation and provide direction.

CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution 2026-045:
a. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with National Auto Fleet Group utilizing Sourcewell Contract No. 081325-NAF for the purchase of a model year 2026 Ford F-250, Crew Cab pickups for $151,024.22. b. Approve $5,000 to fund associated vehicle graphics.
c. Authorizing the City Treasurer to amend the FY 2025/2026 Adopted Budget accordingly.

However, the City has two significant projects (Solana Highlands and Ocean Ranch Estates) underway that Interwest has already completed plan check for and is currently completing building inspection services upon. It is anticipated that these two projects will take approximately 6-9 months to complete construction, and changing the inspector and getting new inspection personnel up to speed may cause delays. Therefore, extending the PSA with Interwest would maintain continuity of service and facilitate seamless transition.

Inspection fees are paid by the developer(s) at the time of issuance. Pursuant to the existing PSA the City has already paid Interwest to complete inspections services for these projects. Therefore, this PSA time extension would not require any additional funds to be budgeted for as a result of this time extension.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

This is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

FISCAL IMPACT:

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department – John Delmer, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Introduce (1st Reading) Ordinance 542 – Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Update
BACKGROUND:

This item is before the Council to consider introduction of Ordinance 542 updating the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit regulations and standards to be consistent with State Law.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Solana Beach has implemented programs and procedures to promote and create Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) throughout the City. These efforts have resulted in a nearly 30% higher number of ADUs than anticipated by California Housing and Community Development (HCD) during the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element. However, the State of California Legislature continues to adopt new legislation that requires local agencies to adopt and implement policies that are consistent with State legislation. Staff has prepared Ordinance 542 for City Council consideration in an effort to implement the following State legislation: SB 13 (2019), SB 897 (2022), AB 68 (2019), AB 345 (2021), AB 881 (2019), AB 2221 (2022), AB 3182 (2020), AB 976 (2023), SB 477 (2024), AB 130 (2025), AB 462 (2025), AB 1154 (2026), SB 9 (2026), and SB 543 (2026).

The proposed regulations and standards are intended to be consistent with State Law and are intended to further incentivize and promote ADU development that can offer affordable rents for all household income levels. These proposed amendments are also consistent with and implement a portion of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Program 1B. ADU development assists the City in satisfying a portion of the housing units allocated to the City through the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and are consistent with the policies and programs of the City’s General Plan and certified Land Use Plan of the City’s Local Coastal Plan.

The following is a summary of the changes that are being proposed as part of Ordinance 542:

Item K.1
May 6, 2026
Ordinance 542 – ADU Ordinance Update

Page 2 of 3 ends

• Moves ADU provisions out of Chapter 17.20 Residential Zones to Chapter 17.60 Special Regulations
• Clarifies that ADUs are permitted ministerially pursuant to adopted development standards
• Clarifies that ADUs may be permitted on properties with existing or proposed multifamily dwellings • Adds language that further clarifies that setback limits cannot preclude at least an eight hundred (800) square foot detached or attached accessory dwelling • Clarifies that if a JADU shares sanitation facilities that one of the dwellings on the lot must be the bona fide principal residence of at least one legal owner of the lot • Clarifies fire sprinkler requirements for the ADU do not trigger fire sprinklers for the primary dwelling(s)
• Clarifies that impact fees may not be imposed on ADUs that are 750 square feet or less
• Clarifies that one JADU, one ADU within the existing space of a single-family dwelling and one detached ADU may be permitted on a lot • Cleans up references to State Law provisions
These proposed changes address the City’s ADU provision deficiencies relevant to current State Law and will be forwarded to HCD for review upon adoption by City Council.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

This project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because the proposed Zoning Code updates are covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
WORK PLAN: N/A
OPTIONS:
• Approve staff recommendation.

CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider introduction of Ordinance 542 (1st Reading) amending the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit regulations.

Receipt of such incentives shall require the owner to:
a. Rent the accessory dwelling unit to a low income household, as defined annually by the State Department of Housing and Community Development at a rate that shall not exceed an amount which is equal to thirty (30) percent of the gross monthly income of a low-income household, at eighty (80) percent of the San Diego County median income, adjusted for household size. b. File an annual agreement with the city’s community development department documenting the household’s eligibility to occupy the accessory unit. c.

d. Assign the covenant using a form of assignment and assumption approved by the director of community development in the director’s reasonable direction in the event that the property is transferred or sold.

Section 3. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code relating to the construction of second units, which exempts the adoption of an ordinance by a city to implement the provisions of Government Code Sections 66314 et seq. and 66333 et seq. The City Council further finds that the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts minor alterations in land use limitations that will not result in any changes in land use or density. The Ordinance updates the provisions of the City’s Municipal Code to conform with state law requirement relating to development of ADUs and Junior ADUs, and it does not change permitted land uses on any property nor increase the density of residential uses that property owners are permitted to develop on their property. Further, none of the exceptions to the Section 15305 exemption included in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines are applicable. Therefore, adoption of the Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of CEQA.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department - Joseph Lim, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of Outdoor Dining License Rate (Resolution 2026-044) and Introduce (1st Reading) Ordinance 543 -
Outdoor Dining Ordinance Update
BACKGROUND:

This item is before the Council to consider adoption of a licensing fee for use of public spaces for outdoor dining uses (Resolution 2026-044) and consider introduction of Ordinance 543 to clarify what overhead structures would be allowed when use of public space is requested for outdoor dining.

DISCUSSION:

On January 4, 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance 533 which updated the City’s Sidewalk Café and Outdoor Dining regulations. At that meeting, City Council directed Staff bring back a resolution for City Council to consider a licensing fee for the use of public spaces for outdoor dining activities. Staff also identified that the regulations did not clearly reflect the intent of Ordinance 533 to allow canopies and umbrellas in outdoor dining areas within public spaces, while prohibiting permanent shade structures in those areas.

License Fee for Use of Public Space
Outdoor dining has become a defining feature of many California communities, enhancing walkability, tourism appeal, and local business vitality. However, these programs frequently utilize high-value public spaces such as public and private sidewalks, street parking and public parking areas while also introducing ongoing administrative, environmental, maintenance and infrastructure costs.

Coastal communities such as the City of Solana Beach face unique conditions that shape outdoor dining. Sidewalks and parking near the beach are in exceptionally high demand which requires a careful balance of private use and public benefit. Many of our local eating establishments have found expanded outdoor dining as a great amenity that contributes to an enhanced visitor experience resulting in increases in local sales and revenue.

Outdoor Dining License Fee and Ordinance Update

Page 2 of 4 ends

Implementation of an outdoor dining license fee that reflects the premium nature of coastal public space while protecting small businesses and maintaining public access is a delicate balance. A fee may ensure that private use reflects the high public value of these spaces while recovering costs for infrastructure degradation and code compliance.

Staff prepared information about different fee structure options used in other coastal communities, each of which are based on a per-square-foot basis. The City of San Diego was a bit unique in that there were locational tiers based on the the City of San Diego Climate Equity Index mapped areas where the outdoor dining use is proposed. The following fees are on a per-square-foot per year basis:

City of Del Mar - $21.42 (parking space rate)
City of Encinitas - $30.96
City of San Diego - $12.56 (low); $25.12 (moderate); $37.68 (high) This information was shared with the City Council subcommittee where staff and the two subcommittee members discussed what the appropriate rate should be in Solana Beach.

It was also noted that the average rent for commercial space in Solana Beach is about $50 per square foot per month. After due consideration of the information provided by staff, the subcommittee felt that recommending a $20 per-square-foot fee annually for City Council consideration would be a reasonable rate to address cost recovery, be competitive and consistent with other jurisdictions, while encouraging outdoor dining in the community.

The following table is a sample comparison of what fees would be assessed if these businesses were located in the respective jurisdiction:

Business Area (SF) Solana
Beach
Del Mar Encinitas San Diego
(moderate)
Pillbox 434 $8,680 $9,296.28 $13,436.64 $10,902.08
Station
Sushi
180 $3,600 $3,855.60 $5,572.80 $4,512.60
Pizza Port 320 $6,400 $6,854.40 $9,907.20 $8,038.40
The subcommittee also recommended that the fee be effective January 1, 2027, and would be payable at the time of the business certificate renewal. This would give businesses approximately six (6) months to determine if they want to continue with their outdoor dining areas and allow them some time to prepare for the annual fee payment.

Staff would recommend that the adoption of the fee include annual increases consistent with other fee increases the City Council has adopted. The City’s fee schedule is adopted annually with increase based on the CPI index, with a cap being no more than 2.5%. Staff has drafted the resolution to include annual increases consistent with other fee schedules, however, it will be modified should the City Council wish to make a change.

Outdoor Dining License Fee and Ordinance Update

Page 3 of 4 ends

This information was also shared with the Business Liaison group on April 20, 2026, and the group in attendance supported the ordinance as drafted.

Sidewalk Café and Outdoor Dining
Since the adoption of the updated Sidewalk Café and Outdoor Dining regulations it was identified that the regulations did not sufficiently clarify the types of shade structures that would be allowed on public sidewalks, public streets or public parking areas. While providing shade for outdoor dining was expected, it was not intended to allow for the construction of permanent shade structures within the sidewalk or parking space. The proposed change to Section 17.62.130 is intended to clarify that canopies and umbrellas may be used in public spaces for outdoor dining and would clearly prohibit any construction of permanent shade structures on the public sidewalks, public streets or public parking areas.

Public Hearing Notice:

Notice of the City Council Public Hearing for the Ordinance was published in the Union Tribune more than 10 days prior to the public hearing.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

This project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because the proposed Zoning Code updates are covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There would be no impact to the General Fund from Ordinance 543. If Resolution 2026- 044 adopting a license fee for use of public space for outdoor dining is approved the revenue collected would offset the costs for infrastructure maintenance and enforcement of outdoor dining regulations.

WORK PLAN:

This item is consistent with the actions and intent of Item 3.A – Outdoor Dining Regulations of the Work Plan.

OPTIONS:
• Approve staff recommendation.
• Provide alternative directions.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: City Clerk’s Department
SUBJECT: SB707 Compliance: Council Policy “Technology
Disruption During Public Meetings”, Introduce Ordinance 544 (1st Reading) Related to Speaker Time Donation, and Adopt Resolution Designating Speaker Time Limits
BACKGROUND:

The Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code § 54950 et seq.) establishes requirements for open meetings of local legislative bodies. Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), signed into law on October 3, 2025, updates teleconferencing requirements, including requirements for remote participation and public access to meetings of ‘eligible legislative bodies.’ Under the legislation, the City of Solana Beach qualifies as an ‘eligible legislative body,’ requiring the City to offer remote access to City Council meetings, through a two-way phone or video/phone platform.

Pursuant to Cal. Gov't Code § 54953.4(b)(1)(A)(i)(I)(ib)(Ia), by July 1, 2026, eligible legislative bodies must adopt policies addressing technology disruptions. The policy must address procedures for responding to disruptions of telephonic or internet service during a meeting and the efforts the legislative body will make to restore service.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council is required to adopt a technology disruption policy by July 1, 2026. The Information Technology and City Clerk Departments have been working on implementation measures to ensure compliance. These efforts include preparation of the required policy, development of internal procedures, evaluation of equipment, and establishment of supporting processes.

Technology Disruption Policy
In accordance with the new law, a City Council Policy, entitled “Technology Disruption During Public Meetings” (Attachment 1) has been prepared. The Policy number will be assigned following adoption.

Item L.1
May 06, 2026
SB 707 Compliance Disruption Policy and Code Amendments

Page 2 of 4 ends

Definitions for purposes of this policy are:
“Remote access services” means the two-way telephonic service and/or two-way audiovisual platform used to provide real-time remote public attendance and observation of meetings.
“Disruption” means a failure or interruption of remote access services that materially prevents members of the public from observing or participating in the meeting remotely.

During a meeting, if internet services are lost/down, the City is required to make concerted efforts to restore it for observation and remote participation. The statute further requires that if a disruption occurs that prevents members of the public from observing or participating in a City Council meeting through the two-way telephonic or audiovisual platform, the City Council must recess the open session for at least one hour and make a good faith effort to restore service. If service has not been restored upon reconvening, the City Council must make findings by roll call vote that good faith efforts were made to restore access and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in providing remote access. Alternatively, the meeting may be adjourned.

The proposed policy incorporates these requirements and establishes procedures to ensure transparency and continuity of meetings in the event of a technological disruption during a City Council meeting, while maintaining flexibility to respond based on the specific circumstances.

Meeting Procedures
While SB 707 establishes baseline requirements, the City Council retains discretion over certain meeting procedures. The Council may provide direction to staff regarding meeting operations and related procedural matters, provided such direction is consistent with applicable law.

Ordinance Modifying References to Speaker Time Limits
To provide greater flexibility in adjusting speaker time limits, Staff recommends that the City Council consider referencing time limits and related procedures by resolution, rather than within the Municipal Code. This approach would allow for more efficient updates in the future. If acceptable, Staff has prepared Ordinance 544 (Attachment 2) to amend the relevant sections of the Municipal Code accordingly.

Resolution Establishing Modified Speaker Time Limits
As the Council already retains discretion to extend speaking time for specific items or meetings, the need for time donations may be limited. Additionally, coordinating donated time, particularly across both in-person and remote speakers, can present administrative challenges including verification of participants. Accordingly, the Council may wish to consider discontinuing the practice of speaker time donations, while retaining the ability to adjust speaking time at its discretion. Resolution 2026-056 (Attachment 3) reflects this approach by removing all time donations and maintaining the standard speaking times as follows:

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact to the technology disruption will be minimal as exempt Staff may take the lead on this. However, when Council meetings must be extended to be responsive to technology issues, City staff costs would increase for any non-exempt (hourly) staff in attendance.

OPTIONS:
• Approve staff recommendation.
• Provide alternative directions.

Council Policy No. xx - Technology Disruption Policy During Public Meetings (SB707, 2025) Page 1 of 3 CITY OF SOLANA BEACH Policy No. XX
COUNCIL POLICY STATEMENT Adopted: assigned after Council adoption Effective: Month xx, 2026
GENERAL SUBJECT: Technology Disruption Policy During Public Meetings (SB707)
SPECIFIC SUBJECT: Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings
PURPOSE:

This policy establishes procedures for responding to disruptions in telephonic or internet services used to provide remote public access to designated public meetings of the City of Solana Beach, as required by the Brown Act. This policy is adopted to ensure transparency, public participation, and continuity of government operations during technology disruptions.

Definitions
For purposes of this policy:
• “Disruption” means a failure or interruption of remote access services that materially prevents members of the public from observing or participating in the meeting remotely.
• “Remote access services” means the two-way telephonic service and/or two-way audiovisual platform used to provide real-time remote public attendance and observation of meetings.

Applicability
This policy applies to any open meeting of the City Council or legislative body, if designated by the City Council, at which remote public access is provided.

BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act (Govt Code § 54950) to require eligible legislative bodies to adopt, on or before July 1, 2026, a policy addressing how the agency will respond to disruptions in telephonic or internet service that prevent members of the public from attending or observing a meeting remotely. This policy is adopted to comply with that requirement and to ensure continuity of public participation during technical disruptions.

POLICY PROCEDURES:

Item L.1
Council Policy No. xx - Technology Disruption Policy During Public Meetings (SB707, 2025) Page 2 of 3 A. Procedures in the Event of a Service Disruption
A.1. Response to Service Disruption
If the Presiding Officer, City Clerk, or Information Technology staff becomes aware of a disruption to remote access services that materially impairs the public’s ability to observe or participate:

1. The Presiding Officer shall announce the disruption on the record.

Suggested announcement language: “This meeting is experiencing a disruption in remote access services. The City will pause proceedings while staff works to restore service.”

2. The legislative body shall temporarily pause discussion and refrain from taking action on agenda items while the disruption persists.

3. The Presiding Officer may then call for a recess of the open session or convene the legislative body in closed session, if properly noticed, consistent with the Brown Act.

4. Staff shall begin efforts to diagnose and restore the disrupted service.

5. The meeting shall remain in recess for at least one hour or until service is restored, whichever is sooner. The recess period may be extended if restoration efforts are ongoing. This does not apply to remote disturbances that are unacceptable such as threats, profanity, racial slurs, unauthorized remote access (e.g. “zoom bombing”) if making a meeting infeasible, or failing to comply with the meeting rules.

A.2. Efforts to Restore Service
The City shall make good faith efforts to restore remote access services, which may include:
• Troubleshooting platform or teleconferencing software. • Resetting or reconfiguring audiovisual equipment.
• Utilizing alternative call-in options.
• Contacting necessary support staff or service providers. • Switching to back-up equipment or platforms, if available.

The Information Technology Department shall document the general nature of the disruption and restoration efforts.

B. Reconvening the Meeting
B.1. Timing
The open session may be reconvened after at least one hour has elapsed from the time of disruption or as soon as service is restored, whichever occurs earlier.

B.2. If Service Is Restored
Item L.1
Council Policy No. xx - Technology Disruption Policy During Public Meetings (SB707, 2025) Page 3 of 3 If the remote access service is restored before or at the time the meeting reconvenes, the meeting shall resume from the point at which it was recessed.

B.3. If Service Is Not Restored
If service has not been restored after one hour, the City of Solana Beach may reconvene and:

1. Adjourn the meeting; or

2. Continue the meeting in open session by adopting, by roll call vote, the following, or a substantially similar, finding, per GC54953:
“The City of Solana Beach has made good faith efforts to restore telephonic or internet service in accordance with its adopted policy, and the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.”
Upon adoption of the finding, the legislative body may continue the open session
C. Recordkeeping
The City Clerk shall enter a brief statement into the meeting minutes, including the following:
• The nature and time of the disruption.
• Any persons registered for remote public access, if identified. • The restoration efforts undertaken.
• The time the meeting was reconvened (if applicable).
• Any finding adopted pursuant to Govt Code § 54953.

D. Review and Updates
This policy may be amended by the City Council at a noticed public meeting in open session, not on the consent calendar.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

SOLANA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS

2.04.200 AND 2.04.220 OF THE SOLANA BEACH MUNICIPAL

CODE (SBMC) REFINING PUBLIC SPEAKERS TIME

ALLOTMENTS
WHEREAS, on October 3, 2025, Senate Bill 707 was signed into law; and WHEREAS, the City has implemented various changes to comply with the new law, including adoption of a “Technology Disruption Policy During Public Meeting”; and WHEREAS, as of July 1, 2026, the City Council Meetings will provide additional access to council meetings, including both observation and public speaker participation via remote attendance; and
WHEREAS, the procedure of time donations is difficult to verify and manage when participation occurs in multiple formats (e.g., in person, telephonic, online) simultaneously; and
WHEREAS, time donation can unintentionally advantage organized groups or individuals familiar with the process, resulting in disproportionate speaking time for a few participants; and

WHEREAS, tracking, verifying, and managing donated time increases the likelihood of errors and misallocation of time; and
WHEREAS, eliminating time donation will ensure that rules and regulations are consistently applied to public meetings and the meetings proceed in an orderly, and predictable manner; and
WHEREAS, the City Council may, at any time by majority vote, allow speakers additional time when determined to be necessary; and
WHEREAS, it is suitable to remove references to speaker time limits from the Municipal Code to allow for necessary future modifications to respond to new technology and public meeting procedures under SB 707.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Solana Beach hereby ordains as follows:

Section 1. SBMC Chapter 2.04, Section 2.04.180, remains unchanged and is provided for context:

A. Certain items for inclusion on the agenda which have been reviewed by the city manager, delivered to the city council and made available to the public prior to the council meeting shall be grouped together for action and listed under the consent calendar, when such matters are considered to be noncontroversial and in the nature of housekeeping items by the city manager, requiring only routine action by the council.

Adoption of the consent calendar may be made by one motion approved by the council; provided, however, that the mayor should first advise the audience that the consent calendar matters will be adopted in total by one action of the council unless any council member or any individual or who has so requested wishes to be heard on consent items.

In that event, the mayor may defer action on the particular matter or matters and place them on the regular agenda for consideration in any order deemed appropriate. A request from the public to discuss an item must be filed with the city clerk in writing prior to council consideration of the consent calendar.

B. The written agenda available to the public and to the city council shall provide a notice of explanation to the public concerning the consent calendar.

Section 2. SBMC Chapter 2.04, Section 2.04.190, is modified removing reference to speaker time limits and shall read as follows:

At the direction of any member of the council, the city manager shall place any matter requiring council discussion or action on the agenda for a subsequent regular council meeting.

Section 3, SBMC Chapter 2.04, Section 2.04.200 is changed by deleting a portion of Section B, E, and F referencing speaker time limits and time donation and shall read as follows:

2.04.200 Addressing the council on matters not scheduled for public hearing.

If additional issues are to be presented at the hearing by any other member of such group, the mayor may limit the number of persons and the time periods to address the council, so as to avoid unnecessary repetition of issues before the council. Time limits are designated by City council resolution. Additional time may be granted by a majority vote of the council. (Ord. 361 §§ 3, 4, 5, 2007; Ord. 31 § 2, 1987; 1987 Code § 2.18.160) Section 4. SBMC Chapter 2.04, Section 2.04. 210 remains unchanged and is provided for context:

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Engineering Department, Austin Frisby, Principal Civil Engineer | City Engineer
SUBJECT: Approval of Cost Participation Agreements for South Nardo Avenue Improvements
BACKGROUND:

Two residential developments are currently under construction along South Nardo Avenue (S. Nardo Ave.): the Ocean Ranch development (Shea Homes), approved under Resolution 2022-135, and the Solana Highlands development (HG Fenton), approved under Resolution 2022-006. Both projects include Engineering Department Conditions of Approval requiring public improvements along S. Nardo Ave. as detailed in the respective resolutions to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

Construction activity associated with both developments has contributed to additional pavement degradation along the corridor. As the developments will be completing construction on separate schedules, the City seeks, in the best interest of the community, to provide a fully resurfaced S. Nardo Ave. from Bell Ranch Road to Stevens Avenue, as well as portions of Stevens Avenue immediately adjacent to the Solana Highlands project.

Rather than limiting improvements to those required under each developer's permits, the City and both developers have collaborated to deliver a full-width roadway resurfacing of the entire corridor. Execution of the Cost Participation Agreements will satisfy each developer's Conditions of Approval for required public improvements along S. Nardo Ave., a prerequisite to receiving a final Certificate of Occupancy for each respective development.

This item is before the City Council for consideration of Resolution 2026-040 (Attachment 1) and Resolution 2026-041 (Attachment 2) authorizing the City Manager to execute separate Cost Participation Agreements with Shea Homes and HG Fenton, respectively, for pavement rehabilitation along S. Nardo Ave from Bell Ranch Road to Stevens Avenue, with each developer contributing a fair-share amount consistent with each project’s Conditions of Approval.

DISCUSSION:

Under separate Cost Participation Agreements with Shea Homes and HG Fenton, the City will administer and manage a full-width pavement rehabilitation project along S. Nardo Ave. from Bell Ranch Road to Stevens Avenue, funded through a combination of developer contributions and City funds. The scope of work includes a 2-inch mill and 2-inch asphalt concrete (AC) overlay of the full roadway width; construction of a 5-foot-wide sidewalk in the parkway beginning at 544 S. Nardo Ave. and continuing south to Nardito Lane; and replacement of the decomposed granite (DG) pathway fronting 558 S. Nardo Ave. with a durable, contiguous surface. This project will be timed to coordinate with the completion of construction associated with both the Ocean Ranch and Solana Highlands developments, ensuring the corridor is restored to a long-term serviceable condition for all users.

Additional paving is planned to be conducted by the City on portions of Stevens Avenue adjacent to the Solana Highlands project site
S. Nardo Ave. was evaluated as part of the City's 2021 Pavement Management Program.

The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a 0-to-100 rating of road surface condition, with lower scores indicating greater deterioration. Per Metropolitan Transportation Commission standards, the leading agency for pavement evaluation, the affected segments received the following PCI scores, indicating they are candidates for pavement rehabilitation:

S. Nardo Ave. Street Segment PCI (2021)
Stevens Avenue to Fresca Street 61
Fresca Street to Solana Circle East 53
Solana Circle East to Lirio Street 62

Nexus to Developer Conditions of Approval
Each developer's Conditions of Approval established specific public improvement obligations along S. Nardo Ave. as prerequisites to receiving a final Certificate of Occupancy:
• Shea Homes (Ocean Ranch) was approved to subdivide an existing 4.2-acre lot into 8 residential lots and the future development of 8 single-family homes along Bell Ranch Road, a public road, as part of Resolution 2019-046, and subsequently modified under Resolution 2022-135. Engineering Department Condition IV required public improvements along S. Nardo Ave. to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Engineering Department Condition XXIV required construction of 6-inch curb and gutter and a 5-foot-wide contiguous DG pathway along the east side of S.

Nardo Ave. to Nardito Lane to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, as well as improvements for traffic calming as determined to be necessary. Public Improvement Permit (PIP) 19-0001 was issued on 11/14/2024 to the developer to complete the approved improvements along S. Nardo Ave.
• HG Fenton (Solana Highlands) was approved to demolish the existing apartment development and four multi-family units to construct 228 new multi-family units and 32 affordable senior units along S. Nardo Ave., as part of Resolution 2018-131, and Item L.2
May 6, 2026
Cost Participation Agreement – S Nardo Ave Improvements

Page 3 of 4 ends

subsequently modified under Resolution 2020-002 and Resolution 2022-006.

Engineering Department Condition I required public improvements along S. Nardo Ave. to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Improvement Plan No. CG-3183 was issued on 3/1/2023 to the Developer to complete the approved improvements along S. Nardo Ave.

Upon review of the approved improvement plans, the limits of pavement work required under each developer's existing permits, while sufficient to satisfy their individual Conditions of Approval, do not extend across the full corridor. The City and both developers have collaborated to deliver a full-corridor rehabilitation to benefit the entire community.

Execution of the Cost Participation Agreements will satisfy the Conditions of Approval for required public improvements along S. Nardo Ave. under Resolution 2022-135 (Shea Homes) and Resolution 2022-006 (HG Fenton), a prerequisite to receiving a final Certificate of Occupancy for each development. City Staff has prepared a Cost Participation Agreement (Attachments 3 and 4) that will be executed with the respective Developer upon approval by City Council, in an amount approved by City Staff.

Cost Estimation Methodology
Using bid results from the City’s most recent paving contract (FY26 Annual Pavement Management Program), the City prepared an overall cost estimate (Attachment 5) for the total improvements along the segment, including full-width paving. The City coordinated with both developers for the scope of work associated with their respective public improvements, as conditioned. A summary of the cost participation from Shea Homes and cost participation from HG Fenton is presented below, along with the remaining City funding required to complete the street segment:

Party Cost Participation
Amount ($)
Shea Homes $134,503.97
HG Fenton $129,729.20
City $226,896.83
Total $491,130.00

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

This action is not a project under CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves administrative and organizational activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. The S. Nardo Ave. pavement rehabilitation will undergo separate environmental review, as required, prior to implementation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Item L.2
May 6, 2026
Cost Participation Agreement – S Nardo Ave Improvements

Page 4 of 4 ends

The Cost Participation Agreements with Shea Homes and HG Fenton will establish each developer's fair-share contribution toward the S. Nardo Ave. pavement rehabilitation project. Developer contributions will be collected prior to bid advertisement and be deposited into the appropriate project account.

The estimated construction costs for S. Nardo Ave. Is $491,130.00 and the project is anticipated to be included as part of the Fiscal Year 2027 Annual Roadway Paving project.

The City's portion of the work may require additional appropriations beyond the current budget allocation. Final costs will be determined after solicitation and additional funding request, if needed, will be brought to City Council for consideration at the time of project bid award.

WORK PLAN:

This item continues the City’s focus on Transportation and Mobility (Section II) and Ongoing Priorities through the support of public improvements associated with new housing projects within the City.

OPTIONS:
• Approve Staff recommendation.
• Provide alternative direction.

RE: SB 936 – Support
Dear Senator Blakespear,
As the Mayor of the City of Solana Beach and on behalf of our City Council, I write to express our strong support for SB 936. This legislation addresses the critical public health, safety, and waste management challenges posed by the retail sale of large-scale nitrous oxide tanks.

While nitrous oxide has legitimate culinary, medical, and automotive applications, these large canisters are increasingly marketed as "Whippets"—illegal recreational party inhalants. In 2025, the FDA warned of severe short-term impacts including impaired brain function and death, as well as long-term neurological and organ damage. Furthermore, retailers are intentionally targeting younger demographics by offering flavors such as "cherry" and "bomb pop" under slogans that blur the line between baking and recreational drug use.

Beyond the human toll, these cylinders present an unfunded mandate and a growing waste management crisis for local agencies. While a cylinder may cost a consumer $30 to $50, the disposal cost for local governments ranges from $50 to $75 per tank. This financial burden falls unfairly on municipal haulers and counties, which must then pass these costs on to our residents.

SB 936 offers a common-sense solution by:
• Prohibiting Retail Sale: Restricting the public sale of canisters larger than the standard 8- gram whipped cream charger.
• Protecting Legitimate Use: Maintaining exemptions for authorized, licensed distributors serving medical, dental, and culinary professionals.
• Aligning with Regional Efforts: Following the lead of California counties like Orange and Santa Cruz that have already moved to ban these retail sales.

Solana Beach remains committed to safeguarding our youth and protecting municipal infrastructure from hazardous waste burdens. We respectfully request that the legislature pass SB 936 to curb the proliferation of these dangerous products in our communities.

Sincerely,

LESA HEEBNER

RE: SB 1167 – Support
Dear Senator Blakespear,
As Mayor of the City of Solana Beach and on behalf of our City Council, I write to express our strong support for SB 1167. The lack of clarity on the labeling of electric mobility devices and the purchasing of high-powered, high-speed devices for youth without understanding the legality, dangers, and capabilities of the devices has created significant traffic dangers and safety concerns on our roadways that require timely legislative clarity.

Currently, the three-class system for e-bikes has led to consumer confusion that "unscrupulous businesses" have exploited by marketing powerful motor vehicles as e-bikes, often purchased by parents for their children. In many cases, devices marketed to parents are capable of speeds exceeding 50 mph and power outputs up to 5,000 watts—well beyond the legal 750-watt and 28-mph limits. This false advertising causes users to underestimate the dangers of these vehicles and fail to utilize necessary safety precautions required for mopeds or motorcycles of similar speeds.

SB 1167 provides essential solutions to these municipal safety challenges by:
• Clarifying Definitions: Explicitly defining within state law that any device exceeding 750 watts or established speed limits is not an e-bike, but a motor vehicle. • Enhancing Transparency: Requiring manufacturers to disclose when a device is not an e-bike and mandating standardized, visible labeling for easier identification by parents, law enforcement and school officials.
• Improving Data Collection: Requiring crash and injury reports to include label information, which is vital for cities to assess risk and create targeted safety policies. • Restricting Dangerous Use: Prohibiting out-of-class devices that lack standard safety equipment from operating on the public right-of-way.

We find it concerning that nearly 88% of electric two-wheel devices found on school grounds do not meet the legal definition of an e-bike. Without this legislation, and continued education, the safety of our children, pedestrians, and lawful cyclists remains at risk due to vehicles that bypass speed limits through mobile applications or misleading marketing.

Solana Beach remains committed to promoting safe riding practices through education and information. We respectfully request that the legislature pass SB 1167 to ensure that manufacturers are held responsible and our streets remain safe for all users.

Sincerely,

LESA HEEBNER

RE: AB 2264 (Lackey) – District Agricultural Associations: Affordable Housing – Support Dear Assemblymember Lackey,
As Mayor of the City of Solana Beach, I am writing to express our support for AB 2264, which clarifies and expands the authority of district agricultural associations to develop and maintain affordable housing on district property and extends the allowable lease term from 55 to 99 years.

AB 2264 provides clear statutory authority for district agricultural associations, with approval from the Department of General Services, to construct and maintain affordable housing and housing for lowand moderate-income households. By increasing the allowable lease term from 55 to 99 years, the bill also improves the financial feasibility of affordable housing projects, helping ensure long-term affordability and housing stability.

California’s housing shortage requires creative, carefully structured solutions by all local and state agencies to make effective use of existing public assets while maintaining appropriate oversight and accountability. For coastal and urban communities, where land constraints and development costs present significant challenges, AB 2264 offers a practical opportunity to expand housing supply without displacing existing neighborhoods or critical commercial areas.

The City of Solana Beach appreciates your leadership in advancing solutions that address California’s housing needs while respecting local and state responsibilities. For these reasons, we respectfully support AB 2264 and urge its continued consideration.

Sincerely,

LESA HEEBNER
