STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department - Corey Andrews, City Planner
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2026-094 to Enter into a ThreeYear Professional Service Agreements with Data Ticket, Inc. for Parking Citation Processing Services.

BACKGROUND
The City of Solana Beach has contracted with Data Ticket for the past several years to assist with parking citation services. The current professional service agreement expired with no additional extensions on June 30, 2026.

This item is before Council to consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Data Ticket for professional services as outlined in the attached resolution (attachment 1) and scope of services (attachment 2).

DISCUSSION
Data Ticket, Inc. has provided parking citation services for the City of Solana Beach for many years. These services include, but are not limited to, manual and electronic parking citation processing, collections, Franchise Tax Board processing, and adjudication. The contract rates are outlined in the Scope of Services in Attachment 2.

The aforementioned professional services are highly specialized with very few consultants that are available to provide such services and none with the history and knowledge of the City of Solana Beach and our specific needs. Pursuant to Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) section 3.08.140, because of their unique nature, it is in the best interest of the public, as allowed by state law, that contracts for professional services such as attorneys, planning consultants, public relations consultants, and other professional or consultant services of a similar nature, be selected on the basis of demonstrated competence and on the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required, negotiated between parties rather than on the basis of cost alone. Data Ticket has demonstrated the competence and qualifications to satisfactorily perform the services at a fair and reasonable price. Furthermore, because of their past experience with the City, these consultants are uniquely qualified to provide the services to the City. Pursuant to Item J.3
July 15, 2026
Data Ticket, Inc. PSA

Page 2 of 2 ends

SBMC section 3.08.130(D), it would not be in the public’s interest to engage alternative consultants.

Staff has prepared a resolution requesting City Council to consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into a three-year professional service agreement with Data Ticket with the option for two additional one-year extensions.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for services by this consultant is outlined in detail in the attached scope of services and fees. The cost for parking citation services by Data Ticket, Inc. is based on and covered by the revenue generated by each parking citation.

WORK PLAN N/A

OPTIONS
• Approve staff recommendation.

WHEREAS, the Community Development Department is in need of specialized professional services for parking citation processing; and WHEREAS, the current contract with the firm currently providing such services, Data Ticket, expired on June 30, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the City has found that this provider has a proven track record of providing excellent service for many years; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) section 3.08.140, because of their unique nature, it is in the best interest of the public, as allowed by state law, that contracts for professional services such as attorneys, planning consultants, public relations consultants, and other professional or consultant services of a similar nature, be selected on the basis of demonstrated competence and on the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required, negotiated between parties rather than on the basis of cost alone; and WHEREAS, Data Ticket is a specialized firm that has demonstrated competence and qualifications to satisfactorily perform the services at a fair and reasonable price.

Furthermore, because of their past experience with the City, this consultant is uniquely qualified to provide the services to the City and no other firms possess the necessary history and knowledge of the City’s need, and

8.1. Confidential Work Product. All professional services performed by CONTRACTOR, including but not limited to all drafts, data, correspondence, proposals, reports, research, and estimates compiled or composed by CONTRACTOR, pursuant to this AGREEMENT, are for the sole use of the CITY, its agents, and employees. Neither the documents nor their contents shall be released to any third party without the prior written consent of the CITY. This provision does not apply to information that (a) was publicly known, or otherwise known to CONTRACTOR, at the time that it was disclosed to CONTRACTOR by the CITY, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission of CONTRACTOR or (c) otherwise becomes known to CONTRACTOR other than through disclosure by the CITY. Except for any CITY-approved subcontractors, neither the documents nor their contents shall be released to any third party without the prior written consent of the CITY. The sole purpose of this section is to prevent disclosure of CITY’s confidential and proprietary information by CONTRACTOR or subcontractors.

8.2. Confidentiality. Both PARTIES recognize that their respective employees and agents, in the course of performance of this AGREEMENT, may be exposed to confidential information and that disclosure of such information could violate the rights of private individuals and entities, including the PARTIESand third parties. Confidential information is nonpublic information that a reasonable person would believe to be confidential and includes, without limitation, personal identifying information (e.g., social security numbers) and trade secrets, each as defined by applicable state law, and all other information protected by applicable law (“Confidential Information”). The party receiving Confidential Information (“Receiving Party”) of the other (“Disclosing Party”) shall not, and shall cause its employees and agents who are authorized to receive Confidential Information, not to, use Confidential Information for any purpose except as necessary to implement, perform or enforce this AGREEMENT or comply with its legal obligations. Receiving Party will use the same reasonable efforts to protect the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party as it uses to protect its own proprietary information and data. The Receiving Party will not disclose or release Confidential Information to any third person without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except for where required by law or for authorized employees or agents of the Receiving Party. Prior to disclosing the Confidential Information to its authorized employees or agents, Receiving Party shall inform them of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and require them to abide by the terms of this AGREEMENT. Receiving Party will promptly notify Disclosing Party if Receiving Party discovers any improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information and will promptly commence all reasonable efforts to investigate and correct the causes of such improper use or disclosure. If Receiving Party believes the Confidential Information must be disclosed under applicable law, Receiving Party may do so provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the other party is given a reasonable notice and opportunity to contest such disclosure or obtain a protective order.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes known to the public without fault or breach of the Receiving Party; (ii) the Disclosing Party regularly discloses to third parties without restriction on disclosure; or (iii) the Receiving Party obtains from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of a non-disclosure obligation.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, Confidential Information does not include any information that the CITY determines, in its sole discretion, is required to be disclosed to the public pursuant to the laws of the United States and/or California such as the California Public Records Act. The non-disclosure and non-use obligations of this AGREEMENT will remain in full force with respect to each item of Confidential Information for a period of ten (10) years after the Receiving Party’s receipt of that item.

8.3. Enforcement. Each party acknowledges that any breach of any of the provisions of Section 8 of this AGREEMENT may result in irreparable injury to the other for which money damages would not adequately compensate. If there is a breach, then the injured party shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies which it may have, to have a decree of specific performance or an injunction issued by any competent court, requiring the breach to be cured or enjoining all persons involved from continuing the breach.

Item J.3
Agreement modified 7/8/2026 Page 5 of 12 City Attorney approved template June 2023

9. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

9.1. CONTRACTOR shall at all times comply with all federal, state, and local conflict of interest laws, regulations, and policies applicable to public contracts and procurement practices, including but not limited to California Government Code Section 81000 et seq. (Political Reform Act) and Section 1090 et seq. CONTRACTOR shall immediately disqualify itself and shall not use its official position to influence in any way any matter coming before the CITY in which the CONTRACTOR has a financial interest as defined in Government Code Section 87103.

CONTRACTOR represents that it has no knowledge of any financial interests which would require it to disqualify itself from any matter on which it might perform services for the CITY.

9.2. If, in performing the PROFESSIONAL SERVICES set forth in this AGREEMENT, the CONTRACTOR makes, or participates in, a “governmental decision” as described in Title 2, Section 18700.3(a) of the California Code of Regulations, or performs the same or substantially all the same duties for the CITY that would otherwise be performed by a CITY employee holding a position specified in the department's conflict of interest code, the CONTRACTOR shall be subject to a conflict of interest code requiring the completion of one or more statements of economic interests disclosing the CONTRACTOR’s relevant financial interests.

9.3. If checked, the CONTRACTOR shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Political Reform Act. Specifically, the CONTRACTOR shall file a Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700 (Assuming Office Statement) within thirty (30) calendar days of the CITY’s determination that the CONTRACTOR is subject to a conflict of interest code. The CONTRACTOR shall also file a Form 700 (Annual Statement) on or before April 1 of each year of the AGREEMENT, disclosing any financial interests held during the previous calendar year for which the CONTRACTOR was subject to a conflict of interest code.

9.4. CITY represents that pursuant to California Government Code Section 1090 et seq., none of its elected officials, officers, or employees has an interest in this AGREEMENT.

10. DISPOSITION AND OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS.

10.1. All documents, data, studies, drawings, maps, models, photographs and reports prepared by CONTRACTOR under this AGREEMENT, whether paper or electronic, shall become the property of CITY, and shall be turned over to the CITY upon completion of the PROJECT or any phase thereof, as contemplated by this AGREEMENT.

10.2. Contemporaneously with the transfer of documents, the CONTRACTOR hereby assigns to the CITY and CONTRACTOR thereby expressly waives and disclaims, any copyright in, and the right to reproduce, all written material, drawings, plans, specifications, or other work prepared under this AGREEMENT, except upon the CITY’s prior authorization regarding reproduction, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld. The CONTRACTOR shall, upon request of the CITY, execute any further document(s) necessary to further effectuate this waiver and disclaimer.

10.3. CONTRACTOR warrants that all documents it drafts and completes pursuant to this AGREEMENT constitute original work. Specifically, CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools including, without limitation, ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Bing Chat, Google’s Bard, and Meta’s LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI), in the performance of this AGREEMENT does not constitute an original work, i.e., submitting documents generated by such AI tools to CITY and representing it as CONTRACTOR’s original work constitutes a material breach of this AGREEMENT, constitutes a false claim, and may also violate applicable intellectual property right laws including, without limitation, United States Copyright Law.

Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this AGREEMENT as to ownership, CITY specifically rejects ownership of such documents. CONTRACTOR is required to indemnify and defend CITY to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law should it violate this Section.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Fire Department – Bret Davidson, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2026-099 Accepting StateMandated Annual Fire Inspections Report in Compliance with SB 1205

BACKGROUND
On September 27, 2018, the Governor of the State of California signed Senate Bill No. 1205 (SB 1205) mandating that every city fire department shall report annually to its administering authority on its compliance with the Health and Safety Code, Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3. The bill states that the report shall occur when the administering authority discusses its annual budget, or at another time determined by the administering authority.

The California State Fire Marshal, through the California Health and Safety Code, mandates that certain occupancy types shall be inspected annually. These mandated occupancy types include private and public schools, hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment/condominium buildings in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.2 and 13146.3. The purpose of annual fire inspections is to mitigate known hazards, reduce risk to the community, and ensure reasonable compliance with the California Fire Code.

This item is before the City Council to request approval of Resolution 2026-099 (Attachment 1) accepting the state-mandated annual fire inspection report in compliance with SB 1205.

DISCUSSION
The California State Fire Marshal, through the California Health and Safety Code, mandates that certain occupancy types shall be inspected annually. These mandated occupancy types include private and public schools, hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment/condominium buildings in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.2 and 13146.3. The purpose of annual fire inspections is to mitigate known hazards, reduce risk to the community, and ensure reasonable compliance with the California Fire Code. The Solana Beach Fire Department performs the mandated Item J.4
July 15, 2026
Annual Fire Inspection Compliance

Page 2 of 3 ends

inspections, as well as inspections of local businesses, as part of the Department’s annual fire inspection program. The Fire Department completed 100% of the state-mandated annual inspections within the calendar year 2025.

Fire Department personnel conducting business inspections in Solana Beach focus on ensuring compliance with the California Fire Code and all applicable Fire Safe regulations to protect life and property. These inspections typically assess several key areas. First, means of egress are checked to ensure exit doors are unobstructed, clearly marked, and operable without keys or special knowledge. Exit signs must be illuminated and exit pathways must remain clear. Fire extinguishers are also reviewed to confirm they are present, properly mounted, accessible, of the correct type, and have current inspection tags.

Electrical safety is another critical area, with inspectors verifying that extension cords and power strips are used appropriately and not as permanent wiring; electrical panels have proper clearance, and circuits are not overloaded. Fire protection systems such as kitchen hood/fixed systems, fire alarms, and fire sprinklers, must be operational and have up-todate maintenance records, with no obstructions or damage. Inspectors evaluate storage and housekeeping practices to ensure combustible materials are kept away from ignition sources and do not block exits or fire protection equipment.

For businesses handling hazardous materials, proper labeling, storage, and availability of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are reviewed. Emergency lighting is also tested to ensure functionality during power outages and adequate illumination of exit routes.

The most common violations found during inspections include blocked or locked exits, expired or missing fire extinguisher tags, improper use of extension cords, obstructed access to electrical panels, inadequate sprinkler clearance, combustible storage in nondesignated areas, and missing maintenance records for fire systems. Regular selfinspections and attention to these issues can help business owners maintain compliance and keep their businesses and their patrons safe.

Summary of 2025 Completed Inspections
California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.2 mandates that the local fire department inspect all hotels, motels, and lodging houses once annually. The Solana Beach Fire Department inspected 4 of 4 Group R hotels, motels, and lodging houses during the 2025 calendar year.

California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.2 mandates that the local fire department inspect all apartments once annually. An apartment shall consist of three or more attached units and excludes all duplex and townhome buildings as defined by the code. The California Building Code also specifies that condominiums should be considered apartments for building code applications. The Solana Beach Fire Department inspected 49 of 49 Group R apartment/condominium complexes during the 2025 calendar year.

Item J.4

California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.3 mandates that the local fire department inspect all public and private schools once annually. The Solana Beach Fire Department inspected 15 of 15 Group E school facilities during the 2025 calendar year.

In total, the Solana Beach Fire Department conducted 68 of 68 state-mandated inspections during the 2025 calendar year, per the California Health and Safety Code.

Further, the acceptance of this compliance report and the recommended Resolution fulfill the statutory requirements contained in California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.2, 13146.3 and 13146.4, as amended by SB 1205.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department – Corey Andrews, City Planner
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2026-098 to Enter into a TwoYear Professional Service Agreement with Warwick Group Consultants for Professional Services

BACKGROUND
The City of Solana Beach has contracted with Warwick Group Consultants for specialized services including lobbying for sand replenishment and beach renourishment projects for the past 20 years. The professional services agreement for these specialized services expired on June 30, 2026.

DISCUSSION
The City has contracted with Warwick Group Consultants to provide federal public affairs consulting to seek federal appropriation for various City projects including, but not limited to, the City’s Beach Sand Replenishment and Monitoring Program, Shoreline Restoration Project, Recycled Water System Expansion, Fire Risk Reduction Equipment and Marine Safety Center Replacement. The contract rates are outlined in the Scope of Services in Attachment 2.

The aforementioned professional services are highly specialized with very few consultants that are available to provide such services and none with the history and knowledge of the City of Solana Beach and our specific needs. Pursuant to Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) section 3.08.140, because of their unique nature, it is in the best interest of the public, as allowed by state law, that contracts for professional services such as attorneys, planning consultants, public relations consultants, and other professional or consultant services of a similar nature, be selected on the basis of demonstrated competence and on the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required, negotiated between parties rather than on the basis of cost alone. Warwick Group Consultants has demonstrated the competence and qualifications to satisfactorily perform the services at a fair and reasonable price. Furthermore, because of their past experience with the City navigating priority legislative matters, advising on federal issues that may affect Solana Beach, and securing funding for important citywide projects, this consultant Item J.5
July 15, 2026
Warwick PSA

is uniquely qualified to provide the services to the City. Pursuant to SBMC section

3.08.130(D), it would not be in the public’s interest to engage alternative consultants.

Staff has prepared a resolution requesting City Council to consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into a three-year professional service agreement with Warwick Consulting Group with the opportunity to extend the contract for two additional one-year periods.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
Warwick Group Consultants proposes to continue the aforementioned professional services for an amount not-to-exceed $70,000 per year. Sufficient budget was included in the FY2027 adopted budget under account 4506190-65300.

Receiving Party will use the same reasonable efforts to protect the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party as it uses to protect its own proprietary information and data. The Receiving Party will not disclose or release Confidential Information to any third person without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except for where required by law or for authorized employees or agents of the Receiving Party. Prior to disclosing the Confidential Information to its authorized employees or agents, Receiving Party shall inform them of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and require them to abide by the terms of this AGREEMENT. Receiving Party will promptly notify Disclosing Party if Receiving Party discovers any improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information and will promptly commence all reasonable efforts to investigate and correct the causes of such improper use or disclosure.

(a). The right to form, join and participate in the activities of employee organizations of the employee’s own choosing for the purpose of representation on matters of employer/employee relations or not to join or participate in the activities of any organization as provided in Solana Beach Resolution No. 92-52.

SECTION 10 - FULL UNDERSTANDING, MODIFICATION, WAIVER
It is the intent of the parties that this MOU set forth the full and entire understanding of matters agreed to upon conclusion of the meet and confer sessions that resulted in this MOU. Any other matters not contained herein that were or could have been addressed during the meet and confer sessions are superseded and terminated in their entirety. This Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
9 MOU may not be amended except by a writing executed by the parties after appropriate negotiations.

During the term of this MOU neither party shall be required to negotiate with the other regarding changes or modifications of the MOU, except as defined and agreed to with respect to re-opener clauses. If during the term of this MOU it becomes necessary for either party to propose changes in matters within the scope of representation and not covered by this MOU, then the party proposing the change shall give written notice to the other party of the proposed change and request consultation or meeting and conferring as appropriate. The party to whom the request is made shall indicate within ten days of receipt of the written notice, in writing, whether they approve of the change as proposed or whether the party desires to consult or meet and confer. If the party desires consultation or meeting and conferring, the parties shall meet promptly in an earnest effort to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of the matter as quickly as possible. Failure by SBFA to request consultation or meeting and conferring shall not be deemed approval of any action taken by the CITY, but only as a waiver of the right to consult or meet and confer.

Nothing in this MOU shall be construed to limit the authority of the CITY to make changes required to respond to an emergency. However, the CITY shall notify SBFA of such changes as soon as reasonably feasible. Emergency changes shall not extend beyond the period of emergency. “Emergency” means an unforeseen circumstance requiring immediate implementation of the change.

The consent to, or waiver of, any breach, provision or condition of this MOU shall not constitute a precedent in the future enforcement of any or all of the provisions of this MOU, nor a consent to, or waiver of, any future breach, provision or condition, unless otherwise expressly stated to the contrary in writing.

SECTION 11 - LEAVE PROVISIONS
SBFA agrees to abide by City’s Administrative Policy #31, Vacation, Sick Leave, and Other Leaves Use and Accrual.

Section 11.1 Vacation
Paid vacation shall be accrued on an hourly basis as follows:

Months of Employment Accrued Hours
12 – 36 completion months 112 hours/year or

4.308 hours/pay period
37 – 120 completion months 168 hours/year or

6.461 hours/pay period
121+ completion months 224 hours/year or

8.616 hours/pay period
Full-time employees shall be entitled to earn and use vacation time according to the provisions of the City Personnel Rules and Regulations and the Fire Department Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
10 Vacation Policy as amended as of the date of this MOU.

Section 11.2 Sick Leave
Fire employees who regularly work a schedule that averages 56 hours per week shall accrue sick leave at the rate of 7.385 hours per biweekly pay period. There shall be no limit to the amount of sick leave that an employee may accumulate.

Full-time employees shall be entitled to earn and use sick leave according to the provisions of the City Personnel Rules.

Sick Leave Conversion: Personnel Rules and Regulations Section 10.02(E) will be revised to reflect that 40 hours of sick leave may be converted to vacation leave when an employee has not used up more than 40 hours of sick leave during the previous year. All other provisions and requirements regarding Sick Leave will remain unchanged.

Section 11.3 Holiday
Holidays and holiday pay are generally governed by the City Personnel Rules and Regulations. However, because employees subject to this MOU are required to work shifts to provide full time fire protection services, each fire department safety employee working shift work shall receive an annual total of 132 hours of Holiday-inLieu payable in equal installments each two-week pay period. Holiday-in-Lieu is considered “Special Compensation” by CalPERS and California Code of Regulations (CCR) 571(5) defines “Holiday Pay” as additional compensation for employees who are normally required to work on an approved holiday because they work in positions that require staffing without regards to holidays. Therefore, CalPERS considers Holiday Pay as pensionable compensation.

Section 11.3(a) Holiday-in-Lieu and Regular Rate of Pay

Effective with the first full pay period in July 2022, the City will no longer consider holiday-in-lieu pay when calculating a SBFA member’s regular rate of pay.

Section 11.4 Bereavement Leave
Bereavement Leave is generally granted so an employee does not have the shock of a death in the immediate family compounded by the loss of pay. All hours of Bereavement Leave will count as hours worked for the purposes of FLSA calculations.

Section 11.4.1 Immediate and Extended Family Definitions Members of the immediate family are defined as an employee’s spouse, registered domestic partner, children, father, mother, brothers, sisters, father-in-law, mother-inlaw, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, fiancés, and grandparents.

Members of the extended family are defined as an employee’s aunts, uncles, and first cousins.

Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
11 Section 11.4.2 Bereavement Policy
SBFA Members will be granted reasonable bereavement time off without the loss of pay, as follows:

When a death occurs in an employees’ immediate family (as defined in Section

11.4.1), a shift employee will be allowed up to two (2) shifts with pay for the emergency. A day shift employee will be allowed up to five (5) workdays with pay for the emergency. The Fire Chief shall have discretion to grant or deny the written request of a shift employee for up to two (2) additional shifts of paid bereavement leave for the death of an immediate family member.

When a death occurs in an employee’s extended family, (as defined in Section

11.4.1), day shift employees will be allowed four (4) days of paid bereavement leave and shift employees will be allowed two (2) shifts of paid bereavement leave.

Section 11.5 Witness Duty
Notwithstanding the Witness Duty Section of the City of Solana Beach Personnel Rules and Regulations Manual, if an employee is required by subpoena to appear in court on a matter arising out of the course and scope of their employment, at a time other than a regular work shift of the employee, the employee shall be entitled to one additional hour of compensation in lieu of travel time.

Section 11.6 Union Leave
During the month of January, employees may voluntarily donate up to four (4) hours of Vacation per calendar year to a Union Time Bank to be used by Employees to attend activities such as conferences, educational opportunities, and related union business as verified and authorized by the President of the Association (or his/her designee) and approved by the City Manager (or his/her designee). Such time shall not be considered City work time, but rather, off-duty time engaged in voluntary union business activities. The use of such leave time shall be considered hours worked for the purposes of calculating overtime under the FLSA.

The maximum amount of Union Leave hours permitted to count as time worked for the purposes of calculating overtime is limited to no more than eight (8) hours per employee per day.

Donated leave time shall be converted at the employee's current hourly rate. Unused hours placed in the bank will carry over to the next calendar year.

In the event there are insufficient hours in the bank to cover the employee's time attending union business activities, the employee is required to obtain advance approval from the Fire Chief and City Manager for paid or unpaid leave to cover any absence from work.

The Association indemnifies and holds the City of Solana Beach harmless from any claims of any kind arising from the use of these hours. An employee paid with these Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
12 hours is not considered working or performing duties within the scope of his/her position for the City of Solana Beach.

Section 11.7 Special Leaves of Absence Without Pay
An employee who has been employed by the CITY for at least 12 months and who has been employed for at least 1250 hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of leave shall be entitled to a leave or leaves of absence, without pay, with right to return to the position, as specified by the Family Leave and Medical Act of 1993 (California Government Code 12945.2) and California Family Rights Act or other such provisions by Federal and State Statute.

SECTION 12 - LIFE INSURANCE
The CITY shall provide life insurance coverage through group policy acquired by the CITY for all CITY employees with basic coverage at an amount equal to the employee’s annual base salary.

SECTION 13 - NEGOTIATIONS FOR A SUCCESSOR AGREEMENT
Negotiations for a successor MOU shall begin by the submission by either party of a proposal or a written request to meet and confer not later than March 1, 2029.

If a proposal or request is submitted, meet and confer sessions shall begin by March 15, 2029, and shall continue until an agreement is reached or until an inability to reach agreement (impasse) is declared. The parties agree to use good faith efforts to conclude meet and confer sessions before June 30, 2029.

If neither party submits a proposal or request to meet and confer, the wages, hours and terms and conditions of employment of this MOU shall automatically continue in full force and effect for an additional one-year term. In the event of such automatic extension, the time for exchanging proposals and opening negotiations as set forth in this Article shall be adjusted accordingly. This process of automatic extensions in the event of a failure by either party to submit a proposal or written request to meet and confer may continue from year to year.

SECTION 14 - OVERTIME
Employees shall be entitled to overtime pay or compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay as provided in Section 9.02 of the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations and as specified below, provided that, pursuant to Personnel Rule Section 1.06, the provisions of the MOU shall prevail over the Personnel Rules in the event of a conflict. Nothing in this MOU or the Personnel Rules and Regulations shall be construed as guaranteeing that overtime work will be available.

Definitions:

Work Period
The FLSA “Work Period” for members of the Solana Beach Firefighter’s Association shall be defined as a 24-day work-period cycle coinciding with the 24-day Firefighter’s Shift Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
13 Schedule. The parties understand that the City’s adoption of the aforementioned 24-day, 182-hour work period pursuant to Section 7(k) of the Fair Labor Standards Act remains in full force and effect through the term of the MOU. However, overtime entitlements will be based on the criteria set forth in the next section entitled “Calculation of Overtime”.

Calculation of Overtime
Overtime shall be calculated based on a 24-day, 182-hour work period and overtime shall be paid for all hours worked over 182 hours per work period. Employees shall receive payment for 112 hours worked at the employee’s base rate of pay (as reflected in the City’s salary schedule) every two weeks on the City’s regularly scheduled payday. Employees shall be compensated for any overtime at the employee’s base rate plus one-half times the employee’s FLSA regular rate of pay. Any overtime shall be paid to employees in the employees’ regular bi-weekly check following the prior 24-day work period. The starting and ending dates for each 24-day work-period and the corresponding pay dates for any overtime owed to employees is attached to this MOU as Appendix C.

Paid Leave Considered Time Worked
All paid leave hours will be considered hours worked (with the exception of worker’s compensation and leave without pay).

Additionally, all FLSA mandated specialty pays will be annualized for purposes of calculating the FLSA regular rate of pay effective with the 24-day work cycle that began on July 9, 2018.

Mandated Work (Force Hire)
Mandated Work (Force Hire) time will be paid at the employee’s base rate plus one half times the FLSA regular rate of pay and will count as time worked for the purposes of calculating overtime. Mandated Work can only be authorized by the Fire Chief or his/her designee and will be monitored by the City in the following six-month time periods starting from the execution of this MOU: July 2022 and January 2023. If, during any of the designated six-month increments, the amount of Mandated Work hours exceeds 5% of the total hours worked, the City reserves the right to reopen the MOU to discuss modifications to this specific provision of the MOU.

Modified Work Schedules
The 24-day work cycle does not apply to employees on a modified work schedule of 40 hours per workweek. During the time an employee is working a modified work schedule, they are not authorized to work overtime (over 40 hours in a work week) without the written permission of the Fire Chief. This applies only while the employee is on a modified work schedule. Once the employee returns to 24-day work-period cycle, the employee may continue to earn overtime based upon the 24-day, 182-hour work period (as set forth above). The hours worked on the modified work schedule count as hours worked for the purposes of calculating overtime.

Fire Chief Authority and Emergency Provision
In the event of an emergency, the Fire Chief or his designee has the authority to waive any and all requirements for overtime compensation eligibility as specified within this Overtime section of the MOU, in order to require a sufficient amount of employee resources for purposes of staffing during an emergency. The Fire Chief, or his designee, has full authority to grant or deny all overtime and leave requests, in accordance with applicable Department of Labor rules and regulations.

SBFA eligible members, who provide the appropriate documentation, will receive CLI paid in equal installments each two-week pay period in conjunction with their Holiday-in-Lieu pay. • Fire Engineer:

SECTION 16 - PEACEFUL PERFORMANCE OF CITY SERVICES
No Strike. During the term of this MOU, and any authorized extensions, or subsequent negotiations, neither SBFA nor any represented employee, agents or representatives will instigate, promote, sponsor, engage in, or condone any strike (including any sympathy strike), slowdown, concerted stoppage of work, sick-out, or any other intentional disruption of the operations of the CITY, regardless of the reason for doing so. SBFA recognizes and agrees that the concerted activity described in this paragraph would have a significant adverse impact on the public health, safety, and welfare.

Penalty. Any employee engaging in the activity prohibited by “No Strike” under this Article, or who instigates or gives leadership to such activity, shall be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment.

No Lockout. During the term of this MOU, the CITY will not instigate a lockout over a dispute with employees so long as there is no breach as stated in this Article. The CITY recognizes and agrees that a lockout would have a significant adverse impact on the public health, safety and welfare.

Association Official Responsibility. Each employee or other person who holds the position of an officer of SBFA occupies a position of special trust and responsibility in maintaining and bringing about compliance with the provisions of this Article; therefore, such employees or other persons agree to inform its members of their obligations under this Article, and to inform them of the penalty for failure to comply.

Enforcement. In the event the CITY is required to enforce the provisions of the Article "Peaceful Performance of City Services," by court action, or in the event that SBFA is required to enforce the provisions of said Article, by court action, a temporary restraining Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
15 order, preliminary injunction and permanent injunction may be issued.

SECTION 17 - PRIOR AGREEMENTS
The provisions of this MOU shall supersede and replace the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding last executed between SBFA and the CITY. The benefits and other terms and conditions of employment provided pursuant to the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations shall continue to apply except to the extent modified by this MOU.

SECTION 18 - REOPENERS
During the six (6) months following the effective date of this Memorandum of Understanding (“Negotiations Period”), the parties agree to meet on a regular basis (monthly) to discuss, negotiate in good faith, and finalize the following outstanding items:
- Longevity Pay
- MERP Program Adjustments – Explore and ensure compliance with law and implementation steps: Transfer of ICMA RHSA funds into MERP, Vacation Bank Transfer, Health Insurance Opt-Out, Pre-Funded Retiree Health Benefit Structure, Percentage Based Model, Promote Out Resolution
As the timing to implement these reopeners is not completely within the City’s discretion or control, the City will use its best efforts to reach an agreement and implement the reopeners within the Negotiations Period. Implementation of each of the MERP Program Adjustments is also contingent on the City’s verification that the adjustments are allowable under the law.

SECTION 19 - RETIREE HEALTH BENEFITS
During the term of this MOU, the City agrees to remain in CalPERS in order to provide healthcare coverage to active employees and retiree healthcare benefits to retired employees. The City agrees to pay Retiree Health Benefits (RHB) as follows:

SBFA members currently employed who retire from the City at a future date, shall receive the following RHB in recognition of their vested rights and service to the City:

A. SBFA members hired prior to January 1, 2007, shall receive a maximum of $290.00 per month as a RHB for medical insurance premiums and other eligible health care expenses that will be paid to a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) account established for the retired employee. The HRA will be administered by a third-party administrator (TPA) and the retired employee will be responsible for any monthly account maintenance fee(s).

If the retired employee elects to enroll in the CalPERS Retiree Health Plan, the City will subtract the required minimum employer contribution amount as required under the Public Employees' Medical & Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) from the retiree’s RHB and pay that amount to CalPERS directly. Any remaining left-over RHB balance will be paid to the retiree as a reimbursement of the required premium for coverage under the CalPERS Retiree Health Plan. The reimbursement will be processed through the HRA.

Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
16 If the retired employee does not elect to enroll in the CalPERS Retiree Health Plan, the contribution of the retiree’s RHB amount will be made to the retiree’s HRA account.

B. SBFA members with a date of hire on or after January 1, 2007, who subsequently retire from the City AND enroll in the CalPERS Retiree Health Plan, will only receive the “minimum” retirement benefit contribution amount required under PEMHCA to offset their CalPERS Retiree Health Plan costs. This amount will be paid to CalPERS directly.

If the retired employee does not enroll in the CalPERS Retiree Health Plan, no Retiree Health Benefit payments will be made to the retiree by the City.

SECTION 20 – IAFF Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (MERP) This Section 20 incorporates the Side Letter of Agreement (“Side Letter”) effective June 1, 2023 for Participation in California Firefighters Benefit Trust, which as of the date of this MOU is known as the IAFF Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (“MERP”). The California Firefighters Benefit Trust Joiner Agreements for Associations, effective March 1, 2021, is attached to this MOU as Appendix D.

3. MONTHLY MERP CONTRIBUTION. The City and the SBFA agree that, for every employee in the Defined Class, contributions to the MERP will be made for each calendar month during the term of the Agreement (“Monthly MERP Contribution”) in amounts determined according to the employee’s years of full-time City employment, rendered at any time, as a member of the Defined Class, as follows:

Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
20 SECTION 25 - TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT
Whenever a temporary vacancy occurs in a higher classification and the Fire Chief determines that the vacant position should be temporarily filled by a current employee, the Fire Chief may assign a qualified, lower-classified employee to temporarily fill the position. Whenever practical, the Fire Chief shall assign employees who have demonstrated ability to perform the duties of the position to which the assignment is made.

Less than 6-hour assignment: It is understood and agreed that temporary assignments for less than 6 hours may be made as part of the normal operation of the department and therefore, no extra compensation shall be paid for temporary assignments of less than 6 hours.

Assignment of 6 hours or more: If an employee is temporarily assigned to a position with a higher pay classification for 6 hours or more, the employee shall be paid at the lowest pay step of the higher classification, but not less than 5%, which shall constitute “Acting Pay.”
The CITY shall continue the current practice of filling vacancies on a rank for rank basis.

SECTION 26 - PLACEMENT AND HIRE OF NEW AND TEMPORARY SOLANA BEACH

EMPLOYEES
If a temporary vacancy occurs due to a specific incident (*), the Fire Chief has the discretion to use a temporary Firefighter to fill the vacant position.

The temporary and/or full-time firefighter/paramedic will take part in a new hire orientation program prior to being placed on shift. The content and the duration of the new hire orientation training shall be a minimum of three weeks (56 hours per week) and shall cover OSHA mandated training on injury and accident prevention, Infection Control, Harassment policies, and mandatory Personal Protective Equipment ensemble and SCBA fit testing. Additional training topics may be added and topics deleted as deemed necessary. Any additional orientation training time will be at the recommendation of the Fire Chief and approval of the City Manager on a case-by-case basis.

An example of the basic outline of the orientation to fulfill the adopted philosophy and to cover additional non-mandated information would include new employee operational readiness, such as employee benefits and basic procedural operations, prior to placement on shift as a firefighter/paramedic.

The order, content, and schedule of the training may be modified as deemed necessary by Item J.6
MOU SBFA - FY 2026/2029
21 the Fire Chief in order to meet training objectives.

Following the new orientation program, if the temporary employee is deemed qualified to perform the duties of the position, the Public Safety Director/Fire Chief has the discretion to extend the use of the temporary employee as appropriate and necessary to provide emergency services. If at any time the temporary employee is deemed unqualified and the temporary appointment terminated, the new vacancy created by the termination will be deemed a new incident for purposes of providing in-house shift availability.

Definitions:

Incident: An incident is defined as a vacancy resulting in the absence of an employee. If the incident is due to a personal or family injury or illness, once the employee is returned to full duty or returns to work for 45 days, the specific incident is considered closed. Any new absences for the same employee would be considered a new incident and follow the use of Temporary “Part-time” Employees as defined in Personnel Rules and Regulations Section 2.50.

Qualified Employee: A qualified employee must meet the minimum qualifications as specified in the appropriate Classification Specification.

SECTION 27 - TERM
The term of this MOU shall commence on July 1, 2026, subject to formal approval by the City Council, and shall expire at 12:00 a.m. (midnight), on June 30, 2029.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2026
ORIGINATING DEPT: Engineering Department – Orelia DeBraal, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Confirm Fiscal Year 2026/27 Levies for the Solana Beach Lighting Maintenance District for FY
2026/27
BACKGROUND:

The City of Solana Beach Lighting Maintenance District provides installation, operation, and maintenance of public streetlights within the City, funding these services through a combination of ad valorem property tax revenue and benefit assessments levied on properties citywide. The District was formed under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (1972 Act).

The 1972 Act requires that annual assessments be levied in proportion to the benefit each property receives from District improvements. Each year, an Engineer's Report must be prepared identifying the program components, costs, and revenue required to fund services, and establishing the proposed assessment rate for each parcel. The City Council must hold a public hearing to receive public testimony and confirm the Engineer's Report before assessments can be submitted to the County Auditor for collection.

On June 24th, 2026, the City Council adopted resolutions initiating the proceedings for the annual levy of assessments for the District; approving the preliminary Engineer’s Report; and setting a time and place for the public hearing.

The proposed assessment rates for FY 2026/27 are $8.80 per benefit unit for Zone A and $1.62 per benefit unit for Zone B, with a single-family residence assessed one benefit unit.

Rates are unchanged from the prior year and are within the maximum rates established at the time each zone was formed, in accordance with Articles XIII A-D of the California Constitution (Proposition 218).

This item is before the City Council for consideration of Resolution 2026-083 (Attachment 1) approve the Solana Beach Lighting Maintenance District Engineer’s Report for FY 2026/27 and Resolution 2026-084 (Attachment 2) ordering the levy and collection of annual assessments and transmission to the County Auditor for collection.

Item K.1
July 15, 2026
Lighting Maintenance District Levies-Public Hearing

Page 2 of 4 ends

DISCUSSION:

In 1987, City Council adopted Resolution 1987-094 forming the Solana Beach Lighting Maintenance District (District) under the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Division 15, Part 2, of the California Streets and Highways Code (1972 Act). The District was formed for the purpose of levying and collecting funds for the installation, operation, and maintenance of streetlight facilities within the City. The District consists of two zones:
• Zone A is the successor agency to portions of San Diego County Lighting Maintenance District Nos. 1 and 3 (LMD1 and LMD3). Ballots issued in 1982 and 1984 to levy assessments for LMD1 and LMD3 were approved with a maximum charge of $25.00 per benefit unit. Properties within Zone A benefit from streetlights on six major circulation element streets as well as streetlights on their local streets.

The current Zone A assessment rate is $8.80 per benefit unit, well within the maximum allowable rate.
• Zone B, also known as the "Dark Sky Zone", includes properties that do not have streetlights on their local streets and are therefore only assessed for their proportional share of the circulation element streetlight costs. The maximum assessment rate of $1.62 per benefit unit was established in the Engineer's Report approved prior to the adoption of Proposition 218 in November 1996 (Resolution 1994-048). The current Zone B assessment rate remains at $1.62 per benefit unit.

The District is funded through a combination of ad valorem property tax revenue and property-owner-paid assessments collected through property tax bills. The amount each parcel is charged is based on the type of land use and the number of trips generated, represented as benefit units, using traffic generation rates from the SANDAG Traffic Generators Manual, with a single-family residence assessed at one benefit unit. The Engineer's Report outlines program components, costs, and revenue required to fund services.

In 2012, all City-owned streetlights were retrofitted with LED technology using District reserve funds. The retrofit covered approximately two-thirds of the City's 801 streetlights; the remaining one-third are owned and maintained by SDG&E. The LED fixtures use approximately 50% less energy than the lights they replaced, and the resulting savings are reflected in the District budget.

Staff have reviewed the FY 2026/27 budget and determined that the current assessment is sufficient to fund operation and maintenance of streetlights for the next fiscal year. Staff is proposing no increase in fees for FY 2026/27, with Zone A remaining at $8.80 per benefit unit and Zone B at $1.62 per benefit unit.

Item K.1
July 15, 2026
Lighting Maintenance District Levies-Public Hearing

Page 3 of 4 ends

A public hearing is required to receive public testimony and confirm the Engineer's Report before assessments can be submitted to the County Auditor. City staff has notified the property owners by publishing a notice of today’s public hearing in the San Diego UnionTribune. Upon Council approval, staff will submit information to the County by August 10th to collect assessments through the tax rolls.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Class 1 — Existing Facilities) categorically exempts from CEQA review the "operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use." The approval of annual assessments for the ongoing operation and maintenance of existing public streetlight facilities will result in negligible or no expansion of existing use. Therefore, this action is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Adopted Budget. The District is funded by property owner assessments and the District share of one percent ad valorem property tax revenues. The amount of revenue generated from the proposed benefit assessments is projected to be $75,187 for FY 2026/27.

WORK PLAN:

While the levy of assessments is not explicitly identified in the current Work Plan, this action supports General Governance and Fiscal Responsibility by providing revenue for the annual operational budget to ensure proper operation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the City's streetlight system. Proactive and routine streetlight maintenance reduces the likelihood of equipment failures and supports the City's broader goal of maintaining reliable, safe, and resilient public infrastructure.

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

CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution 2026-083 confirming the diagram and assessment and approving the City of Solana Beach Lighting Maintenance District Engineer’s Report.
