CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and adopt Resolution No. 6245/SA-2025-01, a Joint Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad and the Successor Agency of the Soledad Redevelopment Agency “Approving the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Budget (Exhibit A) and Approving and/or Directing Implementation of Other Budget Related Actions” including:

1. Authorizing the City Manager and Finance Director to Realign the Budget for Fiscal Year 2024- 2025 to reflect the Estimated Actual Revenues and Expenditures for the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year; and

2. Approving a Transfer in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget of $132,715 from the General Fund to a new Housing Trust Fund, which represents the City proceeds from the sale of the parcels to the Soledad School District; and

3. Approving the Position Allocation for FY 2025-2026 (Exhibit B); and

4. Approving the Salary Schedule of the City’s Classification & Compensation Plan for FY 2025- 2026, including the compensation for City Council, Planning Commissioners, and City of Soledad Transactions and Use Oversight Committee Members (Exhibit C); and

5. Affirming the City of Soledad’s Emergency Contingency Reserve Policy (Fund Balances); and

6. Establishing the Proposition 4 General Fund Appropriations Limitation for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 (Exhibit D).

Executive Summary
On an annual basis, Staff prepares a citywide operating budget for adoption by the City Council. For the fiscal year 2025-2026, Staff are generally presenting a “Status Quo” budget, meaning there are no significant changes from the previous year. Despite adhering to budget discipline, costs are projected to exceed expected revenue, mainly due to required staffing for the Fire Department. While potential 413
revenue sources are on the horizon, this year, $510,541 in General Fund Operating Reserves will be utilized to balance the budget.

The budget includes two reclassified positions that will enhance the efficiency of the permitting process and one reclassification in Public Works to support construction management with minimal associated costs. In addition to the General Fund, the budget consists of Enterprise and Special Revenue Funds, which are restricted and must be used for their intended purposes. Expenditures for the Water and Wastewater (Sewer) Enterprise Funds are specifically allocated according to the 2021 Water and Sewer Rate Study Plan.

The City is fortunate to currently possess healthy reserves in both the General Fund Operating Reserve and the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund. While challenges lie ahead, the Staff is confident that by collaborating with the City Council on future decisions to secure new revenue sources, we will navigate these obstacles successfully.

Background
Preparing a program and financial plan to guide the City organization into the future is both a professional challenge and an honor that comes around once a year and then again for a mid-year review, especially when revenue sources are declining. City staff has dedicated significant time to developing the proposed city-wide operating budget for fiscal year 2025-2026. The much-anticipated recession did not happen as most economists projected; however, staff believes that the most prudent action is to present a “Status Quo” budget for fiscal year 2025-2026, since some of the city’s key revenue sources, such as sales tax, are projected to remain unchanged in FY 2025-2026. The General Fund is balanced using $510,541 from the General Fund operating reserve for the fiscal year; the Enterprise Funds are balanced and submitted for City Council consideration, acceptance, and approval.

The operating budget also encompasses the budget for fiscal year 2025-2026 for the Successor Agency to the Soledad Redevelopment Agency, which reflects the approved California Department of Finance Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for fiscal year 2025-2026.

During the fiscal year 2024-2025, the City completed the sale of three parcels to the Soledad School District for future teacher housing development. The sale included two parcels owned by the Successor Agency and one parcel owned by the City. The City realized proceeds of $132,715 from the transaction.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a transfer of the sale proceeds to a new Housing Trust Fund, which will be used for future low-income housing projects. Once the funds are moved to the Housing Trust Fund, they will become low and moderate-income housing funds and cannot be transferred back to the General Fund.

Review & Analysis
This budget is presented as a status quo budget due to the current economic climate and its potential impact on some City revenue sources. While the budget reflects this status quo at present, the Staff hopes that we can reevaluate the actual financial implications of the economy and make adjustments during the mid-year review.

Some of the ongoing challenges we continue to face will require the City’s continued diligence in managing service demands while developing revenue enhancement strategies.

The rate of increase in revenues is not keeping up with increasing expenditures. The City remains challenged by uncontrollable expenses such as cost-of-living increases, fire staffing, workers’ compensation, liability insurance, 911 costs, and PERS increases. 414
The City will need to secure a new revenue source to support the required staffing levels of the Fire Department starting in FY 2026-2027 and beyond. The current estimate is that the City needs to generate at least $1.0 million in new revenue to support this transition. Staff has already begun exploring a Parcel Tax for fire services.

A significant ongoing challenge facing the City is the rising cost of maintaining its infrastructure.

Many of our facilities and buildings are in need of additional maintenance and improvements.

What is included in the proposed budget
As mentioned, the budget is presented as a status quo budget. This means staff is maintaining current service levels as they are, with two position reclassifications. All associated costs are included in the proposed budget for FY 2025-2026. The budget includes the reclassification of the Community Development Administrative Assistant and the Building Permit Technician to a Development Permit Technician. This change will enhance coverage for the intake of routine building permits and free up time for the Senior Planner to focus on more complex projects. All costs related to the reclassifications are incorporated into the FY 2025-2026 budget. Additionally, the Assistant Engineer position will be reclassified as a Construction/Project Manager. The title is still to be determined, but this change allows for both a supervisory role and increased responsibilities in construction management to reduce costs associated with outsourcing these duties to consultants.

General Fund
The FY 2025-2026 General Fund budget is presented as deficit spending by $510,541 and uses $200,000 of the General Fund Capital Reserve interest earnings to fund capital projects. Revenues are projected at $15,093,821; expenditures at $15,604,362. If the FY 2024-2025 closes as planned, the general fund and Fund Balance operating reserve should be approximately $3,651,194 after the $2,000,000 Emergency Reserve set by the Council. The City still faces several economic challenges, as our current percentage increase in expenditures exceeds the expected percentage of revenue growth.

The presented budget maintains essential services while also preserving all current staff positions and scheduled salary increases outlined in existing Memorandums of Understanding.

The City continues to have a General Fund Capital Reserve for future city capital needs, such as new facilities for public safety and city employees. The balance of that fund at the end of FY 2025-2026 is estimated to be $7,345,000.

Measure Y
Measure Y, the temporary emergency one percent sales tax measure placed on the June 2012 election ballot, became effective in October 2012. The 5-year emergency measure was set to sunset in October 2017; however, following voter approval of Measure I in November 2014, it will be extended for an additional 15 years through 2032.

Proceeds from Measure Y remain vital for maintaining City services, accounting for approximately 16% of the General Fund revenue.

In accordance with the Ordinance that enacted the temporary sales tax measure, the City Council established a 7-member City of Soledad Transactions and Use Tax Oversight Committee.

Staff projects $2,399,000 in revenues for FY 2025-2026. Unfortunately, the City of Soledad Transactions and Use Tax Oversight Committee could not meet this year due to a lack of members for a quorum. The proposed budget was developed based on the previously committed allocations for public safety personnel and the increases in the CAL FIRE contract. 415
Measure Y - FY 2025-2026
Proceeds (Estimate) $2,399,000
Administration 1%
Police 56%
Fire 43%
The budget document for the fiscal year 2025-2026 outlines how the Measure Y funds are allocated based on previously approved ongoing costs presented to the City Council.

Measure S
Measure S, a one-half percent sales tax measure placed on the November 2020 election ballot, became effective in April 2021. The measure funds quality of life services for the community and does not have an expiration date. Proceeds from Measure S continue to be essential for preserving City services, representing about 8% of the General Fund revenue.

In accordance with the Ordinance that established the sales tax measure, the City Council formed a joint 7-member City of Soledad Transactions and Use Tax Oversight Committee, which has not been able to meet due to a lack of members for a quorum. Recruitment has continued and it is expected there will be members soon to reach a quorum, but not before adoption of the FY 25/26 budget.

Staff projects $1,200,000 in revenue for FY 2025-2026. The following departments are partially funded by Measure S funds. Measure S funds approximately 54% of these services.

Parks $ 887,517
Recreation $ 995,435
Animals $ 142,905
Community Engagement $ 172,826
Admin Costs (CDTFA) $ 12,000
Total $ 2,210,683
General Fund Revenues
General Fund Revenues are projected to be $526,840, an increase from the previous year. Most of this rise is attributed to higher property tax-related revenues. Additional increases are expected in projected Utility User Tax revenues.

General Fund Expenditures
General Fund expenditures are budgeted at$480,590, which is higher than the previous year's budget.

The primary reasons for this increase include higher costs in the CAL FIRE contract, as well as benefits and liability insurance.

Other increases in the General Fund are due to normal operating cost increases for supplies, in addition to staff cost of living adjustments.

The Water Fund
For the FY 2025-2026 budget, the Water Enterprise Fund is expected to incur a deficit of approximately $246,503 in the Fiscal Year. However, the expenditures include $1,579,081 for Capital Projects, with $467,511 of that amount being Grant Funded. The planned Capital Projects align with the Water and 416
Sewer Rate Study conducted in 2021.

Wastewater Operating Fund
The Wastewater Operating Enterprise Fund is projected to operate with a deficit of $3,414,876 for the fiscal year. Capital projects are budgeted at $3,080,778 for the fiscal year, financed through enterprise reserves. Some of these projects carry over from the previous fiscal year and were not completed.

Solid Waste Fund
The Solid Waste Fund is shown as balanced. As noted in the General Fund section, Franchise Fee residual is transferred to the General Fund each year.

Successor Agency
The Successor Agency (Former RDA) Fund is a Private Purpose Trust Fund, meaning that the City of Soledad acts as an agent for the State of California regarding these funds. The only expenditures are debt service payments and administrative costs associated with the bonds.

Conclusion
As stated earlier, this budget is presented as a “Status Quo” budget. Several issues are on the horizon that will require strategic attention as the City continues to grow and pursue its vision statement and its goal of fiscal stability. One of the issues we continue to monitor closely is the increase coming from PERS, which is affecting all jurisdictions. The City will need to engage in negotiations again for a CAL FIRE contract in FY 2025-2026 due to having only agreed to a one-year contract while we continue to look for ongoing funding for fire department staffing.

I would like to thank the City Council, City Manager, and City Staff for their continued partnership that has allowed us to effectively meet the challenges we face and seize new opportunities as we move forward.

Financial Considerations
As indicated in the attached budget documents, the General Fund, as presented in the proposed budget, is balanced for FY 2025-2026.

Review and Analysis
Ongoing challenges:
• Normal revenue increases are not keeping
pace with day-to-day expense increases, such
as PERS and salary and benefits
• City infrastructure is aged and in need of
maintenance
• Current ongoing General Fund expenses do not
allow for reserve set aside
• CAL FIRE increase to 3-0 staffing
• Sunset of Measure Y is approaching (2032)
432
General Fund
• In June 2022 the City Council amended
Administrative Policy/Procedure No 4000-16,
to increase the established General Fund
Reserve to $2,000,000
• In June 2022 the City Council established a
General Fund Capital Projects Fund.

Projected balance at the end of FY 25-26
is $7.3 million
433
General Fund
• The FY 25-26 General Fund budget is presented
as balanced, using $510,541 from operating
reserves.
• If FY 24-25 closes as planned and FY 25-26
goes as anticipated, the General Fund should
be approximately $5,351,194 minus the
$2,000,000 Emergency Reserve allocated by the
Council, leaving a total of $3,651,194.

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad Consider and Adopt Resolution No. 6249, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving a Contract Change Order for Construction Services with Monterey Peninsula Engineering for the Amount of $32,144 for a TotalNot-to-Exceed Amount of $480,038 for the Soledad Fire Department Aerial Apparatus Bay (Phase 1) Project and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Said Contract Change Order on Behalf of the City of Soledad”.

Executive Summary
This change order for the Aerial Apparatus Bay Project, Phase 1, includes the additional scope of work to have Monterey Peninsula Engineering (MPE) apply concrete sealer to protect the apparatus bay foundation surface and to have MPE furnish and install motors to overhead doors. The concrete sealer would help protect the surface floor of the building from general wear and tear and further extend the useful life of the building. Additionally, motorizing the doors for the app bay is a safety requirement, enabling a quick response time, eliminating the need to open the doors manually in an emergency.

Given that these expenses will be covered through the fire impact account, respective budget amendments will need to be coordinated to capture them in the current fiscal year budget and the next fiscal year budget of FY25/26. Therefore, Staff is recommending that the City Council consider and approve both the proposed contract change order in the amount of $32,144 and the respective budget amendments.
752
Background
The City received funding through a State of California earmark from Senator Caballero for $2 million to purchase a new fire engine with a ladder attachment. Subsequently, on January 11, 2023, the Soledad City Council authorized the purchase of a 2023 Sparta/Smeal 105-foot Quint Aerial Apparatus (Ladder Truck). Unfortunately, the existing fire station bay is too small for this new apparatus, requiring the construction of a new apparatus bay to house and protect the ladder truck. As a result, City Council authorized Staff to initiate design work for the new apparatus bay.

Design of the Soledad Fire Department Aerial Apparatus Bay Project was completed in two phases 1 – the pre-fabricated building and foundation; and Phase 2 – site improvements and utility connections necessary for the siting of the new apparatus bay.

On May 15, 2024, Council approved a contract for construction services with MPE in the amount of $359,000 plus 5% Contingency for a total not to exceed $376,950 for Phase 1 of this project.

On August 21, 2024, the City Council approved a contract for construction services with MPE in the amount of $858,343 plus 10% Contingency ($85,834) for a total not to exceed $944,177 for the Soledad Fire Department (CALFIRE) Aerial Apparatus Bay Project Phase 2 of this project.

On May 7, 2025, the City Council approved a contract change order for Construction Services with MPE in the amount of $70,344 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $447,294 for the Soledad Fire Department Aerial Apparatus Bay (Phase 1) Project.

One reason there have been multiple change orders on this project is that the City used American Rescue Plan Act funds to construct the bay, and there were strict expenditure deadlines. This led to an expedited design process that did not fully consider the needs of the Fire Department, leaving out critical items such as the motors for the roll up doors.

Review & Analysis
This project is nearing completion with the recent installation of the overhead doors, wharf hydrant, and fire sprinklers (above and underground portions). The contractor is preparing for the concrete pours for the driveway approaches and tidying up miscellaneous items in anticipation of the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Given the investments the City has made towards this project and ensuring the best possible final product, Staff has requested an owner-initiated contract change order for this project phase.

This contract change order includes the additional scope of work for MPE to perform a concrete floor sealer to protect the surface of the new fire app bay. This application provides a multitude of benefits, primarily aimed at extending the service life of the concrete foundation surface. Given the size, weight, and frequency of the ladder truck to be used, tire marks, stains, and other various scuffs and damages will begin to accumulate. Therefore, Staff has researched various products, and the best option is to mimic a similar product utilized at other Fire Stations that CalFire has already vetted. The product we plan to utilize is the Retro Pel Flooring Coating through Master Painting and Coatings.

In addition to the concrete floor sealer, this contract change order also includes the additional scope of work to have MPE furnish and install motors to achieve motorized doors at the fire app bay. When the project was originally put out to bid, the electrical design was in the midst of being completed and therefore was not available during the bidding process. To ensure that the City had at the very least overhead doors as part of the base bid, Staff moved forward with requesting manually operated doors 753
and would then incorporate the motors for the doors once the electrical design and connection were confirmed to work. MPE recently completed the electrical work for the PG&E tie-in and is currently waiting to be energized by PG&E. Therefore, Staff is requesting that the City Council consider and approve this contract change order for $32,144, for a total not-to-exceed amount for Project Phase 1 of $480,038.

Financial Considerations
This contract change order and additional funding request shall be funded through the use of Fire Impact Fees. The breakdown of the costs so far is as follows:
$359,000 Original Construction ContractAmount
$17,950 Construction Contingency (5% of the Original Contract) $17,194 CCO 1: Fire Sprinkler Design, Riser, and Inspection (Approved through Contingency) $70,344 CCO 2: PG&E Plan Revision, Underground Portion of Fire Sprinkler Work, Additional Quantities & T&M Work
$600 CCO 3: The purchase and installation of a bolt-down lid for the Oil Sand Separator (Approved with contingency)
$32,144 CCO 4: Concrete Floor Sealer and Motorized Doors $480,038 New Construction Amount
Considering the timing in which the work is to be completed, the work will straddle across two fiscal years. Change Order No. 4 in the amount of $32,144 will be funded through the use of Fire Impact Fee Funds and will require two budget amendments to the Capital Improvements line item of the Fire Impact Fee Fund (Fund 772); one in the amount of $15,000 for FY 24/25 and the second in the amount or $17,144 for FY 25/26.

Alternatives
Approve the resolution as presented; or
Modify the resolution; or
Do not approve the Resolution. This is not recommended, as approving this contract change order will protect one of the City’s biggest investments and would ensure a longer life service of the app bay.

Planning/CEQA
The Soledad Fire Department Aerial Apparatus Bay Project, which involves the installation of a metal prefabricated building next to an existing fire station, is Categorically Exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Guidelines Section 15332 – Infill (Class 32).

SUBJECT: Update on the City’s Ongoing Immigration Efforts and Work of the Ad Hoc Committee on Immigration
TO: Honorable Mayor Anna Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Megan Hunter, City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 18, 2025

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad receive and file this update on the City’s ongoing immigration-related efforts, including the work of the Ad Hoc Committee on Immigration, outreach activities, and current state legislation and federal actions.

Executive Summary
Since reaffirming its Sanctuary City status in 2017 and again in response to renewed federal immigration rhetoric in late 2024, the City of Soledad has continued to take proactive steps to support immigrant families through its Ad Hoc Committee on Immigration. The Committee has guided efforts to expand legal education, promote rights awareness, and provide discreet, accessible resources— including the launch of an immigration resource webpage, distribution of 3,000+ “red cards,” and a well-attended “Know Your Rights” workshop in partnership with the Watsonville Law Center. The City also engaged in confidential legal collaboration with other jurisdictions and tracked key state legislation aimed at limiting immigration enforcement on school campuses and safeguarding vulnerable populations. While supporting several bills, the Committee remains cautious about legislation that may unintentionally impact local public safety. With a strong focus on community trust, the City continues to ensure all residents—regardless of immigration status—feel informed, protected, and supported
Background
In 2017, the Soledad City Council adopted a resolution officially declaring Soledad a Sanctuary City, affirming that local law enforcement would not participate in federal immigration enforcement actions.

The resolution was designed to protect immigrant families while clarifying that it does not shield individuals from criminal prosecution. This policy remains in effect today.

Following the election of President Donald Trump in November 2024 and the administration’s renewed rhetoric around immigration raids, the City Council reaffirmed its commitment to the 2017 Sanctuary 760
City resolution. On December 18, 2024, the Council established an Ad Hoc Committee on Immigration, appointing Mayor Pro Tem Cabrera and Councilmember Caldera to lead the effort.

Review & Analysis
Since its formation, the Ad Hoc Committee has met three times and provided direction in several key areas:

Development of educational outreach
Creation of a centralized webpage of immigration resources Exploration of potential legal avenues
Monitoring of state legislation related to immigration enforcement One of the Committee’s primary objectives has been fostering collaboration with organizations such as the Watsonville Law Center, local nonprofits, and regional partners to ensure coordinated efforts and access to resources.

Know Your Rights Workshop:

On January 29, 2025, the City partnered with the Watsonville Law Center to host a "Know Your Rights" workshop, which over 150 community members attended. This event focused on educating residents about their legal protections during immigration encounters. In addition, the City has promoted six similar workshops in Soledad and South Monterey County. The City also coordinated with the Mexican Consulate to bring two document clinics to Soledad, assisting over 600 individuals in obtaining essential documents to prepare for the increase in immigration raids.

Distribution of “Red Cards”:

The City has distributed more than 3,000 “red cards,” which outline immigrants’ rights and provide emergency contacts. Originally introduced in 2017, the cards have been updated and redistributed to ensure community-wide access to accurate information.

Online Immigration Resource Hub:

A dedicated Immigration Resources webpage was launched and is accessible at:
https://www.cityofsoledad.com/departments/community-engagement/immigration-resourcesrecursos-de-inmigracion/ The site features dozens of English and Spanish resources, including videos on immigrant rights and links to legal and social service providers.

Legal Strategy and Confidential Collaboration:

While the City chose not to engage in formal litigation against the federal government concerning the withholding of funds from sanctuary cities, it is considering a Community Interest Agreement with other jurisdictions. This agreement enables the confidential sharing of legal strategies, documents, and analyses related to Sanctuary Jurisdiction issues.

The Committee has also discussed the potential impact on federal funding for Sanctuary Cities. The Department of Justice placed the City of Soledad on a Sanctuary City list with the intent to use it for determining federal funding. Although the list has since been removed, there is still concern about the City's future should that situation arise. Our lobbyist, Townsend Public Affairs, prepared a memo discussing the latest developments on the “Legality of Trump Administration Attempts to Rescind Federal Funding for Entities with Policies Not Aligned with Administration Priorities” (Attachment A).

It was agreed that the City would continue to apply for grant funding while monitoring the impact of competing for federal funds.
761
Legislative Advocacy:

The Committee has closely followed proposed state legislation that may impact immigration enforcement policies. Below is a summary of key bills under consideration (Attachment B):

Government Committee
The Committee has expressed general support for AB 49 and SB 98 due to their focus on protecting students and schools from unnecessary immigration enforcement. The City has already sent a letter of support for AB 49. City will move forward with sending letters of support for the legislation. However, Committee members have requested further clarification regarding SB 635, expressing concern about its potential impact on the Police Department’s ability to address criminal behavior related to street vending.

The Committee recommended supporting the legislation in line with the Council’s platform, and letters are being prepared and sent out. However, the Committee sought more detail about SB 635 because they did not want to inadvertently endorse a measure that could negatively affect the Soledad Police’s ability to enforce criminal activity.

The City of Soledad continues to take meaningful and proactive steps to support immigrant families within our community. Through the efforts of the City Council's Ad Hoc Committee on Immigration, the City has expanded access to vital information, promoted legal education, advocated for key state legislation, and fostered partnerships that strengthen community safety and trust.

The Committee has been particularly mindful of the vulnerability many undocumented residents feel, especially regarding public visibility. Recognizing that fear of exposure can prevent individuals from seeking help, the Committee has emphasized the importance of providing resources in discreet and accessible ways. This includes offering virtual tools, multilingual content, and strengthening collaboration with trusted community-based organizations that can deliver support "under the radar" in a culturally competent and trauma-informed manner.

The City remains committed to standing with immigrant families, including those who may not feel 762
Attachment A - Memo on Federal Funding Conditions and Sanctuary Jurisdictions
Attachment B - Memo on Immigration Related Legislation
safe speaking out publicly. We recognize the need to create an environment where all residents— regardless of immigration status—feel respected, protected, and supported.

In this spirit, the Committee also acknowledged and expressed appreciation for the statement issued by Acting Police Chief Lombardi, reaffirming the Soledad Police Department’s commitment to serving all community members equally, without regard to immigration status. This message of trust and reassurance plays a critical role in strengthening the City’s relationship with immigrant residents and reinforcing Soledad’s values of dignity, equity, and inclusion.

Financial Considerations
There is a minor fiscal impact related to staff time and the services of our contracted City Attorney. The time of the staff involved in this Committee work has been budgeted for FY 25/26.

Alternatives
This is merely an update of the Committee work and discussion of the City’s efforts on immigration.

The City Council may discuss and provide additional direction.

Planning/CEQA
The receipt of this update and related discussion is not considered a project for purposes of CEQA since it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect impact on the environment. (See CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.)

Subject: Memo on Legality of Trump Administration Attempts to Rescind Federal Funding for Entities with Policies Not Aligned with Administration Priorities Since taking office, President Donald Trump has issued several Executive Orders (EO) aimed at withholding or impounding federal funding for “sanctuary jurisdictions” that prevent local resources from being used to support immigration enforcement. Similar EOs have sought to prevent public agencies from accessing federal funding for a variety of policy positions that are not in alignment with the Administration.

Given the number and variety of provisions in the EOs that may impact federal funds based on compliance with the Administration’s policies, the following analysis aims to outline potential limitations on Presidential authority to impound or otherwise hinder the management of Congressionally appropriated federal funding.

The Administration briefly published a list of “Sanctuary Jurisdictions Defying Federal Immigration Law” in the last week of May, before removing it on June 1.

Primary Purpose and Disclaimer
Core Question: What legal authority does the Administration have to mandate affirmative cooperation with their priorities? The question is centered on a requirement for active and/or proactive cooperation with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration enforcement initiatives outlined in multiple Executive Orders.

Please note that this is a political analysis that, while based on significant legal research and made in consultation with lawyers and sources in government, is not a legal or attorney's work product.

Background and Basis for the Question
764
On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed EO 14159 titled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion”, which, among other things, directs the Attorney General and the Secretary of DHS to “evaluate and undertake any lawful actions to ensure that so-called ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions’ “do not receive access to federal funds.” Following this EO, the President also signed EO 14218, titled “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders” on February 19, 2025, which directs federal agency heads to “ensure, consistent with applicable law, that Federal payments to States and localities do not, by design or effect, facilitate the subsidization or promotion of illegal immigration, or abet so-called ‘sanctuary’ policies that seek to shield illegal aliens from deportation.” More recently, on April 28, 2025, President Trump issued another executive order, EO 14287, titled “Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens.” This order directs federal agency officials to “identify appropriate Federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions, including grants and contracts, for suspension or termination, as appropriate.”
As a result, some federal agencies have implemented new policies to enforce the EOs. The Department of Transportation (DOT) issued a directive to “require local compliance or cooperation with Federal immigration enforcement and with other goals and objectives specified by the President of the United States or the Secretary.” On April 24, 2025, DOT notified funding recipients that, pursuant to the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, it was expected that grantees “comply with Federal law enforcement directives and to cooperate with Federal officials in the enforcement of Federal immigration law.” The Secretary further stated that “noncompliance with applicable Federal laws, or failure to cooperate generally with Federal authorities in the enforcement of Federal law, will jeopardize continued receipt of Federal financial assistance from DOT and could lead to a loss of Federal funding from DOT.”
Additionally, on April 4, 2025, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner sent a letter to HUD grantees and stakeholders expressing his intent “to effectively implement” the President’s EO, “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders,” in order to ensure “that the federal resources distributed by HUD shall be primarily focused on benefiting American citizens and other qualified recipients, not illegal aliens.” According to the letter, “going forward, grant agreements will include language that will require compliance with Executive Order 14218 and the Department will take steps to ensure that Federal resources are not used to support ‘sanctuary’ policies of state and local jurisdictions that actively prevent federal authorities from deporting illegal aliens.” Primer on Executive Branch Limitations in Imposing Conditions on Federal Funding Under the Spending Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has broad authority to restrict the use of federal funds and to impose conditions for recipients to receive those funds. Given this broad authority, conditions imposed by the President or federal agencies may violate the principles of Separation of Powers under the Constitution by intruding on Congress’s authority to appropriate federal funding.

Congress can and has at times endowed the Executive Branch with the authority to impose funding conditions on particular programs. The primary exception arises when the Executive Branch encounters constitutional limitations, which generally fall into four categories:

1. Clear Notice: Established by the Supreme Court in 2006 in Arlington Central School Dist.

Board of Ed. V. Murphy, funding conditions must provide clear instructions and be unambiguous in what they are asking of recipients.

2. Pertinence: In South Dakota V. Dole the court required funding conditions relate to the underlying purpose of the federal funding.
765

3. Directly unconstitutional: a funding condition cannot be generally violative of the Constitution, even if seemingly permissible by law.

4. Coercive: A funding condition cannot be unconstitutionally coercive – it cannot generally, or in effect, compel a recipient to adopt a federal regulatory program as a condition of funding. a. In the 2012 decision in National Federation of Independent Business V. Sebelius, the Supreme Court laid out a series of criteria for coercive riders to federal policy, including assessing the nature of the required changes to a recipient’s program and the amount of funding at stake (as a percentage of budget) to determine whether the funding condition gives the recipient a choice whether to decline the funding or essentially forces the recipient to accept the terms.
b. The example used in this decision is the federal condition that in order for a State to receive Federal highway funding, the drinking age in that State must be 21 years of age or older. The Court found that this was not coercive, since the Federal highway funding generally constituted less than 5% of the State’s budget, and that because the condition was structured in such a way that it pertained to drinking and driving, it was pertinent to the purpose of the funding.

Breakdown of Two Cases from President Trump’s First Term (2017-2021) The Ninth Circuit in City and County of San Francisco V. Trump (2018) affirmed a federal district court’s ruling that EO 13268 (2017) titled, “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States,” directing the withholding of federal grants to “sanctuary jurisdictions” was unlawful. The executive order specified that “jurisdictions that willfully refuse to comply with 8 U.S.C. § 1373 “are not eligible to receive Federal grants, except as deemed necessary for law enforcement purposes by the Attorney General or the Secretary.” 8 U.S.C. §1373 (Section 1373) provides, among other things, that “notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any governmental entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, (DHS) information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.”
The Ninth Circuit held that, “under the principle of Separation of Powers and in consideration of the Spending Clause, which vests exclusive power to Congress to impose conditions on federal grants, the Executive Branch may not refuse to disperse the federal grants in question without congressional authorization.” The court determined that the Trump Administration failed to show that Congress authorized it to condition federal grants based on compliance with Section 1373.

In New York V. Department of Justice (2020), however, the Second Circuit ruled that the Department of Justice (DOJ) could impose a funding condition that requires compliance with Section 1373 on Byrne Justice Assistance grants (Byrne JAG). The court explained that the certification provision in 34 U.S.C. § 10153 (Section 10153) covers both laws relating to the Byrne JAG and laws that apply to the state or local governments seeking a grant, including Section 1373.

The Second Circuit rejected the claim that requiring compliance with Section 1373 violated the anticommandeering doctrine under the Tenth Amendment, stating that the plaintiffs did not show that, with regard to the denial of Byrne JAG funding, “such a loss represents so significant a percentage of their annual budgets as to cross the line from pressure to coercion.” The Second Circuit held that the remaining funding conditions were authorized by other Section 10153 provisions that require grantees to meet certain reporting and coordination requirements. While New York initially sought the Supreme Court’s review, they withdrew after the DOJ (then under the President Biden) removed the applicable funding condition. 766
Summary of Current Challenges to 2025 Executive Orders by President Trump After signing EO 14159 titled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion,” and EO 14218, titled “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders” cities and counties challenged them, arguing that the Administration lacks the authority to impose conditions on the receipt of federal funds allocated by Congress, and that its actions unconstitutionally compel state and local governments to enforce federal immigration policies. A separate lawsuit brought by the City of Boston specifically challenged the inclusion of immigration related funding conditions in future HUD grant agreements.

A Federal Court in California issued a preliminary injunction at the end of April that blocked enforcement of the EOs and a DOJ memo that sought to comply with them. In its summary order, the court explained that the 2018 decision in the San Francisco case holding that the Trump Administration lacked authority to condition federal grants on Section 1373 compliance remains in effect. The Court further stated the directives in the 2025 EOs to withhold funding violate the Separation of Powers doctrine in the same manner as in 2018.

The court also declared, among other things, that the withholding of funding violates the Tenth Amendment because it “imposes coercive conditions intended to commandeer local officials into enforcing federal immigration practices and law.”
Application to Potential DOT and HUD Funding Conditions Because the authorization of federal grants is individual to the program and applicable department, and the amount of available funding in each program varies widely, courts will likely have to individually consider how the EOs affect each grant and grant recipient.

As it pertains to Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and Secretary Turner’s announcement that “the Department will take steps to ensure that Federal resources are not used to support ‘sanctuary’ policies of state and local jurisdictions that actively prevent federal authorities from deporting illegal aliens,” the law underlying CDBG (42 U.S.C. § 5304(b)(6)) requires grantees to “certify to the satisfaction of the Secretary” that “the grantee will comply with the other provisions of this chapter and with other applicable laws.”
The language “other applicable laws” could be used to make the same argument the first Trump Administration made in New York V. Department of Justice -- that federal immigration law, specifically Section 1373, is contained in the “other applicable laws” provision and therefore conditioning federal funding on it is within the Administration’s authority. Furthermore, Secretary Turner’s announcement included references to 8 U.S.C. § 1611(a), which generally prohibits unlawfully present aliens from receiving federal public benefits; and 42 U.S.C. § 1436(a), which prohibits HUD from making financial assistance available for the benefit of unlawfully present aliens.

Despite this, other conditions may continue to apply. For CDBG, the amount of funding could be considered substantial enough for local jurisdictions that the funding condition would be considered coercive and not optional. Or, as in the 2018 San Francisco case, the purpose of CDBG could be considered as not more than incidentally pertinent to immigration enforcement, and therefore the funding condition would be invalid.
767
The Department of Transportation’s statement that failure to cooperate with immigration enforcement could result in loss of funding did not identify any law that would endow the Department with that authority. Although it referenced the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution and a criminal immigration statute concerning the harboring or smuggling of undocumented immigrants, these provisions do not directly relate to the administration of federal funding. However, the Secretary argues that the Administration may impose funding conditions based on a recipient’s cooperation with DHS immigration enforcement efforts under these statutes.

Despite the pretext for these arguments, a section of the 2018 District Court decision in the City and County of San Francisco V. Trump explicitly undermines this pretext, stating that Congress had considered and not passed legislation directly seeking to codify the goals of the 2018 EO. More recently, a different District Court in California has held that the more recent EOs are similarly violative. This is despite the later opinion in the New York case allowing the grant condition on Byrne JAG funds.

Future Considerations and Conclusion
The Supreme Court has yet to make a determination rectifying the differences between the New York and San Francisco cases from 2018 and their opinions. Until they do so, Courts appear to be assessing individual claims based on two factors:

1. Is there a specific statute in the grant program authorization that allows the Executive Branch to impose the condition?

2. Is the condition violative of the Constitution in some other way? By being:
a. Overly coercive.
b. Impertinent.
c. Unclear/Improper notice.
d. Otherwise directly unconstitutional.

The core remaining question for the Supreme Court will likely center on tension between the Separation of Powers and the Supremacy Clause, specifically pertaining to the modern application of the Enumerated Powers section in the Constitution. It is likely to ask, does the Supremacy Clause allow the federal government to force local jurisdictions to take affirmative action in support of a federal policy?
Based on these considerations, even if the Trump Administration can rely on some statutory authority to restrict funding to “sanctuary jurisdictions,” its exercise of that authority cannot exceed the spending power granted in the Constitution. For the funding condition to survive in the courts, the Administration would need to provide adequate notice to funding recipients, and the specified condition must be related to the underlying purpose of the grant program. Additionally, the financial inducement that the Administration offers with the funding condition attached could not compel the recipient’s acceptance of the condition, and the condition could not violate or induce another jurisdiction to violate another constitutional provision.

In California, the state has its own law likely qualifying it as a “sanctuary jurisdiction” under the EOs.

Therefore, it is possible that a local jurisdiction administering federal funding under a funding condition like the ones outlined in the EOs would have their federal funding revoked after refusing a request by DHS that would violate state law. At which point, the California Department of Justice would have to intervene and determine the best course of action for the local jurisdiction. 768
The legal framework being used to assess the sanctuary jurisdictions funding recissions will also likely apply to other funding conditions the Administration has proposed, such as the President’s recent comments suggesting he might seek to withhold federal funding over transgender participation in youth sports, pursuant to a clause in a January Executive Order. 769
