TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Beatriz Trujillo, Community and Economic Development Director and Kimberly Herrera, Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2025

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No.6302, “Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with Benitez Security Services, Inc., Extending the Agreement Term Through January 25, 2026, and Increasing the Total Contract Amount to an Amount Not to Exceed $195,750” for continued provision of 24-hour unarmed security services at the ERF Provisional Encampment.

Executive Summary
The City of Soledad is implementing the Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF-3) Program in partnership with the County of Monterey to transition individuals from the Salinas River encampment into safe and stable housing. While the development of the modular Interim Housing Site is underway, participants were temporarily relocated to 990 Los Coches Road in February 2025. To ensure safety and stability at this provisional encampment, the City contracted with Benitez Security Services, Inc. ("Benitez Security") for 24-hour unarmed security coverage. Since the development of the interim housing is taking longer than expected, it is recommended that the Council approve an amendment to extend the term to January 26, 2025, and increase the contract by $40,230. This extension will ensure uninterrupted security during the final phase of preparation for the Interim Housing Site.

Background
On January 17, 2024, the City Council authorized staff to partner with the County of Monterey to jointly develop and submit an application for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program. On April 18, 2024, the County of Monterey was awarded $4,726,964 for the Salinas River/Soledad Encampment 43 Project, with $2,691,087.60 sub-granted to the City of Soledad to develop an Interim Housing Site and provide related services.

In February 2025, due to significant health and safety concerns, the riverbed encampment required provisional relocation to 990 Los Coches Road while the development of the Interim Housing Site is in progress. The County awarded the City an additional $193,331.60 to support provisional relocation and operational costs. As part of this effort, the City entered into an agreement with Benitez Security Services, Inc. on May 20, 2025, for 24-hour unarmed security services at the ERF-3 Provisional Encampment Site. Benitez Security has provided consistent coverage, maintaining participant safety, supporting compliance with site rules, and ensuring the security of nearby residents and businesses.

Since the execution of the contract with Benitez Security, three amendments have been approved.

Amendment No. 1 extended the contract to September 28, 2025, and increased the contract amount to $100,224. Amendment No. 2 extended the contract to October 31, 2025, and increased the contract to $127,872. Amendment No.3, extending the contract terms through December 5, 2025, and increasing the contract amount by $27,468 for a new total not to exceed $155,520. At this time, the City Council is being asked to review and consider approval of Amendment No. 4, which would extend the contract to January 26, 2026 and increase the total contract amount to an amount not to exceed $195,750.

Review & Analysis
Approval of Amendment No. 4 will ensure the City continues to maintain 24-hour security coverage at the provisional encampment site through January 25, 2026. This short-term extension is essential to support participants as they transition to the new Interim Housing Site, anticipated to open in December 2025, and will provide the City sufficient time to plan for ongoing security needs during construction of the new facility.

To ensure uninterrupted coverage throughout this transition period, staff recommend approval of Amendment No. 4, which:

Extends the contract term an additional seven weeks, through January 25, 2026 Increases the contract amount by $40,230 to continue security services Includes holiday pay rate adjustments for December and January (Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day), totaling $768 (72 hours × $16/hour differential) With these adjustments, the contract’s new not-to-exceed amount will be $195,750. The amendment will be fully funded through ERF-3 grant funds, with no impact to the City’s General Fund.

The City has made steady progress in developing the modular Interim Housing units; however, there is still work that needs to be completed to ensure full compliance with stormwater management, drainage requirements, and fire code regulations. While these improvements strengthen the long-term quality and safety of the project, they have delayed the move-in date for participants. In the meantime, security at the provisional site remains a vital safeguard.

Since May 2025, Benitez Security Services has played an essential role in maintaining safety and stability for both program participants and the surrounding neighborhood. Their staff provide roundthe-clock monitoring, enforce site rules, and act as a visible presence that reassures residents and businesses near the site. Without this coverage, risks to participant well-being and community confidence would increase significantly.
44 Resolution No. 6302
Exhibit A- Benitez Security Amendment No.4
Benitez Security Services has demonstrated reliability and effectiveness in providing site security and maintaining stability among participants. Their continued presence is critical until participants can relocate to the modular Interim Housing Site. Once the Interim Housing Site becomes operational, the need for 24-hour on-site security is expected to decrease significantly as individuals move into a more structured, service-supported environment. All other terms and conditions of the original agreement remain unchanged.

Financial Considerations
Amendment No. 4 will continue to be fully funded through ERF-3 grant funds. No General Fund dollars will be used.

Alternatives
Approve Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement with Benitez Security Services, Inc. (Recommended)
Do not approve Amendment No. 4. This alternative is not recommended, as it would result in a lapse in security services at the ERF-3 Provisional Encampment Site.

Planning/CEQA
Not a Project. The City of Soledad has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378) and is therefore exempt from CEQA analysis.

Public Notice Requirements
Not Required.

48 SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Resolution No. 6303, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving the Submittal of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application under the 2025 Funding Cycle
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Beatriz Trujillo, Community and Economic Development Director MEETING DATE: November 19, 2025

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 hold a Public Hearing to gather community input and provide direction to staff on the submittal of grant applications for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding under the 2025 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for up to $3.6 million.

Executive Summary
The City of Soledad is seeking financial support from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) via a competitive grant under the 2025 CDBG NOFA, which opens on December 1, 2025. The City has prepared three applications for funding: 1) Public Facility Upgrades for the Community Center; 2) New Homebuyer Assistance Program; and 3) Planning Grant Application for the construction plans and specifications for the proposed “Container Village” Project.

Background
The City held a public hearing on November 5, 2025, to announce the opportunity to apply for funding under the State 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Notices of Funding Availability (NOFA). The State has made approximately $27 million available for the 2025 funding year. As part of this competitive grant process, the City intends to apply for the maximum eligible allocation of $3.6 million to support community development activities that benefit the City of Soledad.

During the hearing, the City Council and members of the public were informed of the eligible activities under the 2025 CDBG NOFA, which include infrastructure support for new housing projects, housing acquisition, and rehabilitation programs, community facilities, public services, and planning studies.

All eligible activities under the State CDBG Program must meet one of the following National Objectives:
49 Benefit low- and moderate-income households or persons (LMI) Aid in the elimination of slums and blight, or
Address an urgent community development need arising from a state or federally declared disaster.

Following Council discussion, staff received directions to pursue funding for the following activities under the 2025 State CDBG Program: (1) Public Facilities- Community Center Improvements, (2) Homebuyer Assistance Program, and (3) a Planning Grant to develop construction plans for the Container Village Project. Each will be prepared to meet competitive criteria established by the State in order to maximize the City’s likelihood of securing funding.

Review & Analysis
The Council action will be to hold a Public Hearing to receive public comments, discuss the proposed projects, and consider adoption of Resolution No. 6303, authorizing the submission of applications for the three proposed activities. This Public Hearing is intended to provide residents with an opportunity to share their views on the proposed grant applications before final submission of the application.

The 2025 CDBG funding cycle opens on December 1, 2025, and closes on January 30, 2026. Because funding is awarded on a competitive basis, community input is a critical component in developing a strong application that reflects local priorities and community needs.

After receiving direction from the City Council on November 5, 2025, City staff met with the City’s grant consultant, Susan Long, who has over 30 years of experience in CDBG grant funding, to evaluate project eligibility and ensure alignment with the 2025 State CDBG Program requirements.

Following a thorough review of the grant guidelines and consideration of the City’s priorities as discussed with the City Council, it was determined that the City may apply for up to three (3) eligible activities, with a combined funding request not to exceed $3.6 million. The proposed activities for this grant are as follows:

1. Public Facilities application: Requesting $2,000,000 for upgrades to the Community Center.

Proposed improvements include HVAC system improvements, backup generator installation, restroom remodel for ADA compliance, trash enclosure, stormwater management, landscaping, interior and exterior lighting improvements, and EV charging stations. These upgrades will ensure access to the community's cooling/warming center while promoting a clean and safe environment, aligned with the city’s commitment to low water use and low-emission vehicles.

The city is eligible for these funds as 63% of the community qualifies as low-moderate income.

2. First Time Homebuyer Assistance Program application: Seeking $1.3 million to provide zerointerest deferred payment loans to eligible low-income households qualifying for a primary mortgage and contributing a minimum of $1,000 toward their down payment. This funding will cover down payment, closing costs, and gap financing, ensuring affordable monthly payments (28-32% of net household income). Under the CDBG Program, the City’s loan cannot exceed 49% of the property value, with no purchase price limit under the CDBG Program. City staff will also provide financial fitness and homebuyer education as part of the program.

3. Planning Grant Application: Seeking $300,000 for development of construction plans and specifications for the proposed “Container Village” project.

The CDBG Program provides critical funding that enables the City to invest in projects and programs 50 that directly benefit residents, address community infrastructure needs, and support long-term economic and housing stability. The goal of the City’s proposed activities is to enhance community facilities, expand homeownership opportunities, and advance local planning efforts that promote inclusive and sustainable development. In addition to project funding, a portion of the CDBG grant may be allocated toward administrative services, which could support the creation of a part-time position dedicated to managing the Homebuyer Assistance Program and assisting with the overall implementation and reporting requirements of the CDBG activities. This approach will strengthen the City’s capacity to effectively administer the program and ensure successful outcomes for all funded projects.

Therefore, staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 6303, authorizing the submittal of the 2025 CDBG applications for the projects noted above. Upon successful completion, staff will submit the applications through the State Grant Portal.

Financial Considerations
Securing CDBG grant funds will have no impact in the City’s general funds. If awarded, the grant will include provisions for both program administration and implementation, with no matching funds required. In addition, grant writing expenses are covered under existing contracts with Susan Long of Dragonfly Business Consulting, funded through the existing contract.

Alternatives
Accept staff recommendations to approve and submit the applications for funding under the 2025 CDBG NOFA.

Decline the approval and submittal of applications for further community or staff revisions.

Planning/CEQA
Pursuant to Section 21065 of the CEQA guidelines, a "project" is defined as a "whole action" subject to a public agency's discretionary funding or approval that has the potential to either (1) cause a direct physical change in the environment or (2) cause a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The proposed consideration is to submit applications in response to the 2025 CDBG NOFA. This action will not cause a direct physical change to the environment. Any development project resulting from the application and approval of the Homebuyer Assistance, the Community Center improvements as well as the Planning Grant Activities, may be subject to subsequent CEQA review and analysis. All federally funded activities are also subject to the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). NEPA reviews have been completed for all activities and are included in the application as follows:

General administrative activities and planning activities associated with the expenditure of funds are exempt.

The Homebuyer Assistance Program activities are categorically excluded, not subject to Section

58.5, therefore not requiring publication of a Notice of Intent/Request for Release for Funds.

Community Center improvements are also categorically excluded, subject 58.5 (1) (2) (3) (iii.) (A.) & (B.).

Public Notice Requirements
A public notice was published in the Salinas Valley Tribune on November 9, 2025 (see Attachment B), posted outside of the Soledad City Hall, and shared on the City’s website. 51 A. Soledad 2025 CDBG Application Resolution No. 6303 B. CDBG Public Hearing Notice No 2. 110525

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 waiver of reading, introduction and reading by title only Ordinance No. 779, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Soledad:

1. Repealing Chapter 15.08 of the Soledad Municipal Code Entitled ‘Adoption of California Building Code’; and

2. Adopting by Reference the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Codes, as follows:
a. (Part 1) 'California Administrative Code’

3. Adopting the '1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings' –With Exceptions; and

4. Adopting the '2024 International Property Maintenance Code' – With Exceptions.

Executive Summary
The State of California updates the California Building Standards Code (CBSC) every three years, with the 2025 edition becoming effective on January 1, 2026. Local jurisdictions are required to enforce the new codes, which include updated building, fire, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical standards emphasizing safety, energy efficiency, seismic resilience, and accessibility. The City’s contract Building Official, in collaboration with the Fire Marshal and Soledad Fire Department/CAL FIRE, has reviewed the new CBSC and recommends adoption with local amendments reflecting Soledad’s geographic and environmental conditions and maintaining consistency with other Monterey County jurisdictions. These amendments, included in the attached ordinance, largely continue existing City standards and incorporate local fire code provisions to ensure ongoing protection, including fire sprinkler requirements. The proposed ordinance is presented for City Council introduction and first reading, with adoption scheduled for December 3rd, 2025.

Background
The California Building Standards, comprised of codes regulating building, fire, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical conditions, are updated and revised every three years by the State of California. In January 2025, the State adopted the 2025 edition of the California Building Standard Codes (“CBSC”).

The codes were then published on July 1, 2025, and will become effective January 1, 2026, at which time all local jurisdictions are mandated to begin enforcement of these new codes and standards, regardless of action by the City Council.

The City’s contract Building Official has been monitoring the State adoption of these codes and is recommending a number of amendments to these building standards as identified in the attached ordinance. The majority of these amendments are being carried forward from the current Soledad Building Code or are being implemented to be consistent across jurisdictions in Monterey County, through meetings with the local chapter of the ICC and fire districts throughout the County. After review of the proposed amendments by City staff, including the contract Building Official, Fire Marshal, and the Soledad Fire Department/CAL FIRE, the proposed amendments are being presented to the City Council for introduction and first reading by title only. Upon introduction and first reading, the City Council will consider Ordinance No. 779, which is scheduled for adoption at a Public Hearing during the regular City Council meeting on December 3rd.

Review & Analysis
The new codes contain twelve (12) parts that incorporate the latest national standards in the International Building, Residential, and Fire Codes, National Electrical Code, and the Uniform Mechanical and Plumbing Codes. The new CBSC gives high priority to maintaining elevated levels of fire and emergency safety standards throughout the state. Access to persons with disabilities remains a high priority in California, and the standards include federal Department of Justice certification requirements, which ensure compliance with federal regulations. Additionally, the standards incorporate the latest seismic safety standards ensuring that buildings will be designed and constructed utilizing the latest technology to reduce loss in the event of an earthquake.

Key elements of the new codes include California’s ongoing commitment to being a leader in energy 60 efficiency. Among these changes include the ability to now construct homes and business that are solely electric if equipped with a solar photovoltaic systems. Additional updates enhanced energy efficiency standards for HVAC systems, new requirements for non-residential buildings, and provisions requiring new residential construction to be battery energy storage system-ready.

In addition, a new Part 7 California Wildland-Urban Interface code has been established by consolidating and relocating relevant chapters, sections and language from multiple parts of Title 24 to improve clarity and consistency.

In accordance with state law, local jurisdictions, through amendments, incorporate additional regulations that address special circumstances in the community, based on geographical, topographical, environmental or climatic conditions, provided said changes and modifications are not less restrictive than the State Codes. Amendments to the new CBSC must be adopted by the local jurisdiction and submitted to the State Building Standards Commission prior to enactment. Accordingly, the City’s Building Official, upon evaluation of both the new CBSC and building code amendments currently in effect, is proposing a number of local amendments to the CBSC. All of the amendments are supported by findings identified in the first part of the proposed ordinance.

The California Fire Code has been incorporated into the attached ordinance and is the source of the majority of proposed amendments. The City’s Fire Chief is recommending a number of local amendments to the model California Fire Code in order to maintain the high level of fire protection the City currently provides, including continuing the requirement for fire sprinklers in new commercial and residential occupancies. Again, many of these amendments are being carried forward from the existing Soledad Building Code or are being implemented to be consistent across jurisdictions in Monterey County.

Financial Considerations
The FY 2025–26 Community and Economic Development Department budget, under the Building Division, includes funding for the purchase of the newly adopted building code cycle books, which are required for reference and implementation. Staff has procured the necessary code books at a total cost of $1,800. No additional expenditures are anticipated.

Alternatives
Introduce and read by title only Ordinance No.779
The proposed ordinance complies with County and State law; therefore, taking no action will not affect the applicability of existing state and local regulations. However, the City Council may propose alternative language and provide direction to staff.

Planning/CEQA
The adoption of the proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). The action is largely administrative in nature and designed to improve and not degrade environmental quality such that there is no possibility that adopting this Ordinance would adversely affect the environment in any manner that could be significant. Therefore, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment, the proposed action is not subject to CEQA.
61 Ordinance No. 779
Public Notice Requirements
There is no formal notice required at this stage. Upon City Council acceptance of the first reading by title only, all noticing requirements for adoption will be initiated. The public hearing notice will be scheduled for publication in advance of the December 3, 2025 regular Council meeting.

15.08.010 Findings.

Pursuant to the authority provided by California Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, amendment of the codes referenced in this Chapter, as set forth below in individual sections, is necessary to serve the public interest by reducing the risk to life and/or property of the citizens of Soledad because of the following conditions:

A. The City is located in a seismically active area. The City is in close proximity to the San Andreas Fault, the longest and potentially most devastating earthquake fault in the State of California. The San Andreas Fault is considered to be potentially dangerous to areas which lie within 50 to 100 miles of its trace and lies a mere 13.4 miles to the northeast of Soledad. Although no active faults are located within the Soledad Planning Area, the loosely consolidated nature of underlying soils is likely to result in severe ground shaking and possible ground failure during strong earthquakes. Such factors also contribute to concerns regarding slope instability in the foothills and mountains surrounding the City. Seismic concerns require modification to the code provisions to ensure public safety and the integrity of existing and new structures.

B. Portions of the City are subject to flooding from the Salinas River and major storm water flows from the northeast hillside area of the City. During the 1990’s the City incurred damage from flooding on two separate occasions after heavy rainfall. Flooding and drainage concerns require modifications to the code provisions to ensure public safety and prevent or minimize potential property damage from floodwaters.
64 Ordinance No. 779

C. The City is subject to fire hazards. Portions of the City are located within a fire hazard zone. The abundance of natural grasses east of the city limits, west of the railroad tracks, and along the Salinas River Basin, when paired with the strong prevailing winds common to this region of Monterey County, presents a special risk to fire hazards. These hazards require modifications to the code provisions to ensure public safety and prevent or minimize fire risks to property within the City.

D. Findings for Residential Units Impacts: The changes or modifications relate to home hardening and are proposed for adoption by a local fire prevention district pursuant to 13869.7 Additionally, although not required by regional variations, certain adjustments to the administrative provisions of identified Code provisions are necessary in order to create a workable scheme of code enforcement within the City of Soledad.
