RECOMMENDATION
Receive the Year End Report and Safer Streets, Safer Futures Initiative Presentation for the Soledad Youth Council and Commissioner Program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

As the 2025–26 program year ends, this Year-End Report summarized the initiatives, accomplishments, and recommendations of the Soledad Youth Council and Commissioners Program. Pedestrian and street safety emerged as a leading priority among members, particularly along routes to schools, City parks, and youth activity centers. In response, the Youth Council and Commissioners formally adopted the Safer Streets, Safer Futures initiative as the program’s primary focus.

In addition to advancing this initiative, 12 members actively participated in the rebranding of the program, the Regional South County Youth Summit, and various leadership development, civic engagement, and community advocacy efforts throughout the year.

These collective efforts reflected the program’s mission to empower high school students to participate in local government, amplify youth perspectives, and foster positive community change through service, advocacy, and civic involvement.

Presenting: Cindy Alcaraz, Giovanni Bravo, and Marilyn Ramirez-Peña

BACKGROUND
7 The Soledad Youth Council and Commissioners Program was established to foster civic engagement, leadership development, and community participation among high school youth in Soledad. The program serves as a youth advisory body to the City Council and is supported by the Parks and Recreation Department and Community Engagement Manager. The program provides structured opportunities for youth leadership, civic engagement, and community involvement through structured projects, service activities, and collaboration with City departments and regional partners.

Throughout the academic year, the Youth Council and Commissioners met regularly to discuss issues affecting local youth and to identify opportunities that supported broader community goals.

Each program year, members select a primary initiative based on identified student and community needs, allowing participants to develop leadership skills while contributing to meaningful local and regional efforts.

At the beginning of the 2025–2026 program year, Youth Councilmembers and Commissioners spent time building relationships, learning about City operations, and participating in a youth-led rebranding effort. During this time, members also identified pedestrian and street safety as a significant concern, particularly along routes to schools, City parks, and youth activity areas.

Students identified issues related to crosswalk visibility, traffic speed, pedestrian accessibility, and overall safety in areas frequently used by youth and families.

In response, the Youth Councilmembers and Commissioners formally adopted Safer Streets, Safer Futures as its primary initiative. In addition to advancing this initiative, members actively participated in the Regional South County Youth Summit and engaged in leadership development, civic engagement, and community advocacy efforts throughout the year.

REVIEW & ANALYSIS
Safer Streets, Safer Futures Initiative
Following the adoption of the Safer Streets, Safer Futures initiative, the Youth Council and Commissioners identified specific areas of concern throughout the community. To support the initiative, members established three working committees: Assessment, Research, and Outreach.

The Assessment Group surveyed multiple locations recommended by the Youth Council and Commissioners. Following review and discussion, three sites were identified as priority locations:
 Monterey Street and Park Street
 Third Street
 Orchard Lane and Metz Road
These locations were selected based on pedestrian activity, proximity to schools, parks, and youthserving areas, and observed safety concerns.

The Research Group reviewed established safety frameworks, including Safe Routes to School and Vision Zero principles. Members also researched pedestrian safety enhancements utilized in 8 comparable communities, including crossing beacons, lighting improvements, signage, and visibility enhancements.

Using data collected from site visits and committee research, the Youth Council and Commissioners prepared a presentation and met with key staff to gain insight into street maintenance practices, safety evaluation criteria, and infrastructure improvement processes.

The Youth Council and Commissioners subsequently presented their findings to Public Works staff and the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC). As a result of the presentation, members collaborated with TAMC on the Sidewalk Art Project, which took place on April 4, 2026, in front of San Vicente Elementary School.

The project educated community members of all ages on the importance of recognizing and understanding traffic signs through an engaging and interactive activity.

Below is a summary of the identified concerns and recommendations for each priority location:

Location Key Safety Concern Youth Council Recommendation Orchard Lane and Metz Road  No crosswalk from the
Hartnell College to Third St
 Faded crosswalk
 High pedestrian activity from
local elementary & local

 General high vehicle/traffic
activity
 Create 4-way crosswalk
 Crosswalk re-application
 Install sensor street lighting
 Install pedestrian crossing

Monterey Street and Park Street  High pedestrian activity due to park access
 No established crosswalk
 High traffic traveling at high
speeds
 Limited visibility, especially

 Create crosswalks
 Add stop signs
 Brighten street lightbulbs
 Consider pedestrian crossing

 Vehicles failing to make
complete stops
 Limited visibility due to cars

 Consider pedestrian cross
symbol
 Crosswalk re-application
 Reinstall stop bar/legend
 Construct curb-extensions
 Consider enforcement
In addition, the Youth Council and Commissioners recommended pursuing grants and additional funding sources to support roadway and pedestrian safety improvements, as well as continuing to seek Youth Council and Commissioners feedback on future traffic and infrastructure projects.

As part of the initiative’s outreach efforts, the Youth Council collaborated with the Public Works and Police Departments to develop two street safety educational videos. 9 South County Youth Summit (Regional Collaboration)
The Youth Council demonstrated strong leadership and regional collaboration through its participation in planning the third annual South County Youth Summit. The summit was designed to provide local youth with opportunities for leadership development, career exploration, civic engagement, and peer connection.

Youth Council members met consistently with the Youth Councils from the Cities of Gonzales and Greenfield to coordinate all aspects of the event, including program development, outreach strategies, workshop planning, volunteer and participant coordination, and event logistics.

One of the Youth Council’s primary responsibilities was coordinating a resume-building and workforce readiness workshop. Members proactively partnered with Hartnell College to assist with the development and implementation of the workshop.

The workshop focused on early career preparation by helping participants develop professional resumes and gain practical knowledge about career pathways. The session was well organized and positively received by summit participants.

Overall, the South County Youth Summit was a successful event that provided youth with valuable opportunities to engage with peers from neighboring communities, build leadership skills, and gain practical tools and knowledge to support their personal, academic, and professional growth.

The summit also reinforced the importance of regional collaboration and youth voice in shaping stronger communities. By working together across city boundaries, the Youth Councils of Soledad, Gonzales, and Greenfield created a meaningful and empowering experience that encouraged civic engagement, confidence-building, and community connection among South County youth.

OTHER ACTIVITIES:
 In addition to the Safer Streets, Safer Futures initiative and South County Youth Summit, the Youth Council and Commissioners participated in the following activities:
 Participated in the Toledo Basin Park Workshop, where members provided youth perspectives to help shape the concept design.
 Hosted a Holiday Parade activity booth featuring a Rice Krispies treat decorating activity.  Participated in Holiday Crafts at Eden Valley to connect with seniors and give back to the community.

CONCLUSION
The 2025–2026 Youth Council and Commissioners Program successfully provided local youth with opportunities to develop leadership skills, engage in civic participation, and contribute meaningful input on community issues impacting Soledad residents.

Through the Safer Streets, Safer Futures initiative, members demonstrated initiative, collaboration, and advocacy by identifying pedestrian safety concerns, conducting research, engaging with City 10 staff and regional partners, and presenting recommendations aimed at improving safety for youth and families throughout the community.

In addition, members strengthened regional partnerships through their involvement in the South County Youth Summit and participated in a variety of community engagement and volunteer activities throughout the year.

Overall, the program continued to support the City’s commitment to youth engagement by empowering students to actively participate in local government, community service, and civic leadership.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Youth Council and Commissioner Program operates on an annual budget of approximately $20,000, which supports three paid interns and program activities.

Assistant City Manager Mike Howard added that the City is not calling “Tacos with the Team” a Budget Workshop because community members have explained that attendance will be low as there is not widespread interest in the budget. By broadening the meeting to allow the public to be heard and get their questions answered, we are likely to have more turnout. As part of “Tacos with the Team”, we can explain to the people where money comes from and how the money is spent.

47 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6365, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving the Purchase of a Replacement Central Gear Drive Unit for Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Secondary Clarifier #1 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Purchase from SPS Engineering in an Amount not to Exceed $55,000
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Don Wilcox, Public Works Director and Carla James, Water Resources Manager
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and adopt Resolution No. 6365, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving the Purchase of a Replacement Central Gear Drive Unit for Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Secondary Clarifier #1 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Purchase from SPS Engineering in an Amount not to Exceed $55,000.”
Executive Summary
The central gear drive unit for Secondary Clarifier #1 failed earlier this year, leaving the WRF with only one functioning secondary clarifier, resulting in a loss of redundancy. SPS Engineering is the original manufacturer and sole source provider of this replacement gear drive equipment, which has an estimated lead time of 14-16 weeks. This equipment purchase will initiate the manufacturing by SPS Engineering, starting a critical timeline to get this secondary clarifier back in service before the fall rainy season.

The central gear drive unit costs $46,900.00. In addition, the estimated freight cost is $1,400.00.

Including tax ($4,338.25), the total is $51,238.25. To cover any increases in the estimated freight cost, the total purchase amount requested has been increased to $55,000.00. This provides approximately $3,761.75 in contingency.

The installation of the central gear drive unit will be performed by a separate contractor, still to be identified. Staff will be soliciting an upcoming competitive bid request for installation services while this specialized equipment is being fabricated by SPS Engineering. This timeline will ensure that both the equipment and the contractor are project-ready.
48 Background
The City of Soledad’s (City’s) Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) includes two spiral scraper secondary clarifiers that were installed as part of the original WRF layout in 2010. Each circular clarifier is ninety feet in diameter and consists of a central drive unit, two rotating rake arms, lower scraper blades, upper skimmer blades, a scum pipe collector, and a catwalk (bridge) that extends over the basin to allow Operators to access the center.

As the name implies, clarifiers are designed to “clarify” or “clear” the wastewater. Secondary clarifiers are integral to the secondary wastewater treatment process at the WRF, as they help remove Activated Sludge that forms and accumulates in the upstream Biological Nutrient Reactor (BNR) basins. As Activated Sludge from the BNR basins flows up and into the central Energy Dissipating Inlet (EDI) and subsequent feedwell of the clarifier, solids begin to rapidly settle out on the floor, which is angled towards the center.

The lower scraper blades help push and direct the solids into a withdrawal hopper and lower collection pipe. Some of the collected solids are sent back (returned) upstream to the BNRs as Return Activated Sludge (RAS), and a portion is diverted to the Sludge Stabilization Basins (SSBs) as Waste Activated Sludge (WAS). Wastewater Operators balance the RAS/WAS amounts based on operational conditions and maintain a thick sludge blanket (approximately 3-4 feet deep) at the bottom of the clarifier and over the hopper to prevent short-circuiting.

A Limitorque® actuator installed above the catwalk adjusts the angle of the scum collector pipe as each rotating arm makes a revolution. As the upper skimmer blades near the surface of the clarifier trap floating solids, the solids are deposited into the scum collector pipe that is positioned directly underneath the catwalk. Floating scum solids are transferred to the SSBs via an intermediary scum pit.

Clarified, or clear water, essentially free of most scum and/or solids, flows over effluent weirs that surround the outer edge of the clarifiers and to the Equalization (EQ) Basin downstream.

The Secondary Clarifiers are vital to solids removal. Only a minimal amount of solids should be allowed to pass over the weirs and carry over into the EQ Basin. Solids that do get carried over are later removed by a flocculation and filtration process upstream of the UV Channels, but those processes are not designed to handle large amounts of solids.

Shown below is an overly simplified flowchart representing the main treatment processes.

Influent --> BNRs (Activated Sludge) --> Secondary Clarifiers --> EQ Basin --> Flocculation --> Filtration --> UV Disinfection --> Effluent
Review & Analysis
Earlier this year, the central gear drive unit on Secondary Clarifier #1 failed, and the WRF is currently operating with only Secondary Clarifier #2 in service, leaving no redundancy for solids removal. A single clarifier can handle the current incoming flow volume, but without redundancy, the treatment process is at significant operational risk.

Staff contacted SPS Engineering, based in Salt Lake City, to inquire about a replacement gear drive unit. SPS Engineering is the sole source manufacturer that fabricated the original Secondary Clarifiers.

No other manufacturer fabricates or sells this specialized clarifier equipment. 49 Item Cost
Cage Drive Unit Type DC96184225N8-
36/48
Taxable $46,900.00
Freight Estimate (4-day Transit Time) $1,200.00
Subtotal $48,100.00
Tax (9.25%) $4,338.25
Total $51,238.25
SPS Engineering provided a quote with the following items and associated costs:

SPS Engineering estimates that the lead time on the drive unit will be 14-16 weeks. The timeline for equipment procurement and future installation is critical. Secondary Clarifier #1 will need to be drained and kept dry for the duration of the installation, which necessitates that this project be completed in the dry months, before the rainy season. Otherwise, when groundwater levels rise, there is a possibility that the clarifier itself would “pop” or “float” free from the ground due to buoyancy – an event that would be disastrous to the WRF.

The equipment installation will need to be performed by a separate contractor with a background in replacing heavy equipment. Staff is currently searching for contractors with the skill set and experience to handle a project such as this, which will require a large crane to hoist the equipment. In setting up the project, the contractor who wins the bid will be required to hire an SPS Engineering representative who will guide the new drive, help field-test, and advise on adjustments when rotating (to set torque).

SPS Engineering included field site visit pricing in their quote, and those costs will be communicated in the scope of work for the forthcoming bid solicitation.

Financial Considerations
Clarifier improvements were not specifically included in the Capital Outlay - Improvements for FY 2025/2026 (Budget Line 310-0000-57000).

Recently, Staff earmarked $200,000 for clarifier improvements in the upcoming FY 2026/2027.

However, since this purchase needs to be completed as soon as possible, given the extended lead time of 14-16 weeks, funding will come from unfunded or underfunded project savings in Capital Outlay - Improvements for FY 2025/2026.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This project is consistent with Objective 3.4.1 – Upgrade and modernize water, wastewater, and stormwater systems for long-term sustainability and efficiency. Specifically, the Strategic Plan identifies the implementation of Wastewater System Modernization through secondary process upgrades.

Alternatives
Adopt the attached resolution.

Do not adopt the attached resolution. This is not recommended, as the WRF is currently running with only one Secondary Clarifier in service, eliminating process redundancy.

Planning/CEQA
50 Resolution No. 6365.docx
Exhibit A
The replacement of failed Clarifier #1 is categorically exempt under CEQA pursuant to Section 15301(d) – Existing Facilities. This Class 1 categorical exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures and facilities, where the activity involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use of the site.

Public Notice Requirements
None required.

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No.6366, “Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No.4 to the County of Monterey Standard Agreement for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program-Round 3 (ERF-3) to Increase Funding by $30,000 for a Total not to Exceed Amount of $612,756."
Executive Summary
The County of Monterey has identified an additional $30,000 in Encampment Resolution Funding Program – Round 3 (ERF-3) contingency funding and proposes allocating those funds to the City of Soledad through Amendment No. 4 to the existing Standard Agreement. Approval of the proposed amendment would increase the total Standard Agreement amount from $582,756 to a not-to-exceed amount of $612,756 to support ongoing operational and administrative needs at the Sendero Interim Housing Site. The additional funding will support continued site operations, including maintenance, utilities, program administration, and operational oversight necessary to maintain the facility in a safe and functional condition. The proposed amendment will not impact the City’s General Fund, as the additional funding has been identified through County ERF-3 contingency funds. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4.

Background
On January 17, 2024, the City Council authorized City staff to collaborate with the County of Monterey in the development and submission of an ERF-3 application addressing the Salinas River/Soledad Encampment. The County submitted the application on January 31, 2024, and on April 18, 2024, 58 received notification from the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) of its intent to award $4,726,964 for the project. As part of the partnership, the County subgranted funding to the City of Soledad to support implementation activities associated with the project.

Prior to the ERF-3 award, the City and County had already been coordinating cleanup and response efforts related to the Salinas River encampment through a County-funded Standard Agreement originally executed on April 8, 2024, in the amount of $25,000 and later administratively amended to a total of $40,000.

Following the County’s ERF-3 award, the City and County executed Amendment No. 3 to the existing Standard Agreement to incorporate ERF funding. On August 21, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 6147 authorizing the City Manager to accept up to $2.5 million in ERF-related funding through two separate agreements with the County: (1) a Standard Agreement to support salaries, operations, and program administration, and (2) an Agreement for Professional Services to support the development of the Sendero Interim Housing Site. The amended Standard Agreement included $542,756 in ERF funding in addition to the previously authorized $40,000 in County funding, for a combined total of $582,756.

On February 19, 2025, the City Council, through Resolution No. 6199, further authorized the acceptance of an additional $200,000 through the Agreement for Professional Services for the ERF-3 Program to support development-related expenses associated with the Sendero Interim Housing Site.

To date, the City Council has authorized the acceptance of up to approximately $2.7 million in ERFrelated funding from the County of Monterey, including $2,148,331.60 under the Professional Services Agreement and $542,756 under the Standard Agreement, for a combined total of $2,691,087.60.

The Sendero Interim Housing Site was successfully completed in early March 2026, and participants previously residing in the provisional encampment were relocated to the new facility. Sendero continues to provide a safer and more stable environment while supporting housing stabilization efforts and access to supportive services for participants as they transition toward permanent housing opportunities.

Review & Analysis
The Sendero Interim Housing Site was successfully completed in early March 2026, and participants previously residing in the provisional encampment were relocated to the new facility. Sendero continues to provide a safer and more stable environment while supporting housing stabilization efforts, case management, and access to supportive services for participants transitioning toward permanent housing opportunities.

Since occupancy of the site, the City has continued evaluating operational and administrative needs necessary to maintain ongoing operations through the duration of the ERF-3 program. The County of Monterey has identified an additional $30,000 in available ERF-3 contingency funding and has proposed allocating those funds to the City of Soledad through Amendment No. 4 to the existing Standard Agreement for the ERF-3. Approval of Amendment No. 4 would increase the total Standard Agreement amount from $582,756 to a not-to-exceed amount of $612,756.

The additional funding would support operational and administrative costs associated with the continued operation and management of Sendero, including facility maintenance and upkeep, utility expenses such as water, sewer, and electricity, and other operational services necessary to maintain the site in a safe, sanitary, and functional condition. The proposed amendment would also support 59 Resolution No. 6366
Exhibit A - Amendment No. 4
Attachment 1 - Standard Agreement
Attachment 2 - Amendment No. 1
Attachment 3 - Amendment No. 2
Attachment 4 - Amendment No. 3
continued program administration and coordination efforts by City staff to ensure ongoing delivery of services and operational oversight for participants residing at the site.

Approval of the proposed resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4 to the County of Monterey Standard Agreement for the ERF-3, increasing the agreement amount by $30,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $612,756.

Financial Considerations
The proposed amendment will not impact the City’s General Funds, as the County has identified and agreed to provide additional contingency funds for the Sendero Interim Housing Site.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This item advances Goal 2.3.2 of the City Council Strategic Plan: “Implement comprehensive homelessness solutions grounded in Housing First and interim-to-permanent strategies to achieve functional zero homelessness.” Continued funding for the Sendero Interim Housing Site supports the City’s ongoing commitment to providing stable interim housing, operational continuity, and coordinated wraparound services for participants through June 30, 2027, while assisting individuals in transitioning toward permanent housing opportunities.

Alternatives

1. Approve Amendment No. 4 to the County of Monterey Standard Agreement for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program- Round 3 (ERF-3).

2. Do not approve Amendment No. 4. This alternative is not recommended, as it would interrupt services for participants and the continuity of operations for the site.

Planning/CEQA
The ERF-3 amendment to accept additional funding does not constitute a “Project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Soledad has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment.

Public Notice Requirements
Not required.

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Soledad City Council consider and adopt Resolution No.6367, “Approving an Electronic Signature Policy.”
Executive Summary
California has adopted statutes regulating the use of electronic signatures, including Civil Code Section 1633.1 et seq., otherwise known as the “Uniform Electronic Transactions Act,” and California Government Code Section 16.5. The City of Soledad now desires to adopt an Electronic Signature Policy that comports with the law to implement guidelines for the use and acceptance of electronic signatures in conducting official City business. The proposed policy authorizes the use of electronic signatures in lieu of manual signatures and establishes when an electronic signature may replace a manual signature. Staff believes that the use of electronic signatures is a safe and secure practice that will increase administrative efficiencies and customer service and will result in a reduction in the use of paper.

Background
In 2000, the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (“UETA”) became effective in the State of California. [1] UETA authorizes use of electronic signatures for transactions and contracts among parties in California, including governmental agencies. The State Legislature passed AB 2296 in 2016 to clarify that a digital signature may also be used to satisfy the requirements of an electronic signature under UETA.

While electronic and digital signatures have been widely used in the private sector for some time, such as for certain real estate and mortgage transactions, they have only gradually evolved to use in the government sector. The Covid pandemic, which limited personal contact, provided incentive to look for alternative means of gathering signatures for City documents. Although the City has been experimenting with electronic signatures (at the request of contractors and other public entities) and 90 signature facsimiles for some time, the City’s current official and preferred practice is to require manual signatures on most legally binding documents. As in many other cities, Staff believes that the use of electronic signatures is a safe and secure practice that will increase administrative efficiencies and customer service. As such, Staff is now recommending that the Council adopt a policy to guide the use of this technology.
[1] UETA is similar in content to the federal law allowing the use of electronic signatures, The United States Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, which was also adopted in 2000.

Review & Analysis
Generally, there are two types of electronic methods recognized by state law that the City can use to legally sign or execute documents: electronic signatures and digital signatures. UETA basically provides that if a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law. An electronic signature is defined in the UETA as “an electronic sound, symbol or process attached to or logically associated with an electronic record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.” This is the simpler of the types of electronic means to sign documents. Depending on the circumstances, an electronic signature may include a person’s name or initials typed at the end of an email.

The other type of electronic means to sign documents is a digital signature. The California Government Code provides, “In any written communication with a public entity…in which signature is required or used, any party to the communication may affix a signature by use of a digital signature that complies with the requirements of this section.” The Government Code defines “digital signature” as “an electronic identifier, created by computer, intended by the party using it to have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature.”
Examples of documents on which electronic and digital signatures can be used are contracts for goods or services, contracts approved by resolution or minute order, settlement agreement contracts approved by the City Council, routine personnel transactions, and resolutions and ordinances approved by the City Council.

The two electronic signature platforms in common use in the state and with which the City is familiar, DocuSign and Adobe Signature, are both electronic signature programs with some digital technology used to secure documents. Both adhere to security standards set forth in the law and offer a means to sign, send and manage documents.

Staff has now prepared a policy for the use of electronic signatures for Council consideration and recommends adoption of the same.

Financial Considerations
There should be no significant costs associated with the use of electronic signature technology.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Adoption of the Electronic Signature Policy is consistent with Strategic Plan Internal Operations Goal

10.4- Modernize Technology and Fleet Infrastructure to Support Efficient, Secure and Resilient City Operations. The use of electronic signatures will support the City’s goal of ensuring that the City is delivering high-quality, efficient and responsive services by providing a modern, secure and timely means for increasing administrative efficiencies in completing contracts, agreements and other types of 91 Resolution No. 6367
Exhibit A
internal and external documents.

Alternatives
Adopt the proposed Resolution approving the Electronic Signature Policy.

Do not adopt the proposed Resolution approving the Electronic Signature Policy. This is not recommended as Staff believes the use of electronic signatures is beneficial to effective City business and contributes to efforts to reduce paper use.

Planning/CEQA
The proposed Electronic Signature Policy is not a project as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as the policy does not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Public Notice Requirements
None required.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOLEDAD

APPROVING AN ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE POLICY
WHEREAS, electronic signature technology has become increasingly popular and allows public entities to collect and preserve signatures on documents quickly, securely and efficiently; and
WHEREAS, under California law, the use of electronic signatures by public entities is at the option of the parties involved in a given transaction; and WHEREAS, The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”), codified at Civil Code Section 1633.1, et seq., generally governs the use of “electronic signatures” by parties to a transaction, while Government Code Section 16.5 governs the specific use of “digital signatures” (a type of electronic signature) by and in transactions with public entities; and WHEREAS, the use of electronic signatures has the same legal effect as manual or “wet” signatures; and
WHEREAS, the benefits of electronic signatures include, but are not limited to, reductions in the use of paper, time and costs associated with transmitting, approving, executing and securing physical documents; and
WHEREAS, since City staff has increasingly been asked to execute contracts electronically under the provisions of the UETA, the City should have an adopted policy authorizing the use of electronic signatures; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to implement industry best practices using electronic signatures to effectively execute and manage documents in accordance with California state law; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to use electronic signatures to the fullest extent allowed by law without compromising security.

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

Section 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.

Section 2. The City of Soledad Electronic Signature Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and by this reference is incorporated herein, is hereby approved.

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE POLICY
I. PURPOSE
The City of Soledad (“City”) seeks in this Electronic Signature Policy (“Policy”) to implement guidelines for the use and acceptance of electronic signatures used to conduct official business of the City. This Policy allows the use of electronic signatures in lieu of manual signatures, when permitted by law, and establishes when an electronic signature may replace a manual signature.

II. LEGAL BACKGROUND
California has adopted statutes regulating the use of electronic signatures including Civil Code Section 1633.1 et seq., otherwise known as the “Uniform Electronic Transactions Act” (“UETA”) and California Government Code Section 16.5. This Policy and the guidelines and procedures hereunder are intended to comply entirely with all applicable laws and regulations including, without limitation, the aforementioned statutes.

C. This Policy seeks to mitigate the risks associated with conducting transactions, transmitting information and maintaining public records that use electronic signatures.

IV. DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply to this policy.

A. Digital signature has the same meaning as in Section 16.5 of the California Government Code: an electronic identifier, created by computer, intended by the party using it to have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature. A digital signature is a type of “electronic signature.”
B. Electronic signature has the same meaning as in Section 1633.2 of the California Civil Code: an electronic sound, symbol or process, attached to or logically associated with an electronic record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the electronic record.

Exhibit A
95 C. Transaction has the same meaning as in Section 1633.2 of the California Civil Code: an action or set of actions occurring between two or more persons relating to the conduct of business, commercial, or governmental affairs.

D. UETA means the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as found at Section 1633.1 of the California Civil Code.

V. GENERAL POLICY RULES
A. Use of Electronic Signatures. The City authorizes and encourages the use and acceptance of electronic signatures in internal or external City business, documents and transactions, including resolutions and ordinances, when it is operationally feasible, where technology permits, and when it is otherwise appropriate at the discretion of the City Manager.

All such uses shall be in accordance with the UETA and Section 16.5 of the California Government Code and any other relevant law.

B. Internal City Business. Where the City requires that various internal documents be approved by an employee, supervisor, department head or other staff, upon City Manager authorization, approval of such documents may be signified by electronic means as a replacement for a manual signature. Use of electronic signatures for internal documents that create or impose a legal or fiduciary duty, such as contracts or agreements, should be approved by the City Manager prior to execution.

C. External Electronic Transactions and Communications. In any transaction or communication with the City for which the parties have agreed to conduct the transaction or communication by electronic means, including but not limited to contracts and amendments, grant documents, and applications, the following provisions apply:

Depending upon the circumstances, the City may require a higher level of signature verification. Nothing in this Policy prohibits a City official or employee, with the consent of the City Manager, from requiring a wet signature or higher form of secure electronic signature if she or he believes it is prudent or necessary.

I. Further Acts.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council: 1) receive a presentation from staff on City staffing vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts as set forth in Government Code Section 3502.3; 2) open the public hearing, allow for presentations by union representatives, allow for testimony by the public, and close the public hearing; and 3) provide any comments or direction to staff.

Executive Summary
AB 2561 is a law enacted to address job vacancies in local government, and to improve public service and manage workloads. It requires public agencies to report vacancy status and recruitment efforts during a public hearing at least once per fiscal year, especially if vacancies exceed 20% of authorized positions. The City has 87.8 full-time equivalent and 36 additional part-time temporary, and seasonal recreation positions with a total of 7 vacancies. For purposes of AB 2561, the City does not exceed the 20% vacancy threshold.

Background
AB 2561 was introduced to address job vacancies in local government, which adversely affects the delivery of public services and employee workload. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year. The bill was enacted into law and is codified as Government Code Section 3502.3. The new law became effective January 1, 2025. It requires that the public hearing be held before the budget is adopted.

Other specific requirements of Government Code Section 3502.3 include the following:

During the hearing, the public agency shall identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may create obstacles to the hiring process. 98 The recognized employee organization for a bargaining unit shall be entitled to make a presentation at the public hearing at which the public agency presents the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit.

If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20 percent of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the public agency shall, upon request of the recognized employee organization, include all the following information during the public hearing:

The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit.

The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit.

The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted.

Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions.

On May 7, 2026, Representatives from each labor group were notified of the public hearing.

Review & Analysis
The City is currently allocated 87.8 full-time equivalent positions. There are roughly 36 additional parttime temporary and seasonal recreation employees.

Of the 87.8 full-time equivalent positions, 68 are represented by two unions, which consist of the following:

Soledad Police Officers Association ("SPOA")
Service Employees International Union Local 521 (“SEIU”) Full-time staffing is allocated as follows:

Administration 4.8
Community and Economic Development 7
Community Engagement 2
Finance 3
Information Technology 2
Police 27
Recreation 4
Public Works 38
There are currently 7 vacancies:

Community Engagement Coordinator 1
Community Services Officer 1
Information Technology Manager 1
Police Officer 2
Water Reclamation Operator-In-Training 1
Water Reclamation Shift Supervisor 1
For purposes of AB 2561, the City does not exceed the 20% vacancy threshold. Currently, there are four 99 vacancies within the SEIU bargaining unit, which consists of 51 authorized positions, resulting in a vacancy rate of 7.84%. Additionally, there are two vacancies within the SPOA bargaining unit. Of the 17 authorized Police Officer and Police Sergeant positions, this represents a vacancy rate of 11.76%.

The remaining vacant position is unrepresented.

The City continues to implement a range of recruitment and retention strategies to support workforce stability. Recruitment efforts include posting vacancies on the City’s website, GovernmentJobs.com, industry-specific job boards, and outreach to potential candidates in the region, as well as advertising open positions through the City’s social media platforms.

Over the past 12 months, the City has hired 36 new employees, including 10 permanent full-time staff, 22 seasonal Recreation Leaders, and 4 part-time temporary employees.

To support employee retention, the City provides competitive compensation, a comprehensive benefits package, up-to-date Personnel Policies, and ongoing training and professional development opportunities. The City also offers alternative work schedules for most positions. The City's retention rate for 2025 was approximately 95.4%.

Financial Considerations
There is no cost impact from the recommended action.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This report directly supports Goal 10.3: Foster a Healthy Organizational Culture and Invest in Leadership and Employee Development, recruiting and retaining qualified employees maintains a low turnover rate and provides opportunities to strengthen leadership roles.

Alternatives
Receive information and take no action;
Provide direction regarding recruitment and retention efforts; or Provide other direction to staff.

Planning/CEQA
This agenda item is not considered a project for purposes of CEQA since it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect impact to the environment. (See CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.)
Public Notice Requirements
A public hearing has been scheduled in accordance with Government Code Section 3502.3, and representatives from each labor group were notified of the public hearing. 100

Executive Summary
The City of Soledad has five Assessment Districts formed to levy and collect assessments against the lots or parcels of land within such districts to pay for the costs and expenses of operating, maintaining, and servicing improvements and facilities located within public places within the boundaries of the Districts. All five Assessment Districts’ proposed levies follow FY 2025/2026 patterns; accordingly, the proposed assessment increases are attributable to the 3% annual adjustment for Rancho San Vicente-CHISPA and CPI inflation adjustments for the other four districts.

Background
In 2003, the City Council of the City of Soledad formed the Diamond Ridge Benefit Assessment District No. 1 (Diamond Ridge, Phase I); Diamond Ridge Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 (Miravale I, Phase I); and the Rancho San Vicente Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District. In 2006 the Council formed the Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District No. 1, and the Annexation No. 1 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II); Benefit Assessment District No. 2 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II). In January 2022 the Council approved the Liberty Court Annexation to the Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II) and also to the Benefit Assessment District No. 2 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II). All of these Districts were formed to levy and collect assessments against the lots or parcels of land within such districts to pay for the costs and expenses of operating, maintaining, and servicing improvements and facilities located within public places within the boundaries of the Districts.

Review & Analysis
With the formation of the various districts, as approved by the property owners pursuant to a mailed ballot election conducted in accordance with Article XIII D of the California Constitution, the City Council in subsequent fiscal years thereafter has the ability to impose the initial maximum assessment rate that was established at the year of formation which can be adjusted on an annual basis by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward area. Notwithstanding the fact that the maximum assessment rate is adjusted on an annual basis, the maximum assessment is not always assessed on all or any of the properties within a given district, and in some cases, where a district has been formed prior to the time that all of the involved public improvements have been constructed, properties may be assessed with a minimal assessment simply to cover administrative costs.

The City Council must declare its intention, by Resolution, to levy and collect assessments against the assessable lots and parcels of land within each District for that portion of the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027 to pay applicable operating, maintenance and service costs and expenses of identified improvements.

On the following page is a summary table showing maximum allowable assessments, recommended Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2026-2027 assessments and previous year’s assessments. Preliminary Annual Engineer’s Reports for each District are available for review in the City Clerk’s Office. On behalf of the City, DTA Public Finance, Inc. (DTA) reviewed all the City’s maintenance and benefit assessment districts’ fund balances and has recommended the following assessments for each of the districts for Fiscal Year 2026/2027:

All five Assessment Districts' proposed levies are following FY 25/26's patterns; and as such, the respective increases of the proposed assessments are due to the 3% annual adjustment for Rancho San Vicente-CHISPA and by CPI inflation adjustments for the other four districts.

The total assessment intended to be collected for the Rancho San Vicente Parks and Open Spaces Maintenance Assessment District is $869.58 per lot, which is an increase of $25.33 per lot compared to FY 2025-26.

Funds collected for this assessment are to be used for routine maintenance and dredging of the percolation pond, street sweeping, storm drain repair and maintenance, engineering plans and specifications, inspection and overhead.

The total assessment intended to be collected for the Diamond Ridge Parks and Open Spaces Maintenance District No. 1 (Miravale I, Phase I) is $491.32 per lot, which is an increase of $10.15 per lot compared to FY 2025-26. Funds collected for this assessment are to be used for maintenance of the parks, playgrounds, streets and landscaping, street landscape water charges, park water charges, park electrical charges, planter wall maintenance, sound wall replacement and painting, street lighting electrical and replacement.

The total assessment intended to be collected for the Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II) is $650.48 per lot, which is an increase of $53.38 per lot compared to FY 2025-26. Funds collected for this assessment are to be used for maintenance of the parks, streets and landscaping, street landscape water charges, park water charges, park electrical charges, planter wall maintenance, sound wall replacement and painting, street lighting electrical and replacement.

The total assessment intended to be collected for the Benefit Assessment District No. 2 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II) is $295.88 per lot, which is an increase of $7.16 per lot compared to FY 2025-26.

Funds collected for this assessment are used for routine maintenance such as street sweeping, repairs, replacement, electric current, supervision, debris removal, pest abatement, engineering and inspection, and any other items of work necessary and incidental for the proper maintenance and operation. 103
DTA has prepared and filed a Preliminary Engineer’s Report (“Report(s)”) for each District and recommends funding each District with the assessments shown in the table above. The Reports are available in the City Clerk’s office for review.

Staff is recommending that the City Council approve resolutions preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Reports, declaring the Council’s intent to levy and collect annual assessments in the amounts stated above for the Diamond Ridge Benefit Assessment District No. 1 (Diamond Ridge, Phase I); Diamond Ridge Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 (Miravale I, Phase I); Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District No. 1, Annexation No. 1 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II); Benefit Assessment District No. 2 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II); and the Rancho San Vicente Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 (collectively “Assessment Districts” or “Districts”), and to set a public hearing for consideration of the same for the June 17, 2026 Regular City Council Meeting at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. At the hearing, all interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to hear and be heard and to ask any questions on the above Assessment Districts.

Financial Considerations
All costs incurred by the City in the preparation and administration of the involved Assessment Districts will be charged against each district and paid by affected property owners.

Strategic Plan Alignment
The assessment districts are a key component of Strategic Plan Implementation by ensuring a ongoing funding source to maintain improvements of streets, parks, landscaping and open space, lighting, sound walls, and detention basins. Ensuring that the City can achieve multiple objectives including:

5.4.2 – Improve roadway conditions through data-driven maintenance and capital planning; and

5.5.1 – Transform key corridors through comprehensive streetscape design; and

5.5.2 – Strengthen pedestrian and bicycle connections between parks, neighborhoods, and housing developments; and

5.5.3 – Expand citywide urban forestry and green infrastructure; and

4.1.1 - Ensure all city parks and public spaces are safe, accessible, and vibrant through improved amenities, infrastructure, and connectivity.

Alternatives
Approve the proposed resolutions.

Do not approve the attached resolutions. This action is not recommended as the City has committed to operations and maintenance of these Districts which requires the recommended levies as necessary to fund the operations and maintenance of these districts.

Planning/CEQA
This action is not considered a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(4) because it adopts a method by which to create government funding mechanisms or constitutes other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

2. Final FY 2026 -27 assessment subject to change once the SF CPI for April becomes available.

A.3 Projected Annual Levy Adjustment
Finally, in addition to the costs listed above, certain levy adjustments will be made to account for any operating or capital reserve credits or required capital collections to the District’s reserve fund. As shown in Table 5, an Operating Reserve Credit of $40,000 and Capital Reserve Credit of $ 680 ,000 have been applied to offset the required Capital Reserve Collection of $77,980 . Therefore, a net total of $642 ,020 Reserve Fund Credit has been applied to the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 assessment.

B Annual Cost Indexing
B.1 City/District Administration, Printing, and Advertising With the passage of Proposition 218, any proposed increase in assessments must be approved by impacted property owners via a mail ballot and public hearing process, similar to these proceedings. A weighted simple majority of ballots received (weighted acc ording to each parcel’s proportionate assessment obligation) must be affirmative for the City Council to confirm and levy the increased assessments. For small assessment districts or districts with relatively low dollar assessments, the cost of an Enginee r’s Report , balloting, and the public hearing process can potentially exceed the total amount of the increase. The incidental costs of these proceedings may be added to the assessments, resulting in even higher assessments.

Therefore, indexing assessments annually to the published “San Francisco Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers” (“SF CPI”) allows for minor increases in normal maintenance and operating costs, without incurring the costs of ballot proceedings required b y Proposition 218. Any other significant changes to the District (e.g., increases in service, modification of the boundary, etc.) would still require Proposition 218 proceedings and, ultimately, property owner approval.

Thus, on each July 1, commencing on July 1, 2003, the maximum authorized unit assessment rates established in these proceedings will be indexed (increased) annually by a factor equal to the published April SF CPI from the preceding Fiscal Year .

The most recent data for the increase in the SF CPI is the increase between February 2025 and February 2026 and shows an increase equal to 2. 48%; however, the SF CPI increase from April 202 5 and April 202 6 will ultimately be used to calculate the maximum assessment . Therefore, on July 1, 202 6, the maximum assessment will thus be increased by the percent change from April 202 5 and April 202 6, for which this amount is not yet available and will be reflected in the Final Engineer’s Report.

Since the maximum assessment is likely sufficient to cover the cost estimates for improvements and other expenses for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , an amount equal to only the total projected costs will be assessed on the property within the District.

The assessment levy in future years may be any amount less than or equal to the maximum assessment in that year.

B.2 Collection Fees
The County Auditor/Controller also charges an additional 0.25% of the total amount assessed.

B.3 Reserve Collection/Transfer
The applicable law provides for a District Reserve Fund that provides for the collection of funds to cover District operations between July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) and the date on which the County remits first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills (typically January or February). Any negative amounts entries for this budget item represent transfers from the Reserve Fund to reduce the assessment in a given fiscal year. A fully funded Reserve enables the District to (i) c over operational expenses incurred in the six (6) months of the fiscal year, without any City funds from non -District accounts; and (ii) address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.

C Contributions from Other Sources
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred … ” In accordance with that provision, it is determined that there will be no general benefit from the Improvements in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 , as explained in Section VI of this Report.

D Annual Installments
The entire amount of the net assessment, as shown in Table 6 below , will be assessed in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 .

E Net Assessment
Pursuant to the foregoing, Table 6 shows the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 .

V ASSESSMENT ROLL
The Assessment Engineer has prepared an Assessment Roll for the District as required by applicable law, based upon the assessment methodology described in this Engineer’s Report. The Assessment Roll includes the net total assessment for Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 and shows the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 assessment, assessment number, Assessor’s Parcel Number, and land use designation for each parcel.

The Assessment Roll, as provided in Appendix A , lists the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers within this Assessment District by assessment number. The assessment numbers appearing on the Assessment and the names and addresses of the property owners are as shown on the last equalized assessment roll for taxes or as known to the Assessor of Monterey County.

All parcel information has been provided to DTA by the City Public Works Department, the previous Assessment Engineer, and the County of Monterey. 124

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
City of Soledad May 20 , 20 26
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Diamond Ridge BAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com

VI METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
A Background
Pursuant to the 1982 Act, the legislative body establishes and determines the “estimated benefit received” by each parcel from the Improvements.

In addition, Article XIIID of the California Constitution, added in November 1996 through the passage of Proposition 218 by voters of the State of California, requires, inter alia, that (i) only special benefits be assessable, (ii) no assessment may exceed the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel assessed, and (iii) publicly owned parcels shall not be exempt from assessment unless clear and convincing evidence demonstrates that such publicly owned parcels receive no special benefits from the improvements for which the assessment is levied.
“Special benefit” is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large. Importantly, the general enhancement of property value does not constitute special benefit . As such, this Engineer’s Report has been designed to comply with these requirements, as well as to incorporate recent California court decisions such as: Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008), Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010), Golden Hills Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011), and Concerned Citizens v. West Point Fire Protection District (2011) .

Methodologically, it is necessary and essential to identify the special benefit that the improvements, facilities, and services will render to the properties within the District. It is also necessary that the properties receive a special and direct benefi t as distinguished from benefit to the general public.

The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of analyzing the facts and determining the method and formula for apportionment of the assessment obligation to the benefited properties. For these proceedings, the City has retained the firm of DTA as the Assessment Engineer.

The Assessment Engineer makes his or her recommendation for the method of apportionment in this Engineer’s Report for consideration at the public hearing. However, the final authority and action rests with the City Council after hearing all testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council must make the final action in determining that the assessment has been made in direct proportion to the special benefit received.

In determining the net amount to be assessed upon parcels within the District, Section 22573 of the California Streets and Highways Code states that such amount “may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by ea ch such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
125
14 SECTION VI

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
City of Soledad May 20 , 20 26
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Diamond Ridge BAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
Proposition 218 further states that “no assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel,” where “special benefit” means “a particular and distinct benefit over and abo ve general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large.” This Section VI describes the methodology used to calculate the net amount to be assessed on each parcel within the District in proportion to the special be nefit conferred on each such parcel.

B Benefits of Improvements
The benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are shown in Table 7 below.

Table 7: Benefits from Landscaping Improvements
Landscaping Improvements

PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Diamond Ridge BAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
C Categories of Benefit
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel,” where “Special Benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.” It is therefore necessary to establish definitions of General Benefit and Special Benefit as such terms relate to the benefit to be derived from the Improvements.

The Improvements to be maintained and operated in the District were within or in areas in close proximity to the proposed developed residential lots. As a result, the developed residential lots in the District will receive 100% of the special benefits of the operation and maintenance of the Improvements. These benefits include enhanced neighborhood health and safety, improved quality of life from drainage, flood control and street improvements, protection of improved property, enhanced comfort, and increa sed desirability of the immediate surroundings of the residential units within the District. Importantly, because of the location of the improvements within or close to the District itself, there is no general benefit to properties outside the District or the community as a whole. Any such general benefit is so incidental and negligible that it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

D Allocation of Special Benefit to Parcels
In accordance with the provisions in the formation documents, the annual maintenance and operation budget is developed for improvements located in the entire Diamond Ridge Subdivision Project. As discussed previously, developed parcels in the District are the only parcels that derive special benefit from maintenance and operations and as such, must bear the cost of these activities. However, it is anticipated that as future subdivisions develop the assessments will be prorated to reflect the District’s pr oportionate share of the costs of a given operation and maintenance activity.

Importantly, Article XlllD provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. As a result, the following property will be considered exempt from the assessment: areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and right -of-way, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows:

Low Density Single - Family Residential = 1.0 Unit
Future Medium Density Residential = 0.8 Unit
E Amount of Assessment
Pursuant to the foregoing, Table 9 below shows the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 .

B Annual Cost Indexing
B.1 City/District Administration, Printing, and Advertising With the passage of Proposition 218, any proposed increase in assessments must be approved by impacted property owners via a mail ballot and public hearing process, similar to these proceedings. A weighted simple majority of ballots received (weighted acc ording to each parcel’s proportionate assessment obligation) must be affirmative for 156

City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Diamond Ridge Parks and Open Space MAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
the City Council to confirm and levy the increased assessments. For small assessment districts or districts with relatively low dollar assessments, the cost of an Engineer’s Report , balloting, and the public hearing process can potentially exceed the total amount of the increase. The incidental costs of these proceedings may be added to the assessments, resulting in even higher assessments.

Therefore, indexing assessments annually to the published “San Francisco Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers” (“SF CPI”) allows for minor increases in normal maintenance and operating costs, without incurring the costs of ballot proceedings required b y Proposition 218. Any other significant changes to the District (e.g., increases in service, modification of the boundary, etc.) would still require Proposition 218 proceedings and, ultimately, property owner approval.

Thus, on each July 1, commencing on July 1, 2003, the maximum authorized unit assessment rates established in these proceedings will be indexed (increased) annually by a factor equal to the published April SF CPI from the preceding Fiscal Year.

The most recent data for the increase in the SF CPI is the change from February 2025 to February 2026 and shows an increase equal to 2. 48%; however, the SF CPI increase between April 2025 and April 2026 will ultimately be used to calculate the maximum assessment. Therefore, on July 1, 2026, the maximum assessment will thus be increased by the percent change from April 2025 and April 2026, for which this amount is not yet availab le and will be reflected in the Final Engineer’s Report.

Since the maximum assessment is likely sufficient to cover the cost estimates for improvements and other expenses for Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 , an amount equal to only the total projected costs will be assessed on the property within the District. The assessment levy in future years may be any amount less than or equal to the maximum assessment in that year.

B.2 Collection Fees
The County Auditor/Controller also charges an additional 0.25% of the total amount assessed.

B.3 Reserve Collection/Transfer
The applicable law provides for a District Reserve Fund that provides for the collection of funds to cover District operations between July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) and the date on which the County remits first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills (typically January or February). Any negative amounts entries for this budget item represent transfers from the Reserve Fund to reduce the assessment in a given fiscal year. A fully funded Reserve enables the District to (i) c over operational expenses incurred in the 6 months of the fiscal year, without any City funds from non - District accounts; and (ii) address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.

V ASSESSMENT ROLL
The Assessment Engineer has prepared an Assessment Roll for the District as required by applicable law, based upon the assessment methodology described in this Engineer’s Report. The Assessment Roll includes the net total assessment for Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 and shows the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 assessment , assessment number, Assessor’s Parcel Number, and land use designation for each parcel.

The Assessment Roll, as provided in Appendix A , lists the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers within this Assessment District by assessment number. The assessment numbers appearing on the Assessment and the names and addresses of the property owners are as shown on the last equalized assessment roll for taxes or as known to the Assessor of Monterey County.

All parcel information has been provided to DTA by the City Public Works Department, the previous Assessment Engineer, and the County of Monterey. 159

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Diamond Ridge Parks and Open Space MAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com

VI METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
A Background
Pursuant to the 19 72 Act, the legislative body establishes and determines the “estimated benefit received” by each parcel from the Improvements.

In addition, Article XIIID of the California Constitution, added in November 1996 through the passage of Proposition 218 by voters of the State of California, requires, inter alia, that (i) only special benefits be assessable, (ii) no assessment may exceed the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel assessed, and (iii) publicly owned parcels shall not be exempt from assessment unless clear and convincing evidence demonstrates that such publicly owned parcels receive no special benefits from the improvements for which the assessment is levied.
“Special benefit” is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large. Importantly, the general enhancement of property value does not constitute special benefit . As such, this Engineer’s Report has been designed to comply with these requirements, as well as to incorporate recent California court decisions such as: Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008), Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010), Golden Hills Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011), and Concerned Citizens v. West Point Fire Protection District (2011) .

Methodologically, it is necessary and essential to identify the special benefit that the improvements, facilities, and services will render to the properties within the District. It is also necessary that the properties receive a special and direct benefi t as distinguished from benefit to the general public.

The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of analyzing the facts and determining the method and formula for apportionment of the assessment obligation to the benefited properties. For these proceedings, the City has retained the firm of DTA as the Assessment Engineer.

The Assessment Engineer makes his or her recommendation for the method of apportionment in this Engineer’s Report for consideration at the public hearing. However, the final authority and action rests with the City Council after hearing all testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council must make the final action in determining that the assessment has been made in direct proportion to the special benefit received.

In determining the net amount to be assessed upon parcels within the District, Section 22573 of the California Streets and Highways Code states that such amount “may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each su ch lot or parcel from the improvements.”

13 SECTION VI

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Diamond Ridge Parks and Open Space MAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
Proposition 218 further states that “no assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel,” where “special benefit” means “a particular and distinct benefit over and abo ve general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large.” This Section VI describes the methodology used to calculate the net amount to be assessed on each parcel within the District in proportion to the special be nefit conferred on each such parcel.

B Benefits of Improvements
The benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are shown in Table 7 below.

Table 7: Benefits from Landscaping Improvements

C Categories of Benefit
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel,” where “Special Benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.” It is therefore necessary to establish definitions of General Benefit and Special Benefit as such terms relate to the benefit to be derived from the Improvements.

The Improvements to be maintained and operated in the District were within or in areas in close proximity to the proposed developed residential lots. As a result, the developed residential lots in the District will receive 100% of the special benefits of the operation and maintenance of the Improvements. These benefits include enhanced neighborhood health and safety, improved quality of life from drainage, flood control and street improvements, protection of improved property, enhanced comfort, and increa sed desirability of the immediate surroundings of the residential units within the District. Importantly, because of the location of the improvements within or close to the District itself, there is no general benefit to properties outside the District or the community as a whole. Any such general benefit is so incidental and negligible that it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

D Allocation of Special Benefit to Parcels
In accordance with the provisions in the formation documents, the annual maintenance and operation budget is developed for improvements located in the entire Diamond Ridge Subdivision Project. As discussed previously, developed parcels in the District are the only parcels that derive special benefit from maintenance and operations and as such, must bear the cost of these activities. However, it is anticipated that as future subdivisions develop the assessments will be prorated to reflect the District’s pr oportionate share of the costs of a given operation and maintenance activity.

Importantly, Article XlllD provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. As a result, the following property will be considered exempt from the assessment: areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and right -of-way, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows:

Low Density Single - Family Residential = 1.0 Unit

DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO LEVY AND COLLECT ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS WITHIN PARKS AND OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1, ANNEXATION NO. 1 (ORCHARD VILLAS/MIRAVALE II) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027, AND SETTING A TIME AND PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING The City Council of the City of Soledad, California (hereinafter referred to as the “City”), does resolve as follows:

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Soledad has, by previous Resolution number 3868, formed the Parks and Open Space Maintenance Assessment District No. 1 as Annexation No. 1 (Orchard Villas/Miravale II) (hereinafter referred to as the “District”), and has, by previous Resolution number 5770, approved the Liberty Court Annexation to the District, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of California, beginning with Section 22500 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) and as provided by Article XIII D of the California Constitution, to levy and collect assessments against the lots or parcels of land within such district to pay for the costs and expenses of operating, maintaining and servicing improvements and facilities located within public places within the boundaries of the District; and,

PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II MAD No. 1 , Annexation No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com

III PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The plans, specifications, and studies of the Improvements for this District are voluminous and will not be bound in this Report, but by this reference are incorporated as if attached to this Report.

PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II MAD No. 1 , Annexation No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com

IV COST ESTIMATE
Applicable law requires the Engineer’s Report to contain an estimate of the costs of the Improvements for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , including estimates of (i) the total costs for Improvements for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , including incidental expenses, (ii) the amount of any surplus in the improvement fund to be carried over from a previous Fiscal Year, (iii) the amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part, (iv) the amount, if any, of the annual installm ent for the Fiscal Year where the legislative body has ordered an assessment for the estimated cost of any improvements to be levied and collected in annual installments, and (v) the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District. Est imates of these amounts are provided below.

The following describes the costs that are funded through the District.

A C osts of Improvements
A.1 Projected Annual Maintenance Costs
Included in the City’s Public Works Department Budget Request are estimated costs for the annual maintenance and servicing of all improvements within the District.

District direct maintenance expenses are estimated at $360,055 for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 as shown in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Projected Annual Direct Maintenance Costs
Item Description Cost Estimate
Landscape Maintenance (Easements) $159,211
Park Maintenance $101,100
Street Lights $76,906
Graffiti $22, 839
Reserve Collection/(Transfer) $0.00
Total* $360,055
*Note : Figures may not sum due to roundin g .

A.2 Projected Annual Administration Costs
In addition to the costs listed above, there will be costs attributed to the administration of the District. As shown in Table 3, the District administration costs are estimated to be $40 ,618 for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 . These costs are summarized below.

District Administration $5,28 2
Printing and Advertising $687
County Collection $3,673
Total * $40 ,618
*Note : Figures may not sum due to rounding .

A.3 Projected Annual Levy Adjustment
Finally, in addition to the costs listed above, certain levy adjustments will be made to account for any operating reserve credits or required capital collections to the District’s reserve fund. As shown in Table 4, an Operating Reserve Credit of $ 10,000 has been applied to offset the required Capital Reserve Collection. Therefore, a net total of $ 10,000 Reserve Fund Credit has been applied to the Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 assessment.

Table 4: Projected Annual Levy Adjustment
Item Description Cost Estimate
Capital Reserve Collection $0
Operating Reserve Credit ($10,000 )
Total ($10 ,000 )
B Annual Cost Indexing
B.1 City/District Administration, Printing, and Advertising With the passage of Proposition 218, any proposed increase in assessments must be approved by impacted property owners via a mail ballot and public hearing process, similar to these proceedings. A weighted simple majority of ballots received (weighted acc ording to each parcel’s proportionate assessment obligation) must be affirmative for the City Council to confirm and levy the increased assessments. For small assessment districts or districts with relatively low dollar assessments, the cost of an Enginee r’s Report , balloting, and the public hearing process can potentially exceed the total amount of the increase. The incidental costs of these proceedings may be added to the assessments, resulting in even higher assessments.

Therefore, indexing assessments annually to the published “San Francisco Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers” (“SF CPI”) allows for minor increases in normal maintenance and operating costs, without incurring the costs of ballot proceedings required b y Proposition 218. Any other significant changes to the District (e.g., increases in service, modification of the boundary, etc.) would still require Proposition 218 proceedings and, ultimately, property owner approval. 190
9 SECTION IV

COST ESTIMATE
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II MAD No. 1 , Annexation No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
Thus, on each July 1, commencing on July 1, 2007, the maximum authorized unit assessment rates established in these proceedings will be indexed (increased) annually by a factor equal to the publis hed SF CPI from the preceding Fiscal Year.

The most recent data for the increase in the SF CPI is the increase between February 20 25 and February 202 6 and shows an increase equal to 2.48%. Therefore, on July 1, 202 6, the maximum assessment will thus be increased by 2.48%.

Since the maximum assessment is likely sufficient to cover the cost estimates for improvements and other expenses for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , an amount equal to only the total projected costs will be assessed on the property within the District.

The assessment levy in future years may be any amount less than or equal to the maximum assessment in that year.

B.2 Collection Fees
The County Auditor/Controller also charges an additional 0.25% of the total amount assessed.

B.3 Reserve Collection/Transfer
The applicable law provides for a District Reserve Fund that provides for the collection of funds to cover District operations between July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) and the date on which the County remits first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills (typically January or February). Any negative amounts entries for this budget item represent transfers from the Reserve Fund to reduce the assessment in a given fiscal year. A fully funded Reserve enables the District to (i) c over operational expenses incurred in the 6 months of the fiscal year, without any City funds from non -District accounts; and (ii) address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.

C Contributions from Other Sources
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred … ” In accordance with that provision, it is determined that there will be no general benefit from the Improvements in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 , as explained in Section VI of this Report.

D Annual Installments
The entire amount of the net assessment, as shown in Table 5 below , will be assessed in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 .

E Net Assessment
Pursuant to the foregoing, Table 5 shows the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 .

V ASSESSMENT ROLL
The Assessment Engineer has prepared an Assessment Roll for the District as required by applicable law, based upon the assessment methodology described in this Engineer’s Report. The Assessment Roll includes the net total assessment for Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 and shows the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 assessment, assessment number, Assessor’s Parcel Number, and land use designation for each parcel.

The Assessment Roll, as provided in Appendix A , lists the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers within this Assessment District by assessment number. The assessment numbers appearing on the Assessment and the names and addresses of the property owners are as shown on the last equalized assessment roll for taxes or as known to the Assessor of Monterey County.

All parcel information has been provided to DTA by the City Public Works Department, the previous Assessment Engineer, and the County of Monterey. 193
12 SECTION VI

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II MAD No. 1 , Annexation No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com

VI METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
A Background
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the legislative body establishes and determines the “estimated benefit received” by each parcel from the Improvements.

In addition, Article XIIID of the California Constitution, added in November 1996 through the passage of Proposition 218 by voters of the State of California, requires, inter alia, that (i) only special benefits be assessable, (ii) no assessment may exceed the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel assessed, and (iii) publicly owned parcels shall not be exempt from assessment unless clear and convincing evidence demonstrates that such publicly owned parcels receive no special benefits from the improvements for which the assessment is levied.
“Special benefit” is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large. Importantly, the general enhancement of property value does not constitute special benefit . As such, this Engineer’s Report has been designed to comply with these requirements, as well as to incorporate recent California court decisions such as: Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008), Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010), Golden Hills Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011), and Concerned Citizens v. West Point Fire Protection District (2011) .

Methodologically, it is necessary and essential to identify the special benefit that the improvements, facilities, and services will render to the properties within the District. It is also necessary that the properties receive a special and direct benefi t as distinguished from benefit to the general public.

The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of analyzing the facts and determining the method and formula for apportionment of the assessment obligation to the benefited properties. For these proceedings, the City has retained the firm of DTA as the Assessment Engineer.

The Assessment Engineer makes his or her recommendation for the method of apportionment in this Engineer’s Report for consideration at the public hearing. However, the final authority and action rests with the City Council after hearing all testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council must make the final action in determining that the assessment has been made in direct proportion to the special benefit received.

In determining the net amount to be assessed upon parcels within the District, Section 22573 of the California Streets and Highways Code states that such amount “may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by ea ch such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
194
13 SECTION VI

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II MAD No. 1 , Annexation No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
Proposition 218 further states that “no assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel,” where “special benefit” means “a particular and distinct benefit over and abo ve general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large.” This Section VI describes the methodology used to calculate the net amount to be assessed on each parcel within the District in proportion to the special be nefit conferred on each such parcel.

C Categories of Benefit
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel,” where “Special Benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.” It is therefore necessary to establish definitions of General Benefit and Special Benefit as such terms relate to the benefit to be derived from the Improvements.

The following special benefit allocation was d etermined at the time the District was formed :

C.1 Landscaping
Proper maintenance of landscaping and appurtenant facilities specially benefit parcels within the District by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation, attenuating noise from adjacent streets, and controlling dust for those properties in close proxim ity to the landscaping, thereby enhancing the environmental quality of the parcels and making them more desirable ; Spraying and treating of landscaping for disease reduces the likelihood of insect infestation and other diseases spreading to landscaping located throughout the properties within the District ; and
Proper maintenance of the landscaping, ornamental structures, and appurtenant facilities (i) reduces property -related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through the abatement of graffiti and the screening of properties within the Annexation from arterial streets; and (ii) improves the attractiveness of properties within the District and provides a positive visual experience.

C.2 Street L ighting
The special benefit from the maintenance, operation, and servicing of street lighting within the District only accrues to parcels within the District located in areas where such lighting is provided ; however, all parcels within the District, regardless of location, are considered to benefit from such improvements installed within the District .

C.3 Parks
The special benefit from the maintenance of park improvements is determined based on the potential use by the property owners within the District. Based on City standards, it has been determined that each parcel within the District will benefit from one -tenth (1/10) of each acre of developed parkland within the City. Using this projection, the total number of acres, and future population, only approximately 80% of the proposed parks maintenance within the Annexations will be assessed towards the Annexatio n parcels.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II MAD No. 1 , Annexation No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
As a result, properties in the District will receive 100% of the special benefits of the operation and maintenance of the Improvements. Importantly, because of the location of the Improvements within or close to the District itself, there is no general benefit to properties outside the Distric t or the community as a whole. Any such general benefit is so incidental and negligible that it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

D Allocation of Special Benefit to Parcels
Each fiscal year, the Maximum Assessment Rate per EDU plus the cost -of-living adjustment (CPI) will be determined, and be brought before the City Council for approval prior to the start of the fiscal year. Additionally, improvements within the District will be reviewed to determine the extent of the improvements accepted for maintenance by the City. If it is determined that a portion of the improvements has either not been installed, or is installed but not accepted by the City for maintenance, a credit w ill be applied to Maximum Assessment rate per EDU. The credit will equal the portion of the annual maintenance costs associated with any improvements that have not been accepted for maintenance, and will be reflected in the final assessments placed on the County tax rolls for the fiscal year. This process will continue until such time that all improvements are complete and fully accepted by the City for maintenance.

As discussed previously, parcels in the District are the only parcels that derive special benefit from maintenance and operations and as such, must bear the cost of these activities. In accordance with the formation documents for the District, for each fi scal year the development status of parcels within the District will be reviewed to determine whether parcels are developed or vacant as described below. Each parcel within the District will then be assigned to one of the following four (4) categories bas ed on that parcel’s development status:

D.1 Developed Accepted
This category includes parcels that have been developed and for which the City has accepted maintenance responsibilities. These parcels will be charged for their proportionate share of Total Direct Maintenance and Administration Expenses, based on each pa rcel’s share of the Maximum Assessment.

D.2 Developed Not Accepted
This category includes parcels that have been or are in the process of being developed and for which the City is not expecting to accept maintenance responsibilities in the upcoming fiscal year. These parcels will be charged for their proportionate share of the Administration Expenses and Storm Drain Maintenance Expenses, based on each parcel’s share of the Maximum Assessment. 197

City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II MAD No. 1 , Annexation No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
D.3 No Development
This category includes parcels that have not been developed and the City is not expecting to accept maintenance responsibilities for the upcoming fiscal year. These parcels will be charged for their proportionate share of the Total Administration Expenses based on each parcel’s share of the Maximum Assessment.

D.4 Pending Annexation
This category includes parcels that are within the boundaries of the District but have not been annexed into the City. These parcels will not be charged for any expenses.

Importantly, Article XlllD provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. As a result, the following property will be considered exempt from the assessment: areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and right -of-way, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.

Each parcel in the District is assigned a weighting factor known as an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”). The following shows the EDU factors for each property type in the District:

Developed, Single - Family Residential = 1.0 EDU per Parcel Developed, Multi - Family Residential = 1.0 EDU per Unit Vacant Land, Future Residential = 0.3 EDU per Acre
E Amount of Assessment
Pursuant to the foregoing, Table 8 below shows the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District in Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 .

PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II BAD No. 2 www.FinanceDTA.com

IV COST ESTIMATE
Applicable law requires the Engineer’s Report to contain an estimate of the costs of the Improvements for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , including estimates of (i) the total costs for Improvements for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , including incidental expenses, (ii) the amount of any surplus in the improvement fund to be carried over from a previous Fiscal Year, (iii) the amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part, (iv) the amount, if any, of the annual installm ent for the Fiscal Year where the legislative body has ordered an assessment for the estimated cost of any improvements to be levied and collected in annual installments, and (v) the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District. Est imates of these amounts are provided below.

The following describes the costs that are funded through the District.

A Costs of Improvements
A.1 Projected Annual Maintenance Costs & Capital Improvement Costs Included in the City’s Public Works Department Budget Request are estimated costs for the annual maintenance , servicing , and funding of all improvements within the District. District direct maintenance expenses are estimated at $28,368 for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 as shown in Table 2 below. District’s direct capital improvement costs are estimated at $ 850 ,000 for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 as shown in Table 3 below.

PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II BAD No. 2 www.FinanceDTA.com
A.2 Projected Annual Administration Costs
In addition to the costs listed above, there will be costs attributed to the administration of the District. As shown in Table 4, the District administration costs are estimated to be $40 ,406 for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 . These costs are summarized below.

Table 4: Projected Annual Administration Costs
Item Description Cost Estimate
City Administration $30,762
District Administration $5,282
Printing and Advertising $700
County Collection $3,662
Total* $40 ,406
*Note : Figures may not sum due to rounding .

A.3 Projected Annual Levy Adjustment
Finally, in addition to the costs listed above, certain levy adjustments will be made to account for any operating reserve credits or required capital collection to the District’s reserve fund. As shown in Table 5, an Operating Reserve Credit of $31,24 5 and Capital Reserve Credit of $ 850 ,000 have been applied to offset the required Capital Reserve Collection of $151,863 . Therefore, a net total of $729,382 Reserve Fund collection has been applied to the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 assessment.

Table 5: Projected Annual Levy Adjustment
Item Description Cost Estimate
Capital Reserve Collection $151,863
Operating Reserve Credit ($31,24 5)
Capital Reserve Credit ($850 ,000 )
Total ($729 ,382)
*Note : Figures may not sum due to rounding .

B Annual Cost Indexing
B.1 C ity/District Administration, Printing, and Advertising With the passage of Proposition 218, any proposed increase in assessments must be approved by impacted property owners via a mail ballot and public hearing process, similar to these proceedings. A weighted simple majority of ballots received (weighted acc ording to each parcel’s proportionate assessment obligation) must be affirmative for the City Council to confirm and levy the increased assessments. For small assessment districts or districts with relatively low dollar assessments, the cost of an Enginee r’s Report , balloting, and the public hearing process can potentially 235
9 SECTION IV

COST ESTIMATE
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II BAD No. 2 www.FinanceDTA.com
exceed the total amount of the increase. The incidental costs of these proceedings may be added to the assessments, resulting in even higher assessments.

Therefore, indexing assessments annually to the published “San Francisco Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers” (“SF CPI”) allows for minor increases in normal maintenance and operating costs, without incurring the costs of ballot proceedings required b y Proposition 218. Any other significant changes to the District (e.g., increases in service, modification of the boundary, etc.) would still require Proposition 218 proceedings and, ultimately, property owner approval.

Thus, on each July 1, commencing on July 1, 2007, the maximum authorized unit assessment rates established in these proceedings will be indexed (increased) annually by a factor equal to the published SF CPI from the preceding Fiscal Year.

The most recent data for th e increase in the SF CPI is the increase between February 20 25 and February 20 26 and shows an increase equal to 2.48%. Therefore, on July 1, 20 26, the maximum assessment will thus be increased by 2.48%.

Since the maximum assessment is likely sufficient to cover the cost estimates for improvements and other expenses for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , an amount equal to only the total projected costs will be assessed on the property within the District.

The assessment levy in future years may be any amount less than or equal to the maximum assessment in that year.

B.2 Collection Fees
The County Auditor/Controller also charges an additional 0.25% of the total amount assessed.

B.3 Reserve Collection/Transfer
The applicable law provides for a District Reserve Fund that provides for the collection of funds to cover District operations between July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) and the date on which the County remits first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills (typically January or February). Any negative amounts entries for this budget item represent transfers from the Reserve Fund to reduce the assessment in a given fiscal year. A fully funded Reserve enables the District to (i) c over operational expenses incurred in the 6 months of the fiscal year, without any City funds from non -District accounts; and (ii) address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.

C Contributions from Other Sources
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred … ” In accordance with that provision, it is determined that there will be no general benefit from the Improvements in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 , as explained in Section VI of this Report.

V ASSESSMENT ROLL
The Assessment Engineer has prepared an Assessment Roll for the District as required by applicable law, based upon the assessment methodology described in this Engineer’s Report. The Assessment Roll includes the net total assessment for Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 and shows the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 assessment, assessment number, Assessor’s Parcel Number, and land use designation for each parcel.

The Assessment Roll, as provided in Appendix A , lists the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers within this Assessment District by assessment number. The assessment numbers appearing on the Assessment and the names and addresses of the property owners are as shown on the last equalized assessment roll for taxes or as known to the Assessor of Monterey County.

All parcel information has been provided to DTA by the City Public Works Department, the previous Assessment Engineer, and the County of Monterey. 238

VI METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
A Background
Pursuant to the 1982 Act, the legislative body establishes and determines the “estimated benefit received” by each parcel from the Improvements.

In addition, Article XIIID of the California Constitution, added in November 1996 through the passage of Proposition 218 by voters of the State of California, requires, inter alia, that (i) only special benefits be assessable, (ii) no assessment may exceed the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel assessed, and (iii) publicly owned parcels shall not be exempt from assessment unless clear and convincing evidence demonstrates that such publicly owned parcels receive no special benefits from the improvements for which the assessment is levied.
“Special benefit” is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large. Importantly, the general enhancement of property value does not constitute special benefit . As such, this Engineer’s Report has been designed to comply with these requirements, as well as to incorporate recent California court decisions such as: Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008), Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010), Golden Hills Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011), and Concerned Citizens v. West Point Fire Protection District (2011) .

Methodologically, it is necessary and essential to identify the special benefit that the improvements, facilities, and services will render to the properties within the District. It is also necessary that the properties receive a special and direct benefi t as distinguished from benefit to the general public.

The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of analyzing the facts and determining the method and formula for apportionment of the assessment obligation to the benefited properties. For these proceedings, the City has retained the firm of DTA as the Assessment Engineer.

The Assessment Engineer makes his or her recommendation for the method of apportionment in this Engineer’s Report for consideration at the public hearing. However, the final authority and action rests with the City Council after hearing all testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council must make the final action in determining that the assessment has been made in direct proportion to the special benefit received.

In determining the net amount to be assessed upon parcels within the District, Section 22573 of the California Streets and Highways Code states that such amount “may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by ea ch such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
239
13 SECTION VI

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Orchard Villas/Miravale II BAD No. 2 www.FinanceDTA.com
Proposition 218 further states that “no assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel,” where “special benefit” means “a particular and distinct benefit over and abo ve general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large.” This Section VI describes the methodology used to calculate the net amount to be assessed on each parcel within the District in proportion to the special be nefit conferred on each such parcel.

B Benefits of Improvements
The benefits associated with District Improvements are shown in Table 7 below.

Table 7: Benefits from Street/Storm Drain Improvements
Street/Storm Drain Improvements
Alleviation of excess water during periods of rain.

Safe and efficient movement of people and goods within motor vehicles.

Development of parcels in the District contingent on completion of Improvements.

C Categories of Benefit
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel,” where “Special Benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.” It is therefore necessary to establish definitions of General Benefit and Special Benefit as such terms relate to the benefit to be derived from the Improvements.

The Improvements to be maintained and operated in the District were within or in areas in close proximity to properties in the District. As a result, properties in the District will receive 100% of the special benefits of the operation and maintenance of the Improvements. These benefits include enhanced neighborhood health and safety, improved quality of life from drainage, flood control and street improvements, protection of improved property, enhanced comfort, and increased desirability of the immediate surroundings of the residential units within the District. Importantly, because of the location of the improvements within or close to the District itself, there is no general benefit to properties outside the District or the community as a whole. Any s uch general benefit is so incidental and negligible (less than 1%) that it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

D Allocation of Special Benefit to Parcels
Each fiscal year, the Maximum Assessment Rate per EDU plus the cost -of-living adjustment (CPI) will be determined, and be brought before the City Council for approval prior to the start of the fiscal year. Additionally, improvements within the District will be reviewed to determine the extent of the improvements accepted for maintenance by the City. If it is determined that a portion of the improvements has either not been installed, or is installed but not accepted by the City for maintenance, a credit w ill be applied to Maximum Assessment rate per EDU. The credit will equal the portion of the annual maintenance costs 240
14 SECTION VI

associated with any improvements that have not been accepted for maintenance, and will be reflected in the final assessments placed on the County tax rolls for the fiscal year. This process will continue until such time that all improvements are complete and fully accepted by the City for maintenance.

As discussed previously, parcels in the District are the only parcels that derive special benefit from maintenance and operations and as such, must bear the cost of these activities. In accordance with the formation documents for the District, for each fi scal year the development status of parcels within the District will be reviewed to determine whether parcels are developed or vacant as described below. Each parcel within the District will then be assigned to one of the following four (4) categories bas ed on that parcel’s development status:

D.1 Developed Accepted
This category includes parcels that have been developed and for which the City has accepted maintenance responsibilities. These parcels will be charged for their proportionate share of Total Direct Maintenance and Administration Expenses, based on each pa rcel’s share of the Maximum Assessment.

D.2 Developed Not Accepted
This category includes parcels that have been or are in the process of being developed and for which the City is not expecting to accept maintenance responsibilities in the upcoming fiscal year. These parcels will be charged for their proportionate share of the Administration Expenses and Storm Drain Maintenance Expenses, based on each parcel’s share of the Maximum Assessment.

D.3 No Development
This category includes parcels that have not been developed and the City is not expecting to accept maintenance responsibilities for the upcoming fiscal year. These parcels will be charged for their proportionate share of the Total Administration Expenses based on each parcel’s share of the Maximum Assessment.

D.4 Pending Annexation
This category includes parcels that are within the boundaries of the District but have not been annexed into the City. These parcels will not be charged for any expenses.

Importantly, Article XlllD provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. As a result, the following property will be considered exempt from the assessment: areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and right -of-way, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities. 241

Each parcel in the District is assigned a weighting factor known as an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”). The following shows the EDU factors for each property type in the District:

Developed, Single - Family Residential = 1.0 EDU per Parcel Developed, Multi - Family Residential = 1.0 EDU per Unit Vacant Land, Future Residential = 0.3 EDU per Acre
E Amount of Assessment
Pursuant to the foregoing, Table 8 below shows the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District in Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 .

PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Rancho San Vicente MAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com

IV COST ESTIMATE
Applicable law requires the Engineer’s Report to contain an estimate of the costs of the Improvements for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , including estimates of (i) the total costs for Improvements for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , including incidental expenses, (ii) the amount of any surplus in the improvement fund to be carried over from a previous Fiscal Year, (iii) the amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part, (iv) t he amount, if any, of the annual installm ent for the Fiscal Year where the legislative body has ordered an assessment for the estimated cost of any improvements to be levied and collected in annual installments, and (v) the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District. Est imates of these amounts are provided below.

The following describes the costs that are funded through the District.

A Costs of Improvements
A.1 Projected Annual Maintenance Costs
Included in the City’s Public Works Department Budget Request are estimated costs for the annual maintenance and servicing of all improvements within the District.

District direct maintenance expenses are estimated at $ 90 ,567 for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 as shown in Table 2 below.

Item Description Cost Estimate
Park Maintenance $29,047
Street Landscaping $21,785

A.2 Projected Annual Administration Costs
In addition to the costs listed above, there will be costs attributed to the administration of the District. As shown in Table 3, the District administration costs are estimated to be $38,502 for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 . These costs are summarized below.

Item Description Cost Estimate
City Administration $31,697
District Administration $5,000
Printing and Advertising $500
County Collection $1,305
Total * $38,502
*Note : Figures may not sum due to rounding .

A.3 Projected Annual Levy Adjustment
Finally, in addition to the costs listed above, certain levy adjustments will be made to account for any operating reserve credits or required capital collection to the District’s reserve fund. As shown in Table 4, an Operating Reserve Credit of $ 33,668. has been applied to offset the required Capital Reserve Collection of $ 21,28 9.

Therefore, a net total of $ 12,546 Reserve Fund Credit has been applied to the Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 assessment .

Item Description Cost Estimate
Capital Reserve Collection $21,28 9
Operating Reserve Credit ($33,835 )
Total * ($12,546 )
*Note : Figures may not sum due to rounding .

B Annual Cost Indexing
B.1 City/District Administration, Printing, and Advertising With the passage of Proposition 218, any proposed increase in assessments must be approved by impacted property owners via a mail ballot and public hearing process, similar to these proceedings. A weighted simple majority of ballots received (weighted acc ording to each parcel’s proportionate assessment obligation) must be affirmative for the City Council to confirm and levy the increased assessments. For small assessment districts or districts with relatively low dollar assessments, the cost of an Enginee r’s Report , balloting, and the public hearing process can potentially exceed the total amount of the increase. The incidental costs of these proceedings 279
9 SECTION IV

COST ESTIMATE
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Rancho San Vicente MAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
may be added to the assessments, resulting in even higher assessments.

Therefore, adjusting assessments annually by 3.00% allo ws for minor increases in normal maintenance and operating costs, without incurring the costs of ballot proceedings required by Proposition 218. Any other significant changes to the District (e.g., increases in service, modification of the boundary, etc.) would still require Proposition 218 proceedings and, ultimately, property owner approval.

Thus, on each July 1, commencing on July 1, 2004, the maximum authorized unit assessment rates established in these proceedings will be indexed (incre ased) annually by 3.00% from the preceding Fiscal Year.

Since the maximum assessment is likely sufficient to cover the cost estimates for improvements and other expenses for Fiscal Year 2026 - 2027 , an amount equal to only the total projected costs will be assessed on the property within the District.

The assessment levy in future years may be any amount less than or equal to the maximum assessment in that year .

B.2 Collection Fees
The County Auditor/Controller also charges an additional 0.25% of the total amount assessed.

B.3 Reserve Collection/Transfer
The applicable law provides for a District Reserve Fund that provides for the collection of funds to cover District operations between July 1 (beginning of the Fiscal Year) and the date on which the County remits first installment of assessments collected from the property tax bills (typically January or February). Any negative amounts entries for this budget item represent transfers from the Reserve Fund to reduce the assessment in a given fiscal year. A fully funded Reserve enables the District to (i) c over operational expenses incurred in the 6 months of the fiscal year, without any City funds from non -District accounts; and (ii) address any unforeseen or unusual expenditures that may occur during the year.

C Contributions from Other Sources
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred … ” In accordance with that provision, it is determined that there will be no general benefit from the Improvements in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 , as explained in Section VI of this Report.

D Annual Installments
The entire amount of the net assessment, as shown in Table 5 below, will be assessed in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 .

V ASSESSMENT ROLL
The Assessment Engineer has prepared an Assessment Roll for the District as required by applicable law, based upon the assessment methodology described in this Engineer’s Report. The Assessment Roll includes the net total assessment for Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 and shows the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 assessment, assessment number, Assessor’s Parcel Number, and land use designation for each parcel.

The Assessment Roll, as provided in Appendix A , lists the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers within this Assessment District by assessment number. The assessment numbers appearing on the Assessment and the names and addresses of the property owners are as shown on the last equalized assessment roll for taxes or as known to the Assessor of Monterey County.

All parcel information has been provided to DTA by the City Public Works Department, the previous Assessment Engineer, and the County of Monterey. 282

VI METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
A Background
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the legislative body establishes and determines the “estimated benefit received” by each parcel from the Improvements.

In addition, Article XIIID of the California Constitution, added in November 1996 through the passage of Proposition 218 by voters of the State of California, requires, inter alia, that (i) only special benefits be assessable, (ii) no assessment may exceed the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel assessed, and (iii) publicly owned parcels shall not be exempt from assessment unless clear and convincing evidence demonstrates that such publicly owned parcels receive no special benefits from the improvements for which the assessment is levied.
“Special benefit” is a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large. Importantly, the general enhancement of property value does not constitute special benefit . As such, this Engineer’s Report has been designed to comply with these requirements, as well as to incorporate recent California court decisions such as: Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008), Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010), Golden Hills Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011), and Concerned Citizens v. West Point Fire Protection District (2011) .

Methodologically, it is necessary and essential to identify the special benefit that the improvements, facilities, and services will render to the properties within the District. It is also necessary that the properties receive a special and direct benefi t as distinguished from benefit to the general public.

The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of analyzing the facts and determining the method and formula for apportionment of the assessment obligation to the benefited properties. For these proceedings, the City has retained the firm of DTA as the Assessment Engineer.

The Assessment Engineer makes his or her recommendation for the method of apportionment in this Engineer’s Report for consideration at the public hearing. However, the final authority and action rests with the City Council after hearing all testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council must make the final action in determining that the assessment has been made in direct proportion to the special benefit received.

In determining the net amount to be assessed upon parcels within the District, Section 22573 of the California Streets and Highways Code states that such amount “may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by ea ch such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
283
13 SECTION VI

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
City of Soledad May 20 , 202 6
PRELIMINARY Engineer’s Report for Rancho San Vicente MAD No. 1 www.FinanceDTA.com
Proposition 218 further states that “no assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel,” where “special benefit” means “a particular and distinct benefit over and abo ve general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large.” This Section VI describes the methodology used to calculate the net amount to be assessed on each parcel within the District in proportion to the special be nefit conferred on each such parcel.

B Benefits of Improvements
The special benefits associated with the local landscaping improvements are shown in Table 6 below.

Table 6: Benefits from Landscaping Improvements
Landscaping Improvements

C Categories of Benefit
Proposition 218 provides that “an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel,” where “Special Benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.” It is therefore necessary to establish definitions of General Benefit and Special Benefit as such terms relate to the benefit to be derived from the Improvements.

The following special benefit allocation was d etermined at the time the District was formed.

The Improvements to be maintained and operated in the District were within or in areas in close proximity to the proposed developed residential lots. As a result, the developed residential lots in the District will receive 100% of the special benefits of the operation and maintenance of the Improvements. These special benefits include enhanced neighborhood identity and quality of life generated when park landscaping and lighting are in place, improved, operable, safe, clean, and maintained. In short, mai ntenance and operation of the proposed improvements will provide beautification, shade, and increase the desirability of the immediate surroundings of the residential units within the District. Importantly, because of the location of the improvements with in or close to the District itself, there is no general benefit to properties outside the District or the community as a whole. Any such general benefit is so incidental and negligible that it cannot be calculated for purposes of assessment.

D Allocation of Special Benefit to Parcels
As discussed previously, developed parcels in the District are the only parcels that derive special benefit from maintenance and operations and as such, must bear the cost of these activities. As a result, all costs associated with the maintenance and ope ration of District Improvements, including incidentals and appurtenances, shall be spread to all parcels within the District on a development unit basis.

Factored development unit calculations for residential areas are as follows:

Low Density Residential = 1.0 Unit/Residential Lot Single - Family Unit Apartment Unit = 0.8 Unit/Apartment
[0.8 Unit/Apartment x Apartment Units = Equivalent Single - Family Unit ( “ESFU ”)] Importantly, Article XlllD provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. As a result, the following property will be considered exempt from the assessment: areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and right -of-way, public greenbelts and public parkways, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities. 285

SUBJECT: Code Enforcement Division Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Accomplishments, Challenges, and Next Steps
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Patrick Valenzuela, Chief of Police and Beatriz Trujillo, Community and Economic Development Director
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council receive and accept the Fiscal Year 2025–26 Code Enforcement Division Accomplishments, Challenges, and Next Steps.

Executive Summary
During Fiscal Year 2025–26, the Code Enforcement Division continued addressing public health, safety, and neighborhood quality concerns throughout the community. The Division responded to recurring complaints regarding illegal parking, abandoned vehicles, substandard housing, nuisance properties, animal control, and illegal vending. While staffing improvements early in the fiscal year increased operational capacity, the loss of one Community Service Officer in April 2026 created additional workload challenges. Staff also encountered several complex nuisance and unsafe structure cases that highlighted the need for additional legal support and procedural guidance from a code enforcement specialized legal firm. Despite these challenges, the Division, with the support of the Community and Economic Development and Fire Departments, achieved several successful enforcement outcomes that improved neighborhood safety and community compliance.

Background
The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for enforcing the Soledad Municipal Code and addressing nuisance, housing, parking, vehicle abatement, and animal-related concerns. These responsibilities generate recurring calls for service and require coordination with residents, property owners, and outside agencies.

The Division began Fiscal Year 2025–26 with three Community Service Officers (CSOs) assigned to code enforcement-related duties. This staffing level improved responsiveness and proactive enforcement efforts. However, in April 2026, one CSO transitioned into a Police Cadet position, reducing staffing capacity for the remainder of the fiscal year. In addition to routine enforcement 294
activities, the Division also encountered several complex nuisance and substandard housing cases that required a higher level of legal coordination and procedural expertise than previously experienced by the City.

In addition to the CSOs, the Community and Economic Development Department supports code enforcement efforts related to building and zoning violations. In the most serious cases, the CSOs coordinate with the Building Official, who has the authority to issue notices declaring structures unsafe for occupancy or requiring the abatement of hazardous conditions.

The Fire Department also serves an important role in the City’s code enforcement efforts through its fire prevention activities. The Department is responsible for weed abatement enforcement and conducts inspections of commercial and multi-family properties to ensure required fire prevention and lifesafety systems are properly installed, maintained, and functioning effectively.

Review & Analysis
Throughout the fiscal year, the Division responded to recurring complaints involving illegal parking, abandoned vehicles, property maintenance violations, nuisance conditions, overcrowding, and substandard housing concerns. Maintaining adequate staffing remains important due to the broad range of responsibilities assigned to the Division.

One of the Division’s most significant efforts involved two residential properties deemed unsafe and non-livable. Staff conducted inspections, documented violations, and coordinated with the Building Official to red-tag both properties. However, both cases stalled due to the complexity of legal procedures involving nuisance abatement, receivership, and cost recovery. These cases highlighted the need for additional legal guidance and procedural support, particularly for complex enforcement matters involving unsafe structures and chronic nuisance properties. Additional support would help staff advance difficult cases more efficiently and improve cost recovery efforts.

Despite these challenges, the Division also achieved several successful enforcement outcomes during the fiscal year, including:

Housing and Neighborhood Stabilization
Resolved a hoarder-related property maintenance case that posed health and safety concerns to surrounding residents.

Investigated and addressed overcrowding concerns involving multiple occupants living in a small two-bedroom residence.

Responded to and assisted with a homeless encampment case to improve public safety and neighborhood conditions.

Public Health and Sanitation
Addressed a rat infestation case impacting residential health and sanitation conditions. Worked with property representatives to resolve an ongoing trash and nuisance issue associated with the Market Place area.

Community Compliance and Enforcement
Conducted an enforcement contact with an illegal vendor operating without proper authorization.

Conducted enforcement contact related to an illegal food vendor operation to address health and permitting concerns.
295
In addition to the work of the CSOs, the Community and Economic Development (CED) Department has played an important role in supporting code enforcement efforts related to vacant and abandoned properties, as well as unpermitted construction. Approximately two years ago, staff identified a severely dilapidated building at 839 Monterey. After extensive research, staff determined the property was tied up in probate proceedings and, through a series of notices of violation and coordination with the court, helped facilitate approval for the sale of the property. The property was ultimately purchased by a responsible owner and has since been substantially rehabilitated. In another case, staff identified a historic home in the early stages of being covered with stucco and worked with the property owner to preserve the character of the structure by matching the original wood lap siding. These are just a few examples of how CED has partnered with the CSOs to achieve positive outcomes for the community.

The Fire Department is also a critical member of the City’s code enforcement team. One of its most significant contributions to community safety is weed abatement enforcement. If weeds and dry vegetation are not addressed before fire season, they can create conditions that allow fires to spread rapidly throughout the community. In 2026, the Fire Department initiated weed abatement enforcement efforts and identified 59 parcels with violations. Following notification, 35 properties have already mitigated the issue. Second inspections are scheduled to begin the week of May 18, with final inspections anticipated in mid-June. Historically, most properties achieve voluntary compliance prior to the final inspection phase.

The Code Enforcement Division and the Community and Economic Development Department typically meet one to two times each month to coordinate on complex and ongoing cases. Over the past year, it has become increasingly evident that portions of the municipal code lack sufficient enforcement mechanisms to effectively address repeat violators. One of the priorities identified in the City’s Strategic Plan is to conduct a comprehensive review of outdated ordinances and update municipal codes to better reflect current community needs, modern standards, and equitable enforcement practices.

To support this effort, the City has identified Civica Law Group as a subject matter expert in municipal code enforcement and receivership proceedings. In addition to assisting with ordinance updates, the firm works with cities to address the most serious nuisance and blighted properties through the receivership process, helping communities regain control of properties that pose ongoing health and safety concerns. Staff anticipates bringing a potential receivership case to the Council for consideration in the near future. In many instances, the City is able to recover enforcement-related costs through the receivership process.

Financial Considerations
This is an informational presentation and does not impose any immediate financial obligations on the City. However, staff have identified the need for legal support for complex code enforcement cases involving nuisance abatement, unsafe structures, receivership, and cost recovery efforts.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Support for Code Enforcement advances Strategic Plan Objectives: 2.4.4 to perform a citywide housing condition assessment and deploy proactive code enforcement to address substandard housing and support long-term neighborhood stability, and 6.3.3 to modernize and standardize city ordinances and enforcement tools. Both are semi-urgent objectives.

SUBJECT: Council Direction Regarding City Position on the Development of ICE Detention Facilities in the Bay Area and Central Coast Regions TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Megan Hunter, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH:

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad provide direction to staff regarding whether the City of Soledad should take an opposition position related to the potential development or expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities in the Bay Area and Central Coast regions, including reported proposals involving sites in Gilroy and Dublin, California.

Executive Summary
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council on whether the City of Soledad should take an opposition position regarding the potential expansion of ICE detention facilities in the Bay Area and Central Coast, including reported proposals in Gilroy and Dublin. Community concerns have been raised about the potential impacts of expanded detention infrastructure on immigrant families and regional public trust. While the City has no jurisdiction over these facilities, the Council may choose to express opposition and support related advocacy efforts. Potential actions could include submitting public comments, coordinating with regional partners, and monitoring federal developments.

Background
Community organizations and regional stakeholders have recently raised concerns regarding the potential development of an ICE detention facility in South Santa Clara County near Gilroy, California.

Although no definitive information has been publicly confirmed regarding the future use of the identified property, advocacy groups have urged local governments and community members to remain vigilant and organized to prevent the expansion of immigration detention operations within the broader Bay Area region.

Additional concerns have also been raised regarding the possible future use of the former Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin as an immigration detention center. FCI Dublin, a former federal women’s prison, was permanently closed in 2024 following investigations into widespread staff misconduct and abuse. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has since initiated the process of 298
transferring the property to the General Services Administration (GSA), which manages federal government properties.

Community organizations have expressed concern that, following the transfer, the site could potentially be made available for immigration detention purposes. On May 1, the BOP released an environmental assessment related to the property transfer process, initiating a federal public comment period that remains open through June 1.

Review & Analysis
The City of Soledad has a significant immigrant and mixed-status population that contributes to the economic, cultural, and social fabric of the community. Concerns regarding the expansion of immigration detention facilities in Northern and Central California have prompted discussions among local governments, advocacy organizations, and community members regarding the potential regional impacts on immigrant families and public trust.

Research and community reports have suggested that areas located near ICE detention facilities may experience increased immigration enforcement activity and greater fear within immigrant communities. These concerns may affect residents’ willingness to access public services, report crimes, participate in schools, or engage with local institutions.

While the City of Soledad does not have jurisdiction over facilities located in Santa Clara County or Alameda County, the City Council may wish to provide direction regarding whether the City should express opposition to the expansion of immigration detention infrastructure in the region.

Staff is seeking general policy direction and consensus from the Council regarding whether the City should take an opposition position and explore potential future actions, which could include:

Submitting public comment letters;
Submitting a response to BOP on the environmental assessment on the Dublin facility by June 1st;
Coordinating with regional agencies or advocacy organizations; Monitoring federal actions related to the proposed facilities; or Returning to the Council with additional recommendations if warranted.

Financial Considerations
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with providing policy direction to staff at this time.

Strategic Plan Alignment
The Strategic Plan includes the objective of strengthening legislative advocacy, policy influence, and actions to build trust with our immigrant community by not collaborating with ICE. An opposition position seems aligned with the Strategic Plan.

Alternatives
Staff is seeking City Council direction.
