7 SUBJECT: Soledad Youth Council Introduction for Program Year 2026-27 TO: Honorable Mayor Anna Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Ana Ambriz, Parks and Recreation Director
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
Welcome Program Year 2026-27 Youth Council and Receive a Program Update Executive Summary
Staff will introduce the 2026–27 Youth Council program participants and provide an update on the City’s administration of the Program. The program will continue to support youth civic engagement and leadership development through a structured model operated by the Parks and Recreation Department. The program will continue to support youth civic engagement and leadership development through a structured model operated by the Parks and Recreation Department.

Youth Council members will support City youth initiatives as volunteers and will receive a stipend to help offset transportation and other participation-related needs. Through their service, members will have opportunities to engage with City staff, participate in civic activities, develop leadership skills, and contribute to initiatives that benefit youth throughout the community.

Background
The Soledad Youth Council was established in 2019 in partnership with the Soledad Union School District. The program was created to promote youth leadership, civic awareness, and community involvement among high school-aged residents, and those goals continue to guide the program today.

In 2025, the City of Soledad transitioned to managing the Youth Council program entirely in-house to provide greater oversight, accountability, and alignment with City goals. The City recognizes the value of its partnership with the Soledad Union School District and welcomes future opportunities to collaborate on the Youth Council and other initiatives that support youth development and improve the quality of life for Soledad residents.

In previous years, a small number of youth were appointed as paid City staff to support the program through structured shifts and department-led projects, while the broader Youth Council served as a 8 volunteer leadership body that met regularly to discuss youth-related issues and develop community initiatives.

While the paid staff component was successful in providing youth with meaningful work experience and supporting City-led projects, staff observed lower levels of participation among the broader Youth Council membership. To encourage more consistent participation and engagement across the full membership, staff proposes transitioning to an all-member stipend model for the 2026–27 program year. Under this model, all Youth Council members will remain volunteers and receive a stipend to help offset transportation and other participation-related needs while participating in structured activities, City youth initiatives, and leadership development opportunities.

Review & Analysis
For the 2026–27 academic year, the City launched recruitment for the Youth Council at the end of May, with applications closing at the end of June. The City received 13 applications and hosted an orientation and kickoff meeting at the end of July. Of the 13 applicants, 8 have fully committed to be active participants of the Youth Council and have attended subsequent Youth Council meetings.

The 2026–27 Youth Council is comprised of the following youth:

Fernando Cabrera-Andrade
David Pantoja
Stephanie Martinez
Darleen Vasquez
Abigail Richardson
Carmen Pizana
Emmanuel Castro
Alexander Ortiz
Youth Council members are expected to actively participate in regular meetings, community activities, City youth initiatives, and other program-related activities. Members will serve as volunteers and are expected to represent the Youth Council and the City in a professional and respectful manner when participating in public events and City activities.

To support participation and help address transportation and other participation-related costs, all Youth Council members will receive a stipend. The stipend model is intended to help eliminate financial and transportation barriers to participation and create greater opportunities for all Youth Council members to engage consistently in the program.

In addition to regular Youth Council activities, members will have opportunities to work with City staff on youth-focused initiatives, participate in community outreach and civic engagement activities, and develop a youth-led project during the 2026–27 program year. The program will also provide opportunities for leadership development, team building, and meaningful experiences that allow youth to connect with one another, explore their interests, and participate in activities and experiences they may not otherwise have access to.

To further support the Youth Council, members will be mentored and supported by a former Youth Council Commissioner who will work in coordination with Parks and Recreation Department staff.

Marylin Ramirez, will help encourage youth participation, support the development of the youth-led project, and provide peer-to-peer mentorship as members navigate community engagement and civic 9 leadership opportunities.Staff will continue to provide guidance, structure, and oversight through the Parks and Recreation Department, with the former Commissioner serving as an additional resource and mentor to help strengthen the Youth Council experience throughout the 2026–27 program year.

Financial Considerations
The Youth Council stipends and related program activities for FY 2026–27 will be funded through the Parks and Recreation Department’s operating budget.

Strategic Plan Alignment
The Youth Council program directly supports the City’s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, Goal 7.2: Promote Youth Leadership, Civic Engagement, and Mentorship.

PUBLIC COMMENT
One written public comment was received from Art Alvarado and read into the record by Deputy City Clerk Darlene Noriega.

Mr. Alvarado requested that, when the renaming of Cesar Chavez Park returns to the City Council for consideration, the Council consider renaming it Veterans Park or Veterans Memorial Park. He acknowledged that the City already has a Veterans Park but noted that its steep terrain makes it inaccessible to many seniors and veterans.

The speaker also requested improvements to the walkway on Front Street between Oak Street and Nestles Road to improve accessibility for wheelchair users and residents with disabilities. He expressed concern about the lack of safety measures along the steep roadway. He noted that residents who use manual wheelchairs and lack daily assistance may be unable to access downtown Soledad. He stated that the planters had helped slow traffic and suggested adding railing along the sidewalk to provide pedestrians with additional support when navigating the steep area.

ADDITIONS/MODIFICATIONS TO THE AGENDA
Attorney Mike Rodriquez said he does have additions and modifications related to B-1 and B-2; however, he will bring up those modifications when the council reaches that portion of the agenda. 12 City of Soledad City Council/Successor Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of August 05, 2026

52 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6379, A Resolution of The City Council of the City of Soledad Approving the Adoption of a Supplemental Authorizing Resolution to Incorporate all HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program Funding Sources in Compliance with HUD Contracting Requirements
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Beatriz Trujillo, Community and Economic Development Director and Kimberly Herrera, Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt resolution No.6379, "Approving the Adoption of a Supplemental Authorizing Resolution to Incorporate all HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program Funding Sources, including HOME Program Income/Revolving Fund (HOME PI/RF), Recaptured Funds (RF), and Program Income Administration (PI Admin) funds, in Compliance with HUD Contracting Requirements."
Executive Summary
City Council previously approved Resolution No. 6217, authorizing the submittal of the 2024 HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program application, and Resolution No. 6218, adopting the HOME First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Program Guidelines. Following City Council approval, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued additional guidance requiring that the City’s Authorizing Resolution explicitly identify all HOME program funding sources, including HOME Program Income/Revolving Fund (HOME OI/RF), Recaptured Funds (RF), and Program Income Administration (PI Admin) funds, whether currently available or anticipated over the next four fiscal years. This action will ensure full compliance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations, which require all HOME Program funds to be formally authorized and placed under a fully executed Standard Agreement or approved contract amendment prior to expenditure.

Background
On December 30, 2024, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released the 2024 HOME Investment Partnerships Program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). In 53 response, the City prepared and applied for the First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Program and City Council adopted the necessary program guidelines and application authorization through Resolution No. 6217 and 6218.

Since then, HCD has clarified that jurisdictions must include a comprehensive listing of all HOME Program funding sources within their Authorizing Resolution as a condition of executing the Standard Agreement. This requirement applies to current program balances, projected income, and recaptured funds over the four years.

The intent of this requirement is to ensure that all eligible HOME funds are properly identified, bound under contract, and available for fund disbursement under a single executed agreement.

Review & Analysis
Although the City has already completed the application submittal process and adopted program guidelines, HCD now requires an updated Authorizing Resolution to ensure that the City’s funding structure is fully eligible under HUD regulations.

Specifically, the updated resolution must explicitly state the following HOME funding sources:
• HOME Program Income/Revolving Fund (HOME PI/RF)
• Recaptured Funds (RF)
• Program Income Administration (PI Admin) Funds
These funding sources must be identified regardless of whether they are currently on hand or anticipated over the next four fiscal years. This ensures that all potential program resources are eligible for inclusion under the State’s Standard Agreement and available for future program activity, subject to compliance requirements.

The proposed Supplemental Authorizing Resolution will update the City’s prior authorization solely to meet this compliance requirement. It does not modify the previously approved application, program guidelines, or change City Council direction regarding program implementation. Rather, it aligns existing approvals with updated HCD contract requirements.

Financial Considerations
No fiscal impact to the General Fund will result from adoption of the supplemental resolution. The action only ensures compliance with HCD and HUD funding requirements.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This item supports Strategic Plan Goal 2.5 - Promote Homeownership, Financial Literacy, and FirstTime Buyer Assistance. The HOME-ARP funds will be used to establish a First-Time Homebuyer Program that provides financial assistance and homeownership resources to income-qualified households, helping residents overcome barriers to home ownership.

Alternatives

1. Approve adoption of the Supplemental Authorizing Resolution to incorporate all HOME Program funding sources in compliance with HCD and HUD requirements (Recommended)

2. Deny the Supplemental Authorizing Resolution, which is not recommended as it may delay or limit the City’s ability to fully execute the State Standard Agreement and access HOME Program 54 Resolution No. 6379
funding.

Planning/CEQA
Not a Project. The City of Soledad has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). The action involves administrative activities that have no potential to result in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment.

Public Notice Requirements
Not required.

57 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6405, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Supporting a Pilot Rail Service Connecting Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area for the Summer 2028 Olympics
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Donald Wilcox, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and adopt Resolution No.6405, “Supporting a Pilot Rail Service Connecting Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area for the Summer 2028 Olympics.”
Executive Summary
The City of Soledad is a member agency of the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC).

TAMC, through the Coast Rail Coordinating Council (CRCC) and its Central Coast transportation planning partners, is seeking support from member jurisdictions for continued State investment in passenger rail service along the Central Coast Rail Corridor and for grant funding to implement a passenger rail pilot service connecting the San Francisco Bay Area, San Luis Obispo, and Los Angeles during the 2028 Olympic Games. Adoption of the proposed resolution would express the City's support for these regional efforts and would not create any financial obligation for the City of Soledad.

Background
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) has requested support from its member agencies for efforts to secure State funding for a passenger rail pilot service connecting the San Francisco Bay Area, San Luis Obispo, and Los Angeles during the 2028 Olympic Games. The proposal is being coordinated through the Coast Rail Coordinating Council (CRCC) and regional transportation planning agencies along the Central Coast Rail Corridor.

The proposed pilot service would leverage increased transportation demand associated with the 2028 Olympic Games and serve as a demonstration project supporting long-term efforts to establish expanded state-supported passenger rail service along California's Central Coast. The initiative is intended to complement ongoing planning and funding efforts for passenger rail service enhancements serving Monterey County and the broader region. Adoption of the resolution does not commit City 58 resources or funding.

Review & Analysis
The Transportation Authority of Monterey County has been leading the planning, funding, and implementation of passenger rail service extensions to Monterey County. This is being done in coordination with federal, state, and regional partner agencies in the Central Coast Rail Corridor, which is a regional priority for enhancing mobility and economic benefits for Monterey County communities and visitors. The 2028 Olympic Games will be hosted in Los Angeles, and official venues will be in other large metropolitan areas such as San Jose and San Diego. The games will attract millions of domestic and international tourists who would choose to take rail or air service between Southern and Northern California.

A gap exists in state-supported passenger rail service between Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area via the Central Coast, particularly between San Luis Obispo and San Jose on the Pacific Coast Route. Existing rail infrastructure could support an additional passenger train frequency if train equipment and rail crews are provided. The Coast Rail Coordinating Council is identifying the funding needed to support planning, capital, and operations for a passenger rail pilot service during the 2028 Olympic Games. The pilot service would leverage transportation interest related to the international event while complementing efforts to implement ongoing passenger rail service to Monterey County.

State-supported intercity passenger rail operations, including new passenger rail services operating between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo and between San Luis Obispo and San Diego on the Pacific Surfliner, are currently funded only through June 2027. Continued funding would help maintain service and allow for a pilot Central Coast passenger rail service through the 2028 Olympic Games.

Staff recommends supporting the Coast Rail Coordinating Council’s efforts to provide a passenger rail pilot service between Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, and the San Francisco Bay Area during the 2028 Olympic Games. These efforts include fully funding Annual Business Plans for the Capitol Corridor and Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo-San Diego (LOSSAN) Corridor intercity passenger rail services to maintain operations, restore pre-COVID passenger service levels, and allow for planned expansion of state-supported intercity passenger rail service in the Central Coast Rail Corridor.

Financial Considerations
There is no financial impact to the City of Soledad associated with the adoption of the resolution.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This action supports the City of Soledad Strategic Plan by advancing regional mobility, expanding transportation options, and improving connectivity between Soledad and key economic and tourism destinations. It supports efforts to enhance regional transit access for residents and visitors.

Goal 5.3: Enhance Public Transit, Senior Mobility, and Regional Connectivity (Regional) Improve access, safety, and convenience for residents, workers, visitors, and regional travelers through coordinated transit and transportation investments.

Objective 5.3.2: Improve tourism and regional transit connectivity Enhance transit connections between Soledad, regional attractions, and neighboring cities to support economic development and sustainable tourism.

It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and adopt Resolution No.6406, “Approving a Contract for Construction Services with Clean Infusion LLC in an Amount of $161,868.00 plus a 10% Contingency ($16,186.80) for a Total Not-To-Exceed Amount of $178,054.80 for the Installation of a Replacement Central Gear Drive Unit for Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Secondary Clarifier #1 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Said Contract on Behalf of the City of Soledad.”
Executive Summary
Secondary Clarifier #1 is currently out of service due to a non-functional central gear drive unit, a large mechanical component that has operated 24/7 for the past 16 years since the WRF was constructed. 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.

The purchase of a replacement central gear drive unit from SPS Engineering for Secondary Clarifier #1 was previously approved by City Council at their May 20, 2026 meeting. Manufacturing of the gear drive unit by SPS Engineering is currently underway. SPS Engineering estimates delivery to the City by late August or early September 2026.

Staff solicited a competitive bid request for gear drive installation services from Class A General Engineering Contractors. The City received 3 bids, and Clean Infusion LLC was chosen as the lowest 63 responsive and responsible bidder, with a Total Not-To-Exceed amount of $178,054.80, which includes a 10% contingency. The earlier equipment purchase initiated a critical repair timeline that would align with installation services. Now, if approved, the installation contract will help the City return the secondary clarifier to service before the fall rainy season.

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 90 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) extending 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 into the central Energy Dissipating Inlet (EDI) and the subsequent feedwell of the clarifier, solids begin to settle rapidly 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. Still, 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
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. 64 Review & Analysis
On May 20, 2026, the City Council approved the purchase of the replacement central gear drive unit from SPS Engineering, the original equipment manufacturer and sole-source provider, for a not-toexceed cost of $55,000. SPS Engineering received the purchase order shortly thereafter and, given their estimated lead time of 14-16 weeks, is expected to deliver the fabricated gear drive unit to the City by late August or early September 2026.

Staff solicited a Request for Bids (RFB) for the Secondary Clarifier #1 Gear Drive Installation Project on July 10, 2026, with bids due on August 07, 2026.

The installation project requires the prime contractor to possess a Class A General Engineering Contractor license. A Specialty Contractor C-10 license for electrical work is also required, but the specialty work may be subcontracted if the prime contractor does not hold the C-10 license. In addition, the contractor is required to hire an SPS Engineering representative who will guide the new drive, help with field testing, and advise on adjustments during rotation (to set torque).

Staff reviewed the submitted bids and determined that Clean Infusion LLC is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a bid amount of $161,868.00. Although the City did not provide an Engineer’s Estimate, the bid amount is within a reasonable range for this type of project, when compared to similar scopes of work that Staff has researched.

Staff recommends awarding a construction contract to Clean Infusion LLC in an amount of $161,868.00 plus a 10% Contingency ($16,186.80) for a total not-to-exceed Amount of $178,054.80 for the installation of a replacement Central Gear Drive Unit for Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Secondary Clarifier #1. The City’s standard construction contract form will be used. The Notice-ToProceed (NTP) for Clean Infusion LLC will not be issued until SPS Engineering's equipment delivery date is scheduled and confirmed by the City.

A total of three bids were received, as summarized in the table below.

Name of Bidder Bid Amount
Clean Infusion LLC $161,868.00
Ellison Environmental Inc (DBA Fluid Resource
Management)
$289,100.00
Katch Environmental, Inc. $801,067.28
Once this project is complete, staff will assess rebuilding the old gear drive unit to install in Secondary Clarifier #2 proactively and prior to imminent failure, as that unit is also at the end of its useful service life.

Financial Considerations
Staff allocated $200,000 for clarifier improvements in FY 2026/2027 from Capital Outlay (Wastewater Budget Line 310-0000-57000) to be used for the gear drive installation project.

The gear drive unit equipment purchase was previously covered in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026 and is therefore not part of current financial considerations. 65 Resolution No. 6406

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and adopt Resolution No.6407, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving a Consulting Services Agreement with Cannon Corporation for Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) Services, in an Amount Not to Exceed $120,000, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Said Agreement on Behalf of the City of Soledad.”
Executive Summary
Problems that may arise in the City of Soledad’s (City’s) Water and Wastewater field equipment and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems require immediate attention and action as those systems control the multitude of valves and motors that help Operators control the treatment processes, as well as alert Operators of any issues that need attention. In the event that Water and Wastewater Operators are unable to resolve the issue(s), the City needs experts who specialize in Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) and are available on an as-needed on-call basis.

Cannon Corporation (Cannon) has provided those experts to the City for the past several years, and their professional services have proven invaluable. Cannon is also in the final integration stage for the newly acquired SCADA hardware and software. For these reasons, Cannon is uniquely qualified to provide I&C services to the City.

Background
The City of Soledad Water and Wastewater facilities contain sophisticated field equipment, such as sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and motor control 88 centers (MCCs), that are remotely linked to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) hardware and software. SCADA serves as the platform/hub that houses, controls, and displays signals relayed to and from each piece of field equipment.

While Water and Wastewater personnel are able to perform basic troubleshooting of SCADA and field equipment, more advanced troubleshooting requires the expertise of automation specialists and technicians who are knowledgeable and experienced in programming, integration, and system design, including schematics such process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).

Instrumentation and controls (I&C) services involve the design, installation, calibration, programming, and maintenance of industrial automation and measurement systems. These services ensure that equipment such as sensors, PLCs, HMIs, and MCCs operate properly.

Review & Analysis
Cannon Corporation (Cannon) has been providing on-going I&C services to the City for several years and is currently nearing completion on the SCADA servers integration project. Cannon’s service thus far has been timely, reliable, and high-quality.

Cannon’s current on-call Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Services Agreement will end on August 31, 2026. Cannon has provided an updated proposal to the City for continued I&C Services, using the same request for services (as-needed) basis that is currently being used.

On-demand I&C services support is absolutely essential for Water and Wastewater Operations, as time is crucial when dealing with faulty equipment that is meant to control flow rates, pressures, and other critical parameters.

Since the start of 2026, Operations personnel have used Cannon’s assistance approximately three to four times per month. Sometimes Cannon is able to solve SCADA issues remotely. A typical call-out to have Cannon diagnose equipment remotely costs around $1000 to $2000. Other times, if Cannon’s specialists need to travel to the City to diagnose and repair equipment, the cost may be closer to $3000 to $4000.

Staff estimates that $120,000 should be sufficient to cover Cannon I&C Services for the remainder of fiscal year (FY) 2026/2027.

Financial Considerations
Cannon I&C Services expenses will be covered under Professional Services and split 80/20 between Wastewater and Water, respectively.

FY 2026/2027 Budget Line 310-0000-52200 (Wastewater) - $96,000 FY 2026/2027 Budget Line 309-0000-52200 (Water) - $24,000 Strategic Plan Alignment
The approval of Resolution No. 6407 aligns with the City Council’s 2025 Strategic Plan Objective

3.4.1 – Upgrade and modernize water, wastewater, and stormwater systems for long-term sustainability and efficiency. Cannon I&C Services will help ensure that the City’s equipment remains operational and up-to-date.
89 Resolution No. 6407
Exhibit A
Attachment 1 - Cannon I&C Services Proposal
Alternatives
Adopt the attached resolution.

Do not adopt the attached resolution. This is not recommended, as Cannon provides timely and professional I&C services that help the City maintain and repair critical Water and Wastewater systems and equipment.

Planning/CEQA
The Consulting Services Agreement with Cannon Corporation for Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) Services is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(d) – Existing Facilities. This Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures and facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The proposed I&C services involve improvements to existing City facilities and will not result in an expansion of their existing use.

Public Notice Requirements
None required.

Any deductible or self-insured retention shall not exceed $150,000 per claim.

4.3.2 Claims-made limitations. The following provisions shall apply if the professional liability coverage is written on a claims-made form:
a. The retroactive date of the policy must be shown and must be before the date of the Agreement.
b. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five years after completion of the Agreement or the work, so long as commercially available at reasonable rates. 97 Consulting Services Agreement between August 19, 2026 City of Soledad and Cannon Corporation Page 6 of 14
1056293-1
c. If coverage is canceled or not renewed and it is not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date that precedes the date of this Agreement, Consultant must purchase an extended period coverage for a minimum of five years after completion of work under this Agreement.
d. A copy of the claim reporting requirements must be submitted to the City for review prior to the commencement of any work under this Agreement.

4.4 All Policies Requirements.

4.4.1 Acceptability of insurers. All insurance required by this section is to be placed with insurers with a Bests' rating of no less than A:VII.

4.4.2 Verification of coverage. Prior to beginning any work under this Agreement, Consultant shall furnish City with complete copies of all policies delivered to Consultant by the insurer, including complete copies of all endorsements attached to those policies. All copies of policies and endorsements shall show the signature of a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. If the City does not receive the required insurance documents prior to the Consultant beginning work, it shall not waive the Consultant’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

4.4.3 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Consultant shall disclose to and obtain the written approval of City for the self-insured retentions and deductibles before beginning any of the services or work called for by any term of this Agreement. At the option of the City, either: the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects the City, its officers, employees, and volunteers; or the Consultant shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to the City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

4.4.4 Wasting Policies. No policy required by this Section 4 shall include a “wasting” policy limit (i.e. limit that is eroded by the cost of defense).

4.4.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Consultant hereby agrees to waive subrogation which any insurer or contractor may require from vendor by virtue of the payment of any loss. Consultant agrees to obtain any endorsements that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation.

The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the entity for all work performed by the consultant, its employees, agents, and subcontractors.
98 Consulting Services Agreement between August 19, 2026 City of Soledad and Cannon Corporation Page 7 of 14
1056293-1

4.4.6 Subcontractors. Consultant shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.

4.4.7 Umbrella/Excess Liability Policy. Consultant maintains a commercial umbrella/excess liability policy with a limit of Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000). The Parties agree that this umbrella/excess policy provides adequate protection to the City in the event defense costs erode the limits of the underlying policies required under Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. Accordingly, the prohibition on “wasting” limits in Section 4.4.4 shall not apply to Consultant’s underlying policies, as the umbrella/excess liability coverage provides additional limits above any defense‑within‑limits erosion. All other insurance requirements of Section 4 remain in full force and effect.

4.5 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Consultant fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option exercise any of the following remedies, which are alternatives to other remedies City may have and are not the exclusive remedy for Consultant’s breach:
 Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under the Agreement;
 Order Consultant to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that becomes due to Consultant hereunder, or both stop work and withhold any payment, until Consultant demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof; and/or  Terminate this Agreement.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONSULTANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES.

Consultant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to City, and hold harmless City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of the Services or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.

The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this 99 Consulting Services Agreement between August 19, 2026 City of Soledad and Cannon Corporation Page 8 of 14
1056293-1
Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

With respect to third party claims against the Consultant, the Consultant waives any and all rights of any type to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnitees.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.

In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

Section 6. STATUS OF CONSULTANT.

6.1 Independent Contractor. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall be an independent contractor and shall not be an employee of City. City shall have the right to control Consultant only insofar as the results of Consultant's services rendered pursuant to this Agreement and assignment of personnel pursuant to Subparagraph 1.3; however, otherwise City shall not have the right to control the means by which Consultant accomplishes services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other City, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the contrary, Consultant and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any and all claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer contributions and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.

6.2 Consultant Not an Agent. Except as City may specify in writing, Consultant shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of City in any capacity whatsoever as an agent.

APPENDIX A: TERMS FOR CANNON INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM SERVICES Section 1: The Agreement

1.1 The agreement between Cannon and Client consists of the following terms, the attached proposal and any exhibits or attachments noted in the proposal. Together these elements will constitute the entire agreement superseding any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, or agreements either written or oral. Any changes to this agreement must be mutually agreed to in writing.

Section 2: Standard of Care

2.1 The process to design and install an integrated control system as described in the scope of work (the “Project”) requires the Client’s good faith participation in the design and training for an integrated control system. Cannon services will be based solely on information provided to Cannon. Cannon is responsible for its, interpretations, and recommendations based on supplied data, but will not be responsible for errors in supplied data or liable for errors resulting from the Client’s failure to meet its responsibilities required in the design process. Cannon is not liable for other parties' interpretations or use of the information developed for the Project or for work by third parties including, but not limited to, engineers, architects, contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers of Client.

2.2 Engineering and design services performed by Cannon under this agreement will be conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of this profession practicing contemporaneously under similar conditions in the locality of the project.

2.3 Cannon shall assign to Client, of if not assignable pursue on behalf of Client, any warranty available to Cannon and covering the hardware supplied by Cannon for the Project. CANNON MAKES NO OTHER

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF FREEDOM FROM PATENT

INFRINGEMENT, OF MERCHATABILITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULER PARUPOSE, OR OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES.

2.4 The Client recognizes that it is neither practical nor customary for Cannon to include all design specifications, fabrication, construction or installation details in plans and specifications, creating a need for interpretation by Cannon or an individual who is under Cannon’s supervision (“field review”). The Client also recognizes that field review permits Cannon to identify and correct quickly and at comparatively low cost professional errors or omissions that are revealed through construction, or errors or omissions committed by others due to misinterpretation of design documents, or due to other causes.

For the foregoing reasons field review is generally considered an essential element of a complete design professional service. Accordingly, if the Client directs Cannon not to provide field review, Cannon shall not be responsible for the consequences of any of Cannon’s acts, errors or omissions, except for those consequences which it reasonably could be concluded that Cannon’s review services would not have prevented or mitigated.

Section 3: Intellectual Property

3.1 The Client agrees that Cannon may use and publish the Client's name and a general description of Cannon’s services with respect to the Project in describing Cannon’s experience and qualifications to other clients and prospective clients.

3.2 The designs and software developed by Cannon and used for the Project, and any patentable or copyrightable concepts developed by Cannon as a consequence of service hereunder shall remain the sole intellectual property of Cannon. Following acceptance and final payment Cannon will grant to the Customer a non-transferrable, non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the software for the Customer’s internal purposes only.

Section 4: Billing and Payment

4.1 Cannon will bill Client, and Client will pay Cannon on a monthly basis. Prior to the start of the project, a retainer as specified in the proposal is required. Invoices for the balance will be submitted to Client by Cannon and will be due and payable within 10 days of invoice date. If Client objects to all or any portion of any invoice, Client will so notify Cannon in writing within fourteen (14) of the invoice date, identify the cause of the disagreement, and pay when due that portion of the invoice not in dispute. The parties will immediately make every effort to settle the disputed portion of the invoice. In the absence of written notification described above, the balance as stated on the invoice will be paid.

4.2 Invoices are delinquent if payment has not been received within thirty (30) days from date of invoice.

Client will pay an additional charge of 1-1/2 (1.5) percent per month or 18% per year of any delinquent amount, excepting any portion of the invoiced amount in dispute and resolved in favor of Client. All time spent and expenses incurred (including any attorney's fees) in connection with collection of any delinquent amount will be paid by Client to Cannon per Cannon’s current fee schedule. In the event Client fails to pay Cannon within sixty (60) days after invoices are rendered, Client agrees that Cannon will have the right to consider the failure to pay Cannon’s invoice a breach of this agreement.

4.3 Client agrees that if Client requests additional services as described in Section 5 below, Client will timely pay for all such additional services as extra work. Cannon will notify the Client prior to performance of services which are not specified in this agreement.

4.4 Client agrees that payment to Cannon is in no way contingent on the results of work by Cannon or on the outcome of any litigation.

4.5 Preparation and/or travel time will be charged at the hourly rate.

4.6 Billing rates are subject to change, typically on an annual basis.

Section 5: Additional Services

5.1 Additional services include making revisions in drawings, specifications or other documents when such revisions are:
a) Inconsistent with approvals or instructions previously given by the Client, including revisions made necessary by adjustments in the Client's program or project budget; or b) Required by the enactment or revision or codes, laws or regulations subsequent to the preparation of such documents.

5.2 Additional services includes providing services required because of significant changes in the project including, but not limited to, size, quality, complexity, the Client's schedule, or the method of bidding or negotiating and contracting for construction.

5.3 Where unexpected developments increase the scope of the Project and/or prove the assumptions of this proposal invalid, Cannon will make a reasonable effort to contact Client to discuss the effects and adjustments to cost.

Section 6: Site Access and Systems Conditions

6.1 Client will grant or obtain free access to the site for all equipment and personnel necessary for Cannon to perform the work set forth in this agreement. Client will notify any and all possessors of the project site that Client has granted Cannon free access to the site. Cannon will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the site, but it is understood by Client that, in the normal course of work, some damage may occur and the correction of such damage is not part of this agreement unless so specified in the proposal.

6.2 Client will share operational requirements, specifications for the Project, and the Client’s technical contacts in a timely manner consistent with the scope of the Project. Cannon and Client will communicate regularly to support and coordinate completion of the Project and any commissioning required under this agreement.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6408, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Accepting a Grant in the Amount of $167,219.33 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) for the AB2766 Clean Air Management Program (CAMP) Grant on Behalf of the City of Soledad
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Don Wilcox, Public Works Director and Alex Ramos, Engineering Project Manager
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and adopt Resolution No.6408, “Accepting a Grant in the Amount of $167,219.33 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) for the AB2766 Clean Air Management Program (CAMP) Grant on Behalf of the City of Soledad .” Executive Summary
The City of Soledad has been actively modernizing the Soledad Community Center through a phased approach to address decades of deferred maintenance and improve one of the City's most utilized public facilities. As part of the original modernization effort, publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging stations were identified as a future improvement but were deferred due to funding limitations.

The Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) has awarded the City $167,219.33 through its FY25 AB 2766 Clean Air Management Program (CAMP) to support installation of Level 2 EV charging stations at the Soledad Community Center. Approval of the proposed Resolution will authorize the City to accept the grant, execute the grant agreement, and continue implementation of a previously planned component of the Community Center Modernization Project.

Background
Over the past several years, the City has made an effort to modernize the Soledad Community Center and address decades of deferred maintenance. In 2022, the City completed a comprehensive assessment of the facility and developed a phased modernization plan to improve accessibility, building systems, 116
public amenities, and the overall functionality of one of the City's most utilized public facilities.

Funding made available through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allowed the City to complete many of the highest-priority improvements, including a commercial kitchen remodel, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility upgrades, and improvements to the gymnasium and stage.

As part of the original modernization planning effort, the City also identified the installation of publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging stations as a future improvement to better serve Community Center visitors and expand access to clean transportation infrastructure. However, due to available project funding and construction costs at the time of bidding, the City prioritized critical life-safety, accessibility, and building improvements, deferring the EV charging infrastructure to a future phase while continuing to pursue outside funding opportunities.

The Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) administers the AB 2766 Clean Air Management Program (CAMP), which provides competitive grant funding for projects that reduce motor vehicle emissions and improve access to alternative transportation infrastructure. Recognizing that the Soledad Community Center serves as one of the City's primary community gathering places and was already identified as a future EV charging location, staff submitted an application requesting grant funding to install publicly accessible Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations at the facility. The application requested the program's maximum award of $200,000.

MBARD awarded the City $167,219.33 through its FY25 AB 2766 Clean Air Management Program to install public Level 2 EV charging stations at the Soledad Community Center to install one dual-port and one single-port publicly accessible Level 2 EV charging stations.

Review & Analysis
The grant agreement establishes the terms and conditions under which the City will receive reimbursement funding from MBARD for the installation of publicly accessible Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations at the Soledad Community Center. As a reimbursement grant, eligible project costs will be reimbursed upon completion of work and submission of the required documentation in accordance with the grant agreement. The agreement also establishes project completion deadlines, reporting requirements, and operational commitments necessary to maintain compliance with the program.

Acceptance of the grant agreement authorizes the City to move forward with project implementation, including final design, preparation of construction documents, bidding, and construction. Staff will continue coordinating with MBARD, PG&E, and technical consultants throughout design and construction to ensure the project is delivered in accordance with grant requirements and applicable regulatory standards.

Staff has reviewed the grant agreement and determined that its terms and conditions are reasonable and consistent with the City's objectives. Acceptance of the grant will allow the City to leverage outside funding to complete a previously planned Community Center improvement while minimizing the use of local funding.

Financial Considerations
The proposed project is primarily funded through the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) FY25 AB 2766 Clean Air Management Program (CAMP) Grant in the amount of $167,219.33. Grant funds will be used toward the design, procurement, and installation of Level 2 electric vehicle charging infrastructure at the Soledad Community Center in accordance with the grant agreement. 117
Resolution No. 6408
Exhibit A - MBARD Grant Agreement
At the time of this report, staff is continuing to evaluate the final project scope and any additional funding necessary to fully implement the project. Should additional City funding be recommended beyond the awarded grant amount, staff will return to the City Council for consideration as part of a future budget or contract action.

Acceptance of the grant agreement does not require an additional General Fund appropriation at this time.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This project is consistent with Objective 4.1.3 – Expand and modernize the Community Center for youth, seniors, and multicultural programming. Specifically, the Strategic Plan identifies continued investment in facility modernization, accessibility, and site improvements to transform the Community Center into a modern, inclusive, and resilient community asset. The proposed EV charging station improvements directly support the Strategic Plan's objective of enhancing parking lot infrastructure and completing the long-term modernization of the Community Center.

Alternatives
Adopt the proposed Resolution; or
Do not adopt the proposed Resolution. This alternative is not recommended because it would forgo $167,219.33 in grant funding, delay implementation of a previously identified Community Center improvement, and hinder progress toward achieving the City's Strategic Plan objective of modernizing the Community Center and enhancing public infrastructure.

Planning/CEQA
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) and 15303 (Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of the existing or former use. Class 3 consists of the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures, including accessory utility improvements. The proposed project consists of installing publicly accessible Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations and associated electrical infrastructure within the existing developed parking area of the Soledad Community Center. The project involves minor improvements to an existing public facility and the installation of small accessory utility infrastructure, and will not result in a significant expansion of the existing use.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6409, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Authorizing the Submittal of an Application to the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) for a Community Resilience Centers (CRC) Round 2 Planning Grant in the Amount of $500,000
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Ana Ambriz, Parks and Recreation Director
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and approve Resolution No. 6409 “Authorizing the Submittal of an Application to the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) for a Community Resilience Centers (CRC) Round 2 Planning Grant in the Amount of $500,000”.

Executive Summary
Consistent with the Soledad Strategic Plan, City staff recommend applying for up to $500,000 from the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) through the Community Resilience Centers (CRC) Round 2 Planning Grant Program. If awarded, the grant would fund preparation of a Facility Master Plan for the Soledad Community Center to assess the facility and identify improvements needed to enhance its function as a Community Resilience Center capable of serving residents during emergencies and other community needs. To proceed with the application, the City Council must adopt a resolution authorizing the City to submit the grant application and, if awarded, execute the required grant documents and take all necessary actions to implement the planning project. The grant application is due September 4, 2026.

Background
The Soledad Community Center is the City's primary community gathering facility. The 23,513- square-foot building was constructed in 1993 and provides recreation, programs, activities, and services for residents of all ages, including youth, seniors, families, and community groups.

The Community Center also plays an important role during emergencies. It is used as a cooling and clean air center during extreme heat and wildfire smoke events and can provide services to residents during power outages and other emergencies. In partnership with PG&E, the facility also serves as a 139
Community Resource Center during Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events.

The City has already made a significant investment in the Community Center. Approximately $1.5 million in federal funding has been used for improvements, including upgrades to the kitchen, gymnasium, lighting, and other areas of the facility. While these improvements have addressed some of the facility's needs, additional work is still needed to fully modernize the Community Center and improve its ability to serve residents during emergencies. Remaining needs may include building and accessibility improvements, heating and cooling upgrades, emergency power, energy improvements, and other facility upgrades.

The California Strategic Growth Council's Community Resilience Centers Program provides funding to help communities prepare for climate-related emergencies while supporting facilities that provide year-round community benefits. Eligible planning activities can help communities identify needed improvements, engage residents and community partners, and develop plans for future implementation funding.

The City proposes to use the CRC Round 2 Planning Grant to plan for the continued improvement of the Soledad Community Center and its transformation into a Community Resilience Center. The resulting Facility Master Plan would provide the City with a clear roadmap for future improvements and help position the City to seek additional state and federal funding for implementation.

Review & Analysis
The proposed CRC Planning Grant would allow the City to develop a detailed plan for the future improvements needed to transform the Soledad Community Center into a Community Resilience Center.

The planning process would help the City understand the facility's current condition, identify the most important improvements, and develop a clear plan for moving forward. The work is expected to include:

Existing facility assessment
Community needs assessment
Climate vulnerability assessment
Community engagement and stakeholder outreach
Collaborative governance framework
Architectural programming
Conceptual site planning
Solar and battery feasibility
HVAC and emergency power assessments
Emergency operations planning
Community programming recommendations
Preliminary construction cost estimates
Funding and implementation strategy
If awarded, the primary outcome of the planning project will be a Soledad Community Resilience Center Facility Master Plan. The Master Plan will identify and prioritize facility improvements, develop preliminary cost estimates, identify potential funding sources, and establish recommended next steps for implementation. As part of the planning process, the City will partner with at least one local nonprofit organization and establish a governance structure to guide future improvements and position 140
Resolution No. 6409
the City to compete for a future CRC Implementation Grant. City staff have initiated discussions with the Alliance on Aging as a potential nonprofit partner, building on the recently established citizen committee that is helping guide efforts to strengthen and expand senior services in Soledad and throughout South Monterey County.

The grant application is due by September 4, 2026.

Financial Considerations
The City will request up to $500,000 in CRC Round 2 Planning Grant funding. No local matching funds are required for the Planning Grant.

If the grant is awarded, City staff will manage the project according to the grant agreement and program requirements.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Approval of this resolution supports the City's 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, including:

Goal 4.1 – Enhance and Expand Public Parks, Open Space, and Community Facilities Action 4.1.3 – Expand and modernize the Community Center for youth, seniors, and multicultural programming.

Goal 4.5 – Improve City Facilities and Create New Community Spaces Action 4.5.3 – Assess and modernize community facilities.

Goal 3.4 – Promote Sustainable Infrastructure and Environmental Resiliency Goal 6.4 – Foster Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Response, and Community Resilience Alternatives
Approve Resolution No. 6409; or
Deny Resolution No. 6409 and provide direction to staff.

Planning/CEQA
Authorization to submit an application for a planning grant is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because the action will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The action is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the Commonsense Exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that submitting the grant application will not have a significant effect on the environment. Any future capital improvement project identified or advanced as a result of the planning grant will be subject to separate environmental review under CEQA prior to approval or implementation.

Public Notice Requirements
Not required.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 1.

Recommendation

1. It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and thereafter consider, waive reading, adopt and read by title only “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Soledad Retroactively Authorizing the Purchase and Use of an Unmanned Aerial System (Drone) and Making Findings in Compliance with Soledad Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment”
and;

2. It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and thereafter consider, waive reading, adopt and read by title only “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Soledad Retroactively Authorizing the Purchase and Use of Two FN Herstal 303 Less Lethal Launchers and Ammunition and Making Findings in Compliance with Soledad Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment.”
Executive Summary
On June 15, 2022, the Soledad City Council adopted Ordinance No. 743 approving Soledad Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment, which imposes a number of requirements on the City and Police Department with respect to the acquisition and use of military equipment. 144
Pursuant to Government Code Section 7071 and Soledad Police Department Policy Manual Policy 709, a law enforcement agency must obtain approval of the City Council by ordinance prior to acquiring military equipment.

Notwithstanding, on March 4, 2026, the Police Department purchased a DJI Avata 2 FPV drone, and in December of 2025, the Police Department purchased two FN Herstal 303 Less Lethal Launchers and ammunition, both of which were for the Department use, without going through the mandatory purchase protocol established by law, ordinance and Policy 709. In order to rectify these mistakes, the City is now seeking retroactive approval of the acquisition and use of the drone and the launchers and ammunition by separate ordinances. Use of the drone and the launchers will be prohibited until approved by the City Council. Ordinance No. 782, concerning the drone, was introduced and read by title only on July 1, 2026, while Ordinance No. 783, concerning the launchers, was introduced and read by title only on August 5. Both ordinances are before the Council for public hearing this evening and thereafter consideration of adoption.

Background
On June 25, 2022, in accordance with AB 481, the Soledad City Council adopted Ordinance No. 743 approving Soledad Police Department Manual Policy 709-Military Equipment. Policy 709 establishes a military equipment use protocol that is consistent with the Department’s current practices, complies with the requirements of the Government Code, ensures regulation and compliance with relevant law on an ongoing basis, and provides a means for community engagement and transparency regarding the use of military equipment. Annual reports concerning the Department’s military equipment have been prepared and approved at public meetings on an ongoing basis, and Ordinance No. 743 has been renewed by resolution every year since its adoption.

In preparing this year’s Annual Military Equipment Report, staff discovered that the City had two sets of new military equipment that were acquired without going through the proper process. The first set of such equipment, a DJI Avata 2 FPV UAS drone and accessories purchased in 2026, was the subject of a staff report brought before the Council on July 1, 2026. The drone was purchased under the mistaken belief that this type of equipment was exempt from military equipment acquisition provisions.

The second set of equipment purchased without proper authorization consists of two FN Herstal 303 Less Lethal Launchers (“Launchers”) and 760 rounds of ammunition (projectiles) purchased in December of 2025. Former police leadership misunderstood this equipment would also be classified under the Department’s military equipment policy.

Both the DJI Avata Drone and the Launchers were added to the Soledad Police Department AB 481 Annual Report for 2025-26 for transparency purposes. The Department is prohibited from using either set of equipment until the City Council has retroactively approved acquisition and use of the same.

Review & Analysis
As referenced above, Staff is seeking the retroactive approval of the purchase of military equipment for police department use pursuant to Government Code Section 7071 and Policy 709. The first set of equipment is the DJI Avata combo package, which includes accessories necessary for the drone’s use, such as a remote control console, battery and charger. The DJI Avata model is significantly smaller than the City’s other drone unit and can be used for indoor flights, such as securing a building or a residence during a search warrant service. The Avata 2 can be flown into a building prior to sending in officers and it can perch itself onto a table or countertop allowing a live video feed of the area where the officers are about to enter. This feature would provide an extra layer of defense against a potential ambush 145
situation. The Avata 2 model could also be useful during active-shooter type situations. The Police Department has two pilots who have been trained in the use of this type of drone, and the Department believes this new drone will complement the uses and service provided by the drones owned and operated by CALFIRE.

The cost of the drone and attendant equipment and technical assistance was $1,459.04. This price falls well below the City’s threshold requiring purchases by bids. See Soledad Municipal Code Section

3.24.040.

Use of the new drone will be subject to Soledad Police Department Policy 613, a copy of which is attached hereto as Attachment A, to enhance the Department’s mission to protect lives and property when other means and resources are not available or might be less effective. All uses must comply with all Soledad Police Department Policies and relevant laws concerning Constitutional guarantees and privacy rights, as well as Federal Aviation Administration regulations. Additionally, use of the drone will be overseen by the Chief of Police as the City’s Military Equipment Coordinator.

The second set of equipment is two Launchers and two different types of projectiles. The Launchers are meant to be used in circumstances where lethal force is not authorized, necessary, or appropriate. Of the two types of projectiles that can be used with the Launchers, the first type provides the delivery of specific blunt force while the second type bursts upon striking a subject and releases a synthetic form of pepper powder that causes immediate eye closure, respiratory distress, and mucous membrane irritation and burning. Taken as a whole, this less lethal system allows officers to address violent, assaultive or actively resistant behavior from a safer distance, minimizing the need for close physical contact and reducing the risk of injury to officers, the involved subjects, and bystanders.

The total cost of the Launchers and projectiles was $8,100.26. As with the drone, this price falls well below the City’s threshold requiring purchases by bids. See Soledad Municipal Code Section 3.24.040.

Use of the Launchers will be subject to Soledad Police Department Policies 300-Use of Force and 308- Control Devices and Techniques, copies of which are attached hereto as Attachments B and C, to gauge the amount of force to be used under specific circumstances and utilize control devices such as non-lethal projectiles to control violent or potentially violent subjects. All use must comply with all Soledad Police Department Policies and relevant laws concerning use of force.

Staff has prepared an Ordinance for each of the equipment sets discussed above, that if approved, will retroactively authorize the purchase of the DJI Avata 2 drone, controller, and attendant equipment for a cost not to exceed $1,459.04 and the FN Herstal 303 Less Lethal Launchers and 760 projectiles for a cost not to exceed $8,100.26. Each Ordinance contains the findings necessary to support the purchases.

The Ordinances also direct the Police Department’s Military Equipment Coordinator to incorporate this purchase, information concerning the use of the equipment, and other relevant data in the Police Department’s Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Military Equipment Use Report. (This information has already been incorporated into the 2025-2026 Report.) As was noted above, until the Council retroactively approves the acquisition of the referenced equipment, it may not be used by the Department.

Ordinance No. 782 and Ordinance No. 783 are before the Council this evening for public hearing, waiver of reading, adoption and reading by title only.
146
Ordinance No. 782
Ordinance No. 783
Attachment A - Policy 613, Unmanned Aerial System
Attachment B - Policy 300, Use of Force
Attachment C - Policy 308, Control Devices and Techniques Financial Considerations
The DJI Avata 2 drone has already been purchased for a cost of $1,459.04. The FN Herstal 303 Less Lethal Launchers and projectiles have also already been purchased at a cost of $8,100.26. No further expenditures are authorized by the action before the Council.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Approval of acquisition of the DJI Avata 2 drone and the Herstal Less Lethal Launchers and projectiles is consistent with Soledad Strategic Plan Objective Goal 6.2.2-Modernize technology to enhance department capacity. The Avata 2 will provide the Department with a variety of means to accomplish its mission to provide citizens with a safe and open community by detecting and preventing crime and assisting with preparation for emergencies. The
Launchers provide the Department with two new force options to respond to violent and dangerous conduct when the use of deadly force may not be justified or desirable. Said tools provide for greater safety to officers, citizens, and the subjects of police force. Additionally, compliance with procurement procedures associated with military equipment is consistent with Soledad Strategic Plan Goal 6.1- Strengthen Community Trust and Public Safety through Partnership and Community Policing, and Objective 6.1.1-Strengthen relationships between police and residents, by increasing transparency with respect to the purchase and use of military equipment for law enforcement purposes. Retroactive application of the City’s rules and procedures provides assurance to the community that the City is committed to its policies and willing to disclose and correct mistakes when possible.

Alternatives
Approve Ordinance Nos. 782 and 783
Do not approve Ordinance Nos. 782 and 783. This is not recommended as the drone and launchers have already been purchased and are in use by many other police departments as effective law enforcement tools.

Planning/CEQA
Approval of the Ordinances is exempt from environmental review under the general rule in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. As the purchase of equipment for law enforcement purposes, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that these Ordinances will have a significant effect on the environment.

Public Notice Requirements
Public notices for the second reading of Ordinance Nos. 782 and 783 were published in accordance with applicable law.

TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Mike Howard, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad and the Successor Agency of the Soledad Redevelopment Agency take the following actions:

1. Consider and Adopt Joint Resolution No. 6403/SA-2026-02, Accepting and Approving the 2026- 2027 Fiscal Year Proposed Budget; and

2. Authorize the City Manager and Finance Director to realign the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 to reflect the Estimated Actual Revenues and Expenditures for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year; and

3. Approve the Position Allocation for FY 2026-2027; and

4. Reaffirm the Salary Schedule of the City’s Classification & Compensation Plan for FY 2026- 2027 approved at the August 5, 2026 City Council Meeting, including compensation for City Council, Planning Commissioners, and City of Soledad Transactions and Use Oversight Committee Members; and

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

6. Establish the Proposition 4 General Fund Appropriations Limitation for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Executive Summary
Each year, staff prepares a Citywide operating budget for City Council adoption. For fiscal year 2026– 2027, staff is presenting a budget that includes several reductions due to the failure of Measure A and increased costs for the CAL FIRE contract, insurance, 911 services, and employee benefits. Even with these reductions, anticipated expenditures exceed anticipated revenues by $444,204. The budget also includes several positions that will remain unfunded in FY 2026–2027, with all related cost impacts reflected in the proposed budget. Enterprise funds are budgeted in accordance with the 2021 Water and Sewer Rate Study Plan and are operating as intended. Similarly, all special revenue funds are budgeted 173
consistent with their designated purposes. The City is fortunate to currently maintain healthy reserves, including the General Fund Operating Reserve and the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund. Although future challenges remain, staff is confident that, by partnering with the City Council on decisions to secure new revenue sources, the City can address these ongoing fiscal challenges.

Background
Preparing a program and financial plan to guide the City organization into the future is both a professional challenge and a professional honor—one that comes around each year and again at midyear review, particularly during periods of declining or uncertain revenues. City staff have spent considerable time developing the proposed Citywide Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The current war with Iran continues to influence our local and national economy. The war coupled with the failure of Measure has created additional fiscal uncertainty, therefore, the most prudent approach is to present a budget that includes several reductions to offset the increased costs of the CAL FIRE contract, insurance, 911 dispatch fees and employee benefits in fiscal year 2026-2027. At the same time, some of the City’s key revenue sources are projected to remain relatively flat in FY 2026-2027, namely property and sales taxes.

The General Fund is presented using $444,204 of the General Fund operating reserve to balance the fiscal year, the Enterprise Funds are balanced and are hereby submitted for City Council consideration, acceptance, and approval. The operating budget also includes the budget for fiscal year 2026-2027 for the Successor Agency to the Soledad Redevelopment Agency which reflects the approved California Department of Finance Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for fiscal year 2026-2027.

Review & Analysis
This budget is presented with several reductions to offset the known and largely uncontrollable cost increases, while also recognizing the current economic climate and the financial effects on several of the City's revenue sources. While the budget is presented with a deficit at this time, Staff’s hope is that the City will be able to reevaluate the actual financial impacts of the economy and make appropriate adjustments as part of the mid-year budget review.

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

Revenues are not keeping pace with increasing expenditures. The City continues to face significant uncontrollable or difficult-to-control expenses, including cost-of-living increases, fire staffing costs, workers’ compensation, liability insurance, 911 dispatch costs, and CalPERS increases.

A new ongoing revenue source will be needed to support required Fire Department staffing levels beginning in FY 2026-2027 and beyond. Current estimates indicate that the City will need to generate approximately $800,000 to $1.0 million in additional annual revenue to support the transition to 3-0 staffing.

The increasing cost of maintaining General Fund-supported infrastructure remains a significant ongoing challenge. Many City facilities and buildings require maintenance, repairs, and ongoing investment, creating additional pressure on limited General Fund resources.

What is not included in the proposed budget
The budget is presented with several reductions. One of the reductions is to leave certain currently vacant positions unfunded rather than laying off existing staff. The vacant, unfunded positions in the 174
FY 2026-2027 budget will result in some service reductions across departments. Staff will utilize feedback from various community outreach events to help guide decisions regarding these service reductions.

The positions that will not be funded include the IT Manager, Community Engagement Coordinator, Community Service Officer, Police Officer, Recreation Program Coordinator, temporary positions, and seasonal positions. Contract services budgets were also reduced, with staff assuming additional responsibilities, such as grant administration and project construction management, where appropriate.

The contract for lobbying services was also eliminated from the budget.

General Fund
The FY 2026-2027 General Fund budget is presented as deficit spending by $444,204, and uses $58,000 of the General Fund Capital Reserve interest earnings to fund two capital projects. Revenues are projected at $15,942,457; expenditures at $16,386,661. If the FY 2025-2026 closes as planned, the general fund, fund balance operating reserve should be approximately $3,807,896, after the $2,000,000 Emergency Reserve set by Council. The City is still faced with several economic challenges, where our current percentage increase in expenditures is larger than the expected percentage of revenue growth.

The presented budget continues to maintain essential services. Additionally, the presented budget maintains all salary increases scheduled in our current Memorandums of Understandings.

The City continues to have a General Fund Capital Reserve for future city capital needs, such as new facilities for public safety or city staff. The balance of that fund at the end of FY 2026-2027 is estimated to be $7,364,000.

Measure Y
Measure Y, a temporary emergency one-percent sales tax measure approved by voters in June 2012, became effective in October 2012. The five-year measure was originally scheduled to sunset in October 2017; however, following voter approval of Measure I in November 2014, the tax was extended for an additional 15 years through 2032.

Proceeds from Measure Y continue to be essential in preserving City services. It represents about 15% of the General Fund revenue.

Consistent with the Ordinance that enacted the temporary sales tax measure, the City Council established a joint 7-member City of Soledad Transactions and Use Tax Oversight Committee which meets quarterly to review revenues and expenditures.

Staff’s projection for FY 2026-2027 is $2,428,000. The City of Soledad Transactions and Use Tax Oversight Committee is now meeting quarterly and have had two meeting so far. The proposed budget was built with the previous committed allocations for public safety personnel and the CAL FIRE contract increases.

Proceeds (Estimate) $2,428,000
Administration 1%
Police 57%
Fire 42%
175
The Budget document for fiscal year 2026-2027 shows how the Measure Y funds are programmed as recommended by previously allocated ongoing costs presented for City Council approval.

Measure S
Measure S, the one-half percent sales tax measure which was placed on the November 2020 election ballot, became effective April 2021. The measure is to fund quality of life service for the community and does not have an expiration date.

Proceeds from Measure S continue to be essential in preserving City services. It represents about 8% of the General Fund revenue.

Consistent with the Ordinance that enacted the sales tax measure, the City Council established a joint 7- member City of Soledad Transactions and Use Tax Oversight Committee which meets quarterly to review revenues and expenditures and recreation programs.

Staff’s projection for FY 2026-2027 is $1,214,000.

The following departments are partially funded by Measure S funds. Measure S funds approximately

54.9% of these services.

Parks $855,023
Recreation $1,101,650
Animals $137,646
Community Engagement $103,002
Administration $12,140
Total $2,209,461
General Fund Revenues
General Fund Revenues are budgeted to be $426,650, higher than the previous year. Most of this increase is due to projected increase in vehicle license fee related revenue. Other increases are in projected Utility User Tax revenues.

General Fund Expenditures
General Fund Expenditures are budgeted to be $299,175, higher than the previous year’s budget. The main reasons for the increase are increases in the CAL FIRE contract, insurance, 911 costs, and employee benefits. However, the full impact of these increases is not fully realized, and is being offset by the vacant positions not being funded in the budget. The actual total expenditure increase was much higher but is being off-set by the salary reductions of the unfunded position.

Other General Fund increases are normal operating cost increases for supplies and utilities as well as staff cost of living increases.

The Water Fund
For the FY 2026-2027 budget the Water Enterprise Fund is expected to have a surplus in the Fiscal Year 176
by approximately $282,044, to build reserves for future repairs. Expenditures include $1,146,233 for Capital Projects, with $467,510, of that being Grant Funded. The planned Capital Projects align with the Water and Sewer Rate Study performed in 2021.

Wastewater Operating Fund
The Wastewater Operating Enterprise Fund is budgeted to operate with a deficit of $1,659,322 for the fiscal year. Capital Projects are budgeted at $1,335,500 for the fiscal year, which are financed through the enterprise reserves. Many of the projects are part of the Wastewater Assessment Report completed in FY 2025-2026.

Solid Waste Fund
The Solid Waste Fund is presented as balanced. As mentioned in the General Fund section, Franchise Fee residual is being transferred to the General Fund annually.

Successor Agency
The Successor Agency (Former RDA) Fund is a Private Purpose Trust Fund, which means the City of Soledad is an agent to the State of California for these funds. The only expenditures are debt service payments and administrative costs related to the bonds.

Conclusion
As stated earlier, this budget presents several reductions to better align anticipated expenditures with anticipated revenues. Several issues are on the horizon that will require strategic attention as the City continues to grow, pursue its vision, and work towards its goal of fiscal stability. One issue we continue to monitor closely is the increasing cost of CalPERS which is affecting all jurisdictions throughout the state. The City will need to continue identifying additional revenue sources to offset ever-increasing costs to the General Fund.

It is important to note that the full financial impact of staff the Fire Department with three firefighters per shift will be reflecting in the FY 2027-2028 budget. Without additional revenue, further reductions will likely be necessary in future fiscal year budgets.

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

Financial Considerations
As indicated in the budget documents attached, the General Fund as presented in the proposed budget, uses $444,204 of operating reserves to balance the FY 2026-2027 budget.

Strategic Plan Alignment
The adoption of the joint City of Soledad and Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency directly relates to strategic goal 10.5.1 - Maintain fiscal stability and responsible financial management.

By having an approved fiscal year budget, Staff has a roadmap for fiscal responsibility and cost containment.

City Manager’s Budget Message
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers,
On behalf of the Soledad Team, I am privileged to present to you and the community our Recommended Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget for Fiscal Year 26-27.

Budget Summary
The FY 2026–27 Recommended Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget reflects the City of Soledad’s commitment to maintaining essential services while addressing a significant structural budget deficit. For the first time, the budget is directly aligned with the City’s 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, connecting resources and departmental work programs to the City Council’s adopted priorities. While the City is experiencing modest growth in property and sales tax revenues, expenditures continue to rise at a faster rate, driven primarily by increasing costs for the CAL FIRE contract, insurance, 911 dispatch services, and other inflationary pressures. The most significant challenge is the required increase in CAL FIRE staffing from two to three firefighters per shift. Measure A was placed on the June 2, 2026 ballot to provide additional funding for fire and emergency services but did not pass, requiring the City to absorb these increased costs within existing General Fund resources.

In response, all City departments worked collaboratively to reduce expenditures by approximately 10%, including freezing vacant positions in public safety, recreation, parks maintenance, and community engagement and reducing training and professional services.

These decisions were informed by the Strategic Plan and community input gathered through the Budget Workshop, a citywide survey, and three community pop-up events. Because this deficit is structural and the continued use of reserves is not sustainable, the City must identify additional ongoing revenue, make further service reductions, or pursue a combination of both.

To assist with the shortfall, the City will continue to prioritize economic development to expand the tax base, aggressively pursue grants, and carefully manage expenditures.

Budget Overview
Fiscal Year 2026–27 marks the first year the City’s budget is built around the Strategic Plan adopted by the City Council on November 5, 2025. Developed collaboratively by the City Council and staff with input from residents and community stakeholders, the Strategic Plan establishes the City’s vision, mission, and priorities for the next five years. Its goals, measurable objectives, and key initiatives are now integrated into the City’s budget, Capital Improvement 182
Program, and departmental work plans, creating a stronger connection between community priorities and how City resources are allocated.

Guiding this work is the City’s vision: Serving as the gateway to Pinnacles National Park, Soledad is a small town with big ideas that celebrates our rich cultural heritage and diversity.

We are a welcoming and inclusive community, committed to advancing equity, sustainable growth, and environmental stewardship—improving quality of life, supporting businesses, and being a safe and healthy city where everyone thrives.

The FY 2026–27 Budget was developed during a particularly challenging fiscal period.

Measure A was placed on the June 2, 2026 ballot to provide additional funding for fire and emergency services but did not pass. At the same time, under the City’s agreement with CAL FIRE, fire departmentstaffing must increase from two to three firefighters per shift. This phased increase is intended to meet nationally recognized safety standards and provide greater protection for both firefighters and the community. The City is fully responsible for the cost of its CAL FIRE contract, as these personnel costs are not subsidized by the State.

The cost of the CAL FIRE contract, combined with rising insurance, 911 dispatch, personnel, and other inflationary costs, has contributed to a structural General Fund deficit. While the City continues to experience modest growth in property and sales tax revenues, that growth is not sufficient to keep pace with increasing expenditures. Without the additional revenue anticipated from Measure A, the City must reduce expenditures and services to address the gap.

To help guide these difficult decisions, the City sought community input through the July 29 Budget Workshop, a citywide survey, and three community pop-up events. This feedback, together with the Strategic Plan, helped identify the services most important to residents and informed proposed reductions. The FY 2026–27 Budget leaves vacant positions unfilled in areas including public safety, recreation, parks maintenance, and community engagement and reduces non-essential training, professional services, and other program expenditures.

Collectively, City departments worked to reduce controllable expenditures by approximately 10% while minimizing impacts to essential services.

General Fund revenues for FY 2026–27 are projected at $15,942,457, compared with expenditures of $16,386,661, resulting in a projected deficit of $444,204. The deficit will be funded through General Fund operating reserves. While the City has sufficient reserves to address the immediate shortfall, using reserves to fund ongoing operations is not a sustainable long-term strategy.

Looking ahead, economic development will remain a critical component of the City’s fiscal strategy. New businesses and investment expand the local economy and generate additional General Fund revenue, including revenues associated with Measures Y and S. The City will also continue to aggressively pursue state, federal, and regional grants and other outside funding to advance community priorities while reducing pressure on the General Fund. If additional ongoing revenue becomes available, the Strategic Plan and community input gathered through the budget process will help guide decisions about restoring services and positions. 183
This budget represents a collaborative effort across the entire organization. Under the leadership of the Assistant City Manager and Finance Department, every department participated in identifying savings and developing a transparent and accountable spending plan that recognizes the City’s fiscal constraints while continuing to advance Council and community priorities.

Despite these challenges, Soledad is fortunate to have dedicated employees who continue to provide essential services with professionalism, teamwork, customer service, and innovation. I am proud of their commitment to our community and their continued efforts to ensure that “It’s happening in Soledad!”
Fiscal Year 2025-2026 in Review
Guided by the City’s Strategic Plan, staff made significant progress on community priorities and completed a number of important projects and initiatives during FY 2025–26. The accomplishments highlighted below represent only a portion of the work undertaken by City staff throughout the year. Many reflect several years of planning, coordination, community engagement, and funding efforts that culminated in successful implementation or completion during FY 2025–26.
• Advanced major economic development at Soledad Marketplace, including completion of Tractor Supply, permitting of Wingstop, and permit approval for Quick Quack Car Wash to begin construction in late 2026.

• Secured nearly $5 million in grants.

Goals FY 2026-2027
As economic uncertainty continues, the FY 2026–27 Budget prioritizes fiscal stability, essential services, and continued progress on the City’s Strategic Plan. The budget provides a responsible framework for monitoring financial conditions throughout the year and making adjustments as revenues and the broader economic outlook evolve. Despite current fiscal constraints, the City remains committed to advancing key community priorities.

Future Challenges
The City of Soledad faces significant fiscal challenges that required service and expenditure reductions in FY 2026–27 and will require continued difficult decisions in the years ahead. The cost of providing essential services is growing faster than City revenues, creating a structural 186
General Fund deficit. Rising costs for CAL FIRE staffing, employee compensation, workers’ compensation and liability insurance, 911 dispatch services, and CalPERS obligations are placing increasing pressure on limited General Fund resources. Without sufficient new ongoing revenue, the City will need to continue carefully managing expenditures and may face additional service reductions in future years.

Following the failure of Measure A, securing sustainable funding for fire and emergency services remains one of the City’s most significant financial challenges. Through the phased implementation of required CAL FIRE staffing increases, the City was able to limit the additional impact in FY 2026–27 to approximately $500,000. Beginning in FY 2027–28, however, the City is projected to need at least $1 million in additional ongoing revenue to maintain required fire staffing and other essential services. The City will need to evaluate a range of long-term revenue strategies, potentially including future tax measures, while continuing to identify efficiencies and control expenditures.

Aging infrastructure and public facilities also present growing financial challenges. The City will complete a comprehensive facilities assessment during FY 2026–27 to better understand and prioritize long-term maintenance and capital needs. Some significant needs are already known, including replacement of the City Hall roof, currently estimated at approximately $500,000. As facilities and infrastructure age, the City will need to balance these investments against competing demands for essential services.

Longer term, the City must prepare for the expiration of Measure Y, the one-cent local sales tax that currently generates approximately 16% of General Fund revenues and provides critical support for public safety and other essential services. Measure Y is scheduled to sunset in 2032, and the loss of this revenue without a replacement would have a significant impact on the City’s ability to maintain existing service levels.

The City must also ensure that growth and utility services are adequately funded. Updating Development Impact Fees and completing an updated Water and Sewer Rate Study will be important to ensure that new development pays its appropriate share of infrastructure costs and that utility revenues are sufficient to support operations, maintenance, regulatory requirements, and long-term capital investment.

Addressing these challenges will require continued fiscal discipline, strategic planning, and collaboration among the City Council, staff, and community. Decisions made over the next several years will be critical to maintaining the City’s financial health and protecting the services residents rely upon.

Opportunities for the Future
While Soledad faces significant fiscal and operational challenges, the City also has substantial opportunities for economic growth, housing development, and private investment that can strengthen the local economy and expand the City’s revenue base. 187
Private investment continues to grow, particularly in projects that generate sales and property tax revenue. Soledad Marketplace continues to expand with the completion of Tractor Supply and the anticipated construction of Quick Quack Car Wash in late 2026. The City is also working to attract additional retailers and exploring redevelopment opportunities at Highway 146 and Nestles Road, including potential hotel and commercial development.

The City is also advancing the revitalization of Front Street and Downtown Soledad. A centerpiece of this effort is the proposed Shipping Container Village, envisioned as a destination for local businesses, food vendors, and entrepreneurs that will diversify downtown offerings and create a more active pedestrian environment. The successful launch of El Mercadito has helped demonstrate demand for this concept. The City recently secured $300,000 in CDBG funding to advance planning and design for the Container Village.

Housing development continues despite higher interest rates and construction costs. The City completed entitlements for Almond Acres, providing 55 single-family homes and 12 apartments, and is partnering with Eden Housing to advance approximately 183 affordable housing units over the next two to five years. The Soledad Unified School District is also preparing to open its new employee housing development near downtown.

Miramonte represents one of Soledad’s most significant growth opportunities. The City is working toward a Development Agreement for this approximately 30-year phased community, which could ultimately provide up to 2,392 homes, along with parks, schools, open space, public facilities, and neighborhood-serving commercial development. The City is working to ensure that the project provides a long-term fiscal benefit, with new development funding necessary infrastructure and contributing toward the ongoing cost of municipal services.

Together, these efforts demonstrate the City’s commitment to responsible growth and longterm financial sustainability. By combining fiscal discipline with economic development, strategic investment, and strong public and private partnerships, Soledad can navigate its current challenges while continuing to build a more vibrant, resilient, and prosperous community.

I extend my sincere appreciation to the City Council for its leadership and to employees throughout the organization for their diligence, creativity, and commitment during a challenging budget process. We look forward to continuing this work together to support a safe, sustainable, financially resilient, and thriving Soledad.

Respectfully Submitted,
Megan Hunter, City Manager

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: City Council
Account #100-1000
Funding Source: General Fund
Budget Overview
The Soledad City Council serves as the City's primary policy-making and legislative body, responsible for setting strategic direction, adopting ordinances, approving budgets, and guiding long-term community planning. The Mayor is elected citywide to serve a two-year term, while City Councilmembers are elected by district and serve four-year terms, providing continuity and leadership for the City's evolving needs. In carrying out its responsibilities, the City Council actively seeks community input and values resident engagement in shaping Soledad’s future.

To promote transparency and informed decision-making, the Council has established a variety of boards, commissions, and committees. These advisory bodies conduct reviews of specific issues and provide recommendations that support the Council’s deliberations on policies, programs, and initiatives that affect the community.

This budget accounts for the majority of the salary and benefit costs for City Councilmembers, with a portion allocated to the Enterprise Funds for water, sewer, and solid waste services.

The recommended budget for FY 2026–2027 is $129,266, representing a modest small reduction from the prior year. The reduction is due in part to Mayor Velazquez and Mayor Pro Tem Ansaldo Sánchez electing to forgo their Council compensation to assist with the budget shortfall.

In addition to Councilmember salaries and benefits, the budget provides funding for:
• Membership dues for participation in regional and statewide organizations, based on the most current cost projections.
• Travel and meeting expenses for Councilmembers attending conferences, training, and official City business.
• Outreach and events to enable Councilmembers to further engage residents by district to ensure geographic participation.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Guided the development and adopted the 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, establishing the City Council’s priorities and long-term direction for the organization and community. 197
• Adopted the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, establishing standards and priorities for park development, maintenance, equitable access, recreational programming, and future expansion of the City’s park system.
• Evaluated the City’s long-term fire service and emergency response needs and placed Measure A, a parcel tax measure, on the ballot to provide additional funding for fire protection and emergency response services.
• Established a City legislative platform and authorized 39 advocacy letters to advance Soledad’s interests on state and federal legislative and policy matters. • Continued support for programs and partnerships serving Soledad’s immigrant community, including workshops with the Consulado de México and Know Your Rights educational events.
• Supported City sponsorship and expansion of community events that promote civic engagement and community pride, including the State of the City, Pride Flag Raising, Music in the Park, Fourth of July festivities, Hot Summer Days, September 11 Remembrance, POW/MIA Recognition Day, Spookfest, Día de los Muertos, Veterans Day, Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, and Christmas Parade. • Provided policy direction and took action on approximately 290 City matters, including adoption of 123 resolutions addressing contracts, strategic initiatives, board and commission appointments, Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), and other actions supporting City priorities.
• Adopted seven ordinances addressing key community and development priorities, including streamlining housing regulations and approving the Almond Acres and Parcel B Planned Unit Developments.

Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026-27 • Advance implementation of the 2025–2030 Strategic Plan by aligning Council policy direction, budget decisions, and funding priorities with adopted goals and objectives. • Expand district-based community outreach and engagement to encourage broad geographic representation and civic participation among Soledad residents. • Strengthen relationships with state and federal legislators, regional agencies, and community partners to advocate for Soledad’s priorities and pursue funding and policy support.
• Guide investments in City facilities to improve safety, accessibility, functionality, and the long-term condition of public buildings and infrastructure. • Collaborate with the Soledad Unified School District to improve pedestrian and traffic safety around local schools through coordinated planning and improvements such as crosswalks, signage, and traffic-calming measures.
• Review and consider a Development Agreement for the Miramonte Specific Plan addressing infrastructure financing, development impact fees, assessment and special taxing districts, and implementation of an Affordable Housing Plan. • Update and consolidate the City Council’s rules, policies, and procedures into a comprehensive Governance Manual that promotes consistent practices, clearly defines governance protocols, and incorporates municipal best practices. 198

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: City Manager/City Clerk
Account # 100-1100
Funding Source: General Fund
Budget Overview
The City Manager serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the City of Soledad and as Executive Director of the Soledad Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency. Appointed by the City Council, the City Manager is responsible for the overall administration of City operations, implementation of City Council policies and priorities, enforcement of municipal ordinances and applicable state and federal laws, and the effective delivery of public services. The City Manager also serves as the City Clerk, with support from the Deputy City Clerk/Executive Assistant.

In March 2026, the City Council approved the addition of an Assistant City Manager, who also serves as the City’s Finance Director. This organizational change allowed the City to eliminate its contracted Finance Director services and redirect those funds toward a full-time, in-house leadership position. The Assistant City Manager oversees the City’s internal and administrative functions, including Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, and Community Engagement. The City Manager provides executive oversight of Public Works, Community and Economic Development, Parks and Recreation, Police, and Fire, while maintaining overall responsibility for the City organization.

The FY 2026–2027 City Manager’s Office budget is $521,687 and includes salaries and benefits for the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Deputy City Clerk/Executive Assistant. The budget also supports election costs, public notices and ordinance publication, and citywide community events.

The increase in the City Manager’s Office budget compared with the prior year primarily reflects the addition of the Assistant City Manager position. This increase is partially offset by a corresponding reduction in the Finance Department budget resulting from the elimination of contracted Finance Director services. This restructuring strengthens in-house administrative and financial management capacity while making more efficient use of existing resources.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: City Attorney
Account # 100-5140
Funding Source: General Fund
Budget Overview
The City contracts for legal services through an appointed City Attorney, who provides legal counsel to the City Council, boards, commissions, and staff. The attorney's responsibilities include drafting and reviewing ordinances, resolutions, contracts, and policies, advising on legal matters, responding to claims, and representing the City in legal or administrative proceedings.

This budget primarily funds the City Attorney’s contract, with some legal service costs allocated to Enterprise Funds or developer-funded accounts for services related to specific development projects. In response to the City’s projected budget shortfall, the FY 2026–27 City Attorney budget was reduced by $20,000 compared with FY 2025–26. The City Attorney, City Manager, and staff will continue to work collaboratively to prioritize legal needs, utilize legal services efficiently, and manage costs while ensuring the City receives necessary legal guidance and representation.

FY2025-26 Budget Accomplishments

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Community and Economic Development/Planning Account # 100-1200
Funding Source: General Fund
The functions of the “building division" are budgeted in a separate unit (5160).

Budget Overview
The Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD) is dedicated to fostering inclusive growth, enhancing quality of life, and advancing sustainable prosperity across the City.

Through strategic planning, collaborative partnerships, and forward-thinking initiatives, the department empowers residents, businesses, and organizations to thrive—building a vibrant, resilient local economy.

CEDD is responsible for the City’s planning and zoning, housing, and economic development functions. The department is organized into the following core divisions:
• Planning
• Building
• Economic Development
• Housing
The Community & Economic Development Department (CEDD) is staffed by seven full-time employees and one part-time employee. The department generates revenue primarily through planning entitlement and permitting fees, which help offset operational and staffing costs— particularly within the Building Division. In addition to fee-based revenue, CEDD actively secures and manages grant funding, including the administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and a variety of housing assistance programs, which support the City’s affordable housing and community development goals. This budget also provides funding for the Planning Commission, which is composed of five appointed members, and includes support for stipends and ongoing training to ensure effective and informed decision-making.

The recommended budget for the department is $947,965. This year's budget reflects strategic cost savings through reductions in training and consultant expenditures, while continuing to support core operations and priority initiatives through grants.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
Over the past year, the Community and Economic Development Department achieved several significant milestones that advanced the City’s housing, economic development, and community revitalization goals. The City adopted three housing ordinances to remove regulatory barriers and encourage infill development and executed an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Eden 208
Housing for the redevelopment of 540 Gabilan Street, which could provide up to 143 units of affordable housing. The Department also entitled 128 new housing units through the Parcel B and Almond Acres developments and facilitated new commercial investment, including Tractor Supply, Wingstop, and Quick Quack Car Wash. Community improvement efforts included completion of a new public art mural at the Fire Apparatus Bay, funded through a $40,000 Monterey County grant. The Department also completed El Sendero, a 16-bed interim housing facility, helped permanently house 14 former Salinas Riverbed residents, and supported cleanup efforts that removed approximately 380 tons of debris from the riverbed.

Performance Objectives & Key Projects for FY 2026–27
The Community & Economic Development Department will focus on the following strategic objectives and projects in the upcoming fiscal year:
• Complete the General Plan Updates to align long-term planning efforts with community priorities and state requirements.
• Facilitate redevelopment of vacant or underutilized city property. • Conduct a Nexus Study to support the implementation of a new General Plan Maintenance Fee, ensuring sustained funding for future updates.
• Advance the “Container Village” Project and facilitate continued build-out of the Soledad Marketplace, supporting local economic growth and small business development. • Assist Sendero participants in securing housing by fiscal year-end. • Completed the Development Agreement and update the associated Development Impact fees for the Miramonte Specific Plan.
• Implement the First-Time Homebuyer Program to expand access to homeownership for local residents.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Building/Development Services
Account # 100-1250
Funding Source: General Fund
Budget Overview
The Building Division operates within the Community and Economic Development Department and is responsible for reviewing construction plans, issuing building permits, conducting inspections, and ensuring compliance with the California Building Code. Building Official services are provided through a contract with CSG Consultants, a private firm specializing in municipal building services.

Division staffing includes one full-time Development Services Technician and one part-time clerical assistant. A second Development Services Technician assigned to Planning provides backup support for Building Division operations. The budget also supports SmartGov, the City’s permit tracking system, which improves operational efficiency, enhances transparency, and expands digital access to permits and records. The City continues to rely on consultant support for building plan review, inspections, and Building Official services.

Project applicants are required to pay direct service fees, including plan review and inspection fees. As part of the City’s commitment to financial sustainability, building permit fees were updated in FY 2025–26 to improve cost recovery for services provided. Given ongoing budget constraints, additional review is needed in FY 2026–27 to ensure the General Fund is not subsidizing permitting services.

The recommended baseline budget for the Building Division in FY 2026–27 is $446,319, with continued emphasis on improving cost recovery and aligning service costs with applicable fees.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
During FY 2025–26, the Building Division supported the delivery of several major development projects.
• Commercial Development: Issued permits and completed inspections that supported the successful openings of Tractor Supply and Wingstop.
• Retail Expansion: Issued permits for the new Quick Quack Car Wash and three new downtown storefronts: Higher Higher Limitz Barbershop, Oasis Water Store, and Ricosita’s Ice Cream.
212
• Residential Growth:
o Issued 23 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permits.
o Finalized construction and occupancy of 42 new housing units. o Issued permits for the City’s first SB 9 housing project.

Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026–27 Projected Permit Activity:
• Single-Family Dwellings: 200
• Multi-Family Units: 40
• Solar and Over-the-Counter Permits: 80
• Commercial Projects: 4
• Estimated Total Inspections: 1,000
Strategic Objectives:
• Maintain and enhance the SmartGov online database to improve document storage, permit tracking, records management, and public access to information. • Continue streamlining the permit process for both staff and applicants to reduce processing times, improve coordination, and enhance customer service. • Review building permit fees to ensure appropriate cost recovery and consistent application of adopted fee schedules.
• Complete final inspections and issue a certificate of occupancy for the School Housing Project.
• Conduct a customer satisfaction survey to evaluate the permitting experience, identify opportunities for improvement, and guide future service enhancements. • Explore development of an expedited permitting incentive program for priority economic development projects, such as a new hotel, to reduce processing timelines, encourage private investment, and attract targeted development to the City. 213

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Information Technology
Account # 100-1320
Funding Source: General Fund
Budget Overview
The Information Technology (IT) Department provides the technology infrastructure and support necessary for the City to deliver reliable, secure, and efficient services. The Department is authorized for one full-time IT Manager and one full-time IT Technician, with a portion of personnel costs allocated to the City’s Enterprise Funds based on services provided. Due to the City’s budget shortfall, the vacant IT Manager position will remain frozen in FY 2026–27.

The Department is responsible for maintaining and supporting the City’s network infrastructure, servers, computers, software, telecommunications systems, and other technology resources. IT also provides technical assistance to all City departments through help desk services and plays a critical role in protecting City systems and data through cybersecurity and technology management.

Given the number and complexity of major technology projects currently underway, the City supplements its internal IT capacity with contracted professional IT services. This support has been essential to implementing significant infrastructure and system improvements initiated in FY 2025–26, many of which will continue into FY 2026–27. Contract support will be particularly important while the IT Manager position remains vacant.

Under the direction of the Assistant City Manager, the IT Department also provides technical support for the City’s efforts to expand high-speed internet access within the community, including broadband infrastructure planning, coordination with regional partners, and support for grantfunded projects.

FY 2025–26 Budget Accomplishments
• Modernized the City’s server infrastructure through the installation of new servers at City Hall, the Police Department, and the Water Reclamation Facility, improving system reliability and supporting future technology needs.
• Launched a new City website, improving public access to City information, programs, services, and online resources.
• Completed the design of upgraded network and IT infrastructure at City Hall to support improved connectivity, reliability, and cybersecurity.
218
• Implemented TeamViewer for remote IT support, allowing staff to troubleshoot and resolve technology issues more efficiently across City facilities.

Performance Objectives/Projects to Be Delivered in FY 2026–27 • Complete installation of new servers and network cabling at City Hall to improve system performance, reliability, and security.
• Deploy new SCADA servers at the Orchard Lane Park Splash Pad to improve monitoring and operational reliability of the facility.
• Upgrade the City Council meeting broadcast system to improve the quality, reliability, and accessibility of public meeting broadcasts.
• Establish a wireless point-to-point connection at Little League Park to improve internet connectivity and support City and recreational operations at the facility. • Complete a comprehensive inventory of City software licenses, digital certificates, system credentials, and other critical IT assets to strengthen technology management, cybersecurity, and business continuity.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Police Department
Account #100-1400 and 100-3100
Funding Source: General Fund and Measure Y
Budget Overview
The total budget for the Soledad Police Department in FY 2026–27 is $6,371,149, consisting of $4,975,704 from the General Fund and $1,395,445 from the Measure Y Fund. In addition, the Department’s Community Safety Officer position, which provides code enforcement and animal services, is funded 50% through Measure S under account 100-5620.

The Department is authorized for 20 sworn officers, including the Police Chief, Deputy Chief, and Lieutenant. Civilian staff provide essential administrative records, community safety, and public service support. State mandates and reduced support from the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office have increased the administrative responsibilities handled directly by Police Department staff.

A significant portion of the Department’s budget supports essential contracted services. Monterey County emergency dispatch services, a critical component of the City’s 24-hour public safety operations, are projected to cost nearly $500,000 in FY 2026–27. The Department also contracts for animal sheltering services through the SPCA, which cost approximately $102,000 in the prior fiscal year.

Like households and businesses throughout the community, the Police Department continues to experience rising costs for fuel, equipment, contracted services, technology, and essential supplies.

These cost increases, combined with the failure of Measure A and the City’s resulting General Fund shortfall, have required expenditure reductions across City operations.

Because the Police Department represents the largest departmental expenditure within the General Fund, reductions were necessary as part of the City’s efforts to balance the budget. For FY 2026– 27, the City has frozen one full-time Police Officer position and one Community Safety Officer position and reduced part-time administrative support. These reductions are intended to help address the immediate fiscal shortfall while preserving core public safety services. If the City’s financial condition improves or additional ongoing funding becomes available, restoring the frozen Police Officer position should be a priority.
223
FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Expanded social media outreach to provide proactive public education on domestic violence prevention, school safety, and traffic safety. • Organized the City’s largest-ever National Night Out, strengthening community engagement and building positive relationships between residents, neighborhoods, and law enforcement.
• Strengthened cross-departmental code enforcement efforts to address dangerous and nuisance properties and supported the removal of the Salinas River encampment, including the cleanup and disposal of approximately 380 tons of trash and debris. • Coordinated with Monterey County Environmental Health to strengthen enforcement efforts of unpermitted food vendors and address associated health and safety concerns. • Partnered with Soledad Unified School District through the School Safety Committee to conduct school-site safety assessments and advance emergency preparedness planning for active-shooter situations and other critical incidents. • Replaced outdated ballistic vests and protective helmets with updated safety equipment using available MBASIA safety funding.
• Strengthened Police Department recruitment and hiring practices by implementing standardized testing and selection processes for recruitment and promotional opportunities, resulting in the recruitment and hiring of two lateral police officers.

Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026-27 • Strengthen community policing and engagement through regular neighborhood patrols and informal community events such as “Coffee with a Cop.” • Increase domestic violence awareness and victim support by partnering with health and social service organizations to expand education and access to available resources. • Engage local youth and build trust by partnering with the Youth Council to develop social media campaigns focused on violence prevention, substance use, traffic safety, and other issues affecting young people.
• Improve code enforcement effectiveness by working with the Community Development Department to identify and recommend Municipal Code amendments that strengthen the City’s ability to address unsafe and nuisance properties. • Evaluate opportunities to re-establish the Police Explorer Program or similar programming to provide local youth with mentorship, leadership development, and exposure to careers in law enforcement and public safety. • Expand public safety education for seniors by partnering with senior service providers to offer workshops on scam and fraud prevention, digital safety, and personal safety. • Support officer wellness and resilience by expanding access to wellness resources, peer support, and mental health services.
• Pursue state, federal, and private grant funding to enhance Police Department resources and modernize technology, including camera systems and other tools that improve operational efficiency, officer safety, and investigative capabilities. 224

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Fire Department
Account # 100-1450 and 431-0000
Funding Source:

Budget Overview
The City of Soledad has contracted with CAL FIRE since January 2012 to provide professional fire and emergency response services to the City and the Mission-Soledad Fire Protection District through the Soledad Fire Department (SFD). Operating from a single fire station, Station 37, SFD serves approximately 34,000 residents across a 97-square-mile response area.

Under the agreement, CAL FIRE provides fully trained personnel to deliver 24-hour fire suppression, emergency medical response, rescue, and other emergency services. The estimated FY 2026–27 CAL FIRE contract cost is $3,046,207, representing an approximately 7% increase over the prior year.

A significant portion of the increased cost reflects the City’s continued progress toward improved staffing levels. The FY 2026–27 contract provides for nine total station personnel, strengthening daily staffing and improving the Department’s ability to respond safely and effectively to emergencies. The base CAL FIRE contract is budgeted in account 100-1450-52200, with the additional staffing cost funded through Measure Y account 100-3200-52051.

In a separate fund, the City receives a portion of a countywide special tax dedicated to emergency medical services and communications equipment. The proposed FY 2026–27 allocation of $45,000 will be used to replace aging medical and radio equipment necessary for emergency response.

The budget also provides funding for the scheduled replacement of personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure firefighters have appropriate safety equipment and that the Department continues to meet applicable operational and regulatory standards.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Submitted a SAFER grant application to support firefighter staffing and an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) application to replace aging fire hose and improve operational readiness.
• Enhanced emergency response capacity by adding two personnel, bringing the Department closer to national fire service staffing standards and improving operational readiness.
227
• Expanded aerial apparatus capabilities by training six personnel in aerial apparatus operations, meeting state requirements and ensuring adequate staffing of qualified operators for the City’s ladder truck.
• Improved emergency medical response capabilities by using countywide special tax funding to purchase additional medical equipment for all fire apparatus, increasing the availability of critical equipment during emergency responses. • Guided the development of the new Fire Apparatus Bay, coordinating with City departments and the construction team.
• Oversaw the City’s participation in the Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating review and coordinated the Community Development and Public Works Departments in completing required assessments, documentation, and interviews.
• Expanded access to overdose prevention resources by supporting the installation of a Narcan distribution kiosk at the Fire Station, providing convenient community access to this life-saving resource.

Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026-27 • Update the City’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and Continuity of Operations protocols to reflect evolving hazards, organizational changes, lessons learned, and current emergency management best practices.
• Strengthen fire prevention and hazard abatement efforts by increasing inspection and prevention activities and coordinating with Code Enforcement and Community Development to identify and address dangerous properties. • Review and update mutual aid agreements with neighboring jurisdictions to strengthen regional emergency response coordination while ensuring adequate resources remain available to protect the Soledad community.
• Launch a citywide fireworks safety education campaign emphasizing fire prevention, injury prevention, and the environmental and legal consequences associated with illegal fireworks.
• Pursue state and federal grant funding to replace aging equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Evaluate sustainable funding options for fire and emergency services to address rising service costs and support adequate staffing, equipment replacement, and long-term operational needs.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Recreation/Community Center
Account # 100-2200
Funding Source: General Fund/Measure S
Budget Overview
Since its establishment in 2021, the Parks and Recreation Department has significantly expanded recreational services, improved access to programs and facilities, and strengthened community engagement through year-round programming and special events. The Department operates the Soledad Community Center and the City’s park system, providing a wide range of recreational opportunities for residents of all ages, including youth and adult sports, classes and activities, community events, and facility rentals.

The Department is staffed by a full-time Director, three additional full-time employees, and a team of seasonal recreation leaders and instructors. Due to the City’s current budget deficit, the FY 2026–2027 budget includes targeted staffing reductions to help achieve necessary General Fund savings. One full-time position has been frozen, and funding for temporary and seasonal staffing has been reduced by approximately 30 percent. These reductions will affect the Department’s capacity and may require adjustments to program offerings, hours, and service levels. Staff will prioritize core programs and services, pursue operational efficiencies, and strategically deploy available resources to minimize impacts on the community.

Program revenues from memberships, recreation fees, and facility rentals continue to offset a portion of operating costs, covering approximately 25–30 percent of departmental expenditures.

The Department will continue working to increase cost recovery where appropriate while maintaining affordable and equitable access to recreation programs for residents of varying income levels.

Recent investments have significantly improved the functionality and accessibility of the Soledad Community Center. Approximately $1.5 million in additional facility improvements remain, including HVAC improvements, ADA accessibility upgrades, and emergency preparedness infrastructure such as backup power and shelter equipment. Given current General Fund constraints, the City will continue to pursue grants, partnerships, and other outside funding sources to advance these improvements.

The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects the difficult decisions necessary to address the City’s fiscal challenges while preserving essential community services. Despite reduced staffing and resources, the Parks and Recreation Department will remain focused on maintaining high-quality core recreation services, supporting youth development, strengthening community partnerships, and 238
maximizing the use of City parks and recreation facilities. The Department will continue adapting its programs and operations to available resources while working to preserve the services that provide the greatest benefit to the community.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Animal Control
Account #100-2300
Funding Source: Measure S
Budget Overview
Measure S is a one-half percent local sales tax approved by Soledad voters in November 2020 and effective April 2021. Measure S revenues support and maintain important quality-of-life and community services.

A significant investment made possible by Measure S was the establishment of the City’s Parks and Recreation Department, including operation of the Soledad Community Center. Measure S also funds 100% of a Community Safety Officer position responsible for providing Animal Control Services and helps offset the cost of animal sheltering services provided by the SPCA.

The escalating cost of animal sheltering continues to be a significant challenge. Last fiscal year, the City paid approximately $102,000 to the SPCA for sheltering services. In addition to these costs, the SPCA facility is located north of Salinas, requiring significant staff time to transport animals to the shelter.

To reduce reliance on sheltering and address animal control needs more proactively, the City will focus on long-term strategies that reduce the number of animals entering the shelter. These efforts will include pursuing grant funding to expand spay and neuter services, increasing community education, and developing partnerships with nonprofit organizations to assist with fostering and rehoming animals.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Responded to 348 animal control calls, transported 48 injured or stray animals to the SPCA for care and sheltering, and impounded 128 dogs.
• Promoted responsible pet ownership, litter prevention, and neighborhood cleanliness through public education and coordination with community partners. • Facilitated six community spay and neuter clinics in Soledad to increase access to affordable services and help reduce the number of unwanted animals. 243
Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026-27 • Continue to collaborate with South County cities to evaluate opportunities for a shared animal shelter or holding facility to better serve stray and abandoned animals while reducing transportation time and sheltering costs.
• Expand access to affordable spay and neuter services by increasing the number of community clinics offered throughout the year.
• Launch a community cat program in partnership with local nonprofit organizations to humanely manage feral cat populations through targeted spay and neuter efforts. • Evaluate a potential ordinance requiring the spaying and neutering of dogs and cats, with appropriate exemptions for medical conditions, working animals, and responsible breeding.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Community Engagement
Account # 100-2400
Funding Source: General Fund
Budget Overview
The Office of Community Engagement leads the City’s efforts in public information, civic engagement, website and digital communications management, and legislative advocacy. The Office’s primary mission is to increase public awareness of City programs, services, and initiatives; promote meaningful participation in local government; and help develop the next generation of civic leaders.

The Office is currently staffed by one Community Engagement Manager. Due to the City’s budget shortfall, the vacant Community Engagement Coordinator position has been frozen for FY 2026–27.

The proposed FY 2026–27 budget is funded through Measure S, the City’s voter-approved local sales tax. Funding supports staffing, professional development, community outreach and engagement activities, and the Civics Academy.

The Community Engagement Manager also provides staff support to the Youth Council, helping engage young people in civic affairs and local government. Funding for the Youth Council is included separately within the Recreation budget.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Strengthened regional youth engagement by partnering with the Soledad Parks & Recreation Department and the Cities of Gonzales and Greenfield to successfully plan and host the annual South County Youth Summit, providing opportunities for youth leadership, civic participation, and regional collaboration. • Relaunched the Soledad Civics Academy with consistent monthly programming, expanding community access to civic education and creating opportunities for residents to learn about City services, programs, and local government. • Expanded the City’s digital and bilingual outreach by increasing Spanish-language video content and developing culturally relevant messaging to better inform and engage Soledad’s diverse community.
246
• Led the planning and execution of the annual State of the City event, highlighting City accomplishments, current initiatives, and future priorities while strengthening communication with residents and community partners.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Water Operations
Account #309-0000
Funding Source: Water Fund
Budget Overview
The Water Fund supports the production, treatment, storage, and distribution of safe and reliable potable water to City of Soledad customers. The Water Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all five City‑owned water wells, four one-million-gallon reservoirs, a water booster station, a water treatment facility and performs all system operations, sampling, reporting, and maintenance in‑house, ensuring reliable service, regulatory compliance, and timely response to system needs.

The FY 2026‑27 budget is funded through user rates and designated fund balance and supports daily operations, preventive maintenance, energy costs for wells, water treatment and booster pumps, and continued investment in critical water infrastructure. Budget assumptions are consistent with the City’s most recent water rate study and long‑term financial planning.

Overall, the Water Fund budget prioritizes system reliability, public health and safety, proactive maintenance, and responsible financial stewardship of the City’s water system.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Initiated a comprehensive Water System Facilities Reliability and Condition Assessment, the first for Soledad, evaluating infrastructure condition, reliability, and capacity, and providing cost estimates to guide capital planning, budgeting, and rate studies. (This Assessment will be presented in Council in October/November 2026.) • Completed SCADA system server upgrades and installed new pump and motor equipment at Well 6 to improve system reliability and operational efficiency. • Performed replacement and repairs of fire hydrants throughout the city to enhance system performance and public safety and maintain the City’s high Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating to keep homeowner insurance premiums as low as possible. • Performed replacement and repairs of broken water main valves in the streets throughout the city to maintain fire flows and pressures.
261
Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026-27 The City has completed a comprehensive Water System Assessment, which now serves as the foundation for an updated Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The assessment identified key infrastructure priorities, including:
• Conduct ongoing water system maintenance.
• Interior cleaning of four one-million-gallon potable water storage tanks to maintain water quality and ensure continued system reliability.
• Complete a comprehensive water rate study to evaluate the adequacy of existing rates in supporting operational and capital needs, ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the City’s water system.
• Apply for funding to replace generators at water well sites and storage tanks to improve emergency power reliability and maintain potable water service during outages. • Coordinate the replacement of approximately 1,000 water meters to improve accuracy and support water conservation efforts, funded through the Water and Energy Efficiency Grant (WEEG) grant.
• Continue to perform replacement and repairs of broken water main valves in the streets throughout the city to maintain fire flows and pressures.

In alignment with City Council priorities, a major departmental focus is on increasing proactive maintenance of water wells, particularly ahead of the high-demand summer months, to reduce equipment failures, minimize service disruptions, and avoid costly emergency repairs. The budget also supports continued investment in high-priority capital improvements designed to enhance operational efficiency and maintain reliable delivery of potable water to the community. 262

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Wastewater Operations
Account #310-0000
Funding Source: Sewer Fund
Budget Overview
The Sewer Fund supports the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater and stormwater for the City of Soledad. The Wastewater Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the wastewater collection system, stormwater infrastructure, and the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF), ensuring reliable service and compliance with state and federal environmental regulations.

The wastewater service area also includes wastewater collection and treatment from all CDCR facilities located approximately three miles north of Soledad.

The FY 2026-27 Sewer Fund budget includes operating expenses, capital expenditures, and annual debt service associated with the State Revolving Fund loan used to finance construction of the City’s wastewater treatment plant. This financial plan is based on the adopted 2021 wastewater rate study, which established a rate structure designed to fully fund operating costs and capital projects for the repair, rehabilitation, and modernization of the wastewater collection system and treatment facility. The City is currently in the process of completing an updated wastewater rate study; however, until that study is finalized and adopted by the City Council, the FY 26-27 budget continues to rely on the existing 2021 rate study assumptions. Projects aimed at expanding treatment capacity to accommodate future growth are separately funded through the Development Impact Fee Fund.

For FY 2026–2027, the total recommended budget for the Wastewater Division includes:
• $5.7 million in operating expenses
• $1.3 million in capital expenditures
• $1.7 million in annual debt service for the State Revolving Fund loan, used to finance construction of the City’s wastewater treatment plant
Key Operational Changes and Priorities
Based on findings from the recent Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) condition assessment, FY 2026–27 priorities shift from regulatory transition to addressing deferred maintenance and aging infrastructure that are impacting operational efficiency and long-term reliability. The assessment identified critical needs within core treatment processes, particularly the headworks, aeration system, and supporting mechanical and electrical components, where outdated equipment and 266
wear have resulted in increased energy consumption, higher operating costs, and elevated maintenance demands.

Accordingly, the department will prioritize proactive maintenance, targeted rehabilitation, and capital planning to stabilize operations, reduce inefficiencies, and extend the useful life of key assets. These efforts will inform the development of a comprehensive five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) focused on improving treatment performance, controlling operating costs, and ensuring continued compliance with evolving state and federal wastewater regulations.

Stormwater Management Responsibilities
This budget also now includes funding for stormwater regulatory compliance and system maintenance, previously covered under the sanitation fund. The change is a response to new, unfunded mandates from the State, which significantly expand the City’s responsibilities in this area.

Ongoing stormwater responsibilities include:
• Maintenance and inspection of all stormwater piping, inlets, and catch basins • Oversight of stormwater outfalls to the Salinas River • Maintenance of retention ponds at key locations:
o Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF)
o Gabilan Street
o Veterans Park
o Pond located between Front Street and U.S. Highway 101, near the UPRR property FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Advanced construction of the Recycled Water Conveyance Project (funded by UCDR Grant) to support irrigation of City parks and school fields with Title 22 recycled water, reducing potable water use and improving drought resilience. • Completed a comprehensive Water Reclamation Facility Assessment, which served as the foundation for an updated Capital Improvement Program (CIP) addressing critical system-wide maintenance needs and a major improvement project at the Water Reclamation Facility.
• Replaced several large trunk sanitary sewer main manholes. • Implemented improvements to the aeration system at the Water Reclamation Facility to enhance treatment efficiency, reliability, and regulatory compliance. 267
Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026-27 • Install the new clarifier to improve wastewater treatment capacity, reliability, and performance at the Water Reclamation Facility.
• Upgrade the aeration system to improve treatment efficiency, reduce energy consumption and operating costs, and enhance effluent water quality. • Upgrade the existing overflow storage basin to an engineered, lined facility capable of safely storing emergency overflows and off-specification water while maintaining regulatory compliance.
• Complete rehabilitation of the UV disinfection system to improve treatment reliability, maintain regulatory compliance, and ensure effective disinfection of treated wastewater. • Implement additional recycled water treatment improvements to enhance water quality and expand opportunities for beneficial reuse.
• Pursue state and federal funding to construct a guide bank along the Salinas River and complete levee repairs not included in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project to reduce erosion, strengthen levee integrity, and protect critical infrastructure during major storm events.

Budget Overview
In 1993, the City Council established this enterprise fund to support a range of environmental sanitation services, including:
• Street sweeping
• Graffiti removal
• Sidewalk cleaning
• Animal control
• Weed abatement
• Litter collection
• Other related sanitation efforts
These services are funded by a $6 monthly fee charged to each residential and non-residential premises within the city.

Animal control services are a key component of this budget unit and include both staff time and the costs associated with transporting injured, abandoned, or stray animals to a local animal hospital or the SPCA in Monterey County near Salinas.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: Gas Tax, Measure X Fund, SB1
Account #410-0000, 411-0000 and 412-0000
Funding Source: State Gas Tax, TAMC Measure X
Budget Overview
The Streets Program is funded primarily through a combination of State Gas Tax revenues, Measure X funds, and SB 1 allocations. These funds support the full scope of maintenance and operational activities necessary to keep Soledad’s streets safe, clean, and functional.

Gas Tax revenues are used to cover the cost of labor, equipment, and materials for:
• Street maintenance and repairs (pavement, potholes, striping, crosswalks, centerlines, lane markings)
• Operation and maintenance of traffic signals and streetlights • Installation and upkeep of regulatory signage (e.g., stop signs, speed limits, street name signs)
• Street sweeping
• Maintenance of stormwater infrastructure such as catch basins and curb inlets • Street Tree trimming, maintenance, and care
• Maintenance of landscaped areas, including medians and parkways Measure X is a countywide sales tax administered by the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC). A portion of these funds is distributed directly to cities for street maintenance.

Soledad’s anticipated Measure X allocation for FY 2026–27 is $947,8 80 SB 1 (Road Repair and Accountability Act) funding is also dedicated to the Local Streets and Roads Program, supporting essential street maintenance, safety improvements, and pothole repairs.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Completed HSIP Cycle 10 pedestrian safety improvements at Main & North Streets and Anderson & West Streets, installing high-visibility crosswalks, curb islands, enhanced signage, flashing stop signs, pavement markings, and ADA-compliant curb ramps. • Improved roadway safety and visibility through updated striping and traffic markings on City streets.
283
• Finalized design for the Front Street landscaping refresh, supporting corridor beautification, safety, and long-term streetscape improvements. • Issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the West Street Road Diet Project to improve multimodal safety and connectivity and secured an additional $800,000 in funding to support project implementation.
• Completed installation of new street light poles on Metz Road, Front Street and Moranda Road, enhancing safety, visibility, and neighborhood security.

Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026-27 • Implement a citywide street resurfacing program using slurry seal treatments to extend pavement life, protect the City’s investment in roadway infrastructure, and improve driving conditions.
• Upgrade pavement markings to current standards to improve visibility, traffic operations, and safety for all roadway users.
• Implement the Front Street Landscape Project to enhance the appearance, safety, and overall streetscape along this important corridor.
• Expand participation in the Sidewalk Cost Share Program to assist property owners with needed sidewalk repairs and improve pedestrian safety and accessibility. • Complete construction of the West Street Road Diet Project, funded through a competitive TAMC grant, to improve safety and mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. • Implement the Downtown Streetscape Enhancement Project, funded through a federal earmark secured by Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, to incorporate decorative lighting and public art that enhance Downtown’s appearance, identity, and pedestrian environment. 284

FY 2026-27 BUDGET NARRATIVE
Name of Activity: CDBG and HOME Grants
Account # 2xx-000
Funding Source: Program Income and Grants
Budget Overview
This fund is dedicated to the Community & Economic Development Department’s (CEDD) administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs, including associated program income. These funds support a variety of eligible housing assistance, affordable housing, and economic development activities.

The City is a non-entitlement jurisdiction for both CDBG and HOME and applies for funding through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), which administers federal funding for smaller jurisdictions that do not receive allocations directly from the federal government.

Due to the extensive accounting, reporting, monitoring, and compliance requirements associated with CDBG and HOME, the City maintains these programs in a separate fund to clearly track revenues and expenditures and ensure that funds are used for eligible purposes.

CDBG and HOME funds support a portion of eligible staff costs associated with program administration, as well as specialized consultant services. Consultants assist the City with longterm monitoring of CDBG- and HOME-assisted housing units, preparation of required compliance reports, and underwriting and monitoring of business loans funded through CDBG.

While CEDD also secures and administers other grant programs, including Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) that supports the Sendero Interim Housing Project and services to help individuals experiencing homelessness secure stable housing, those grants are accounted for within the broader CEDD budget and are not included in this fund.

FY 2025-26 Budget Accomplishments
• Expanded access to business financing through the CDBG Business Assistance Loan Program, assisting five businesses and supporting the creation of 18 new full-time jobs. • Secured a $300,000 CDBG Planning Grant to fund pre-construction, design, and predevelopment activities for the Downtown Container Village Project. • Secured $500,000 in HOME funding to establish a First-Time Homebuyer Program and expand homeownership opportunities for eligible Soledad residents. 291
• Invested approximately $75,000 in CDBG Program Income to repair the HVAC system at the Community Center.

Performance Objectives/Projects to be Delivered in FY 2026–27 • Launch the First-Time Homebuyer Program to provide financial assistance to eligible households and expand homeownership opportunities within Soledad. • Initiate the $300,000 CDBG Planning Grant and advance planning, design, and predevelopment activities for the Downtown Container Village Project. • Evaluate the use of HOME Program Income to support the development of affordable housing by Eden Housing at either Parcel E or 540 Gabilan Drive. 292
