42 SUBJECT: City Hall Holiday Office Closure from December 24, 2026 through January 1, 2027
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Francine Uy, Human Resources Manager
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad approve by minute motion the City Hall holiday office closure from December 24, 2026 through January 1, 2027.

Executive Summary
Historically, the City Council has approved the closure of City Hall offices during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Like last year, the dates for this year’s closure span a two-week period.

After discussing coverage with departments, particularly the permit and utility public counters, and reviewing the holiday closure of other jurisdictions, the Staff is recommending that City Hall offices are closed from December 24, 2026 through January 1, 2027. This will include closure of 4 days - December 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st, other than the scheduled holidays.

Background
The City of Soledad typically maintains minimal staffing in the office between Christmas and New Year’s Day and has historically closed City Hall to better manage coverage. Similarly, many other agencies either close or operate with reduced staff during this holiday period.

Review & Analysis
Closing City Hall during the holiday period allows the City to manage staff resources more efficiently, as many employees take time off when business activity is typically at its lowest. It also reduces utility usage and operational costs while the building is minimally occupied. In addition, providing a scheduled closure benefits the public by allowing advance notice, so residents can plan for their service needs, while ensuring adequate coverage when offices are open.

Staff shared the proposed holiday office closure with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which raised no objections. The closure will include SEIU members, with the exception of those assigned to the Utility Division of the Public Works Department and the Police Department, 43 which will remain operational to ensure the health and safety of residents.

Approval of the closure would require staff to use up to four (4) days—December 28, 29, 30, and 31— of accrued vacation, comp time, administrative leave, or floating holidays, depending on individual work schedules. Consistent with prior years, Finance staff will work at the end of December to process utility payments.

This action will result in City Hall offices being closed starting December 24, 2026 through January 1, 2027. City Hall will resume normal business hours on January 7, 2027.

Financial Considerations
The City will benefit from the closure, as it will reduce accrued time off, which reduces the City's financial liability.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Although the annual holiday office closure does not directly align with the goals of the City Council Strategic Plan Internal Operations Goals, the closure has historically been presented to the City Council for consideration and approval on an annual basis.

Alternatives
Approve the City Hall holiday office closure as proposed; or Modify the City Hall holiday office closure dates; or
Do not approve the City Hall holiday office closure. This is not recommended as it will be difficult to provide adequate coverage during this time period.

Planning/CEQA
Approval of the 2026 City Hall Holiday Office Closure is not considered a project for the purposes of CEQA since it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect impact to the environment. (See CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.)

44 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6417, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Adopting Paid Holidays for Calendar Year 2027
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Francine Uy, Human Resources Manager
MEETING DATE: September 16, 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. 6417, Adopting Paid Holidays for Calendar Year 2027.

Executive Summary
Each year, the City Council traditionally adopts a list of paid holidays that generally corresponds with federally or state-designated holidays. These include New Year’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The proposed holiday calendar for 2027 includes twelve (12) paid holidays, along with one (1) floating holiday for the year.

Background
Pursuant to the City of Soledad’s Personnel Rules and Regulations Manual, Section 11.08 – Paid Holidays, all regular and probationary employees are entitled to municipal holidays off as provided in a ratified and approved MOU or Resolution adopted by the City Council. Each year, the City Council approves a list of paid holidays for the subsequent year. The City offers twelve (12) paid holidays and one (1) floating holiday per calendar year.

Review & Analysis
Each year, the City Council approves the list of paid holidays. On these specific days, all City offices will be closed except on an emergency basis. However, police and fire personnel will still provide 24- hour coverage. When a holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, which are usually days off for most employees, Friday or Monday is given instead. Additionally, when a holiday falls on a Monday or Friday, which may be the regular day off for an employee on a modified work schedule, the day before or after the holiday will be taken instead. The rate of pay for each holiday is based on eight (8) hours. 45 Resolution No. 6417
2027 Paid Holiday Calendar
Financial Considerations
This is not an additional cost to the employee's salary. These costs have been programmed in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Budget.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Although the annual Paid Holiday Calendar does not directly align with the goals of the City Council Strategic Plan Internal Operations Goals, the Paid Holiday Calendar has historically been presented to the City Council for consideration and approval on an annual basis.

Alternatives
Approve the Holiday Calendar as presented; or
Modify holidays for non-represented employees only, which is not recommended.

Planning/CEQA
Adoption of the 2027 Paid Holiday Calendar is not considered a project for the purposes of CEQA since it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect impact to the environment. (See CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.)

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No.6418, "Approving Contract Change Order No. 3 in the Amount of $89,543.96 with Monterey Peninsula Engineering, Authorizing the Release of Project retention in the Amount of $57,883.17 for the Water Reclamation Facility Manhole Replacement Project, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Related Contract Documentation on Behalf of the City of Soledad."
Executive Summary
On July 2, 2025, the City awarded a contract to Monterey Peninsula Engineering (MPE) for $1,078,500, plus a 10% contingency ($107,850), for a total authorized budget not to exceed $1,186,350.00. The project scope included the replacement of 11 sanitary sewer manholes located within and around the City’s Water Reclamation Facility. During construction, MPE encountered unforeseen conflicts with underground utilities and severe pipe deterioration, necessitating realignments, engineering modifications, and extended bypass pumping. Contract Change Order (CCO) No. 3 accounts for these field adjustments. With CCO 3, the final revised contract total is $1,157,663.39, which resulted in $28,686.61 below the approved contingency cap. Because all construction has been completed in accordance with City standards, staff also recommends releasing the final retention amount of $57,883.17.

Background
The Manhole Project was fast-tracked in mid-2025 following a partial wall collapse of a critical 49 sanitary sewer manhole serving the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) sewer line. To prevent catastrophic failure, the City issued a competitive bid to rehabilitate/replace 11 aging manholes across the Wastewater Treatment Plant grounds, prioritizing the failing structure. MPE was selected as the lowest responsive bidder and awarded the contract on July 2, 2025.

Work commenced on October 20, 2025. Project progress and prior change orders are summarized below:

CCO 1 (Deductive): Upon excavating the collapsing CDCR manhole, crew members discovered an unknown utility directly beneath the structure. Rather than complete a full replacement, the scope shifted to a structural epoxy rehabilitation. Combining this shift with credits for unnecessary work yielded an overall net reduction.

CCO 2 (Additive): Added a polymer concrete cone to a newly installed manhole to prevent embankment sediment from entering the top grate.

Combined Impact of CCO 1 & CCO 2: Net deduction of -$10,380.57.

Review & Analysis
CCO No. 3 ($89,543.96) addresses final Time & Material (T&M) adjustments for unforeseen subterranean field conditions:

1. Subsurface Encasement & Structural Rehabilitation: At a second replacement location, crews encountered heavy structural concrete encasement and severely compromised connecting pipe.

Excavation posed a high risk of pipe collapse. The scope was modified from full replacement to internal structural epoxy coating to protect long-term integrity without compromising the main line.

2. Manhole Realignments: Excavation at two other locations revealed minor bends in existing underground lines. Precast replacement manholes had to be custom-realigned in the field to match line geometry.

3. Continuous Bypass Pumping: To maintain uninterrupted municipal wastewater service throughout these delays and technical adjustments, MPE executed extended continuous bypass pumping operations.

Modifying the scope to structural epoxy coating at high-risk locations avoided significant utility relocations and prevented catastrophic pipe collapse while providing equivalent long-term corrosion resistance and extending service life.

Financial Considerations
Original Contract Amount: $1,078,500.00
CCO 1: -($20,336.29)
CCO 2: $9,955.72
CCO 3: 89,543.96
Final Contract Amount: $1,157,663.39
Funding for COO will be paid out of the Project's contingency which was funded through the Wastewater Capital Projects source (310-0000-57000).
50 Resolution No. 6418
Exhibit A - CCO3
Strategic Plan Alignment
The Project is consistent with Strategic Plan goal 3.4.1-Upgrade and modernize water, wastewater, and stormwater systems for long-term sustainability and efficiency by replacing old concrete sanitary sewer manholes with new polymer manholes, which will not corrode from sewer gases and have a 100-year warranty on their life expectancy.

Alternatives
• Approve the resolution as presented; or
• Modify the resolution; or
• Do not approve the Resolution. This is not recommended as the staff have determined that MPE satisfactorily completed the project.

Planning/CEQA
The proposed project is categorically exempt under Class 1 Existing Facilities, having met the qualifying criteria provided under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.

FROM: Donald Wilcox, Public Works Director, and Hilda Ramirez, Public Works Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2026

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 adopt Resolution No.6419, “Declaring Surplus Furniture, Equipment, and Other Items and Authorizing the Sale, Donation, or Disposal of Such Property.”
Executive Summary
City property may be deemed surplus due to age, condition, obsolescence, mechanical failure, excessive maintenance or repair costs, or because it is no longer needed for City operations. Before such property may be disposed of, the City Council must formally declare it surplus. As part of ongoing efforts to organize City offices and storage areas and remove unneeded items, staff has identified additional furniture, equipment, and supplies that are no longer needed for City operations or are no longer cost-effective to maintain or repair. These items have been identified since the City Council last declared property surplus on June 10, 2026. Staff recommends that the City Council declare the identified items surplus and authorize their sale, donation, recycling, or disposal, as appropriate and in the best interest of the City.

Background
Consistent with past practice, the City Council may declare City property that is obsolete, no longer in use, or no longer serves an operational purpose as surplus and authorize its sale, donation, recycling, destruction, or other appropriate disposal. The surplus property identified in Exhibit A includes office furniture and accessories; information technology equipment and accessories; obsolete mobile radios and related equipment; a bicycle; two New Holland tractors; a Generac Guardian generator; a tractor bucket attachment; plastic polymer totes; blue fiberglass aeration floats; and a non-functional elliptical machine from the Soledad Community Center.
56 Review & Analysis
City departments periodically review equipment, furnishings, and other City-owned property to identify items that are obsolete, damaged, non-operational, no longer needed, or no longer economical to maintain or repair. Since the City Council last declared property surplus in June 2026, staff has conducted additional reviews of City offices, facilities, and storage areas and identified the items listed in Exhibit A as surplus to current operational needs.

The proposed surplus inventory includes office furniture and accessories; information technology equipment and accessories; obsolete mobile radios and related equipment; a bicycle; two New Holland tractors; a Generac Guardian generator; a tractor bucket attachment; plastic polymer totes; blue fiberglass aeration floats; and a non-functional elliptical machine from the Soledad Community Center.

Staff evaluated the identified property based on its condition, usefulness, repair and maintenance requirements, and current operational need. The two New Holland tractors and elliptical machine are non-operational, the generator requires substantial repairs, and the remaining items are obsolete, damaged, or no longer needed for City operations. Based on this assessment, staff determined that retaining these items would provide limited or no operational benefit to the City.

Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 37350 and 37351, the City may dispose of personal property for the common benefit of the City. Consistent with prior City practice, once the City Council declares the identified property surplus, the items may be sold, donated, recycled, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with City policy and applicable law.

Declaring the items surplus will allow the City to remove property that no longer serves a municipal purpose, free up needed office, storage, and Public Works yard space, and reduce the costs and staff time associated with storing, maintaining, or managing obsolete and non-operational equipment. Where feasible, staff will seek to recover value through sale or reuse before recycling or disposing of items that have no practical resale value.

Financial Considerations
The sale, donation, or disposal of the property will have minimal financial impact. Proceeds from any sale of surplus items will be recorded in the appropriate City fund in accordance with City accounting practices.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Approval of the surplus equipment is consistent with Objective 10.5.1 – Maintain fiscal stability and responsible financial management. The removal and proper disposition of surplus city equipment supports the City’s ongoing goals of maintaining efficient operations, responsible stewardship of public assets, and safe, functional work areas for City staff.

Alternatives
Adopt the Resolution.

Do not surplus the property. This is not recommended because retaining obsolete, damaged, or unnecessary furniture and equipment will continue to occupy storage space and may result in additional maintenance, repair, or disposal costs.
57 Resolution No. 6419

Planning/CEQA
The approval and declaration of surplus property is not considered a project for purposes of CEQA since it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect impact on the environment. (See CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.)

TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Don Wilcox, Public Works Director and Juan Huerta, Assistant Engineer
MEETING DATE: September 16, 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. 6420, “Approving the Purchase of One Portable Generator and Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase Said Equipment from United Rentals in the Total Amount of $137,963.84." Executive Summary
The City of Soledad maintains and operates five well sites providing drinking water to residents. Well No. 11, one of the City's highest water producing sites, lacks space for a permanent generator and remains vulnerable to power outages. To maintain continuous water service during potential weather or grid emergencies, Public Works staff proposes purchasing a large portable generator to deploy to this site as needed. Because generators of this size are scarce on short notice, staff identified a single suitable pre-owned available from United Rentals unit and recommends dispensing with standard bidding procedures pursuant to Soledad Municipal Code Section 3.24.040. Staff requests City Council authorization for the City Manager to complete the $137,963.84 purchase using budgeted FY 2026– 2027 Water CIP funds.

Background
The City owns and operates five well sites that supply municipal drinking water to the entire community. Continuous electrical power is necessary to run well pumps and motors; power interruptions pose a direct risk to the City's ability to maintain water service. While most City well sites feature permanent on-site emergency generators, Well No. 11's location lacks sufficient physical space for a permanent installation. Consequently, this site remains without backup power during outages. Additionally, aging generators and electrical systems across other well sites require ongoing 62 design upgrades. With an active El Niño weather pattern forecast for this year—increasing the likelihood of severe weather and electrical grid disruptions—establishing emergency power for this unequipped site is an urgent priority.

Review & Analysis
To address this vulnerability, Public Works staff evaluated solutions to supply reliable backup power to the constrained Well No. 11 site. Acquiring a trailer-mounted portable generator provides a versatile solution: it can be positioned at the space-limited site during power outages and redeployed elsewhere in the water system as emergencies dictate.

Staff reached out to numerous vendors to find a large-capacity generator capable of meeting Well 11's requirements, but found that new, permitted portable generators were not easy to purchase off the shelf.

In response to this staff conducted targeted outreach to multiple equipment vendors and rental agencies and identified one available pre-owned generator meeting the City’s specific capacity requirements available from United Rentals. As such staff determined that this generator was the most viable option for purchase and which would satisfy Well 11's electrical capacity needs. Staff is proposing to forego typical bidding procedures per SMC Section 3.24.040.

Soledad Municipal Code (SMC) Section 3.24.040 governs bidding procedures for supplies and equipment. Under this section, bidding may be dispensed with under specific circumstances, including:

Condition 3: When the commodity, product, or equipment can be obtained from only one vendor.

Condition 4: When the City Council determines, by a resolution passed by four-fifths of its members, that differences in equipment type or market availability make selection based on suitability—rather than competitive price—to the City's advantage.

Staff determined that both Conditions 3 and 4 apply to this proposed acquisition of pre-owned equipment. Dispensing with traditional bidding procedures allows the City to secure this specialized unit immediately and safeguard municipal water operations.

In light of the foregoing, Staff is recommending that the Council approve the purchase of a portable generator from United Rentals for the total amount of $137,963.84. Given the forecast for a strong El Niño event, there is increased urgency to secure this generator as soon as possible ahead of the upcoming winter storms.

Financial Considerations
Funding for this type of equipment has been budgeted under the Water Capital Improvement budget for FY 26-27 under Well Upgrades. The additional funding needed will be reallocated from the Well Rehab CIP project to cover the difference between the available Well Upgrades funding and the generator purchase price.

TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Don Wilcox, Public Works Director and Carla James, Water Resources Manager
MEETING DATE: September 16, 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 adopt Resolution No.6421, “Authorizing Payment of Invoice No. 76688 for $9,544.93 to Rincon Consultants, Inc. for Additional, Unanticipated Work Required to Complete the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (2025 UWMP) and 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan (2025 WSCP) for Timely Submittal to the California Department of Water Resources (CA DWR) by the July 1, 2026, Compliance Deadline.” Executive Summary
Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) provided professional services to prepare the City of Soledad’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). During preparation, Rincon determined that the City’s 2020 plans required more extensive updates than originally anticipated to comply with current California Department of Water Resources (DWR) guidelines. This resulted in additional, unanticipated work necessary to complete compliant plans by the July 1, 2026 submission deadline. Rincon’s latest invoice, No. 76688, for $9,544.93, reflects their cost to support the City’s desire to submit a fully compliant UWMP and WSCP by CA DWR’s July 1 deadline.

Background
The Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act), California Water Code, Division 6, Part 2.6, Sections 10610 through 10656, requires that "Every urban water supplier shall prepare and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan." An urban water supplier is defined by the Act as a "Supplier, either 68 publicly or privately owned, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually." A UWMP is a mandatory, five-year outlook required by the CA DWR to support urban water suppliers’ long-term resource planning to ensure that adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future growth. Urban water suppliers must also prepare a WSCP, a supplemental document that outlines strategic responses the supplier may take to conserve and manage water resources essential to maintaining public health and community vitality if a water shortage is declared.

UWMPs for the 2025 cycle were required to be adopted and submitted by July 1, 2026. UWMPs were to be submitted to CA DWR within 30 days of adoption via the DWR’s WUEdata Portal.

Review & Analysis
The City issued a Request for Proposals on February 20, 2026, for preparation of the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). Three proposals were received, and Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) was selected based on the evaluation criteria established in the RFP, including its experience completing projects under accelerated timelines.

Rincon worked with City staff to complete the required public review process and prepare the documents for City Council consideration. On June 17, 2026, the City Council adopted the 2025 UWMP and WSCP through Resolutions Nos. 6387 and 6388. Both documents were subsequently submitted to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) by the July 1, 2026 statutory deadline.

During preparation of the plans, Rincon determined that the City's 2020 UWMP and WSCP required substantially more review and updating than originally anticipated to align with current DWR guidelines. This resulted in additional work across multiple chapters, tables, appendices, and maps.

Rincon notified the City of the additional effort in June 2026. Because the plans were already well underway and needed to be completed by the statutory deadline, the City directed Rincon to continue the work.

Additional costs were also incurred to address City comments on the Administrative and Public Review Drafts, revise and prepare maps, respond to CEQA-related questions, update required tables and appendices, and prepare the final documents and DWR submittal materials.

Prior to the final invoice, Rincon had billed $49,791.81, excluding retainage, against the authorized contract amount of $49,999. Rincon subsequently submitted final Invoice No. 76688, dated August 19, 2026, in the amount of $9,554.93 for the additional work necessary to finalize the plans.

Given the unanticipated level of work required to bring the City's previous plans into alignment with current DWR requirements and to complete the 2025 UWMP and WSCP by the statutory deadline, staff recommends approval and payment of Invoice No. 76688.

Financial Considerations
As of early June 2026, the following three invoices from Rincon had been received, totaling $53,324.75, or $47,992.26 after subtracting 10% retainage. 04/27/2026 Invoice No. 73964 for $2,612.75 minus 10% retainage (-$261.28) for $2,351.47 05/15/2026 Invoice No. 74411 for $33,486.75 minus 10% retainage (-$3,348.68) for $30,138.07 69 Resolution No. 6421
Ex. A - Rincon Invoice
UWMP Agreement for Services Signed
06/04/2026 Invoice No. 74790 for $17,225.25 minus 10% retainage (-$1,722.53) for $15,502.72 To date, the City has paid Rincon a total of $49,791.81. The fifth and final invoice, Invoice No. 76688, includes charges of $3,611.25, plus the entire 10% retainage chargeback of $5,332.49, for a total of $9,544.93. The City’s expenditures, if Invoice No. 76688 is authorized for payment, will total $59,336.75, or roughly a 19% cost increase from the original agreement.

Funding for Invoice No. 76688, which covers an invoice period of 07/01/2026 through 07/31/2026, will come from Professional Services Line Item 309-0000-52200 in the Water Operations Fund under Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Rincon’s work on the UWMP and WSCP aligns with the City Council’s 2025 Strategic Plan by supporting continued progress toward one of the City’s key goals and priorities of the Equity Pillar by advancing Goal 3.4 – Promote Sustainable Infrastructure and Environmental Resiliency, specifically, Objective 3.4.3 Expand water reuse and conservation systems.

Alternatives
Authorize payment of Rincon Invoice No. 76688 with a total due of $9,544.93; and Do not authorize payment. This is not recommended as the City incurred the expenses for the work.

Planning/CEQA
The preparation and adoption of UWMP and supplemental WSCP is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Water Code Section 10652, which provides that CEQA does not apply to the preparation and adoption of plans pursuant to this part or to the implementation of actions taken pursuant to Section 10632.

Public Notice Requirements
None Required.

Subject: - REVISED
Dear Ms. James:

Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) is pleased to provide a revised proposal for the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) Update that reflects a reduced scope and budget. In response to the City s direction, Rincon has refined the work plan to streamline project tasks while maintaining compliance the Department of Water Resources (DWRs) UWMP standards and ensuring a complete and defensible UWMP. The revised proposal is provided for the City s consideration.

Background
Rincon submitted its original proposal to the City on March 13, 2026, outlining a comprehensive workplan tailored to support the development of the City s 2025 UWMP Update. The City requested modifications to reduce the overall project costs. To meet this request, the revised scope combines three tasks into other tasks and adjusts staffing by replacing a Planner IV with a Planner I role where appropriate. These refinements preserve the quality and accuracy of required deliverables while achieving the cost reductions requested by the City.

Scope of Work
-to-day
priorities of City staff supporting this effort. This task includes regular communication with City staff through submittal of the Final UWMP to DWR by July 1, 2026. This task also includes monthly progress statement and invoices, along with internal Rincon team coordination on workflow.

Rincon will begin the contract by hosting a kickoff meeting that includes key staff from the City. Prior to this meeting, The 60-minute kickoff meeting will serve to confirm points of contact and project roles, establish communication protocols; review and confirm the scope of services and project schedule; discuss the RFI; review the draft UWMP outline; and establish a schedule for biweekly check-in meetings.

Rincon will develop a detailed schedule and communication plan to discuss at the kickoff meeting and anticipates providing updates to the schedule as directed by the City. 106
City of Soledad
Proposal for City of Soledad s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan Update REVISED 2 Rincon will schedule and facilitate up to twelve (12) 60-minute progress meetings, generally biweekly as needed, with designated City staff to review project progress and collaborate on critical path items.

Meetings are anticipated to be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams. Rincon will provide a draft agenda and compile summary notes following each of the progress meetings.

Up to twelve (12) progress meetings
Monthly progress reports and invoices
City staff will provide background technical and planning data and information to assist Rincon in completion of the 2025 UWMP.

Up to twelve (12) progress meetings (60-minutes, generally bi-weekly) will be held between the City and Rincon. If a meeting is not required, Rincon will coordinate with City personnel in advance.

Rincon has prepared a request for information (RFI) as part of this proposal (Attachment B). Rincon anticipates to review the RFI with City staff at the project kickoff meeting. The data request was developed based upon the 2025 UWMP Guidebook and Standard Tables and specifies the type of data requested, date range of requested data, and format.

Following the kickoff meeting and receipt of RFI information, Rincon will organize data into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. In this format, Rincon can easily perform calculations and statistical analyses At the kickoff meeting, Rincon will work with the City to define, obtain, and receive approval for data required by the Water Code and 2025 Guidebook. Our team will review all submitted materials for use in preparing the UWMP. Rincon will set up a collaborative SharePoint site that can be accessed by the project team and the City to house and share project files.

Rincon will update service area, population, and land use information. The data request for this project includes the following:

GIS shapefiles of City service area, jurisdictional boundary, and water facilities (e.g., pipelines, locations)
Historical and projected service area population
Number of Section 8 households
Rincon will compile supply, demand, and conservation program data. The data request for this project includes the following:

Water production by supply source from 2021-2025
Water consumption by customer category from 2021-2025
American Water Works Association Water Loss Audits from 2021-2024 Description and status of implementation for demand management measures 107

Relevant sections or excerpts from hazard mitigation plans Rincon will compile numerical data into a structured Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, suitable for populating an Excel file for the City review, confirming formatting and content compliance. Rincon will conduct thorough reviews of all calculations and underlying assumptions, making necessary adjustments to RFI (Excel), included as Attachment B
The City will provide RFI information no later than March 25, 2026 to support work described in Tasks 3 through 10. The information provided by the City from the RFI would not require additional data requests. Should additional data requests or incomplete RFI be identified, the project schedule may be delayed as described in this proposal. system water losses, and nonrevenue uses, consistent with the 2025 UWMP Guidebook structure and standardized submittal tables. We will quantify past and current use from City billing and production using population, housing, and employment forecasts coordinated with local and regional land use authorities and plans (e.g., General Plan, Housing Element/RHNA).

Rincon will analyze conditions affecting future demand, including growth phasing, outdoor/indoor use splits, water loss trends, behavioral persistence from recent drought periods. We will align the demand sk analyses to ensure a coherent plan.

DWR Submittal Tables (Excel)
Rincon will compile and calculate current and projected potable, recycled, and supplemental water supplies using the templates and definitions in the 2025 UWMP tables. We will quantify normal, (e.g., GSP sustainable yield, treatment plant production records, or water purchase agreements). 108
City of Soledad
Proposal for City of Soledad s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan Update REVISED 4 Rincon will integrate SVBGSA data from the GSP and updated basin monitoring, including groundwater levels, quality, extraction reporting, seawater intrusion trends, and sustainable yield estimates. This information will be incorporated into groundwater supply projections, noting constraints, pumping allocations, and basin recovery expectations.

Rincon will assess City and regional treatment, pumping, distribution, and recharge capacities; evaluate modeling results for the Salinas Valley Basin.

DWR Submittal Tables (Excel)
Analysis of water service reliability will consider variable wet and dry year conditions throughout the state, as well as five years of drought for the DRA. Working in close coordination with the City, Rincon will determine which water years shall be used as the basis for estimating supply reliability for the normal water year, single-dry-year, and 5-year multiple-dry-year scenarios. Rincon will prepare the DRA to assess the reliability of each water source over 5-year drought conditions. As required by DWR, the DRA will assess plausible changes in climate based upon known data such as historical drought hydrology, as well as regulations and applicable local criteria.

Rincon will compile historical and current groundwater pumping and will compare projected supplies and demands across required scenarios (normal, single-dry, multiple-dry years). Hydrologic indices and groundwater source data will be integrated to quantify annual variability, constraints, and management tools.

Rincon will compile numerical data into a structured Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, suitable for populating an Excel file for the City review, confirming formatting and content compliance. Rincon will conduct thorough reviews of all calculations and underlying assumptions, making necessary adjustments to updated with each version of the 2025 UWMP so that all data is aligned among the written and excel deliverables.

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No.6422, “Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement with BKF (formerly MNS Engineers) for Additional Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Application Support for the City’s Backup Emergency Generators Project and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Amendment for an Amount not to exceed $33,093.”
Executive Summary
The City Council previously approved a Consulting Services Agreement with MNS Engineers, now BKF, to prepare the HMGP application for the City’s Backup Emergency Generators Project. BKF completed additional work needed to satisfy Cal OES and FEMA requirements, including expanded design and cost estimating, and responses to FEMA requests for information. Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $33,093, increasing the total authorized fee to $108,745.

Background
Many of the backup generators serving City-owned essential facilities are old and at the end of their useful service lives. The City pursued funding through FEMA’s HMGP to support the replacement of generators, automatic transfer switches, and related electrical infrastructure. The proposed improvements will provide reliable emergency power to the Police Department, City Hall, water wells 6, 7, 9, and 10, La Cuesta Booster Station, and wastewater facilities, ensuring continuity of operations during emergency events. The HMGP application identified a total project cost of $3,755,500 and 134
requested $2,816,625 in grant funding, with the City providing the required 25% local match of $938,875.

On September 18, 2024, the City Council approved a Consulting Services Agreement with MNS Engineers, now BKF, in the amount of $75,652 to prepare the HMGP application, including technical assessments, cost estimates, and design support through subconsultants as needed to apply for HMGP funding opportunities.

Following application submittal, Cal OES issued several Requests For Information (RFIs) requiring additional information, clarification, and supporting documentation. This required continued coordination among BKF, the City, and the subconsultant, Cannon Engineering.

Review & Analysis
This amendment request covers additional services that were necessary to support the HMGP subapplication and respond to FEMA review comments. The additional services include adding a generator at the Front Street underpass stormwater pump station to the original design and costestimating effort; advancing the project plans and cost estimate from 30 percent to 60 percent completion as required by Cal OES for FEMA sub-application submission; and responding to FEMA requests for information between December 2025 and August 2026, including programmatic requests, benefit-cost analysis requests, and environmental and historic preservation requests.

The responses were necessary to justify the project need and resulted in the City’s sub-application being included with the State’s submittal to FEMA. The HMGP grant application has been submitted and is currently under review by FEMA. Grant awards are anticipated to be announced in early 2027.

The additional work required to respond to RFIs was not fully anticipated in the original Agreement and resulted in project costs exceeding the approved contract amount.

The total amendment request of $33,093 includes:
$7,775 for Cannon Engineering additional services
$25,318 for BKF additional services
This work has been completed, including preparation of supplemental materials, revisions to application components, and coordination necessary to maintain eligibility for HMGP funding.

Financial Considerations
The original agreement was approved in the amount of $75,652. Amendment No. 1 will increase the total contract amount by $33,093, for a revised total not to exceed $108,745.

Funding for this effort will be paid by existing project budgets and will continue to be allocated proportionally among the Water, Sewer, and General Funds.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This project supports Objective 3.4.3 of the City’s Strategic Plan by advancing climate-resilient infrastructure through the implementation of backup emergency power systems at critical facilities. 135
Resolution No. 6422
Exhibit A - BKF Agreement Amendment No. 1
Alternatives
Do not approve the Resolution. This is not recommended because the additional work was necessary to complete the HMGP subapplication process and respond to Cal OES and FEMA requirements.

Provide other direction to staff.

Planning/CEQA
Approval of Amendment No. 1 is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it authorizes professional services for grant application support and related administrative activities only. Any future construction or implementation of the Backup Emergency Generators Project will be subject to applicable environmental review prior to approval.

Public Notice Requirements
None Required.

AMENDMENT NO. 1
FOR

CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN

THE CITY OF SOLEDAD AND BKF

TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HMGP GRANT SERVICES
On September 16, 2026, the City Council of the City of Soledad approved Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Soledad and BKF (formerly MNS Engineers) in an amount not to exceed $33,093 for additional services required to support the City’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) subapplication and respond to Cal OES and FEMA requests for information, including supplemental technical documentation, application revisions, expanded design and cost estimating, coordination with City staff and subconsultants, and other tasks necessary to maintain HMGP eligibility.

The Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Soledad and BKF (formerly MNS Engineers), dated October 4, 2024, shall be amended to increase the authorized compensation by $33,093, for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $108,745. With the exception of this amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and shall continue in full force and effect.

Subject: Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to Procure Emergency Generators Request for Amendment
BKF requests an amendment to our Consulting Agreement for Grant Writing Services to fund the procurement of emergency generators under the subject program.

BKF (MNS Engineers at the time) engaged in good faith discussions with City staff and agreed that work efforts in addition to the negotiated agreement were necessary to fulfill the Grant requirements. After agreeing to the scope and level of effort for this work, we proceeded to execute the work. This Amendment request covers the following additional efforts:
• Add a generator at the Front Street underpass for the stormwater pump station to our original design and cost estimating effort.
• The original Scope of Work was to provide plans and cost estimate to a 30% milestone. As a condition of submitting the HMGP subapplication to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), staff with Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) required that the City provide plans and a cost estimate to a 60% milestone.
• BKF (MNS) responded to FEMA’s requests for Information (RFI) after submitting the final application on September 15, 2025. Three Programmatic, one Benefit-Cost Analysis, and one Environmental and Historic Preservation RFI’s were received and responded to between December 2, 2025 and March 10, 2026. These were necessary to justify project need and practicality. As a result, the subapplication was included with the State’s submittal to FEMA. The total project cost is estimated at $3,755,500. The requested grant amount was $2,816,625 with the city’s match of 25% ($938,875) During the project Subapplication Kick-off Meeting on July 29, 2025 with the City and CalOES staff, BKF (MNS) and Cannon Corp were verbally authorized to develop the plans and cost estimate to the 60% milestone for submission to FEMA.

Our amendment request is shown in this table:

Authorized fee = $75,652
MNS additional services = 25,318
Cannon (consultant) additional services = 7,775
Total Amendment Request = $33,093
140

Page 2 of 2 ends

New Authorized Fee = $108,745
The City’s grant application is under FEMA review and was only eligible for submission with the completion of the additional work provided by BKF (MNS) and its subcontractor. FEMA will announce Grant recipients and awardsin early 2027. The BKF Team looks forward to continuing our work with the City of Soledad on this program and would appreciate a quick resolution to the outstanding, uncompensated level of effort for which the City agreed to, and accepted.

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad Consider and Adopt Resolution No.6423, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving a Construction Services Agreement With Stephen Ciari Plumbing and Heating Inc. for an Amount Not to Exceed $80,000 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Contract Documents on Behalf of the City of Soledad." Executive Summary
The City of Soledad’s Wastewater Treatment Plant relies on a 15-year-old recycled water pressure tank whose internal protective lining has failed due to age, causing wall thinning and threatening irrigation delivery. Public Works staff solicited competitive bids via PlanetBids to replace the tank, receiving one responsive bid from Stephen Ciari Plumbing and Heating Inc. for $80,000. Staff recommends awarding the contract for this project funded entirely through the Wastewater Capital Projects Fund. Approval aligns with Strategic Plan Goal 3.4.1 to upgrade and modernize water and wastewater infrastructure for long-term sustainability.

Background
The City of Soledad’s Wastewater Treatment Plant produces tertiary-treated recycled water for municipal irrigation at local ball fields and school yards. Essential to this operation system is a recycled water pressure tank station, which maintains pressurized reserve water for fixtures and valves while preventing continuous pump operation and wear.

Installed approximately 15 years ago, the existing pressure tank’s internal lining has degraded completely due to age and exposure to water treatment chemicals and air. This failure has exposed the 142
Resolution No. 6423
Exhibit A - Contract
Attachment 1 - Bid Plumbing Proposal
outer metallic shell to ongoing oxidation and wall thinning. To ensure the uninterrupted delivery of recycled water from the City’s Recycled Water Project, the complete replacement of the aging pressure tank is required.

Review & Analysis
Public Works staff developed a scope of work to replace the compromised pressure tank with a new unit matching the exact physical dimensions and technical capacity of the original equipment.

Staff advertised a formal Request for Bids through the City's electronic procurement portal, PlanetBids.

Bids were opened on August 21, 2026, yielding one bid submission:

Stephen Ciari Plumbing and Heating Inc.: $80,000
Staff thoroughly reviewed the bid submission and confirmed that Stephen Ciari Plumbing and Heating Inc. meets all technical qualifications and scope requirements.

Financial Considerations
Funding for this project will be provided by the Wastewater Fund for Capital Projects. $80,000 will be reallocated from CIP project S26-04-Purchase of a new Crane Truck and will leave $20,000 to fix the old inoperable Crane truck currently located at the Wastewater treatment plant.

Strategic Plan Alignment
The proposed purchase supports strategic plan Objective 3.4.1 – Upgrade and modernize water, wastewater, and stormwater systems for long-term sustainability and efficiency.

Alternatives
Adopt the recommended resolution; or
Do not adopt the recommended resolution; or
Provide Staff with direction.

Planning/CEQA
The proposed purchase is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 Class 2, which exempts the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced.

Public Notice Requirements
None Required.

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad consider and adopt Resolution No.6424, “Approving a New Consulting Services Agreement with Jaso Technology in an Amount Not to Exceed $81,000 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Said Agreement”.

Executive Summary
The City currently contracts IT services with Robin Warbey Consulting. Mr. Warbey has notified the City of his intent to terminate the current agreement due to personal reasons. Edward Agubiya, owner of Jaso Technology, formerly with Monterey Computer Corporation and currently working under the Robin Warbey Consulting Agreement, has agreed to take over the IT services under the same terms and conditions as the agreement with Robin Warbey Consulting. Edward Agubiya will continue to provide both strategic leadership and hands-on technical support. Staff recommends approval of a new agreement with Jaso Technology in an amount not to exceed $81,000 From October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, as a cost-effective solution that maintains service levels, continuity of critical infrastructure improvements, and provides budget certainty.

Background
On June 17, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No 6381, A resolution of the City Council of the city of Soledad approving a new consulting services agreement with Robin Warbey in an amount not to exceed $111,000. In August 2026, Mr. Warbey notified the City of his intent to terminate the agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 of the agreement for personal reasons. Section 8.1 states the “Consultant may cancel this Agreement upon 30 days written notice to City and shall include in such notice the reasons for cancellation.”
161
Review & Analysis
The City is currently undertaking several significant IT infrastructure modernization projects under the guidance of Robin Warbey and Edward Agubiya under the Robin Warbey Consulting agreement. With Mr. Warbey’s notice to terminate his agreement and to provide continuity of IT services to the City, Staff recommends contracting with Jaso Technology, owned by Edward Agubiya for IT services.

The proposed agreement establishes a flat monthly service fee of $9,000, for a total contract amount not to exceed $81,000 for the period of October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. These are the same terms as the agreement with Robin Warbey Consulting.

This structure provides budget certainty and aligns with common IT service agreements utilized by other public agencies.

Jaso Technology will coordinate with City IT staff for front-line support and will collaborate with thirdparty vendors as necessary. The City will notify Jaso Technology in advance of planned IT staff 162
Resolution No. 6424
Exhibit A - Jaso Technology Standard Agreement 2026-2027 absences when Jaso Technology may be required to provide primary front-line coverage.

Hardware procurement and software licensing costs are not included in this agreement unless otherwise specified in writing.

Edward Agubiya, owner of Jaso Technology, has performed satisfactorily and has demonstrated the capacity to provide both routine support and higher-level expertise as needed for the past several months. Because Mr. Agubiya is located in Salinas, he has been able to provide a much more consistent onsite presence.

Financial Considerations
The proposed flat-rate agreement will not exceed $81,000 through June 30, 2027, and does not require an amendment to the FY 2026/27 budget since the terms and conditions are the same as the previously approved agreement with Robin Warbey Consulting which are included in the budget.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This agreement directly supports Goal 10.4 – Modernize Technology and Fleet Infrastructure to Support Efficient, Secure, and Resilient City Operations. Specifically, it advances Objective 10.4.1 – Conduct a citywide assessment of hardware, software, and technology infrastructure needs. The agreement enables the timely completion of the IT server replacement project for City Hall, the Wastewater Reclamation Facility, and the Police Department, addressing critical infrastructure vulnerabilities and ensuring continuity of essential City services.

Alternatives
Adopt the resolution and amendment as presented; or
Do not adopt the resolution and provide other direction to Staff. This is not recommended as it could seriously jeopardize our IT infrastructure and departmental productivity.

Planning/CEQA
The proposed professional services agreement does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines §15378). Since the agreement will not result in any direct or reasonably foreseeable physical changes to the environment, it is not considered a project, and no environmental review is required.

Public Notice Requirements
Not required.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6425, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Authorizing the Submittal of an Application to the California Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) for the Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program in the Amount of $4.5 Million
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Ana Ambriz, Parks and Recreation Director
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad adopt Resolution No.6425, "Authorizing the Submittal of an Application to the California Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) for the Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program in the Amount of $4.5 Million."
Executive Summary
Consistent with the Soledad Strategic Plan, City staff recommends applying for up to $4.5 million through the California Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program, Advanced Infrastructure Projects category. If awarded, the grant would fund the Salinas Valley Resilience Hub Cooling Initiative, a regional project to improve public facilities across the Salinas Valley and provide safe, reliable places for residents to stay cool during extreme heat events.

The City of Soledad would serve as the lead applicant, with the Cities of Salinas, Gonzales, and King City, and the County of Monterey as co-applicants. Ecology Action would serve as the required Community-Based Organization co-applicant. To move forward with the application, City Council is asked to adopt a resolution authorizing the City to submit the grant application and, if awarded, serve as the grant administrator, and execute the required grant documents to implement the project. The grant application is due October 13, 2026.

Background
The Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program (Extreme Heat Program) is part of the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP) at the Governor’s Office of Land Use 182
and Climate Innovation (LCI). The program provides funding for projects that protect California communities most at risk from extreme heat. Round 2 will provide funding for infrastructure projects through the 2024 Climate Bond (Proposition 4) and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

In response to this funding opportunity, the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) brought together jurisdictions from across the Salinas Valley to discuss a regional application. Extreme heat is a growing risk for communities across the Salinas Valley, especially for farmworkers, older adults, children, and people who do not have air conditioning or accessible cooling infrastructure. Libraries, parks, and community centers are important places where residents can find relief from extreme heat.

Through this regional effort, participating jurisdictions identified gaps in their current heat-response infrastructure, including a lack of shade in outdoor spaces, aging or undersized heating and cooling systems, and limited backup power at cooling centers. The proposed project addresses these needs through practical improvements at existing public facilities. New shade structures and trees will provide cooler outdoor spaces, HVAC upgrades will improve indoor cooling, and battery backup systems will help keep cooling centers operating during power outages.

Following the initial regional discussions, AMBAG approached the City of Soledad about leading the effort, with support from AMBAG and Farallon Strategies. Given the City's experience and capacity to coordinate regional efforts, Soledad agreed to serve as the lead applicant and requested 10 percent of the grant funding for project administration. The City has been working with AMBAG, Farallon Strategies, and the participating jurisdictions to develop the application. The City was also awarded technical assistance to support the application process and continues to work with the project partners to finalize and submit the grant application.

Review & Analysis
The grant program requires projects to protect vulnerable populations from extreme heat, build on prior planning, and be ready for implementation. Through regional discussions, participating jurisdictions identified projects that advance the grant’s goals by reducing heat-related harm, strengthening partnerships, building community, and creating lasting benefits. Together, we developed the Salinas Valley Resilience Hub Cooling Initiative, which includes improvements at the San Lucas Library, Greenfield Library, King City Library, Gonzales community centers, Sherwood Hall, and Orchard Lane Park.

The proposed improvements include indoor and outdoor cooling solutions. San Lucas Library and Orchard Lane Park would receive shade structures and trees to create safer, cooler outdoor spaces during extreme heat. Greenfield Library and King City Library would receive HVAC replacements to restore reliable cooling at facilities that regularly serve as cooling centers. Salinas and Gonzales would add battery backup systems to help keep cooling centers operating during power outages.

The project will serve residents most vulnerable to extreme heat, including farmworkers, older adults, children, and households without air conditioning. Libraries, parks, and community centers offer free, trusted places for residents to stay cool. By expanding indoor and outdoor cooling options across the Salinas Valley, the project will reduce heat-related health risks and strengthen the region’s response to future heat events. Because San Lucas is included and is considered a Severely Disadvantaged Community (SDAC), the application would also receive the maximum points for demonstrating need.

For Soledad, the grant would help complete Orchard Lane Park improvements that were value183 engineered out of the original project due to construction costs. Funding would restore planned shade and cooling features, creating safer, more comfortable outdoor gathering spaces for residents during extreme heat.

The regional approach will help reduce costs and address limited staff and construction management capacity, particularly for smaller cities. Participating jurisdictions may share resources and use joint purchasing to achieve savings. Partners will also share outcomes and lessons learned with communities across the Salinas Valley and Monterey Bay Area to support future heat resilience projects.

Each partner will enter into an agreement with the City of Soledad and lead improvements within its own facilities or areas of responsibility. Soledad will lead the Orchard Lane Park project as park owner.

Monterey County will lead the San Lucas Library and Greenfield Library projects; King City will lead the King City Library project; Salinas will lead Sherwood Hall; and Gonzales will lead improvements at its community center. Ecology Action will lead the project’s community belonging activities and connect project partners, community-based organizations, and resident groups. Additional CBO partners may be added to the final application.

As grant administrator, the City would receive 10%, or $450,000, to support oversight of timelines, compliance requirements, contracting regulations, and reimbursement submittals. Based on prior experience administering regional grants, the City has the capacity to serve in this role.

Financial Considerations
The City of Soledad is seeking up to $4.5 million in grant funding through the California Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program.

If awarded, the grant would fund the Salinas Valley Resilience Hub Cooling Initiative, including the City of Soledad’s improvements at Orchard Lane Park.

The City is requesting approximately 10 percent of the total grant award for project administration and coordination.

There is no financial commitment required from the City to submit the grant application. If the grant is awarded, staff will return to the City Council, as needed, for approval of any required appropriations, and related project actions.

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. Goal 3.4 – Promote Sustainable Infrastructure and Environmental Resiliency. Goal 6.4 – Foster Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Response, and Community Resilience.

Alternatives
Approve Resolution No. 6425; or
Do not approve Resolution No. 6425 and provide direction to staff.

Planning/CEQA
Authorization to submit an application for a grant is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because the action 184
Resolution 6425
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 grant will be subject to separate environmental review under CEQA prior to approval or implementation.

Public Notice Requirements
Not required.

TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Mike Rodriquez, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No.6427, Approving and Accepting the Soledad Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Military Equipment Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(d) and Renewing City of Soledad Ordinance No. 743 “Approving Soledad Police Department Policy Manual Policy 706-Military Equipment.” Executive Summary
Pursuant to the requirements of AB 481, the City Council previously adopted Ordinance No. 743 approving Soledad Police Department Policy Manual Policy 706, which has since been renumbered to Policy 709. Policy 709 establishes an inventory of “military equipment” possessed and/or acquired by the Soledad Police Department, explains why such equipment may be used by the Department, why such use is deemed necessary, and the costs associated with maintaining and storing such equipment.

AB 481 is seen as a transparency law, informing both the Council and the community of the possession and potential use of such equipment. AB 481 also establishes the requirement that the ordinance adopting a military equipment use policy must be reviewed and renewed on an annual basis. To facilitate this review, the Police Department is required to prepare an Annual Report concerning the use of the Department’s military equipment.

The Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Military Equipment Report was submitted to the City Council on July 1, 2026. It included, for the first time, references to two unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) in the City’s possession, one of which was purchased in the 2025- 2026 reporting period without Council authorization. However, due to a post-submission discovery of additional unreported and/or unauthorized equipment, projectile shotguns/launchers and ammunition, an amended report was prepared and submitted to the City Council on August 5, 2026. The amended 188
2025-2026 Annual Report and Ordinance No. 743 are before the Council this evening for consideration of acceptance and renewal respectively.

Background
Effective January 1, 2022, Assembly Bill 481 (codified in Government Code Section 7070 et seq.) requires legislative bodies to adopt ordinances approving military equipment policies before law enforcement agencies can continue to engage in specified activities related to the use of what the state legislature has defined as “military equipment” in Government Code Section 7070. The Soledad Police Department Military Equipment Policy was approved by the City Council by Ordinance No. 743 on June 15, 2022.

Government Code Section 7071(e)(1) states that a governing body shall review any ordinance that it has adopted pursuant to this section approving the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment at least annually and, subject to paragraph (e)(2), to vote on whether to renew the ordinance at a regular meeting.

Paragraph (e)(2) of Government Code Section 7071 states that the governing body shall determine, based on an annual report, whether each type of military equipment identified in that report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in subdivision (d) of Section 7071, which reads as follows:

A. The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.

B. The Proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.

C. If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.

D. Prior military equipment use complied with the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the accompanying military equipment use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.

If the governing body determines that a type of military equipment identified in its annual military equipment report has not complied with the standards for approval set forth above, the governing body shall either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for that type of military equipment or require modifications to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance.

In order to facilitate the orderly annual ordinance review referenced above, Government Code Section 7072 requires that any law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the government body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The annual military equipment report shall, at a minimum, include the following information for the immediately preceding year for each type of military equipment:

1. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.

2. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.

3. The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use 189
policy, and any actions taken in response.

4. The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.

5. The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment.

6. If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.

The Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Military Equipment Report was originally submitted to the City Council on July 1, 2026. For the first time, the report included references to two unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) in the Department’s possession, one of which had been purchased without council authorization in the 2025-2026 reporting period. Subsequent to this submission, the Department discovered additional unreported equipment, a decades old set of less lethal shotguns and ammunition (bean-bags) and two less lethal launchers and ammunition (projectiles). As with one of the afore-referenced drones, the less lethal launchers and projectiles had been purchased without Council authorization during the 2025-2026 reporting period. An amended report including all of the equipment referenced above was prepared and submitted to the City Council on August 5, 2026. The Council subsequently considered and approved ordinances retroactively authorizing the purchase and use of the DJI Avata 2 FPV drone and two FN Herstal 3030 Less Lethal Launchers and ammunition on August 19, 2026. The other drone is currently non-functioning and cannot be repaired, and as such, will be treated as surplus property. The older less lethal shotguns, which were acquired long before AB 481 was adopted, have been grandfathered into the City’s military equipment inventory.

The amended 2025-2026 Annual Report and Ordinance No. 743 are before the Council this evening for consideration of acceptance and renewal respectively. A copy of the Soledad Police Department’s AB 481 Annual Report 2025-2026 is attached to proposed Resolution No. 6427 as Exhibit A. A copy of Ordinance No. 743 is attached to Resolution No. 6427 as Exhibit B.

Review & Analysis
The City Council considered and adopted Ordinance No. 743 “Approving Soledad Police Department Policy Manual Policy 706- Military Equipment” on June 15, 2022.[1] During the June 15 meeting, and the prior meeting at which Ordinance No. 743 was introduced, the Council took comment from the public and discussed the ordinance and involved policy.

On August 5, 2026, the Council received an amended version of the Police Department’s Annual Report on military equipment. The Report was thereafter posted on the City’s website. Staff also publicized the date and location of the required “Community Engagement Meeting” concerning the Report, set as a part of the City Council’s regular meeting agenda, for September 16, 2026, through social media, postings, and as a part of the City Council’s posting of its meeting agenda. Policy 709 has been continuously posted on the City website since adoption. [1] Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 743, Department Policy Manual 706 was renumbered to 709.

The Annual Report is meant to provide yearly information about each type of military equipment that was approved by the Council. In Soledad, military equipment currently possessed by the Police Department consists of 13 M16A2 Commando 5.56 patrol carbine rifles and 7,559 +/- rounds of ammunition, one Skydio X2 drone, currently inoperable, one DJI Avata 2 FPV drone, which has not 190
been deployed since its purchase, 2 FN Herstal 303 Less Lethal Launchers and ammunition (760 projectiles), which like the Skydio X2 drone, have not been deployed since purchase, and six Remington 870 Police Magnum 12 gauge Less Lethal Shotguns and ammunition (330 beanbags). The Report contains a summary of how the equipment was used, if at all, any complaints or concerns received about the equipment, and any associated costs related to the equipment’s use.

For this reporting period, the Department has for the first time disclosed the possession of two drones, one of which was purchased in 2022 and the other which was purchased during the 2025-2026 reporting period. Staff has determined that the purchase of the drones was not an attempt to circumvent the reporting and purchasing requirements set forth in Ordinance No. 743, but rather, was based on the erroneous belief that the drones, both of which are readily available for purchase by the general public, were not classified as military equipment.

Also disclosed for the first time in the current reporting period are two different sets of less lethal projectile shotguns/launchers. The first set of launchers, modified shotguns, were only recently discovered in the City’s inventory and have not been deployed in many years. Staff confirmed that the shotguns are still in good working order. The second set of launchers, purchased during the 2025-2026 reporting period without going through the requisite purchase procedures, have never been deployed and were held from use until the Council’s recent approval of the same. Possession and use of less lethal weapons is supported by the desire to allow officers to diffuse potentially life-threatening circumstances from a distance without the use of deadly force. The recent purchase of the second set of launchers appears to have been the result of a lack of awareness of the State’s existing acquisition requirements. The Department has responded by designating Department Range Master Contreras, who is familiar with Policy 709’s requirements, as the new coordinator for implementation and compliance with Ordinance No. 743.

It should be noted that the Department complied with Ordinance No. 743 as well as City transparency policies by taking immediate steps to revise its existing inventory list of military equipment, by seeking and obtaining retroactive approval of all unauthorized purchases, and by prohibiting the use of the above-referenced Skydio drone and Herstal Launchers until Council authorization had been obtained.

All necessary findings for the acquisition and use of such equipment were made by the City Council and memorialized in Ordinances No. 782 and 783.

Based on the foregoing, the Council should hold a community meeting to receive comment upon and to discuss the Annual Report. Thereafter, State law requires that the City review and consider renewal of its ordinance and military equipment policy. Staff has reviewed the updated Report and inventory of military equipment held by the Police Department and believes that all of the findings made by the Council in support of the adoption of Policy 706 in 2022 should remain unchanged. As such, staff believes that both the Annual Report and Ordinance and newly numbered Policy 709 can be renewed for another year by way of resolution finding that the Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with legal requirements and that there have been no changes to the policy and no immediate plans to acquire any additional military equipment. The adoption of a new ordinance is not needed at this time.

Staff will prepare a note attached to Ordinance No. 743 indicating that former Policy 706 has been renumbered to 709.

Financial Considerations
There will not be any new, unplanned direct fiscal impacts in continuing the ownership and minimal use of equipment already in the Police Department’s inventory or continuing to collaborate with other law enforcement agencies utilizing miliary equipment, including in mutual aid circumstances. 191
Resolution No. 6427
Exhibit A - Soledad Police Department AB 481 Annual Report Exhibit B - Ordinance No. 743 with Policy 709
California Code 7071
Maintenance costs of existing equipment, if any, are within the Police Department’s budget.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Consideration and adoption of the revised AB 481 Annual Report and renewal of the adoption of the City’s Ordinance approving policies applicable to the Police Department’s use of 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. The involved annual review process allows the public to ascertain information about and provide input on the acquisition, use and maintenance costs associated with such equipment.

Alternatives
Adopt Resolution No. 6427, Approving and Accepting the Soledad Police Department’s AB 481 Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Military Equipment Use Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 7071(d) and Renewing City of Soledad Ordinance No. 743 “Approving Soledad Police Department Policy Manual Policy 706-Military Equipment.” Council could make changes to the Military Equipment Policy and/or Ordinance No. 743 if the Council determines that there has been significant non-compliance with standards set forth in subdivision (d) of Section 7071 of the Government Code. However, the City Manager, Police Department Staff, and legal counsel believe that the non-compliance issues encountered in Report Year 2025-2026 were quickly addressed in accordance with Policy direction and requirements, and that the Department has taken adequate measures to avoid potential similar non-compliance issues. As such, no change to Policy 709 is recommended.

Planning/CEQA
Consideration, approval and acceptance of the Police Department’s AB 481 Annual Report and renewal of Ordinance No. 743 “Approving Soledad Police Department Policy Manual 706-Military Equipment” are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Said actions are not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines since there is no potential for the actions to result in direct or indirect physical change to the environment. In addition, the actions are not subject to CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility they may have a significant effect on the environment.

Public Notice Requirements
Notice has been posted on the city website commencing August 7, 2026, to the present date.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6426, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Participatory Budgeting Projects for the $250,000 Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) Allocation
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Donald Wilcox, Public Works Director and Alex Ramos, Engineering Project Manager
MEETING DATE: September 16, 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 consider and adopt Resolution No.6426, “Approving the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Participatory Budgeting Projects for the $250,000 Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) Allocation,” and provide direction regarding the potential inclusion of an additional project location should funding remain available after completion of the currently identified project locations.

Executive Summary
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), in partnership with local agencies and South County cities, developed the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan to improve safe access to schools. Through a participatory budgeting process, TAMC allocated up to $250,000 to each participating city, and in November 2023, the City Council approved the projects selected by Soledad’s Participatory Budgeting Committee.

Since that time, several of the originally selected projects have been completed, funded through other sources, or determined to require additional planning, making the use of SRTS funds at those locations unnecessary or premature. To preserve the intent of the community-driven process, the City reconvened the Participatory Budgeting Committee to reassess priorities and identify projects that can be effectively implemented with the available TAMC funding.

The revised project list includes three projects from the original selection and two new projects: “No UTurn” signage and a roundabout study on Metz Road, and pedestrian improvements at Vista de Soledad and Gabilan Drive. In addition, City staff and the project team identified potential pedestrian safety improvements at the uncontrolled intersection of Vista de Soledad and Franscioni Street, which could 217
include enhanced crosswalk treatments, pedestrian-activated warning lights, curb extensions, and related improvements. Staff is requesting City Council approval of the revised project list and direction regarding whether the Vista de Soledad/Franscioni Street location should be considered for improvements if funding remains after completion of the projects prioritized through the participatory budgeting process.

Background
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (“TAMC”), in partnership with the Monterey County Health Department, Ecology Action, and the South County cities, developed the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School (“SRTS”) Plan to identify barriers to safe and convenient access to schools and recommend infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements.

As part of the SRTS Plan, TAMC conducted a participatory budgeting process that allowed community members to identify and prioritize projects for implementation using up to $250,000 allocated by TAMC to each participating city. On November 15, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6020 approving the projects selected through Soledad’s participatory budgeting process and directing staff to proceed with implementation planning.

Since that time, several of the originally selected projects have either been completed, programmed for improvement through other funding sources, or determined to require more extensive planning and technical studies. In some cases, permanent improvements are included in other grant-funded projects.

Proceeding with interim improvements at these locations could result in unnecessary costs and the subsequent modification or removal of improvements when the larger projects are constructed.

To preserve the intent of the original SRTS participatory budgeting process and ensure that the $250,000 in TAMC funding is directed toward projects that can be effectively implemented, the City conducted a new participatory budgeting process on May 27, 2026. The committee was invited to reconsider project priorities in light of improvements that have since been completed, funded, or programmed and to identify alternative projects that continue to advance safe access to schools.

Through this process, a revised list of priority projects was identified for use of the $250,000 in TAMC funding. The revised projects are now being presented to the City Council for consideration and approval.

Review & Analysis
On May 27, 2026, City staff and the project team provided the Participatory Budgeting Committee with an update on the progression of the SRTS projects, introduced the design team, and identified improvements that had either already been completed or were anticipated to be completed through other City projects. The Committee was provided with an opportunity to reconsider the remaining project priorities and identify additional improvements for implementation with the available SRTS Participatory Budgeting funding. This approach allowed the City to avoid duplicating improvements being delivered through other projects while preserving the community-driven intent of the original participatory budgeting process.

Based on the results of the May 27, 2026, meeting, the Participatory Budgeting Committee identified three priority projects for consideration. The highest-ranked project was the Intersection Improvements at Main Street and Gabilan Drive, receiving six votes. However, portions of these improvements are being addressed through other City efforts. Additionally, the roundabout studies identified at Main Street and Gabilan Drive and Orchard Lane and Metz Road are currently being evaluated by Kimley218 Horn as part of the City's Active Transportation Program (ATP) planning efforts. As a result, these studies do not need to be duplicated through the SRTS Participatory Budgeting Program.

The next two highest-ranked projects each received five votes and are recommended to be included in the revised SRTS Participatory Budgeting Project List. Staff have refined the proposed scopes to account for improvements and studies being completed through other City efforts. The revised projects are summarized below:

Project Name Project Description Votes Cost Estimate
"No U-Turn" Signage
and Roundabout

lot
5 $107,700.00
The project descriptions and preliminary cost estimates shown above reflect the information presented to the Participatory Budgeting Committee and are subject to refinement as design progresses.

Separate from the SRTS Participatory Budgeting Projects, TAMC and the City submitted an Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 8 grant application that includes more substantial improvements in the project area, including construction of a roundabout. Given the potential for these future improvements, the project team is evaluating less permanent and more cost-effective improvements at Vista de Soledad and Gabilan Drive to avoid investing in improvements that may later need to be removed or substantially modified.

This approach may also provide sufficient funding to address pedestrian safety at the uncontrolled intersection of Vista de Soledad and Franscioni Street. Potential improvements could include enhanced crosswalk treatments, pedestrian-activated warning lights, curb extensions, and other associated improvements. Because this location was not selected through the Participatory Budgeting Committee process, staff is seeking Council direction regarding whether it should be included as an additional project if funding remains after completion of the Committee-prioritized projects.

The revised priorities identified in Exhibit A include projects carried forward from the original participatory budgeting process, as well as new projects selected by the Committee in response to improvements that have since been completed, funded, or programmed through other City projects.

Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 6426, which would supersede Resolution No. 6020 and approve the revised SRTS Participatory Budgeting Project List. If approved, staff would authorize BKF Engineers to finalize the project scope and Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E), allowing the City to proceed with implementation while maintaining the project schedule.

Financial Considerations
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) has allocated up to $250,000 to the City of 219
Resolution No. 6426
Exhibit A - Participatory Project List
Soledad for implementation of projects selected through the Safe Routes to School Participatory Budgeting process.

On April 1, 2026, the City Council authorized a Consulting Services Agreement with MNS Engineers, now BKF Engineers, in an amount not to exceed $116,740 for preparation of the project plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E). The original design budget was developed based on preparation of a full PS&E package for the anticipated improvements.

As the project scope has been refined, staff and the design team have identified opportunities to streamline certain design efforts and deliverables where appropriate. This approach is intended to reduce design expenditures and maximize the amount of the $250,000 available for construction of community-selected improvements.

No City funds are proposed or required as part of this action. The project will be implemented within the existing $250,000 TAMC allocation.

Strategic Plan Alignment
This project is consistent with Objective 5.2 – Advance Vision Zero by Implementing the Safe Routes to School Plan and Other Safety Improvements. Specifically, the Strategic Plan identifies delivering funded projects through the Safe Routes to School Program.

Alternatives
Adopt the proposed Resolution; or
Do not adopt the proposed Resolution, this alternative is not recommended, as it would prevent staff from proceeding with the revised project scope and may affect the City's ability to implement the Participatory Budgeting projects within the required program schedule.

Planning/CEQA
The proposed project is categorically exempt under Section 15301, Class 1 – Existing Facilities; Section 15302, Class 2 – Replacement or Reconstruction; and Section 15303, Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Class 1 consists of minor alterations of existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use. Class 2 involves the replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities with negligible or no expansion of capacity. Class 3 consists of the construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures. The proposed improvements would occur within existing roadway rights-of-way and would result in no or negligible expansion of existing use or capacity.

Public Notice Requirements
None required.

PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING PROJECTS FOR THE $250,000 TRANSPORTATION

AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY (TAMC) ALLOCATION
WHEREAS, the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (“TAMC”), in partnership with the Monterey County Health Department, Ecology Action, and the South County cities, developed the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School (“SRTS”) Plan to identify barriers to safe and convenient access to schools and recommend infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements; and
WHEREAS, as part of the development of the SRTS Plan, a participatory budgeting process was conducted to allow community members to identify and prioritize projects for implementation using up to $250,000 allocated by TAMC to each participating city; and WHEREAS, on November 15, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6020 approving the projects selected through the Soledad Participatory Budgeting process and directing staff to proceed with implementation planning; and WHEREAS, during the project design process, City staff and the design team identified that several elements of the originally selected projects had already been completed or were anticipated to be completed through other City projects currently in construction or planning; and

WHEREAS, because the original improvements were selected through a communitydriven participatory budgeting process, City staff coordinated with TAMC regarding the appropriate path forward and determined that the Participatory Budgeting Committee should be provided an opportunity to reconsider the remaining project priorities; and WHEREAS, on May 27, 2026, the Participatory Budgeting Committee was provided with an update on the status of the selected projects and an opportunity to reconsider the remaining project priorities; and
WHEREAS, the Participatory Budgeting Committee identified two new priority projects for consideration, including “No U-Turn” Signage and Roundabout Study on Metz Road, and Pedestrian Improvements at Vista de Soledad and Gabilan Drive; and WHEREAS, City staff and the project team have also identified an opportunity to consider additional pedestrian improvements at the uncontrolled intersection of Vista de Soledad and Franscioni Street, including enhanced crosswalk treatments, pedestrian-activated warning lights, curb extensions, and other associated improvements should funding remain available after completion of the currently identified project locations through the participatory budgeting process; and
221
WHEREAS, the project will be implemented within the existing TAMC allocation of up to $250,000, and no City funds are proposed or required as part of this action; and WHEREAS, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301, 15302, and 15303 for Existing Facilities, Replacement or Reconstruction, and New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, respectively, as the proposed improvements would occur within existing roadway rights-of-way with no or negligible expansion of existing use or capacity.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Soledad that the revised Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Participatory Budgeting Project List, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, is hereby approved; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager, or designee, is authorized to take all necessary and appropriate actions to implement the approved projects within the existing TAMC funding allocation of up to $250,000, consistent with the terms and requirements of the funding program.

SUBJECT: City of Soledad Transactions and Use Tax Citizen Oversight Committee Appointments
TO: Honorable Mayor Velazquez and City Council
FROM: Mike Howard, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2026

CITY OF SOLEDAD

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

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Soledad take the following actions regarding appointments to the Transactions and Use Citizen Oversight Committee:

1. Accept the reappointment of Eugene Ivey by Councilmember Cabrera and Ramos Arroyo Jr. by Councilmember Banuelos for an additional one year term; and

2. Accept the new appointment of Stella Laurel by Mayor Velazquez and Maria Rusconi by Mayor Pro Tem Ansaldo-Sánchez for a one year term; and

3. Accept and approve the reappointment of Jana Swerengin and Lourdes Infante by Mayor Velazquez for an additional one year term.

Executive Summary
The City of Soledad’s Transactions and Use Tax (TUT) Citizen Oversight Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations on the use of revenues generated by Measures S and Y.

Previously, each measure had its own five and seven member oversight committee. However, due to persistent quorum challenges with the Measure S Committee, the City Council approved the consolidation of both into a single seven-member committee. With these appointments, six of seven seats will be filled, allowing the Committee to achieve a quorum and continue conducting official business. One seat will remain vacant until appointed.

Background
The City of Soledad Transactions and Use Tax Citizen Oversight Committee (TUT) was established by Resolution No. 6141, adopted by the City Council on August 7, 2024. This committee is responsible for reviewing and providing recommendations on the use of revenues generated from the City’s Measure S and Measure Y Transactions and Use Taxes.

The Mayor and City Council shall each annually appoint one member of the public to serve on the "TUT" Committee for a one-year term. Committee members will be eligible for reappointment by 234
Councilmembers for additional one-year terms as deemed appropriate by the appointor. The Mayor shall appoint two (2) additional Committee members to one-year terms, subject to City Council approval. The Council is encouraged to include amongst its appointments individuals who have specialized knowledge and agree to represent the Committee in one of the following areas: Senior Services, Animal Services, Childcare Services, and the Soledad Youth Council. However, appointments in these areas are discretionary, not mandatory, and appointments made without compliance with this recommendation shall still be accepted.

Review & Analysis
Currently, all seats are open for either reappointment or initial appointment. Four current members are seaking reappointment, leaving three vacant seats. Staff has received applications from two interested community members whose applications are included as an attachment to this staff report. The new candidates that have submitted applications to the City are: Maria Rusconi and Stella Laurel. Each brings valuable experience and a strong commitment to the community. Ms. Rusconi has extensive community leadership experience, having served as secretary for several local committees and currently serving on the Senior Community Committee and Cemetery Board. Ms. Laurel brings vast experience in education, leadership, and community-focused program coordination.

With the appointment of the two current applicants, and reappointment of the four current committee members, the City will have a quorum to conduct business of the Transactions and Use Tax Citizen Oversight Committee (TUT). This will leave one seat vacant for a council member to appoint at a later date.

The TUT Committee is charged with the review of expenditures of Measure S and Measure Y revenues to ensure the monies have been expended in accordance with the purposes authorized by said Measures.

Additional responsibilities include:

Act in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all matters pertaining to the Measures S and Y sales tax.

Provide oversight of the revenues and expenses pertaining to the portion of the sales tax generated by Measures S and Y.

Review the City’s annual independent audit report which will include the Measure S and Y tax revenue and expenditures.

Provide recommendations to the City Council on the use of Measure S and Y revenue.

Review of the City’s audit and its recommendations for expenditure of the revenue generated from the Measure S and Y taxes. The report shall be presented to the City Council at a public meeting and shall be a public record.

Financial Considerations
Members of the TUT Committee are volunteers, but notwithstanding, will receive a $50 stipend for each Committee meeting attended in recognition of the time and effort necessary to carry out Committee member duties. The cost of TUT committee members' attendance to meetings has already been established in the current fiscal year budget.

Strategic Plan Alignment
While the TUT Committee is not specifically identified in the Strategic Plan, its work supports Strategic Goal 10.2.2, “Increase transparency, open communication, and public access,” and Strategic 235
Application: Maria Rusconi
Application: Stella Laurel
Goal 10.5.1, “Maintain fiscal stability and responsible financial management.” The Committee helps educate members about how local government finances operate and provides them with an opportunity to participate in reviewing and guiding the use of sales tax revenues received through Measures S and Y.

Alternatives
Each Councilmember may select a representative to serve on the TUT Oversight Committee, with appointments presented to the City Council for acceptance. Two of the Mayor’s appointees were previously approved with the consent of the City Council and, as part of their reappointment, require Council consent again.

Planning/CEQA
The appointments to the Transactions and Use Tax Citizen Oversight Committee (TUT) is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a ministerial action.

Public Notice Requirements
None required.
