b

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-__ Amending the Citywide Salary Schedule to Establish Salary Ranges for the Firefighter Trainee and Firefighter-Paramedic Trainee Classifications

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs associated with the trainee program include hourly wages for trainees, potential fire academy tuition (for select candidates), uniforms and equipment. Funding will be absorbed within the Fire Department’s existing personnel budget, subject to position availability and hiring levels.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Public Safety and Sustainability and Stewardship.

BACKGROUND:

Recruitment for Firefighter Paramedic positions has been increasingly challenging due to a limited pool of candidates who possess both firefighting training and paramedic licensure.

While the City continues to receive qualified firefighter candidates, far fewer applicants meet the paramedic requirement.

To address this gap, the Fire Department and Human Resources have developed a trainee program designed to create a pipeline of qualified Firefighter Paramedics by supporting candidates at critical points in their training.

The proposed classifications formalize a structured, limited-term training pathway for individuals pursuing either:

Completion of a California State Fire Marshal-approved Fire Academy; or Completion of the final phase of an accredited paramedic training program.

STAFF REPORT:

The proposed Firefighter Trainee and Firefighter Paramedic Trainee classifications are intended to address ongoing recruitment challenges by creating a structured pathway for candidates to obtain the required training and certifications. This approach allows the City to invest in developing qualified candidates while maintaining flexibility to meet operational staffing needs.

The program is designed to mirror the City’s existing Police Officer Trainee program framework, which was established to support candidate development through a structured training pathway. Applying a similar model within the Fire Department provides a consistent approach to workforce development across public safety classifications and is intended to strengthen the City’s ability to recruit and develop qualified Firefighter Paramedic candidates.

15 Program Design
The proposed trainee program is structured to support two candidate groups:

Firefighter Trainee
Designed for individuals who have not yet completed a fire academy The City may sponsor enrollment in a six-month fire academy for selected candidates Candidates already enrolled may be hired but will not be reimbursed for prior academy costs

Firefighter Paramedic Trainee
Designed for individuals in the final six months of an accredited paramedic program Candidates must have completed didactic coursework and be in the clinical/field phase at time of hire

In both cases, trainees will:

Be appointed to a temporary, limited-term, at-will position for a duration of up to six (6) months Receive 40 hours per week of hourly pay while attending training Be required to maintain active enrollment in their respective programs as a condition of employment

Employment in these classifications is intended solely for the duration of the training program. As at- will, limited-term appointments, incumbents may be released at any time, and separation will occur upon completion of the program if not otherwise appointed to a regular position. Failure to maintain enrollment will result in separation without right of appeal, consistent with the trainee nature of the classification.

Compensation
The proposed hourly range is $28.63 – $30.06 per hour.

This range is approximately 10% below the Firefighter classification, reflecting trainee status while remaining competitive enough to attract candidates. The proposed compensation is also consistent with the salary structure currently established for Police Officer Trainees, ensuring alignment across public safety trainee classifications.

Benefits
Trainees will receive limited benefits consistent with temporary/part-time employment, including:

Paid sick leave in accordance with the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act Medical coverage as required under the Affordable Care Act (if eligible) Participation in CalPERS, if eligibility thresholds are met (over six months or 1,000 hours in a fiscal year)
Additional benefits are outlined in the City’s Temporary/Part-Time Employee Compensation and Benefit Plan.

The City will also provide:

Required uniforms and equipment
Fire academy tuition for trainees hired prior to enrollment The City will not reimburse paramedic program costs.

Internal Candidate Opportunity
Current City employees may participate in the trainee program by taking a leave of absence from their permanent position to pursue training in one of the new trainee classifications. During this period, 16 employees may:

Maintain CalPERS contributions
Retain medical benefits if enrolled in the City’s group health plan at the time of appointment

This program is intended to support internal career development while minimizing risk to current employees. In the event that a trainee successfully completes the required training but there are no vacancies available for appointment to the Firefighter or Firefighter Paramedic classification, the employee will have the ability to return to their former position, consistent with the terms of their approved leave of absence.

Advancement Opportunities
These classifications are flexibly staffed with:

Firefighter, and
Firefighter Paramedic

Advancement is contingent upon:

Successful completion of the fire academy or paramedic program Meeting minimum qualifications
Availability of positions
Approval by the Fire Chief

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026- __ Creating the Job Classifications of Firefighter Trainee and Firefighter-Paramedic Trainee and Authorizing the Firefighter and Firefighter-Paramedic Trainee Programs, Compensation and Benefits and Resolution No. 2026-__ Amending the Citywide Salary Schedule to Establish Salary Ranges for the Firefighter Trainee and Firefighter-Paramedic Trainee Classifications

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL

MEETING DATE:

May
5, 2026

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-___: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Existing Master Services Agreement with NHA Advisors, LLC to Update the Scope of Municipal and Financial Advisory Services and Approve the 2026 Hourly Rate Schedule.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for the services would be provided through the reimbursement agreement for the Suisun Expansion Project.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This action supports the City’s priorities related to fiscal sustainability, responsible growth, economic development, infrastructure planning, and organizational resiliency.

Updated municipal and financial advisory services will assist the City in evaluating complex financial, development, and annexation-related decisions in a manner that protects public resources and supports informed decision-making.

BACKGROUND:

The City currently has a Master Services Agreement with NHA Advisors, LLC for municipal and financial advisory services. NHA Advisors has served as a financial advisory partner to the City for more than two decades and has supported a range of matters including former redevelopment agency financial and project support, restructuring of the Civic Center obligation, infrastructure financing through the Suisun-Solano Water Authority, annual continuing disclosure reporting for the City, SSWA, and former RDA, long-term financial forecasting and modeling, economic development assessments, and ongoing advisory support to the City Manager’s Office and Finance Department.

On January 7, 2026, NHA Advisors provided correspondence outlining an updated scope of services and 2026 hourly rate schedule for continued municipal and financial advisory support. The update is intended to align NHA’s support with the City’s current and future needs related to long-term fiscal health, strategic growth, potential annexation opportunities, redevelopment of existing City parcels, infrastructure planning, and sustainable revenue strategies.

Because the City already has an existing Master Services Agreement with NHA Advisors, this action is not intended to establish a new vendor relationship. Rather, the proposed action updates the applicable scope and rate schedule under the existing agreement framework.

STAFF REPORT:

NHA Advisors’ updated scope focuses on the type of financial and strategic advisory support needed as the City evaluates complex development, redevelopment, infrastructure, and potential annexation-related issues. The City’s long-term financial position and service delivery obligations require careful analysis to ensure that future decisions protect the General Fund, provide measurable benefits to current residents, and identify sustainable funding sources for public services and infrastructure.

The updated scope may include, but is not limited to:
31 Long-term financial forecasting and modeling;
Fiscal impact analysis related to potential annexation opportunities around infrastructure or related governmental facilities;
Evaluation of potential tax-sharing implications with Solano County as part of any future annexation process;
Infrastructure financing strategies and capital funding plans; Cross-agency coordination and support for negotiations, project management, and stakeholder coordination;
Ongoing advisory support to the City Manager’s Office and Finance Department on an municipal finance
NHA Advisors specifically identifies tax-sharing negotiations with Solano County as a pivotal part of the LAFCO annexation process and recommends rigorous fiscal impact analysis to ensure the City does not assume an unsustainable long-term revenue burden. NHA Advisors also notes that future development and redevelopment efforts may require comprehensive infrastructure planning, long-term financial modeling, cross-agency coordination, and identification of sustainable revenue sources.

The 2026 hourly rate schedule provided by NHA Advisors is as follows:

Classification and 2026 Hourly Rate:

Principal - $370
Director / Senior Vice President - $345
Vice President - $320
Assistant Vice President / Senior Associate - $295
Associate - $270
Senior Analyst - $235
Analyst - $210
Administrative - $135
Approval of the amendment would allow the City to continue using NHA Advisors under the existing Master Services Agreement while updating the scope and rates to reflect current advisory needs. Work would be performed only as authorized by the City and within the approved not-to-exceed amount.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026- ___: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Existing Master Services Agreement with NHA Advisors, LLC to Update the Scope of Municipal and Financial Advisory Services and Approve the 2026 Hourly Rate Schedule

RE: City of Suisun City Municipal & Financial Advisory Services Provided By NHA Advisors, LLC Bret,

Happy New Year! I appreciated our conversation last month and your vision for the City’s key initiatives in 2026 and beyond. Your focus on positioning Suisun City for long- term fiscal health, strategic growth, and potential annexation opportunities aligns directly with the expertise and advisory services NHA Advisors provides. For more than two decades, NHA Advisors has supported the City on a range of important initiatives, including:

 Financial and project support for the former redevelopment agency  Restructuring the Civic Center obligation and evaluating General Fund impacts  Infrastructure financing through the Suisun-Solano Water Authority (SSWA)  Annual continuing disclosure reporting for the City, SSWA, and former RDA  Long-term financial forecasting and modeling
 Economic Development Assessments (hotel, marina, etc.)  Ongoing advisory support to the City Manager’s office and Finance Department

This long- standing relationship gives us a unique understanding of Suisun’s fiscal structure, service needs, and development constraints.

NHA Advisors works with California public agencies to design sustainable, transparent, and community-oriented financial solutions. Our work centers on helping cities manage growth by:

 Developing balanced capital funding
plans
 Structuring policies that support
long-term financial stability
 Evaluating the fiscal impacts of
development and major infrastructure
programs
 Serving as an extension of staff during
negotiations, project management,
and stakeholder coordination

Our approach always prioritizes measurable benefits to current and future residents— enhancing public safety, recreation, amenities, and the overall quality of life. 36 CITY OF SUISUN CITY MUNICIPAL & FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES PROVIDED BY NHA

NHA Advisors has decades of experience working with communities throughout California to develop balanced funding plans and strategies to protect utility users and taxpayers (both current and future).

This includes assisting in the development of financial policies that will guide the decision-making process for both funding strategies and reserve levels to ensure sufficient resources for future capital needs.

NHA Advisors understands that there must be a positive benefit to current residents of the City and that any future development will enhance their level of service, amenities or economic development benefits.

This not only includes public safety levels bu t also park and recreation programs, libraries and other entertainment benefits for the community.

Key Considerations for Suisun City’s Development Path
As we discussed, tax -sharing negotiations with Solano County will be a pivotal part of the LAFCO annexation process. A rigorous fiscal impact analysis is essential to ensure the City does not assume an unsustainable long-term revenue burden.

If a tax-sharing agreement requires concessions that weaken the City’s General Fund, NHA Advisors can evaluate and develop financial tools (such as a special tax overlay through a Mello-Roos CFD) to create a stable revenue stream for City services.

We also recognize that both the redevelopment of existing City parcels and any potential annexation of unincorporated areas, including areas influenced by California Forever, will require:

 Comprehensive infrastructure planning
 Long-term financial modeling
 Cross-agency coordination
 Identification of sustainable revenue sources

NHA has supported many cities through similar planning, entitlement, and negotiation processes. These prior projects can serve as an education for Suisun City when evaluating development potential and future service demands.

Funding & Entitlement Strategy Support
Large-scale greenfield development benefits from a streamlined, unified strategy. With limited major stakeholders, the City can establish a financing framework that blends:

 Developer equity
 Revenues generated by future residents or property owners  Fees and charges for public services
 Long-term debt instruments backed by special taxes, assessments, utility revenues, or other secure sources

California’s entitlement environment is challenging. The good news , recent legal and policy shifts are creating opportunities to modernize or accelerate development timelines. NHA Advisors can assist the City throughout this process (including LAFCO coordination, partner agency negotiations, evaluation of legislative pathways, polling and communications support, and targeted engagement of subject -matter experts).

Professional Services Structure
NHA Advisors provides services under a professional services agreement, allowing the City to scale consulting needs and maintain full control of resources. We can work within your existing agreement template or can prepare a scope and agreement for your review.

BACKGROUND:

Each quarter it is necessary to produce an Investment Report showing how all City, Housing Authority, Successor Agency and Suisun-Solano Water Authority’s available cash is invested, in terms of the type of investment, what institution it is invested in, and current value and interest earnings.

STAFF REPORT:

The total cash and investment portfolio book value (cost) held by the City as of March 31, 2026 was $39,261,337.

At the end of this quarter, the Weighted Average Maturity of the Managed Investment Portfolio was 39 2.55 years.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets approximately every six weeks and determines the level of the Federal Funds Rate. At the March 18th meeting, the FOMC voted to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent.

Finance staff hired Optimized Investment Partners in May 2024 to help improve the investment returns for the city and to ensure compliance with California Government Code by ensuring safety of principal and sufficient liquidity for operations. Ongoing portfolio management activity will continue to be performed in partnership with Optimized Investment Partners, the City Manager, the Finance Director and the Finance Manager.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
:

Staff has reviewed the decision
contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code § 87100, et seq.).

Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council/Authority accept the Quarter Ending March 31, 2026, Financial Officer’s Investment Report.

11 ECONOMIC SUMMARY
The economic market summary for Q1 2026 indicates a continued slowdown in economic conditions, with key indicators reflecting below-trend growth. The unemployment rate remained relatively steady at approximately 4.3%, while GDP growth slowed further to 0.5% annualized, reflecting cautious consumer activity and softer business investment. In response to mixed economic signals and moderating inflation, the Federal Reserve maintained a pause in policy, holding the federal funds rate steady at 3.50% to

3.75% following prior cuts, while reiterating a data- dependent approach amid uncertainty. Treasury yields increased during the quarter, with the 5-year yield rising to 3.92% and the 2-year yield to 3.79%, reflecting a modest flattening of the yield curve.

ECONOMIC MARKET UPDATE:

UNEMPLOYMENT: The unemployment rate remained relatively stable, despite ongoing signs of gradual softening. • Q1 2026: 4.3% (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
• Q4 2025: 4.4% (The Fred, revised)
GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP): Economic growth slowed further in early 2026, with below-trend expansion reflecting cautious consumer activity and softer business investment. • Q1 2026: 0.5% annualized growth (The Conference Board) • Q4 2025: 1.2% annualized growth (The Conference Board, revised) FEDERAL FUNDS EFFECTIVE RATE: At the March 18, 2026, FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds target range to 3.50%–3.75%, reflecting a pause following rate cuts in late 2025 and a continued data- dependent stance.
• Q1 2026: Federal funds rate maintained at a range of 3.50% to 3.75% (Federal Reserve, FOMC Statement) • Q4 2025: Federal funds rate lowered at a range of 3.50% to 3.75% (Federal Reserve, FOMC Statement) TREASURY YIELDS: Treasury yields increased during the quarter, with short-term yields rising more than intermediate-term yields, reflecting a modest flattening of the yield curve. • Q1 2026: 5-year Treasury yield at 3.92%, 2-year Treasury yield at 3.79% (U.S. Department of the Treasury) • Q4 2025: 5-year Treasury yield at 3.73%, 2-year Treasury yield at 3.47% (U.S. Department of the Treasury) 51 The City of Suisun City: Investment Report for The Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

12 MOST RECENT FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC) MEETING SUMMARY: (Federal Reserve) At the March 18th meeting, the FOMC voted to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3‑1/2 to 3‑3/4 percent.

"Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has been little changed in recent months. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The implications of developments in the Middle East for the U.S. economy are uncertain. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate.

In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3 ‑1/2 to 3‑3/4 percent. In
considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee wil l carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.

In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.

Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W .

Bowman; Lisa D. Cook; Beth M. Hammack; Philip N. Jefferson; Neel Kashkari; Lorie K. Logan; Anna Paulson; and Christopher J. Waller. Voting against this action was Stephen I. Miran, who preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point at this meeting.”

58 AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL

MEETING DATE:

May
5, 2026

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-___: Establishing an Ad Hoc Committee of the City Council to Provide Ongoing Policy Guidance to Staff and Legal Counsel in the Negotiation of a Development Agreement between the City of Suisun City and California Forever for the Suisun City Expansion Exploration.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund from the formation of the Ad Hoc Committee. Staff and associated costs with the negotiation of a Development Agreement are already contemplated within the existing Reimbursement Agreement between the City and California Forever LP, dated June 12, 2025 (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), which obligates California Forever to reimburse all reasonable City costs incurred in connection with the CEQA, annexation, and entitlement processes, including Development Agreement negotiation

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance. Advance Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability.

BACKGROUND:

A Development Agreement under California Government Code §§65864 through 65869.5 is a legislative contract between a local agency and a property owner or developer that vests specified development rights in exchange for defined public benefits, phasing, infrastructure commitments, and other negotiated terms. Development Agreements are adopted by ordinance after a noticed public hearing and are among the most consequential land use instruments available to a city, as they bind the parties for an agreed term and shape the fiscal, infrastructure, and community outcomes of a project for decades.

The Suisun City Expansion is a approximately 17,500-acre, multi-decade project proposed by California Forever. The project is currently advancing through two parallel tracks: environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, which will produce a full Environmental Impact Report , and negotiation of a proposed Development Agreement that will memorialize the terms and commitments of the project. Both tracks are required to bring the full package forward for Council consideration.

On June 12, 2025, the City and California Forever LP executed a Reimbursement Agreement establishing terms for the City’s processing of the CEQA, annexation, and entitlement applications, including the Developer’s obligation to reimburse all reasonable City costs. The Reimbursement Agreement also establishes baseline shared goals to be incorporated into the Development Agreement:
fiscal neutrality (the project must produce a net tax surplus); engagement of a third-party fiscal consulting firm to prepare a publicly available fiscal impact report; Travis AFB protection commitments; and the Developer’s agreement to pay the City $3,500,000 within thirty (30) days of EIR certification and DA execution as an initial public benefit payment. The Reimbursement Agreement does not commit the City to approving the annexation or the Project. The exclusivity period is currently in effect, subject to the Developer’s timely renewal confirmations per Section 3(b) of that Agreement.

As Council is aware, the EIR and the Development Agreement are distinct work streams, both relevant 59 to the Council’s ultimate consideration whether to approve the project. An EIR is legally required prior to any project approval and analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project and identifies mitigation measures and alternatives to mitigate any such impacts. A Development Agreement is a voluntary, negotiated agreement that memorializes additional measures, such as business terms, phasing, financing, public benefits, performance standards, and enforcement mechanisms between the City and the applicant. Both will be presented to Council for consideration at the same time.

STAFF REPORT:

Development Agreements of the size, complexity, and duration contemplated for the Suisun City Expansion are not negotiated in a matter of weeks. Based on comparable precedent in California, including large master planned community agreements typically requires between six to eight months of sustained, iterative work. That timeline assumes a fully staffed negotiating team, a defined project description, and consistent, timely policy direction from the legislative body's representatives.

Over the course of a negotiation at this scale, the City's negotiating team, consisting of the City Manager, legal team, Deputy City Manager, and supporting staff and consultants, will work through dozens of substantive issues. These may include, without limitation: phasing and performance milestones; infrastructure financing and delivery; water supply and utility commitments; transportation and mobility obligations; affordable housing and inclusionary requirements; public safety service delivery and fiscal neutrality; park, open space, and community benefit contributions; fee structures and credits; default and remedy provisions; term and vesting provisions; assignment and successor obligations; and alignment with the EIR mitigation monitoring and reporting program.

Each of these topics will generate multiple drafts, counterproposals, and policy decisions that must be resolved quickly to keep the negotiation on pace. It is not operationally feasible, and would significantly delay the project, to return to the full Council for every decision that requires policy guidance during a negotiation of this length and complexity. At the same time, it is essential that the City's negotiating position reflect the policy direction of elected leadership rather than the preferences of staff acting alone.

For these reasons, staff recommends that the City Council establish a two-member Ad Hoc Committee, consisting of the Mayor and one additional Councilmember appointed by the Mayor, to provide ongoing policy guidance to staff and legal counsel throughout the Development Agreement negotiation.

The Ad Hoc Committee would be expected to meet with staff and legal counsel on a regular cadence and at certain points in the negotiation to review drafts, provide direction on open issues, and ensure that the City's negotiating posture remains aligned with Council priorities and community interests.

The Ad Hoc Committee is advisory. It will not take formal action on behalf of the City and will not approve any term of the Development Agreement. Final approval of the Development Agreement, by ordinance after public hearing, will remain with the full City Council. At key milestones throughout the negotiation, staff and the Ad Hoc Committee will return to the full Council for check-ins to report progress, confirm policy direction on major issues, and receive further guidance. This structure preserves the full Council's ultimate authority while providing staff and legal counsel with the responsive, continuous policy guidance that a negotiation of this scale requires.

The use of an ad hoc committee for this purpose is consistent with long-standing Brown Act practice.

Under Government Code §54952(b), a temporary committee composed of fewer than a quorum of the legislative body and limited to a specific subject matter is not a standing committee and is not itself 60 subject to the Brown Act's notice requirements. The Ad Hoc Committee contemplated here is expressly limited in membership (two members), scope (support for Development Agreement negotiations), and duration (dissolving upon final Council action on the Development Agreement or upon earlier direction of the Council).

Staff notes that the Environmental Impact Report for the Suisun City Expansion will continue to proceed under its own statutory track. The Ad Hoc Committee's role is limited to supporting the negotiation of the Development Agreement, a separate and parallel instrument

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026- ___:Establishing an Ad Hoc Committee of the City Council to Provide Ongoing Policy Guidance to Staff and Legal Counsel in the Negotiation of a Development Agreement between the City of Suisun City and California Forever for the Suisun City Expansion Exploration.

ONGOING POLICY GUIDANCE TO STAFF AND LEGAL COUNSEL IN THE

NEGOTIATION OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF

SUISUN CITY AND CALIFORNIA FOREVER FOR THE SUISUN CITY EXPANSION

EXPLORATION
WHEREAS, the City of Suisun City is exploring a potential multi-decade, approximately 17,500-acre expansion project in partnership with California Forever, known as the Suisun City Expansion Exploration; and
WHEREAS, the project is currently advancing on two parallel, interdependent tracks:
environmental review under the California Environmental Qualit y Act, and the negotiation of a Development Agreement under California Government Code §§65864 through 65869.5; and WHEREAS, a Development Agreement is a legislative contract that establishes the business terms, phasing, infrastructure delivery, public ben efits, and enforcement mechanisms of a project of this scale, and is ultimately adopted by ordinance after a noticed public hearing; and WHEREAS, negotiation of a Development Agreement of the size, scope, and complexity contemplated for the Suisun City Exp ansion Exploration is expected to require between six and eight months of sustained, iterative work by staff, legal counsel, and the applicant; and WHEREAS, during a negotiation of this scale, numerous policy decisions arise that require timely direction from the City Council, and it is not operationally feasible to return to the full Council in open session for every such decision without materially delaying the negotiation; and
WHEREAS, the formation of an Ad Hoc Committee of two members of the City Council to provide ongoing policy guidance to staff and legal counsel will allow the negotiation to proceed on an efficient and responsive timeline while preserving the full City Council's ultimate authority to consider and approve any final Development Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Ad Hoc Committee will be advisory in nature, will take no formal action on behalf of the City, will not approve any term of the Development Agreement, and will be limited in membership, scope, and duration consistent with Government Code §54952(b); and WHEREAS, staff and the Ad Hoc Committee will return to the full City Council at key milestones throughout the negotiation for public check ins to report progress, confirm policy direction, and receive further guidance; and
WHEREAS, the formation of this Ad Hoc Committee does not alter, accelerate, or abbreviate the Environmental Impact Report process for the Suisun City Expansion Exploration, which will proceed on its own statutory track with full public scoping, Draft EIR review, and responses to all substantive comments.

62 Resolution No. 2026-
Adopted May 5, 2026

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

1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

2. An Ad Hoc Committee of the City Council is hereby established for the purpose of providing ongoing policy guidance to City staff and legal counsel in the negotiation of a Development Agreement between the City of Suisun City and California Forever for the Suisun City Expansion Exploration.

3. The Ad Hoc Committee shall consist of two members of the City Council: the Mayor, and one additional Councilmember appointed by the Mayor.

4. The Ad Hoc Committee shall meet with staff and legal counsel on a regular cadence as needed, which may be as frequent as weekly or more frequently at certain points in the negotiation, for the purpose of reviewing drafts, providing direction on open issues, and ensuring the City's negotiating posture reflects the policy direction of the City Council.

5. The Ad Hoc Committee is advisory only. It shall take no formal action on behalf of the City of Suisun City, shall not approve any term of the Development Agreement, and shall have no authority to bind the City. Final approval of any Development Agreement shal l remain with the full City Council by ordinance following a noticed public hearing.

6. Staff and the Ad Hoc Committee shall return to the full City Council at key milestones throughout the negotiation for public check-ins to report progress, confirm po licy direction, and receive further guidance.

7. The Ad Hoc Committee is temporary in nature and limited in subject matter and is therefore not a standing committee subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act pursuant to Government Code §54952(b). The Ad Hoc Committee shall automatically dissolve upon final City Council action on the Development Agreement, or upon earlier direction of the City Council.

PASSED AND ADOPTED at a Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Suisun City held on the 5th day of May 2026 by the following vote:

AYES: Councilmembers:
