4 HR1 & Indigent Care7
History and Requirements for Indigent Care ⏷The 1991 Realignment agreement shifted responsibility for health, mental health, and social services costs from the state to counties. ⏷Realignment is funded through a share of state sales tax and Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenue⏷Counties also rely on general funds, Medi-Cal reimbursement, and other funds to support indigent care. ⏷Under WIC §17000, counties are responsible for ensuring access to medically necessary care for indigent residents who have no other means of support or coverage.⏷Counties may meet this obligation through clinics, provider contracts, CMSP, or other local indigent care programs.⏷Indigent means a person is poor or financially unable to pay for medically necessary care or basic needs- not just uninsured.8 7 8
10 7/2/2026
5 History and Requirements for Indigent Care ⏷Solano County is one of 35 counties that provide indigent care through the County Medical Services Program (CMSP). ⏷Through the CMSP Governing Board, participating counties set eligibility rules, benefit levels, enrollment procedures, fees, and provider payment rates. ⏷CMSP serves as the payer of last resort, requiring individuals to use all other available options, including Medi-Cal, before receiving CMSP services. ⏷Enrollment in CMSP declined significantly after the Affordable Care Act expanded Medi-Cal coverage. ⏷Enrollment is expected to increase under HR1, shifting more individuals back into county indigent care programs. 10 CMSP Proposed Changes for January 2027(Pending Public Hearing) 10 Proposed Eligibility Changes Proposed Benefit Changes •Reduce the upper income limit for eligibility from 300% to 200% FPL•Reinstate asset limits for applicants and increase from $2,000 individual/$3,000 couple to $10,000 individual/$20,000 couple •Reinstate full monthly Share of Cost with no reduction•Establish no SOC for CMSP applicants up to 100% FPL •Retain a six-month enrollment term for all CMSP members •Reinstate the requirement for CMSP applicants to apply for Covered California during its open enrollment period. •Retain full-scope coverage for legal resident members •Restrict coverage for undocumented members to Emergency Services only •Reinstate the monthly Share of Cost for Primary Care services•Discontinue coverage for Chiropractic Services •Discontinue coverage for outpatient Substance Use Disorder Treatment and mental health services. •Discontinue coverage for vision, audiology, and selective dental services 9 10
11 7/2/2026
6 Possible Impacts to Services, Community Health Centers (FQHCs), and Hospitals⏷Prior to the Affordable Care Act thousands of uninsured clients visited the Health Centers & hospitals in Solano County. ⏷After the passage of the ACA, the number of uninsured declined to hundreds ⏷With the enactment of HR 1, the number of uninsured clients will increase over time, starting in 2027 and increasing in subsequent years.⏷Health Centers have a sliding scale for uninsured clients. In County clinics, clients with incomes more than 200% of the FPL pay full fee. Infrastructure is needed to bill and collect fees. ⏷Uninsured people avoid going to the clinic/hospital for preventive care or at the onset of a health issue. They will show up when they are very ill and the care is very costly.⏷Lower revenue generation from billing What This Means For Solano CountyIncreased administrative burden without additional funding to support the workloadShift of responsibility for CalFresh administrative costs to the county and a reduction of federal funding available for Medi-Cal emergency services for certain enrolleesIncrease in county costs for indigent medical care (CMSP) participation and costs related to the loss of health care coveragePotential rise in food insecurity and uninsured ratesNeed for strong cross-departmental and cross-community coordination Importance of proactive outreach, education efforts, and overall system readinessGreater demand for employment, volunteer, and community service opportunities for clients Risk of lost reimbursement for health care providers and community clinics, as individuals who lose coverage may be unable to pay for services Projections of how HR1’s Medi-Cal work requirements could impact CMSP enrollment range from 18,000 to 30,000 individuals. This projection far exceeds CMSP pre-ACA enrollment of 8,936. 11 12

7 How Can You Help ?Spread the word!The more our mutual clients understand the rules governing HR1, the better equipped they are to stay in compliance. Provide opportunities for clients who need employment, volunteer roles, or community service placements to help them meet program requirements.
Remind our mutual clients of timely renewal requirements so they can maintain their benefits. Identify clients who may qualify for an exemption to the work and community engagement requirements, and when possible, assist them with completing the necessary documentation.
Encourage clients to keep their address and contact information up to date with us. Assist clients with questions, completing renewal forms, and help them understand what exemptions are.13 13 Solano County Health & Social Services

Medi-Cal Changes Fact Sheet
Beginning 2026
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program. It covers a variety of medical services for children and adults with limited income.
Asset Limits for Older Adults and People with Disabilities Starting January 1, 2026, when you apply for or renew your Medi-Cal, we will look at what you own.
This is called an asset check. Assets are things you own that have value.
You may be affected if you:
• Are age 65 and older and meet the household income limit for Medi-Cal. • Have a disability (physical, mental, or developmental). • Live in a nursing home.
• Are in a family that makes too much money to qualify under federal tax rules.
Important To Know:
• The most you can own (asset limit) is $130,000 for one person. o You can add $65,000 for every extra person in your family. The maximum number is 10 people. • Assets that don't count include:
o The home you live in
o One Vehicle

Enrollment Freeze for Adult Immigrants

You may be affected if:
• You are undocumented (you live in the U.S. without legal permission), or • You are a lawfully present immigrant who is 21 or older and not pregnant Important To Know:
• If you already have Medi-Cal, you can stay covered no matter your immigration status • To keep your Medi-Cal, you must:
o Fill out your renewal form every year & still meet the Medi-Cal rules • If your Medi-Cal ends, you have 90 days to fix the problem and keep your coverage. If you miss that 90-day window, you won’t be able to get full-scope Medi-Cal again. You can only apply for restricted Medi-Cal, which covers:
o Emergency care
o Pregnancy-related care
o Nursing home care
Dental Coverage for Adult Immigrants
Starting July 1, 2026, some Medi-Cal members will stop getting full-scope dental services as part of their coverage due to changes in state law.
This change affects Medi-Cal members who are:
• Age 19 or older, and
• Are not pregnant or postpartum, and
• Are lawfully present immigrants who:
o Have had a Green Card for less than five years and are not exempt from the five-year waiting period.

Important To Know:
• Emergency Dental Care (such as treatments for severe pain or infection and tooth extractions) will still be covered for everyone, no matter their immigration status. • If you are pregnant, you will continue to receive full dental benefits during pregnancy and up to 1 year after the pregnancy ends.
Monthly Premiums for Adult Immigrants
Starting July 1, 2027, some Medi-Cal members will need to pay a small monthly fee (called a premium) to keep their full-scope Medi-Cal.
This Applies To:
• Californians who are between 19 and 59 years old, and • Are not pregnant, and
• Are lawfully present immigrants and:
o Have had a Green Card for less than 5 years and don’t qualify for an exception o Are classified as PRUCOL (Permanently Residing Under Color of Law – a type of immigration status that allows you to stay in the U.S. but doesn’t qualify for full federal benefits) o Qualify through a state-funded or humanitarian program (like for victims of trafficking or crime) o Have another immigration status that does not qualify for full Medi-Cal under federal rules Important To Know:
• If this change applies to you, you will need to pay a small fee each month to keep your full Medi-Cal. • If you don’t pay, your Medi-Cal will change. You will only get restricted Medi-Cal, which covers:
o Emergency care
o Pregnancy-related care
o Nursing home care

AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-___: Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Construction Contract on the City’s Behalf with Quimu Contracting, Inc. for the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon and Fire Station Advance Warning System Upgrade Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no fiscal impact on the General Fund from awarding the construction contract for the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon and Fire Station Advance Warning System Upgrade Project (Project), Project No. HSIPSL-5032(041). Construction funds will come from the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 12 grant in the amount of $313,920 and from the Off-site Street Improvement Program (OSSIP) fund in the amount of $34,880 for a total construction budget of $348,800.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Public Safety and Community Appeal.
BACKGROUND:
On February 21, 2025, the City was awarded a total of $349,920 in HSIP Cycle 12 grant funds to support the design and construction of the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon and Fire Station Advance Warning System Upgrade Project.
As required by the HSIP grant guidelines, the City is responsible for covering any amount that exceeds the awarded grant and must provide a minimum local match of 10% of the total project cost. The City will meet these obligations using Off-Site Street Improvement Program (OSSIP) funds, which will cover any additional costs beyond the grant award and the required minimum 10% local match.
On July 15, 2025, the City authorized the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement on the City’s behalf with Sanbell for the Project. Sanbell completed the plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E, aka construction documents).
STAFF REPORT:
The Notice to Contractors for the Project was published in the Daily Republic newspaper on May 10, 2026, with a second advertisement on May 17, 2026. Additionally, the bid package and construction documents were posted on the City’s OpenGov platform on May 17, 2026.
Bid opening took place on June 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM at which time seven bids were received and publicly read aloud. The details of the bids received can be found in the attached bid summary table.
The bid submitted by Quimu Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $287,648.00 represents the lowest bid received and was determined by staff to be a responsive bid.
The Project overview is as follows:
1) Installation of Pedestrian Safety Improvements on Pintail Drive at Crane Drive This location fronts Goepp Park and Dan O. Root Elementary School. Improvements will include Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), curb extensions, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps, high-visibility crosswalk, striping and warning signage.
19 Pintail Drive is a major collector road and a well-traveled route for students walking or biking to school. The intersection at Crane Drive has been identified by the Safe Routes to School Task Force as a priority location for safety enhancements due to its proximity to the school and the volume of pedestrian activity. Nearby residents have also expressed concerns about safety at this crossing.
The proposed upgrades will also complement the recently installed RRFBs in front of Dan O. Root Elementary School on Harrier Drive, just north of Osprey Way.
2) Upgrade of Fire Station Advance Warning System on Pintail Drive The second improvement is at the Suisun City Fire Station, also located on Pintail Drive, which is a designated Safe Route to School for students attending the nearby Suisun Elementary School. The fire station requires an upgraded emergency warning system to increase motorists awareness, and to ensure safe and timely responses during emergencies. Improvements will include replacing the warning beacons with larger warning beacons to improve visibility, including backplates with perimeter yellow strips; installing warning beacons in the curved segment of Pintail Drive located west of the fire station; and installing warning beacons on mast arms, including warning beacons facing the cross streets of E.
Wigeon Way and Cackling Drive.
Currently, the station’s warning devices activate to alert motorists when emergency vehicles are exiting onto Pintail Drive. The devices are also activated when the fire equipment return to the station and backup into the parking bays. However, recent observations indicate that some motorists and pedestrians are not yielding appropriately, posing safety risks. The proposed upgrades will significantly improve visibility and reliability of the fire station's warning system, helping to ensure that both motorists and pedestrians respond appropriately. This will enhance safety for emergency responders as well as the surrounding community, especially schoolchildren traveling along this designated safe route.
Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to Quimu Contracting, Inc. for the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon and Fire Station Advance Warning System Upgrade Project in the amount of $287,648.00, including a contingency for the balance of the budget ($61,152.00) to cover unforeseen conditions and additional work deemed beneficial by the Public Works Director, for a maximum total contract amount of $348,800.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that council adopt Resolution No. 2026-___:

MEETING DATE:

7, 2026
AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-___: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a First Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with Planwest Partners Inc. to Complete a Municipal Services Review (MSR) and to Provide Annexation Related Services for the Suisun Logistics Center and Highway 12 Logistics Center Projects and Determining that the Action is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Due to this budget amendment, there would be no fiscal impact on the General Fund. The total cost for retaining Planwest Partners Inc. to prepare the Municipal Services Review and complete the annexation-related services will be fully borne by the developer/applicant. Payments to the consultant are only made when funds are deposited by the developer.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Public Safety; Community Appeal; Sustainability and Stewardship; and Community Vibrancy.
BACKGROUND:
On December 20, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-157 authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with consulting firm Planwest Partners Inc. (Planwest) to complete a Municipal Services Review (MSR) for the Suisun Logistics (located east of Walters Road between Peterson Road and Highway 12) and Highway 12 Logistics Center (located at the southwest corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Highway 12) project’s totaling $55,000.00.
Following execution of the original contract on January 23, 2023, the MSR was drafted and sent for review to Solano County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). In addition, there were other unforeseen delays in both projects causing additional review to be needed. As a result, Planwest is requesting additional funds to address comments from LAFCo and complete the MSR.
STAFF REPORT:
Since the initial contract approval, the Applicant and consultant have been working with staff to complete the required MSR. Work to date has included coordination with the city and preparation of a draft MSR, including addressing comments from the City and LAFCo.
After assessing the remaining tasks and comments from LAFCo on the latest round of review, Planwest is seeking an additional $32,079.00 to augment the budget to ensure adequate funding is available for completion of the MSR, which includes an additional $8,913 already expended, therefore, exceeding the existing contract amount, as well as an additional $23,166.00 for additional tasks related to completing the MSR.
If approved, the recommended budget augmentation of $32,079.00 would increase the total contract amount to $87,079.00. Again, this cost is fully borne by the Applicant, and no general funds are used for the preparation of the MSR.
Environmental Review
The Development Services Director has determined that the recommended action of approving the 27 contract modification is not a "project" pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 since it does not result in a physical change in the environment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026- ___: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a First Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with Planwest Partners Inc. to Continue Preparation of a Municipal Services Review (MSR) and to Provide Annexation Related Services for the Suisun Logistics Center and Highway 12 Logistics Center Projects and Determining that the Action is Exempt from the California Environmental Qulity Act (CEQA).

AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-___: Approving the Debt Service Rate for the North Bay Aqueduct Bond Issue for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed rate for FY 2026-27 to make the debt service payments for the North Bay Aqueduct (NBA) is 0.002130 per $100 of Assessed Value. As indicated in the attached table and chart, the NBA levy would go down by $0.0001360 per $100 or a decrease by about $0.68 per year on a home with an Assessed Value of $500,000.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance and Ensure Fiscal Solvency.
BACKGROUND:
On October 22, 1985, the City of Suisun City entered into an agreement with the Solano County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for the purpose of obtaining an additional water supply up to a maximum of 1,300 acre-feet per annum from the State’s North Bay Aqueduct project.
Under the agreement, the City is required to make annual payments to the District for the District’s costs associated with wheeling that water until the agreement matures in July 1, 2036. City is obligated to make these interest-free payments to District by levying a zone of benefit property tax.
STAFF REPORT:
Each year the City Council is required to establish the ad valorem property tax rates to be levied on the properties that benefit from the voter-approved bond issues for the acquisition of water from the North Bay Aqueduct. These tax proceeds are used to make annual debt service payment.
Staff uses the Preliminary 2026-2027 Assessed Valuations Estimates provided by Solano County to calculate the levy, because the actual assessed valuations are not available in time to meet legal deadlines for submitting the tax rate to the County. There is an inverse relationship between the assessed values and the tax rates needed to generate the funds necessary to make the annual bond payments. In other words, when assessed values (AVs) go up, the tax rate will go down while still generating the needed revenue. When AVs go down, the tax levy must go up in order to generate the amount needed for bond payments. In the fiscal year 2026-27, an increase in assessed values (AVs) initially led to a lower tax rate.

AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-___: Approving Additional Professional Services with Apex Technology Management, LLC for a Backup and Disaster Recovery Appliance, Cloud Backup Services, and Migration of Remote Access VPN Services to the Timus Platform.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the General Fund. The two proposals carry a combined one- time cost of $34,632.08 and a combined new monthly recurring cost of $6,762.50 (approximately $81,150 annually), to be charged to the Network Maintenance Internal Service Fund, Account No. 710- 3320-91305 (Software). These costs are anticipated to be accommodated within the existing adopted budget for that account, with no additional appropriation required at this time. A breakdown of costs is provided in the Staff Report section below.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Ensure a resilient and secure City infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:
On August 19, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Apex Technology Management, LLC (“Apex”) to provide co-managed Information Technology support services to the City of Suisun City. As part of this ongoing relationship, Apex has identified two additional projects necessary to strengthen the City's data protection and remote access security posture: (1) deployment of a dedicated on-site Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) appliance with cloud backup services, and (2) migration of the City's remote access VPN services from the City's legacy SonicWall SSLVPN solution to the Timus secure access platform.
Both projects are proposed as one-time projects with associated ongoing monthly subscription costs, consistent with Apex's Total Support Agreement, which specifies that new hardware/software deployments, projects, and monthly subscription or cloud service charges (e.g., cloud backups, VPN licensing) are billed separately from the base monthly support fee
STAFF REPORT:
Digital Umbrella Backup and Disaster Recovery (Quote No. APXQ32646, dated 2/1/2026)
This project will deploy a dedicated on-site backup appliance (refurbished Dell PowerEdge R750, 48TB usable space, 3-year hardware warranty) paired with Apex's Digital Umbrella
3.0 cloud backup service, providing local and cloud-based backup, monitoring/alerting, and failover/disaster recovery protection for the City's server environment. The proposal includes:
Products (backup server and networking cables): $20,199.84 Professional Services (staging, onsite installation, configuration, and documentation), net of Total Support Agreement labor discount, plus travel: $7,188.00 Shipping & Handling: $27.50
One-time Subtotal: $27,415.34; Tax (9.125%): $1,845.74; One-Time Total: $29,261.08 Digital Umbrella 3.0 On-site & Cloud Backup Service (Monthly, 47TB cloud storage included):
$5,937.50/month
Timus VPN Migration (Quote No. APXQ32987, dated 4/6/2026) This project will migrate the City's
remote access VPN services from the legacy SonicWall SSLVPN solution to the Timus secure access 37 platform for fifty-five (55) named users, including identity integration with Office 365/Entra ID, endpoint deployment, cutover, and decommissioning of the legacy VPN. The proposal includes:
Products (55 Timus Connect VPN licenses): $825.00
Professional Services (platform build, identity integration, endpoint deployment, validation, and decommissioning), net of Total Support Agreement labor discount: $4,546.00 One-Time Total: $5,371.00
Timus Connect VPN Solution (Monthly, 55 licenses): $825.00/month Combined Cost Summary
Combined One-Time Cost: $34,632.08
Combined New Monthly Recurring Cost: $6,762.50 (approximately $81,150.00 annually) Both proposals were prepared by Apex under the City's existing Total Support Agreement and reflect the Active Total Support Agreement labor discount. Staff recommends proceeding with both projects to improve the reliability of the City's backup and disaster recovery capabilities and to enhance the security of the City's remote access infrastructure
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026- ___ Approving Additional Professional Services with Apex Technology Management, LLC for a Backup and Disaster Recovery Appliance and Cloud Backup Services, and for Migration of Remote Access VPN Services to the Timus Platform.

Once the schedule is confirmed and agreed upon by client and Apex, any changes to the agreed upon schedule will be considered a change from the original project's scope and may lead to 4 of 6
51 additional project costs (labor, shipping, etc.). Project estimated start date expectation could be up to 12 weeks (about 3 months) after project signature and required hardware/software payment has been received. Week DeliverableWeek 1Phase 1Week 2Phase 2 & 3This proposal is dependent upon three assumptions: 1) Timely access to and responsive cooperation with the vendor responsible for the software and/or hardware being installed and/or configured by Apex. 2) All hardware and software have been properly specified (interface, versions, etc.) by the vendor responsible and are available at the time of installation. 3) Upon completion, the software and hardware specified by a third-party/application vendor perform as expected by the vendor and client. The above assumptions define expectations considered outside of Apex Technology Management's control and responsibility. If, for any reason as outlined above, the time required to complete any vendor-dependent task exceeds the time budgeted in this proposal, the client will be billed for the actual hours more than this budget at the pre-specified project rate. Project InvoicingApex reserves the right to invoice for work completed against a project/phase and receive a timely payment IF the project/phase extends beyond the scheduled completion date AND the project/phase delay is caused by the client OR vendor(s) directly or indirectly contracted by the client. An initial payment for any hardware and software required for this project is required before project scheduling can begin.CLIENT OBLIGATIONS & RESPONSIBILITIESTo keep the project on schedule and within budget, the Client agrees to fulfill the following obligations. Delays or gaps may require schedule changes and/or a formal Change Order.A. Governance & CommunicationDesignated Point of Contact (POC): Assign one authorized POC to coordinate resources, consolidate feedback, and provide approvals on the Client’s behalf.Response & Approval SLAs: POC and required stakeholders will respond to project communications within two (2) business days and provide signoffs by the deadlines in the project plan (business days based on the project’s primary time zone).Stakeholder Availability: Ensure required stakeholders attend key meetings (e.g., Kickoff, Requirements, User Acceptance Testing (UAT)) as scheduled.B.

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-___: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Beauchaine Consulting Group.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed amendment increases the maximum compensation under the agreement by $151,200, from $34,000 to a total not to exceed amount of $185,200. The amendment amount reflects a time and materials cost estimate of $126,000 for the period of July 1 through November 30, 2026, plus a 20 percent contingency of $25,200. Approximately 80 percent of the cost, or $120,960, will be funded by the General Fund and will require the use of GF reserves, bringing it from $6.4M (estimated) to near $6.2M (estimated). The remaining 20 percent, or approximately $30,240, will be allocated to capital funds and special assessment districts, including the Suisun/Solano Water Authority (SSWA), consistent with the cost allocation of finance services that directly benefit those funds. This allocation ensures that funds outside the General Fund bear their proportionate share of the cost of the financial services they receive.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Sustainability and Stewarship
BACKGROUND:
In May 2026, the City approved a professional services agreement with Beauchaine Consulting Group to provide interim executive finance and accounting consulting services following the vacancy in the Finance Director position. Since that time, the consultant has provided executive leadership and operational support to maintain continuity of essential finance functions, assist the Finance Department with daily operations, and support the City Manager's Office during the leadership transition.
During the course of the engagement, it became evident that the Finance Department would benefit from a more comprehensive operational assessment to identify opportunities for improvement and establish priorities that will support long term organizational success. As the City moves into implementation of the FY 2027 Budget, preparation for the completion of the FY 2025 and beginning of the FY 2026 Annual Audits, and recruitment of a permanent Finance Director, staff believes it is appropriate to expand the scope of services to address both immediate operational needs and longer term organizational objectives.
STAFF REPORT:
The proposed contract amendment authorizes Beauchaine Consulting Group to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Finance Department and to lead a structured improvement effort that staff has named the Finance Operational Strategic Plan(FOSP). The Finance Operational Strategic Plan is the framework through which the City will assess, prioritize, and repair the department's core operations. 73 A central element of the FOSP is the identification of both opportunities and threats within the City's financial systems. The assessment will evaluate accounting operations, finance operations, organizational structure and staffing, and financial systems and software. On the opportunity side, the assessment will identify areas where process improvements, technology utilization, staffing realignment, and updated procedures can strengthen internal controls, improve timeliness and accuracy of financial reporting, and increase the department's capacity to support citywide operations. On the threat side, the assessment will identify structural risks to the system, including single points of failure, internal control gaps, deferred reconciliations, audit readiness deficiencies, and system configuration issues that, if left unaddressed, would continue to expose the City to financial reporting and operational risk.
Findings will not sit on a shelf awaiting permanent leadership. Improvements will be implemented in two phases:
items that can be corrected now will be implemented immediately by the consultant during the term of the engagement, and remaining items will be carried forward through the recruitment, onboarding, and transition of the new permanent Finance Director, who will inherit a clear operational roadmap rather than an undefined set of problems. The amended scope specifically includes assistance with the recruitment, selection, onboarding, and transition of the permanent Finance Director so that momentum is not lost at the leadership handoff.
Staff notes that, based on the deficiencies already identified, the full remediation effort will preliminarily take more than one year to complete. The items identified to date, including completion of the FY 2025 and FY 2026 Annual Audits, reconciliation and cleanup work, process redesign, and financial system improvements, extend beyond the term of this amendment. The FOSP is therefore designed as a multi phase effort: stabilize operations and complete the assessment now, implement as many improvements as practical during the consultant's engagement, and transition the remaining prioritized workplan to the permanent Finance Director for continued execution.
The scope of services under the amendment includes the following:
Interim Finance Operations Support, including development and administration of the FY 2027 Budget, oversight and coordination of the FY 2025 and FY 2026 Annual Audits, and strategic financial guidance to the City Manager's Office.
Finance Department Operational Assessment covering accounting operations, finance operations, organizational structure and staffing, financial systems and software, budget systems, and other operational areas identified during the assessment.
Strategic Planning and Implementation, developing strategic priorities based on the assessment and implementing as many identified initiatives and deliverables as practical during the term of the agreement.
Recruitment and Transition Support for the selection, onboarding, and transition of the permanent Finance Director.
Beauchaine Consulting Group specializes in providing interim executive financial leadership, organizational assessments, and strategic advisory services for local governments during periods of transition. Unlike traditional interim staffing, this approach focuses not only on maintaining critical financial operations, but also on evaluating organizational effectiveness, implementing operational improvements, and positioning the organization for long term success under permanent leadership. The proposed amendment allows the City to leverage this specialized expertise while advancing both immediate operational priorities and long term organizational goals.
This approach allows the City to continue stabilizing finance operations while identifying opportunities and threats across the system, implementing operational improvements where feasible, and positioning the incoming Finance Director for long term success. The goal is to leave the department with a clear operational roadmap, improved organizational effectiveness, and a strong foundation upon which permanent leadership can continue to build.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026 ___:
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Beauchaine Consulting Group for Interim Executive Finance Leadership and the Finance Operational Strategic Plan, in an amount not to exceed $185,200.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
MEETING
DATE: July 7, 2026
AGENDA IT
EM: Introduction (First Reading) and Waiver of Further Reading of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Suisun City, California, Repealing Chapter 10.40 of the Suisun City Municipal Code and Adding a New Chapter 10.42, Regulating Bicycles, Electric Bicycles, and Regulated Mobility Devices Within the City of Suisun City.
FISCAL
IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the introduction or adoption of the proposed ordinance. Implementation costs, including signage for posted restrictions (Class I Bicycle Path Class 3 e-bike restriction, Marina/Waterfront District Pedestrian Priority Zone, and event- boundary postings) and Police Department training on the updated administrative citation and enforcement provisions, are anticipated to be modest and will be absorbed within existing Public Works and Police Department operating budgets. Staff will pursue available grant funding, including funding through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Solano Transportation Authority, to offset costs associated with bicycle facility maintenance and signage where feasible. The repeal of the City’s existing $3 bicycle registration fee under Chapter 10.40 will result in a negligible loss of revenue, as the fee has not been actively collected or enforced in recent years.
STRATE
GIC PLAN IMPACT: Ensure Public Safety. Provide Good Governance. Ensure Fiscal Solvency.
BACKGRO
UND: The City’s existing bicycle ordinance, Chapter 10.40 of the Suisun City Municipal Code (Ord. 478, 1983), was adopted before the advent of electric bicycles (e-bikes) and other electric mobility devices. Chapter 10.40 consists primarily of a bicycle registration and licensing scheme, a $3 registration fee that has not been actively enforced or collected in recent years, a $5 statutory fine cap, and a single provision addressing sidewalk riding. It contains no definitions or regulations specific to e- bikes, electric scooters, or other modern mobility devices, and no enforcement tools appropriate for current conditions.
The use
of e-bikes and other electric mobility devices has increased significantly within the City and statewide in recent years, creating safety concerns for riders, pedestrians, and other road users. Several California cities — including Del Mar, Brea, and Carlsbad — have recently adopted updated e-bike and electric mobility device ordinances to address these concerns. The Suisun City Police Department currently has limited legal tools available to address unsafe e-bike conduct under the City’s outdated code.
The City Attorney has prepared the proposed Chapter 10.42, attached as Exhibit A to the proposed ordinance, which repeals Chapter 10.40 in its entirety and establishes a comprehensive, modern framework for the regulation of bicycles, e-bikes, and other regulated mobility devices within the City, drawing on best practices from comparable California cities. The proposed ordinance is summarized in the Staff Report section below.
83 Item 14
STAFF REPORT: Repeal of Chapter 10.40 and Sunset of Bicycle Registration The proposed ordinance repeals Chapter 10.40 in its entirety, including the City’s 1983 bicycle registration and licensing requirement. Staff does not recommend replacing this requirement with an updated registration program. While California Vehicle Code Section 39002 authorizes cities to require local bicycle registration and impose a fee, the existing program has not been actively administered or enforced in recent years, and the Public Works and Police Departments do not currently have the staffing capacity to administer a registration database, process renewals, or enforce compliance.
Repealing the registration requirement removes an unenforced and largely symbolic provision from the Municipal Code without a corresponding loss of any meaningfully collected revenue.
Operator Conduct Standards and Sidewalk Prohibition
The proposed Chapter 10.42 establishes detailed operator duty-of-care standards applicable to all Regulated Mobility Devices, including e-bikes, electric scooters, and similar devices, drawing on best practices from comparable California cities. These standards include requirements to operate at a reasonable speed for existing conditions, obey traffic controls, yield to pedestrians, and refrain from unsafe passing, acrobatics, or racing in public areas. Helmets are required for all riders under 18 years of age and for all riders of Class 3 e-bikes regardless of age.
The proposed ordinance prohibits the operation of all Regulated Mobility Devices on City sidewalks, regardless of device class or speed capability. This blanket prohibition responds directly to community and staff concerns that e-bikes and similar devices, even where capable of low-speed operation, present a safety risk when operated on sidewalks alongside pedestrians, including persons using strollers, wheelchairs, and other mobility aids. The sidewalk prohibition is enforced through the same mechanisms described below applicable to other violations of Chapter 10.42: primarily through Police Department and Code Enforcement observation in the course of routine patrol and inspection duties, and in response to citizen complaints, supported by the administrative citation schedule and diversion program described below. Given the City’s current staffing levels, enforcement of the sidewalk prohibition will be complaint-driven and observation-based rather than the product of dedicated, proactive sidewalk patrols; staff believes this approach, paired with a meaningful penalty structure, represents a reasonable and resource-appropriate enforcement model consistent with similar provisions in comparable cities.
Minimum Age Requirements
The proposed ordinance establishes a minimum age of 12 years for the operation of Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes, consistent with California Vehicle Code Section 21214.7, and a minimum age of 16 years for operation of Class 3 e-bikes, consistent with California Vehicle Code Section 21213. Enforcement against minors is structured to align with state law, including a $25 infraction fine that may be waived upon proof of completion of an approved electric bicycle safety and training program within 120 days, and joint and several parental liability for fines imposed on minors.
Class 3 E-Bike Restriction on Class I Bicycle Paths
The proposed ordinance prohibits the operation of Class 3 e-bikes — which provide motor assistance up to 28 miles per hour — on City Class I Bicycle Paths (paved, physically separated paths), pursuant to authority expressly granted to local agencies under California Vehicle Code Section 21207.5. Class 1 84 Item 14
and Class 2 e-bikes, which provide assistance only up to 20 miles per hour, remain permitted on Class I paths, subject to all other applicable safety provisions. This restriction reflects the safety concern that a device capable of 28 miles per hour presents a substantially elevated collision and injury risk on a narrow, shared-use path designed for lower-speed bicycle and pedestrian traffic. As required by state law, this restriction must be posted by signage at the entry points of all City Class I Bicycle Paths in order to be enforceable; staff will coordinate with Public Works to install the required signage prior to the ordinance’s effective date.
Marina/Waterfront District Pedestrian Priority Zone and City-Sponsored Event Restrictions The proposed ordinance designates the Suisun City Marina/Waterfront District as a Pedestrian Priority Zone, subject to a posted speed limit of 10 miles per hour for all Regulated Mobility Devices and a prohibition on Class 3 e-bike operation, consistent with the Class I path restriction described above.
This designation reflects the high pedestrian use of the Marina/Waterfront District, particularly the Marina boardwalk, and the City’s strategic goal of revitalizing the Downtown Waterfront District as a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly community gathering space.
The ordinance additionally authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to designate any City-sponsored or City-permitted public event for which the operation of Regulated Mobility Devices shall be prohibited within the posted event boundary or road closure zone, for the duration of the event, where the City Manager determines that anticipated pedestrian density or other public safety considerations warrant such a prohibition. This authority is exercised on a case-by-case basis for any qualifying event — including, but not limited to, the City’s Independence Day (Fourth of July) celebration, Suisun City Pride, Cinco de Mayo, Juneteenth, Christmas on the Waterfront, and New Year’s Eve — and is not limited to events specifically enumerated in the ordinance, so that the restriction may be applied to any current or future City-sponsored event presenting similar pedestrian density concerns. Once an event is designated, the Police Chief or designee is responsible for implementation, including posting of signage and barricades and enforcement during the event. ADA and public agency exemptions continue to apply within both the standing Pedestrian Priority Zone and any designated event restriction.
Enforcement Tools
The proposed ordinance authorizes administrative citations for violations of Chapter 10.42, with a tiered fine schedule of $125 for a first offense, $250 for a second offense within 12 months, and $500 for a third and subsequent offense within 12 months, replacing the existing $5 statutory cap under Chapter
10.40. The Police Chief or designee retains discretion to divert first-time or minor violators to a Police Department-approved safety training course in lieu of a citation. For minors operating e-bikes who create an immediate or substantial risk to public safety — such as reckless operation, disregard of traffic controls, or unsafe group riding — the ordinance authorizes temporary seizure of the device, with a 48- hour minimum hold and release to the parent or legal guardian upon their presence at the Police Department; a written referral to any available Police Department-approved e-bike safety training program is provided at the time of release, and the Chief of Police retains authority to require completion of such a program as a condition of release once one is available. Parents and legal guardians are held jointly and severally liable with minors for administrative fines 85 Item 14
Liability and Risk Management Considerations
An ordinance regulating e-bike and Regulated Mobility Device conduct does not, by itself, immunize the City from liability for injuries arising from a dangerous condition of public property under Government Code Section 835. However, the detailed operator conduct standards established by the proposed ordinance provide a documented legal baseline against which a rider’s own conduct may be measured in any future claim, supporting potential comparative fault arguments where a rider’s violation of the ordinance — such as excessive speed or operation of a Class 3 e-bike on a restricted path — contributes to an injury.
In conjunction with this ordinance, the City Attorney has recommended that the City develop an Administrative Directive establishing a bicycle facility inspection, complaint reporting, and maintenance prioritization framework for City Class I and Class II bicycle facilities. Such a Directive would be designed to operate within the City’s existing budget and staffing constraints — relying on a complaint-based reporting system, periodic field observation incorporated into existing Public Works, Police, and Code Enforcement duties at no additional cost, and a risk-based maintenance prioritization framework, rather than a costly dedicated inspection program. A draft Directive is currently under review by the City’s Risk Management Authority and the Public Works Department to ensure operational feasibility before being brought forward for City Manager implementation. Staff anticipates returning to the City Council with this companion item at the time of second reading and adoption of this ordinance, currently anticipated for the August 4, 2026 regular meeting.
This local risk management strategy is informed by the statewide context described above. As reported by Cal Cities, public entity liability exposure in California has tripled over the past seven years to more than $7 billion and is projected to rise an additional 70 percent by Fiscal Year 2027–28, with large claims (those exceeding $1 million) representing less than 1 percent of all claims but approximately 60 percent of all claim funds paid. The City participates in a joint powers authority risk pool for liability coverage, meaning that large claims against any member agency, including the City, can result in higher premiums and special assessments across the pool. Proactive, well-documented risk management measures, including the operator conduct standards in this ordinance and the forthcoming Administrative Directive described above, are consistent with the City’s strategic goals of ensuring public safety and fiscal solvency, and represent a prudent local response to this broader statewide trend.
Procedural Posture
This is the first reading and introduction of the proposed ordinance. If introduced by the City Council at this meeting, the ordinance would return for a second reading and adoption at a subsequent regular meeting, currently anticipated for August 4, 2026, consistent with Government Code Section 36934.
The companion Administrative Directive described above is also anticipated to be presented at that time, following review by the City’s Risk Management Authority and Public Works Department. The ordinance would take effect 30 days following adoption, consistent with Government Code Section 36937.

AN O
RDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SUISUN CITY, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING CHAPTER 10.40 OF THE SUISUN CITY MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 10.42 (REGULATED MOBILITY DEVICES) TO TITLE 10 (VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC) OF THE SUISUN CITY MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 1. Chapter 10.40 of Title 10 of the Suisun City Municipal Code is hereby repealed in its entirety, including all bicycle registration and licensing requirements set forth therein, and a new Chapter 10.42 is hereby added to Title 10 of the Suisun City Municipal Code to read as follows:
CHAPTER 10.42. - REGULATED MOBILITY DEVICES
10.42.010. - Legislative findings.
The City Council of the City of Suisun City hereby finds, determines and declares that:
(1) The use of electric bicycles, electric scooters, and other electric mobility devices has increased substantially within the City of Suisun City and throughout the State of California in recent years, providing residents and visitors with a convenient and environmentally beneficial alternative mode of transportation.
(2) This increased usage has also created safety concerns among interactions between operators of regulated mobility devices and other pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists, particularly on sidewalks, narrow Class I bicycle paths, and in areas of high pedest rian density, warranting a heightened level of local regulation. (3) Class 3 electric bicycles are capable of motor -assisted speeds of up to twenty- eight (28) miles per hour, a speed that presents a substantially elevated risk of collision and serious injury when operated on sidewalks, narrow Class I bicycle paths shared with pedestrians and slower-speed bicyclists, and in areas of concentrated pedestrian activity such as the Marina/Waterfront District.
(4) The operation of regulated mobility devices on sidewalks creates conflicts with pedestrians, including persons using strollers, wheelchairs, and other mobility aids, and detracts from the safe and quiet enjoyment of sidewalks and pedestrian facilities by members of the public.
(5) The Suisun City Marina/Waterfront District experiences concentrated pedestrian activity, including during City- sponsored public events such as the City’s Independence Day celebration, Suisun City Pride, Cinco de Mayo, Juneteenth, Christmas on the Waterfront, and New Year’s Eve, during which the unrestricted operation of regulated mobility devices would present a heightened risk to public safety.
(6) Chapter 10.40 of the Suisun City Municipal Code, adopted in 1983, predates the existence of electric bicycles and other regulated mobility devices, contains no provisions addressing 88 2
such devices, and imposes a statutory fine cap and bicycle registration requirement that are no longer enforced or administratively practicable.
(7) California Vehicle Code Section 21206 authorizes local authorities to adopt rules and regulations applicable to bicycles that are not in conflict with the California Vehicle Code, and California Vehicle Code Section 21207.5 expressly authorizes local authorities to prohibit or restrict the operation of Class 3 electric bicycles on a bicycle path, provided such prohibition or restriction is posted.
(8) The City Council’s intent in enacting this Chapter is to establish reasonable, evidence - based regulations governing the operation of regulated mobility devices in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of operators, pedestrians, and the general public, while continuing to support the use of such devices as a legitimate and beneficial mode of transportation within the City.
10.42.020. - Purpose.
The purpose of this Chapter is to regulate the use of bicycles, electric bicycles, and regulated mobility devices on public roadways, streets, highways, bicycle facilities, sidewalks, trails, and other public areas within the City of Suisun City in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of operators, pedestrians, and the general public. This Chapter supplements, and is not intended to conflict with, applicable provisions of the California Vehicle Code.

At the time of release, the Police Department shall provide the minor and the minor’s parent or legal guardian with written information identifying any Police Department-approved Electric Bicycle safety and training program then available, which may include programs offered at schools, community centers, or other locations designated by the Chief of Police or designee. Any approved program may include the electric bicycle safety and training program developed by the California Highway Patrol pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 894, a related safety course prescribed by the Chief of Police or designee, or any locally available course providing equivalent instruction, as determined by the Chief of Police or designee.
If and when such a program is available, the Chief of Police or designee may, as a condition of releasing the seized Electric Bicycle or as a separate condition of any citation diversion under subsection (C) of this Section, require the minor to complete such program. Completion of an approved program shall be documented in a manner acceptable to the Police Department.
Administrative Cost Recovery. The City may impose administrative charges not exceeding its actual administrative costs directly related to the removal, seizure, and storage of a Regulated Mobility Device, as authorized by California Vehicle Code Section 22651.08. Such charges may include costs associated with towing coordination, documentation, processing, and recordkeeping.

1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING — JULY 7, 2026Regulated Mobility Devices OrdinanceRepealing Chapter 10.40 • Adding New Chapter 10.42Introduction (First Reading) — City of Suisun CityPatrick L. Enright, City AttorneyBACKGROUNDWhy the City Is Acting Now Outdated CodeChapter 10.40 was adopted in 1983, before e-bikes existed. It carries a $5 fine cap and an unenforced bicycle registration scheme — no provisions for e-bikes or modern mobility devices.
Rising E-Bike UseE-bike and scooter use has grown sharply citywide and statewide, creating safety conflicts on sidewalks, paths, and roadways that current code cannot address.
Peer City AlignmentDel Mar, Brea, and Carlsbad have each recently updated their e-bike ordinances. Suisun City's proposal draws on the strongest, most defensible provisions from each.City of Suisun City | Chapter 10.42 — Regulated Mobility Devices 2 1 2

4 RISK MANAGEMENT CONTEXTStatewide Liability Costs Are Rising Sharply$7B+Public entity liability exposure statewide —tripled in 7 years70%Projected further increase by FY 2027–2860%Of all claim funds paid out by claims exceeding $1M (< 1% of claims)Per Cal Cities (June 2026): More than 40 California cities, plus dozens of school districts, are urging legislative tort reform.
