Contract Agreement- 2026 Chip
Seal Project
BACKGROUND:
The City has an approved street maintenance program with streets listed by their need for repair and type of repair. The City Engineer and City Staff determined that it would be more cost effective to conduct Chip seal work instead of overlay to the following roads withing the City: Condor Road- Adobe Road to MCAGCC Gate and on Utah Trail- Hwy 62 to Two Mile Road. A chip seal will extend the life of the street for 10-15 years. Also, the costs of chip seal as compared to an overlay is roughly 50% cheaper. Asphalt in the Twentynine Palms area is very expensive for projects. An overlay project also requires extra work at additional costs as the overlay will require raising manholes, water valves, gas valves and utility boxes.
Bids were received, opened, and publicly read on April 16, 2026, for the 2026 Chip Seal Project. The Project generally consists of providing necessary labor, equipment and materials to construct a polymer modified chip seal on the roads mentioned above. In addition, the contractor will provide, striping and pavement markers, as specified in the specifications and the special provisions.
The bid results are as follows:
Company Bid Amount Page 13 of 103
Pavement Coatings, Co.$296,879.05
VSS International, Inc $346,211.00
COPP Contracting, Inc. $353,227.85
Manhole Adjusting, Inc.$470,665.50
Upon review of the submitted bids, it has been determined that Pavement Coatings, Co. is the lowest responsive/responsible bidder. The company has extensive record of providing quality slurry seal and chip seal products to various municipalities and governmental agencies over its years in service. The company also has a record of providing excellent workmanship and customer service.
Considering Pavement Coatings, Co. is the lowest/responsible bidder and the company is highly qualified, Staff recommends awarding a contract for the 2026 Chip Seal Project to Pavement Coatings, Co. of Jurupa Valley CA., in the amount of $296,879.05 and authorize a Ten Percent (10%) Contingency in the amount of $29,688.00, for a total contract amount of $326,567.05.
The total contract amount and the project management cost will be funded by Measure I funding. The project is expected to be completed by the end of June 2026.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This agenda item addresses the following strategic plan goals:
Goal C: Improved Infrastructure. C3.2: Maintain paved roads, dirt roads, and sidewalks, including a schedule for regular maintenance and improvements.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
This project is exempt from environmental.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could reject the bids and re-advertise the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project will be funded with Measure I funding. The project has been included in the Measure I budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The contractor's bid and the contingency are within the approved budget for Measure I.

In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section.
Failure of CITY to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on CITY and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend CITY as set forth herein is binding on successors, assigns or heirs of CONTRACTOR and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section. (c) Indemnity Provisions for Contracts Related to Construction. Without affecting the rights of CITY under any provision of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless CITY from such liability, claims. losses, damages or expenses arising from CITY’s sole negligence or willful acts.
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. CONTRACTOR shall use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, CONTRACTOR agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to CITY in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to CITY.
CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, or employees. All Sections of this Agreement and any provision in CITY's
Request for Proposal and CONTRACTOR's submitted proposal are subordinate to and superseded by the requirements contained in this Section to the extent that any provision or portion thereof conflicts with or impairs these requirements or any obligation to or right under or pursuant to these insurance requirements. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties to be interpreted as such.
(a) Minimum Scope of Insurance. Coverage shall be at least as broad as:
(1) Commercial General Liability Insurance – Written on the Insurance Services Office “Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent.
Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. (2) Business Auto Coverage –Written on the ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. If CONTRACTOR owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If CONTRACTOR or CONTRACTOR’s employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, CONTRACTOR shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each person. (3) CONTRACTOR certified that the company does not have employees and does have Workers’ Compensation/ employer’s Liability Insurance. As soon as the CONTRACTOR has employees, he/she will have the insurance below:
Workers' Compensation/Employer's Liability Insurance - Written on a policy form providing workers' compensation statutory benefits as required by the State of California.
Employer's Liability limits shall be no less than one millions dollars ($1,000,000) per accident or disease. Employer's Liability coverage shall be scheduled under any umbrella policy described above. Unless otherwise agreed, this policy shall be endorsed to waive any right of subrogation as respects CITY, its officers, officials, employees, or agents.
(4) Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate to the CONTRACTOR’s profession - Written on policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, errors or omissions of the CONTRACTOR and “Covered Professional Services” as designated in the policy must specifically include work performed under this agreement.
(b) Minimum Limits of Insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain limits no less than:
(1) General Liability: $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If Commercial General Liability Insurance or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit. (2) Automobile Liability: $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
(3) Errors and Omissions Liability: The policy limit shall be no less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. The policy must “pay on behalf
of” the insured and must include a provision establishing the insurer’s duty to defend. The policy retroactive date shall be on or before the effective date of this agreement. Insurance shall continue to be effective to cover all claims made within three (3) years of the completion of the work in the Agreement.
(4) Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary): If used to meet limit requirements, it shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at the time insured’s liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to CITY for injury to employees of CONTRACTOR, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of CITY following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than per occurrence. (c) Deductibles and Self-Insured Retention. CONTRACTOR agrees not to selfinsure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any CONTRACTOR, subcontractors, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to CITY. If CONTRACTOR’s existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the CITY. At that time the CITY shall review options with the CONTRACTOR, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or the CONTRACTOR to procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses or other solutions. Any deductibles in excess of ten percent (10%) or selfinsured retention must be approved by the City Manager. (d) Other Insurance Provisions. The general liability, business auto liability, and any necessary umbrella liability policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
(1) General liability and umbrella policies shall cover the CITY, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be named additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR; products and completed operations of the CONTRACTOR; premises owned, occupied or used by the
CONTRACTOR; or automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by the CONTRACTOR. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to the CITY, its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers. Endorsements including the additional insured shall be at least as broad as ISO endorsement number CG 20 10, CG 20 26, or GC 20 33 and 20 37, attached to an IOS-CGL policy or other form as expressly approved by CITY, and which does not limit the scope of
coverage for the additional insured to vicarious liability or to the additional insured's supervision of a given project. CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all CONTRACTOR’s and subcontractors to do likewise. (2) For any claims related to this project, the CONTRACTOR's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respect to the CITY, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or selfinsurance maintained by the CITY, its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers shall be excess of the CONTRACTOR's insurance and shall not contribute with it.
(3) Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the CITY, its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers. (4) The CONTRACTOR's insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability, and there shall be no cross liability exclusions that preclude coverage for suits between CONTRACTOR and CITY or between CITY and any other insured. CONTRACTOR expressly waives any claim against CITY for any covered act or event, and CONTRACTOR's insurance policy shall not prevent such waiver. The limits of insurance required herein shall in no way limit the liability of the party providing the insurance. In addition, if the coverage or limits available to CONTRACTOR exceed that required by this Agreement, and the loss incurred by the additional insured exceeds the amount required by this Agreement, it is the parties' intent that all such additional coverage and limits available will apply irrespective of the specific coverage or limits required herein. (5) No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit CONTRACTOR, or CONTRACTOR’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR agrees to waive subrogation rights against CITY regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all CONTRACTORs and subcontractors to do likewise.
(6) All insurance coverage and limits provided by CONTRACTOR and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the CITY or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
(7) The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the CITY will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to CITY.
(8) For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
(9) CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of CITY to inform CONTRACTOR of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
(10) None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing. (11) No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any CONTRACTOR or subcontractor.
(12) All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the CITY, as the need arises.
CONTRACTOR shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect CITY’s protection without CITY’s prior written consent. (13) The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of CONTRACTOR under this Agreement. CONTRACTOR expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to CITY, its employees, officials and agents. (14) Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
(15) CONTRACTOR agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge CITY or CONTRACTOR for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to CITY. It is not the intent of CITY to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against CITY for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
(e) Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized and admitted to do business in California and with a current A.M. Best's rating of A or better and a financial size of VII or greater, unless otherwise acceptable to the CITY. (f) Verification of Coverage and Notice of Cancellation. (1) CONTRACTOR shall immediately furnish to CITY certificates of insurance or endorsements, satisfactory to CITY, evidencing the insurance coverage above required prior to the commencement of performance of services hereunder. These certificates or endorsements shall provide that such insurance is the minimum, is in no way limited by any provision herein, and allows for the application of all coverage available to the
additional insureds. Further, the Contractors or endorsements shall require thirty (30) days written notice to additional insured City prior to termination, suspension, cancellation, or non-renewal, or the reduction of available coverage, or any changes in the terms of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certifications to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to make written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation or that any party will “endeavor”(as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate. (2) CONTRACTOR agrees that if CONTRACTOR commences work under this Agreement without first providing CITY copies of the required insurance certificates or endorsements, that CONTRACTOR does so at its own and sole risk. In the event CONTRACTOR's insurance is not acceptable to CITY or copies of insurance certificates or endorsements are not provided, CITY shall have no obligations to compensate CONTRACTOR for such work unless CONTRACTOR possesses a notice to proceed from CITY for this work.
(3) Within sixty (60) days of the commencement of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall furnish certified copies of the actual policies and endorsements. Failure to submit such policies shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling CITY to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including summary termination of this Agreement. If proof of any insurance required under this Agreement is not delivered as required or if such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, CITY shall have the right but not the duty to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this Agreement, express or implied, in any way relating to CITY. Any premium for such coverage shall be charged to and promptly paid by CONTRACTOR or, at CITY's option, may be deducted from sums due to CONTRACTOR. (4) In the event of the premature termination of this Agreement for any reason, CONTRACTOR agrees to maintain the required insurance coverage until CITY provides written authorization to terminate the coverage following a review and determination that all liability posed under this Agreement as to the party providing the insurance has been eliminated.
(5) Except as outlined in Section 10(b) (3) above, CONTRACTOR will renew the required coverage annually as long as CITY, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until CITY executes a written statement to that effect. (6) CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from CONTRACTOR’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to CITY within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
(g) Notice of Claim or Loss. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss likely to involve CITY or its employees or agents which exceeds $2,500 or is likely to exceed that amount arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
(h) Sub-Contractor Insurance Requirements. CONTRACTOR agrees to require that all parties, including but not limited to Sub-Contractors and additional CONTRACTORS or professional services with whom CONTRACTOR enters into contracts or whom CONTRACTOR hires pursuant to or in any way related to the performance of this Agreement, provide the insurance coverage required here, at a minimum. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Section. CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that upon request, all agreements with Sub-Contractors and others engaged in the project contemplated by this Agreement will be submitted to CITY for review. CONTRACTOR agrees and acknowledges that such contracts may require modification as to the insurance requirements necessary to properly protect CITY.

BACKGROUND:
The City of Twentynine Palms (City) and Twentynine Palms Water District (District) are collaborating their efforts to address the potential impacts to the shallow groundwater aquifers from septic systems within city limits.
For several years, the City and District have been completing tasks outlined in the Salt and Nutrient Management Plan (SNMP), collaboratively prepared, as required by the Colorado River Basin Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board). The plan was prepared in 2014 and later approved in 2019. Through this plan, they are undertaking measures to increase monitoring of the groundwater and to limit potential water quality impacts to groundwater that may arise from the septic systems in the region.
Residents of the City and the unincorporated areas rely solely on groundwater for their daily needs. This community pulls from four different underground basins (aquifers) that also overlap with neighboring districts. With no centralized sewer throughout the community, commercial and residential lots rely on septic systems to hold the domestic wastewater from their properties.
The District provides drinking water to their customers from deeper groundwater aquifers (>300 feet below ground surface). It is the District’s understanding that there is a clay layer separating the shallow groundwater from the deep groundwater. However, water naturally flows through paths of least resistance, so the potential for shallow groundwater to make its way down to the deeper groundwater remains present.
One of the main potential impacts to groundwater is septic systems. Within the City, there are individual systems for residential housing, and there are package systems (batch treatment) for residential developments, hotels and commercial areas.
With septic systems come different responsibilities. Due to systems holding domestic wastewater underground, they can pose a severe risk to our groundwater if they are not properly maintained. If installed, managed, and maintained as intended, septic systems are considered an acceptable solution to domestic wastewater treatment for rural areas. When septic systems are not regularly inspected and maintained, the results for potential water quality can impact the shallow groundwater.
There are eight (8) batch treatment systems in the City. The City and the Water District are aware of three systems that are failing. These systems are permitted by the Water Board. The other septic systems are individual residential systems that are permitted separately. Failing batch treatment plants may also affect water quality in the shallow groundwater.
The Water Board upholds that all water shall be protected, regardless of whether or not it is used for drinking, recreation or natural habitat. There is a need to better understand the quality of the shallow groundwater beneath the City. As part of the SNMP, measures have been identified to obtain information, communicate with residents and business owners, and implement ways to protect, or minimize the potential for further degradation of the shallow groundwater aquifers beneath the City.
The easiest and most immediate way to support these measures is to establish continual communications with the City Council, residents, and business owners. Communications can be used to provide education about septic systems and reminders about proper inspections and maintenance. These communications have just now begun with the addition of this memo and corresponding presentation by Matt Shragge with the District to City Council meetings. The City will have an item on the Consent Calendar each meeting to keep the City Council updated on this topic. The following are additional communication options to consider:
1. Add information to the City Website:
a. Community Events page:
i. Weekly Certified Farmers Market
b. Community Development Department Page
i. We could add a link called “Septic Systems” in it where we can add information. c. City Public Works website
2. Add information to the City Newsletter (info tidbits about septic systems and maybe information about timely inspections of septic systems).
3. Annual Pioneer Days – could be an opportunity to share how wastewater is managed
4. Community Health & Resource Fair
The District will also be looking into ways to spread the word about septic systems such as:
1. District Website:
a. Front Page - Hot Topics section (inclusion of tidbits about septic systems) b. Water Quality page – “Protecting Your Water”
c. Providing links to existing SNMP and other groundwater related reports d. Septic Tank Maintenance Section
2. District Quarterly Newsletter
These are options to consider and do not need to be implemented at once, but little by little as deemed appropriate. The intent is to keep residents informed of the City’s activities with respect to water quality, so that a foundation is established, conversations can begin, and improvements made as they are identified.
The Water Board has been engaged in discussions with the City and the District. Progress on septic system management is expected and accomplishments are reported on annually. Progress has now begun with the inclusion of this memo and the District’s presentation to this City Council Meeting.

FY 26-27 - General Fund
BACKGROUND:
The Finance Director is presenting the preliminary review of the General Fund budget revisions for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27. FY 2026-27 is the second year of the two-year budget for both the General Fund and Special Revenue Funds and Sewer Fund. The original adopted two-year budget can be found on the City's website. The preliminary review of the Special Revenue Funds and Sewer Fund budgets will be presented to the City Council on May 12, 2026. A Public Hearing will be scheduled on May 26, 2026 and June 23, 2026 to review and adopt the General Fund Budget and Special Revenue Funds and Sewer Fund budgets, respectively. The City Council is required to approve the budget revisions before the beginning of the new Fiscal Year which begins July 1, 2026.
The two-year budget for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 was approved and adopted on June 10, 2025. Since then, the City has received new and/or revised revenue and expenditures estimates that merit revisions to the FY 2026- 27 budget. The City’s revenue revisions were updated using the latest estimates from the San Bernardino County (Property Tax), HDL (Sales Tax), and local trends (Transient Occupancy Tax – TOT and building/planning permits/fees). TOT trends are the most difficult to predict, primarily due to the unpredictability of the current economic market. The preliminary expenditure revisions were first established by utilizing historical spending by Page 41 of 103 department. Each Department Head had an opportunity to review and provide input for their respective department's budget. The budget revisions were also derived from input of both the City Council during Strategic Planning and the Budget Committee (Councilwoman Ramirez, Councilman Bilderain, City Manager and Finance Director).
Revenues:
The initial two-year general fund budget for FY 2026-27 had a surplus of $4K; however, the revisions have increased the surplus to $11K. Overall, the proposed budget for 2026-27 is a balanced budget with revised revenues of $15.3M, not including reserves and transfers in. Unfortunately, due to the decline in net taxable assessed values over the past two fiscal years, revenues from Property tax and Property tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF) combined are expected to be $249K lower than originally projected. For instance, in FY 2022- 23, the City's net taxable assessed values increased by 11.16% from the prior year. In FY 2023-24, the increase from the prior year was 12.01%. The City's net taxable assessed values for FY 2025-26 are projected to increase by only 4.6% from the prior year. TOT revenues for the first two quarters (July to December) of the FY 2025-26 have increased by 7.5% compared to the same period of the last FY. With the unpredictability of short-term rental trends, Staff took a more conservative approach for TOT revenue and increased it by only $50K from the original adopted budget for FY 2026-27. Due to favorable investment yields, interest income was also increased by $50K for FY 2026-27.
Expenditures:
Due to the downward revisions of major revenue sources, operating expenditures were adjusted as needed to balance the budget, including reducing contributions to non-profits from $75K to $50K. The Community Services and Recreation Departments expenditures were revised downwards by $70K and $118K, respectively, mainly due to the retirement of the Community Services Director at the beginning of FY 2025-26. The position will remain vacant for the foreseeable future; however, the savings from the vacancy are offset by the promotion of one of the Parks & Rec's supervisors to Manager to oversee the operations of the department. Additional budget revisions include a Cost-of-Living adjustment of (COLA) of 3.1%; 5%, or $290K, increase to the Sheriff's contract from FY 2025-26; 41%, or $58K, increase from FY 2025-26 in required pension contributions towards the City's Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL); 5% to 20% increase in Liability and property insurance rates; and $30K membership to the Joint Powers Authority for the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust.
Transfers:
Staff is recommending two additional transfers for FY 2025-26 from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $65K. One of the transfers is needed to cover the project management costs associated with the Luckie Park Parking Lot improvement project. The construction phase is funded by a CDBG grant passed through the County of San Bernardino, however, administrative and project management costs are not funded by the grant. Project management costs are estimated at $40K for the duration of this project, including project close out with the County. The second transfer is for $25K to cover the costs of community outreach materials (e.g., printing, postage, advertisement, etc.,) for the sales tax measure initiative. The $25K was originally budgeted under the Non-departmental (printing line item 01 01 07 6231) budget of the General Fund, however, the community survey and consulting services associated with the sales tax initiative were budgeted in the Capital Projects Fund. To keep all the costs associated with sales tax measure under one account, Staff is recommending the transfer of the $25K to the Capital Projects fund.
General Fund Position and Positives/Challenges
The City of Twentynine Palms anticipates having $13.0M in reserves at the end of Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Approximately, 81%, or $12.3M, of the total reserves are unassigned for future uses. The projected unassigned balance is in line with the City's reserve policy of 50-55%. Staff is recommending the City Council assign a total of $119K in funds from the FY 2026-27 fund balance for the following purposes: $50K for voluntary contributions toward the City's Unfunded Accrued Liability, $44K for Risk Management activities and $25K for housing and homelessness programs. The $465K in the restricted fund balance are funds received through the Local Law Enforcement Supplemental Account (LLESA) and Seized Assets programs for frontline municipal police services.
The $126K in the nonspendable fund balance is the land purchased from the Successor Agency as part of the Lear Traffic Signal Installation and prepaid for the fiscal year.
Staff is anticipating another moderate growth year with Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) and Joshua Tree National Park continuing to have attendance growth.
The biggest challenge with the budget is the continued rising inflation, which does not align with the City's charges for services. Another challenge is the continued decline in Gas Tax funding, which currently covers only 50% of the Public Works wages & benefits. In the past, 100% of the Public Works wages and benefits were covered by Gas Tax and Article 8 funding combined. With the elimination of the Article 8 in FY 22/23 and the reduction of Gas Tax funding, the General Fund has been absorbing more and more of these costs. Furthermore, on April 2023, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the Advanced Clear Fleets (ACF) regulation to accelerate zero-emission truck markets. The regulation applies to State and local government agencies that own, lease, or operate in California, one or more vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 8,500 lbs. The City must comply with ACF requirements, and beginning January 1, 2024, the City must ensure that 50% of the annual vehicle purchases per calendar year are zero-emissions, and 100% of the annual vehicle purchases must be zero-emissions by January 1, 2027. The fiscal impact that this regulation will have on the City has not been determined, however, City Staff is projecting a significant increase not only in acquisition costs but in operating costs upon implementation of this regulation.

• TRAFFIC STUDY POLICY
BACKGROUND:
On September 8, 2025, the Community Development Department received an Administrative Use Permit for a new commercial center with a drive through facility. Copies of the site plan, floor plan, and conceptual elevations Page 89 of 103 are attached to this Staff Report. The development proposal is located on the southwest corner of the Outer Highway and Encelia Avenue on an approximately 1/2 acre lot.
On October 9, 2025, an incomplete letter was provided to the applicant requesting a number of items, some of which have been provided. At issue is the requirement for a Traffic Impact Assessment. The City Council policy for the requirements for a Traffic Impact Assessment is attached to this Staff Report. A preliminary determination by the City Engineer has been made that this project will generate at least 50 car trips per day. In general, any proposed new use that may generate more than 50 car trips per day requires that the existing and future anticipated traffic be studied (i.e. through a Traffic Impact Assessment or similar study) in order to determine the appropriate mitigation for the impacts to traffic. These may include, but are not limited to, installation of stop signs, a "fair share" contribution for future road improvements, or other off-site mitigation. The results of the study would determine the appropriate mitigation measures. Without that study, the appropriateness would not be able to be determined.
The applicant has argued against the requirement of the Traffic Impact Analysis due to the cost and is asking for a waiver. The City does not dictate the cost of technical studies.
It should be noted that this development proposal is located adjacent to the Twentynine Palms Outer Highway, which is maintained by CalTrans. It is also within about 60 feet from the intersection of Highway 62 and Encelia Avenue. Caltrans has also requested a Traffic Scoping Agreement and Traffic Analysis. A copy of the correspondence with CalTrans is attached to this Staff Report. Even if the City waives the requirement for a Traffic Impact Assessment, it does not waive the requirement from Caltrans.
City Staff and the Applicant are asking for direction from the City Council on this requirement, since it was established by the City Council. Should the City Council grant the waiver, then the project may proceed through the City entitlement process, but could very well be severely delayed if not halted by Caltrans.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
N/A
ENVIRONMENTAL:
N/A
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could waive the requirement for a Traffic Impact Assessment, thus allowing the project to move forward without it or
the City Council could maintain the requirement and direct Staff to not process the application until all the required materials have been received.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

Veno –
As a reminder to you – I have been advising you of this since you came in with this project.
You can either provide what is required and proceed with the process, or you can continue to disagree with the process and cause further and further delays. It’s completely up to you.

Veno –
The decision that I will be taking forward to the Council is the waiver of the policy re: traffic analysis, not the actual project. I reached out to Caltrans on your project – their response is below:
Good morning, Keith,

Planning Commission recommendation February 1, 2005
City Council adoption February 22, 2005
PART 1- Thresholds for requiring a traffic report.
Any proposed site plan, subdivision, zone change or General Plan Amendment which any of the following applies:
1. A project that could generate 50 directional trips during a peak hour or 500-749 trips during an average day. A single-family residence generates approximately 1 peak hour trip.
2. If a new project’s traffic will substantially affect an intersection or a roadway segment already identified as operating at an unacceptable level of service.
3. A project that may create a hazard to public safety.
4. A project that will substantially change the off-site transportation system or connections to it.
PART 2 – Type of Traffic Report or level of detail required within the report.
Different levels of development require different levels of traffic analysis. Therefore, this part of the draft policy includes three levels of analysis based upon the anticipated peak hour directional trips. One of the key triggers for identifying when a traffic report should be required is “trip generation.” The trip generation of a proposed development is the number of inbound and outbound vehicle trips that are expected to be generated by the development during an average day or during a peak hour.
The process of using thresholds is as follows; estimate the trip generation, compare that generation to accepted thresholds, and then determine the type (if any) of traffic report needed.
The different levels of traffic reports are labeled as follows and are listed in order of complexity, from less to more complex.
1. TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT- This type of study is recommended for smaller scale projects which should not have a significant impact on the overall transportation system, but will have impacts at the site access. The analysis for this type of study focuses on site access points. This report would be required for the following projects:
a. A project projected to generate 50-99 peak hour directional trips. .
b. If a new project’s traffic will substantially affect an intersection or a roadway segment already identified as operating at an unacceptable level of service, or will substantially change the off-site transportation system or connections to it.
c. A project that may create a hazard to public safety.
The scope for a Traffic Impact Assessment varies and is determined on a case by case basis and may include those items for evaluation as listed under the “Traffic Impact Study” description depending upon specific site specific factors.
2. TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY- This is the traditional traffic impact study for projects projected to generate 100-250 peak hour directional trips which evaluates the following:
On-Site Circulation: Review and evaluate access locations, driveway throat depths, and size of major on-site circulation facilities with respect to operations, safety, and continuity with existing and planned facilities.
Off-Site Roadways: Study all locations where: 1) the project circulation system intersects with the existing or planned surrounding street system, and 2) project traffic may substantially affect the operation of a roadway or intersection.
Transit: Discuss all bus routes that have, or will have service, within 1/4 mile of the project.
Bicycles: Identify any existing or planned (Twentynine Palms Bicycle Master Plan) facilities that will be modified by the project or are within 1/4 mile of the project.
Pedestrians: Identify any significant pedestrian facilities that will be affected by the project.
Trucks: For industrial or surface mining projects, identify the number of truck trips that will be generated and design accommodations necessary to support these trucks.
Other subject areas (such as traffic safety, residential impacts, etc.) should also be analyzed as warranted by individual circumstances.
Study Scenarios: This type of study should incorporate the following scenarios, unless directed otherwise by the City Engineer:
1. Existing Condition
2. Existing Plus Project Condition
3. Cumulative (2025) Condition
4. Cumulative (2025) Plus Project Condition
3. CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PLAN TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
(CMP TIA) - For projects projected to generate more than 250 peak hour directional trips. For such project, the CMP TIA is mandated by Measure I.
Regional Traffic Analysis (CMP TIA): This type of study is much more comprehensive, focusing on the impacts over a long period. It includes all items described under the Traffic Impact Study Description. In most cases, a regional traffic analysis will need to be prepared using a computer.
