Project Efficacy
BACKGROUND:
As a part of Re-Enlist to Life's (REL) State of California Housing and Community Development (HCD) Homekey grant application, REL project principals are asking for a letter of support from the City of Twentynine Palms.
In meeting with the project principals, REL is requesting zero financial contributions nor involvement from the City. REL will work with City Planning Staff to obtain all future necessary project entitlements and approvals.
The below was taken from REL's attached executive summary:
Project Profile: Twentynine Palms Veteran Campus Executive Summary and Mission Re-Enlist to Life, a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise, is requesting a Letter of Support from the City for our proposed County lead Veteran Campus Project. Located at 605 Utah Trail on 40 acres.
The Twentynine Palms Veteran Campus is a $12.6 million Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) development designed to serve 32 justice-involved veterans annually. Managed by Re-Enlist to Life, the project utilizes a vocation-to-wellness ecosystem to provide a stable, trauma-informed environment that prevents homelessness and recidivism. The mission is rooted in the lived experience of Marine Corps veterans who served at MCAGCC Twentynine Palms. The project replaces reactive shelter models with a sustainable, veteran-led housing infrastructure.
Homekey+ requires the project be sustainable for a contracted 55 years and would not award unless the project proved to be operationally solvent without the need for additional debt, utilizing a $3.1 million upfront reserve to insulate the project from billing fluctuations.
Unified Financial and Regulatory Strategy
The project utilizes a singular $12.6 million Homekey+ request under the Prop 1 framework. By leveraging the specific regulatory bypasses available to Veteran-Owned and Operated organizations, the project achieves a zero-cost footprint. This includes a 100% Grant Match Waiver through the Behavioral Health/Veteran priority tier and the utilization of AB 2162 for Ministerial Approval, which bypasses traditional CEQA delays and public hearings. The model ensures zero debt by covering all capital construction, 15 years of operational reserves, and clinical staffing within the initial award. This 15-year reserve comes from an HCD mandate tied to our demographic of high-need veterans. This reserve is isolated from our clinical and government contract and earmarked to cover fluctuation of billing cycles at the start.
Project Budget ($12,600,000)
The budget is divided into three primary categories to ensure full lifecycle coverage of the build and operation.
Category 1: Core Development and Units ($6,400,000). This includes the procurement and delivery of 16 S2A GreenLux Model 6 specialized modular units. It covers the land acquisition for the site entered into escrow in February 2026, as well as all horizontal infrastructure including grading, utility trenching, and concrete foundation pours (Slab-on-Grade/Stem Wall).
Category 2: Project Cushion and Administration ($2,772,000). This includes a 15% Project Contingency ($1,890,000) specifically earmarked for high-desert environmental requirements such as Dark Sky compliant lighting and mandatory dust mitigation protocols. It also includes a 7% Fiscal Administration Fee ($882,000) for the Basin Wide Foundation to assist with long-term fiscal oversight and grant compliance.
Category 3: Operations and Staffing ($3,428,000). This provides full-stack funding for first-year operations, ensuring that 32 residents are supported from day one as they progress in the program. This upfront funding allows for the staffing of our high-level clinicians and caseworkers. Page 8 of 185 Revenue and Clinical Billing Summary
The project generates revenue through a multi-layered approach that prioritizes long-term stability and capital growth.
Capitalized Operating Subsidy Reserve (COSR): An upfront $3.1 million reserve secured via Homekey+ ensures 15 years of operational solvency, covering all facility maintenance and utilities independent of resident income.
Corrections and Reentry Revenue: Utilizing CDCR-STOP and AB 1229 (ARG), the project generates approximately $1,440,000 in annual operating income to cover the daily costs of housing and supporting 32 justice-involved veterans.
Clinical Service Revenue: The clinical revenue is driven by a high-touch behavioral health model. Based on the calculated billing structure of one to two groups per week and one to three one- on-one sessions per resident weekly, the project generates robust annual clinical revenue. By utilizing pre-funded salaries from the upfront clinical stack, this billing revenue is banked as unrestricted income.
Total Gross Annual Revenue is projected at approximately $3.1 million, against annual operating expenses of $1.4 million. This results in a projected annual net surplus of approximately $1.7 million, which is reinvested into the organization to fund future veteran housing initiatives, additional holistic ventures, resident outings, or additions to the facility and the remaining acreage for this site.
Post-Residency Sustainability
Re-Enlist to Life does not release residents into the community without a support plan. Through AB 1229 re-entry grant, RTL continues tracking and provides support for the “second transition” from our Veteran Clinical Ecosystem to absolute civilian autonomy. Our residents will be prepared, through our Casework team, to do this on their own. RTL believes that by supporting our former residents, with continued support of post residency, we provide a path that is stress free for the Veteran and provides contingencies for a plethora of life hurdles that may arise. The supplemental AB 1229 is earmarked for post residency services following every 12-month cycle for the Veteran Campus and is renewable at 5 million every 3 years. This grant is not included in our Revenue Summary due to it being deployed later in year 2 of operation.
Operational Integrity
The Twentynine Palms Veteran Campus stands as a zero-debt, veteran-owned asset. By combining the capital strength of Homekey+ with the consistent revenue of CDCR and specialized clinical billing, ReEnlist to Life ensures a permanent, sustainable solution for the veteran community that requires no additional funding or loans from the city or lead applicant.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This agenda item addresses the following strategic plan goals:
Goal A6.5: Foster partnership with the Marine Corps Community Services to support military quality of life programming that supports military families and encourages military veterans and retirees to live and stay in the community.
Goal D1.1: Foster partnerships with surrounding health services who can provide telehealth and digital mental health care.
Goal D1.5: Foster working partnerships with organizations that provide wraparound housing services to implement programs designed to identify, address, and eliminate root causes of homelessness. Goal D2.4: Identify City initiatives that leverage the highly technical skills of active and retired marines to foster working partnerships between the City and Marine Corps. Page 9 of 185 Helps accomplish Goal D Metrics of: Effective use of resources for physical and mental health and wellbeing for all residents, including marines and veterans.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Not applicable at this time.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could choose not to provide a letter of support.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None anticipated.

A Letter to Our Neighbors: Redefining Re-Entry
To the residents and stakeholders of San Bernardino County and Twentynine Palms, At Re-Enlist to Life, our mission is rooted in the belief that service doesn’t end when a veteran hangs up the uniform. However, we recognize that for some of our nation’s heroes, the transition back to civilian life involves overcoming significant hurdles. As we develop our 16-unit veteran campus, I want to speak directly to you about the high standards and strict eligibility requirements of the men and women who will call this community home.
Vetted by the Highest Standards
The individuals served by our program are not here by chance. Our residents have navigated the exhaustive oversight of the California Board of Parole Hearings and meet specific CDCR eligibility designations for community-based re-entry.
It is important to note that our program maintains strict exclusionary criteria to ensure the safety and harmony of our neighborhood. Under our operating guidelines and in alignment with California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) safety protocols:
• Individuals with convictions for sex offenses (pursuant to PC 290) are strictly excluded from our program.
• Individuals with recent or high-risk violent criminal histories are ineligible for residency.
To be granted parole and subsequent placement in a program like ours, an individual must demonstrate years—often decades—of rehabilitation, accountability, and psychological growth. They are vetted through exhaustive clinical evaluations and legal reviews to ensure they no longer pose a threat to public safety. When a veteran arrives at our facility, they have already proven their commitment to change to the highest authorities in the state.
A Proven Track Record of Success
Trust is built on results. In our joint experience leading and developing these specialized transition programs, we have maintained a 0% recidivism rate.
This success is not accidental. It is the result of a structured, disciplined environment that mirrors the military values our veterans once lived by. By providing stable housing, behavioral
health support through our partners at A Mindful You, and a community of peers, we ensure that our residents are not just "staying out of trouble"—they are actively contributing to the local economy and social fabric.
Neighbors, Not Statistics
Our residents are your neighbors. They are the individuals you will see at the grocery store, at community events, and in local places of worship. They are skilled, disciplined, and eager to prove their worth to the community that sits right next to the Marine Corps installation many of them once called home.
We ask that you view them as we do: as vetted, capable individuals who have earned their place back in society and are now focused on a singular mission—successfully re-enlisting in the community.
Thank you for your support as we work to ensure no veteran is left behind.
Respectfully,
Re-Enlist to Life

RE: Letter of Support for Re-Enlist to Life – Twentynine Palms Veteran Housing Project
Dear Homekey+ Program Review Team:
The Re-Enlist to Life Twentynine Palms Veteran Housing Project warrants strong support.
This proposal would deliver a 16-unit modular permanent supportive housing campus, providing 32 beds alongside on-site clinical services tailored to veterans in the High Desert. The need for stable housing paired with accessible care remains urgent, particularly for those who have served and are navigating complex health and housing challenges.
This project stands out for its readiness and thoughtful design. Plans incorporate factorybuilt housing standards approved by the state, meet Title 24 energy requirements, and utilize modular construction to move more quickly from concept to completion. Just as important, the service model is built around long-term stability, with care that reflects the unique needs of the veteran community.
Efforts like this reflect the kind of practical, results-driven approach the Homekey+ program was designed to support. Expanding housing options while integrating meaningful services will make a measurable difference for veterans in Twentynine Palms and across the region.

To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great pleasure and a deep sense of professional respect that I recommend Robert “Bobby” Embry. Having served as the Executive Director of Re-entry Programming for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), I have had the unique opportunity to work alongside Bobby in multiple high-stakes and highly complex environments, from the restricted tiers of California’s correctional institutions to the nuanced and demanding landscape of transitional housing and re-entry systems.
Our professional relationship began in the field, where we both held CDCR statewide clearance passes, granting us access to institutions across California. In these settings, we collaborated in the facilitation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) programming for incarcerated individuals. In these environments, Bobby consistently demonstrated strong leadership, emotional intelligence, and the ability to establish credibility in highly volatile settings.
He has a rare capacity to maintain authority while simultaneously creating space for accountability, reflection, and behavioral transformation.
During our time working together, Bobby was also instrumental in the development and launch of the first-ever Veterans Hub at Correctional Training Facility (CTF) in Soledad Prison. He and I built this initiative from the ground up while simultaneously continuing to facilitate programming for incarcerated individuals. This work was done alongside his responsibilities in managing grants and contracts, reflecting his exceptional ability to balance operational leadership, program development, and administrative oversight at a high level.
As our work evolved, Bobby transitioned into the role of Director of Grants and Contracts, where we worked closely together managing a significant portfolio of state and federal funding agreements. During this time, I had the opportunity to directly observe his exceptional organizational skillset, attention to compliance, and commitment to operational excellence. The management of these contracts required precision, fiscal responsibility, and the ability to coordinate across multiple agencies and stakeholders, areas in which Bobby consistently performed at a high level.
One of the most defining and admirable aspects of Bobby’s professional journey is his unwavering dedication to serving veterans. He has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to supporting individuals in the critical transitional phase of re-entry, particularly
those who have served in the military. His work in securing and supporting transitional housing for paroled veterans has had a meaningful and measurable impact in reducing recidivism and improving long-term stability outcomes. Bobby understands that successful re-entry is not only about release from custody, but about ensuring individuals have access to housing, structure, dignity, and community support upon return.
In my current work with Freedom Through Liberation, I continue to witness the urgent need for the kind of leadership Bobby represents, mission-driven, detail-oriented, and grounded in lived experience and operational execution. He is a professional of high integrity, strong work ethic, and the ability to bridge strategic planning with direct implementation in the field.
I recommend him without reservation for any role or endeavor that requires leadership, expertise in contract and program management, and a deep commitment to service and systems-level impact.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern,
I’m writing to provide an operational assessment for the Twentynine Palms Veteran Campus. Based on my experience as a former Executive Director of Re-entry Programming with CDCR, I can confidently speak to both the need for this type of program and the viability of a 32- resident facility.
There is a real and ongoing gap when it comes to veteran-specific reentry housing, and this project directly addresses that. A big part of what makes this work is the reentry pipeline we’ve built through the experience and leadership of Robert “Bobby” Embry. His background as a Director of Grants and Contracts within CDCR gives him a strong understanding of how releases happen and what it takes to move people successfully from custody into stable placements.
Together, we’ve developed a “warm hand-off” approach, meaning veterans are connected to housing and support immediately upon release, rather than being left to figure things out on their own. This kind of transition is critical. It reduces the risk of homelessness and sets a much stronger foundation for long-term stability.
Based on the number of veterans currently in the system and the limited availability of programs designed specifically for them, I fully expect this facility to fill quickly. In all honesty, I anticipate it reaching capacity right away and maintaining a steady waitlist. When veterans are preparing for release and going before the board, they are actively looking for safe, structured placements, and this campus will be a strong option they will want to choose.
The Twentynine Palms Veteran Campus is not just another housing project; it’s something that meets a very real need within the reentry system. I have full confidence that demand will continue to exceed capacity, and that this program will play an important role in supporting veterans as they transition back into the community.
Please feel free to reach out if you need any additional information.
Sincerely,

ATTACHMENTS:

• 2nd Resolution 1st meeting
BACKGROUND:
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 permits the installation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping and lighting through annual special assessments on real property benefiting from the improvement. The purpose of the assessment district is to provide a funding mechanism for the ongoing maintenance of the improvements in the public right-of-way including parkway landscaping, retention basin landscaping, irrigation systems, street furniture, public art, perimeter block walls, street lighting, and other related improvements. Currently, there are two locations within the Twentynine Palms Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District #1: L-1, Tract 16729, and L-2, The Historic Plaza.
For levying annual assessments, it is necessary that the City Council adopt the initial Resolution describing improvements and ordering the engineer to file a report. (Note: The Engineer’s Report has
already been filed and is made a part of this agenda item for City Council’s review and approval).
Second, the City Council should approve the report as filed, or the City Council may modify and then approve the report. Third, adopt a Resolution of intention to levy assessments and set a date for a Public Hearing. The Resolution of Intention declares to the affected property owners that the City intends to levy and collect assessments within the district for the next fiscal year. The Resolution also gives notice of the time and place for the Public Hearing of the proposed assessment.
The annual assessments for each annexed territory or location of the Assessment District are indicated in Part B of the Engineer’s Report. There is no increase in the assessments from the original amounts set up for this district for this fiscal year. The assessment district was originally set up with the ability to raise the annual assessments with an escalation factor for increased maintenance costs due to inflation, without going to the residents/property owners for a vote on the increase. However, it is not proposed to increase the assessments for inflation for FY 26/27.
For L-1, its maintenance cost last year was $19,530 with a $2,417 deficit. This location has a substantial reserve and it is anticipated that maintenance costs will be similar next fiscal year because there are no plans to upgrade or replace any major landscaping component. It is not recommended to increase the assessment for L-1 at this time.
The recommended procedures comply with all requirements of Proposition 218. The assessment is for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and will be placed on the tax rolls in August of 2026. The City Council may approve the attached report as submitted or amend the report prior to approval.

FOR MEETING: May 26 2026
SUBJECT: Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) Amendment 9.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council approve San Bernardino County Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) Amendment 9 for the period ending June 30, 2035.
The amendment changes the expiration term of the WDA to June 30, 2035, adjusts the WDA Contract Rate to be equal to 83% of the gate rate, and eliminates the annual adjustment calculations. The WDA rate will be $41.08 per ton, effective July 1, 2026.

ATTACHMENTS:
• CON-PW-Waste 6-23-26
Amendment to Revenue
Generating WDAs - Twentynine
Palms
BACKGROUND:
The current agreement expires June 2026. Amendment 9 extends the term 9 years to June 30, 2035, adjust the WDA Contract Rate to be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate, and eliminate the provision for annual adjustments. The WDA rate will be $41.08 per ton, effective July 1, 2026.
The WDAs were originally 15-year agreements with 16 cities and towns within the County of San Bernardino that obligated the cities and towns to deliver their controllable waste to the County’s Disposal System in exchange for a reduced contract rate for disposal at a designated disposal facility for each city and town. In 1997, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the first WDAs with the Cities of Rialto, San Bernardino, and Victorville. Over the following years, a total of 16 cities and towns entered into WDAs, with Adelanto being the last city to sign in 2004.
In December 2012, the City of San Bernardino’s WDA expired and their City Council took action not to extend its WDA. On December 18, 2012 (Item No. 62), the Board approved extending the end date of 14 WDAs to June 30, 2016, under the same terms and conditions. The City of Adelanto’s WDA did not expire until April 26, 2019. On June 14, 2016 (Item No. 93), the Board approved extending the WDAs for all of the WDA cities and towns to June 30, 2021. On June 22, 2021 (Item No. 62), the Board approved extending the term of the agreements to June 30, 2026, and reset the WDA Contract Rate to $38.00 per ton, adjusted annually according to the agreements. This ninth amendment, if approved by the Board of Supervisors, would cap the WDA contract rate at 83% of the gate rate, and extend the term of the agreement 9 years, and eliminate automatic annual rate adjustments.
Staff will need to constantly monitor County Board meetings to ensure there should be any effort to increase the gate rate to subsidize out-of-county waste streams or to compromise our priority access to disposal capacity, we can partner with other JPA agencies to protest.
These recommended actions support the goals and objectives of the County and Chief Executive Office by operating in a fiscally responsible and business-like manner and working with other agencies by ensuring the continued waste stream from the WDA cities/towns to the County’s Waste Disposal System.
The following are the previous eight amendments to the agreement:
Amendment 1 to the WDA was to implement the "Article 19 Solid Waste" component of the County's waste management system and define the City's share of that revenue; Amendment 2 to the WDA increased the annual maximum limits of "Article 19 Solid Waste" in the County landfill system;
Amendment 3 to the WDA allowed the County to charge the fee of $10.00 per ton (prorated) for identified controllable waste of the City (e.g. roll off container trucks and other County/City vehicles such as pickups and dump trucks) and have such waste subject to being processed in the recycling program; Amendment 4 to the WDA allowed the County to calculate the annual cost of living adjustment earlier in the calendar year;
Amendment 5 to the WDA extended the end date of the WDA to June 30, 2026; Amendment 6 to the WDA extended the end date of the WDA to June 30, 2021, applied an annual fixed WDA renewal discount adjustment of $0.82 per ton for the term of the WDA, and allowed the County to enter into agreements to accept in-County waste from non-WDA users of the Disposal System at a rate lower than the WDA Contract Rate in exchange for sharing the net revenue generated from those agreements.
Amendment 7 to the WDA allowed for an increase to disposal rates tied to CPI without a cap. This amendment also extended the agreement through June 30, 2026. Amendment 8 to the WDA capped the WDA Contract Rate in order to maintain a 15% buffer between the WDA Contract Rate and the County’s posted gate rate.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not Applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Not Applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could not approve the Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA).
FISCAL IMPACT:
No significant immediate impact, savings may be achieved over the course of the agreement.
AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO THE
WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT NO. 98-642
On July 28, 1998, the City of Twentynine Palms (“City”) and the County of San Bernardino (“County”) entered into a Waste Disposal Agreement (“WDA”). The parties hereby amend the WDA, on the Effective Date as provided herein, by their respective execution of this agreement (hereinafter “Amendment’).
Recitals
A. The parties have previously entered into the following amendments to the WDA. Amendment No. 1 to the WDA was to implement the “Article 19 Solid Waste” component of the County’s waste management system and define the City’s share of that revenue. Amendment No. 2 was to increase the annual maximum limits of “Article 19 Solid Waste” in the County landfill system. Amendment No. 3 allowed the County to charge the fee of $10.00 per ton (prorated) for identified controllable waste of the City (e.g., roll off container trucks and other County/City vehicles such as pickups and dump trucks) and have such waste subject to being processed in the recycling program. Amendment No. 4 allowed the County to calculate the annual cost of living adjustment earlier in the calendar year. Amendment No. 5 extended the end date of the WDA to June 30, 2016. Amendment No. 6 extended the term of the WDA to June 30, 2021, applied an annual fixed WDA renewal discount adjustment of $0.82 per ton for the term of the WDA, and allowed the County to enter into agreements to accept in-County waste from non-WDA users of the Disposal System at a rate lower than the WDA Contract Rate in exchange for sharing the net revenue generated from those agreements. Amendment No. 7 reset the WDA Contract Rate and extended the term for five (5) years to June 30, 2026. Amendment No. 8 capped the WDA Contract Rate in order to maintain a 15% buffer between the WDA Contract Rate and the County’s posted gate rate.
B. In connection with the ongoing administration of the WDA, the parties have determined it is now in their best interests to extend the term 9 years to June 30, 2035, adjust the WDA Contract Rate to be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate, and eliminate the provision for annual adjustments.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the forgoing recitals and the following covenants and promises the Parties agree as follows:
1. Section 4.2, entitled “CONTRACT RATE” is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 4.2 CONTRACT RATE. Effective July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter during the term of the Agreement, the Contract Rate shall be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate effective that July 1st. For July 1, 2026, the County’s posted gate rate is $49.49 ($61.49 minus the $12 CDSDP fee); therefore, the WDA Rate, effective July 1, 2026, will be $41.08 per ton.
Please note that, due to timing, in future years where the gate rate is recommended to be increased, the WDA rate notification letter may be delayed until final approval of the gate rate by the Board of Supervisors.
2. Section 5.2, entitled “CITY CONVENIENCE TERMINATION” is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 5.2 CITY CONVENIENCE TERMINATION. In exchange for adjusting the WDA Contract Rate to be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate, the City agrees to commit to remaining a WDA City, with no provision to terminate without cause, for the remainder of the WDA Term.
3. Section 6.1, entitled “EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM”, paragraph (A) Term, is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 6.1. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM. (A) Term. This Agreement shall become effective, shall be in full force and effect and shall be legally binding upon the City and the County from the Contract
Date and shall continue in full force and effect until June 30, 2035, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.
4. Effective Date.

• Resolution No. 26-__
• Exhibit A
BACKGROUND:
Proposition 4, co-sponsored by Proposition 13 author Paul Gann and commonly known as the Gann initiative, was passed by California voters in 1979. It established Article XIIIB of the State Constitution and set limits on the growth of most appropriations from tax sources made by the State and affected local government entities. Most local governments and districts are subject to the limit. Starting in the 1980-81 Fiscal Year, Article XIIIB limited annual growth of applicable appropriation levels to calculated percentages, above the previous year's level, based upon regional population growth and the rate of inflation as measured by the lower of the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, CPI, or California's per capita personal income.
Each year, the City is required to establish a limit on the amount of General Fund monies it may spend. The amount is determined by calculations based on the population and economic changes of the prior calendar year.
Based on the attached calculations, the appropriation limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27 should be set at $87,524,044, which is above the City's projected appropriations for FY 2026-27.

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2026, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2026–27. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the factors to calculate the 2026–27 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2026. Please note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised.
The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment
May 2026
Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2026–27 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2026-27 4.95
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2026–27 appropriation limit.
2026–27:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.95 percent
Population Change = -0.14 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.95 + 100 = 1.0495 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.14 + 100 = 0.9986
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2026–27: 1.0495 x 0.9986 = 1.0480

Twentynine Palms LE Service
FY26-27 AGR94-525 A36
BACKGROUND:
The City contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff for law enforcement services. The contract provides for two patrol deputies at all times in addition to one traffic officer (40 hours per week), a School Resource Officer (SRO), two volunteer citizen patrol units, two detectives and related support services. The juvenile officer works throughout the City, not primarily at the schools. Cost for these services will be $6,220,995 for Fiscal Year 2026-
27. However, the total budget for law enforcement services is $6,740,026, which includes incidental costs such as vehicle operation and maintenance, department supplies, and overtime as stated below.
The SRO will cost the City $263,674 in FY 2026-27; however, this position is only spending approximately 50% of his/her hours for school related activities. Morongo Unified School District (MUSD) will provide the City with $131,837 towards this service, which is 50% of the position's direct cost. The other 50% of the deputy’s time is spent on patrol related functions, on a priority basis. The following are the services provided by the SRO:
Direct calls for service from a school;
Clean Sweep citation processing;
Investigations involving students within the school system; Truancy;
Graffiti Investigation.
In addition, the City has budgeted for the following expenses:
Overtime: $85,000
Cal ID Program: $32,031 Page 55 of 185
Vehicle Maintenance and Operation: $200,000
Special Department Supplies: $5,000
Seized Assets Law Enforcement costs: $2,000
SLEF (Supplemental Local Law Enforcement Service Funds): $195,000 The Sheriff's contract for FY 2026-27 is 7.4% higher compared to last year's contract, or $429,052. Given the significant increase in last year's amended contract, the City did not anticipate a similar increase for FY 2026-27, and under budgeted the contract by $293,511. The budget for FY 2026-27 will be revised accordingly. In addition to personnel cost increases, the County also received higher insurance and personnel liability and bonding premiums. The preliminary personnel and liability premium allocated to the City was $624,411, or $246,226 higher compared to the prior year. Similar increases are expected in the upcoming years. To assist contract cities pay a portion of their allocated premium, the County requested a one-time subsidy from its Board, which reduced the City's allocated premium to $498,375.
The services provided by the Sheriff’s Department are considered to be excellent. The City has the advantage of a well-trained force with many specialized teams that can be brought into the City as needed (such as the homicide investigation team) and at a reasonable cost. Approval of the contract will provide for a continuation of services.
For a detailed list of services provided under this contract, please refer to Schedule A in the attached contract.

BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved Amendment #4 in February 2025 to Dokken’s design and contract administration contract. Amendment #4 ($325,000) not only covers construction administration for the bridge and the channel portion of the project, it also covers additional cost incurred by the County Flood Control District's (District) request to change the original channel design, estimated to be $115,000. This request is not reimbursable by the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) or the agreement with the District to fund the construction phase of the channel. This change in design caused the need to split the Bridge/Channel Project into two separate construction projects while Dokken redesigned the channel design. The extra work and cost required for the design change to the channel and splitting the project into two constriction contracts are not reimbursable through the HBP funding nor is the District claiming responsibility for these revisions and the associated costs increases.
Though, much of the Amendment #4, $325,000 is reimbursable through HBP funding and the District’s agreement for the channel construction administration.
This item for City Council's approval is an additional Amendment #5, $104,000 for additional design costs associated with the 3rd and final redesign of the Channel. After evaluation the redesign of the channel In December 2025, it was determined by the District that the redesign, from of the original channel, would not Page 61 of 185 function nor meet the criteria of stormwater flood conditions that matched the design of the bridge. It was determined that a smooth bottom channel, in-lieu of the two variations of the rock-lined channel, (the original design and the initial redesign), would be the best and should be the final design for the project.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
N/A
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The amendment #4 includes tasks to provide permit applications for the Bridge and the Channel to obtain Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) to ensure preservation of water quality and to mitigate for loss of waters, both temporary and permanent.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could choose not to approve the amendment #5 or the Amendment to the SBCTA agreement to increase the funding levels for the channel redesign.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff has contacted San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to request additional funds to cover the non-reimbursable expenses that are estimated to be $115,000 plus 10% contingencies for amendment #4 and $104,000 plus 10% contingencies for amendment #5. SBCTA Staff has recommended approval of our request.
Attached is the amended agreement to increase the construction and administration cost amounts utilizing available Measure I, Major Local Highways Program (MLHP) funds to cover these extra costs.

RE: Split Rock Avenue Bridge
Federal Aid Project Number: NBIL (533), STIP 209-5000-3189 Amendment No. 5 Request: Budget Adjustment for Channel Redesign Dear Mr. Pedersen,
The purpose of this letter is to request Amendment No. 5 to the City’s Agreement with Dokken Engineering for engineering and environmental services for the Split Rock Avenue Bridge project.
This amendment is requested to address the costs and time associated with comments from San Bernardino Flood Control District (SBCFCD) providing updated direction on the design of the Twentynine Palms Channel (subsequent to their direction of the channel redesign in December 2024), along with updating Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) permitting for work within waters of the State in compliance with the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. Additionally, the Lake and Streambed Alteration permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW section 1602 permit) must be submitted per the change in channel design to account for the SBCFCD requested energy dissipation system.
On August 1, 2024, Dokken Engineering and the City of Twentynine Palms met with representatives from the State Board. In this meeting, the State Board determined that WDR permitting would be required for the project. SBCFCD provided direction to split the original project into two separate projects to expedite the SBCFCD Encroachment Permit approval for the construction of the Split Rock Avenue Bridge and approach roadway improvements: The 1st project will construct the Split Rock Avenue Bridge and approach roadway improvements, along with channel grading directly below the proposed Split Rock Avenue Bridge. The 2nd project will construct the Twentynine Palms channel from approximately 400 feet upstream of the bridge (from the existing Donnel Basin exit) to approximately 300 feet downstream of the bridge. As the original project will be split into two separate projects, two separate SBCFCD Encroachment Permits, and two separate WDR permits are required to facilitate project phasing. A General Order WDR permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board along with an Encroachment Permit from SBCFCD were obtained on June 13, 2025 and September 23, 2025, respectively in support of the 1st project. This 1st project was successfully advertised and awarded and is currently under construction.
Dokken Engineering submitted updated Plans and supporting Bridge Design Hydraulics Study on July 12, 2024 to address all outstanding SBCFCD comments on the project design elements. New leadership at SBCFCD requested that all grouted rock slope protection be ¼ Ton size, revising their previous direction and approval of three separate rock sizes. Upon further review of the design hydraulics, Dokken Engineering determined that ¼ Ton grouted rock slope protection would be
Split Rock Avenue Bridge Project – Federal Aid Project Number: NBIL (533) Amendment No. 5 Request: Budget Adjustment and Time Extension 2 inadequate to support the interim water discharge velocities coming out of the existing Donnell Basin, and provided backup calculations and design methodology to SBCFCD for review. The City and Dokken Engineering met with SBCFCD on 12/18/2024 to discuss the channel rock slope protection.
During this meeting, SBCFCD directed the Project Team to revise the previously directed steep channel grading coming from the existing Donnell Basin to a roughly 10% gradient or use an energy dissipation system reduce water discharge velocities and allow for all ¼ ton grouted rock slope protection.
On December 17, 2025, Dokken Engineering and the City of Twentynine Palms met with SBCFCD to present their analysis findings, including an exhibit to show proposed improvements using an energy dissipation system, as the gradient solution would not lower water discharge velocities enough to facilitate a ¼ ton grouted rock design along the entire Twentynine Palms Channel. At this meeting, SBCFCD provided new direction for use of a concrete lined channel design with an energy dissipation system, noting that SBCFCD would no longer allow a grouted rock lined channel. During the meeting, the Project Team conferred with Nancy Sansonetti from San Bernardino County Department of Public Works – Environmental Management Division to confirm that an uncirculated Addendum to the existing Donnel Basin IS/MND can be implemented for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance. New Project Plans and supporting Hydraulics Analysis and Report supporting the new direction will be required, along with the beforementioned CDFW 1602 permit.
This amendment is needed to accommodate for the added project management and administration needs as well as engineering and environmental permitting services resulting from these changes in project requirements and design direction. Following is a description of the services necessary to complete the project. This assumes a time extension through December 2027, with advertisement for construction of Project 2 anticipated in September 2026. The outline is consistent with the contract task numbering. Information is provided only for new and amended tasks.
CONTRACT TASK BUDGET
TASK 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT $ 8,000
After Dokken and the City submitted the Final PS&E Package (including a Caltransapproved PS&E Certification), SBCFCD and the State Board required new design direction beyond the original and revised contract scope to obtain final permits for construction. These changes require Dokken to reevaluate the project design, estimate, and specifications, and split the design package into two separate projects.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of Dokken’s control, there has been scope changes to the project that have caused the level of project management to increase.
The budget adjustment includes resources necessary for additional meetings, coordination, administering the contract, and general project management. The budget adjustment accounts for the extra effort required to manage and administer the design meetings and changes for this amendment scope.
Split Rock Avenue Bridge Project – Federal Aid Project Number: NBIL (533) Amendment No. 5 Request: Budget Adjustment and Time Extension 3 CONTRACT TASK BUDGET
TASK 6.C – BRIDGE DESIGN HYDRAULICS REPORT $ 24,000
After Dokken and the City met with SBCFCD in December 2025, SBCFCD required new design direction beyond the original and revised contract scope to obtain final permits for construction of Project 2. These changes require Dokken to reevaluate the project design, estimate, and specifications for Project 2.
This budget adjustment accounts for updating and reevaluating the hydraulic modeling, summarizing new recommendations for a concrete-lined channel gradient, energy dissipators, and cutoff walls. The report will incorporate SBCFCD’s requested changes and will be submitted with responses to SBCFCD comments.
TASK 10.7 – PREPARE LAKE AND STREAMBED ALTERATION PERMIT APPLICATION (CDFW 1602) FOR ENERGY DISSIPATORS
$ 10,000
After Dokken and the City met with SBCFCD in December 2025, SBCFCD required new design direction beyond the original and revised contract scope to obtain final permits for construction of Project 2. These changes require Dokken to reevaluate the project design, estimate, and specifications, and reevaluate the State Waters permitting system for Project 2.
As Project 2 will add an energy dissipation system, a separate Lake and Streambed Alteration Permit (CDFW 1602 permit) will be required (which is in addition to the previously obtained CDFW 1602 for the channel lining) to cover this system in the project description.
This budget adjustment accounts for preparing and obtaining the additional CDFW 1602 permit. Dokken will prepare the CDFW 1602 permit applications and submit to the City and SBCFCD for review and comment. Once approved, Dokken will submit the applications to the CDFW and coordinate with staff regarding questions or revisions to the applications. Dokken will review the provided permit to ensure it does not contain mistakes and that proposed stipulations are implementable. The City will be responsible for all CDFW application fees.
TASK 10.8 – PREPARE ADDENDUM TO DONNELL BASIN INITIAL
STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (IS/MND) CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DOCUMENT
After Dokken and the City met with SBCFCD in December 2025, SBCFCD required new design direction beyond the original and revised contract scope to obtain final permits for construction of Project 2. These changes require an addendum to the County’s Donnell Basin CEQA IS/MND document. While the County prepared the CEQA document, Dokken Engineering will provide the Addendum to update the project description regarding the proposed work within the channel along with justification as to why public recirculation or a supplemental IS/MND is not required.
The County would then take this Addendum to their Board of Supervisors, and an additional Notice of Determination would be required.
$6,000
Split Rock Avenue Bridge Project – Federal Aid Project Number: NBIL (533) Amendment No. 5 Request: Budget Adjustment and Time Extension 4 CONTRACT TASK BUDGET
This budget adjustment accounts for preparing the Addendum to the Donnell Basin CEQA IS/MND document to submit to the City and SBCFCD for review and comment.
Once approved, Dokken will assist the City to file a Notice of Determination. The City will be responsible for any application or filing fees.
TASK 13.B – FINAL ROADWAY DESIGN $ 40,000
After Dokken and the City submitted the Final PS&E Package (including a Caltransapproved PS&E Certification), SBCFCD required new design direction beyond the original contract scope to obtain final permits for construction. These changes require Dokken to reevaluate the project design, estimate, and specifications for Project 2.
This budget adjustment will allow for the unanticipated changes to be included into the new design of the Twentynine Palms Channel (Project 2) for Final Plans submittals.
TASK 13.C – FINAL QUANTITIES AND ESTIMATE $ 4,000
After Dokken and the City submitted the Final PS&E Package (including a Caltransapproved PS&E Certification), SBCFCD required new design direction beyond the original contract scope to obtain final permits for construction. These changes require Dokken to reevaluate the project design, estimate, and specifications for Project 2.
This budget adjustment will allow for the unanticipated changes to be into the new design of the Twentynine Palms Channel (Project 2) for Final Estimate and Quantities submittals.
TASK 13.D – FINAL SPECIFICATIONS $ 12,000
After Dokken and the City submitted the Final PS&E Package (including a Caltransapproved PS&E Certification), SBCFCD required new design direction beyond the original contract scope to obtain final permits for construction. These changes require Dokken to reevaluate the project design, estimate, and specifications for Project 2.
This budget adjustment will allow for the unanticipated changes to be into the new design of the Twentynine Palms Channel (Project 2) for Final Specifications and Contract Documents submittals.

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.

Budget Adoption
BACKGROUND:
The Finance Director is presenting the proposed revisions to the General Fund budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-
27. FY 2026-27 is the second year of the two-year budget for the General Fund and the City's other funds including the Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds, Project Phoenix Funds and the Sewer Fund. The original adopted two-year budget can be found on the City's website. A Public Hearing will be scheduled for June 23, 2026 to review and adopt the City's other fund budgets. 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 San Bernardino County (Property Tax), HDL (Sales Tax), and local trends (Transient Occupancy Tax - TOT and building/planning permits/fees). TOT and interest revenue trends are the most difficult to predict, primarily due to the unpredictability of the current economic market. The proposed expenditure revisions were first established by utilizing historical spending trends by 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, Councilmember 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 $9K. 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 property 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 property 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 property 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 FY 2025-26 have increased by 7.5% compared to the same period in the prior FY. In past years, the City had taken a conservative approach when budgeting for TOT due to the unpredictability in the economic market. The conservative TOT projections also provided the City with a safety net for unexpected costs that arose during a given year. Given the continuous increase in operating costs, TOT projections were increased from $1.9M to $2.0M, which is more in line with prior years actuals. Due to favorable investment yields, interest income was also increased by $80K for FY 2026-27.
Expenditures:
Expenditures in the original adopted budget were approved for $15.2M. Staff is proposing a revision to that budget in the amount of $218K, not including transfers out. The main significant difference from the preliminary budget presented to this City Council on April 26, 2026, is the cost of the Sheriff's contract. The final proposal for the Sheriff's contract came in 7.4% higher over the prior fiscal year. This equates to an increase of $429K. The main reason for the increase is higher insurance and liability premiums. The preliminary proposal presented to the City included a 10% increase in the overall contract, which was mainly driven by an increase of $293K in insurance and personnel liability and bonding premiums. The County approved a one-time subsidy to help contract cities with the unexpected higher premiums for FY 2026-27, reducing the City's premium allocation by $126K.
Other significant revisions from the original budget by department include:
City Council: At the time the original two-year budget was adopted, the increase in Councilmember compensation was projected to take effect January 2026. Due to delays in the process, the new monthly
rate of $700 per Councilmember is not projected to take effect until January 2027, which is only half of the fiscal year. Therefore, the salaries and benefits in the City Council department were reduced by $28K. Non-departmental: The main changes in the non-departmental budget include a reduction of $103K in liability and property insurance costs driven by lower premiums than previously anticipated; an increase of $160K in the prefunding of the City's pension Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL); and an increase of $130K in proposed transfers out. The last two items will be discussed in more detail later. Code Enforcement: program costs and legal fees associated with dangerous building abatements were increased by $26K.
Community Services/Parks: The decrease of $170K in these departments is mainly driven by 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.
Transfers In/Out:
Transfers in from other funds to the General Fund are proposed at $47K for FY 2026-27. These transfers are intended to fund a portion of the administrative costs associated with managing the following funds: Measure I, Gas Tax, and Successor Agency.
Staff proposes a total of $282K in transfers out from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund for the following purposes:
1. $160K for self-funding
2. $50K for playground equipment
3. $40K for project management of CDBG project
4. $15K for dump truck needed by the Parks maintenance crew
5. $17K to fund the future acquisition of a new Street Sweeper. The City currently receives $120K from Burrtec for street sweeping related services, any unspent funds are put aside to fund the future acquisition of a street sweeper. Street sweeping costs are recorded under subdepartment 01 40 42 – PW Street Sweeping.
General Fund position:
The City of Twentynine Palms anticipates having $12.8M in reserves at the end of FY 2026-27. Approximately, 78%, or $12.0M, 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 also recommends drawing $355K from the General Fund reserves for the following purposes:
1. $200K for additional prefunding of the City's pension UAL. The City’s required UAL contribution is projected to be $607K in FY 2031-32. On the other hand, the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability is currently overfunded by 40%. To help stabilize future pension contributions, a reimbursement of $200K will be requested from the OPEB Trust account in FY 2025-26, which will be put into the General Fund reserves to start prefunding the City’s pension liability starting in FY 2026-27.
2. $25K for consulting services to conduct a full cost allocation plan and a comprehensive user fee study. It is best practice to conduct a fee study every five years. The current City fee schedule was adopted in 2021.
3. $50K for playground equipment (this item is the same as the transfer out mentioned above)
4. $40K for project management of CDBG project. CDBG grants do not cover project management costs (this item is the same as the transfer out mentioned above).
5. $15K for dump truck needed by the Parks maintenance crew. (this item is the same as the transfer out mentioned above).
6. $25K Sewer Fee study. To be discuss in more detail during the Sewer Fund presentation.
Additional relevant budget revisions are as follows:
City’s user Fees: Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 3.1% applied. Page 85 of 185 Wages: CPI of 3.1% applied.
Liability and property insurance: 5-20% increase over FY 2025-26 actuals.
Joint Powers Authority for the San Bernardino Regional Housing Trust: $30K for membership dues. Actual cost ranges between $10K to $30K in the first year of membership. Membership dues by the third year are expected to be in the range of $25K to $40K.
Youth Council: Increased from $3K to $6K.
Public Works (PW) Wages & Benefits: The General Fund will continue to absorb PW’s wages and benefits previously allocated to the Gas Tax fund as revenues from this source continue to decline.
Contributions to non-profits: Reduced from $75K to $50K Events: The budgets for Juneteenth and the JT 55 Ride were eliminated.

Schedule FY 26-27
BACKGROUND:
On May 26, 2020, the City Council approved a new fee schedule that was developed with the assistance of Willdan, the City's consultant. This fee schedule has been in use for the last six years. City Staff applied a CPI increase of 3.1% to all the fees, with the exception of Solar Energy Fees, the sewer fee, Development Impact Fees, and other State/County mandated fees, to maintain the cost of providing these services. In the Transportation Impact Fee Study, Willdan recommended that the City uses the Engineering News Record's Construction Cost Index to periodically adjust for inflation the Development Impact Fees (DIF) in the Planning department. The DIF fees were increased by 2.67% based on the change in the Engineering News Record's Construction Cost Index from April 2025 to April 2026.
In addition to the CPI changes mentioned above, the Citywide User Fee schedule was updated as follows:
Added Fees (Highlighted in green)
Finance/Planning:
Ancillary Activities, Businesses, and Entertainment Fees: As established and adopted via Ordinance No. 327.
As approved by City Council on January 27, 2026, ancillary license fees would be the same as the fee for an initial business license, and when renewed, the same for annual business license renewal.
If a land use permit is needed for ancillary activities, provided that any new proposed ancillary business is located entirely within the physical constraints of another business, then the second business may be permitted with a lower-level of land use approval than would otherwise be approved at the next lower level of land use permit.
Code Enforcement:
Ancillary Activities, Businesses, and Entertainment Violations: As approved by City Council on January 27, 2026, penalties for ancillary activities, businesses, and entertainment violations will be imposed as follows:
Initial citation - a fine of up to $250;
Second citation - a fine of $500 and suspension of the license; Third citation - a fine of $1,000 and revocation on the license.
Amended Fees (Highlighted in yellow)
Parks & Rec:
Adult Sports: The fees for adult sports were changed from a per team rate to a per player rate to help streamline team registrations and reduce the risk of late or missing payments. The adult sports fee would have been $493 per team for FY 2026-27. On average, each team is comprised of about 12 players; therefore, the proposed fee per player is $41 ($493/12). Youth sports players are provided uniforms for each sport they enroll in, hence the higher rate per player compared to adult sports players.
Summer Day Camp Program: The description was revised from a ten-week program to a nine-week program to align the program with Morongo Unified School District's summer schedule.
Gymnasium Cleaning Deposit: The fee was revised from $144 to $155 to be in line with the cleaning fee for other facility rentals since the gym is the larger in size compared to other facility rentals.
Planning:
VHR Appeal Fee: The fee was reinstated by City Council on August 24, 2021; unfortunately, this fee was inadvertently removed from the schedule in FY 2024-25.
Engineering:
Inspection Fees for public road improvements: The fee was amended many years ago from 1% to 2% of a project's valuation to align with industry standards; however, the fee schedule was not amended accordingly.
The proposed fee schedule will now reflect the correct valuation percentage.
Law Enforcement:
Vehicle Tow Fee: With higher fuel and labor costs nationwide, Staff deemed appropriate to increase the vehicle tow fee from $48 to $100 to keep up with rising costs. The City has not increased this fee in over six years. Furthermore, the fee is relatively lower compared to other cities in California as shown on the list below:
San Bernardino - $349
Town of Yucca Valley - $100
Colton $150 - $250
Rialto - $216.80
Redlands - $175-$299
County Sheriff - $155
Rancho Cucamonga - $190
Montclair - $150
Pursuant Proposition 218, 1) rates must be based upon the proportionate cost of providing the service and not exceed the cost of providing the service; 2) rates must be fair and equitable; and 3) a rate payer cannot subsidize another rate payer. The recommended fees identified in the Master Fee schedule are either at or less than full cost recovery. The table below shows the projected expenditures by department and their corresponding program revenue for FY 2026-27. As shown on this table, the program revenue is much lower than the department expenditures, which does not include other administrative costs such as City Administration, Human Resources, IT, Finance, among others.

ATTACHMENTS:
• Ordinance No. ___ Amending
Council Salaries
BACKGROUND:
This is a follow up to the March 10, 2026, City Council meeting where the City Council gave direction to Staff to bring back an ordinance that makes the City Council salary $700 per month.
History:
During the December 10, 2024, City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Klink pointed out that the Twentynine Palms City Council has not had a salary increase in 22 years. Prior to stepping off the City Council, Mayor Pro Tem Klink requested City Staff bring forward, at a future City Council meeting, a proposal recommending an increase to City Council salaries. This proposal should allow the City Council the option of bringing their monthly salary into compliance with current State guidelines and into parity with similarly sized cities.
The City Council’s current $465.00 monthly salary was established via Ordinance on December 10, 2002 (Twentynine Palms Municipal Code “TPMC” § 2.04.020). Over the last 24 years, the City Council has received no salary increases. Given the timing of Mayor Pro Tem Klink’s request (the night of a new Page 181 of 185 City Council term), any salary increase will not become effective until a new City Council term begins. In this case, any salary increases voted on tonight (May 26, 2026) will not become effective until the City Council certifies the November 2026 election results during the December 2026 City Council meeting.
Analysis:
On January 1, 2024, the State Legislature adopted Senate Bill 329 (“SB 329”). SB 329 as reflected in Government Code Section -36516(a)(2), provides three mechanisms to determine City Council salaries.
These mechanisms include: (i.) a calculation based on the amount of time that has passed since the last increase; (ii.) City’s population, and (iii.) CPI.
At the March 10, 2026 City Council meeting, the City Council selected the method of setting its compensation set forth in Government Code section 36516(a)(2)(A), which allows for setting the base salary for City Council based on population. Pursuant to this option, in cities with a population up to and including 35,000 people, such as Twentynine Palms, the City Council may set its compensation at a flat rate of up to Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars ($950.00) per month. The City Council discussed this option and the maximum permitted compensation and gave direction to Staff to bring back an Ordinance that sets its monthly salary at less than the maximum permitted amount, and specifically a flat rate of $700.00 per month.
Next Steps and Timing of Salary Increase
The City Council must adopt an Ordinance to increase its salary. Both the first and second readings of any Ordinance to increase City Council salaries must be considered in open session, at regular (not special) meetings (§ 36516 subd. (g).). While this can occur at any time, as stated above, any increase cannot go into effect until the City Council begins a new term in office (§ 36516.5.).
If a City Council has staggered terms, as is the case here, an adjustment can become effective when one or more members of the body begin a new term in office (Id) (See also TPMC § 2.16.050). In light of the above, following a first and second reading of the proposed Ordinance, the earliest the proposed salary increase could take effect is December 2026, following the certification of the November 2026 election results.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
N/A
ENVIRONMENTAL:
N/A
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could decide to take no action or recommend a different methodology for setting salaries, or a different amount, as permitted by Government Code section 36516.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the City Council approves the proposed fixed salary increase of $700 per month per Councilmember, the total annual salary cost per fiscal year will be $42,000, an increase of $14,100 from the prior rate.
