FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving No Redistribution of Unspent and Relinquished Funds for the City Council's Travel and Training Budget in FY 2025-2026, in Addition to Returning Unused Funds to the General Fund
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving no redistribution of unspent and relinquished funds for the City Council’s Travel and Training Budget in Fiscal Year 2025-2026, in addition to returning any unused funds to the General Fund following the close of the fiscal year.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is not identified in the City Council Strategic Plan, nor is it directly correlated to a specific priority or goal.
BACKGROUND
On November 28, 2023, via Resolution No. 6234-23, the City Council amended its Policy Governing Expenses for the City Council (“Policy”). The Policy provides that the Travel and Training Budget be established in a set amount per Councilmember during the biennial budget process. For Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the total budget allocation is $40,000, distributed as follows: $10,000 to the Mayor and $7,500 to each City Councilmember.
On May 13, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-066 (see Attachment 1) as its latest revision to the Policy. The amendments to the Policy included: 1) removing the $2,000 cap on redistribution; 2) eliminating the provided examples for per diem reimbursements but making no substantive revision to the Policy in this regard; 3) removing the cash advance provision; 4) increasing the days for submitting for an expense reimbursement from 30 to 45 days; and 5) adding clarifying language regarding access to IT equipment.
Under Section III of the Policy, the process by which Councilmembers who do not intend 29 of 311
Agenda Item No. 4.3

A Councilmember's decision to relinquish funds is entirely voluntary but final and irrevocable. Annually, at the first meeting in February, any relinquished funds will be evenly distributed to Councilmembers who have elected not to relinquish their funds for the remainder of the fiscal year. The relinquished funds will continue to be evenly distributed until outstanding expenses have been reimbursed for each Councilmember who has elected not to relinquish their funds and shall continue to be distributed until there are no outstanding expenses left or until the relinquished funds have been completely exhausted.
DISCUSSION
The attached resolution for this item would approve no redistribution of unspent and relinquished funds for the City Council’s Travel and Training Budget in Fiscal Year 2025- 2026. None of the Councilmembers has voluntarily elected to relinquish their respective fund allocations. Therefore, there are no relinquished funds to be evenly redistributed to the remaining Councilmembers who have not relinquished any funds but may have outstanding or anticipated expenses.
The budget allocation for each Councilmember’s Travel and Training Budget for FY 2025- 2026 remains as follows:
COUNCILMEMBER BUDGET FOR FY 2025-2026
Mayor Gary Singh $10,000.00
Vice Mayor Jaime Patiño $7,500.00
Councilmember Lance Nishihira $7,500.00
Councilmember Scott Sakakihara $7,500.00
Councilmember Jeff Wang $7,500.00
The total budget for the City Council’s Travel and Training in FY 2025-2026 is $40,000.00, as adopted during the budget process.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact of the City Council taking the recommended action, as there is no redistribution of funds within the City Council’s overall Travel and Training Budget. Any unused funds at the end of the fiscal year will be returned to the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving no redistribution of unspent and relinquished funds for the City Council’s Travel and Training Budget in Fiscal Year 2025-2026, in addition to returning unused funds to the General Fund following the close of the fiscal year.

CITY COUNCIL POLICY
Subject: Policy Governing Expenses of the City Council
Adopted: May 13, 2025
I. PURPOSE
a. City Councilmembers must incur miscellaneous expenses in fulfilling the responsibilities of an elected official. This policy establishes the guidelines and standards regarding miscellaneous expenditures incurred by members of the City Council for all travel, education, training, communications, and all out-of-pocket expenses. b. Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a Councilmember in the performance of their official duties as a representative of the City are eligible for reimbursement as provided in this policy. The guidelines established in this policy are to ensure that travel expenses serve a public purpose and benefit to the City.
II. AUTHORIZED EXPENSES.
a. City funds, equipment, supplies including letterhead, titles, and staff time must only be used for authorized City business. Expenses incurred in connection with the following types of activities generally constitute authorized expenses, as long as the other requirements of this policy are met:
1. Communicating with representatives of regional, state and national government on City adopted policy positions;
2. Attending educational seminars designed to improve officials' skill and information levels;
3. Participating in regional, state and national organizations whose activities affect the City's interests; and

3. Family expenses, including partner's expenses when accompanying official on agencyrelated business, as well as children- or pet-related expenses;

5. Non-mileage personal automobile expenses, including repairs, traffic citations, insurance or gasoline; and
6. Personal losses incurred while on City business.
Expenses for which City Councilmembers receive reimbursement from another agency are not reimbursable under this Policy. Any questions regarding the propriety of a particular type of expense should be resolved by the City Manager before the expense is incurred.
III. BUDGET.
a. Councilmembers shall not incur more expenses per year than budgeted. These amounts will be established in a set amount per Councilmember during the biennial budget process.
Annually, at the first regular City Council meeting in February, any Councilmember that does not intend to expend their budgeted travel funds during the remainder of the fiscal year may voluntarily elect to relinquish those funds. The decision to relinquish funds is final and irrevocable. Relinquished funds will be evenly distributed to Councilmembers that have elected to not relinquish their funds for the remainder of the fiscal year. The relinquished funds will continue to be evenly distributed until outstanding expenses have been reimbursed for each Councilmember that has elected to not relinquish their funds and shall continue to be distributed until there are no outstanding expenses left or until the relinquished funds have been completely exhausted. In no event will the redistributed amount be greater than an additional amount of $2,000 per Councilmember. City Councilmembers are not eligible to receive additional budget except through the process outlined in this subsection. b. Councilmembers who incur expenses greater than the maximum permitted by this policy shall be responsible for the excess expenses.
IV. COST CONTROL.
To conserve City resources and keep expenses within community standards for public officials, expenditures should adhere to the following guidelines. In the event that expenses are incurred which exceed these guidelines, the cost borne or reimbursed by the City will be limited to the costs that fall within the guidelines.
a. Transportation. The most economical mode and class of transportation reasonably consistent with scheduling needs and cargo space requirements must be used, using the most direct and time-efficient route. Government and group rates must be used when available.
1. Airfare. Airfares that are equal or less than those available through the Enhanced Local Government Airfare Program offered through the League of California Cities (www.cacities.org/travel) and the State of California are presumed to be the most economical and reasonable for purposes of reimbursement under this policy. Receipts are required for payment or reimbursement of airfare.
2. Automobile. Automobile mileage is reimbursed at the Internal Revenue Service rate in effect at the time of travel. The reimbursement rate is designed to compensate the driver Docusign Envelope ID: 5F2AF622-25DA-4002-A2AB-10DBBBF3A7D1 35 of 311
for gasoline, insurance, maintenance, and other expenses associated with operating the vehicle. This amount does not include bridge and road tolls, which are also reimbursable.
3. Car Rental. Car rental rates that are equal or less than those available through the State of California's website (http://www.catravelsmart.com/default.htm) shall be considered the most economical and reasonable for purposes of reimbursement under this policy.
Receipts are required for payment or reimbursement of car rental expenses.
4. Taxis/Shuttles. Taxis, shuttles, or rideshare trips (such as Lyft/Uber) fares may be reimbursed, including a 15 percent gratuity per fare, when the cost of such fares is equal or less than the cost of car rentals, gasoline and parking combined, or when such transportation is necessary for time-efficiency.
b. Lodging. Lodging expenses will be reimbursed or paid for when travel on official City business reasonably requires an overnight stay. Receipts are required for payment or reimbursement of lodging expenses.
1. Conferences/Meetings. If such lodging is in connection with a conference, lodging expenses must not exceed the group rate published by the conference sponsor for the meeting in question if such rates are available at the time of booking. If the group rate is not available, see next section.
2. Other Lodging. Travelers must request government rates, when available. A listing of hotels offering government rates in different areas is available at http://www.catravelsmart.com/lodguideframes.htm. Lodging rates that are equal or less than government rates are presumed to be reasonable and hence reimbursable for purposes of this policy.
If lodging rates exceed the government rate for the area, actual lodging costs may be reimbursed conditioned upon performance of a good faith effort evidenced by documentation (e.g., internet search or phone calls) that demonstrate an attempt to find median-priced lodging.
c. Meals. Meal expenses and associated gratuities will be reimbursed up to the regular federal M&IE per diem rate established for Oakland, California, in effect at the time the meal expenses are incurred. The regular federal M&IE per diem rate for Oakland at the time of the adoption of this policy allocated by meal is as follows:
1. Breakfast: $16
2. Lunch: $17
3. Dinner: $28
4. Incidental Expenses: $5
5. Total: 66
The City will not pay for alcohol/personal bar expenses or for meal expenses for third parties.

Agenda Item No. 4.4
DATE: February 24, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving Amendments to the City's Classification and Compensation Plan for Unrepresented
Classifications, in Conformance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan regarding equity adjustments for unrepresented employees, effective the first full pay period following City Council approval.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action supports Strategy 8 of Goal B, Governance and Organizational Effectiveness, by ensuring salaries are competitive to attract qualified candidates and retain talented staff.
BACKGROUND
The City contracted with Ralph Anderson and Associates to update the previous salary survey, which concluded in November 2025. To align the unrepresented group with the other administrative and service groups (OE3-MEG, OE3-PEG, and SEIU), which previously received equity adjustments, the City recommends applying the same equity adjustment philosophy to the unrepresented group.
DISCUSSION
The City has endeavored to bring market equity to all classifications within the City and has historically used Ralph Anderson and Associates. The Market Equity Survey highlighted the classifications below for equity adjustments. 42 of 311
Agenda Item No. 4.4
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 February 24, 2026 Title Equity Needed:
Administrative Specialist-Confidential 3.2%
City Clerk 1.4%
Economic and Community Development Director 0.8%
Finance Director 0.8%
Public Works Director 0.1%
While the remaining classifications align with the City’s compensation program goals, it is important to note that 80% of the fifteen classifications in this group remain under market.
These market equity adjustments will become effective on March 2, 2026, the first full pay period following City Council approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost associated with the market equity adjustments provided is approximately $13,700 annually. However, no budget action is required as there is sufficient budget in the FY 2025-26 budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan, effective March 2, 2026, the first full pay period following approval by City Council, in conformance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5.

Agenda Item No. 4.5
DATE: February 24, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution of the City of Union City Approving and Adopting the Side Letter to the Memorandum of Understanding Between the City and the Operating Engineers Local 3 - Professional Employees Group (OE3-PEG) to Address Leaves for the Period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Side Letter on Behalf of the City Regarding Leave Administration
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving and adopting the Side Letter to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Union City (City) and the Operating Engineers Local 3 – Professionals Group (OE3- PEG) to address leaves for the period of July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, regarding leave administration.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
The action supports Strategy 8 of Goal B, Governance and Organizational Effectiveness, by ensuring the City remains competitive to retain talented staff and provide an attractive recruiting environment.
BACKGROUND
The City and OE3-PEG are parties to the MOU, effective between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2027 (the MOU). Staff and OE3-PEG have been negotiating in good faith for an agreement to a side letter to the OE3-PEG MOU. The City and OE3 have reached an agreement on matters associated with Section 3.0 Leaves of the MOU, specifically related to maximum accruals for Administrative Leave and Floating Holiday hours. To ensure members who were otherwise unable to take accrued time off, the side letter provides that members can regain those hours lost during the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
60 of 311
Agenda Item No. 4.5
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 February 24, 2026
DISCUSSION
The relevant provision addressed by the proposed side letter is Section 3.0, Leave, to temporarily lift the bank limits for Administrative Leave and Floating Holiday hours. This temporary lift of the bank hour maximum will allow members who otherwise lost hours during the period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, due to the inability to take time off during a brief but crucial project implementation stage with citywide impacts.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact, as the hours must be used by the end of Fiscal Year 2025-2026, and there is no opportunity to cash out any of these leave hours.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving and adopting the Side Letter to the MOU and authorizing the City Manager to execute the side letter on behalf of the City.

Memorandum of Understanding
Between
The City of Union City
and
Professional Employees Group, Operating Engineers Local 3 The City of Union City (the “City”) and the Professional Employees Group (“PEG”), Operating Engineers Local 3, (collectively the “Parties”) enter into this side letter to the Parties’ Memorandum of Understanding effective January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 regarding suspension on maximum administrative leave 2 accruals for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024-2025 and to address unused floating holiday hours from FY 2024-2025.
WHEREAS, in 2024-2025, due to operational changes at the City, members in PEG may have not have been able to utilize administrative leave 2 hours or floating holiday hours due to the need to provide critical staffing and services.
WHEREAS, in response, the City seeks to temporarily suspend the maximum administrative leave 2 accrual limit and allow the use of unused floating holiday hours for FY 2024-2025 to allow employees to utilize unused floating holiday hours and administrative leave 2 hours in excess of the maximum amounts permitted pursuant to the January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 Memorandum of Understanding between the Parties.
WHEREAS, in order to do so, the City and PEG desire to provide for a one-time opportunity to allow any excess administrative leave 2 accruals from Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to go into the employee’s administrative leave 2 hours bank. Similarly, the City and PEG desire to provide for a one-time opportunity to allow any unused floating holiday hours from Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to go into the employee’s floating holiday hours bank.
WHEREAS, the City and PEG desire to enter into a side letter to memorialize the above.
NOW, THEREFORE the Parties agree to the following, effective upon fully executed agreement:
1. The City shall restore hours to the following existing banks, applicable for only FY 2024- 2025:
a. One for any administrative leave 2 hours that would have been accrued throughout FY 2024-2025 in excess of the maximum amount permitted pursuant to the January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 Memorandum of Understanding between the Parties.
b. One for any unused floating holiday hours as of 6/30/25 pursuant to the January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 Memorandum of Understanding between the Parties. 64 of 311
c. These restored hours shall be utilized first before any existing hours in either bank are applied and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions that apply to administrative leave 2 hours and floating holiday hours as set forth in the current Memorandum of Understanding between the Parties. The banks will be updated to account for any administrative leave 2 hours in excess of the maximum amount, and for the unused floating holiday hours, only from employees that are active as of the date of this side letter.
2. Access to these excess administrative leave 2 hours outlined in Provision 1 of this side letter shall be available for use only by active employees, currently employed in a job classification represented by PEG, and who were unable to accrue additional administrative leave 2 hours because of reaching the maximum number of hours allowed in FY 2024-2025.
3. Access to these unused floating holiday hours outlined in Provision 1 of this side letter shall be available for use only by active employees, currently employed in a job classification represented by PEG, who were unable to use all of their floating holiday hours in FY 2024-2025.
4. In no circumstances shall PEG members be allowed to cash out accruals from these restored hours that are formed pursuant to Provision 1 of this side letter. PEG acknowledges that this side letter does not confer a vested right on any employee nor does it establish any past practice, and that the benefit is being offered as a means to address unique circumstances caused by operational changes at the City and through no fault of PEG represented employees.
5. The Parties agree that this is a one-time non-precedential agreement. The Parties further agree that this side letter shall not be relied upon as precedent or as establishing a past practice of the City or PEG in any manner. This side letter shall only be used by the City and PEG in a proceeding alleging failure by a signatory to abide by the terms of the side letter.

SCOPE OF WORK
Plan Review Services
4LEAF will provide Plan Review for any and all types of structures to ensure compliance with all adopted codes, local ordinances (including Tier 1 of Cal Green, if required) and State and federal laws that pertain to Building and Safety, and for compliance with the adopted International Code Council (ICC) Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, National Fire Protection codes and standards, and the Accessibility and Noise and Energy Conservation requirements as mandated by the State of California Title 24, State of California Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, the State of California Certified Access Specialist (CASp) compliance, and all other applicable ordinances. We provide these services for project types including Single-Family Dwellings, large MultiFamily Mixed-Use Dwelling Units, Commercial, and Industrial.
Approach
We understand that the specific building plan review responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
• Examining plans, drawings, specifications, computations documents, soils reports, and additional data; • Ascertaining whether projects are in accordance with applicable building and fire codes, and City ordinances, including but not limited to Title 24 and Title 25; • Performing such reviews as structural, MEP, green building, fire and life safety, grading and drainage; • Reviewing plans to ensure conformity to the required strengths, stresses, strains, loads, and stability as per the applicable laws;
• Reviewing plans to ensure conformity with use and occupancy classification, general building heights and areas, types of construction, fire resistance construction and protection systems, means of egress, accessibility, structural design, soils and foundations; and masonry; • Providing additional plan review services as requested by the City; • Conducting all plan review at the City Department or at a site mutually agreed upon in writing and; • Supplying all plan review staff with all code books and other basic professional references.
On- and Off-Site Review
4LEAF can supply Registered Professional Engineers to the City to work on-site performing structural plan review and non-structural reviews at the jurisdiction’s discretion. Our experience includes checking for compliance with the structural, life-safety, accessibility, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, and local codes/ordinances. 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review
EZPlan Review is 4LEAF’s in-house tracking software that acts as a communication tool between 4LEAF and the jurisdictions we work with. The use of EZPlan makes communication easy. This web portal allows users visualize project due dates, notes, and status updates so that projects can be followed from start to finish. Additionally, 4LEAF provides electronically stamped and uploaded copies of approved project plans, a value which saves clients time and resources. With the use of EZPlan, 4LEAF hopes to provide a level of ease and transparency during the off-site plan review process.

QA/QC Review Process
Task 1 – Project Tracking Set-up
The first step of our process will be to set up the project in our system to enable 4LEAF and the City each to track the progress of the review. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.
Task 2 - Complete Submittal Review
Upon receiving the plans from the City, 4LEAF will triage (preliminary plan review performed by 4LEAF plan review project lead) the submittal to verify that the submittal received is complete (i.e., all pertinent plans, calculations, reports, and other related documents) in order that we can begin our review. If the submitted package is incomplete, we will communicate with the City to discuss the deficient documents needed to proceed with our review.
Task 3 - Plan Review Assignment
After the triage process is performed and a complete package is verified, the project will be assigned to the most qualified Plans Examiner and a turnaround time will be established. We will log each application into our database the same day the plans are received to assure that they are routed in a timely manner and to allow for daily project tracking.
Task 4 - Plan Review
4LEAF will provide the project contact (Developer, Contractor, Architect, or Engineer) desired by the City with a list of any items needing correction and clarification to comply with applicable building codes, ordinances, and regulations. A correction list will be created based on the missing codes and ordinances.
Task 5 - Quality Control
Prior to submitting the plan review correction list to the City, the designated plan review project lead will review the correction list for adherence to applicable codes and ordinances as well as for accuracy and completeness.
After completion of our quality control review a correction list will be e-mailed to a designated staff member at the City or as directed by the City. The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include the following information: a description of the work, type of construction, occupancy group, square footage, number of floors, and sprinkler requirements.
Task 6 - Plan Review Rechecks
Plans received for rechecks will be reviewed for conformance. Our goal is to actively work with the designers to resolve all unresolved issues after our second review. If it appears that there are complicated issues that might cause a project to go beyond our second review, we will communicate directly with the designer to resolve these concerns.
Task 7 - Project Approval
Once the final plan reviews are completed and ready for approval, 4LEAF will organize the plans and supporting documents per the City processing requirements and return them to the City, along with our letter of completion.

Document Control
When plans and documents are received for
review, 4LEAF’s Plan Review Manager and
Document Control Technician analyze the
project, creates a job number, and completes a
Job Setup Sheet. This form highlights both the
jurisdiction, applicable contact information, and
all project specific design criteria and notes. Jobs
are then transmitted through 4LEAF’s easily
accessed EZPlan Review Portal which tracks initial
and subsequent reviews and is open for view by
the client. The City and their customers can view
4LEAF’s plan review control log through 4LEAF’s
EZPlan Review Portal.

Plans then get distributed for review to a 4LEAF team consisting of Plan Review Engineers, Architect (a licensed state professional) and/or an ICC Certified Plans Examiner, as applicable. Our staff then performs his or her function of analyzing the plans and documentation for effective conformance to the state codes, referenced construction standards, and City amendments. 4LEAF’s code review methodology is “The Effective Use of the Codes” reinforced through proprietary and jurisdictional checklists. When complete, the Plan Review Manager overviews the project for quality control purposes and forwards comments or approvals to the client’s predesignated contacts.
Third-Party Plan Review and Inspections
4LEAF can provide third-party plan reviews and inspections to applicants, a process that increases permitting efficiency and saves owners, contractors, developers, and jurisdictions time and money. 4LEAF currently provides similar services for the County of Sonoma, County of Marin, and City of Santa Rosa clients. 4LEAF meets with each Jurisdiction to streamline a process that will best meet the needs of their applicants.
Structural Only Review
Upon request, 4LEAF will perform “structural only” reviews for the City. 4LEAF can communicate directly with the designers via email, in-person meetings, and through our EZPlan Review system. 4LEAF prefers PDF files for “structural only” reviews as they allow several Structural Engineers to review plans together should there be design-related questions. The majority of 4LEAF’s plan review engineers have a design background and work well with project designers.
Off-Site Electronic Plan Review
Digital plan review allows 4LEAF the ability to review, markup and transport plans of any size electronically. We strongly encourage this service for our clients. This process delivers a high degree of cost effectiveness, time efficiency and a “green” and environmentally friendly system. Through our strong focus on utilizing this digital capability, we offer full access to all 4LEAF engineers and plans examiners company-wide, from any of our office locations. A protected online portal will be established to allow property owners, contractors, developers, businesses, designers, and stakeholders to submit plans electronically for review. Access to the online portal will be given to City staff for immediate access to information regarding project status during the review process. 4LEAF has successfully implemented and used Bluebeam for electronic review of files to help eliminate the use of paper and take the plan review workflow to a whole new level. 4LEAF’s offices are equipped with large scale monitors for easy review of plans. Bluebeam Revu combines powerful PDF editing, markup, and collaboration technology with reliable file creation. Bluebeam integrates flawlessly with our Green Line approach for electronic and timely turnarounds resulting in permit issuance within 5-7 business days.

Short-Term Rental Programs
One of the fastest-growing programs within Code Enforcement Divisions is short-term rentals. 4LEAF assists with compliance with municipal short-term rental ordinances that require property owners to adhere to several rules, including limiting the number of daytime and overnight guests, prohibiting events and amplified sound, and posting specific rules and emergency information, among others. Short-term rentals are presenting challenges within our communities. While these rentals offer unique opportunities for travelers and hosts, they have also brought forth various concerns that warrant immediate attention. Housing availability, neighborhood dynamics, and safety considerations have raised valid apprehensions among residents. 4LEAF understands these issues and is pleased to present a comprehensive scope of services designed to regulate short-term rentals effectively, fostering a harmonious coexistence for all stakeholders involved. Our proposed solution encompasses meticulous research, the development of fair regulations, stringent compliance inspections, and a robust enforcement system to address illegal postings and operations. With these measures in place, we can resolve the prevailing issues and create a sustainable short-term rental ecosystem that benefits the entire community. We look forward to collaborating with you all in implementing this solution and achieving a positive and lasting impact on our neighborhoods. These are scopes of services that we provide, including but not limited to:
1. Research and Analysis: Conducting a thorough study of the local short-term rental market is crucial to understanding the current landscape and potential impact on the community. This data-driven approach enables your jurisdiction to make informed decisions and design effective regulations tailored to your specific needs.
2. Developing Regulations and Policies: Developing clear and well-defined regulations is essential for creating a level playing field for all short-term rental operators. These policies help establish guidelines, standards, and boundaries that ensure the industry operates responsibly, benefiting both residents and hosts alike.
3. Licensing and Registration: Implementing a licensing and registration system ensures that only eligible and responsible operators are allowed to offer short-term rentals. This process helps your jurisdiction track and communicate with operators, making it easier to enforce regulations and ensure compliance with safety and tax requirements.

Scope of Services December 17, 2025
4. Compliance Inspections: Regular compliance inspections are vital to guarantee the safety and quality of shortterm rental properties. By verifying adherence to regulations, your jurisdiction can maintain community safety, prevent potential hazards, and protect the rights of both guests and neighbors.
5. Enforcement and Penalties: A robust enforcement mechanism, including penalties for non-compliant operators, serves as a deterrent against illegal or irresponsible practices. By imposing consequences for violations, authorities can discourage unlawful behavior and encourage operators to adhere to the established regulations.
6. Data Monitoring and Reporting: Implementing or ensuring that proper documentation is completed is standard operating procedure for 4LEAF. A proper data monitoring system provides insights into the shortterm rental market's impact on housing and the local economy. It enables evidence-based decision-making, helping your jurisdiction adjust regulations if necessary and fostering transparency in the regulatory process.
7. Public Awareness and Education: Public awareness campaigns educate both short-term rental operators and residents about their respective rights and responsibilities. By promoting best practices and addressing concerns, these campaigns foster a sense of community understanding and cooperation, reducing potential conflicts.
8. Collaborative Partnerships: Partnering with short-term rental platforms and law enforcement agencies fosters cooperation and facilitates compliance. Data sharing and joint efforts between these stakeholders help streamline the enforcement process and address challenges more effectively.
9. Complaint Resolution: a complaint resolution empowers residents to report issues and complaints related to short-term rentals. Swift and fair resolution of complaints helps maintain harmony within the community and ensures that any problems are addressed promptly.
10. Periodic Review: Regularly reviewing and updating regulations allows your jurisdiction to keep pace with changes in the short-term rental industry and adapt to new challenges or opportunities. This flexibility ensures that the regulatory framework remains relevant and effective in achieving its intended goals.
Lead Abatement
Although lead-based legislation has been around since the 1950s, nationwide regulation was not enforced until 1971 with the introduced of the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (LBPPPA), which prohibited the use of leadbased paint in residential structures constructed or rehabilitated by the Federal government or with Federal assistance. In 1973, an amendment to the LBPPPA stated that lead-based paint should be removed from pre-1950 housing and structures. Our Code Enforcement team follows the requirements set forth by the State of California to ensure proper lead safe practices are taking place in removal of lead-based paint to protect citizens from exposure.
Additionally, our team participated at the National Healthy Homes Conference in 2022 in Baltimore, MD, where we spoke on the importance of Code Enforcement for Lead Paint Abatement Programs to safeguard communities. 83 of 311

recommendations to cases that may require specialized expertise that may be sensitive in nature. 4LEAF staff also has designated staff tracking recent legislation to ensure the municipality follows state regulations and clients are aware of upcoming legislation that may affect their Code Enforcement Program.
Project-Specific Assignments
Our Code Enforcement Directors are often brought on board by municipalities to provide consulting for longstanding cases that need a fresh set of eyes and assessment. The Code Enforcement team at 4LEAF will lend their considerable expertise in bringing those difficult cases into compliance. We will review your most challenging cases, assess the work done to date, and confer with the Municipal Code and your department's Standard Operating Procedures. Once our analysis is complete, 4LEAF will provide you with a detailed report of our findings and specific step-by-step strategies to get those cases off the active roster. 4LEAF personnel will be available to speak with stakeholders such as Department Heads, Council, and other elected officials. If necessary, we can also provide Expert Witness Testimony.

Our staff can also help implement and train the existing municipal personnel in these changes. Currently, we are providing these services for California municipalities such as the cities of Escondido, Del Mar, and San Diego.
Staff Augmentation (After-Hours / On-Call Officers)

Stormwater Enforcement
4LEAF provides Stormwater Enforcement. This includes the visual inspection of infrastructure dedicated to the management of rainwater. Violations would include having inadequate erosion/sediment controls for property, failing to conduct/document inspections, illegal dumping, overgrowth of vegetation, and flooding.
Substandard Housing
One of the major areas of code enforcement throughout the U.S. is the inspection of Substandard Housing. 4LEAF Code Enforcement Officers routinely inspect and report any violations to housing codes including substandard and uninhabitable conditions, un-permitted construction, unlawfully created units or spaces, inadequate or non-existent heating, accumulated trash and debris, lack of utilities, property maintenance, mold, and rodent/insect infestations.
Tobacco Enforcement
These programs ensure that retailers are properly licensed/permitted for the sale of tobacco and such establishments are posting proper notification such as STAKE Act stickers at each point of sale. In addition, we can assist in compliance with work-place smoking and vaping prohibitions.
Vendor Enforcement
In many areas across California, unlawful street vending has become a pressing concern. These vendors, offering a wide variety of products, often operate without adhering to established regulations, leading to challenges such as littering, public right of way obstructions, and unfair competition with authorized businesses. While California has taken commendable steps, such as the introduction of Senate Bill 946 and Senate Bill 972, both of which are designed to regulate and decriminalize certain aspects of street vending, there remains much work to do. Many vendors, driven more by economic desperation than defiance, continue to bypass these regulations, resulting in a surge of potentially unsafe vending operations, many of which are food vendors. This not only jeopardizes public health but also diminishes the state's regulatory efforts.
4LEAF is an experienced solution-oriented firm that recognizes the complexities of this issue. Beyond mere law enforcement, the 4LEAF team understands the socioeconomic intricacies driving vendors towards this livelihood. Our tailored programs are designed to address the root causes, ensuring vendors have pathways to legitimate operations while helping jurisdictions maintain public safety and order.
Through a partnership with the City, 4LEAF is poised to offer a comprehensive strategy and service that not only aligns with state regulations but also provides sustainable solutions for the challenges of unlawful street vending. 86 of 311

Planning Services
Our Planners possess the technical writing and report preparation abilities needed to convey the greatest detail in a manner that is easy to understand with solid recommendations of findings rooted in the plans, policies, and codes that reinforce the City’s vision. We are dedicated to understanding the vision of a community and rigorously working towards that vision. We utilize application checklists as the foundation of our review and translate policies and regulations as they apply to planning development applications. We transpose our findings into informative, concise, and simple to understand staff reports and environmental compliance documentation.

4LEAF Planners will arrive on-site with a positive attitude and will make every attempt to move projects forward to achieve successful outcomes. We are creative in our approach and can develop alternative methods to achieve the best outcome for the communities, agencies, and applicants. The Planning Division at 4LEAF is responsible for integrating staff into Local and State jurisdictions where we are routinely called upon to supplement vacancies and staff shortages. We also provide staff augmentation services when projects require focused processing and management of a variety of land use applications for compliance with land development codes and general, adopted area, and specific plans.
Current Planning (Counter Intake and Project Review)
4LEAF’s Planning duties include ensuring the project team quickly and effectively becomes familiar with City regulations. This approach minimizes the time needed for our Planning Team to become effective answering questions at the Planning Counter regarding Planning application and Environmental Review requirements as well as conducting Project review. This approach ensures cost and time effectiveness of our provision of services to the City and is a foundational principal in our Planning Team’s approach as detailed below.
Long-Range Planning
Our long-range Planning team helps cities draft plans, policies, and programs designed to guide their physical design and development. We have over 30 years of experience preparing housing elements, general plans, specific and area plans, and environmental documents in various types of ecological, land use, and socioeconomic settings. Our mission is to provide our clients with high-level professional expertise, leveraging our local experience and diverse team of experts to create a plan that is contextual and implementable, and meets the requirements and needs of the community.

The 4LEAF Planning and Environmental team is composed of experienced Supervisors and Senior level project managers, Associate and Assistant Planners, and Planning Technicians. Our Project Case Planners are assigned cases by the Supervisor or Project Manager in coordination with City staff. Project review assignments will be made to our Planning team depending on the complexity of the project and the applicable experience of the Planner assigned. Our project management approach serves to maximize team ability to process applications effectively from compliance and environmental review to design review and decision-maker hearings. This approach also ensures that our Planning Team is assigned the appropriate number of projects suited to their experience and qualifications, thereby realizing cost and time effective management as part of our approach.

• Rates for prevailing wage categories are subject to annual escalations in accordance with the bi-annual wage determinations from the California DIR.
• Per the new requirements being enforced under SB 854 and because it is assumed that a PWC-100 Form will be filed by the Client to the CA DIR for each project, 4LEAF is required to notify an authorized Apprenticeship Committee through submittal of a DAS-140 form. We are then required to make an official request to an authorized Apprenticeship Committee for an apprentice by submitting a DAS-142 form. We are not assured the apprenticeship committee will be able to provide a suitable/qualified apprentice for the project. Per the apprenticeship requirements, the hours worked by the apprentice must be in a ratio of 1:5 for apprentice to journeyman hours. 4LEAF will not know the labor classification of the Public Works Apprentice until an Apprentice is dispatched to the site; therefore, the rates for the five Periods listed under the California DIR’s Wage determination for Building Construction Inspector were used to determine the range of hourly rates for Public Works Inspector Apprentice. • Pre-approved Overtime and Premium hours for labor categories subject to Prevailing Wage requirements will be charged per the following:

Agenda Item No. 4.7
DATE: February 24, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing City Staff to File Annual Funding Applications with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for the Allocation of Funds for the Operation of Union City Transit Services for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing City staff to file annual funding applications with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for the allocation of funds for the operation of Union City Transit services for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
There is no direct alignment with the Strategic Plan goals.
BACKGROUND
The State’s Transportation Development Act (TDA), through the Local Transportation Fund (LTF), and State Transit Assistance (STA), provide the two (2) main sources of funding for public transportation providers throughout the state, including the City of Union City – Union City Transit. The LTF funds are derived from a quarter cent ($0.0025) of the seven-and-a-quarter cent ($0.0725) retail sales tax collected statewide. The STA funds are derived from the statewide sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel. Both TDA and STA funds are apportioned through MTC.
DISCUSSION
Union City Transit may claim these funds annually to meet operating, planning, and capital requirements. Unclaimed and/or unused funds are rolled over for future transit operating needs or are set aside to fund large upcoming transit capital projects. Both TDA and STA funds will be claimed to operate the City’s local transit provider, Union City Transit, including fixed-route transit, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary paratransit, and microtransit services. The estimated total application amounts for these funds are as follows (fixed-route, paratransit, and microtransit combined), based on 94 of 311
Agenda Item No. 4.7
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 February 24, 2026 current allocation estimates:
TDA $6,064,304
TDA Capital $1,248,106
STA $1,018,651
Total $8,331,061
A portion of Union City Transit’s allocation forms is included in Attachment 1 for budgetary reference.
FISCAL IMPACT
The TDA and STA funding sources, along with anticipated passenger fares and other revenues (including Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure BB, Federal Transit Administration, and Low Carbon Transit Operations Program), will fully fund Union City Transit services for FY 2025-2026.
There will be no impact on the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing City staff to file annual funding applications with the MTC for the allocation of funds for the operation of Union City Transit services for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Agenda Item No. 4.8
DATE: February 24, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Accepting $50,000 from the Transportation Fund for Clean Air, Administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission, Amending the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Projects Grants Fund Budget, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Project Funding Agreement for the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project Phase II, City Project No. 26-38
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution accepting $50,000 from the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA), administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC), amending the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Projects Grants Fund Budget, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Project Funding Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project Phase II, City Project No. 26-38.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following:
Goal D, Strategy 2: Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure – Implement the City’s capital improvement plan.
Goal D, Strategy 9 Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure – Transition the UC Transit fleet to zero emissions.
BACKGROUND
The 2021 Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) update identified Dyer Street as a strategic corridor for bicycle infrastructure improvement. Though improvements were partially made in 2022 through the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project Phase I, the section of Dyer Street between Deborah Drive and Union City Boulevard remained with a bicycle network gap and a deteriorating road surface. Dyer Street is a critical corridor for Union City residents, as it connects to several other major arterials and popular gathering places. The second phase of the Dyer Street project will fill the bicycle 100 of 311
Agenda Item No. 4.8
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 February 24, 2026 network gap by providing marked bicycle lanes and clear vehicle lanes on a much-needed rehabilitated surface.
Alameda CTC administers funding programs for projects and programs that benefit the Alameda County transportation system, consisting of the 2000 Measure B, 2010 Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF), 2014 Measure BB, Congestion Management Agency Transportation Improvement Program (CMA-TIP), and Transportation Fund for Clean Air Programs.
On June 13, 2025, Alameda CTC released the Call for Projects for the FY2025-26 Transportation Fund for Clean Air, with approximately $789,000 available for eligible capital projects and programs within Alameda County, and the submission period ending on July 18, 2025.
Staff submitted the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project Phase II Project for the FY2025-26 Transportation Fund for Clean Air and recommended a funding award in the amount of $50,000 on June 25, 2025. On September 25, 2025, Alameda CTC approved the project and the full funding request, in the amount of $50,000, from the FY 2025-2026 Transportation Fund for Clean Air Program.
DISCUSSION
The 5-year Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Plan identified this project as Project #26 “Reserved for Future Project.” The additional funding provided by this grant will support overall construction efforts and may be used to explore additional safety measures. With the recent completion of the Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project and its modern bicycle safety improvements, the bicycle gap on Dyer Street should now be filled, extending to Deborah Drive and connecting to existing bike lanes for a seamless, safe riding experience. This project will also improve the overall road surface, rehabilitating the pavement to acceptable levels and increasing the City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
FISCAL IMPACT
Union City will receive $50,000 via the Alameda CTC Project Funding Agreement (PFA) No. A25-0066 for the Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project Phase II, City Project No. 26-38. City Council action is necessary to amend the FY 2025-2026 Capital Projects Grants Fund budget, as detailed below and in the attached resolution.
The $50,000 in grant revenues will be recognized under 41092638-44502 (Capital Projects Grants Fund – Dyer Street Rehabilitation Project Phase II – Misc. County/Local Grants). A project budget of $50,000 will be created for account 41092638-57112 (Capital Projects Grants Fund – Dyer Street Rehabilitation Project Phase II – Land Improvements).
There will be no fiscal impact on the General Fund.

11. PROJECT costs incurred by PROJECT SPONSOR are only eligible for reimbursement on a pro- rated basis unless specifically provided for in Appendix A: Project Control Information, and PROJECT SPONSOR is expected to concurrently seek reimbursement from the other sources shown in Project A: Project Control Information.

If PROJECT SPONSOR anticipates receiving net revenues (i.e., rental or other income generated by the property, less reasonable costs for insurance, maintenance and related items) from any property acquired using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS, PROJECT SPONSOR shall notify ALAMEDA CTC on how PROJECT SPONSOR will use such revenue to offset other project costs, and document such revenue separately in project reimbursement requests. e. If PROJECT is suspended, PROJECT SPONSOR shall pay all property management costs.
f. Property that is required for the PROJECT and acquired wholly or in part with ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS shall be available for PROJECT construction within ten (10) years of ALAMEDA CTC reimbursement to the PROJECT SPONSOR. If, after ten (10) years, PROJECT has not been completed, PROJECT SPONSOR shall reimburse ALAMEDA CTC Share of the fair market value of the property, based on the net proceeds from the sale of the property or an appraisal of the property conducted at no cost to ALAMEDA CTC, within one (1) year after the expiration of this ten (10) year period.

Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 5.1
DATE: February 24, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Receive Report on Larry Orozco Teen Bike Workshop Remediation and Repair Cost Analysis and Provide Direction
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Larry Orozco Teen Bike Workshop facility has been in continuous City and community use for more than four decades; however, it has not undergone significant renovation in many years. At the City Council’s direction, staff retained professional consultants to assess the structural condition of the building and evaluate hazardous materials, code compliance deficiencies, and associated repair costs.
The assessment determined that the building is in poor to fair condition and requires substantial reinvestment to address lead and asbestos abatement, roof replacement, ADA compliance upgrades, building system improvements, and other deferred maintenance items. The total estimated cost to bring the facility into compliance for continued public use is approximately $684,717, exclusive of potential mural restoration costs.
The Legislation and Policy Committee reviewed the findings on February 2, 2026, and recommends that the City Council receive the report and confirm direction to proceed with a phased renovation strategy, contingent upon available funding and future budget appropriations.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Consideration of the Larry Orozco Teen Bike Workshop was identified in the City Council Strategic Plan retreat on August 23, 2025 as part of Goal D, Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The Larry Orozco Teen Bike Workshop site was the location of the old Mohawk Fireball Gas Station at 33623 Mission Boulevard, which was built in the 1930s. At some time in the past, the gas station was decommissioned, and the gas pumps were removed. The underground storage tanks have also been removed. In approximately 1981, the City 184 of 311
Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 4 February 24, 2026 purchased the building and eventually funded the Youth Employment program, which was placed under the Leisure Services Department, now known as the Community and Recreation Services Department. The site has been under continuous use by the City and the community for over 45 years.
At the Regular City Council Meeting of May 28, 2024, the City Council received a report requesting that the Larry Orozco Teen Workshop be designated as a historic landmark.
Staff recommended that the City Council review the building's condition and the repairs required to bring it up to code for public use before considering it for historic designation.
The City Council referred the item to the Legislation and Policy Committee to discuss the scope of work and the expected costs for the analysis needed to understand the building's condition.
On February 25, 2025, the City Council received a report regarding the Legislation and Policy Committee’s recommendation that the City Council authorize staff to proceed with the analysis to determine the condition of the building. The City Council unanimously voted to approve the Legislation and Policy Committee’s recommendation. A copy of the February staff report can be found here: Coversheet.
Pursuant to the City Council’s direction, staff have engaged multiple professional consultants over the past several months to assess the condition of the property. The consultants included PCA, Property Condition Assessments, LLC (Attachment 1), and Ninyo and Moore, a geotechnical and environmental services consultant, to prepare a Hazardous Building Materials Survey (Attachment 2). Staff has also engaged a leadcertified contractor to obtain cost estimates for lead paint and asbestos remediation.
This information was reported to the Legislation and Policy Committee on February 2, 2026, and the Committee has now forwarded the item to the full Council for consideration.
The Committee's consensus was that, although the building requires significant reinvestment, the City should seek additional funding to abate and repair the building over time. The Committee also noted that the City’s past investment has been limited to keeping the building and grounds operational. There has been no significant renovation in many years.
DISCUSSION
The Property Condition Assessment report rated the building as in “poor to fair” condition, indicating significant deficiencies, including the need for a full roof replacement, failure to meet ADA requirements, the need to enlarge bathrooms, and the installation of ADAcompliant parking and accessible pathways. Additional repairs include replacing deteriorated windows, installing a new HVAC system, restoring pavement, and adding IT infrastructure, which is currently absent. The building's structural condition does not pose major seismic concerns.
The Hazardous Materials Building Survey identified lead-based paint on both exterior and interior surfaces and confirmed the presence of asbestos-containing material on the roof.
The exterior mural's paint is flaking, requiring abatement before any other work can proceed.
185 of 311
Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 4 February 24, 2026 Lead abatement will damage the upper sections of the existing mural. Staff recommends receiving community input to determine whether the mural should be restored or replaced with new artwork. Restoring the mural will likely be less costly than repainting the entire building with a new mural.
The total cost of renovation is estimated at approximately $684,717, with the potential to increase over time due to inflation and as more detailed information about the site and building retrofits is understood. This estimate includes $58,000 for lead and asbestos abatement, $134,000 for ADA improvements, $85,000 for roof replacement, $210,000 for other repairs, and $197,000 in soft costs.
The current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes $200,000 in Capital Facilities Fee funds programmed for FY 2027/2028, pending the construction of new residential development. The limited funding available will require phasing over several years. The recommended strategy is to prioritize hazardous-material abatement first, followed by roof and window replacement, ADA compliance improvements, and, finally, interior upgrades.
Staff will pursue state and federal grants with the support of Townsend Public Affairs. An independent, resident-led non-profit could also seek funding for the project upgrades and perhaps corporate sponsorship. Sometimes, non-profits have access to grants that are not available to government agencies, though staff are not aware of a current non-profit that could take on a renovation project such as this.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of repairing the Larry Orozco Teen Bike Workshop to bring it up to current code for public use is expected to be $684,717. This estimate is preliminary, based upon the analysis completed to date and the staff’s recent experiences with bids for other City facility projects. As noted, the cost estimate to repair the exterior mural has not been included, and a possible source of funding for that effort could be the Art-In-Lieu fund.
Phase Construction Soft Costs Total
1 Lead and asbestos abatement $58,000 $23,490 $81,490
2 Roof and window repair and replacement $85,000 $34,425 $119,425 3 ADA improvements $134,000 $54,270 $188,270
4 All other repairs $210,350 $85,182 $295,532
TOTAL $684,717
Approximately $27,032 of these funds have been incurred to date, including preparation of the Property Condition Assessment and Hazardous Building Materials Survey reports, as well as construction management costs. Approximately $14,081 has been spent on analyses prepared by PCA and Ninyo and Moore, and $12,951 has been incurred by Cummings Group, which has supported Public Works staff with construction management services for this project. Cummings Group has spent time coordinating the consultants, reviewing reports, seeking bids from contractors for remediation, researching lead abatement, preparing cost estimates, and coordinating meetings with the City Manager’s Office and other staff.
Attachment 3 identifies $200,000 in Fiscal Years 2027/2028 for the Larry Orozco Teen Bike Workshop; however, this amount is insufficient for full renovation. Staff recommend 186 of 311
Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 4 of 4 February 24, 2026 a phased approach, implemented through the annual budget process, and will work with Townsend Public Affairs to pursue grant funding for abatement, ADA compliance, and repairs.
The project will span multiple budget cycles due to uncertainty in developer impact fees and grant funding. Each phase must be fully funded before proceeding. Current projections anticipate starting Phases 1 and 2 in FY 2027/2028, contingent on receiving $200,000 in impact fees. Phases 3 and 4 would be scheduled in future budget cycles as additional funding becomes available.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council consider the Committee’s recommendation to receive this report and confirm that the City Council supports proceeding with renovation and abatement of the Larry Orozco Teen Bike Workshop as funding becomes available.
It is expected that Phases 1 and 2 would begin in FY 2027/2028.

The overall condition of the Subject Property is poor to fair, depending on the building system, in comparison to PCA's experience with other properties of similar age and type.
Except as noted within the respective sections of this report, building improvements generally appeared to comply with applicable building codes enforced at the time of original construction.
This report details the findings and opinions regarding recommended corrections to the Subject Property within the scope of PCA's engagement. With the completion of the repairs identified in the "Opinions of Probable Costs" spreadsheet (OPCs), in conjunction with a well-planned and executed program of ongoing maintenance, the Subject Property should continue to perform well throughout its remaining economic life, which should be 20 or more years.

1.3 STATEMENT OF CONDITION
The overall condition of the Subject Property is poor to fair, depending on building system, in comparison to PCA's experience with other properties of similar age and type. Except as noted within the respective sections of this report, building improvements generally appeared to comply with applicable building codes enforced at the time of original construction.
This report details the findings and opinions regarding recommended corrections to the Subject Property within the scope of PCA's engagement. With the completion of the repairs identified in the "Opinions of Probable Costs" spreadsheet (OPCs), in conjunction with a well-planned and executed program of ongoing maintenance, the Subject Property should continue to perform well throughout its remaining economic life, which should be 50 or more years.
1.4 PURPOSE
The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the condition of the existing Subject Property relative to a potential acquisition transaction. This report is based upon the conditions observed at the time of the site visit and does not represent a guarantee of the overall condition or the functional suitability of the Subject Property.
1.5 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of this assessment has been completed in accordance with the "Scope of Services" contained in the contract of engagement between City of Union City and PCA, dated March 7, 2025.
This Scope of Services complies with Standard E. 2018-15 of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), "Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition Assessment Process," as modified by the contract of engagement to accommodate Client's specific requirements.

List of maintenance vendors with contact information
Copies of invoices for recent capital improvement projects Copies of warranties for major building systems/components Equipment inventory/replacement lists
Maintenance/capital improvement budgets
Previous third-party condition/environmental assessment reports Inspection reports, testing reports and certifications for all major building systems including the following: Fire sprinkler and fire alarm; Elevators; Backflow preventer; Infrared scans; Arc-Flash studies; Roof davits; Roof membranes Lease agreements or landlord and tenant responsibility forms To the extent the above-requested information was made available, PCA's project team reviewed and incorporated material and relevant information into the findings and conclusions of this report.
1.7 COST-CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
Opinions of Probable Costs (OPCs) are based on construction costs developed using construction resources such as Marshall & Swift and RS Means (adjusted for geographic location), as well as PCA's experience with past costs for similar projects. In some cases, costs may have been provided by Client/Owner/Property Management based upon actual contractor bids or Client's/Owner's/Manager's historical experience with similar projects; in such cases, the source of the cost is verified in writing and noted within the respective OPC(s). Costs solely reflect "Hard Costs" (e.g., materials and labor) for the recommended work, and do not account for "Soft Costs" (e.g., design fees, surveying, geotechnical investigations, permitting, financing, legal, administrative).
OPCs are based on current costs, and do not reflect increases due to inflation over time, unless otherwise stated in the report. PCA's project professionals have exercised reasonable diligence and judgment in using reliable sourcesfor the cost information presented herein. However, actual costs may differ from PCA's projected costs, dependent upon many factors including variations in design criteria, construction methods, timing, contractor management, geographic parameters, weather conditions, availability of labor and materials, use of unionized labor, and other conditions beyond PCA's control. Accordingly, PCA cannot guarantee the accuracy or 200 of 311
Property Condition Assessments, LLC 6 33623 Mission Boulevard Confidential Client Material 01-25-0052
Format Copyrighted by PCA 2016
sufficiency of the OPCs when compared to actual bids obtained from qualified contractors that have been compiled based on well-developed design drawings/specifications at the time the work is to be performed.

SECTION 2 – PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT
A
A. SITE
Site Description: The Subject Property is located in Union City, California, in the east bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. The site is situated approximately 2.5 miles east of the I-805 freeway.
The site is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Mission Boulevard and F Street. Vehicular access to the site is via two driveways from Mission Boulevard and one from F Street.
The building is located at the center of the site in the east-west direction and extends from the north to the south property line. The building is made up of three distinct parts that appear to have been built at different times.
The oldest portion appears to have been built as a gas station, possibly in the 1920s, and is the smallest of the two inhabitable portions. A mechanic's garage is the largest portion and abuts the original building. The third portion is a small lean-to used for storage on the east side of the garage structure. All three portions are single-story structures of wood-framed construction, on grade.

Surrounding Area: North: Undeveloped land
South: Industrial property; multifamily and single-family development East: Commercial and multifamily properties
West: Commercial and multifamily properties
Shape of Site: Rectangular
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Condition
Description: General topography is flat. The site is typically graded to drain towards the public streets, except at the front of the building. At the front, the site slopes down from the public sidewalk towards the building. It appears that
area drains were installed approximately 4' in front of the building, from where the ground slopes up towards
the building. Area drains were covered with dirt and are most likely clogged.
Primary drainage of stormwater from the roof is
provided via through-wall scuppers and metal, surfacemounted downspouts that discharge at grade.
No evidence of significant flooding or ponding was
observed during the site visit. However, proactive
maintenance of the drainage systems is recommended
on an annual basis.
Fair
Adequacy: Except as noted above, grading and drainage systems appeared adequate.
Recommendation(s): No significant issues were identified.
PAVING
Condition
Description: Paving is limited to Portland-cement concrete at the covered drive-through at the former gas station. A small section of asphaltic concrete, approximately 100 square feet, is present at the easterly driveway on Mission
Poor

Condition
Boulevard. There is no other paving on the site. A
dirt/gravel drive leads from the driveway on F Street to the building. A parking area on the east side of the
building is dirt/gravel and is accessed directly from the driveway (no drive aisle).
Installation of a paved surface parking area and paths of travel is recommended. Once complete, asphalt-paved
areas should be maintained on a five-year cycle.
Adequacy: Limited paving appeared generally inadequate and requires upgrades and maintenance.
Recommendation(s): A.01 Asphalt Paving - Installation: Grade site, prepare base, and pave site with asphaltic concrete. Stripe for parking spaces and traffic control, including disabled-access parking spaces and accessible paths of travel from the street to the building entrance; as well as from parking spaces to the building entrance. This cost is a preliminary budget only, which should be validated by additional investigation and contractor bid[s]. ($45,000)
A.02 Asphalt Paving - Maintenance: Budget for crack seal and seal coat of asphalt paving in the parking areas and drive lanes on a five-year cycle. Cost includes limited replacement of asphalt in damaged areas, re-striping of parking spaces, pavement markings, and drive lanes. ($5,400)
PARKING AND LOADING
Condition
Description: Parking is provided in the unpaved portions of the site, on the east and west sides of the building. Spaces on the west side are accessed via a dirt/gravel drive from the driveway on F Street. Those on the east side are
accessed directly from the easterly driveway on Mission Boulevard.

B. STRUCTURAL – SEISMIC SYSTEMS
The Subject Property consists of three single-story, wood-framed structures that were constructed at different times. Roofs are framed with solid wood or plywood sheathing and sawn lumber beams. Roofs are supported by wood stud walls. Foundations are presumed to be conventional shallow pad and continuous footings.
B Original construction drawings were not provided for review. Design criteria and construction details are presumed based on age and type of construction and are:
Building Code: Early version of municipal building code Building Authority: City of Union City
Seismic Zone: 4, according to the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) (the last edition of the UBC to be published)
Roof Live Load: 20 pounds per square foot (psf)
Wind Speed: 90 mph, 3-second gust, Exposure B
Concrete Strength: F'c = 2,000 psi; foundation
Concrete
Reinforcing Steel:
Fu = 40,000 psi (ASTM A-615 Grade 40) or Fu = 60,000 psi (ASTM A615, Grade 60) Lumber: Douglas fir, larch; various grades
C
Condition
Foundations: Foundations are presumed to be shallow continuous footings at bearing/shear walls and shallow pad footings at posts. Footings at low-rise wood-framed structures
typically are founded a minimum of 18" below grade.
No soils-investigation report was provided for review.
According to maps published by the US Department of
Agriculture, the soils at the site are classified as Rincon clay loam. These alluvial soils are rated as having a
high susceptibility to shrink/swell in response to
changes in moisture.
No evidence of significant foundation distress or
settlement was observed in the areas accessed during
the site visit.
Good
Gravity-LoadCarrying Systems:
Roof framing consists of solid wood sheathing that
spans between sawn-lumber rafters. Rafters span
Fair
209 of 311
Property Condition Assessments, LLC 15 33623 Mission Boulevard Confidential Client Material 01-25-0052
Format Copyrighted by PCA 2016
between wood stud bearing walls and sawn-lumber
beams that bear on wood posts.
Bearing walls are constructed of 2 x 4 wood studs
typically spaced at 16".
Gravity-load-carrying systems appeared to be
performing adequately, except at the lean-to.
Significant rot damage was noted in the roof framing at the lean-to. Unless repairs are made, there is the
possibility that the lean-to roof will collapse.
Lateral-LoadCarrying Systems:Lateral seismic forces will be generated at the building by horizontal earthquake ground accelerations acting on the mass of the structure. Lateral forces acting on the structure will be resisted by the roof sheathing acting as deep beams, referred to as diaphragms, that span
between wood stud shear walls. Nails driven through
the sheathing into the wall framing transfers the lateral forces to the walls. Wall sheathing (plaster and/or
gypsum wallboard) and/or diagonal bracing transfer the
lateral forces to the sill plates of the walls, from where they are transferred to he foundation by anchor bolts
embedded in the footings
It is probable that the original design did not account for seismic forces, as it was not required by code at the time of development. Low-rise wood-framed buildings have
faired well in past earthquakes, due to the low mass and redundancy of structural elements.
Fair
Nonstructural
Elements:
Nonstructural elements consist of building components
that are not intended to resist gravity or lateral loads.
Nonstructural elements include ceilings, furniture,
mechanical equipment and ductwork, electrical and
plumbing components, communication equipment,
curtainwalls, windows, and veneers. Historically, the
cost to repair nonstructural damage has exceeded that
for structural damage. Typically, nonstructural damage
does not pose a threat to life safety. However, in certain circumstances, nonstructural damage can produce
significant threats to life safety, including threats from falling objects, blocked emergency exits, and lifeline
failures. Most nonstructural damage can be prevented,
or at least minimized, by properly anchoring potentially hazardous elements to the structures.
The majority of nonstructural items appeared to be
nominally anchored to resist earthquake ground
shaking.

Scenario Loss Estimates
The seismic-hazard evaluation is a description of potential earthquake effects at the site and a statement of the likelihood of their occurrence. Possible effects include ground shaking, ground rupture, and soil liquefaction. Building or other improvements on the site do not influence the hazard.
Faults in proximity to the site are evaluated for their potential to produce earthquake ground shaking at the site. Earthquakes with a high probability of occurrence during the life of a building produce moderately strong ground shaking. Major earthquakes with a small probability of occurrence during the building life are capable of producing very strong ground shaking at the site.
Strong ground motion for this evaluation is defined as that ground motion having a probability of exceedance of 10% in a 50-year exposure period, which has an average-recurrence interval of 475 years. Stated differently, there is a 90%-confidence level that ground motion at the site will not exceed the 475-year level in any 50-year period. This level of ground motion has the same exceedance probability as the seismic-zone map published as part of the seismic-design requirements of many building codes. The 475-year earthquake is sometimes described as the maximum probable or design-level earthquake.
Ground motion may be described in terms of the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI). The MMI scale is useful for categorizing the performance of structures in past earthquakes as it is based on a qualitative description of human perceptions and the performance of different types of structures during historic earthquakes. The MMI scale is shown in the following table:

INTENSITY DESCRIPTION
I Not felt except by a very few under especially favorable circumstances.
II Felt only by a few persons at rest, especially on upper floors of buildings.
Delicately suspended objects may swing.
III Felt quite noticeably indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings, but many people do not recognize it as an earthquake. Standing autos may rock slightly.
Vibration like passing of a truck.
IV During the day felt indoors by many, outdoors by few. At night, some awakened.

Fault rupture at the ground surface can cause more-severe localized damage than the widespread damage caused by ground shaking. The location of active surface faults in proximity to the site is an important factor in the earthquake hazard evaluation. Effects of ground rupture due to faulting are considered when estimating the degree of earthquake damage at existing structures located within a fault or drag zone.
Soil effects that may be caused by an earthquake are seismically induced settlement, liquefaction (loss of soil strength in saturated soil deposits during strong ground shaking), and slope failure (landslides or local failures triggered by earthquakes). Loss of foundation support and excessive settlement of foundations may result from the soil-related earthquake hazards, resulting in an increase in the amount of seismic-related damage a building may incur.
SITE-SPECIFIC SEISMIC HAZARD
Earthquake Ground Motion
The site is located approximately 35 miles north of the epicenter of the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which had a magnitude of M7.1. Ground shaking intensity in the area due to the Loma Prieta event was reported as MMI VII, with peak ground accelerations measured at less than 0.2g. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake, at a distance of 33 miles to the northwest, reportedly produced ground shaking intensity of MMI VIII in the vicinity of the project. Other earthquakes that have affected the site include two M7.0 events on the Hayward fault, one in 1836 and one in 1868, and the 1984 M6.2 Morgan Hill earthquake. These earthquakes produced less intense ground shaking than did the Loma Prieta earthquake.
The faults listed in the table below are capable of producing strong ground shaking at the site:

Concord/Green Valley 29 miles N 1955 M5.4 6.5
The site is located within an area of high seismic hazard per the seismic hazard maps published in the California Building Code (CBC). The CBC specifies a basic seismic design factor based on a Maximum Expected Peak Ground Acceleration of 1.80g. The site is within 15 kilometers of the Hayward fault; therefore, the base seismic design forces specified by the code reflects an amplified value to account for near-fault effects.
Earthquake ground motions at the site for the maximum probable earthquake (MPE) with a 10 percent probability of being exceeded during a 50-year period (475-year event) have been estimated in order to determine the expected ground shaking intensity at the site. The values of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) have been estimated using the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Hazard Mapping Project data and the seismic safety element of the City of Fremont General Plan.
According to the above-listed data, the PGA at the site associated with the 475-year earthquake is estimated to be 0.72g, which corresponds to an Effective Peak Ground Acceleration of 214 of 311

approximately 0.52g and MMI IX - X. The above data indicates that code-level earthquake ground motions to be used in the design of new buildings is approximately the same as the future MPE ground motion expected at the site.
Fault Rupture Hazard
The site is not located within a California Earthquake Fault-Rupture Hazard Zone (EFRHZ).
The nearest EFRHZ is for the Hayward fault, located approximately 1-1/2 miles to the northeast of the site. Since no known fault is known to cross or approach the site, the potential for ground surface rupture due to recognized faulting is considered to be low. 215 of 311

Soil and other Earthquake Hazards
According to maps published by the California Geologic Survey, the potential for soil liquefaction is low. Therefore, the potential for damage due to soil liquefaction is low.
Potential for earthquake-induced landslides or slope stability failure is low, due to the lack of slopes near the site.
The site is not located adjacent to a large body of water and is therefore not subjected to earthquake-related seiches or inundation. Therefore, potential for earthquake-related flooding at the site is low.
ESTIMATION OF SEISMIC RISK
The seismic-hazard evaluation and structural assessment are combined to estimate the risk of earthquake damage at the Subject Property. Seismic risk is characterized in terms of Scenario Expected Loss (SEL) and Scenario Upper Loos (SUL). The SEL and SUL are the estimates of the damage due to ground motions with a 10% probability of exceedance in a 50-year period and are expressed as a percentage of building-replacement cost. The following table is provided as an aid to interpreting the level of building damage represented by the estimated loss:

SEL/SUL VALUE DAMAGE STATE DESCRIPTION OF EXPECTED
DAMAGE
0 to 1% Slight Limited localized minor damage not
requiring repair.
1 to 10% Light Significant localized damage of some
components, generally not requiring repair.
10 to 30% Moderate Significant localized damage of many components, warranting repair.
30 to 60% Heavy Extensive damage, requiring major repairs. 60 to 100% Major
Major widespread damage that may result in
the facility being condemned, demolished, or
repaired.
Condition
Description: The amount of damage to an individual building subjected to strong earthquake ground shaking will
depend on a number of variables, including the intensity and duration of ground shaking, building configuration, structural systems, construction materials, structural
details including connections, nonstructural
components, and quality of construction. Published
seismic-risk-evaluation methodologies for existing
buildings are used as guidelines for calculating seismicdamage estimates. The performance of any specific structure can, and generally will, deviate substantially from the average values given by empirical-loss
functions. Therefore, the estimated damage calculated
using average-loss functions might be increased or
decreased to account for specific site and building
characteristics.
The seismic-risk-analysis methodology utilized for this evaluation includes two phases: seismic-hazard
evaluation, and determination of the damage estimate
per published documents (ATC-13 and NCEER 95-
0003). Two confidence levels of damage estimate are
reported herein: the mean confidence level, and the
90th-percentile confidence level. The mean, or
expected, loss is defined as the Scenario Expected Loss (SEL), and the 90th percentile, or ultimate, loss estimate is defined as the Scenario Upper Loss (SUL). Scenario
Loss (SL) estimates are based on ground motions that
have a 10% probability of exceedance in a 50-year
period. The above definitions are consistent with those contained in the "Standard Guide for Seismic-Risk

F. LIMITED DISABLED-ACCESS ASSESSMENT
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The ADA was written into law in 1990 and became effective on January 26, 1992. The ADA is not a building code; it is a civil rights law and enforcement is under the jurisdiction of the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ). And, while local building departments may require ADA-related disabled-access upgrades as conditions for building permit approvals, the DOJ does not recognize a local building department's authority to modify the requirements of the legislation, such as by allowing "Grandfathering" of a non-compliant condition. ADA regulations are applicable retroactively to existing buildings and there are no Grandfather provisions within the ADA, except in cases where an owner made upgrades in compliance with the original 1992 ADA design standards, and such applicable standards were later revised by the 2010 edition of the ADA. In this case, the owner is not retroactively required to upgrade previously implemented modifications until such a time as future renovations are undertaken.
The ADA, however, does not prohibit a state or local building department from adopting disabled-accessibility standards that are more restrictive than the ADA standards. While ADA standards are generally more restrictive than the requirements of local codes, the morerestrictive portions of either standard must be implemented. All future renovation work will have to meet the requirements of the more-restrictive standard.
There are three main sections of the ADA that apply to real property, which are identified as follows:
Title I – Employment-Related Compliance Provisions
Title II – Public Entity Compliance Provisions (e.g., government buildings) Title III – Compliance Provisions related to "Places of Public Accommodation" Under Title I of the ADA, it is the responsibility of an employer to make a disabled employee's workplace accessible; PCA excludes assessment of Title I compliance from its reporting.
Typically, the owner-tenant lease agreements stipulate that the respective tenants are responsible for all interior design features within their suites, including compliance with all ADA requirements.
Title III of the ADA requires properties that are open to the general public to provide access to the disabled. Depending upon the use and occupancy of a property, the property may or may not be classified as a "Place of Public Accommodation." Properties where the public has unencumbered access to site and most/some building interiors are generally considered "Places of Public Accommodation", where those that are secured, and access is by invitation only are generally not. With specific regard to the Subject Property, areas within office/warehouse buildings that are accessible to the public are considered places of public accommodation and are required to be fully accessible throughout. These areas include public parking and paths of travel to the main building entrance, and the main entry lobby.
Applicable disabled-access regulations contain the following established set of priorities for barrier removal:
Priority 1 – Accessible Approach and Entrance
Priority 2 – Access to Goods and Services
Priority 3 – Access to Public Toilet Rooms
225 of 311
Property Condition Assessments, LLC 31 33623 Mission Boulevard Confidential Client Material 01-25-0052
Format Copyrighted by PCA 2016
Priority 4 – Access to Other Items Such as Water Fountains and Public Telephones Non-compliant building spaces or components should be modified, and barriers should be removed when they are "Readily Achievable." This is interpreted to mean that the work is accomplished without unreasonable difficulty or expense, representing an "Undue Hardship" to the property owner. Barriers should be removed within the facility to allow independent access and use by the disabled. "Readily Achievable" is subjective and dependent upon a number of factors, including the financial wherewithal of the property owner. Accordingly, PCArecommended modifications for the Subject Property should be reviewed with legal counsel to determine which should be considered "Readily Achievable." Any items that appear to represent an "Undue Hardship" should be discussed with an enforcement representative of the DOJ and/or local building authorities for potential waiver of the requirement.
Condition
Site Access: Primary arrival into the site is vehicular. Arrival is provided through driveways from Mission Boulevard
and F Street.
A public sidewalk extends along both adjoining streets.
There is no path-of-travel from the public sidewalks to the entrance. The entrance door is at grade level and
must be accessed via the dirt/gravel parking lot.
Poor
Parking: A disabled-access parking space is not provided, nor is there a path-of-travel from the parking area to the
entrance.

Poor
Adequacy: Exterior and interior areas are not compliant with ADA design guidelines.
Recommendation(s): F.01 Compliant Sidewalk: Provide a sidewalk from the public way to the main building entrance. Ensure the existing door meets
requirements for opening width, threshold, and opening force. ($6,000)
F.02 Restroom Compliance: Upgrade the public restroom to meet ADA requirements. The restroom is currently not compliant with ADA design guidelines. Scope to also include addition of new compliant dual basin water fountain. This cost is a preliminary budget only, which should be validated by additional investigation and contractor bid[s].
