Request for Meeting Minutes and Field Allocation Clarification 1 message
Desiré Aguilar Atken Fri, Jun 19, 2026 at 3:07 PM
To: Trinity Gerome <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected], Maynard Estrellado <[email protected]>
Cc:
Hello Chris, Trinity, and Maynard,
I tried emailing you from UC Real United's domain Outlook email but the emails bounced back, as your email suspects it to be spam. Thus, I am sending the email from this email address, as I want to ensure you receive the email. Please see below:
Friday, 6/19/2026
Good afternoon,
First, I would like to thank everyone involved in organizing and facilitating the Union City Sports Advisory Meeting on June 18, 2026. As someone who is relatively new to the field allocation process and city involvement, I found the information presented to be extremely helpful and informative. I appreciate the time and effort that city staff dedicate to supporting youth as well as adult sports and recreational programs within our community.
I am writing with two requests.
First, would you please provide a copy of the meeting minutes from the June 18, 2026 Union City Sports Advisory Meeting, or direct me to where they will be posted online once available? I would like to review the information discussed so that I can better understand the City's processes and ensure that our organization is following all applicable policies and procedures.
Second, after the discussion regarding the Ballfield Use Policy, user priority classifications, and nonprofit organizations, I reviewed the publicly available IRS records (https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/) for local youth soccer organizations. Based on the information available through the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search, it appears that UC Real United (EIN is currently the only Union City-based youth soccer club with active nonprofit status in good standing. For your convenience, I have attached documentation showing UC Real United's current nonprofit status, as well as the IRS auto-revocation listings for other organizations discussed. Union City Youth Soccer League (EIN ) and Amor Sports Inc. (EIN are on the auto-revocation list, which means their non-profit status was revoked. Union City Youth Soccer League had their non-profit status revoked 5/15/2023 and Amor Sports Inc. had their non-profit status revoked on 5/15/2024 My intention in sharing this information is to ensure that our organization fully understands and follows the city's Ballfield Use Policy. Based on the user priority categories outlined in the policy, it appears that UC Real United may qualify under Priority Level 4 ("authorized user groups and local nonprofits") while the other organizations requesting fields qualify under Priority Level 5 (“ Programs conducted for residents and for-profit youths”).
With that understanding, we would respectfully request consideration for field allocations consistent with that priority classification. Specifically, we would like to request use of the Shorty Garcia fields for the following dates and times:
30 of 414
First, organizations that maintain active nonprofit status and comply with the city's requirements may not be receiving the priority consideration contemplated by the Ballfield Use Policy.
Second, because profit and non-nonprofit organizations are subject to different field use fees, the city may be foregoing revenue if nonprofit eligibility is not being routinely verified.
I was also concerned by comments made during the June 18,2026 Sports Advisory Committee meeting by Parks and Recreation Commission Chair Steve Nichols. Throughout the discussion, there appeared to be significant deference given to "legacy user groups" when discussing field allocations and user priorities.
Additionally, portions of the discussion created the impression that field assignments and allocation decisions may be influenced through discussions between Commission leadership, staff, and existing user groups outside of a publicly agendized process. If that impression is not accurate, I would welcome clarification regarding how those discussions are structured and how decisions are ultimately made within the city's established process.
As a member of the public and representative of a newer nonprofit organization, I left the meeting with the perception that historical field users may have greater influence over field allocation decisions than the priority classifications established in the city's Ballfield Use Policy. My concern is not with any particular organization, but rather with ensuring that field allocation decisions are made through a transparent process and in accordance with the policies adopted by the city.
To maintain public confidence in the process, I respectfully request clarification regarding how field allocation decisions are made and how the city's established priority classifications are applied when allocating field space among competing users.
To be clear, this is not about one organization versus another. It is about fairness, transparency, and ensuring that public resources are allocated in accordance with the policies adopted by the city.
U.C. Real United is the only currently active 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth soccer club in Union City, and we are simply seeking the opportunity to participate under the same rules and standards that apply to all field users. We fully support the city's policies and are committed to working cooperatively with staff and city leadership. We respectfully request a review of the current field allocation process, including how nonprofit status is verified and how user priority classifications are applied, to ensure the Ballfield Use Policy is implemented consistently and as written.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community. We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to working collaboratively toward a fair and transparent process for all organizations serving Union City youth.
Respectfully,
Eliseo Aguilar-Prado

Excluding Thanksgiving Week (November 22–28, 2026)
While we appreciate the allocation of field space at Town Estates, UC Real United is specifically requesting assignment to the Shorty Garcia fields. Based on our understanding of the city's Ballfield Use Policy and our nonprofit status, we respectfully request that the city review our allocation and consider assigning the requested Shorty Garcia field times listed above. We are happy to work collaboratively with city staff and other user groups to ensure field usage is organized in a manner consistent with city policy and in the best interests of Union City's youth athletes.
Thank you for your time and assistance. We appreciate your guidance and look forward to working cooperatively with the city throughout this process.

Agenda Item No. 4.4
DATE: June 23, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Amending the City of Union City's Conflict of Interest Code Pursuant to the 2026 Biennial Review
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Political Reform Act requires local agencies to review and update their conflict of interest codes to ensure they remain current and accurately designate positions that make or participate in making governmental decisions. As part of the 2026 biennial review, the City Clerk's Office reviewed the City's current Conflict of Interest Code, the current employee allocation and position control information provided by Human Resources and Finance, and input from department heads.
The proposed amendments update the Code to reflect current City classifications, remove obsolete or non-covered position references, separate combined classifications for clarity, revise disclosure categories where appropriate, and add positions that make or participate in making governmental decisions. The amendments are reflected in the attached resolution and amended Conflict of Interest Code.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the amended Conflict of Interest Code.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Goal B: Governance and Organization Effectiveness. Updating the Conflict of Interest Code supports transparent, accountable, and ethical governance by ensuring that the City's Form 700 filing obligations align with its current organizational structure and decision-making responsibilities.
BACKGROUND
The City of Union City has adopted the terms of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, section 18730, and any amendments duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission, as the City's Conflict of Interest Code. The Code identifies designated positions and establishes the disclosure categories that determine which 61 of 414
Agenda Item No. 4.4
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 June 23, 2026
financial interests designated filers must report on their Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700).
The Political Reform Act requires each local agency to review its Conflict of Interest Code at least every even-numbered year. The Code must accurately designate all positions that make or participate in making governmental decisions and must assign disclosure categories requiring disclosure of financial interests that may be foreseeably affected by those decisions.
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 6341-24 on August 13, 2024, approving the most recent comprehensive update to the Conflict of Interest Code. The City Council subsequently adopted Resolution No. 2025-023 on February 25, 2025, amending the Code to add the Neighborhood Preservation Inspector and Accounting Manager positions and remove the Budget Manager/Purchasing Agent position.
For the 2026 biennial review, the City Clerk's Office obtained the current employee allocation and position control information, reviewed the existing designated positions list, and met with department heads to determine whether positions should be added, removed, renamed, or assigned revised disclosure categories.
DISCUSSION
A position should be included in the Conflict of Interest Code if it makes or participates in making governmental decisions that may foreseeably have a material financial effect.
This includes positions that manage public investments; negotiate without significant substantive review; approve rates, rules, or regulations; issue, deny, suspend, or revoke permits, licenses, or similar authorizations; or prepare reports, analysis, opinions, or recommendations intended to influence a governmental decision.
Based on the 2026 review, staff recommends the following amendments:
• City Manager: Separate Management Analyst I/II into Management Analyst I and Management Analyst II, and separate Sustainability Analyst I/II into Sustainability Analyst I and Sustainability Analyst II. Existing disclosure categories are carried forward.
• Community and Recreation Services: Revise Homeless Program Coordinator/Case Manager to Homeless Program Coordinator, remove the Case Manager reference, and revise Community and Recreation Services Manager to disclosure categories 1 through 8.
• Economic and Community Development: Revise Chief Building Official / Senior Plans Examiner to Chief Building Official, rename Environmental Programs Inspector to Senior Environmental Programs Inspector, and remove Senior Building Inspector as an obsolete title reference.
• Finance: Add Business License Coordinator and Finance Specialist III, separate Management Analyst I/II into Management Analyst I and Management Analyst II, and remove Supervising Accountant as an obsolete classification. • Public Works: Add Streets Supervisor, Transit Analyst I, and Transit Analyst II. 62 of 414
Agenda Item No. 4.4
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 3 June 23, 2026
Streets Supervisor is included as a correction to align the written Code with existing filing administration.
• Boards, Commissions, and Committees: The Economic Development Advisory Team listing is updated to include the Alternate At-Large Member position created by Resolution No. 2026-008. The alternate position is included under the same disclosure categories as those assigned to Economic Development Advisory Team members.
The proposed amendments also include technical cleanup to ensure the Conflict of Interest Code reflects current titles, removes obsolete classifications, separates combined analyst classifications where appropriate, and aligns the written Code with current filing administration.
The proposed amendments are reflected in Exhibit A to the Resolution. A redlined version of the Conflict of Interest Code is also included as a staff report attachment for reference to illustrate the proposed changes.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendments have no fiscal impact. Reviewing and amending the Conflict of Interest Code is conducted within existing staff duties and does not require additional appropriation.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the City of Union City Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to the 2026 biennial review.

by a clear explanation of the reasoning behind them.
Individuals with the greatest practical influence on public projects are not always elected officials or department heads. Increasingly they may be consultants, contract professionals, retired annuitants, or temporary staff. The public should have confidence that disclosure obligations are applied consistently regardless of employment classification
I encourage the Council to ask staff to provide additional information regarding the methodology used to assign disclosure categories and how disclosure determinations for consultants and similarly situated personnel are documented and made available for public review.
Thank you for your consideration.

Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 4.5
DATE: June 23, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Receive and Acknowledge the Annual Rate Adjustments for Solid Waste, Recycling, and Organics Collection Services, Effective July 1, 2026, Pursuant to Article 11 of the Franchise Agreements with Allied Waste Services of North America, LLC and Tri-City Economic Development Corporation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to receive and acknowledge the annual rate adjustments for solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services, effective July 1, 2026, pursuant to Article 11 of the Franchise Agreements with Allied Waste Services of North America, LLC (“Allied” dba “Republic Services”) and Tri-City Economic Development Corporation (“Tri-CED”).
The City's Franchise Agreements with Republic Services and Tri-CED provide for solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services and prescribe an annual Index-Based Rate Adjustment and City review. The annual rate review component is designed to ensure that rates remain consistent with actual operating costs while maintaining reliable collection services for solid waste, recycling, and organics for Union City residents and businesses. The approved rates are then charged directly to both residential and commercial customers.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This report is in alignment with the following City Council priorities:
Goal D: Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure Strategy 12: Coordinate with City departments, commercial and residential customers to implement the requirements of state organics and food recovery legislation.
Strategy 13: Continue monitoring the Collection Services Franchise Agreement Contractors' assistance with organics regulations and waste diversion compliance. 89 of 414
Agenda Item No. 4.5
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 4 June 23, 2026
BACKGROUND
The City maintains Franchise Agreements with Republic Services and Tri-CED for the collection, processing, recycling, and disposal of solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials generated within the City. The Franchise Agreements include a methodology for annual Index-Based Rate Adjustments that allows rates to be adjusted to reflect changes in operating costs and regulatory requirements. Under the Franchise Agreements, the compensation and rate-setting methodology, commencing in FY 2026- 2027, relies on the annual change in a single index or CPI, specifically series CUSR0000SEHG, Water and Sewer and Trash Collection Services in the U.S. City Average, all urban consumers, seasonally adjusted, compiled and published by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, there is an annual 5.0% cap on the rate increase for solid waste, recycling, and organics collection. Any percentage above 5.0% rolls over to the next fiscal year.
Republic Services and Tri-CED had submitted their Fiscal Year ("FY") 2026-2027 rate adjustment applications in accordance with the Franchise Agreements. The City retained R3 Consulting Group, Inc. ("R3"), the City's solid waste and recycling consultant, to independently review the submitted applications, verify the calculations, and confirm compliance with the Franchise Agreements.
The annual rate review process ensures that collection rates remain consistent with the actual cost of providing service while maintaining compliance with contractual obligations and regulatory requirements.
Using the Index-Based Rate Adjustment methodology established in the Franchise Agreements, the FY 2026-2027 rates were adjusted to reflect changes in collection costs, disposal costs, bad debt, City fees, and the newly adopted StopWaste Regulatory Fee.
The resulting rate adjustments include:
• Residential customers receive services from both Republic and Tri-CED. As a result, the combined residential rate adjustments range from approximately 3.11% to 3.53%, depending on cart size and service level.
• Commercial and multi-family customer rate adjustments vary based on service type, container size, collection frequency, and customer-specific service configurations. Depending on the services received, commercial and multi-family customers may be affected by rate adjustments from Republic, Tri-CED, or both. • The rates also include the new StopWaste Regulatory Fee adopted by the Alameda County Waste Management Authority, effective July 1, 2026, to support implementation of regional waste reduction, recycling, organics diversion, and regulatory compliance programs, including SB 1383, SB 54, and AB 939.
DISCUSSION
Rate Adjustment Review
On February 27, 2026, Republic Services and Tri-CED submitted their FY 2026-2027 Index-Based Rate Adjustment applications to the City.
90 of 414
Agenda Item No. 4.5
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 4 June 23, 2026
The City retained R3 Consulting Group to conduct an independent review of the submitted applications and supporting documentation. R3's review included verification of:
• Index calculations
• Disposal cost adjustments
• Bad debt calculations
• City fee adjustments
• Supporting documentation
• Mathematical accuracy
• Compliance with Franchise Agreement requirements
Following review by both R3 and City staff, it was determined that the calculations submitted by Republic Services and Tri-CED were accurate and consistent with the methodology established in the Franchise Agreements. Republic Services and Tri-CED subsequently reviewed the final calculations and concurred with the results. While the rate application process authorizes the City Manager to approve adjustments of up to
5.0%, staff recommends that the City Council acknowledge and receive the FY 2026- 2027 rate adjustments calculated pursuant to the standard methodology outlined in the Franchise Agreements.
The complete Republic Services and Tri-CED rate schedules are included as exhibits to the resolution. Below are explanations of the rate increases, including the StopWaste regulatory fee.
Residential Rate Adjustments
The proposed FY 2026-2027 residential rates include adjustments for collection services, disposal costs, bad debt, City fees, and the implementation of the new StopWaste Regulatory Fee.
The resulting residential rate adjustments range from approximately 3.11 percent to 3.53 percent depending upon cart size and service level.
As an example, the monthly rate for a customer subscribed to a 35-gallon landfill cart, with any sized recycling and organics carts, will increase from $69.09 per month to $71.76 per month, representing an increase of $2.67 per month.
Commercial and Multi-Family Rate Adjustments
Commercial and multi-family rates were calculated using the same Franchise Agreement methodology and include adjustments associated with collection costs, disposal costs, bad debt, City fees, and regulatory fees.
Commercial and multi-family rate adjustments vary depending upon:
Container size
Service frequency
Service type
Recycling and organics service levels
91 of 414
Agenda Item No. 4.5
City Council Staff Report Page 4 of 4 June 23, 2026
Customer-specific service configurations
As an example, a commercial customer using one 1-yard landfill bin, one 96-gallon recycling cart, and one 64-gallon organics cart, serviced once per week, will experience a monthly increase from $283.11 to $292.88.
StopWaste Regulatory Fee
In March 2026, the Alameda County Waste Management Authority (StopWaste) adopted a new Regulatory Fee applicable to residential, commercial, multi-family, and drop-box accounts effective July 1, 2026.
The fee was adopted to support regional implementation of State-mandated waste reduction, recycling, organics diversion, and producer responsibility programs, including:
• SB 1383 Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Program
• SB 54 Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act • AB 939 Integrated Waste Management Act
• Other regional waste reduction and sustainability initiatives The StopWaste Regulatory Fee is included within the proposed FY 2026-2027 rates.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Collection Services Rate Schedules will become effective July 1, 2026. The proposed rate adjustments will support the continued provision of reliable solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services while maintaining compliance with contractual obligations and regulatory requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to receive and acknowledge the annual rate adjustments for solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services, effective July 1, 2026, pursuant to Article 11 of the Franchise Agreements with Republic Services and Tri-CED.

414 13th Street, Suite 450, Oakland, CA 94612 | p 916.782.7821 | f 916.782.7824 | www.r3cgi.com Background
R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3) was engaged by the City of Union City (City) to provide a review of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 rate adjustment application provided by its contracted solid waste services providers, Republic Services (Republic) and Tri-CED Community Recycling (Tri-CED). The City has two exclusive Franchise Agreements (Agreements); one with Republic for garbage, recycling (in bins), and organic waste1 and one with Tri-CED for recycling in carts. Republic provides billing services for both haulers on a quarterly basis for residential customers and monthly for multi-family and commercial customers. This is the first rate adjustment in the City’s new Agreements with both Republic and Tri-CED.
The Agreements include the terms and conditions of Sections 11.2 and 11.3 of describing the methodology for annual rate adjustments.
Both haulers are required to submit the applications to the City on or before March 1, 2026, so that the City has time to review them and notify the haulers regarding the outcome of the Index-Based Rate Adjustment to the rates effective July 1, 2026. If Republic or Tri-CED does not submit the request for a rate adjustment to the City by March 1, the rate adjustment is waived per the Agreements. Republic and Tri-CED submitted their respective rate adjustment requests on February 27, 2026.
Summary of Findings
R3 reviewed the mathematical calculations and supporting documentation submitted by Republic and TriCED and confirmed the accuracy of Republic’s and Tri-CED’s calculations.

Review of Request
Index-Based Rate Adjustment Methodology
The Index-Based Rate Adjustment described in the Agreements is an annual adjustment to the collection service rates that customers are charged for their collection services. The rates are adjusted based on index values provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is 100.0% of the average change for the twelve (12) month period from January to December. The index stated in the Agreements is series CUSR0000SEHG, Water and Sewer and Garbage Collection Services in U.S. city average, all urban consumers, seasonally adjusted.
For this first rate adjustment, effective July 1, 2026, the Index-Based Rate Adjustment is based on the percentage change in CPI for the average CPI value from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, compared to the average CPI value from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent (1/100%).
The Agreement also includes provisions for annual adjustments to disposal per ton rates, of which are adjusted two times a year by BLT Enterprises of Fremont (BLT), bad debt, and City fees. City fees were adjusted by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for this year. The CPI calculation is capped at 5.0% each year but may be rolled over to the subsequent Rate Year.
Tables 2 and 3, below, breaks down both hauler’s components for the most popular residential customer rate, 35-gallon garbage with any size recycling and organics. For commercial customers, Table 3 highlights a commercial customer with 1-yard garbage bin, a 96-gallon recycling cart, and 64-gallon organics cart that is serviced once per week.

City of Union City – FY 2026-27 Rate Adjustment Review Page 3 of 3 Recommendations & Next Steps
R3 recommends City acceptance of the FY 2026-27 collection rates as adjusted by the standard methodology outlined in the Agreements. R3 reviewed Republic and Tri-CED’s calculations for accuracy and adherence to the terms and conditions of the Agreements, which confirmed that the calculations are accurate and correct. Both Republic and Tri-CED have reviewed the calculated and agree to the accuracy. While the Agreements allow for the City Manager to approve rate requests below 5% and refer them to the City Council at her discretion, the City anticipates bringing this adjustment to City Council to formally approve the 2026-27 solid waste rates.

FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Newly Established Classification of Environmental Programs Technician, Updating the Classification and Compensation Plan to Include the Classification of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the newly established classification of Environmental Programs Technician, updating the Classification and Compensation Plan to include the classification, approving a side letter, and approving an amendment to the salary schedule.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
The program supports Goal B. Governance and Organization Effectiveness of the strategic plan in aligning critical city services with current staffing levels.
BACKGROUND
Historically, there have been two Environmental Programs Inspectors in the Environmental Programs Division. Only one of those positions has been filled in recent years. In the Biennial Budget for FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026-2027, the two inspector positions were replaced with a Senior Environmental Programs Inspector position and a junior-level Environmental Programs Technician position. There was no fiscal impact to the general fund with this adjustment.
DISCUSSION
The proposed classification specification establishes the new Environmental Programs Technician classification to align with the needs of the Economic and Community Development Department, define the necessary experience and skills expected for the role, and support the programs and services administered in the Environment Programs Division.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with Goal C (Economic Community Development & Public Safety).
Strategy 16: Create a plan for leveraging social service resources in Union City and the County to make efficient use of limited resources.
BACKGROUND
On July 1, 2024, the City of Union City was awarded a two-year grant contract in the amount of $557,601 from the Alameda County Probation Department to provide Delinquency Prevention Network (DPN) Services for a Youth Service Center by the Union City Youth & Family Services (YFS) Division.

FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Second Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement for Preparation of the Economic Development Strategic Plan with Strategic Economics, Inc., to Increase the Agreement Amount by $10,740 for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $141,878.40
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a second amendment to the agreement between the City and Strategic Economics, Inc. (C25ECD0024) to increase the agreement amount by $10,740 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $141,878.40 to continue work on the Economic Development Strategic Plan (“Plan”).
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is in alignment with:
Goal 1, Strategy 1: Establish a comprehensive fiscal stability and sustainability plan to address the General Fund’s long-term structural deficit; and Goal C, Strategy 6: Update the Economic Development Strategic Plan to meet the City’s financial goals and build regional partnerships.
BACKGROUND
Strategic Economics, Inc. (the “Consultant”) was retained to assist staff and the City Council in updating the Plan, a policy document intended to guide the City’s economic development efforts over the next five years. On June 11, 2024, the City entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with the Consultant for the Plan update in the amount of $131,138.40 (Resolution No. 6308-24).
On August 13, 2024, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement, authorizing the Consultant to examine confidential sales and use tax records maintained by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration about 163 of 414
Agenda Item No. 4.10
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 June 23, 2026
sales and use taxes collected on behalf of the City (Resolution No. 6349-24).
The draft Plan was reviewed by the Economic Development Advisory Team on March 19, 2026, and by the City Council in a Study Session on June 9, 2026. The final draft of the Plan is anticipated to be presented to the City Council for consideration and adoption in July 2026.
DISCUSSION
Over the past year, the Consultant has completed substantial work on the Plan, including:
• Preparing a demographic profile of Union City’s population and workforce; • Analyzing business sector and employment trends;
• Assessing the City’s supply of non-residential land;
• Conducting stakeholder outreach and engagement activities; • Evaluating the fiscal contributions of non-residential land uses to the City’s budget;
• Identifying opportunity sites for reinvestment and redevelopment; and • Preparing and presenting an Economic Assessment Key Findings Report.
While the Plan is nearing completion, further refinement and incorporation of any additional feedback from the City Council are necessary before finalization and adoption.
In addition, the scope provides for the Consultant to attend the City Council meeting where the Plan will be adopted. Accordingly, the proposed Second Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement would increase the contract amount by $10,740, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $141,878.40.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Economic Development budget has adequate funds included in the FY 2025-2026 Budget under “Professional Consulting” (Account No. 11041022 54110) to cover the increase.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a second amendment to the agreement with Strategic Economics, Inc.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Second Amendment to the Service Agreement with Bay Area Tree Specialists, in the Not-to-Exceed Amount of $68,050, for a Total NotTo-Exceed Contract Amount of $705,250, and Approving a Total Notto-Exceed Project Budget, Including Contingency, in the Amount of $821,250, for Tree Pruning and Removal
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to the Service Agreement (“Second Amendment”) with Bay Area Tree Specialists, in the not-to-exceed amount of $68,050, for a total notto-exceed contract amount of $705,250, and approving a total not-to-exceed project budget, including contingency, in the amount of $821,250, for Tree Pruning and Removal.
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.
BACKGROUND
The City of Union City has over 50,000 City-maintained trees that beautify the various parks, public streets, and City facilities. The proper care and maintenance of these important resources involve inspection, trimming, pruning, and, on rare occasions, removal, based on criteria that balance the protection of the tree as an urban forest investment with safety and aesthetics. Each year, the Grounds Division of Public Works reviews the tree pruning needs of the City and makes recommendations as to which trees, in which neighborhoods, should be pruned. Additionally, the Grounds Division prepares for each winter storm season by allocating contingency funds for emergency-response tree work to clear incidents involving fallen branches or trees in the public right-of-way.
The sheer volume of both the routine and emergency tree work requires additional support.

Agenda Item No. 4.11
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 June 23, 2026
On September 4, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6364-24, awarding a contract to Bay Area Tree Specialists for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, in the amount of $272,200, with a total not-to-exceed project amount of $365,000, which included a contingency amount of $92,800, and with an option to extend the contract for an additional year. The option was exercised with the First Amendment to the Service Agreement on July 1, 2025, increasing both the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 amount by the contingency, in the amount of $92,800, and adding funds for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, in the not-to-exceed amount of $272,200, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $637,200.
DISCUSSION
Staff continues to be satisfied with Bay Area Tree Specialists’ performance and requests that their services be retained for an additional three months, during which staff will prepare and solicit a successor contractor through a competitive RFP process.
The Second Amendment, in the not-to-exceed amount of $68,050, will allow Bay Area Tree Specialists to continue providing the City with assistance in tree pruning and removal and extend the term of the agreement to September 30, 2026. The additional contingency, in the amount of $23,200, will fund the mobilization of manpower and equipment during storm events to clear incidents of fallen branches or trees in the public right-of-way.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Second Amendment to the Service Agreement with Bay Area Tree Specialists, in the amount of $68,050, will be funded with monies available in the Landscape Lighting Assessment District (LLAD) Fund (Account Number 282-33025-54111).
As in previous years, staff recommends a $23,200 contingency (approximately 34%), funded from the Gas Tax Fund (Account Number 250-33025-54111), which will allow the City to respond to emergencies, such as fallen trees during major storms and strong wind events, and other unplanned tree maintenance at bid unit prices. The total funding, in the amount of $91,250, is identified in the approved Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2025- 2026 & 2026-2027.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the award of a construction contract to Galaxy Services, dba Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning, in the amount of $138,800, and approving a total construction budget in the amount of $140,878, for the Mark Green Sports Center AHU Replacement, City Project No. 26-20.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following City Council priority:
Goal D: Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure Strategy 2: Implement the City’s capital improvement plan.
BACKGROUND
In June 2025, two air handler units (also known as air conditioning units) at the Mark Green Sports Center failed nearly simultaneously. Public Works Facilities Division staff responded and engaged a contractor whose assessment confirmed that the two units are beyond repair and in need of replacement.
The existing units were installed in 2005 and have already exceeded their expected 15- 20-year useful life. Unfortunately, it is not possible to perform a like-for-like replacement due to advances in technology in the nearly twenty-one years since these units were installed. The situation is further complicated by significant environmental regulatory changes in the State of California regarding the types of refrigerants allowed -- all of which required a complete redesign of the entire air handler system for the Mark Green Sports Center.

RE: City Council Agenda Item 4.12 - Mark Green Sports Center AHU Replacement, City Project No. 26-20 Attached is an updated Draft Resolution for consideration by the City Council for Agenda Item 4.12. After the agenda packet was published, staff identified a mathematical error in the Staff Report. The contingency amount was incorrectly listed as $2,078. The correct contingency amount is $20,820.
The table in the Discussion section for the recommended project budget for construction should read as follows:
Construction Contract Amount (including Alternative Bids): $138,800 Contingency (~15% of Construction Contract): $20,820
Total Estimated Construction Cost: $159,620
As a result, all references to the total construction budget should be updated from $140,878 to $159,620.
The agenda item title should read:
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Award of a Construction Contract to Galaxy Services dba Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning, in the Amount of $138,800, and Approving a Total Construction Budget in the Amount of $159,620, for the Mark Green Sports Center AHU Replacement, City Project No. 26-20.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Accepting a Donation from the Ponderosa Landing 2 Homeowner Association (HOA), in the Amount of $34,895, Increasing the Revenue Projections in the SB 1 Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Fund by $34,895, and Appropriating the $34,895 to the SB 1 Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Fund for the Construction of Cobblestone Medians West of Union City Boulevard at the Intersections of Both Regents Boulevard and Alvarado Boulevard as Part of the Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project, City Project No. 17-29
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution accepting a donation from the Ponderosa Landing 2 Homeowner Association (HOA), in the amount of $34,895, increasing the revenue projections in the SB 1 Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Fund by $34,895, and appropriating the $34,895 to the SB 1 Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Fund for the construction of cobblestone medians west of Union City Boulevard at the intersections of both Regents Boulevard and Alvarado Boulevard, as part of the Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project, City Project No. 17-29.
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.
BACKGROUND
On February 27, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6261-24, awarding a construction contract to Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc for the Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project, City Project No. 17-29. The groundbreaking ceremony for the project was celebrated on June 28, 2024, and construction began in March 2024.
On September 27, 2025, the City celebrated the opening of newly constructed bike lanes 191 of 414

and other improvements on Union City Boulevard with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, during which the community enjoyed activities, exhibits, and food.
On December 9, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-162, certifying completion of the baseline construction for the Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project, City Project No. 17-29.
DISCUSSION
The Ponderosa Landing 2 Homeowner Association (HOA) had planned to enhance the medians on Union City Boulevard at the intersections of Regents Boulevard and Alvarado Boulevard to improve the appearance of the community's entrances. However, the HOA construction did not move forward due to high costs associated with the scope of work, bonding requirements, and necessary permitting.
During construction of the Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project, the HOA contacted City staff about installing cobblestone median paving along Union City Boulevard. The HOA asked whether the medians at the intersections at Regents Boulevard and Alvarado Boulevard, west of Union City Boulevard, were included in the project scope. Staff confirmed that these locations were not part of the project. The HOA then inquired whether the City would consider installing cobblestone paving at these medians if the HOA provided a financial contribution toward the work.
Given the HOA’s contribution, the consistency in appearance, and the reduced maintenance for the City, staff supports proceeding with the installation of cobblestone paving at these locations. Staff has requested a cost proposal from Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc. (see attached Exhibit A). The HOA was invoiced for the amount and submitted a check in the same amount (Exhibit B).
Staff also requests that the City Council recognize the HOA for their generous contribution toward the beautification of the community at a future meeting once the project is complete.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Ponderosa Landing 2 Homeowner Association will pay the full cost of the project.
The accepted funds will be received by and expended out of the SB 1 Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Fund (Fund 251). The project account number is 251-91729-57128.
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.
