Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v Santa Clara County Open Space Authority
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (“SVTA vs.

SCCOSA”). This ruling is the most significant legal document in further legally clarifying Proposition 218. Several of the most important elements of the ruling included further emphasis that:
 Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit  The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined
 Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the assessment district
This Engineer’s Report and the assessments are consistent with the SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California based on the following factors:

1. The assessment revenue derived from real property in each Assessment District is extended only on specifically identified improvements and/or maintenance and servicing of those improvements in that Assessment District and other improvements in the Assessment Districts that confer special benefits to property in that Assessment Districts.

2. The use of Assessment Districts ensures that the improvements constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment, and that such improvements provide a direct advantage to the property in the Assessment District.

3. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the improvements and maintenance thereof financed with assessment revenues in each Assessment District benefit the properties in that Assessment District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the City derive from such improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in each Assessment District are more extensive and direct than a general increase in property values.

4. The assessments paid in each Assessment District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that Assessment District receives from such improvements and the maintenance thereof because:
a. The Engineer’s Report specifically identifies the permanent public improvements that the assessments will finance;
b. The costs of such improvements are estimated and calculated; and Item 11.c

c. Such improvement and maintenance costs in each Assessment District are allocated to each property within each Assessment District based upon the estimated special benefits received from the improvements.

Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property
On June 8, 2009, the 4th District Court of Appeals amended its original opinion upholding a benefit assessment for property in the downtown area of the City of Pomona. On July 22, 2009, the California Supreme Court denied review. Hence Dahms is good law and binding precedent for assessments. In Dahms the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon
On December 31, 2009, the 1st District Court of Appeals overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based in part on relative costs within sub-areas of the assessment district instead of proportional special benefits.

Beutz v. County of Riverside
On May 26, 2010 the 4th District Court of Appeals issued a decision on the Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside (“Beutz”) appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits.

Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeals issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City of San Diego had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

Compliance with Current Law
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution and with the SVTA decision because the improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the improvements are directly available to and will directly benefit property in the Assessment Districts; and the improvements provide a direct advantage to property in the Assessment Districts that would not be received in absence of the assessments.

This Engineer’s Report is consistent with Beutz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because the improvements will directly benefit property in the Assessment Districts and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the assessments. The Engineer’s Report is consistent with Bonander because the assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the improvements and proportional special benefit to each property.

Changes To The Assessment Districts
Changes within the Districts that affect the 2026-27 levy of assessments are outlined below.

Annexations
No new annexations have been completed since the fiscal year 2025-26 Engineer’s Report was approved.

New Districts
No new districts have been formed since the fiscal year 2025-26 Engineer’s Report was approved.

Maximum Assessment Rates
All Assessment Districts include a budget cost and assessment rate inflation provision.

The authorized maximum assessment rates for the Assessment Districts are subject to an annual adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index-U for the San Francisco Bay Area as of December of each succeeding year (the “CPI”), with a maximum annual adjustment not to exceed 3%. Any change in the CPI in excess of 3% shall be cumulatively reserved as the “Unused CPI” and shall be used to increase the maximum authorized assessment rate in years in which the CPI is less than 3%. The maximum authorized assessment rate is equal to the maximum assessment rate in the first fiscal year the assessment was levied adjusted annually by the minimum of 1) 3% or 2) the change in the CPI plus any Unused CPI as described above.

The change in the CPI from December 2024 to December 2025 was 3.03%. Therefore, the maximum authorized assessment rates for the Assessment Districts for fiscal year 2026-27 are increased by 3.00%.

Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

The budgets and assessments for fiscal year 2026-27 include CPI adjustments that in each case result in a proposed assessment that is equal to or less than the maximum authorized assessment for fiscal year 2026-27. For District's with significant reserve fund balances or reduced budget cost, the fiscal year 2026-27 assessment may be levied below the maximum authorized assessment rate.

The maximum authorized assessment rates and proposed fiscal year 2026-27 assessment rates are listed in the table on the following pages.

Method of Apportionment
Method of Apportionment
This section of the Engineer’s Report explains the benefits to be derived from the proposed Improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total assessments to properties within the Assessment Districts.

The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the relative special benefits to be derived by the properties in the Assessment Districts over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. The assessment is apportioned to lots and parcels in proportion to the relative cost of the special benefits from the Improvements. Special benefit is calculated for each parcel in the Improvement District using the following process:

1. Identification of all benefit factors derived from the Improvements

2. Calculation of the proportion of these benefits that are general

3. Determination of the relative special benefit within different areas within the Improvement District

4. Determination of the relative special benefit per property type

5. Calculation of the specific assessment for each individual parcel based upon special vs. general benefit; location, property type, property characteristics, improvements on property and other supporting attributes Discussion of Benefit
In summary, the assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits.

With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that the value of the special benefits must exceed the cost of the assessment:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the Improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:

A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Permanent Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts.

B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Permanent Public Improvements within the Assessment Districts.

C. Improved Views within the Assessment Districts.

D. Extension of a property’s outdoor areas and Landscaped Areas for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.

E. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the assessments, would not have been created.

F. Drainage of water and runoff from property in the Assessment District G. Protection from flooding and standing water due to the improved drainage systems
In this case, the recent the SVTA v. SCCOSA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties from similar public improvements in three distinct areas:
 Proximity
 Expanded or improved access
 Views
Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:

The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district’s property values).

Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed herein further strengthen the basis of these assessments.

General versus Special Benefit
In absence of the assessments, the Improvements in each Assessment District would not be provided, so the Improvements are “over and above” what otherwise would be provided. Many of the parcels would not even exist if the assessments were not established because an assessment for the specific Improvements within the Assessment Districts was a condition of development approval.

All of the Assessment proceeds derived from each Assessment District will be utilized to fund the cost of providing a level of tangible “special benefits” in the form of proximate landscaping, lighting, and other permanent public improvements. The Assessments are also structured to provide specific Improvements within each Assessment District, further ensuring that the Improvements funded by the Assessments are of specific and special benefit to property within each Assessment District.

Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Although these Improvements may be available to the general public at large, the public landscaping and other public improvements in each Assessment District were specifically designed, located and created to provide additional and improved public resources for the direct advantage of property inside the Assessment District, and not the public at large. Other properties that are either outside an Assessment District or within an Assessment District and not assessed, do not enjoy the unique proximity, access, views and other special benefit factors described previously. Moreover, many of the homes and other improvements on parcels in the Assessment Districts would not have been built if the Assessments were not established because an assessment for public landscaping and lighting was a condition of development approval.

Benefit Finding
In summary, real property located within the boundaries of the Assessment Districts distinctly and directly benefits from closer proximity, access and views of Improvements funded by the Assessments, the creation of developable parcels and from the extension of usable land area provided by the assessments. The Improvements are specifically designed to serve local properties in each Assessment District, not other properties or the public at large. The Assessment Districts have been narrowly drawn to include those parcels that receive a direct advantage from the Improvements. The public at large and other properties outside the Assessment Districts receive only limited benefits from the Improvements because they do not have proximity, good access or views of the Improvements. These are special benefits to property in the Improvement District in much the same way that sewer and water facilities, sidewalks and paved streets enhance the utility and desirability of property and make them more functional to use, safer and easier to access.

Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Without the Assessments, the public improvements within the Assessment Districts would not be maintained and would turn into brown, unmaintained and unusable public improvements and public lands. If this happened, it would create a significant and material negative impact on the desirability, utility and value of property in the Assessment District. The Improvements are, therefore, clearly above what otherwise would be provided. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that if Assessments were not collected and the Improvements were not maintained as a result, properties in the Assessment Districts would decline in desirability, utility and value by significantly more than the amount of the Assessments. We therefore conclude that all the landscaping Improvements funded by the Assessments are of special benefit to the identified benefiting properties located within the Assessment Districts and that the value of the special benefits from such Improvements to property in the Assessment Districts reasonably exceeds the cost of the Assessments for every assessed parcel in the Assessment Districts. (In other words, as required by Proposition 218: the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on each parcel reasonably exceeds the cost of the assessments.)
Parks Improvements
Although the analysis summarized above concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration is made for a portion of the benefits from park and recreation Improvements being general because such improvements can be used by the public at large. Therefore, a more conservative approach for park and recreation Improvements is to estimate a percentage of general benefits from such Improvements and establish a requirement for funding from other sources to cover any general benefits from in the Assessment Districts with park and recreation Improvements.

Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

One measure of general benefits from park and recreation Improvements is the percentage of time such park and recreation Improvements are used by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers or property owners in the Assessment District.

Field surveys conducted by SCI in many other similar communities in California have found that for similar local parks such as those within certain Assessment Districts, typically 5% of the park users do not live or work within the Assessment District. This is a measure of the general benefits to the public at large. When people outside the Assessment District use parks, they diminish the availability of parks for property within the Assessment District. Therefore, another 5% of general benefits are allocated for any general benefit to property within the Assessment District and any other benefits to property outside of the Assessment District. Combining these two measures of general benefits, we conclude that 10% of the benefits from the park and recreation Improvements may be general benefits.

For each Assessment District funding parks and recreation Improvements, the City will contribute from sources other than the assessments, a minimum of 10% to cover any general benefits. These contributions will serve to offset any general benefits.

Other Improvements
Quantification of General Benefit
Although the analysis used to support these assessments concludes that the benefits are solely special, as described above, consideration must be made that a portion of the benefits from the assessments for Improvements other than parks are general. General benefits cannot be funded by these assessments - the funding must come from other sources.

The maintenance and servicing of such Improvements is also partially funded, directly and indirectly from other sources including property owners, City of Vacaville, the County of Solano and the State of California. This funding comes in the form of grants, development fees, special programs, and general funds, as well as direct maintenance and servicing of ancillary facilities (e.g. curbs, gutters, streets, drainage systems, etc.).

This funding from other sources more than compensates for general benefits, if any, received by the properties within such Assessments Districts.

Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

As noted earlier, in the 2009 Dahms case, the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit on the rationale that the services funded by the assessments were directly provided within the assessment district. It is also important to note that the improvements and services funded by the assessments in the Dahms case are similar to the improvements and services funded by the Assessments described in this Engineer’s Report, which the Court in Dahms found to be 100% special benefit. Also, similar to the assessments in Dahms, the Assessments described in this Engineer’s Report fund improvements and services directly provided within the Assessment District and every benefiting property in the Assessment District enjoys proximity and access to the Improvements. Therefore, Dahms establishes a basis for minimal or zero general benefits from the Assessments.

The General Benefits from these assessments may be quantified as illustrated in the following table.

TABLE 4 – GENERAL BENEFIT FACTORS
Benefit Factor
Relative
Weight
General Benefit
Contribution
Relative
General
Benefit
Creation of parcels 90 0% 0
Access and extension of open space 2 10% 0.2
Minimize local flooding 2 10% 0.2
Improved views 4 10% 0.4
Improved nighttime visibility and safety from streetlights 2 20% 0.4 100 1.2
Total Calculated General Benefit = 1.2%
As a result, the City will contribute at least 1.2% of the total budget from sources other than the assessments. This contribution offsets any general benefits from the Assessment Services.

This general benefit contribution is the sum of the following components:

The City owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces curb and gutter along the border of the Assessment Districts improvements. This curb and gutter serves to support, contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the improvements. The contribution from the City towards general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

The City owns and maintains local public streets along the border of the Assessment District improvements. These public streets provide access to the improvements for its enjoyment as well as efficient maintenance. The contribution from the City towards general benefit from the maintenance local public streets is conservatively estimated to be 1%.

The value of the construction of the improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non-assessment funds, this “annuity” can be used to offset general benefit costs, and is conservatively estimated to contribute 25%.

Therefore the total General Benefit is conservatively quantified at 1.2% which is more than offset by the total non-assessment contribution towards general benefit of 27%.

Assessment Apportionment
The assessments are apportioned among all lots and parcels within the Assessment Districts on the basis of Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU). This EDU methodology is commonly used to distribute assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of assessments. For the purposes of this Engineer’s Report, all properties are designated an EDU value, which is each property’s relative benefit in relation to a single family home on one parcel. The "benchmark" property is the single family detached dwelling which is equal to one Equivalent Dwelling Unit benefit factor.

Residential Properties
All improved residential properties that represent a single residential dwelling unit are assigned one Equivalent Dwelling Unit or 1.0 EDU. Traditional houses, zero-lot line houses, townhomes, and duplexes are included in this category.

The special benefits derived from the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts are conferred on property and are not based on any one property owner’s use of the improvements. However, it is ultimately people who enjoy the special benefits described above, use the City’s grounds and facilities and control property values by placing a value on special benefits to be provided by the Districts. Therefore, the assessments are proportionately related to the relative number of people who live on, work at or otherwise use a property.

Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Properties with more than one residential unit are designated as multi-family residential properties. These properties benefit from the improvements in proportion to the number of dwelling units that occupy each property and the average number of people who reside in multi-family residential units versus the average number of people who reside in a single family home. The demographic factors for the City of Vacaville, as depicted below, provide the basis for determining the EDU factors for residential properties. Using the total population in the City of Vacaville from the 1990 Census and dividing it by the total number of households, approximately 2.91 persons occupy each single family residence, whereas an average of 2.16 persons occupy each multi-family residence. Using the ratio of one EDU for each single-family residence, which equates to one EDU for every 2.91 persons, 0.7 EDU would equates to one multi-family unit or 0.7 EDU for every 2.16 persons.

Table 5 - Residential Assessment Factors
Total Persons EDU
Population Households per Household Factor
Single-Family Residential 49,371 16,954 2.91 1.0
Multi-Family Residential 11,761 5,442 2.16 0.7
Source: 1990 Census (the most recent data available when the initial Assessment Districts were established), City of Vacaville
Commercial/Industrial Properties
The EDU values for commercial and industrial land uses are based on the equivalence of special benefit on a land area basis between single family residential property and the average commercial/industrial property. In general, the variation in benefits received by a parcel, respectively, from the various improvements may be said to be proportional to the size of the parcel. Therefore, Commercial and Industrial parcels are assigned one Benefit Unit Factor (EDU) per acre of land which is the equivalent of one EDU. Parcels in District 38 (Downtown Setback Landscaping), District 81 (Orange Drive Median Landscaping), District 82 (Orange Drive Lighting), and District 151 (Aldridge Road Setback Landscaping) however, are assigned an EDU factor that is equal to the linear length in feet of the parcel frontage. Parcels in District 70 (Basic Setback Landscaping District), are assigned an EDU factor that is equal to the parcel frontage plus parcel acreage. Commercial and industrial parcels in District 145 (Southtown Commons Drainage and Detention Basin District) are assigned EDU values based on the equivalence of special benefit on a land area basis between single family residential property and the average commercial/industrial property in the District.

Item 11.c
City of Vacaville
Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Vacant Residential Land
It is the Engineer’s determination that approximately 30% of the benefit from the Districts flows to the underlying land and approximately 70% of the benefit passes on the improvements made to each parcel. Therefore, vacant land is assigned 0.30 EDU per parcel.

Other Properties
All properties that are benefited are assessed. Agricultural properties without living units, utilities, certain parcels owned by public agencies, church properties, common area parcels, cemeteries and schools are generally available to provide recreational, scenic or other benefits to the community. As such, they tend to provide similar benefits as the City’s properties that would be improved by the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts. Any benefits they could receive are generally offset by the same benefits they provide. Moreover, parcels owned by a public agency or charitable organization have no assessed value and therefore do not receive the special benefit of specifically increased property values from the Landscaping and Lighting Districts. These parcels are, therefore, not specially benefited and are not assessed.

Assessment Apportionment by District
Pursuant to the Act, the costs of the Districts must be spread to each property based upon a benefit formula. The basis of benefit within this District varies from District to District. For Districts 1 through 22, and Districts 24, 30, 86, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 39, 44, 45, 49, 50, 53, 54, 57, 67, 68, 69, 76, 77, 78, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92, 97, 99, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169 and 170 the levy amount is determined by the total Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU) of individual parcels within each District. For other Districts the levy amount is determined by the size of the parcel.

The following formulas are used to arrive at a parcel levy amount for properties in each District.

City Council
Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 9, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Attention: Savita Chaudhary, City Manager
From: Ken Matsumiya, Director of Finance
(Staff Contact: Ken Matsumiya, Director of Finance (707) 449-5180) Subject: Informational update on the Development of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget: Budget Study Session #2
Actions for Consideration:

No formal action is required.

Recommendations:

Receive report, open discussion,and provide direction to staff.

Background:

At the May 26, 2026 City Council meeting, staff presented Budget Study Session #1 together with the FY 2025-26 third‑quarter update on the General Fund. That presentation provided an overview of year‑to‑date revenue trends, expenditure performance, and updated year‑end projections based on data through March 2026. The Q3 update showed that General Fund revenues are expected to finish the current fiscal year approximately 4 percent above the adopted budget, driven largely by stronger‑than‑anticipated property tax receipts and modest improvements in several revenue categories However, despite these positive year‑end projections, the City remains in a structurally imbalanced position, with recurring expenditures continuing to outpace recurring revenues. The General Fund is projected to finish the current fiscal year with an approximate $6 million gap between expenditures and revenues despite revenues performing better than originally budgeted.

Budget Study Session #1 also initiated discussion of the FY 2026‑27 Operating Budget. Staff outlined the continuing structural deficit facing the City, noting that the upcoming budget is again expected to rely on the General Fund Reserve to balance the budget. While the Reserve remains above policy thresholds, continued reliance on one‑time funds is not sustainable over the long term and reinforces the need to closely monitor revenue performance and evaluate opportunities to restore ongoing structural balance. The five‑year forecast presented during Study Session #1 highlighted these fiscal pressures and the importance of maintaining disciplined cost‑containment efforts as the City will face difficult decisions, including service Item 12.a
level reductions, to maintain fiscal sustainability if substantial improvements aren’t seen in revenue growth.

As part of Study Session #1, staff also reviewed the cost‑saving measures implemented in FY 2025‑26 and recommended for continuation into FY 2026‑27. These measures include the 2.5 percent department budget reductions, pauses or reductions in all Measure M pilot programs with the exception of the Youth Scholarship Program, reduced General Fund contributions toward Public Safety equipment and Capital Improvement Program needs, and cost‑reduction efforts within the Lighting and Landscaping Districts. Collectively, these actions represent an estimated $8.96 million in total savings, including approximately $7.86 million in General Fund savings. A summary of these measures is provided in the table below.

The combination of updated financial data, structural fiscal challenges, and ongoing cost‑saving actions discussed in Study Session #1 provides the framework for tonight’s presentation and the draft budget document. Budget Study Session #2 will focus on the Operating Budget, departmental budgets including fleet updates, and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 2026‑27 and the five‑year planning period. The information presented this evening will support final refinements to the draft FY 2026‑27 Budget prior to its consideration for adoption on June 23, 2026.

Funding vs. Growth Challenges
• Since 2018: $2.3M per year allocated for fleet replacement (flat) • Inflation: Average of +3.67%/year for light/med duty since 2019 • If allocations increased with inflation, FY 26/27 would be approx. $3.1M • Emergency & Heavy-Duty Equipment Inflation is much higher • Police Patrol: $60k (2019) $94k (2025) 56.6% Increase • Fire Engine: $700k (2019) $1.2M (2025) 71.4% Increase • Dump Truck: $176k (2018) $309k (2025) 75.6% Increase
• Overall Fleet Size Growth: 593 Units (2019) 683 Units (2026) June 9, 2026 Agenda Item 12.a Fleet and CIP - Slide of 16 3 Item 12.a
Asset Management Strategies
• Extending equipment life
• Efficiency: reducing vehicles where possible
• Applying for alternative funding (grants)
• “Smoothed replacement” model
• Fleet Lifecycle Reports to prioritize replacements
• Age, mileage, cumulative maintenance costs, collaboration • Green, Yellow, Red model
• Results: Most of the current fleet is in the “green” and not overdue for replacement
June 9, 2026 Agenda Item 12.a Fleet and CIP - Slide of 16 4 Item 12.a
Capital Forecast Assumptions
• Current purchase price is based on recent purchase costs • 4.5% per year inflationary rate
• Replacing “like for like” equipment units
• Extending equipment life where advantageous, rather than replacing on a fixed year
• Projection assumes no growth in fleet # of units
• Unforeseen market and regulatory impacts not considered • The above assumptions could vary and alter the projection.

• Staff is managing replacements using a collaborative, data driven process. New software installed to make maintenance more efficient and data more readily available.
• Lifecycle analysis and preventative maintenance and repair has extended useful life
• To continue to maintain and replace the fleet at current service levels, additional funding is necessary to keep up with inflation and growth

CITY OF VACAVILLE
City Council
Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 9, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Attention: Savita Chaudhary, City Manager
From: GeorgeAnne Meggers-Smith, Assistant City Manager
(Staff Contact, GeorgeAnne Meggers-Smith (707) 449-5651) Subject: Informational update on voter survey results and resolution directing the City Manager to return with an Ordinance
Imposing a 1% Transaction and Use Tax for consideration at the June 23, 2026 City Council meeting.

Actions for Consideration:

Receive the presentation on voter survey results and provide direction to staff to return with an Ordinance Imposing a Transaction and Use Tax (First Reading) for consideration at the June 23, 2026, City Council meeting.

Recommendations:

Receive report, open discussion,and provide direction to staff.

By simple motion, adopt the subject resolution.

Background:

Vacaville is a full-service city, equipped with its own City-run police, fire, parks and recreation, community development, economic development, public works, and water and sewer utility services. The health and safety of all residents in the City is a top priority. The City of Vacaville faces a $12 million structural budget deficit that it is trying to solve; and the general fund pays for important City services such as police, fire, and paramedic services; 911 emergency response; street repairs and maintenance; neighborhood park and recreation services; and all other general municipal services.

To address the projected gap between the City’s operating revenues and expenses in fiscal year 2025-2026, staff identified and Council approved $9.2 million in citywide cost saving measures.

These cost savings measures included delaying the hiring of 16 full-time positions and freezing 3 more, citywide reductions of 2.5% in discretionary expenditures, and the use of one-time monies to balance the general fund. The City Council has also taken action to stop absorbing credit card processing fees, which will result in approximately $400K in cost savings annually, and adopted the State’s cell site fee structure, resulting in approximately $200K in additional annual revenue once fully implemented.

Item 12.b
Without additional ongoing revenue, the City may need to evaluate further service reductions, including deferred maintenance, staffing impacts, and delaying capital and operational investments. A local sales tax measure is one of the few revenue options that cities have.

Vacaville currently has the lowest sales tax rate in Solano County at 8.125%. A local sales tax measure in Vacaville would keep the sales tax rate in line with other Solano County cities while generating additional revenue for essential services while maintaining local control, meaning it can’t be taken by the State. A 1% local sales tax measure in Vacaville is expected to generate approximately $28 million in additional revenue annually.

At the September 9, 2025, City Council meeting, Council received a presentation and authorized a Request for Proposals (RFP) for voter opinion and public education services for potential increases to the sales tax, transient occupancy tax (TOT), and business license tax (BLT) modernization. After reviewing the survey data, staff analysis, and recommendations, City Council decided not to move forward with TOT or BLT at this time.

At the November 3, 2025, Special Meeting of the City Council, Council directed the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement for the previously mentioned services with Probolsky Research and William Berry Campaigns.

At the February 10, 2026, City Council meeting, Probolsky Research presented the results of a statistically valid survey of 400 likely Vacaville voters. The goal of the survey was to gather feedback on residents’ views of City services and local government, as well as their support for or opposition to a proposed one-cent increase to the sales tax. Based on the results of the survey, Council directed staff to begin a community education and outreach effort to provide clear, factual information regarding the City’s fiscal situation, service levels, and revenue needs, consistent with applicable California law governing public agency communications.

Discussion:

The community education and outreach effort began after the February 10, 2026, City Council meeting. It included developing a website, ChoosingAPath.net, to share factual and non-biased information with Vacaville residents on the City’s fiscal situation and a possible local sales tax measure. Website content includes:
• Budget information, including General Fund and revenue overview, and budget forecast
• Information on a possible local sales tax measure, including current sales tax rates and accountability provisions
• Link to the City’s Financial Transparency Portal
• Information on Measure M
• City Council staff reports and presentations on cost saving measures and actions related to a possible sales tax measure
• Correspondence to the community from the City Manager, Police Chief, and Fire Chief • Town Hall and community presentation slide decks and recordings • Frequently Asked Questions
• Link to Community Questionnaire
Item 12.b
Outreach efforts also included a hybrid Town Hall meeting, 12 community meetings throughout the City (2 in each district), presentations to community groups, and information shared through social media, email, and the City’s newsletter.

In May 2026, Probolsky Research conducted a second statistically valid survey of 400 likely Vacaville voters to understand if the education and outreach effort was effective at communicating the City’s financial situation, evaluate the community’s level of satisfaction with current City services, and gauge public sentiment regarding a possible sales tax measure.

A key finding of the survey is that voters have a high level of satisfaction with the services currently being provided by the City, including the following:
• 99.8% rated the overall quality of life in Vacaville as good or fair • 81% are satisfied with the services provided by the Fire Department • 76% are satisfied with the services provided by the Police Department • 88% are satisfied with the services provided by the Parks and Recreation Department • 79% are satisfied with the services provided by the Public Works Department The survey also asked voters to identify the most important issues facing Vacaville today. Top responses included:
• Overpopulation/controlling growth/development
• Inflation/high cost of living
• Housing affordability/availability
• Transportation/traffic/roads/infrastructure
• Public safety/drugs/crime
The survey showed that voters are more likely to support a sales tax measure knowing that revenues generated locally would remain in Vacaville and could not be taken by the State or County. Voters also expressed greater support for accountability and transparency measures such as independent financial audits, annual public reporting, and a citizens’ oversight committee to review expenditures and provide community transparency regarding the use of revenues.

Probolsky Research will present the survey results, which are intended to provide informational feedback to assist the City Council in evaluating potential future revenue options and do not obligate the Council to place a measure on the ballot.

Environmental Impact:

This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project that has the potential to result in either a physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15378(b)(5).

Fiscal Impact:

Amount Requested: There are no funds requested for this item.

Funding Source: General Fund (1001)
Item 12.b
Budget Distribution: The costs of staff time associated with this item are covered within the existing CIty Manager's Department operating budget.

Alternatives:
• The Council could choose not to direct the City Manager to return with an Ordinance Imposing a 1% Transaction and Use Tax (First Reading) for consideration at the June 23, 2026, City Council meeting.

This alternative is not recommended because the City is currently facing a $12 million annual structural General Fund budget deficit. A 1% Transaction and Use Tax is estimated to generate approximately $28 million annually in General Fund revenue, which would provide a significant ongoing funding source to address the City's fiscal challenges and support municipal services.
• The Council could choose to direct the City Manager to return with an Ordinance Imposing a Transaction and Use Tax at a rate less than 1% (First Reading) for consideration at the June 23, 2026, City Council meeting.

This alternative is not recommended because a tax rate below 1% would generate proportionally less revenue and may not fully address the City's current and projected fiscal needs. The City's structural General Fund budget deficit is approximately $12 million annually, and each 0.25% Transaction and Use Tax is estimated to generate approximately $7 million per year. A 1% Transaction and Use Tax is estimated to generate approximately $28 million annually, which would not only address the current structural deficit but also provide additional revenue to help meet ongoing service, infrastructure, and long-term financial obligations.

CITY OF VACAVILLE
City Council
Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 9, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Attention: Savita Chaudhary, City Manager
From: Michelle Thornbrugh, City Clerk
(707) 449-5110
Subject: Report on Upcoming Brown Act Teleconferencing and Public Access Requirements and Resolution adopting a Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Meetings Policy in Accordance with Senate Bill 707
Actions for Consideration:

The Council receive an informational report on Senate Bill 707 entitled the Brown Act Modernization Act (SB 707), which makes significant updates to the Ralph M. Brown Act, and adopts a policy for management of disruption of telephonic or internet service during meetings.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that the Council receive the report on upcoming Brown Act teleconferencing and public access requirements, and by simple motion, adopt a Resolution Adopting a Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Meetings Policy in Accordance with SB 707.

Background:

The Ralph M. Brown Act was adopted in 1953 by the State Legislature to provide a framework of transparency for local government legislative body meetings. This framework ensures the public has access and the opportunity to participate in local government decision-making processes. In 2025, the Legislature adopted SB 707, which reorganizes, clarifies, and updates various Brown Act provisions, including those governing teleconferencing, remote public participation, meeting procedures, and enhanced accessibility for members of the public.

Item 12.c
Discussion:

Among other things, starting July 1, 2026, SB 707 requires Brown Act meetings for “eligible legislative bodies” (in Vacaville’s case, the City Council only) to follow specific requirements for providing remote access to public participants via two-way audiovisual platforms or two-way telephonic services; captioning when using audiovisual platforms; and expanded accessibility and translation for notices and websites. Each of these requirements is discussed in detail below.

A. Teleconferencing and Remote Participation Requirements

1. Mandatory Hybrid Meetings: Eligible legislative bodies, such as the Vacaville City Council, must provide hybrid meetings for attendance and public comment, which means an in-person meeting plus a teleconference option for its meetings.

The teleconference option must be either a two-way telephonic or audiovisual platform (e.g., Zoom). If using audiovisual platforms, a call-in option and active captioning (if available on that platform) are required. The City has installed and upgraded equipment in the Council Chambers to accommodate a Zoom Webinar platform to meet these requirements. The July 28 Council meeting will include remote access participation via Zoom Webinar.

2. Policy Regarding Broadcast Disruption: Prior to July 1, 2026, the City Council must adopt, in open session and not on the Consent Calendar, a policy regarding governing disruption of telephonic and internet service for remote participants that includes:
• procedures for recessing and reconvening a meeting in the event of disruption;
• procedures for documenting the efforts that the Council and staff shall make to attempt to restore the service for persons participating remotely in the meeting;
• procedures for recessing the open session and making a good faith attempt to restore the service if a disruption of telephonic or internet services occurs that prevents the public from attending or observing the meeting.

The policy must also prohibit the legislative body from reconvening the open session of the meeting until at least one hour following the disruption, or until telephonic or internet service is restored, whichever is earlier.

Additionally, if telephonic or internet service cannot be restored, the eligible legislative body may reconvene the open session provided it adopts a finding Item 12.c
by roll call vote that good faith efforts to restore the telephonic or internet service have been made in accordance with its policy and the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.

These requirements do not apply to certain specified types of meetings, including meetings held offsite or for inspection purposes, or in emergency situations. The attached policy lists those exemptions and incorporates all of the required provisions noted here.

Further, the attached policy provides that in the event of an actual disruption by a member of the public, after a first verbal warning from the Mayor or the City Clerk, a disruptive remote public participant may have their microphone muted, have their video switched off, or be removed entirely from the meeting either as a last resort or because stopping the video or muting the participant is not available on the service being used. The policy also defines an actual disruption by a member of the public in accordance with relevant laws, so that the Presiding Officer and staff can distinguish between protected First Amendment speech and a disruption.

B. Enhancing Public Engagement

1. Translation of meeting agendas and City website: The City must translate meeting agendas (this does not include the entire agenda packet) and the public meetings information webpage into languages where 20% of the City’s population speaks an applicable foreign language and at the same time that population speaks English less than “very well.” The source of the data must come from the most recent U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

Similar to meeting agendas, the City’s website must also be translated if 20% of the City’s population speaks an applicable foreign language and at the same time that population speaks English less than “very well.” Each translation must be accessible through a prominent direct link posted on the City’s website home page.

Staff has reviewed the requirements and based on the criteria established by SB 707, Vacaville does not meet the 20% threshold required for translation.

Item 12.c
The community can “Send us a Message” through the City’s “Contact Us” (CityofVacaville.gov/ContactUs) webpage to request translated agendas.

Further, the website can be translated into several languages available in the bottom right corner on every City webpage.

2. Assistance in translation services: The City is required to reasonably assist members of the public who wish to translate a public meeting into any language or wish to receive interpretation provided by another member of the public, so long as it doesn’t disrupt the meeting. Reasonable assistance may include arranging space for interpreters at the meeting location, allowing extra time during the meeting for interpretation, or ensuring that participants may use personal equipment or reasonably access commercially available interpretation services. SB 707 does not require the City to provide translation services, but the City may elect to do so at its discretion.

3. Translation near posting sites: The City is required to provide a physical location for members of the public to post their own additional translations of the agenda in reasonable proximity to the physical location in which Council meeting agendas are posted.

An outdoor readily accessible display cabinet for public posting of translated agendas has been added to the exterior of the Council Chambers opposite the Council agenda display cabinet. The following disclaimer will be included on the display cabinet: “In compliance with California government code section 54953.4(c)3, the City provides this bulletin board for members of the public to post meeting agendas in languages other than English. The City does not review, verify, or certify these postings and is not responsible for their content or accuracy. This bulletin board may be used only for translated agendas. Any materials that are not agenda translations will be removed. For official agendas, meeting notices, and participation information, please refer to the City's website or the City Clerk's Office.”

4. Outreach requirements: The City must make reasonable efforts to invite groups that do not traditionally participate in public meetings to attend those meetings. Examples of such groups include the following:
• City staff will add media outlets providing news coverage within the City or region to the City Council Agenda email notice, including ethnic Item 12.c
and language-specific outlets serving non-English-speaking communities.
• City staff will add civil-rights, civic-engagement, neighborhood, and community-based organizations to the City Council Agenda email notice.
• City staff post social media reminders about upcoming meetings to City social media in advance of meetings.

C. Remote Participation
SB 707 revises and expands the teleconferencing options available under the Brown Act. Notably, SB 707 permits remote teleconferencing as a reasonable accommodation for a disabled member of a legislative body. To participate, the legislative member is required to participate using both audio and visual technology, unless their disability prevents them from doing so. The member would be required to disclose whether anyone 18 years or older is present in the room along with the member’s relationship to those individuals. The member’s remote participation would count as in-person attendance for all purposes, including a quorum.

The bill also consolidates standard alternative teleconference provisions into “just cause” circumstances. In order to be permitted to teleconference under just cause, a quorum of the legislative body or committee would be required to participate in person from the meeting location identified on the agenda. The meeting minutes would reflect the specific provision of law the member relied upon to participate remotely. When participating remotely for just cause, the member would be required to always participate through both audio and visual technology during the meeting. Members are limited to a certain number of “just cause” teleconference meetings based on the number of times the legislative body meets per month, which, as applied to City Council, would be up to five Council meetings per year.

SB 707 does not update traditional teleconferencing rules, which remains an option with no limit on number of meetings.

D. Social Media
SB 707 removed the automatic repeal from AB 992 (2021), which provides that legislative body members can use social media to communicate with the public, but a majority cannot discuss matters within their jurisdiction via social media.

Individual members cannot respond to another member’s posts, shares, etc. on matters within their jurisdiction (including likes, comments, emojis, etc.). As such, Item 12.c
Government Code Section 54952.2 was not repealed on January 1, 2026, and the Brown Act social media rules are now permanent.

Environmental Impact:

This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project that has the potential to result in either a physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15378(b)(5).

Fiscal Impact:

Amount Requested: There are no funds requested for this item.

Funding Source: Existing PEG Funding was utilized to install and upgrade the Council Chamber with Zoom capabilities.

Budget Distribution: The costs of staff time associated with this item are covered within the existing City Manager operating budget.

Alternatives:

The Council could choose not to receive the report or not adopt a policy for disruption at a Council meeting. This is not recommended since adoption of a policy is required by July 1, 2026.

Item 12.c
Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Meetings Policy

1. Background
Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act to require eligible legislative bodies to adopt, on or before July 1, 2026, a policy addressing how the agency will respond to disruptions in telephonic or internet service that prevent members of the public from participating remotely.

2. Purpose
This policy establishes procedures for responding to a disruption in the telephonic or internet services that provide two-way remote public access to meetings of the City Council as required by the Brown Act (Government Code section 54953.4). The policy ensures transparency, public participation, and the continuation of meetings during technological disruptions.

3. Definitions
“Service Disruption” means any failure, outage, or other interruption to the agency’s remote access services that prevents members of the public from participating in a City Council meeting through the remote access service.
“Disrupting” means engaging in behavior during a meeting of the City Council that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is not limited to one of the following:
a. A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by the City Council of the City of Vacaville.
b. Engaging in behavior that constitutes use of force or a true threat of force. “Remote access services” means the two-way telephonic service and/or two-way audiovisual platform used to provide real-time remote public attendance and observation of meetings. “Two-way audiovisual platform” means an online platform that provides participants with the ability to participate in a meeting via both an interactive video conference and a two-way telephonic service.
“Two-way telephonic service” means a telephone service that does not require internet access and allows participants to dial a telephone number to listen and verbally participate. “True threat of force” means a threat that has sufficient indicia of intent and seriousness, that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to use force by the person making the threat.

EXHIBIT 1 Item 12.c

4. Applicability
This policy applies to all open and public meetings of the City Council at which remote public participation is required under the Brown Act. Consistent with the Brown Act, this policy shall not apply to the following meetings:
a. Meetings held to attend a judicial or administrative proceeding to which the City is a party.
b. Meetings held to inspect real or personal property provided that the topic of the meeting is limited to items directly related to the real or personal property. c. Meetings held to meet with elected or appointed officials of the United States or the State of California, solely to discuss a legislative or regulatory issue affecting the [Agency] and over which the federal or state officials have jurisdiction. d. Meetings held to meet in or nearby a facility owned by the City, provided that the topic of the meeting is limited to items directly related to the facility. e. Meetings held in an emergency situation pursuant to Government Code section 54956.5.

5. Remote Public Access Generally
When remote public access is required under the Brown Act, the City Council shall provide members of the public with an opportunity to attend and participate in the meeting using a twoway audiovisual platform or a two-way telephonic service, provided that adequate telephonic or internet service is operational at the meeting location.

If adequate telephonic or internet service is not operational at the meeting location, the City Council shall not be required to provide remote access. If adequate telephonic or internet service is operational for only a portion of the meeting, the City Council shall provide remote access during that portion of the meeting.

If a two-way audiovisual platform is used, the City Council shall:
a. Publicly post and provide a call-in option as well; and b. Activate any automatic captioning function that is available in the audiovisual platform.

If a two-way audiovisual platform is not provided, the City Council shall provide a two-way telephonic service.

Members of the public participating remotely shall be provided the same opportunity to provide public comment as members of the public attending in person, including the same time allotment.

Item 12.c

6. Response to Service Disruption
If the Mayor or Clerk becomes aware of a service disruption:
a. The Mayor or Clerk shall immediately announce the service disruption to the public. b.

The recess shall last for one hour or until service is restored, whichever is earlier. c. During the recess, City staff shall make a good faith effort to diagnose and restore the disrupted service.

7. Reconvening the Open Session

Upon adoption of the finding, the Council may continue the open session portion of the meeting despite the fact that remote access services have not been restored.

8. Recordkeeping
The City Clerk shall enter a brief statement into the meeting minutes, including:
a. The nature and time of the service disruption;
b. The time the meeting was reconvened (if applicable); c. Any finding adopted pursuant to Section 7.

9. Response to Members of the Public Disrupting a Meeting If the Mayor or Clerk becomes aware of a member of the public who is attending the meeting through remote access services and is disrupting the meeting or otherwise preventing other members of the public from attending or observing the meeting remotely or in-person:

Item 12.c
a. The Mayor or Clerk shall warn the person who is participating through remote access services that they are disrupting the meeting and their failure to cease that behavior may result in their removal.

If the person to whom was given the above warning persists in disrupting the meeting, the Mayor shall order staff to mute or otherwise limit the individual’s ability to disrupt the meeting, while allowing the individual to continue to observe and attend the meeting; or remove the individual from the meeting if the warning provided pursuant to paragraph (a), above does not address the disrupting behavior or is not available using the remote access service.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 707, as amended, Durazo. Open meetings: meeting and teleconference requirements. (1) Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body, as defined, of a local agency be open and public and that all persons be permitted to attend and participate.

This bill would, until January 1, 2030, require an eligible legislative body, as defined, to comply with additional meeting requirements, including that, except as specified, all open and public meetings include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a 2-way telephonic service or a 2-way audiovisual platform, as defined, and that the eligible legislative body take specified actions to encourage residents to participate in public meetings, as specified. (2)Existing law defines “legislative body” for purposes of the act to mean, among other things, a commission, committee, board, or other body of a local agency, whether permanent or temporary, decisionmaking or advisory, created by charter, ordinance, resolution, or formal action of a legislative body. Existing law specifies that “legislative body” does not include advisory committees, composed solely of the members of the legislative body that are less than a quorum of the legislative body, except for specified standing committees of a legislative body.

This bill would revise and recast the above-described definition of a legislative body and would specify that advisory committees with a Item 12.c
continuing subject matter jurisdiction or a fixed meeting schedule, as specified, are legislative bodies.

Existing
(2) Existing law prohibits a majority of the members of a legislative body, outside a meeting authorized by the act, from using a series of communications of any kind to discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item of business that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. Existing law defines “meetings” for these purposes to mean any congregation of a majority of the members of a legislative body at the same time and location, as specified, to hear, discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. Until January 1, 2026, existing law excepts from the prohibition a member engaging in separate conversations or communications outside of a meeting with any other person using an internet-based social media platform for specified purposes, provided, among other things, that a majority of the members do not use the internetbased social media platform to discuss among themselves business of a specific nature that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body.

This bill would make the above-described exception related to communications on an internet-based social media platform applicable indefinitely.
(3) Existing law requires a legislative body, prior to taking final action, to orally report a summary of a recommendation for a final action on specified forms of compensation for a local agency executive, as defined, during the open meeting in which the final action is to be taken.

This bill would also require the legislative body to make that oral report, as provided above, prior to taking final action on those specified forms of compensation for an unrepresented employee a department head or other similar administrative officer of the local agency.
(4) Existing law requires a legislative body of a local agency or its designee, at least 72 hours before a regular meeting, to post an agenda that meets specified requirements, including that the agenda contain a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting, as specified.

This bill would require the agenda for each meeting of an eligible legislative body, as defined, to be translated into all applicable languages. The bill would define “applicable languages” to mean languages spoken jointly by 20% or more of the population in the city or county in which the eligible legislative body is located that, among other things, speaks English less than “very well,” as specified, and except as provided.

Existing law requires every agenda for regular meetings to provide an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest of the public, as specified. Existing law specifies that the agenda is not required to provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body on any item that has already been considered by a committee, as specified.

This bill would remove the provision related to an item that has already been considered by a committee. (5) Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to require a copy of the act to be given to each member of the legislative body and specified persons elected to serve as a member of the legislative body, and authorizes an elected legislative body member to require a copy to be given to each member of each legislative body all or a majority of whose members are appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body.

This bill would instead require a local agency to provide a copy of the act to any person elected or appointed to serve as a member of a legislative body of the local agency.

Existing law authorizes legislative bodies of local agencies to impose requirements upon themselves which allow greater access to their meetings than prescribed by the minimal standards set forth in the act, and authorizes an elected legislative body of a local agency to also impose those requirements on those appointed legislative bodies of the local agency of which all or a majority of the members are appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body.

This bill would remove the above-described requirement that members of an appointed legislative body of a local agency must be appointed by or under the authority of the elected legislative body of a local agency in order for the elected legislative body to impose the above-described requirements on the appointed legislative body. (6) Existing law authorizes a district attorney or any interested person to file an action to determine the applicability of the act to past actions of the legislative body pursuant to specified provisions relating to violations of the act if specified conditions are met, including that the district attorney or interested person first submits a cease and desist letter to the clerk or secretary of the legislative body being accused of the violation, as specified, within 9 months of the alleged violation.

This bill would instead require that a cease and desist letter described above be submitted within 12 months of the alleged violation. (7) Existing law provides any person attending an open and public meeting of a legislative body of a local agency with the right to record the proceedings with an audio or visual recorder or a still or motion picture camera, as specified.

This bill would remove the reference to an audio or visual recorder or a still or motion picture camera for purposes of recording the proceedings, as described above.
(8) Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing, as specified, and requires a legislative body of a local agency that elects to use teleconferencing to comply with specified general requirements, including that the local agency post agendas at all teleconference locations, identify each teleconference location in the notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, Item 12.c
and have each teleconference location be accessible to the public. Existing law also requires that, during the teleconference, at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, except as specified.

Existing law authorizes members who are outside the jurisdiction of a health authority, as defined, that conducts a teleconferencing meeting to, notwithstanding the above-described general teleconference provisions, count towards the establishment of a quorum when participating in the teleconference if, among other things, at least 50% of the number of members that would establish a quorum are present within the boundaries of the territory over which the authority exercises jurisdiction.

Existing law authorizes, in certain circumstances, the legislative body of a local agency to use specified alternative teleconferencing which include provisions related to, among others, notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment and identifying and including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option. Those circumstances in which the legislative body of a local agency is authorized to use the alternative teleconferencing provisions include specified circumstances relating to a state of emergency, as defined, and, until January 1, 2026, subject to specified limitations, a member’s need to participate remotely due to just cause, defined to include, among other things, a need related to a physical or mental disability, or emergency circumstances, as defined. those terms are defined, if certain quorum and disclosure requirements are met.

Existing law also authorizes certain eligible legislative bodies, including neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations to, until January 1, 2026, use alternate teleconferencing if, among other requirements, the city council or board of trustees, as applicable, has adopted an authorizing resolution and 2 /3 of the neighborhood city council or
specified student organization, as applicable, votes to use alternate teleconference provisions, as specified.

This bill would revise and recast the above-specified teleconferencing and alternative teleconferencing provisions to uniformly apply certain noticing, disclosure, accessibility, and public commenting provisions. The bill would require a legislative body of a local agency that elects to use teleconferencing pursuant to these alternative teleconferencing provisions to comply with with, in addition to any other applicable requirements under the act, specified requirements, including that the legislative body provides at least either 2-way audiovisual platform or 2-way telephonic service and a live webcasting of the meeting as a means by which the public may, among other things, remotely hear and visually observe the meeting, and that a member of the legislative body who participates in a teleconference meeting from a remote location pursuant to these alternative teleconferencing provisions and the specific provision of law that the member relied upon to permit their participation by teleconferencing are listed in the minutes of the meeting. The bill would require the local agency to identify and make available to legislative bodies a list of one or more meeting locations that may be available for use by the legislative bodies to conduct their meetings.

The bill would require a legislative body to allow a member with a disability, as defined, that precludes a member’s in-person attendance at meetings of the body, as specified, to participate in any meeting of the legislative body by remote participation, as defined, except as specified. The bill would apply certain provisions relative to, among other things, quorum establishment to that circumstance.

The bill would instead authorize a health authority, as defined, to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions.

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable in a state of emergency, as defined. The bill would also include a local emergency, as defined, as a circumstance in which a legislative body of a local agency is authorized to use the alternative teleconferencing provisions.

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable in cases of a member’s need to participate remotely due to just cause or emergency circumstances, as defined, to remove the provision applicable to emergency circumstances, to broaden revise related definitions, including broadening the definition of just cause to include a physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending in person, and to require the agenda minutes for a meeting to identify the specific type of just cause provision of law that each member relied upon to participate remotely, as specified. The bill would extend the authorization to use the alternative teleconferencing provision until January 1, 2030. The bill would make the authorization for a member to participate remotely in the case of a physical or mental disability effective indefinitely, as specified.

The bill would revise and recast the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable to neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations and would In regards to the alternative teleconferencing provisions applicable to student body associations and student-run community college organizations, the bill would exempt the California Online Community College from specified requirements for an in-person quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations under the authorization, and remove the ability for a person with a disability that requires certain accommodations to count towards the in-person quorum requirement. The bill would specify that the California community college student body associations and student-run community college organizations described above are those in any community college recognized within the California Community Colleges system, and would extend the authorization to the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. The bill would extend the authorization to use the alternative teleconferencing provision provisions applicable to neighborhood councils and student body associations and student-run community college organizations until January 1, 2030.

The bill would, until January 1, 2030, also authorize a specified subsidiary body of local agencies to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions, provided that it complies with the requirements for alternative teleconferencing described above and additional requirements, including that the subsidiary body designates at least one physical meeting location within the boundaries of the legislative body that created the subsidiary body where members of the public may physically attend, observe, hear, and participate in the meeting, as specified.

Item 12.c
The bill would, until January 1, 2030, also authorize specified multijurisdictional bodies of local agencies to conduct a teleconference meeting pursuant to the above-described alternative teleconferencing provisions, provided that it complies with the requirements for alternative teleconferencing described above and additional requirements, including that the eligible multijurisdictional body has adopted a resolution that authorizes the multijurisdictional body to use teleconferencing at a regular meeting in open session.

Existing law defines “teleconference” for purposes of the authorization for a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing to mean a meeting of a legislative body, the members of which are in different locations, connected by electronic means, through either audio or video, or both.

This bill would specify that “teleconference” does not include the attendance of one or more members of a legislative body in a meeting of the body solely by watching or listening via webcasting or any other similar electronic medium that does not permit members to interactively speak, discuss, or deliberate on matters. (9) Existing law authorizes a special meeting to be called any time by, among other persons, the presiding officer of the legislative body of a local agency, by delivering specified written notices and posting a notice on the local agency’s internet website, if the local agency has one. Existing law requires specified legislative bodies to comply with the internet website posting requirement.

The bill would remove the requirement that only specified legislative bodies comply with the internet website posting requirement, thereby imposing that requirement on all legislative bodies. (10) Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to hold an emergency meeting without complying with specified notice and posting requirements in the case of specified emergency circumstances, as specified, and imposes various requirements under these provisions applicable to either legislative bodies generally or legislative bodies which are a school board.

This bill would remove the school board distinction from the above-described provisions, thereby imposing the same requirements to hold an emergency meeting on all legislative bodies of local agencies.

By imposing additional duties on legislative bodies of local agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (11) Existing law authorizes, in addition to other related specified authorizations, the presiding member of the legislative body conducting a meeting or their designee to remove, or cause the removal of, an individual for disrupting the meeting. Existing law defines “disrupting” for these purposes to mean engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, as specified.

This bill would specify that a meeting for purposes of that provision includes any teleconferenced meeting. The bill would specify that the existing authority of a legislative body or its presiding officer to remove or limit participation by individuals or groups of persons who engage in behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, as specified, applies to members of the public participating in a meeting via a 2-way telephonic service or a 2-way audiovisual platform, as those terms are defined.
(12) The bill would make other updates to references in the act. (13) Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (14) The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (15) The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. (16) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

(3) Paragraph (2) shall not apply if the legislative body of a local agency utilizes simultaneous translation equipment in a manner that allows the legislative body of a local agency to hear the translated public testimony simultaneously. (c) The legislative body of a local agency shall not prohibit public criticism of the policies, procedures, programs, or services of the agency, or of the acts or omissions of the legislative body. Nothing in this subdivision shall confer any privilege or protection for expression beyond that otherwise provided by law.

54956. (a) (1) A special meeting may be called at any time by the presiding officer of the legislative body of a local agency, or by a majority of the members of the legislative body, by delivering written notice to each member of the legislative body and to each local newspaper of general circulation and radio or television station requesting notice in writing and posting a notice on the local agency’s internet website, if the local agency has one.

(2) A dire emergency, which shall be defined as a crippling disaster, mass destruction, terrorist act, or threatened terrorist activity that poses peril so immediate and significant that requiring a legislative body to provide one-hour notice before holding an emergency meeting under this section may endanger the public health, safety, or both, as determined by a majority of the members of the legislative body.
(b) (1) Subject to paragraph (2), in the case of an emergency situation involving matters upon which prompt action is necessary due to the disruption or threatened disruption of public facilities, a legislative body may hold an emergency meeting without complying with either the 24-hour notice requirement or the 24-hour posting requirement of Section 54956 or both of the notice and posting requirements.
(2) Each local newspaper of general circulation and radio or television station that has requested notice of special meetings pursuant to Section 54956 shall be notified by the presiding officer of the legislative body, or designee thereof, one hour prior to the Item 12.c
emergency meeting, or, in the case of a dire emergency, at or near the time that the presiding officer or designee notifies the members of the legislative body of the emergency meeting. (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the notice required by this paragraph shall be given by telephone and all telephone numbers provided in the most recent request of a newspaper or station for notification of special meetings shall be exhausted. In the event that telephone services are not functioning, the notice requirements of this paragraph shall be deemed waived, and the legislative body, or designee of the legislative body, shall notify those newspapers, radio stations, or television stations of the fact of the holding of the emergency meeting, the purpose of the meeting, and any action taken at the meeting as soon after the meeting as possible.
(B) For an emergency meeting held pursuant to this section, the presiding officer of the legislative body, or designee thereof, may send the notifications required by this paragraph by email instead of by telephone, as provided in subparagraph (A), to all local newspapers of general circulation, and radio or television stations, that have requested those notifications by email, and all email addresses provided by representatives of those newspapers or stations shall be exhausted. In the event that internet services and telephone services are not functioning, the notice requirements of this paragraph shall be deemed waived, and the legislative body, or designee of the legislative body, shall notify those newspapers, radio stations, or television stations of the fact of the holding of the emergency meeting, the purpose of the meeting, and any action taken at the meeting as soon after the meeting as possible.
(c) During a meeting held pursuant to this section, the legislative body may meet in closed session pursuant to Section 54957 if agreed to by a two-thirds vote of the members of the legislative body present, or, if less than two-thirds of the members are present, by a unanimous vote of the members present.
(d) All special meeting requirements, as prescribed in Section 54956 shall be applicable to a meeting called pursuant to this section, with the exception of the 24-hour notice requirement.
(e) The minutes of a meeting called pursuant to this section, a list of persons who the presiding officer of the legislative body, or designee of the legislative body, notified or attempted to notify, a copy of the rollcall vote, and any actions taken at the meeting shall be posted for a minimum of 10 days in a public place as soon after the meeting as possible.

SEC. 22.SEC. 20. Section 54957.6 of the Government Code is amended to read:
54957.6. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a legislative body of a local agency may hold closed sessions with the local agency’s designated representatives regarding the salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits of its represented and unrepresented employees, and, for represented employees, any other matter within the statutorily provided scope of representation, subject to all of the following conditions:
(1) Prior to the closed session, the legislative body of the local agency shall hold an open and public session in which it identifies its designated representatives.
(2) The closed session shall be for the purpose of reviewing its position and instructing the local agency’s designated representatives.

(4) Any closed session with the local agency’s designated representative regarding the salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits may include discussion of an agency’s available funds and funding priorities, but only insofar as these discussions relate to providing instructions to the local agency’s designated representative. (5) The closed session shall not include final action on the proposed compensation of one or more unrepresented employees. (6) For the purposes enumerated in this section, a legislative body of a local agency may also meet with a state conciliator who has intervened in the proceedings.
(b) For the purposes of this section, the term “employee” shall include an officer or an independent contractor who functions as an officer or an employee, but shall not include any elected official, member of a legislative body, or other independent contractors.

SEC. 21. Section 54957.9 of the Government Code is amended to read:
54957.9. In the event that any meeting is willfully interrupted by a group or groups of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such the meeting unfeasible and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting, the members of the legislative body conducting the meeting may order the meeting room cleared and continue in session. Only matters appearing on the agenda may be considered in such a session. Representatives of the press or other news media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to attend any session held pursuant to this section. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the legislative body from establishing a procedure for readmitting an individual or individuals not responsible for willfully disturbing the orderly conduct of the meeting.

SEC. 23.SEC. 22. Section 54957.95 of the Government Code is amended to read:
54957.95. (a) (1) In addition to authority exercised pursuant to Sections 54954.3 and 54957.9, the presiding member of the legislative body conducting a meeting or their designee may remove, or cause the removal of, an individual for disrupting the meeting, including any teleconferenced meeting.

Item 12.c
(2) Prior to removing an individual, the presiding member or their designee shall warn the individual that their behavior is disrupting the meeting and that their failure to cease their behavior may result in their removal. The presiding member or their designee may then remove the individual if they do not promptly cease their disruptive behavior. This paragraph does not apply to any behavior described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b). (b) As used in this section:
(1) “Disrupting” means engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is not limited to, one of the following:
(A) A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by a legislative body pursuant to Section 54954.3 or any other law.
(B) Engaging in behavior that constitutes use of force or a true threat of force. (2) “True threat of force” means a threat that has sufficient indicia of intent and seriousness, that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to use force by the person making the threat.

SEC. 23. Section 54957.96 is added to the Government Code, to read:
54957.96. (a) The existing authority of a legislative body or its presiding officer to remove or limit participation by individuals or groups of persons who engage in behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, including existing limitations upon that authority, shall apply to members of the public participating in a meeting via a twoway telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform.

54960.2. (a) The district attorney or any interested person may file an action to determine the applicability of this chapter to past actions of the legislative body pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 54960 only if all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The district attorney or interested person alleging a violation of this chapter first submits a cease and desist letter by postal mail or facsimile transmission to the clerk or secretary of the legislative body being accused of the violation, as designated in the statement pertaining to that public agency on file pursuant to Section 53051, or if the agency does not have a statement on file designating a clerk or a secretary, to the chief executive officer of that agency, clearly describing the past action of the legislative body and nature of the alleged violation.
(2) The cease and desist letter required under paragraph (1) is submitted to the legislative body within 12 months of the alleged violation.
(3) The time during which the legislative body may respond to the cease and desist letter pursuant to subdivision (b) has expired and the legislative body has not provided an unconditional commitment pursuant to subdivision (c). (4) Within 60 days of receipt of the legislative body’s response to the cease and desist letter, other than an unconditional commitment pursuant to subdivision (c), or within 60 days of the expiration of the time during which the legislative body may respond to the cease and desist letter pursuant to subdivision (b), whichever is earlier, the party submitting the cease and desist letter shall commence the action pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 54960 or thereafter be barred from commencing the action. (b) The legislative body may respond to a cease and desist letter submitted pursuant to subdivision (a) within 30 days of receiving the letter. This subdivision shall not be construed to prevent the legislative body from providing an unconditional commitment pursuant to subdivision (c) at any time after the 30-day period has expired, except that in that event the court shall award court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees to the plaintiff in an action brought pursuant to this section, in accordance with Section 54960.5. (c) (1) If the legislative body elects to respond to the cease and desist letter with an unconditional commitment to cease, desist from, and not repeat the past action that is alleged to violate this chapter, that response shall be in substantially the following form:

To ______________________:

The [name of legislative body] has received your cease and desist letter dated [date] alleging that the following described past action of the legislative body violates the Ralph M. Brown Act:
[Describe alleged past action, as set forth in the cease and desist letter submitted pursuant to subdivision (a)] Item 12.c
In order to avoid unnecessary litigation and without admitting any violation of the Ralph M. Brown Act, the [name of legislative body] hereby unconditionally commits that it will cease, desist from, and not repeat the challenged past action as described above.

The [name of legislative body] may rescind this commitment only by a majority vote of its membership taken in open session at a regular meeting and noticed on its posted agenda as “Rescission of Brown Act Commitment.” You will be provided with written notice, sent by any means or media you provide in response to this message, to whatever address or addresses you specify, of any intention to consider rescinding this commitment at least 30 days before any such regular meeting. In the event that this commitment is rescinded, you will have the right to commence legal action pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 54960 of the Government Code. That notice will be delivered to you by the same means as this commitment, or may be mailed to an address that you have designated in writing.

Very truly yours,
________________________________________________
[Chairperson or acting chairperson of the legislative body] (2) An unconditional commitment pursuant to this subdivision shall be approved by the legislative body in open session at a regular or special meeting as a separate item of business, and not on its consent agenda. (3) An action shall not be commenced to determine the applicability of this chapter to any past action of the legislative body for which the legislative body has provided an unconditional commitment pursuant to this subdivision. During any action seeking a judicial determination regarding the applicability of this chapter to any past action of the legislative body pursuant to subdivision (a), if the court determines that the legislative body has provided an unconditional commitment pursuant to this subdivision, the action shall be dismissed with prejudice. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to modify or limit the existing ability of the district attorney or any interested person to commence an action to determine the applicability of this chapter to ongoing actions or threatened future actions of the legislative body.
(4) Except as provided in subdivision (d), the fact that a legislative body provides an unconditional commitment shall not be construed or admissible as evidence of a violation of this chapter. (d) If the legislative body provides an unconditional commitment as set forth in subdivision (c), the legislative body shall not thereafter take or engage in the challenged action described in the cease and desist letter, except as provided in subdivision (e). Violation of this subdivision shall constitute an independent violation of this chapter, without regard to whether the challenged action would otherwise violate this chapter. An action alleging past violation or threatened future violation of this subdivision may be brought pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 54960, without regard to the procedural requirements of this section. (e) The legislative body may resolve to rescind an unconditional commitment made pursuant to subdivision (c) by a majority vote of its membership taken in open session at a regular meeting as a separate item of business not on its consent agenda, and noticed on its posted agenda as “Rescission of Brown Act Commitment,” provided that not less than 30 days prior to such regular meeting, the legislative body provides written notice of its intent to consider the rescission to each person to whom the unconditional commitment was made, and to the district attorney. Upon rescission, the district attorney or any interested person may commence an action pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 54960. An action under this subdivision may be brought pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 54960, without regard to the procedural requirements of this section.

SEC. 25. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 5 4 of this act, which amends Section 54953 of, Section 5 of this act, which adds Section 54953.4 to, Sections 8 to 15, inclusive, of this act, which add Sections 54953.8 to 54953.8.7, respectively, to, Section 16 of this act, which adds Section 54953.9 to, Section 21 Section 19 of this act, which amends Section 54956.5 of, and Section 23 Section 22 of this act, which amends Section 54957.95 of, and Section 23 of this act, which adds Section 54957.96 to, the Government Code, impose a limitation on the public’s right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies within the meaning of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution. Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest:
(a) This act is necessary to provide opportunities for public participation in meetings of specified public agencies and to promote the recruitment and retention of members of those agencies. (b) This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in meetings.
(c) This act is necessary to modernize the Ralph M. Brown Act to reflect recent technological changes that can promote greater public access to local officials.
(d) The exclusively virtual nature of the California Online Community College presents unique barriers to the requirements for an inperson quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations. Participating students of the online community college come from all across the state and necessitating travel for these requirements would pose a significant and exclusionary barrier.

SEC. 26. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which amends Section 54952 of, Sections 2 and 3 Sections 1 and 2 of this act, which amend and repeal Section 54952.2, respectively, of, Section 4 3 of this act, which amends Section 54952.7 of, Section 5 4 of this act, which amends Section 54953 of, Section 5 of this act, which adds Section 54953.4 to, Section 6 of this act, Item 12.c
which amends Section 54953.5 of, Section 7 of this act, which amends Section 54953.7 of, Sections 8 to 15, inclusive, of this act, which add Sections 54953.8 to 54953.8.7, respectively, to, Section 16 of this act, which adds Section 54953.9 to, amends Section 54954.2 of, Section 17 of this act, which adds Section 54953.10 to, Sections 18 and 19 of this act, which amend Sections 54954.2 and 54954.3, respectively, amends Section 54954.3 of, Section 20 18 of this act, which amends Section 54956 of, Section 21 19 of this act, which amends Section 54956.5 of, Section 22 20 of this act, which amends Section 54957.6 of, Section 21 of this act, which amends Section 54957.9 of, Section 23 22 of this act, which amends Section 54957.95 of, Section 23 of this act, which adds Section 54957.96 to, and Section 24 of this act, which amends Section 54960.2 of, the Government Code, further, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:
(a) This act is necessary to provide opportunities for public participation in meetings of specified public agencies and to promote the recruitment and retention of members of those agencies. (b) This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in meetings.
(c) This act is necessary to modernize the Ralph M. Brown Act to reflect recent technological changes that can promote greater public access to local officials.
(d) The exclusively virtual nature of the California Online Community College presents unique barriers to the requirements for an inperson quorum, a physical location for public participation, and certain accommodations. Participating students of the online community college come from all across the state and necessitating travel for these requirements would pose a significant and exclusionary barrier.

SEC. 27. The Legislature finds and declares that adequate public access to meetings is a matter of statewide concern and is not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this bill would apply to all cities, including charter cities.

SEC. 28. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district under this act would result from a legislative mandate that is within the scope of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution.

CITY OF VACAVILLE
City Council
Staff Report

REVISED
Meeting Date: June 09, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Attention: Savita Chaudhary, City Manager
From: Tamara Colden, Housing and Community Director
(Tamara Colden, Housing and Community Director (707) 449-5671) Subject: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vacaville Authorizing Submission of a Homekey+ Funding Application for 52 Veteran Housing Units Within the Victory Gardens Affordable Housing Development at 5763 Vanden Road (APN 0136-080-040), and Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Execute Related Application Documents and Agreements Actions for Consideration:

That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing submission of a Homekey+ application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for $45,000,000 (number revised) in funding for 52 veteran housing units within the Victory Gardens affordable housing development located at 5763 Vanden Road and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute all required application materials and related documents.

Recommendations:

By simple motion, adopt the subject resolution.

Background:

On June 27, 2023, the City Council adopted the 2023–2031 Housing Element, which identifies strategies and programs to address the housing needs of Vacaville residents across all income levels. As part of the adopted Housing Element, the City identified the City-owned property located at 5763 Vanden Road (APN: 0136-080-040) as a key opportunity site for the development of affordable housing with a military and veteran focus.

On November 28, 2023, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified affordable housing developers for the Vanden Road site. The RFP required that the proposed development prioritize housing opportunities for military members and veterans consistent with Housing Element Program HE-2d. Following evaluation of proposals, the City Council approved entering into an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement with Mutual Housing California on May 28, 2024, to negotiate terms for development of the site as an affordable housing community Item 12.d
with a military focus. The approved project includes multifamily and single-family affordable housing units serving households at a range of income levels, including units dedicated to veterans.

On December 10, 2024, the City Council approved a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with Victory Gardens Vacaville LP for the first phase of the project for the development of the 206-unit affordable multi-family units. The approved project concept includes 52 housing units supported by Vacaville Housing Authority (VHA) Project-Based Vouchers targeted to veterans.

On March 11, 2025, the City Council approved an amendment to the DDA to strengthen the project’s competitiveness for state affordable housing financing programs by converting the City’s land contribution into a residual receipts seller carryback loan structure. In May 2025, the Vacaville Planning Commission approved the project entitlements for the Victory Gardens development.

Following approval of the project entitlements, Victory Gardens Vacaville LP pursued several competitive state and federal funding opportunities to advance the Vanden Road development and reduce reliance on local subsidy sources. The project applied to CalHFA’s Mixed-Income Program (MIP) financing program. Award results released in April 2025 indicated the funding round was significantly more competitive than prior years due to increased application volume, reduced available funding, and higher tiebreaker thresholds.

In June 2025, the project applied for approximately $5 million in HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Builds funding through the Housing First Solano Continuum of Care in partnership with Community Action Partnership Solano JPA. After submission, HUD released a revised CoC Builds Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) that superseded the prior program guidelines and significantly narrowed eligible project types to medical respite permanent supportive housing serving elderly individuals and/or persons with physical disabilities. Remaining competitive under the revised program would have required substantial changes to the Victory Gardens project scope and target population, and the original application was not advanced.

In January 2026, the project applied for a $500,000 Home Depot Foundation grant to support housing development activities. Most recently, in May 2026, Mutual Housing California applied through California’s Factory-Built Housing Regional Pilot Program to support broader advancement of factory-built housing strategies. While the program is not a direct funding source for the Victory Gardens project itself, it can support activities such as refinement of standardized modular plans, factory-built housing implementation strategies, and other scalable approaches that may be utilized across multiple Mutual Housing developments, including Victory Gardens.

Discussion:

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), in partnership with the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet), released the Homekey+ NOFA to support the development of housing for veterans and other individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness who also have behavioral health supportive service needs. Recent amendments to the Homekey+ program were specifically intended to increase utilization of veteranItem 12.d designated funding and improve the feasibility of mixed-income developments pursuing tax credit financing alongside supportive housing components.

Key program amendments made in March this year now allow projects pursuing future LowIncome Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) financing to apply for Homekey+ funding prior to receiving tax credit awards, exempt certain projects from standard new construction cost containment limits, and provide enhanced operating subsidy support for veteran-serving units. The revised guidelines also prioritize developments containing dedicated veteran housing units supported by long-term affordability restrictions, project-based rental assistance, and coordinated supportive services.

The Victory Gardens development is well-positioned to compete for Homekey+ funding due to the project’s existing military and veteran housing focus, inclusion of 52 units supported through Project-Based Vouchers with a veteran preference (veteran family of four earning up to $36,050 annually), and proximity to Travis Air Force Base and regional veteran-serving resources. The proposed units represent approximately 25 percent of the overall development, while the remaining units are intended to serve low- and moderate-income households, including working families and military households earning up to 80 percent of Area Median Income (family of four earning up to $96,150 annually).

Mutual Housing Management (MHM), an affiliate of Mutual Housing California, will be the property management company for Victory Gardens. MHM successfully manages 25 properties across the Greater Sacramento region and has strong tenant selection criteria, skilled property management staff, and a robust operating budget. Services for the veteran units will be provided by Insight Housing (formerly Berkeley Food and Housing Project) and will be coordinated with property management and housing navigation services. All residents of the development will enter into legally binding lease agreements and remain subject to standard property management rules and lease enforcement requirements. Residents receiving ProjectBased Voucher assistance must additionally comply with applicable Vacaville Housing Authority program requirements, including ongoing eligibility verification and program compliance obligations.

If approved this evening, the proposed resolution would authorize submission of a Homekey+ application for $45,000,000.00 (number revised) for the 52 veteran housing units within the broader Victory Gardens affordable housing development and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute all required application materials and related documents.

Environmental Impact:

This action associated with the grant application is exempt from the California Environmental Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On May 20, 2025, the Vacaville Planning Commission evaluated the Vacaville Victory Gardens Project and determined no environmental review was required pursuant to CEQA Section 15164 because the project was within the scope of the previously certified Vacaville General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number 2011022043). As part of their determination, the Commission approved the project as recorded by PC Resolution No. 2025- 002.

Item 12.d
Fiscal Impact:

Amount Requested: $45,000,000.00 (number revised) Homekey+ Funds Funding Source: State Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey+ funds.

Budget Distribution: Upon approval, the budget will be loaded into the appropriate fund.

Alternatives:

The Council could choose not to approve authorizing submission of a Homekey+ application.

This is not recommended as Homekey+ funding would help close a critical financing gap. While the project could continue pursuing alternative financing sources, no comparable funding source has currently been identified, which could result in delays to the veteran housing component and the overall project financing schedule. The project approvals, entitlements, and DDA would remain in effect. It would also delay advancing the City’s Housing Element goals and Regional Housing Needs Allocation obligations for lower-income housing.
