ACTION ITEM 9.A.
DATE: July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Arthur Gonzales, Interim Fire Chief
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE VALLEJO MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 7.57 RELATING TO FIRE HAZARD
SEVERITY ZONES WITHIN A LOCAL AGENCY'S JURISDICTION AD RECOMMENDED
BY THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODES 51177-51179.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Vallejo amending the Vallejo Municipal Code to add chapter 7.57 adopting the 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map as recommended by the California State Fire Marshal in compliance with California Government Code Sections 51177 through 51179.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Due to both destructive and deadly wildfires across California, these updates will provide a more accurate assessment of wildfire risk across California communities and strengthen fire prevention efforts by amending the Vallejo Municipal Code to reflect revised Fire Hazard Severity Zones within the Local Responsibility Area (LRA) as mandated by state law. On February 24, 2025, CAL FIRE released updated FHSZ maps for Local Responsibility Areas pursuant to Government Code Section 51178.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
California Government Code Sections 51175–51179 establish requirements for identifying, mapping, and mitigating wildfire hazards through the designation of Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Section 51178 requires CAL FIRE to classify lands within Local Responsibility Areas into moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria.
On February 24, 2025, CAL FIRE finalized and released updated FHSZ maps for Local Responsibility Areas, including areas within the City of Vallejo. These updates replace prior zone designations and incorporate recent data on vegetation, topography, weather patterns, and historical fire behavior. The updated maps are intended to assist local agencies and residents in reducing wildfire risks and to inform land use planning, building standards, and defensible space requirements.
The updated FHSZ maps identify specific areas within Vallejo that are now classified as Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zones, warranting additional fire prevention standards per state and local code. To comply with Government Code Section 51179, the City must adopt a local ordinance that formally recognizes these new designations in the Vallejo Municipal Code, particularly those under Health and Safety regulations.
The ordinance would:
• Add Vallejo Municipal Code sections under the Health and Safety title to include reference to updated CAL FIRE maps.
• Require adherence to wildfire mitigation requirements for newly identified FHSZ areas.
Date: July 8, 2025
Subject: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE VALLEJO MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 7.57 RELATING TO FIRE HAZARD
SEVERITY ZONES WITHIN A LOCAL AGENCY'S JURISDICTION AD
RECOMMENDED BY THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODES 51177-51179.
• Support enforcement of defensible space regulations and applicable building code requirements for structures located in these zones.
CAL FIRE conducted a public comment period prior to finalizing the updated maps. The City will continue to provide outreach to affected property owners and residents through mailers, public meetings, and the City’s website.
The adoption of this ordinance will ensure that the City of Vallejo remains compliant with state fire safety laws, enhances public safety, and reflects current wildfire risk based on the latest scientific data provided by CAL FIRE.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact from adopting the ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

1. How does VPD reinforce staffing?
• Shared Services: Assign a VPD detective to a federal task force. Sharing specialized units like crime task forces, reduces strain on any one agency while expanding service. We plan to fill this FBI Task Force Officer (TFO) position by shift change Jan 2026. Assigning a VPD officer to a Task Force is a force multiplier.
• Structured Overtime: Continue to target overtime for high-crime areas. This approach is effective when staffed during the days and hours when that activity is most prevalent. We are already implementing and plan to continue this practice when we have critical incidents affecting a specific neighborhood, as done previously with proactive patrols in the crest. Structured overtime can also be used to up-staff the POP team to enhance their capacity to address criminal behavior until the team reaches an acceptable staffing level.
• Retention Incentives: Offer incentive pay to existing officers to increase morale and retention. In progress.
• Background Process: Alter current HR hiring practice to continue candidate background investigations until a final job offer is made.
• Tip Line Reward Programs: Expanding programs like Crime Stoppers to incentivize anonymous community reporting, particularly effective for violent crime reduction. The current Crime Stoppers tip line is operational but lacks a monetary reward mechanism. • Technology Enhancements:

RETENTION
o Automated Report Writing & Transcription Tools: Explore platforms such as Axon to reduce report writing time, enabling officers to return to the field more quickly. Axon has the capability using AI to analyze BWC footage of an incident to self-populate key areas of the initial police report.
o Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs): Continue to use ALPR technology to identify stolen vehicles, apprehend offenders, and as an investigative tool for follow-up investigations. We have a proposed expansion to the Flock technology program to include more condor Pivot Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cameras and more ALPR Falcon cameras. This expansion will require a consistent funding source, such as the general fund.
o Mobile Surveillance Towers: Explore deploying technology monitor traffic corridors, commercial parking lots, and other quality-of-life hotspots. Encourage businesses to implement these in addition to private security. These would be extremely helpful in areas frequently plagued with copper theft (Mare Island, VCUSD schools, PG&E Towers). These devices, FLOCK technology, and Drone technology are key components in the creation and operations of a Real-Time Information Center (R-TIC) in Vallejo.
2. How can VPD increase recruitment, particularly with lateral officers? • Lateral Hiring Incentive: Offer hiring incentives for lateral officers. In progress. • Recruitment Campaigns: Continue to work with Allstar Recruitment to use purpose-driven marketing that emphasizes community service roles.
• Loan Programs: Explore programs that offer low-interest loans to ease financial barriers for recruits and new hire officers.
• Technology Enhancements:
o Virtual Ride-Alongs: Consider implementing mobile apps to simulate patrol experiences for interested prospects. Continue to educate the public using our current Virtra software technology.
3. How can VPD provide better public safety services?
• Civilianization: Continue to assign non-enforcement duties to Police Assistants and IHART staff. This allows sworn officers to concentrate on complex incidents, including violent crime, sex trafficking, and quality-of-life issues like homelessness.
• Retired Annuitant Programs: Engage retired officers part-time in specialized roles such as investigations, training, or traffic enforcement to leverage institutional knowledge and ease staffing gaps. This will be a major topic of meet and confer discussion with the affected labor union (VPOA). • Cadet Program: Revitalize and expand the cadet program to help with traffic control, homeless outreach, community education, and school safety patrols. Currently we are building our grass roots Police Explorer program (ages 14-18) to be the future feeder for the police cadet program. We have struggled to support this program in recent years due to low staffing. In progress with Sgt. Hollis. • Adult & Senior Volunteer and Community on Patrol (COP) Programs: Revitalize the program enlisting adults and seniors with abandoned vehicle checks, minor traffic diversions, and neighborhood patrols, extending the department’s reach. In progress with Sgt. Hollis. • Technology Enhancements:
o Surveillance Drones: Expand the drone program to monitor and safely respond to emergency and non-emergency events. Consistent funding will be required.
Date: July 8, 2025

• Service Model Adjustments:
o Verified Alarm Response: Adopt an ordinance to prioritize response to alarms only when criminal activity is confirmed, reducing unnecessary dispatches. In progress with the CAO. o Security Guards for Non-Critical Duties: Expand non-armed private security for building watches, parking lot or hot-spot patrols, to free sworn officers for higher-priority response. In progress with PW.
o Loitering with the intent to commit prostitution ordinance: Ordinance prohibits individuals from lingering, remaining, or wandering in a public place with the apparent purpose of engaging in or soliciting prostitution-related activities. In progress with CAO.
4. What support does VPD need from city leadership?
• Mental Health and Wellness Support:
o Continue to offer peer support teams and embedded clinicians, providing trauma care and counseling.
o Develop and offer wellness centers incorporating therapy and biofeedback to reduce officer burnout.
o Continue to fund and provide trauma retreats and wellness resource navigation. o Allow flexible scheduling and recovery time to support officers working in high-stress roles or experience a high-stress event. In progress grant application. • Family and Cultural Support:
o Provide outreach programs to assist loved ones recognize job-related stress to help foster a supportive home environment.
o Rely on and support our VPD Spouses and Loved Ones groups, to continue to run programs such as the “Capoot Closet” which provides donated supplies (such as diapers and children’s toys) distributed to the community by patrol officers.
• Technology Enhancements:
o Continue to offer wellness apps such as Lighthouse to provide private mental health assessments and resource access.
o Provide stress dashboards and biofeedback devices monitor cumulative trauma exposure.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact related to receiving information on the Police Department's recruitment and retention activities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

ACTION ITEM 9.C.
DATE: July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Stephanie Sifuentes, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: APPROVE A SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VALLEJO AND THE
VALLEJO POLICE OFFICERS' ASSOCIATION (VPOA) FOR THE RECRUITMENT,
RETENTION, AND REFERRAL INCENTIVE PLAN AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE EXPENDITURE OF $2,000,000 FOR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION (STEP 1 OF 2)
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the side letter agreement between the City and VPOA for the Recruitment, Retention, and Referral Plan and provide notice of intent to amend the City's Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Adopted Budget.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the side letter agreement between the City and VPOA for the Recruitment, Retention, and Referral Incentive Plan and notice of intent to amend the budget, to enhance the retention of existing staff and to incentivize recruitment efforts to attract the best qualified candidates.This is the first step of the required two-step budget amendment process to amend the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. If the City Council approves tonight's recommendation, the final action will be scheduled for City Council's consideration on July 22, 2025.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Public safety staffing shortages are significant and ongoing across the U.S. A survey by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) in 2019 found that 78% of agencies surveyed nationwide were experiencing recruitment challenges. These recruitment challenges grew in 2020 with the pandemic and widely publicized incidents of police misconduct, which fueled community backlash and demand for police reform, including the “defund the police” movement. Public safety staffing numbers continued to steadily decline through 2023 with high rates of officers retiring or leaving the force. For California in particular, the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) published new “first-of-its-kind” research data on July 22, 2024, which shows dangerously low levels of police staffing across the state, citing a 30-year low.
Impacted agencies have had to reduce/eliminate neighborhood presence, reduce services and/or reduce or eliminate specialized units, all of which contribute to an increase in crime, an increase in response times, and an increase in businesses shuttering their doors. In addition, agencies are relying on overtime, which can lead to burnout and excess strain on existing staff. Agencies across the U.S. have implemented various options to address the public safety staffing crisis, such as enhanced marketing campaigns, recruitment strategies to attract candidates from diverse backgrounds, recruitment/retention/referral incentives, reviewing existing policies and recruitment and selection processes.
The City of Vallejo is not alone in this public safety staffing shortage. On July 25, 2023, the City Council adopted a proclamation declaring a state of local emergency related to public safety staffing. In conjunction, and at the direction of City Council, previous City Manager, Mike Malone, assigned $2 million at the end of FY 2022-23 to help address recruitment and retention. Mr. Malone then tasked the Human Resources Department with (1) conducting a study of surrounding agencies and their recruitment and retention incentives for Police Officers, (2) creating a recruitment and retention plan for City of Vallejo Police Officers, and (3)

finding a way to amplify recruitment efforts and identify other means for resolving the staffing crisis in the short-term. These efforts to address the public safety staffing shortage began in Summer 2023 and have continued through staffing transitions in the City Manager's Office, City Council, and VPOA.
The City is committed to addressing the public safety staffing emergency with a multipronged approach, which includes (1) identifying and contracting out for enhanced marketing campaigns for recruitment, (2) implementing a recruitment, retention, and referral incentive to (a) incentivize current staff to stay, (b) incentivize current staff to assist the City in recruiting good candidates, (c) incentivize applicants to choose Vallejo, (3) working with Solano County to contract with for supplemental law enforcement assistance, (4) broadening existing contract for security guard services, (5) working with VPOA to find a path forward for broadening our use of retired annuitants to address the short-term staffing needs, (6) looking for interim housing options for the Vallejo Police Department, (7) looking at other ways in which we can improve morale and working conditions.
The item before Council tonight is the Recruitment, Retention, and Referral Incentive Plan. Utilizing information gained from the study of other surrounding agencies who have implemented recruitment and retention incentives, a Recruitment, Retention, and Referral Incentive Plan was developed to address police officer recruitment and retention challenges over the long-term. There are three primary components to this plan, each with specific milestones and criteria as outlined in the attached plan:
1. The Recruitment Incentive is designed to recruit Lateral Police Officers only (meaning, Police Officers who can join VPD and be effective on the streets in a short period of time). This incentive is $15,000 per hire.
2. The Retention Incentive is intended to recognize and demonstrate appreciation for those Vallejo Police Officers who have been with the City through challenging staffing times, and to encourage them to continue their good work as the City does everything possible to hire additional support for them. This retention incentive is $15,000 for each Vallejo Police Officer.
3. The Referral Incentive is intended to encourage Vallejo Police Officers to help the City recruit Lateral Police Officers. The Referral Incentive is $5,000 for each successful referral.
In addition to the Recruitment, Retention, and Referral Incentive Plan before Council tonight, the City has been working to bring the other prongs of this strategy together. The Human Resources Department and Vallejo Police Department collaborated on an RFP process to find a talent marketing and recruitment firm to increase methodologies, exposure, and success of recruitment efforts. A firm with demonstrated success in recruiting public safety positions in other agencies very similar to the City of Vallejo was identified as the top selection.
HR and VPD worked diligently with that firm to build out the recruitment platform as well as the accompanying media, and it is up and running. The contract for Solano Sheriff’s assistance will be in front of the Board of Supervisors again on July 22, 2025. The City has engaged VPOA regarding the Security Guard contract and POAC and will be engaging them regarding retired annuitants in the near future. The City Manager is looking at options for Council to consider for interim housing for the VPD as well as additional ways in which we can improve morale and working conditions.
In order to move forward with implementing the Recruitment, Retention, and Referral Incentive Plan, we're required to amend the budget to appropriate the expenditure of the assigned funds. This is the first step of the required two-step budget amendment process to amend the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. City Council will consider tonight's notice of intent to amend the budget. If the City Council approves tonight's recommendation,

the final action will be scheduled for City Council's consideration on July 22, 2025. This amended budget would go into effect on July 23, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT
This notice of intent does not have any fiscal impact. IF the City Council approves tonight’s recommendation, the fiscal impact of the final action that is scheduled for City Council consideration on July 22, 2025 will be as follows:
Proposed increase of General Fund expenditures of $2 million for citywide recruitment and retention will be funded from the assigned fund balance set aside from prior year surplus.

ACTION ITEM 9.D.
DATE: July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jason Ta, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: PROVIDE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE $1,150,000 FOR PUBLIC SAFETY MEASURES TO REDUCE VIOLENCE (STEP 1 OF 2)
RECOMMENDATION
Provide Notice Of Intent To Amend Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget To Appropriate $1,150,000 For Public Safety Measures To Reduce Violence (Step 1 of 2)
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Per City Charter Section 703, amending the budget requires public notice and intent prior to any action taken.
A staff report recommending amendment of the budget will be presented to City Counci at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
At its special meeting held on July 1, the City Council directed staff to return with Step 1 budget amendments for the following items as part of short-term strategies to mitigate community violence.
Funding for up to $500,000 for as many security tower cameras as that budget allows
Security tower cameras are elevated surveillance units designed to enhance public safety by providing high- visibility monitoring in areas of concern. Typically mounted on a telescoping pole and trailer-mounted for mobility, these systems are strategically deployed in high-crime hotspots or other priority locations to serve as both a visual deterrent and an investigative resource for law enforcement.
Equipped with high-definition cameras, motion sensors, loudspeakers, and remote 24-hour monitoring capabilities (available for an additional fee), security tower cameras have been widely used in the region with success. The presence of these highly visible units can deter criminal activity by increasing the perceived risk of detection. In addition to prevention, the recorded video footage can be an invaluable tool in assisting law enforcement with follow-up criminal investigations, helping to identify offenders, gather evidence, and support successful prosecutions.
Funding for up to $50,000 for Summer Block Party Program
A Block Party Program is a proven community engagement strategy that enhances public safety by strengthening neighborhood relationships and building trust between residents, City leadership, and the police department. When neighbors know one another and feel invested in their community, they are more likely to collaborate, share information, and partner with law enforcement. These factors have been shown to reduce opportunities for violent crime and increase the reporting of suspicious activity.
Community-led events such as block parties foster these connections by creating opportunities for residents to

Subject: PROVIDE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE $1,150,000 FOR PUBLIC SAFETY MEASURES TO REDUCE VIOLENCE (STEP 1 OF 2)
engage in positive, informal interactions in a familiar setting. This builds a greater sense of ownership, belonging, and collective responsibility for the well-being of the neighborhood. National studies and practices in other cities have demonstrated that neighborhoods with strong community ties tend to experience lower levels of violent crime and improved cooperation with public safety initiatives.
To support this effort, a budget amendment of up to $50,000 is recommended to launch a summer Block Party Program in the City of Vallejo. This funding would be used to streamline the permitting process, provide extra- help staff to review and implement requests efficiently, and offer financial support for event necessities such as food, equipment, and materials.
By investing in this initiative, the City can empower residents to take an active role in creating safer, more connected neighborhoods while complementing traditional law enforcement strategies.
Funding for up to $300,000 to subsidize (from zero up to 80% on a needs basis) for children to participate in the GVRD year-round programs
Recreational and enrichment programs play a critical role in improving public safety by providing positive, structured opportunities for youth development and community engagement. Programs offered by the Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) serve as a vital resource for young people, promoting improved academic performance, social development, and leadership skills, while reducing the likelihood of involvement in delinquent or criminal behavior.
Access to recreational programs, mentorship, and enrichment activities reduces risk factors associated with violent crime and juvenile offenses, particularly among youth in underserved communities. By offering safe spaces, skill-building opportunities, and positive role models, these programs divert young people from negative influences and foster a greater sense of connection to their community.
Unfortunately, many Vallejo families face financial barriers that prevent their children from participating in these programs. To address this inequity, the City can provide financial assistance or subsidies to ensure all youth have fair access to these essential opportunities, regardless of economic circumstances.
An investment in recreational and enrichment programs is an investment in both the immediate and long-term safety of Vallejo. Supporting expanded access to these programs strengthens the social fabric of our community, promotes positive youth development, and is a proven, preventative strategy to reduce juvenile crime and violence.
Re-establish the Safe Start to School Programs at Lincoln, Hogan, St. Vincent, and Pennycook elementary schools from the start of the school year until summer break
The Safe Start to School Program was piloted by the Police Department in Spring 2025 and proved to be extremely successful in enhancing safety around school zones. The program focuses on increasing traffic awareness, educating drivers, and reducing risks for children walking or biking to school. By creating a visible law enforcement presence and partnering with school communities, these events remind motorists to slow down, obey traffic laws, and stay vigilant in areas heavily traveled by students.
Experience has demonstrated that targeted traffic safety initiatives near schools significantly reduce speeding, reckless driving, and other hazardous behaviors, ultimately decreasing the likelihood of traffic-related injuries involving children.

Subject: PROVIDE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE $1,150,000 FOR PUBLIC SAFETY MEASURES TO REDUCE VIOLENCE (STEP 1 OF 2)
The Police Department is committed to continuing and expanding this initiative for the upcoming 2025–2026 school year. At a minimum, Safe Start to School events will be held in the areas surrounding Lincoln, Hogan, St. Vincent’s, and Pennycook schools. These events represent a proactive investment in student safety and community awareness, reinforcing the shared responsibility of protecting children as they travel to and from school.
Up to $300,000 in funding for the Vallejo VISION Program. Staff will bring back a deeper discussion to determine what that funding will provide and as noted continue to pursue grant opportuities to supplement the $300,000.
Vallejo VISION is a new approach to reducing gun violence in our community. This model is not an “enforcement-centric” approach, but rather a citywide commitment intended to change the behavior of those at highest risk to committing gun violence or be victims of it. This is accomplished by providing a unique network of community services and support to individuals in an effort to improve their quality of life and to be a deterrent from committing further violence. Accountability for the VISION approach is the key to success and sustainability and also bridges the gap between law enforcement, community organizations, and solidifies cross-departmental/agency collaboration. The need to reduce gun violence in Vallejo is at the forefront of community concern and following the public safety workshop, Vallejoans clearly support a shared approach to public safety. When committing to the creation a program such as VISION, there should be funding attached in order to support the proper collaborations and access to resources needed to produce successful outcomes. Funding for up to $300,000 will assist in the implementation of a successful program while the City applies for an upcoming Cal-VIP grant in Cohort 5.
FISCAL IMPACT
The notice of intent does not have any fiscal impact. If the City Council approves tonight’s recommendation, a follow up action to amend the budget (step 2) is scheduled for City Council consideration on July 22, 2025.
This subsequent action will include the following anticipated fiscal impacts:
The proposed public safety measures will increase the FY 2025-26 budget by $1,150,000. Funding sources will include the following:
1. Utilizing available General Fund unassigned fund balance, where appropriate.
2. Requesting the Measure P Oversight Committee (MPOC) to review the proposed $300,000 GVRD youth subsidy, and returning to Council to amend the budget if recommended.
3. Allocating any surplus from the FY 2024-25 General Fund to cover one-time costs, such as the Block Party and/or Security Towers.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

ACTION ITEM 9.E.
DATE: July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Andrew Murray, City Manager
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON CITY COUNCIL REFERRALS AND CURRENT TWO-
STEP PROCESS FOR AGENDIZING
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and provide direction to staff on the following:
1. Current List of City Council referrals from January 1 to June 30, 2025
2. Current Two-Step Process for agendizing
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
City staff needs direction from Council on whether to scope and implement Council referrals including any changes to the current “two-step process” for agendizing.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
City Council referrals are requests for future Council agenda items or special projects that the City Council directs City staff to research and possibly implement in addition to staff’s routine work and projects required by other City work planning processes, such as the strategic plan and the budget processes. In Vallejo, the City Council requests and provides direction to staff on referrals through the following process:
• A Council Member requests, during the Report of the Presiding Officer and Members of the City Council portion of a Council Meeting, that the City Council consider at a future meeting whether to direct staff to develop a scope (tasks, schedule, and budget) to implement a project regarding a particular issue.
• At a future meeting, City staff agendizes Council discussion and action (majority, via minute order) on whether to direct staff to scope a project regarding the issue. The Council Member that originally requested the referral describes the issue and objective (Step 1). • If approved in Step 1, City staff prepares a scope and agendizes Council discussion and action on whether City staff shall implement the scope.
• Council considers the information at a future meeting (Step 2) and if approved in Step 2, City staff implements the project and completes the work.
This process is similar to that used by many other jurisdictions.
Staff presented a number of referrals that predate the current Council to the newly seated City Council on February 11, 2025. The item was continued to a special meeting held on February 18, 2025. At that meeting, staff presented the staff developed scopes for 16 referrals requested by the City Council on September 10, 2024 and the list of 13 referrals added between December 10, 2024 and January 28, 2025. City Council directed staff as follows:

City staff seek Council’s direction on whether or not to proceed to agendize the eight that are awaiting scoping and the 2 that is awaiting to be agendized per direction from the City Council at its February 18 special meeting whether on a date certain, and whether to eliminate any of these items. One of the referrals added in January 14, 2025 is a duplicate of a previous referral (review of City’s existing boards, commissions, and committees).
The updated spreadsheet of all referrals from January 1 to June 30, 2025 is provided as Attachment 1 to this staff report.
Current Referral Process
Staff is also seeking Council’s direction on the current referral process. Vallejo Municipal Code Section
2.02.230 in part, allows for items of business to be included on the agenda at the request of the mayor, by individual councilmember, by the city manager, or by the city attorney.
Date: July 8, 2025
Subject: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON CITY COUNCIL REFERRALS AND CURRENT
TWO-STEP PROCESS FOR AGENDIZING
In Vallejo, the City Council requests and provides direction to staff on referrals through the process outlined on Page One of this staff report. Included as Attachment 2 is the Council staff report from a former City Manager outlining the process followed to date which a former Council agreed to. This was done to formalize Councilmember requests to provide a structured way for all councilmembers to request items to ensure all requests are treated equitably, address and allow staff time to prioritize and allocate resources efficiently and help to align agenda items with broader policy goals, strategic plans, and council priorities.
If the Council wishes to deviate from the current procedure, a suggestion that a neighboring city utilizes is provided for your consideration below.
Report of the Presiding Officer and Members of the City Council In addition to the report on meetings and events attended, under this agenda item, any Council Member may make a motion that an item be scheduled for discussion at a future City Council meeting or that staff conduct a special follow-up task. The request must be approved by a majority vote of the Council in order to be carried out. The Council Member raising the request shall specify the type of follow-up they seek, among the following:
• Staff provide information on a topic to Council in a memorandum • Staff schedule a presentation to Council by an outside party at a future Council meeting • Staff schedule a report to Council by staff at a future Council meeting • Staff schedule an agenda item at a future Council meeting for staff to receive direction from Council on an issue
• Staff present proposed City legislation/policy (resolution or ordinance) to City Council at a future meeting
Council requests that staff conduct a special project that would require substantial staff time and/or substantial other City resources will be brought to Council as a future Council agenda item for staff to receive direction from Council on how to resource and prioritize the special project within the City workplan.
Until Chapter 2.02 of the Vallejo Municipal Code is revised, staff recommends that the City Council continue utilizing the “Report of the Presiding Officer and Members of the City Council” section of the agenda to request items for future meetings.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of providing a staff update on a Council topic of interest is negligible.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

ACTION ITEM 9.F.
DATE: July 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alicia M. Jones, Housing Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN OF THE CITY OF VALLEJO FOR FISCAL YEARS 2025-26 THROUGH 2029-30, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SUBMIT TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN
DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the Five-Year Consolidated Plan ("Consolidated Plan") of the City of Vallejo for Fiscal Years 2025-26 through 2029-30, and authorize the City Manager to submit to the U.S. Department Of Housing And Urban Development (HUD).
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
By submitting a Consolidated Plan to HUD, the City maintains its eligibility for, and may receive, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investment Partnerships ("HOME") Program funds on an annual basis. These funds benefit the City by helping it to accomplish its affordable housing and community development goals.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Eligible state and local governments receive annual block grants for community development and affordable housing from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For the City of Vallejo, these grants include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and the HOME Investment Partnerships ("HOME") Program. The City is required by HUD to prepare a Five-Year Consolidated Plan in order to receive these funds.
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan addresses housing and community development needs, and contains several components, including a needs assessment, analysis, and identification of priority affordable housing and community development needs in the City of Vallejo. The City’s next Consolidated Plan will be for the period beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2030 and due to HUD at least 45 days before the start of the City's program/fiscal year, or by May 15th, or 60 days after HUD has announced the grant funding amount.
HUD instructs grantees to not submit plans until HUD has released its annual funding allocations. Funding allocations were announced on Wednesday, May 14, 2025; therefore, the deadline is on July 13, 2025. The statutory deadline to submit the Consolidated Plan to HUD is no later than August 16th of each year.
The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan also includes the City's proposed allocation of FY 2025-26 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026) Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds to projects and activities. Additionally, in the Consolidated Plan, the City provides a projection of the financial and other resources, from all sources, it anticipates will be available to address the community's affordable housing and (non-housing) community development needs over a five-year period. A key feature of these grants is the grantee’s ability to choose how the funds will be used. For each program, HUD describes a broad range of eligible activities. Local governments can determine which of the eligible activities will best serve the needs of their community. In order to determine the most pressing needs and develop effective, place-based market-driven strategies to meet those needs, HUD requires grantees to develop a Consolidated

DEVELOPMENT
Plan.
Consolidated Plan Process
The Consolidated Plan regulations require that grantees meet certain citizen participation requirements. Each grantee is required to prepare a Citizen Participation Plan that details the community’s procedures for involving the public in its program planning and implementation. According to the City of Vallejo's Citizen Participation Plan, before a draft of the Consolidated Plan is prepared, the City will hold at least one public hearing to gather information and receive comments on housing and community development needs in the community. The first hearing, held on January 7, 2025, provided an opportunity for residents and other interested parties to comment on how the City’s CDBG Program and HOME Program funds may be used in FY 2025-26 (period beginning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026). Public notices regarding this hearing were published in three languages: English, Spanish, and Tagalog, in the local newspaper, Vallejo Times Herald, on December 21, 2024. Copies of the public notices are provided in Attachment 2.
The City held its second public hearing for the public to comment on the draft Consolidated Plan during a special Housing and Community Development (HCD) Commission Meeting on May 20, 2025. Public notices regarding this hearing were published in three languages: English, Spanish, and Tagalog, in the local newspaper, Vallejo Times Herald, on May 8, 2025. Copies of the public notices are provided in Attachment 2.
Upon conclusion of the May 20, 2025 public hearing, the Housing and Community Development Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the City of Vallejo’s fiscal year (FY) 2025-26 through 2029-30 consolidated plan, including proposed FY 2025-26 Community Development Block Grant Program and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding allocations for submittal to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. The draft Consolidated Plan is provided in Attachment 3.
Five-Year Consolidated Plan Priorities
The Needs Assessment and Market Analysis in the Consolidated Plan, identified two priority needs: affordable housing and community/public services. These priority needs will be addressed with the following goals:
• Increase affordable housing opportunities
• Owner-occupied single family housing rehabilitation
• Public services
• Promote fair housing
• Enhace Public Faicilites/Infraturcture
• Homelessness Prevention Services
• Program administration
FISCAL IMPACT
This item allows the City of Vallejo to remain eligible to receive annual grants from HUD. The Council's action will approve a new Five-Year Consolidated Plan for FYs 2025-26 through 2029-30 for submission to HUD, and will allocate $1,006,521 and $10,000 for the CDBG and the HOME Programs, respectively, totaling $1,016,521 in HUD grant and program income to projects and activities in FY 2025-26.

Affordable housing projects and developments are completed through partnerships with non-profit and for-profit housing developers.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).
City employees from the HCD Department will staff the VHA, which administers the Housing Choice Voucher, Project Based Voucher, Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS), and Veterans' Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Voucher. HCD anticipates contracting with a non-profit agency, Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California (FHANC), to facilitate education and homebuyer counseling programs. The Housing Authority and social service providers share information and target supportive services where possible on behalf of its FSS participants. Non-profit housing and social service organizations will be invited to submit CDBG and HOME Program proposals to the City, to address the highest priority affordable housing and community development needs in Vallejo. The advisory City Housing and Community Development (HCD) Commission, appointed by the City Council, provided input into how these funds will be allocated in FY 2025-26.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness The Assistant to the City Manager sits on the Continuum of Care (CoC) Board for Solano County (Housing First Solano), as well as on the governing board of the Community Action Partnership of Solano (CAP Solano), a joint powers authority, to support Vallejo's ongoing work to address homeless and safety net service needs, and works with these entities to develop programs and supportive services to maintain a seamless continuum of care for the homeless. City staff provides technical assistance where necessary and appropriate to strengthen capacity and identify and secure resources, or assist agencies to access resources, to carry out the activities proposed in the Consolidated Plan's Strategic Plan.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS Each year, CAP Solano receives housing project proposals for the homeless, including for permanent housing, transitional housing, and supportive services. The HUD Supportive Housing Program funds many of these programs on a competitive basis. For the last several years, the County of Solano has been successful in securing funding from HUD, the State, and private sources for homeless assistance centers, transitional housing, supportive services, and permanent housing. The City of Vallejo has been an active and participating member of the Continuum of Care in the County of Solano since its inception, and as noted above, the City's Assistant to the City Manager sits on the CoC Board. This provides guidance as to the City's choice of priority needs and funding allocations.

Discussion
To summarize, in Vallejo, (32%) of the population experience a housing problem. Cost burdens are the most common housing problem, which tend to have their greatest effects on extremely low-income households and small families. Severe cost burdens, too, have great impacts on extremely low-income households, as well as non-family households. Where overcrowding occurs, this housing problem also tends to have its greatest effect on small families.

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens – 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole.
Introduction:
This section looks at levels of need by race and ethnicity to identify groups that are disproportionately likely to have housing needs compared to the city overall. While the preceding sections assessed all housing and severe housing problems, Table 21 focuses only on what share of their income households spend on housing. Data is broken down into groups spending less than 30% of income on housing costs, those paying between 30 and 50% (i.e., with a cost burden), and those paying over 50% (i.e., with a severe cost burden). The final column, “no/negative income,” identifies households without an income, for whom housing as a share of income was not calculated. Although several groups have households with no computed income, the share of these households is generally low, not exceeding 4% for any racial or ethnic group.

In several income categories, there are racial and ethnic groups with disproportionate housing needs relative to the needs of the income group as a whole. These include:
• Households with incomes under 30% AMI –White households have a disproportionate housing need and severe housing need. Hispanic, Asian, Black households also have a disproportionate severe housing need at this income level.
• Households with incomes from 30 to 50% AMI - Hispanic and Black/African American households have a disproportionate rate of housing need and severe housing needs. One other, relative group Asian) has disproportionately high rates of severe housing needs:
• Households with incomes from 50 to 80% AMI – Black/African America and Hispanic households have a disproportionate rate of housing need and severe housing need. Asian households also show a disproportionately high rate of severe housing needs. • Households with incomes from 80 to 100% AMI – Hispanics have a disproportionate rate of housing need No races or ethnicities show a disproportionate rate of severe housing needs.

NA-35 Public Housing – 91.205(b)
Introduction
Residents in the City of Vallejo are served with public housing by the Vallejo Housing Authority (VHA). Currently, the Vallejo Housing Authority provides over 2088 publicly supported housing units: 2041 units of traditional public housing and 20 housing choice vouchers. HUD Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Information Center data also lists one of the housing choice vouchers as a VASH voucher, which is designated to provide housing for a military/veteran family. Demographic data from the HUD PIH Information Center (PIC) indicates that the majority of Vallejo Housing Authority households are African American 1568 (85%). Eight percent (8%) of DHA households are white 396, while 1% is Hispanic.
Approximately one-eighth of DHA households house elderly residents.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders Current residents in public and other assisted housing units are most immediately in need of opportunities and supports to grow and attain a level of self-sufficiency. These supports include programs in areas such as transportation, health-related assistance, childcare, after school programs, youth and teen activities, adult education, and job training and assistance. Residents also noted needs for physical improvements in their neighborhoods, such as road repair, maintenance of existing playgrounds, and development of new parks.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The needs of public housing residents and voucher holders are different from those of the city's overall low- and moderate-income population, primarily in that these residents ae housed in stable and decent housing. With this need met, residents are able to work on other needs that families typically face in addition to housing insecurity. These other needs frequently include childcare, healthcare, employment, transportation, and food.
Discussion
In summary, public housing allows low-income households an opportunity to focus on other needs besides housing. While the VHA has a combined 2088 publicly supported units, these house less than one-fourth of the total number of households earning between 0-50% HAMFI. Housing need estimates and stakeholder input indicates that additional affordable housing resources are needed in the Vallejo.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:
This section provides estimates of the population experiencing homelessness in the region and details the needs of people experiencing homelessness in the city of Vallejo. Vallejo is part of the Housing First Vallejo/Solano County Continuum of Care. The CoC conducts an annual Point-in Time count of people homeless during the last days of January each year. The 2024 Solano County Point-in Time Count was a communitywide effort conducted on January 31, 2025. For this snapshot in time, it is estimated that there were 727 individuals either in shelters or living on the streets of Vallejo. 62 individuals were sheltered while 665 individuals were unsheltered.

If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth):
The Point-in-Time Count data from 2024 found that 1,725 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January in Solano County.
This is an increase of 546 people (46.3%) from the last full Unsheltered PIT count conducted in 2022. This year the number of people counted living unsheltered in Solano County increased by 56.1%. In 2022, Solano County counted 920 unsheltered homeless individuals while only 259 were counted in shelters. In 2024, 1,436 people were counted living unsheltered. There were also 289 people in shelters on the night of the count, an 11.6% increase from 2022.
Individuals accounted for 1,653 (95.8%) of the total homeless population. There were 72 people (4.2%) found in households with at least one adult and one child and 7 people (0.4%) in households with only children under age 18. Over the last ten years, Solano County has seen the total number of people experiencing homelessness counted during the PIT increase by 33.2% with the number of people living unsheltered increasing by 61.5%.
In Solano County, 42 of 289 people (14.5%) in shelters were determined to be chronically homeless whereas 462 of the 1,436 (32.2%) from the unsheltered count were determined to be chronically homeless. The number of people who reported experiencing chronic homelessness went up significantly in the 2024 Count

Within Solano County’s PIT count, 86 people identified as a veteran. This represents 5.0% of all adults counted on that night. There were no households or children found to be affiliated with any veterans. There were almost three times the number of veterans living unsheltered than those staying in shelter. Males made up 87.2% of the population with only 11 females total between sheltered and unsheltered groups. Within shelters, 1 veteran was determined to be chronically homeless and 27 of the unsheltered veterans were determined to be chronically homeless.
In 2024, Solano County counted 63 unaccompanied youth under 25 while in the most recent previous full PIT count in 2022, there were 66 persons under age 25. This represents a 4.5% decrease between counts. Additionally, 4.8% of unaccompanied youth were counted as under 18.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:
This section discusses the characteristics and needs of people in various subpopulations in Vallejo who are not homeless but may require supportive services, including people with HIV/AIDS, the elderly, people with disabilities (mental, physical, or developmental), people with alcohol or drug addiction, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals with a criminal record and their families.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Elderly and Frail Elderly
• Vallejo has 13,709 residents ages 65-74; of those, 4207 (30%) have a disibility. • Vallejo has 8,434 residents aged 75 and older; of those, 4127 (48.9%) have a disibility. • An estimated 17,014 (13.9%) in the city have a disibility.
People with Disabilities
The figure below shows shares of the population within Vallejo with a disability, by disability type, indicating that the most common types of disabilities are ambulatory difficulties, independent living difficulties, and cognitive difficulties.
• With hearing difficulty: 4,551 (3.7%)
• With vision difficulty: 2,656 (2.2%)
• Cognitive difficulty: 5,323 (4.7%)
• Ambulatory difficulty: 9,822 (8.6%)
• Self-care difficulty: 4,090 (3.6%)
• Independent living difficulty: 6,843 (6.9%)

• Alochol SUD: 16,663
• Stimulant SUD: 11,613
• Opioid SUD: 20,608
• Maternal SUD: 98
• Sedative SUD: 153
Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 64
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Drug Abuse SUD: 12
• Other SUD: 136
Victims of Domestic Violence
The California Department of Justice (DoJ) reports the following Domestic Violence-Related Calls for assistance in Vallejo for 2023 (more recent data is not currently available through the DoJ):
• Weapon Involved: 398
• Total Strangulation and Suffocation: 22
• Total Calls: 398
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs determined?
The primary housing and supportive needs of these subpopulations (the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, persons with alcohol or drug addiction, survivors of domestic violence) were determined by input from both service providers and the public through the housing and community needs survey, public meetings, focus groups, and stakeholder interviews.
Housing that is Affordable, Accessible, Low-Barrier, and Safe High housing costs make it difficult for populations with special needs-- who often live on very low incomes-- to afford housing. Residents with special needs often live at or below the federal poverty level. Low incomes force many residents to live in congregate care, have roommates, or live with family.
HUD's fair market rent documentation for FY 2024 HOME program rents for a two bedroom unit in the Vallejo Metro area at $1,818 per month, and a three-bedroom unit at $2,092 per month. Because of the high cost of housing, there is a need to increase the availability of affordable housing for populations with special needs. This could include options such as: smaller housing units; multifamily 'missing middle' housing (including duplexes, triplexes, quadruplexes, and other small multifamily units); accessory dwelling units; co housing with shared services; and other housing types that support increased levels of affordability. Residents and stakeholders who participated in public meetings and stakeholder interviews also discussed the need to provide support and training to increase homeownership.
Housing may be inaccessible to populations with special needs for a variety of reasons. Persons with disabilities may find that their housing options are not ada compliant, or outside of the service range for public transportation. People living with HIV/AIDS, immigrants and refugees, people with criminal histories, and other populations with special needs are often discriminated against in housing application processes. People living with HIV/AIDS have a particular need for low barrier housing that is free from requirements surrounding drug testing, sobriety, criminal background, and medical
Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 65
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
appointments. For these reasons there is a need to ensure that accessible, low barrier housing is available and to take action to reduce discrimination, such as providing fair housing services.
For the elderly and frail elderly, people with disabilities, and others that may not have access to vehicles, there is also a need for housing that is accessible to transportation, recreation, and employment. Group homes and other housing options for seniors and people with disabilities are often located away from walkable areas with access to transit. These populations need housing options that are integrated into the community to provide access to needed services and reduce social isolation. Similar to other populations with special needs, people living with HIV/AIDS need housing that provides easy access to health services, resources, and employment.
Housing that is safe and clean is another need for people with special needs. Units that are not clean or have other unhealthy conditions can worsen health issues for people who are already vulnerable.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:
As of 2022, there were approximately 1,446 people living with HIV in Solano County, 1% with a rate of 322.1. Seventy (70) new cases were diagnosed in 2020, a rate of 1.4% rate of 15.6 per 100,000 population.
If the PJ will establish a preference for a HOME TBRA activity for persons with a specific category of disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness), describe their unmet need for housing and services needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2) (ii)) There will not be a preference for persons with specific disabilities, however there will be a preference for homeless individuals, including those with disabilities.
Discussion:
High housing costs make it difficult for populations with special needs-- who often live on very low incomes-- to afford housing. Residents with special needs often live at or below the federal poverty level. Low incomes force many residents to live in congregate care, have roommates, or live with family. HUD's fair market rent documentation for FY 2024 HOME program rents for a two bedroom unit in the Vallejo Metro area at $1,818 per month, and a three-bedroom unit at $2,092 per month.

Residents and stakeholders who participated in public meetings and stakeholder interviews also discussed the need to provide support and training to increase homeownership And to support housing rehabilitation for low-income homeowners.

Specialized housing is often needed to target needs of specific populations, although the housing first model emphasizes that support services should not be required in order for people to access housing.
People with intellectual or developmental disabilities, people living with HIV/AIDS, and people with alcohol or drug addiction have specific housing needs that may be addressed through housing with wrap around services, such as case management, life skills, programming, and health services.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? This housing affordability data, when supplemented with cost burden data displayed in Sections NA-25 and NA-30, reveals a deficit in affordable housing stock across income levels.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
Affordability is likely to decrease as home values in the area rise and demand increases. This may affect both renters and those seeking to purchase a home.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The current Fair Market Rents (FMR) for the Vallejo-Fairfield area are as follows:
• Studio: $1652
• 1-Bedroom: $1852
• 2-Bedroom: $2308
• 3-Bedroom: $3199
• 4-Bedroom: $3643
The Area Median Rents for the Vallejo-Fairfield area are as follows:
• Studio: $1877
• 1-Bedroom: $2062
• 2-Bedroom: $2634
• 3-Bedroom: $3519
• 4-Bedroom: $3987
As demonstrated above, area median rents in the City exceed the current Fair Market Rents. The City will prioritize developing permanent supportive housing and revitalizing the current stock of housing to support community members.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The Area Median Rents already exceed the current significantly higher HOME rents/Fair Market Rents for the area. This trend is expected to continue and become more prevalent throughout the term of this Consolidated Plan. The City will prioritize funding for a homeownership program and rehabilitation for low-income homeowners. The City will also continue to support community partners that provide public services involving fair housing services for community members.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":
Similarly, Vallejo defines substandard housing as having at least one of the following conditions:
1. Physical defects such as lack of complete plumbing (i.e., no usable flush toilet or piped water)
2. Lack of complete kitchen facilies such as an installed sink with piped water or a refrigeratior or fors not have electricity or a safe source of heat.
3. Is overcrowded, with more than one person per room.
4. Meets the definition of Cost Burden (paying more than 30% of household income for housing expenses, or severe cost burden (paying more than 50%)).
Housing with a "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation" must be structurally or financially feasible. Vallejo will provide rehab assistance to address health and safety items and install weatherizaion measures even if a substandard condition exists. However, homes that need reconstruction are not suitable for the Rehab Program.

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards
53% of owner-occupied units and 63% of renter-occupied units were built before 1980, respectively.
These units run the risk of containing lead-based paint hazards.
Discussion
Housing units built prior to 1980 may contain lead-based paint in portions of the home (window and door frames, walls, ceilings, etc.) or throughout the entire home. Housing units built before 1980 have a risk of lead-based paint hazards and should be tested in accordance with HUD standards. According to 2023 ACS data, there are 24,875 housing units in Vallejo that were built prior to 1980 and are therefore
Consolidated Plan VALLEJO 76
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
at-risk of lead-based paint hazards. There are 1,290 units with children. These risks increase as the housing units age and if the rehabilitation needs are not met. Testing for lead-based paint and the repair, if needed, is another added cost for home rehabilitation, there is a large amount of housing units built before 1980 that would benefit in getting tested.

Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the extent those services are use to complement services targeted to homeless persons Two non-profit agencies in the City of Vallejo provide and coordinate a variety of supportive services for homeless individuals and families, and at-risk homeless persons. They are: (1) the Global Center for Success on Mare Island, established in 2005, which served over 200 unduplicated persons in 2024; and (2) Catholic Charities of Yolo-Solano which, through its Family Assistance Program, served over 500 temporarily homeless and at-risk homeless persons in 2024.
List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations.
There is currently one emergency family shelter in Vallejo, the Christian Help Center, with 85 beds: 21 for single men, and 64 for women and their children. Renaissance Family Center is the only transitional family shelter, (24 beds). Safe quest Solano operates the only domestic violence shelter, for women and their children, (eighteen beds). The House of Acts operates in Vallejo; two of their facilities are an eight bed sober living residency for men, and an eight-bed house for women, both located in South Vallejo. Bi- Bett Corporation provides five emergency beds for adults in recovery from substance abuse (detox), and 30 beds of permanent sober living residency ("stage two housing"), for women and their children, and for single men, at two different facilities. His Lord's Fellowship provides twelve total transitional beds for single men, at two different locations.
The completion of the Homeless Navigation Center will add 125 new transitional housing beds to Vallejo's stock. The completion on Broadway Village will add 47 new Permanent Supportive Housing beds to the community. Both of these projects are anticipated to be completed in Q2 of 2025.

Community Action Partnership of Solano Joint Powers Authority (CAP Solano JPA) – a combined governmental agency that coordinates efforts across Solano County to reduce poverty and homelessness – commissioned the development of a 5-Year Regional Plan to Respond to Homelessness in Solano County at the direction of the County and Cities that make up CAP Solano JPA. The decision to develop a regional Strategic Plan was a collective one made by the jurisdictions, who came to realize that a regional approach was necessary to effectively respond to homelessness both immediately and in the long-term. The decision to collaborate on a regional plan was an unprecedented and significant step in Solano County. It represents a major victory for CAP Solano JPA and all the jurisdictions, and has the potential to transform how homelessness is addressed in Solano County.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment According to the updated Housing Element (2023-31),
The building permit review and approval process can affect housing costs. Lengthy processing of development applications can add to construction costs. Expediting review of developments that will offer lower- and moderate-income housing could be an incentive. Normally, building permit approval of single-family or duplex housing units in an area zoned for Residential Low Density housing development requires the approval from the Planning Division, the Building Division, Fire Prevention, Water Department, Public Works, and from the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District, none of which require public hearings, and would typically take 10 to 12 weeks, assuming no special site or environmental conditions requiring additional mitigation or study. Normally, construction of a multifamily housing complex in an appropriately zoned area would follow the same regulatory approval process and timeline.

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.
Current economy allows for more employment opportunities for individuals with less skills. This results in individuals not investing in skill upgrades. During less successful economic time periods the skill upgrades are necessary for the individuals to be considered or maintained in employment.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The City has been challenged in recent years in its efforts to provide more job opportunities to its residents, as a high percentage of the workforce has historically commuted outside of Vallejo to work. City Economic Development staff and its partners will continue to work on the re-use and development of Mare Island.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
The VHA shares information with appropriate agencies and service providers, and targets supportive services where possible, on behalf of Housing Authority clients who are participating in the FSS Program. This will assist the Consolidated Plan's efforts to support programs and activities that enhance family functioning, skill development, and educational opportunities for children, young adults, and parents.

Discussion
There is a critical need for employment training within the City, with a strategic focus on both hard and soft skills. Enhancing the skill set of the local workforce will contribute to greater social mobility while also reducing the disparity between the available job market and the labor force. Investing in comprehensive training programs will strengthen the economic landscape, ensuring that individuals are better equipped to meet the demands of employers and drive long-term workforce development.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
HUD defines four types of housing problems: (1) cost burden of more than 30%, (2) more than 1 person per room, (3) lack of complete kitchen facilities, and (4) lack of complete plumbing facilities. The HUD provided map shows the share of households within each census tract that have at least one of these housing problems.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") The City defines "area of racial and ethnic minority concentration" as any Census Tract or Block Group in Vallejo with a non-White population that is over 70 percent. There are certain 2010 Census Tracts and Block Groups in Vallejo where racial or ethnic minorities are concentrated, and which are located in CDBG neighborhood target areas. They are:
(1) the Florida-Hilton neighborhood in East Vallejo (Census Tract 2503, Block Group 2, which is 52.85 percent at 0 to 80 percent AMI); and
(2) Census Tract 2507.01, Block Group 2, in South Vallejo, which is 63.51 percent at 0 to 80 percent AMI.
Census Tract 2519.02, Block Group 2, known as College Park in North Vallejo, and which is 69.72 percent at 0 to 80 percent is not in a CDBG neighborhood target area.
One reason that a large concentration of non-Whites reside in Florida-Hilton and College Park is historic redlining by lending institutions, which predated the implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), and other fair housing and equal opportunity laws and regulations What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? There is a strong connection between higher poverty areas, access to quality schools, and access to the labor market. There are few if any major employers, e. g., no large food shopping stores, located in Vallejo's CDBG neighborhood target areas, where disinvestment has occurred.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The Nimitz Group is now the controlling entity for development on Mare Island. They have retained the Southern Land Company to help transform the entire island from its former life as a naval shipyard into a vibrant mixed-use community that will include its historic core, a waterfront promenade with retail &

entertainment, and homes. Today, more than 100 businesses occupy millions of square feet on the island and employ more than 3,000 workers. There is an existing inventory of dozens of buildings representing millions of square feet of space. Mare Island has office and industrial spaces to meet almost any commercial need. Targeted industries for this commercial district include high-tech and biotech, as well as heavy industrial, light manufacturing, medical, professional and administrative companies. Additionally, with ample berth and dry dock areas, Mare Island is equipped to accommodate a wide variety of maritime uses.
The City will use its CDBG Program, HOME Program, to support neighborhood revitalization projects in neighborhood target areas, when opportunities are present.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate-Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.
While nearly all of Vallejo has access to some form of residential broadband service, analysis found that investment in networks—specifically, fiber networks—has not occurred consistently throughout Vallejo.
The near ubiquity of cable and DSL means that most residents have connectivity, but only select areas of the City have fiber as a competitive wireline broadband option. This lack of competitive alternatives for high-speed broadband is increasingly impactful as symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wireline service, offered most reliably over a fiber network, emerges as a de facto standard to fully participate in today’s digital world increasingly impactful as symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wireline service, offered most reliably over a fiber network, emerges as a de facto standard to fully participate in today’s digital world.
This update to the City of Vallejo’s Broadband Master Plan (originally prepared in 2016 by the City’s independent broadband consultants, CTC Technology & Energy) addresses broadband in the City of Vallejo through the lens of digital equity. To prepare this update, CTC analyzed the current state of reliable high-speed internet connections in the City in terms of access to infrastructure, affordability, access to devices, digital literacy, and training. Those data and insights informed the development of actionable recommendations, including identification of potential federal and State funding sources that might enable Vallejo to address its community’s needs.
Closing the digital divide: recommending opportunities to develop community resources to help all Vallejo residents connect to the internet via comparable, high-speed connections.
Increasing competition: helping the City to utilize existing resources and encourage new partnerships to bring more internet service providers’ (ISP) networks and services to the City.
Maximizing the use of City assets: recognizing the work the City has already accomplished over the past five years and building on that work to ensure that City assets (e.g., data connections to municipal facilities, municipal fiber routes, and existing conduit) are part of a comprehensive connectivity strategy.
