February 2026
I. PDS Department Overview
The Planning & Development Services Department (PDS) includes the Code Enforcement, Building, and Planning divisions.

Some high-level department-wide accomplishments from 2025, include the following:

1. Implementation of the new Tobacco Retail License (TRL) program (see page 9 below for additional details).

2. Ramp up of the Vacant Real Property Registration Program, including the addition of vacant commercial buildings to the program (previously authorized by the City Council in 2020, but not implemented until 2025) and limited enforcement of existing cases (see page 10 for additional details below).

3. Created new Mills Act monitoring documentation for the existing 19 properties currently in contract (individual contract auditing will begin in 2026).

4. Streamlined ADU process in compliance with State law, published an ADU mini-guide with step-by-step instructions to help homeowners navigate the process, and created a new ‘Housing Development Resource’ page on the City website to provide information on different housing regulations.

5. Approved all entitlements for the Rollingwood Subdivision, which includes 131 new detached, market-rate, single-family dwelling units.

6. Completed 1st phase of Zoning Code language clean ups.

7. Received and reviewed 1st draft of the new proposed Mare Island Specific Plan.

8. Released RFPs to solicit consultant proposals to lead both grant funded Downtown and Waterfront Specific Plans.

9. Adopted new 2025 Building Code.

10. Reduced general customer inquiry response times and building permit turnaround times from a high of 10+ days and 30+ days to 1-2 days and 20 business days (respectively).

11. Building Division team members collectively achieved 6 new International Code Council (ICC) Certifications during 2025, further growing the knowledge base of the team.

Staffing Updates:

o The Code Enforcement Division on-boarded three (3) new Code Officers and one (1) new Secretary during 2025. During this same time, the Division also lost three (3) Code Officers, plus the Division Manager retired. This resulted in a 27%

3 PDS 2025 Year End Summary
February 2026
vacancy rate (3 vacancies out of 11 positions) at the end of the calendar year.  Currently there is one conditional offer in background check to replace one of the vacant Code Officer positions, and recruitment for the Division Manager position is scheduled to start by the end of Q1 2026. If these two roles are filled, there will only be one vacancy left for the Division to fill in 2026 (assuming no other turnover). o The Building Division on-boarded four (4) new staff members during 2025, including three inspectors and one permit technician; however, the Division also lost the new permit technician shortly after they were hired, and the Development Permit Coordinator retired at the end of the year. These changes resulted in a 33% vacancy rate (4 vacancies out of 12 positions) at the end of the calendar year.
 As of February 2026, the Division replaced the vacant Permit Technician role, bringing the vacancy down 25%; however, the other vacant positions have continued to present a recruitment challenge. To address this, Staff has been working with Human Resources to make some position adjustments to better meet the Division needs.  Near the end of 2025, the Plan Check Engineer position was converted to a Plans Examiner role with different minimum qualification requirements. Recruitment for this position is planned to begin in March 2026.  The Building Inspection Manager job description is proposed for minor modification to better clarify the role’s duties. This is currently in process and if approved, will go to recruitment shortly thereafter.  The Development Permit Coordinator position is pending a re-classification review to better facilitate permit technician/front counter management. This is currently in process and if approved, will go to recruitment shortly thereafter.
o Current staffing levels for the whole department, as of February 2026, are shown in the table below:

Permit Counter Interactions:

This chart below illustrates the volume of in-person visits that the PDS Department has seen on a weekly basis during the 2025 calendar year, as tracked by the ‘QLess’ front counter management system. As shown below, the Building Division typically sees the highest volumes of in-person customers with totals ranging from 11 to 60 interactions per week. The Planning Division typically sees about half this amount with ranges from 6 to 21 interactions per week.

It should be noted that the “open” hours for City Hall (including front counter hours for the PDS counter) were extended as of Monday, October 6th to include an earlier opening, a later close, and “open” hours every other Friday. Looking at the chart, there was a small spike in visits during that first week of additional hours; however, the visit volumes seemed to have leveled out after that, as compared to the rest of the year. Friday visit totals have been minimal, ranging from 2 to 13 visitors each day during Q3 for 2025.

It’s also important to note that the front counter data above only provides a partial picture of the larger department’s customer service interactions, as it does not include online submittals, email or phone inquiries, nor does it include average response times related to these interactions/inquiries.

II. Code Enforcement Division
During 2025, the Code Enforcement Division opened a
total of 3183 cases and resolved a total of 3032 cases, which is very close to the totals from the prior year.
• Starting in 2025, enforcement efforts under the
Zoning Violation (“ZV”) case type were expanded to
include all zoning enforcement, such as unpermitted
businesses, business activities, signs, fences, etc.

Code Officers are now managing these case types
with assistance from planners.
• The Property Registration/Vacant Lot program
(“PR/VL”) was minimally maintained in 2024, with no
citations issued or monthly monitoring done. During
2025, new registrations doubled and monthly
monitoring was conducted sporadically (this has
been impacted by staffing resource limitations).

Enforcement of vacant commercial buildings
(included in “PR” totals) began in 2025.
• Vehicle abatement year end totals are down from
2024 due to process modifications required by the
City Attorney’s office and an extended period of time
without CLETS access (since the Division
transferred from the Police Department in February
2023).

February 2026

This chart illustrates the workload volume for Code Officers throughout the year, with total open cases worked each month compared to the total number of closed/resolved cases. The additional green line, showing the total citations issued each month, helps to provide some insight into the rate of voluntary compliance (compliance achieved before citations issued) that the division is seeing. This metric is not easy to track due to all the variables; however, the data tracked indicates that the voluntary compliance rate for the ‘closed cases’ each month during 2025, ranged from 79% to 93%. Additional detailed information supporting the chart above is included on the next page for reference. 0 50

Code Enforcement, Special Programs/Assignments
o Free Neighborhood Dumpster Program
The Free Neighborhood Dumpster Program is administered by Code Enforcement in partnership with Recology Vallejo and it is intended to assist residents with the lawful disposal of excess household debris. The program provides a total of 150 dumpsters that may be utilized each fiscal year (based on Recology’s fiscal year, which runs from Oct 1 to Sept 30) , or approximately 12.5 dumpsters each month. The table below shows how many dumpsters have been used during each month, compared to the total allocation. For the 24-25 fiscal year , the Division was only able to utilize 56% of the dumpsters available. During the second half of 2025, staff made efforts to advertise the program on the City’s website and through various social media channels. This effort appears to have been effective since utilization for the last quarter of 2025 (Oct-Dec) has tracked higher than in the previous year.

o V-FOG (Graffiti Abatement Program)
The Vallejo-Free of Graffiti (V -FOG) Program is a collaborative effort between Code Enforcement and the Public Works Department - Maintenance Division to address graffiti vandalism on private residential properties. The program involves either a referral from Code Enforcement Officers for property owners to enter into an agreement with the City, allowing Public Works maintenance crews to abate graffiti on private property, or victims of graffiti vandalism may utilize the program by submitting the V-FOG consent form directly to Code Enforcement . During the 2025 calendar year, Code Enforcement was able to execute agreements with 17 property owners to allow for graffiti abatement under the program.

9 PDS 2025 Year End Summary
February 2026
o Tobacco Retail License (TRL) Enforcement
The TRL Program implements the newly adopted requirements of Chapter 5.10 of the Vallejo Municipal Code (VMC). The program became effective February 7, 2025 , and initial implementation work involved retailer outreach, education, and processing of initial license application requests received during a limited application window (which closed on May 8, 2025). As of August 2025, a total of 71 TRL applications have been approved/issued. While initial license applications were processed by the Planning Division, the Code Enforcement Division will be responsible for ongoing TRL program management, including annual license inspection s and enforcement on any establishment s or individuals that may be selling tobacco products in violation of the code.

Initial TRL enforcement efforts began in September 2025, with inspections conducted for all known retailers who did not obtain a required TRL license. This first enforcement phase included visits to 54 potential unlicensed retailers, after which it was discovered that 18 were operating in violation of the VMC. Reinspections were conducted in December, and of those 18 only 10 were found to still be in violation . During December inspections, Cease & Desist letters were issued to the 10 remaining violators. Follow-up enforcement for the non -compliant retailers is currently active and ongoing and expected to continue into 2026.
o Sidewalk Vending, Peddling & Solicitation Enforcement The ‘Sidewalk Vending, Peddling, and Solicitation ’ enforcement program was also established in early 2025, to regulate sidewalk vendors, roaming and stationary vending activities, peddlers, and solicitors operating within the city on public rights-of-way (ROW) only. This program was originally intended to be run by Public Works; however, Code Enforcement and Planning have taken the lead on implementation and enforcement. Implementation activities during 2025 were limited to education and public outreach onl y (due to limited staffing and various staffing transitions). No citations were issued in 2025; however, a new citation process is in development and enforcement efforts are expected to increase in 2026 in coordination with Solano County Environmental Health Department.

10 PDS 2025 Year End Summary
February 2026

o Vacant Real Property Registration Program
In 2013, the City established a vacant residential building registration program to monitor and enforce certain property maintenance standards, as a way of reducing and preventing vacant building-related blight. In 2020, the program was expanded to include vacant lots and vacant commercial buildings (and is now known as the “Vacant Real Property Registration Program”); however, after the approved expansion, only the vacant lot portion of the program was immediately implemented. In the most recent previous years (including 2022, 2023 & 2024), the overall program was not consistently tracked/maintained due to insufficient staffing.

Over this past year, as staffing levels began to
rebound, program monitoring was ramped up and
implementation of the vacant commercial building
portion of the 2020 ordinance officially began.

During the 2025 calendar year, a total of 241 vacant
building registrations (including both residential and
commercial) were opened, and 92 vacant lot
registrations were opened, totaling 333 new
properties in the program (which is double the
number of new registrations from 2024).

During the second half of 2025, the program was audited internally to clear up past registrants that were not consistently tracked. This work resulted in a total new active program participant count of 346 properties as of the end of 2025, and annual renewal notices were sent out to all 346 participants before the end of December (registration renewal payments expected to be received in the first quarter of 2026).

It should be noted, that following the internal audit done in 2025, the program is expected to continue with consistent tracking of regular annual renewals; however, monthly monitoring tracking activities will be done as time permits throughout the year, unless additional staffing support is authorized as requested during the mid-year budget process.

11 PDS 2025 Year End Summary
February 2026
o Public Meeting Attendance/Participation
An important component of the Code Enforcement Officer’s role is being accessible and visible to the public, engaging with the community (both residents and the business community), and being able to respond to questions/concerns in a timely manner. One way to achieve this is through regular public meeting participation, which is a metric that the Division started tracking in 2025. As shown in the table below, during the 2025 calendar year, Code Enforcement Officers were able to attend/participate in a total of 30 public meetings. *Other Events Include:
**Neighborhood Watch & Business Watch meetings were consolidated in December 3/18/25, TRL Workshop #1

III. Building Division
The table below shows a year end comparison of various building permit activity totals for 2025, compared to the previous year.

During 2025, the Building Division issued a total of 3,705 permits (which is an average of 309 permits per month) and 11,430 inspections were completed (average of 952 inspections per month). The ‘monthly average’ numbers for these activities provide insight into the regular volume of work being done within the division.

While the total permit count for 2025 (3,705 issued permits) is slightly lower than the 2024 total (4,116 issued permits), it should be noted that the total job valuation for those permits was much higher in 2025, and the total fees collected was significantly higher was well (over $1 million more collected than in 2024).

Total Solar and Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permits issued were also down from 2024, even though staff took additional efforts to streamline processes for both permit types. Streamlining activities in 2025 included:

o Mills Act
There are currently 19 active Mills Act contracts for historic properties within the City of Vallejo. No new Mills Act contract applications were received in 2025. However, during this past year Planning staff initiated a new annual auditing process to better track Mills Act compliance. Existing contract holders were notified of the new process in mid-2025, and in December 2025, formal audit letters were sent to all 19 active contracts, with responses due during the first quarter of 2026.

Long-Range Planning Activities:

o Downtown & Waterfront Specific Plans

These two projects involve comprehensive updates to the 2005 Downtown Vallejo Specific Plan (DVSP) and the 2005 Vallejo Waterfront Planned Development Master Plan (WPDMP) and Design Guidelines. These specific plan updates are fully grant funded and are intended to address land use, mobility, infrastructure, housing, equity, economic development, and environmental sustainability for these two very important planning areas in compliance with state statutes, CEQA, and MTC’s Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Policy. At buildout, the DVSP planning area is likely to accommodate approximately 1,100 new housing units, and the WPDMP planning area is likely to accommodate approximately 2,300 new housing units.

During 2025, the City executed all required master funding agreements for the $2.4 million in grant funds forthcoming, and staff drafted Request for Proposals (RFPs) to solicit consultant teams to lead the work for both plan updates. The

18 PDS 2025 Year End Summary
February 2026
RFPs were released on October 27, 2025, and in December 2025, the city received proposals from seven well qualified firms. It is expected that consultant selections will be made by mid-March, and consultant agreements will go to City Council for consideration in early April 2026.

o Housing Element Program F 1.1.3 – Renter Protections and Housing Stability

During 2025, the City advanced implementation of Program F 1.1.3 through modification of the two previously secured One Bay Area Grants (OBAG 3) totaling approximately $2.4 million, to update the Downtown Vallejo and Waterfront Specific Plans (see above for more details on those plans). The grant adjustments authorized in 2025, will allow for initial consultant-led tasks to include city-wide community engagement and feasibility analysis work in support of potential renter protection provisions and housing stability policies. The feasibility analysis and community engagement work (planned to begin by May 2026) will inform the draft ordinances, which will be prepared separate from the Specific Plan process and which will incorporate a suite of potential anti-displacement policies including rent stabilization, just-cause eviction protections, tenant anti-harassment measures, and tenant right to counsel provisions, as detailed by Housing Element Program F 1.1.3. Although the initial timeframe for the first phase of this work (including “rent stabilization and just cause for eviction protections ordinances”) has not been met, the City does have a plan to complete the work during the 2026 calendar year.

o Mare Island Specific Plan & DDA Status

 Mare Island Company (MIC) North Mare Island Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA)

The Draft Mare Island Specific Plan (MISP) was submitted to the City in October 2024 (on schedule), and staff completed a preliminary review in April 2025, resulting in an initial set of City comments. The City retained the Good City Company to conduct a peer review of the Specific Plan and to expand upon the City’s preliminary comments based on its independent technical analysis. The City transmitted its formal comment letter to Mare Island Company on February 7, 2026, along with a request for preparation of a second draft MISP.

Separately, the City retained Stantec to prepare the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), including any additional environmental documentation required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The environmental

review process is advancing, with release of the Notice of Preparation (NOP) anticipated in August 2026, followed by a public scoping meeting.

 Beautification Plan

MIC submitted preliminary plan to City in June 2023, and then detailed design drawings in April 2024. Comments were submitted to MIC on the drawings, and the plans were resubmitted thereafter. The second plan review is still pending and is expected to be approved in Q2 2026, in a phased manner subject to timing of completion of remaining Navy cleanup project on North Mare Island.

 Connolly Corridor

MIC submitted a Preliminary Review application to the city for Phase 1 in September 2024. Phase I includes a mix of food and beverage, retail, and open space along the waterfront promenade and coal sheds area. Challenges with Vallejo Flood and Waste District are currently being worked on to ensure the project can move forward successfully.

o General Plan Amendments to Address Environmental Justice (EJ)

This work is intended to facilitate integration of EJ policies and actions into the overall General Plan, in compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1000, which requires cities to address the needs of disadvantaged communities by promoting equitable access to resources, improving public health outcomes, and reducing environmental burdens. Work on this project initially began in early 2022, but was stalled in 2024, in order to reallocate staffing resources for completion of the required Housing Element Update. During 2025, the project was picked up again and a full administrative draft of the proposed General Plan amendments has been completed and is currently undergoing internal review by City Staff. Next steps include finalizing the administrative draft and then releasing for a 30- to 45-day public review period, before taking the items to Planning Commission and City Council for consideration.

o Inclusionary Housing Ordinance & Commercial Linkage Fee

This exploratory project began in 2023, to evaluate the feasibility of adopting an inclusionary housing ordinance and/or commercial linkage fee in Vallejo, including an analysis of in-lieu fee options. The study was conducted as required by Housing Element Program B 2.1.1, to assess market conditions, development economics, and policy alternatives to determine appropriate inclusionary requirements and fee structures that could support affordable housing production while maintaining development viability. The initial findings of the study indicated that such policies would negatively impact development viability, and as such, the work was placed on hold. In 2025, the work was picked up again and the analyses were refreshed. Unfortunately, the findings related to feasibility were unchanged.

In July 2025, and again in November 2025, Staff presented the preliminary findings of the consultant prepared studies to both the Planning Commission and the City Council. The studies concluded that the development prototypes analyzed are not currently financially feasible, even prior to the application of affordability requirements or additional impact fees.

At the November 24, 2025, joint meeting, the Planning Commission and City Council directed staff to proceed with drafting ordinances to establish inclusionary housing requirements and a commercial linkage fee. Since December 2025, staff has been working directly with the City Attorney’s Office to review inclusionary housing regulations from other jurisdictions and begin drafting an ordinance with policy options for future consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council. Staff anticipates this work to be completed during the second half of 2026, with a draft ordinance presented to decision makers by the fourth quarter of 2026.

o Other Updates

During 2025, long-range Planning Staff continued to participate in a variety of regional planning initiatives, including:

 Solano Bayshore Resilience Project
 Solano County Agricultural Initiative
 Solano-Napa North Bay Passenger Rail Feasibility Study  WETA & City of Vallejo Ferry Terminal Action Plan

accessibility, clarify connections between bus and ferry services, and enhance the rider experience. The project will also address outdated and inconsistent signage, improve ADA-accessible pathways, and coordinate with local
improvements such as the Vallejo Mobility Hub project.

Lessons learned from the pilot will inform a broader regional rollout of wayfinding standards.

In Progress A draft pilot sign placement strategy was shared for stakeholder review in August 2025, outlining proposed
locations and typologies for bus, ferry, pedestrian, and vehicular wayfinding signs. City staff participated in a March 2025 site visit to inform project recommendations and reviewed Nelson\Nygaard’s draft recommendations
with Public Works staff, providing consolidated
comments in August 2025. Stakeholders - including the
City of Vallejo, SolTrans, the Solano Transportation
Authority (STA), and the Napa Valley Transportation
Authority (NVTA) - are currently providing feedback on
design coordination, ADA accessibility, and integration with concurrent projects. Next steps include final design refinements, permitting, and fabrication in 2026, with
staff supporting pilot project implementation by Public Works as needed..

Ferry Terminal Access Plan This project, led by the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) in partnership with the City of Vallejo, will evaluate and improve multimodal access to the Vallejo Ferry Terminal and adjacent Transit Center. The plan will analyze existing walking, biking, transit, and driving conditions within a two-mile radius of the terminal, identify gaps and barriers in the first/last mile network, and propose infrastructure and programmatic improvements that enhance safety,
connectivity, and the overall passenger experience. Key components include a Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) and
walk/bike shed analysis, review of existing plans and projects, development of access improvement strategies, and robust public and stakeholder engagement. The plan will also
include cost estimates, funding strategies, and an
implementation program to prioritize both quick-build and long- term projects. Findings will support WETA, the City, and regional partners in aligning future access improvements with upcoming planning efforts, including the Downtown and
Waterfront Specific Plans and MTC’s Transit-Oriented
Communities (TOC) policy.

In Progress WETA retained Fehr & Peers to prepare the study, with work initiated in August 2025. The consultant team is
currently conducting an existing conditions analysis,
including data collection, field visits, and walk/bike shed mapping. City staff has actively participated in weekly project check-in meetings with project partners,
reviewed and provided comments on the draft existing
conditions chapter, and promoted the project website
through the Vallejo Weekly and the City’s email
distribution lists. The project website is currently
collecting community input through an interactive map
feature. Next steps include continued participation in
weekly project and stakeholder meetings, initiation of
stakeholder engagement and public outreach, and
review of draft work products as the project advances
toward preparation of a draft plan in 2026.

Revolving Loan Fund The City Council had previously approved a contract with Solano Economic Development Corporation (EDC) to use $355,000 of Vallejo’s ARPA money to establish a new revolving loan fund for local businesses that would operate from 12/31/24 through 12/31/26, the deadline for expending the ARPA funds. The Solano EDC promoted the program at a variety of outreach events, submitted referrals to Solano/Napa Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and worked with Travis Credit Union to process applications.

During 2025, two (2) loans were approved for a total of $100,000. Another loan was approved in February 2026 for $125,000 bringing the total funds expended to date to $225,000. Solano EDC currently has four applications pending and is confident it will be able to spend down the remaining ARPA funds by the 12/31/26 deadline. IV. Pop-Up Events The RFP for this program ($34,000 in the first year) was drafted in 2025 and released on 1/7/26. Staff received 10 proposals, will be interviewing the finalists in March and requesting some additional funds in the midyear budget. V. Shop Local Campaign Staff drafted a $28,000 Shop Local Campaign RFP in late 2025 and the Economic Development Commission (EDC) provided input on the scope of work at its 1/14/26 meeting. Staff has incorporated that feedback and will be posting it in late February or early March. A strong response is expected given staff outreach and what was just experienced with the Pop-Up Events RFP. Program implementation is set for Q2 of 2026. VI. Hardening Grants Program The City Council allocated $125,000 for Round 3 of the Hardening Grants program in mid-year 2025. These funds were meant to reimburse small businesses that suffered negative impacts and submitted receipts for security improvements. Grants were awarded to 17 Vallejo small businesses in amounts up to $3,000. VII. Development Projects – Southern Waterfront (PG&E site) In 2025, PG&E substantially completed the environmental clean-up of its 26-acre site (former Manufactured Gas Plant) on the city’s Southern Waterfront. The soil remediation work is done and the Boat Launch Parking Lot (including new asphalt, lighting, public rest rooms) was 90% complete at the end of the year. Remaining items include handrails along the access walkways, electrical and EV charging infrastructure, removal of equipment and a general clean-up of the area. 4 To allow the restoration work to occur safely, the site was closed to the public during the clean-up and under surveillance until construction is completed – targeted for 3/2026. PG&E will be responsible for environmental monitoring for two years after the property is conveyed to the city once the project is completed. City staff and City Council members participated in PG&E led site tours in February. VIII. Development Projects – Blue Rock Springs/Golf Course During the past year, the Lewis Group held multiple public outreach meetings (1/15/25, 6/4/25, 6/18/25 and 10/15/25) with a collaboration team including representatives from the golfing community, GVRD, the City of Vallejo and two members at large. On 8/26/25, the Lewis Group held an outreach meeting to provide the community with an opportunity to learn more about its revised, updated project concepts, ask questions and provide comments. Three concepts were presented to the City Council on 9/9/25 and the one selected included a new clubhouse/event center with a 350 person capacity, the ability to increase that capacity to 500, golf course restoration and driving range modifications on the East Course, golf programming on the West Course, and the construction of 600 homes. IX. Development Projects – Costco/Fairview at Northgate Major components included: Ø Costco store with tire center, gasoline sales, and 774 parking spaces: Ø A commercial center with four buildings totaling 27,500 sq. ft. including a drive-through restaurant and 188 surface parking spaces. Ø Initial proposal included 178 two-story single-family dwellings. Developer hasasked to increase residential component. X. Development Projects – Mare Island The Economic Development (ED) Department continued working with Mare Island Company (MIC), the Department of the Navy, the State Lands Commission, Lennar Mare Island and other key stakeholders on a variety of development agreements, land transfers and clean-up efforts including: • Mare Island Development Agreement (DA). Facility Agreement and Master Sublease Agreement. In 2005, staff commenced negotiations with Mare Island Company (MIC) on a new Mare Island DA to cover both the South and North Island and a master sublease for approximately 131 acres of public trust parcels that are part of MIC’s current DA. • MIC Reimbursement Agreement. To alleviate city costs on the above projects, staff commenced negotiations with MIC on a new reimbursement agreement to cover the above agreements (DA, Facility Agreement and Master Sublease) as they were not included in the 2022 North Mare Island Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA). 5 • State Lands Public Trust Termination Agreement. ED staff successfully negotiated the release of State public trust land claims with State Lands Commission via a draft patent for over 300 acres of land on Mare Island, thereby removing a cloud on the title. This agreement is under final review with State Lands and is anticipated to be signed and recorded by the State in mid-2026. • Island Energy Gas and Electric Operations Agreement In March 2025, the City of Vallejo and City of Pittsburgh (Island Energy) executed the first amendments to the agreements for the operation of gas and electricity to Mare Island that were to expire March 1. 2025. The amendments extended the terms one-year and included a 6-month extension option that was exercised in early 2026, extending the expiration date to 8/31/26. • Environmental Cleanup. Staff continues to oversee Lennar Mare Island (LMI) and Navy environmental cleanup projects focusing on the properties to be conveyed or leased to the City. o The Navy has 17 remaining cleanup sites in various stages of cleanup covering approximately 800 acres on Mare Island plus 400 acres of submerged lands. Anticipated completion is 2030. o LMI recently completed the environmental cleanup of the Eastern Early Transfer Parcel (EETP), a project started in 2001 consisting of 14 Investigation Areas (IA), 854 cleanup sites and 650 acres of residential and commercial/industrial lands. ED staff oversees this project and has coordinated the approval of over $100M in disbursements of Navy grant funds to pay for this remediation work (using Navy funds). Staff continues to handle the disbursements and is preparing for a Navy audit of this grant anticipated for some time in 2026. • U.S. Economic Development Administration Mare Island Infrastructure Assessment (MIIA) project. The MIIA report was completed on 10/20/25 and presented to City Council during its 11/4/25 meeting (it’s live on City’s website). City Council recommendations were incorporated as feasible within consultant’s contracted budget and the remaining requests for providing cost estimates will be produced through future report updates, which include additional sewer and sea level rise assessment. Total project cost: $2,082,292 – EDA portion ($1,515,927), Mare Island Co. ($326,365), City/VFWD in-kind staff time ($240,000). Expended all funds within grant timelines (4 years) and now working on grant close out. • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency $600,000 Brownfield Cleanup Grant (2021).

City secured a second EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant in the amount of $500,000 during Fall 2025. Grant has 4-year implementation period. City is targeting environmental assessment of at least 10 sites on Mare Island, Southern Waterfront and other areas. This grant includes a more robust community engagement component than 2021 grant. 6 • Rehabilitation of Quarter’s A Mansion and Chapel on Mare Island. Staff worked with Public Works Department CIP team on management of two separate grants for facility improvement to Quarter’s A and the Mare Island Chapel. • o U.S. National Park Service (NPS): Quarter’s A Rehabilitation ($1.5M/City 50% local match) § Project focused on an earthquake retrofit and ADA upgrades to the building. § Architecture firm selected for design work. § Plan/Building/Environmental review underway. § Expect to go out to bid for construction in late Spring 2026. o U.S. Dept of Housing & Urban Development (HUD): Quarter’s A and Chapel Rehabilitation ($1.2M/No local match) § Staff working in collaboration with Mare Island Historic Park Foundation, the City’s tenant of these two buildings, who was awarded this grant. § Plan/Building/Environmental review underway; design development at 60% § Expect to go out to bid for construction in late Spring 2026, combining NPS and HUD grants into a single bid to achieve cost savings. § Collaborating with Mare Island Historic Park Foundation: they were awarded the HUD grant in 2022. XI. Land Disposition and Acquisition – Mare Island Navy Land Transfers. To ensure the City understands the costs and benefits associated with Navy land transfers staff is managing a due diligence review of the first property proposed for transfer from the Navy in over ten (10) years, the PMA Housing Area. Consultant agreements for the environmental and financial analysis assessment have been executed, and those assessments are under way. Staff is facilitating the transfer of a number of sites on Mare Island including the PMA Housing Area Navy Transfer Request. § The Navy has requested transfer of this approximately 14-acre site located across from the Mare Island Cemetery.

Conclusion 8 To carry out our 2026 Work Plan, the city will need to fill the department’s three vacant positions including a new permanent Director, a Program Manager and a Secretary. This will allow staff to fully implement our Economic Development Strategic Plan, help existing businesses survive and grow, and attract new businesses that generate tax revenue, hire residents and bring in new workers that spend money in Vallejo. Given Vallejo’s unique assets, its central location; easy water, rail and highway access; an historic working waterfront and shipyard, reliable energy at reasonable prices, and some of the most affordable residential, commercial and industrial property in the Bay Area, with the right leadership and vision Vallejo can work closely with SF, Silicon Valley and Fremont to be the first place those cities think of when one of their major employers expresses the need to expand production in a less expensive area. It’s clearly in their best interest to work with us to keep new production capacity in the Bay Area. Why? They know once a major employer moves its production to Texas, Mississippi or Florida, its headquarters, jobs and taxes often follow. By developing relationships with economic development directors in those successful cities, and the state officials that are now pitching Benecia, Mare Island and Cal-Poly Maritime (along with new state tax subsidies for shipbuilding) to major shipbuilders from Europe, Japan and South Korea, Vallejo can provide a solution to the Bay Area’s need for lower cost locations where the region can develop the next generation of jobs in shipbuilding/ship repair, new drone and electric battery manufacturing; health care; and the aerospace and defense thanks to our proximity to Travis AFB, NASA Ames Research Center, etc. But to fully take advantage of these growing openings and address some our remaining challenges we will need a fully functioning and successful Economic Development Department to compete at the regional level, leverage the assets we have and use enlightened self-interest to convince our colleagues in Fremont, SF, Silicon Valley and Sacramento that we are the partners they’ve been looking for to protect their own jobs and revenue from leaving the Bay Area and California. I look forward to meeting with you in April to go over these ideas in more detail and some additions we can make to the city’s Economic Development Strategic Plan to transform Vallejo from the proverbial city on the verge of success to a place that is successful and has more and more people coming here to work, live, plan and create.
