COMMERCIAL AUTOMOBILE BROAD FORM

ENDORSEMENT
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:

BUSINESS AUTO COVERAGE FORM
To the extent that the provisions of this endorsement provide broader benefits to the "insured" than other provisions of the Coverage Form, the provisions of this endorsement apply.

COMMERCIAL AUTOMOBILE
HA 99 16 12 21
THIS ENDORSEMENT CHANGES THE POLICY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

1. BROAD FORM INSURED
Paragraph .1. - WHO IS AN INSURED - of
Section II - Liability Coverage is amended to
add the following:
d. Subsidiaries and Newly Acquired or
Formed Organizations
The Named Insured shown in the Declarations
is amended to include:
(1) Any legal business entity other than a
partnership or joint venture, formed as a
subsidiary in which you have an
ownership interest of more than 50% on
the effective date of the Coverage Form.

However, the Named Insured does not
include any subsidiary that is an "insured"
under any other automobile policy or
would be an "insured" under such a policy
but for its termination or the exhaustion of
its Limit of Insurance.
(2) Any organization that is acquired or
formed by you and over which you
maintain majority ownership. However,
the Named Insured does not include any
newly formed or acquired organization:
(a) That is a partnership or joint venture,
(b) That is an "insured" under any other
policy,
(c) That has exhausted its Limit of
Insurance under any other policy, or
(d) 180 days or more after its acquisition
or formation by you, unless you have
given us notice of the acquisition or
formation.

Coverage does not apply to "bodily injury"
or "property damage" that results from an
"accident" that occurred before you
formed or acquired the organization.
e. Employees as Insureds
(1). Any "employee" of yours while using a
covered "auto" you don't own, hire or
borrow in your business or your personal
affairs.
f. Lessors as Insureds
(1). The lessor of a covered "auto" while the
"auto" is leased to you under a written
agreement if:
(a) The agreement requires you to
provide direct primary insurance for
the lessor and
(b) The "auto" is leased without a driver.

Such a leased "auto" will be considered a
covered "auto" you own and not a covered
"auto" you hire.
g. Additional Insured if Required by Contract
(1) When you have agreed, in a written
contract or written agreement, that a
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your business auto
policy, such person or organization is an
"insured", but only to the extent such
person or organization is liable for "bodily
injury" or "property damage" caused by
the conduct of an "insured" under
paragraphs a. or b. of Who Is An Insured
with regard to the ownership,
maintenance or use of a covered "auto."
The insurance afforded to any such
additional insured applies only if the
"bodily injury" or "property damage"
occurs:
(a) During the policy period, and
(b) Subsequent to the execution of such
written contract, and

(c) Prior to the expiration of the period of
time that the written contract requires
such insurance be provided to the
additional insured.
(2) How Limits Apply
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that another person or
organization be added as an additional
insured on your policy, the most we will
pay on behalf of such additional insured is
the lesser of:
(a) The limits of insurance specified in the
written contract or written agreement;
or
(b) The Limits of Insurance shown in the
Declarations.

Such amount shall be a part of and not in
addition to Limits of Insurance shown in
the Declarations and described in this
Section.
(3) Additional Insureds Other Insurance
If we cover a claim or "suit" under this
Coverage Part that may also be covered
by other insurance available to an
additional insured, such additional insured
must submit such claim or "suit" to the
other insurer for defense and indemnity.

However, this provision does not apply to
the extent that you have agreed in a
written contract or written agreement that
this insurance is primary and
non-contributory with the additional
insured's own insurance.
(4) Duties in The Event Of Accident, Claim,
Suit or Loss
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that another person or
organization be added as an additional
insured on your policy, the additional
insured shall be required to comply with
the provisions in LOSS CONDITIONS 2. -

DUTIES IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT,
CLAIM , SUIT OR LOSS – OF SECTION
IV – BUSINESS AUTO CONDITIONS, in
the same manner as the Named Insured.

2. Primary and Non-Contributory if Required
by Contract
Only with respect to insurance provided to an
additional insured in A.1.g. - Additional
Insured If Required by Contract, the following
provisions apply:
(1) Primary Insurance When Required By
Contract
This insurance is primary if you have
agreed in a written contract or written
agreement that this insurance be primary.

If other insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance by the
method described in Other Insurance 5.d.
(2) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other
Insurance When Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory with the
additional insured's own insurance, this
insurance is primary and we will not seek
contribution from that other insurance.

Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to other
insurance to which the additional insured has
been added as an additional insured.

When this insurance is excess, we will have
no duty to defend the insured against any
"suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend
the insured against that "suit". If no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do so,
but we will be entitled to the insured's rights
against all those other insurers.

When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of the
amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the
sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-insured
amounts under all that other insurance.

We will share the remaining loss, if any, by
the method described in SECTION IVBusiness Auto Conditions, B. General Conditions, Other Insurance 5.d.

3. AUTOS RENTED BY EMPLOYEES
Any "auto" hired or rented by your "employee" on
your behalf and at your direction will be
considered an "auto" you hire.

General Conditions, 5. OTHER INSURANCE
Condition is amended by adding the following:
e. If an "employee’s" personal insurance also
applies on an excess basis to a covered
"auto" hired or rented by your "employee" on
your behalf and at your direction, this
insurance will be primary to the "employee’s"
personal insurance.

4. AMENDED FELLOW EMPLOYEE EXCLUSION
EXCLUSION 5. - FELLOW EMPLOYEE - of
SECTION II - LIABILITY COVERAGE does not
apply if you have workers' compensation
insurance in-force covering all of your
"employees".

Coverage is excess over any other collectible
insurance.

5. HIRED AUTO PHYSICAL DAMAGE COVERAGE
If hired "autos" are covered "autos" for Liability
Coverage and if Comprehensive, Specified
Causes of Loss, or Collision coverages are
provided under this Coverage Form for any "auto"
you own, then the Physical Damage Coverages
provided are extended to "autos" you hire or
borrow, subject to the following limit.

The most we will pay for "loss" to any hired "auto"
is:
(1) $100,000;
(2) The actual cash value of the damaged or
stolen property at the time of the "loss"; or
(3) The cost of repairing or replacing the
damaged or stolen property,
whichever is smallest, minus a deductible. The
deductible will be equal to the largest deductible
applicable to any owned "auto" for that coverage.

No deductible applies to "loss" caused by fire or
lightning. Hired Auto Physical Damage coverage
is excess over any other collectible insurance.

Subject to the above limit, deductible and excess
provisions, we will provide coverage equal to the
broadest coverage applicable to any covered
"auto" you own.

We will also cover loss of use of the hired "auto" if
it results from an "accident", you are legally liable
and the lessor incurs an actual financial loss,
subject to a maximum of $1000 per "accident".

This extension of coverage does not apply to any

c. Persons or organizations making claims or bringing "suits".

2. Aggregate Limits
The most we will pay for:
a. Damages because of "bodily injury" and "property damage" included in the "products-completed operations hazard" is the Products-Completed Operations Aggregate Limit shown in the Declarations. b. Damages because of all other "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury", including medical expenses, is the General Aggregate Limit shown in the Declarations.

This General Aggregate limit does not apply to "property damage" to premises while rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner, arising out of fire, lightning or explosion.

3. Each Occurrence Limit
Subject to 2.a. or 2.b above, whichever applies, the most we will pay for the sum of all damages because of all "bodily injury", "property damage" and medical expenses arising out of any one "occurrence" is the Liability and Medical Expenses Limit shown in the Declarations.

Such amount shall be a part of and not in addition to the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations and described in this Section.

(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) coverages applicable to such claim or "suit". However, this paragraph does not apply to the Medical Expenses limit set forth in Paragraph 3. above.

The Limits of Insurance of this Coverage Part apply separately to each consecutive annual period and to any remaining period of less than 12 months, starting with the beginning of the policy period shown in the Declarations, unless the policy period is extended after issuance for an additional period of less than 12 months. In that case, the additional period will be deemed part of the last preceding period for purposes of determining the Limits of Insurance.

E. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES GENERAL CONDITIONS

1. Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy or insolvency of the insured or of the insured's estate will not relieve us of our obligations under this Coverage Part.

2. Duties In The Event Of Occurrence, Offense, Claim Or Suit a. Notice Of Occurrence Or Offense
You or any additional insured under this Coverage Part must see to it that we are notified as soon as practicable of an "occurrence" or an offense which may result in a claim. To the extent possible, notice should include:
(1) How, when and where the "occurrence" or offense took place; (2) The names and addresses of any injured persons and witnesses; and (3) The nature and location of any injury or damage arising out of the "occurrence" or offense. b. Notice Of Claim
If a claim is made or "suit" is brought against any insured, you or any additional insured under this Coverage Part must:
(1) Immediately record the specifics of the claim or "suit" and the date received; and (2) Notify us as soon as practicable.

You or any additional insured under this Coverage Part must see to it that we receive a written notice of the claim or "suit" as soon as practicable.
c. Assistance And Cooperation Of The Insured
You and any other involved insured must:
(1) Immediately send us copies of any demands, notices, summonses or legal papers received in connection with the claim or “suit”;
(2) Authorize us to obtain records and other information; (3) Cooperate with us in the investigation, settlement of the claim or defense against the "suit"; and (4) Assist us, upon our request, in the enforcement of any right against any person or organization that may be liable to the insured because of injury or damage to which this insurance may also apply. d. Obligations At The Insured's Own Cost
No insured will, except at that insured's own cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume any obligation, or incur any expense, other than for first aid, without our consent. e. Additional Insured's Other Insurance
If we cover a claim or "suit" under this Coverage Part that may also be covered by other insurance available to an additional insured under this Coverage Part, such additional insured must submit such claim or "suit" to the other insurer for defense and indemnity.

However, this provision does not apply to the extent that you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with such additional insured's own insurance.
f. Knowledge Of An Occurrence, Offense, Claim Or Suit
Paragraphs a. and b. apply to you or to any additional insured under this Coverage Part only when such "occurrence", offense, claim or "suit" is known to:

(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) (1) You or any additional insured under this Coverage Part that is an individual; (2) Any partner, if you or an additional insured under this Coverage Part is a partnership; (3) Any manager, if you or an additional insured under this Coverage Part is a limited liability company; (4) Any "executive officer" or insurance manager, if you or an additional insured under this Coverage Part is a corporation;
(5) Any trustee, if you or an additional insured under this Coverage Part is a trust; or (6) Any elected or appointed official, if you or an additional insured under this Coverage Part is a political subdivision or public entity.

This Paragraph f. applies separately to you and any additional insured under this Coverage Part.

3. Legal action Against Us
No person or organization has a right under this Coverage Part:
a. To join us as a party or otherwise bring us into a "suit" asking for damages from an insured; or b. To sue us on this Coverage Part unless all of its terms have been fully complied with.

A person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured; but we will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this insurance or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative.

4. Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in this Policy to the first Named Insured, this insurance applies:
a. As if each Named Insured were the only Named Insured; and b. Separately to each insured against whom a claim is made or "suit" is brought.

5. Representations
a. When You Accept This Policy
By accepting this Policy, you agree:
(1) The statements in the Declarations are accurate and complete; (2) Those statements are based upon representations you made to us; and (3) We have issued this Policy in reliance upon your representations. b. Unintentional Failure To Disclose Hazards
If unintentionally you should fail to disclose all hazards relating to the conduct of your business at the inception date of this Coverage Part, we shall not deny any coverage under this Coverage Part because of such failure.

6. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is available for a loss we cover under this Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b. below applies. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. b. Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis:
(1) Your Work
That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk, Owner Controlled Insurance Program or OCIP, Contractor Controlled Insurance Program or CCIP, Wrap Up Insurance or similar coverage for "your work";
Docusign Envelope ID: 7CB50C50-705E-4CEE-BB1B-5F699D4446F3

Form SL 00 00 10 18 Page 17 of 22
© 2018, The Hartford
(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) (2) Premises Rented To You
That is fire, lightning or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner;
(3) Tenant Liability
That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft
If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of Section B. Exclusions.
(5) Property Damage To Borrowed Equipment Or Use Of Elevators If the loss arises out of "property damage" to borrowed equipment or the use of elevators to the extent not subject to Exclusion k. of Section B. Exclusions.
(6) When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance That is other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance; or
(7) When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance That is other insurance available to an additional insured.

However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part:
(a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below.
(b) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance.

Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured.

When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under this Coverage Part to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers.

When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance.

We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first.

Docusign Envelope ID: 7CB50C50-705E-4CEE-BB1B-5F699D4446F3

Form SL 00 00 10 18 Page 18 of 22
© 2018, The Hartford
(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer’s share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.

7. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. This condition does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: Senior Engineer Schneider
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVING SCOPE AND FEE PROPOSAL PREPARED BY CAROLLO ENGINEERING, INC. FOR THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

HYDRAULIC MODEL UPDATE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$391,800
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution awarding a contract to Carollo Engineering, Inc. (Carollo) for a water distribution system hydraulic model update, in an amount not to exceed $391,800; and authorize and direct the City Manager to execute the same.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Watsonville (City) owns and operates a water system which is comprised of supply sources (surface water diversions and groundwater wells), distribution systems, storage, and pumping facilities.

The City Water Division provides 14,800 service connections servicing a customer population of approximately 66,000 in an area that includes the City of Watsonville and unincorporated areas of Santa Cruz County. The service area consists of nine hydraulic pressure zones, fourteen wells, eight storage reservoirs, nine booster pump stations, over 180 miles of pipelines, and the Corralitos Filter Plant.

DISCUSSION:

A water hydraulic model simulates the physical characteristics of water infrastructure (pipes, pumps, tanks, valves) to analyze and predict the behavior of water flow and pressure under various conditions.

Carollo completed the most recent City of Watsonville Hydraulic Model in 2019.

2 Carollo’s proposed scope of work will help the Water Division plan the needs of the water distribution system, assess the state of the present distribution system, evaluate the ongoing water main replacement program, and evaluate how future conditions need to be accounted for, given the City’s existing water infrastructure and capacity.

Carollo Engineers, Inc. was selected from the City’s list of On-Call Water and Wastewater Design consultants for their knowledge and experience in water facilities and their specific experience working with the City’s Water System and specifically developing and updating the water hydraulic model. The on-call consultants list was selected from the publicly advertised Request for Qualification Statements from Consulting Engineering Firms for Periodic and On-Call Water and Wastewater Professional Design Services in August 2023 which is valid for three years.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Awarding a contract for engineering services has no potential for direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and constitutes merely an administrative activity of the government (14 Cal. Code Regs. §15378(a), (b)(5)). Even if awarding the contract were considered a “project,” it would be exempt from CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15262, as it involves only professional services related to possible future actions that the City has not approved, adopted, or funded, and the contract has no legally binding effect on any later activities (14 Cal. Code Regs. §15262). The action is also exempt under the “common sense” exemption (14 Cal. Code Regs. §15061(b)(3)), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity may have a significant effect on the environment. Further CEQA review will be conducted, as appropriate, prior to approval of any subsequent construction or implementation phase of the Cr6+ treatment project.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Approving this contract is consistent with strategic plan goal:

Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The cost of this proposal is not to exceed $391,800 and will span two fiscal years. There is sufficient budget to cover the costs of the Water Enterprise Fund in budget account 596-7307, and the fiscal year breakdown shall be as follows:

FY 25/26: $170,000
FY 26/27: $221,800

3 ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternatives known. Council may elect not to award the contract to Carollo which would delay the completion of the water system hydraulic model update.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PRINCIPAL MANAGEMENT ANALYST, ZAVALA
RECOMMENDED BY: CITY MANAGER VIDES
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH PAGE AND TURNBULL, INC. FOR ONCALL ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN SERVICES (NOT-TO-EXCEED $300,000)
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution approving a three-year professional services agreement with Page & Turnbull, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $300,000, to provide on-call Architectural Historian services for the review of planning and building permit applications involving historic or potentially historic resources, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any project-specific scopes and reimbursement agreements as needed.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Watsonville routinely receives planning and building permit applications involving historic and potentially historic structures. These resources are protected under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and must be evaluated for consistency with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. To ensure compliance with applicable regulations and support highquality project design, the City engages qualified architectural historians to provide third-party technical review and peer analysis of proposed projects affecting historic resources.

On May 9, 2025, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Architectural Historian Services for Review of Permit Applications. The RFQ sought to pre-qualify consultants capable of providing general consulting, historic analysis, and design review services, including determining historic significance, reviewing proposed modifications for consistency with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, preparing written recommendations, and communicating design guidance to project planners and project architects. Consultants were required to be listed in the California Historical Resources Information

2 System (CHRIS) and demonstrate experience completing Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms, conducting design review, and collaborating with local agencies.

The submission deadline was June 20, 2025, and the City received eleven Statements of Qualifications.

Community Development Department staff evaluated all submittals using a scoring rubric that considered location, residential and commercial project experience, local project experience, staffing, and CHRIS listing. Based on this evaluation, four firms were invited to participate in oral interviews: Architectural Resources Group, Dudek, Garavaglia Architecture, Inc., and Page & Turnbull, Inc. Following the interviews, Page & Turnbull, Inc. was selected as the City’s preferred consultant based on their qualifications, local experience, and demonstrated expertise in projects similar to those anticipated in Watsonville.

DISCUSSION:

The City requires specialized architectural historian expertise to support timely, consistent, and defensible review of development applications involving historic and potentially historic resources. This role is critical to ensuring that projects avoid or minimize impacts to historic resources, comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, while also providing applicants with clear and practical design guidance early in the permitting process.

Page & Turnbull, Inc. has extensive experience providing architectural history and historic preservation consulting services for public agencies and private development projects throughout California. Their team demonstrated a strong understanding of CEQA requirements, the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, and the practical application of those standards within active development environments.

During the RFQ and interview process, Page & Turnbull, Inc. also distinguished itself through its local and regional experience, depth of staffing, and approach to collaboration, communication, and timely project delivery, all of which staff found to be well aligned with the City’s needs and the types of redevelopment projects anticipated in Watsonville.

Staff recommends entering into an on-call professional services agreement with Page & Turnbull, Inc. The agreement will be unencumbered and task-order based. No work will be performed unless specifically requested by the City. When services are needed, the City will request a project-specific scope of work and cost proposal from the consultant. Upon approval by the City Manager, the City will enter into a reimbursement agreement with the project applicant and collect payment for the full cost of services prior to authorizing work. All consultant costs will be passed through to the applicant, ensuring there is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.

Establishing an on-call agreement with Page & Turnbull, Inc. will provide the City with timely access to specialized architectural historian expertise, support consistent application of preservation standards, and help ensure that development projects involving historic resources are reviewed in a manner that is technically sound, transparent, and compliant with CEQA and applicable state and federal preservation guidelines.

3 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

The approval of this professional services agreement is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code Section 21065 and California Code of Regulations 15378, as this agreement does not constitute a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. While the services provided under this agreement may support the City’s review of separate development projects under CEQA, the agreement itself does not authorize or result in any physical change in the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Efficient and Well-performing Government
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The proposed three-year, unencumbered professional services agreement with Page & Turnbull, Inc. is not anticipated to result in any net cost to the City. The agreement has a not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 over three years, and all fees for services will be billed to and reimbursed by the applicants requesting review, ensuring no impact to the General Fund.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The City Council may choose not to approve this agreement.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PRINCIPAL MANAGEMENT ANALYST ZAVALA
RECOMMENDED BY: CITY MANAGER VIDES
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF MOU BETWEEN THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE AND THE

COUNTY OF SANTA CRUZ FOR MASS CARE AND SHELTER SERVICES RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Watsonville and the County of Santa Cruz establishing a framework for coordination, information-sharing, and mutual assistance related to mass care, sheltering, evacuation support, and emergency assistance during emergencies and disasters, and authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Watsonville and the County of Santa Cruz operate within the same Operational Area under California’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), which emphasizes coordinated planning, communication, and resource sharing among jurisdictions. During large-scale emergencies and disasters, including wildfires, floods, earthquakes, severe storms, and other climate-driven events, communities throughout Santa Cruz County may experience displacement, evacuation, and significant demand for sheltering and mass care services.

The County of Santa Cruz Office of Response, Recovery, and Resilience (OR3) leads countywide efforts to enhance disaster preparedness and climate resilience. As part of this mission, OR3 has worked with local jurisdictions to formalize collaborative approaches that strengthen the region’s ability to provide mass care and emergency assistance in a consistent, equitable, and scalable manner.

The proposed MOU establishes a formal understanding between the City of Watsonville and the County of Santa Cruz regarding how the Parties will coordinate on sheltering, Temporary Evacuation Points (TEPs), Functional and Assessment Service Team (F.A.S.T.) deployment, and other mass care and emergency

2 assistance functions. While informal coordination has occurred in past incidents, this agreement clarifies roles, communication pathways, and expectations, thereby improving operational readiness and efficiency.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed MOU provides a structured framework for collaboration when an emergency or disaster exceeds the capacity of a single jurisdiction to manage mass care and emergency assistance needs. By formalizing coordination between the City and County, the agreement enhances the City’s ability to rapidly identify and activate shelter locations and Temporary Evacuation Points; request and receive mutual support for staffing, supplies, and specialized resources such as Functional and Assessment Service Team (F.A.S.T.) teams, which are certified personnel who assist individuals with disabilities and/or access and functional needs in obtaining appropriate services and resources in shelters and evacuation centers; share real-time information regarding shelter capacity, accessibility, and available services; and coordinate public messaging to ensure residents receive consistent and accurate information. These provisions support the City’s broader emergency management objectives and align with SEMS and Operational Area protocols.

Coordination will occur primarily through Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs), including physical, virtual, or hybrid activations. Planning Sections and Mass Care and Shelter Branches from both jurisdictions will coordinate directly using established EOC-to-EOC communication systems. When EOCs are not activated, requests may be initiated through Duty Officers. The agreement identifies reasonable thresholds that may trigger a request for mutual assistance, such as but not limited to; shelter capacity exceeding 75 percent, EOC activation at Level 2 or higher, declaration of a local emergency, or insufficient staffing for critical mass care functions. These thresholds provide guidance while preserving flexibility to respond to evolving conditions.

During incidents involving care and shelter operations, the City and County will participate in a Joint Information System (JIS) and designate Public Information Officers to develop and release coordinated messaging. Information related to shelter locations, accessibility, transportation options, pet accommodations, and available services will be shared through multiple platforms to promote clarity, consistency, and equitable access.

The MOU does not create a financial obligation between the Parties. Each agency remains responsible for its own costs, while agreeing to track eligible expenses for potential state or federal reimbursement when applicable. The MOU will remain in effect for five years, unless terminated earlier by either Party with 30 days’ written notice.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

The approval of this MOU is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et. seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code section 21065 and California Code of

3 Regulations 15378 as this is not a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Community Engagement & Well-being
Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with approval of this MOU. Each Party is responsible for its own costs. Eligible expenses incurred during declared emergencies may be tracked for potential reimbursement through state or federal disaster assistance programs.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

City Council could choose not to approve the MOU.

ATTACHMENTS AND/OR REFERENCES (IF ANY):

None.

APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE

CITY OF WATSONVILLE AND THE COUNTY OF SANTA CRUZ FOR MASS

CARE AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE DURING EMERGENCIES AND

DISASTERS AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXCUTE SAME WHEREAS, the City of Watsonville is committed to protecting the health, safety, and welfare of its residents before, during, and after emergencies and disasters; and WHEREAS, large-scale emergencies and disasters may exceed the capacity of a single jurisdiction and require coordinated, multi-agency response and resource sharing; and
WHEREAS, the County of Santa Cruz serves as the lead agency for the Operational Area under California’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and coordinates emergency management activities among jurisdictions within the County; and
WHEREAS, the City of Watsonville and the County of Santa Cruz desire to formalize a framework for collaboration related to sheltering, Temporary Evacuation Points, mass care services, and emergency assistance; and WHEREAS, the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishes procedures for coordination, information sharing, mutual assistance, and public messaging during emergencies and disasters; and
WHEREAS, the MOU does not create a financial obligation between the Parties and allows each agency to remain responsible for its own costs, while tracking eligible expenses for potential reimbursement when applicable; and

2 Reso No. ______ (CM)
Meeting Date: 021026
WHEREAS, approval of the MOU supports the City’s emergency management objectives and enhances regional preparedness and resilience.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:

1. This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution approving an MOU with the County of Santa Cruz for mass care and emergency assistance during emergencies and disasters, does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.

2. That the MOU between the City of Watsonville and the County of Santa Cruz, for mass care and emergency assistance during emergencies and disasters, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, is hereby approved.

3. The City Manager be and is hereby authorized and directed to execute said MOU for and on behalf of the City of Watsonville, with minor revisions that may be approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
*****************************************

1 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN

THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE AND THE COUNTY OF SANTA
CRUZ
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is made and entered into on ____________, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) by and between the County of Santa Cruz (the “County”) and the City of Watsonville (the “City”). The City and the County are referred to individually as “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, both the County and City recognize the importance of a coordinated, scalable approach to Mass Care and Emergency Assistance during emergencies and disasters, including those that may impact both jurisdictions simultaneously; and WHEREAS, the County of Santa Cruz Office of Response, Recovery, and Resilience (OR3) has a vision to go beyond more ‘traditional’ emergency management approaches, particularly when considering the severe and anticipated impacts of climate change. As the County of Santa Cruz is at the forefront of these impacts, OR3 is specifically tasked with enhancing the County of Santa Cruz’s overall climate change resilience.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties do mutually agree to incorporate these Recitals herein and agree to enter into this MOU to establish conditions under which the City and County will collaborate on sheltering, evacuation support, and other Mass Care and Emergency Assistance services.

Emergency Services, 275 Main Street, Suite 400,
Watsonville, California 95076

David Reid, Director, Office of Response, Recovery and Resilience 701 Ocean Street, Room 520, Santa Cruz, California 95060 831-454-3407
ARTICLE II: DEFINITIONS

1. Disaster shall have the same meaning as the term “local emergency” under California Government Code Section 8558(c), i.e., a proclaimed existence of conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property caused by conditions such as a

2 wildfire, hurricane, tornado, storm, flood, wind-driven event, earthquake, tsunami, drought, blizzard, air pollution, pestilence, famine, explosion, mass casualty event, transportation accident, terrorist attack, riot, epidemic, pandemic, sudden and severe energy shortage, plant or animal infestation or disease, or other situation that displaces people, causes human suffering, creates human needs that survivors cannot alleviate without assistance, or is or is likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of any single county, city and county, or city and require the combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to combat. In the event of any conflict between this definition and the definition set forth in Government Code Section 8558(c), the latter shall control.

2. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) shall mean the designated location—physical or virtual—where coordination of information, resources, and support for incident management activities occurs. An EOC may be activated physically, virtually, or in a hybrid configuration depending on the nature of the emergency, staffing availability, and facility accessibility. A virtually activated EOC shall be considered fully operational and subject to the same expectations for coordination, communication, documentation, and interagency support as a physically activated EOC, to the extent feasible.Functional and Assessment Service Team (F.A.S.T.) shall mean the certified team members who ensure that individuals with disabilities and/or access and functional needs (AFN) obtain the resources needed to live as independently as possible while at an evacuation center or shelter.

3. Mass Care shall mean responding to immediate disaster-caused needs of individuals, including household pets, through the following essential services: sheltering, feeding, distribution of emergency supplies, reunification, and basic Medical/Health care services.

4. Mass Care Shelter: Disaster-relief locations that provide a roof overhead, food, water, sanitation, and support to evacuees in maintaining their basic living needs until they can return home. Survival and basic non-medical health maintenance are the goals of disaster sheltering. These shelters are often operated through partnerships between government agencies and volunteer organizations.

5. Emergency Assistance in the context of this MOU, "emergency assistance" refers to the coordinated support provided by one jurisdiction (City or County) to the other during emergencies or disasters that exceed the requesting jurisdiction’s capacity to respond.

This assistance may include, but is not limited to, personnel, equipment, facilities, supplies, and other resources necessary to support the provision of care and shelter for displaced or affected individuals. Emergency assistance is provided upon request and is intended to protect public health, safety, and welfare in an equitable and inclusive manner.

6. Operational Area (OA) The Operational Area is a collective framework that includes the County of Santa Cruz and all political subdivisions within the county, such as cities, special districts, and other local government entities. In accordance with the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), the County of Santa Cruz serves as the lead agency for the Operational Area and is responsible for coordinating emergency management information, resources, and priorities among jurisdictions within the county during emergencies. This coordination does not alter the legal authorities or responsibilities of individual jurisdictions unless formally delegated.

7. Mutual Aid Request shall mean a formal request for the provision of resources from one Party to the other when needed to address high-demand incidents and one party is under resourced. Mutual aid requests may include, but are not limited to, personnel teams, facilities, equipment, and supplies.

8. Planning Section is a staff section within every Emergency Operations Center responsible for collecting, evaluating, and disseminating information related to the

3 incident or emergency. It supports decision-making by maintaining situational awareness, forecasting incident development, and preparing plans, including the Incident Action Plan (IAP) or EOC Action Plan.

9. Mass Care and Shelter Branch is a staff branch within every Emergency Operations Center responsible for managing the provision of shelter, food, and other forms of mass care (e.g., health services, mental health support, and other emergency services) to disaster survivors, displaced persons, or evacuees. This branch plays a crucial role in addressing the immediate needs of individuals who are affected by a disaster until they can return to a more stable living situation or until long-term recovery programs are in place.

10. Duty Officer acts as the on-duty leader or supervisor within a City of County jurisdiction during a specific operational period, ensuring that the EOC functions smoothly and efficiently. They oversee the EOC's operations, including resource management, coordination among response teams, and communication with external agencies and stakeholders.

11. Temporary Evacuation Point (TEP): Strategically located initial gathering sites for evacuees, particularly those without personal vehicles. TEPs provide essential short-term services, such as initial registration, basic medical triage, essential supplies, and coordination of transportation resources. TEPs also assist in evacuee tracking and accountability.

ARTICLE III: METHODS OF COOPERATION
Guided by the understanding that Disasters are likely to happen, the Parties recognize the need to develop cooperation to augment one another’s emergency management efforts with necessary personnel, supplies and resources during a Disaster.

1. In the event of an emergency or Disaster, the City and County agree to collaborate in the provision of shelter locations and temporary evacuation points to ensure the safety and well-being of affected residents. Both Parties will share information regarding available shelter facilities, including capacity, location, and operational status, and will assist in facilitating the rapid establishment or expansion of evacuation points as necessary. The City and County will coordinate their efforts to deploy resources, personnel, and support services to ensure the effective operation of these shelters and evacuation points, maintaining clear communication and mutual assistance throughout the duration of the emergency.

2. The City and County will utilize established EOC-to-EOC communication protocols (incident management software, e-mail, phone call), including mutual coordination between Planning Sections and Mass Care Branches during activation.

3. Requests for mutual support, including sheltering assistance, F.A.S.T. teams, or emergency supplies, will be made through official channels during EOC activations or via Duty Officers when not activated.

4. This MOU does not relieve any of the Parties from the necessity and obligation of using its own resources for furnishing emergency medical and health disaster services within any part of its jurisdiction or area of responsibility.

4 5. Requests for mutual aid or emergency assistance under this MOU shall be made when a Party determines that an emergency or disaster incident exceeds its internal capacity to safely and effectively manage sheltering, evacuation support, or other Mass Care functions.

Thresholds may include, but are not limited to:
• Shelter or Temporary Evacuation Point (TEP) capacity exceeding 75% utilization; • Activation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at Level 2 or higher; • Declaration of a Local Emergency under California Government Code Section 8630; • Inability to staff critical Mass Care functions, including F.A.S.T. or public health services; • Need for additional accessible facilities to serve Access and Functional Needs (AFN) populations.

The requesting Party will document the nature and scope of the need and initiate the request through Duty Officer or EOC channels as appropriate.

5. During incidents involving the activation of care and shelter sites, the City and County agree to coordinate public messaging and information dissemination through a Joint Information System (JIS). Each Party will designate a lead Public Information Officer (PIO) to participate in joint messaging development. The Parties will share critical public information related to shelter locations, accessibility, transportation, pet policies, and available services. This information will be released through coordinated platforms (e.g., websites, social media, local alerting systems) to ensure clarity, consistency, and equity in public communications.

Upon activation of shelters or Temporary Evacuation Points, the Parties agree to share real-time status updates on shelter locations, capacity, accessibility, and available services using established EOC-to-EOC communication protocols (incident management software, e-mail, phone call).

ARTICLE IV: FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

1. This MOU creates no financial obligation between the Parties.

2. The Parties agree to track all eligible costs associated with mutual support for potential reimbursement during declared emergencies by the State or Federal government.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: SOLID WASTE DIVISION MANAGER SMITH
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE PURCHASE OF USED 2007 CATERPILLAR 613C II SCRAPER FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $487,282.00 PLUS THE

ACTUAL COST OF FREIGHT AND TAXES WHICH ARE CALCULATED UPON FINAL SHIPMENT FROM PAPE MACHINERY, INC., AND APPROPRIATE $500,000 FROM THE SOLID
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase of a used 2007 Caterpillar 613c II scraper for the landfill through their distributor, PAPE Machinery, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $487,282.00 plus the actual cost of freight and taxes which are calculated at the time of final shipment; authorize and direct the City Manager to execute the purchase agreement and any adjustments that may be necessary to execute the purchase; and approve an appropriation in the amount of $500,000 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund balance to the Landfill Vehicle purchase budget code.

BACKGROUND:

The City recently opened cell IV and started receiving, compacting, and disposing of solid waste at the existing landfill facility in April of 2025. In the process of operating, the City’s existing scraper’s transmission went out, and parts are non-existent due to its age. The scraper is an important piece of equipment used to haul dirt to cover compacted garbage for vermin control and is required by state regulations. While this equipment replacement was planned within the next two years, the condition of the existing scraper has expedited the need for a replacement.

DISCUSSION:

2 The Solid Waste Division resumed receiving refuse at the City’s existing landfill in April of 2025 to help control disposal costs. State regulations require that 1 foot of dirt cover shall be placed on top of compacted garbage to deter rodents and vermin on the active face of garbage. The City has an existing scraper that is used to move the required dirt cover around the landfill site. The existing scraper’s transmission recently failed, and parts are no longer available for repair due to the age of the equipment.

Without a scraper, the dirt must be moved with a loader and dump truck, equipment that is timeconsuming and inefficient for operations because it limits the landfill operations staff's ability to keep up with staging dirt for cover.

A new scraper is on the order of $1.1 million to purchase, which is outside of the current planned landfill budget. However, staff reached out to the local CAT distributor, PAPE Machinery, to see if they had any used scrapers in good condition that would be more affordable. PAPE Machinery identified a used scraper that had been utilized as an equipment rental with low operating hours. It was recently overhauled with $120,000 in upgraded gaskets and maintenance in preparation for sale. With the low number of operating hours on the equipment, it is anticipated to last another fifteen or more years for the City.

In accordance with City Municipal Code 3-5.210 (g) purchasing used equipment is exempt from the formal bidding procedures that are otherwise required for the purchase of new equipment. Staff therefore recommends the purchase of one (1) used 2007 Caterpillar 613C II scraper in an amount of $487,282.00, plus the actual cost of freight and taxes charged at the time of delivery.

As this purchase was unplanned, a budget appropriation is also required to cover the cost of the purchase as described in the financial section.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that purchasing of equipment is an administrative task that does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This purchase supports Strategic Plan Goal:

Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

3 As this was an unplanned purchase, the Solid Waste Division requests an appropriation of $500,000.00 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund balance into account 740-912-7805-15246. Once the appropriation is completed, there will be sufficient funds to cover the cost of this used equipment purchase.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternatives are known currently. Council could elect not to approve the purchase of the used scraper, which will require staff to continue to use the less efficient dirt-moving methods, which would increase landfill operating costs in the long run.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: SR ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS ANALYST STOLZENTHALER RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF $60,000 GRANT AWARD FROM RECYCLING PARTNERSHIP, INC.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution accepting $60,000 in grant funds to conduct a recycling auditing and outreach program as well as no-charge access to professional services from Recycling Partnership, Inc., and to authorize the City Manager to execute all agreements and any necessary amendments in a form approved by the City Attorney, and appropriate such funds to the Special Grants Fund [0260].

BACKGROUND:

With the support of grant funding and in-kind services from the Recycling Partnership, Inc., staff recommend that the City conduct a robust curbside recycling education project. The residential recycling study will utilize smart camera technology, direct feedback mailers, and informational mailers to decrease contamination of curbside recyclables.

Packaging Producers such as those represented by the Recycling Partnership, are investigating solutions to improve the recycling rate, as required under the stringent Senate Bill (SB) 54 requirements to increase recycling statewide between 2027 – 2032. SB 54 requires producers of packaging to increase recycling rates to 30% by 2028; 40% by 2030; and 65% by 2032.

A Recycling Characterization Study conducted by SCS Engineers in 2021 reported the recycling contamination rate in the city of Watsonville to be 27.4%. While not unlike that of other nearby cities, recycling contamination increased nearly 7% over 2018. Recycling contamination results in a dramatic waste of natural resources and potential load contamination fines. It is to the city’s benefit to gain

2 innovative solid waste technology tools and insight as to the best practices in effective conservation outreach, at no cost to the community.

DISCUSSION:

The Recycling Partnership contacted the City of Watsonville and Zabble, Inc. to explore a collaborative research opportunity focused on utilizing technology to identify recycling contamination and adopt best practices in conservation behavior change. Grant funding in the amount of $60,000 has been budgeted in the work plan for the contract for smart cameras, contamination identification software, informational mailers and residential postcards. The Recycling Partnership, Inc. is also offering free of charge to the City what they have estimated to be an additional $125,000 of in-kind professional services and resources to bolster outreach strategies, materials and statistics.

The City Solid Waste Division will be responsible to manage the grant award, contract, and reimbursements, as well as collaborate on the project, refine educational materials, conduct limited recycling audits, and report publicly available collection weights. This residential recycling contamination reduction project will include:
 A bilingual, visually appealing info card mailer about what is accepted in the curbside recycling program to be delivered to all residents;
 The installation of smart cameras on 2 recycling collection trucks;  A software dashboard to display contamination photos and statistics  The implementation of a direct feedback anti-contamination education campaign using smart camera technology;
 An update to the city’s website to align with new educational collateral developed for the outreach campaign; and
 Other anti-contamination strategies to be determined and mutually agreed upon by the Recycling Partnership and the City Solid Waste Division CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution accepting grant funds and free-of-charge in-kind professional services from the Recycling Partnership, Inc., does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and because the action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.

3 STRATEGIC PLAN:

This project is consistent with Strategic Plan Priorities:

Community Engagement & Well-being
Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Recycling Contamination Reduction Project is 100% funded by the Recycling Project, Inc. $60,000 grant award. A budget appropriation to the Special Grant Fund [0260] is required so a new project can be created by the Finance Department on behalf of the Solid Waste Division.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternative known at this time. Council could elect not to accept the grant funding and not proceed with the opportunity to pilot a contamination monitoring and outreach campaign to help improve community engagement on proper recycling

TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR FONTES

ASSISTANT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MEEK
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ACCEPT AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

PROGRAM GRANT AWARD FOR BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,108,000;

AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL AGREEMENTS

AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO AND ANY DO
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution authorizing acceptance of an Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program grant award for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements, in the amount of $3,108,000; and authorize the City Manager to execute all agreements and any amendments thereto and any documents which may be necessary for completion of the project and appropriate such funds to the Special Grants Fund [0260]
BACKGROUND:

On March 25, 2025, the California Strategic Growth Council (SCG) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Round 9 of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program.1 The AHSC program provides funding for affordable housing development that supports sustainable communities. A key component of the AHSC program is to include projects that achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions to benefit communities throughout California, particularly through increasing accessibility to affordable

1 HCD website – AHSC Program (visited on May 2, 2025, https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-and-funding/programsactive/affordable-housing-and-sustainable-communities)

2 housing and to vital community amenities and resources via low-carbon transportation, resulting in fewer vehicle miles traveled through shortened or reduced trip length or mode shift from single occupancy vehicle use to transit, bicycling, or walking.

The city partnered with MidPen Housing Corporation and the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transportation District on a grant application to fund reconstruction of the existing Watsonville METRO station to include 78 units, a new transit station, multi-modal improvements to Rodriguez St between West Lake Ave and West Beach St and other improvements in the downtown area. $3,108,000 was requested by the city for these downtown improvements that included the following:
 Extension of the proposed Main St “road diet” to include Main St from Beach St to Riverside Dr.  Widening the sidewalk on Main Street between Central Avenue and First Street.  Installing Class III Bicycle Boulevards with traffic calming improvements along Brennan Street and portions of 2nd Street, 5th Street, Ford Street, Maple Street and Union Street.  Design, construction, project management, and grant administration.

On May 13, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 125-25 (CM), authorizing the City Manager to submit an application for funding as co-applicant from the AHSC.

DISCUSSION:

On December 10, 2025, the city was notified that the AHSC grant was approved. The total award for the Watsonville Metro Project was as follows:

AHSC Program Award Component Amount Awarded
AHSC Program Loan Award $26,168,604
AHSC Program Grant Award $12,839,520
Total: 39,008,124
As noted above, the city share of the Grant Award is $3,108,000. The balance is for MidPen and METRO.

As a first step, the city needs to provide a Council Resolution accepting the grant and authorizing staff to execute the grant documents. Staff have prepared a resolution accepting the grant and identifying the City Manager to execute the grant documents. Staff request that Council approve the resolution.

Once the city secures the funding, staff will begin designing the proposed improvements. The grant documents call for construction to begin on December 1, 2026, and to be complete by June 1, 2028. A permit application by MidPen and METRO project for redevelopment of the Transit Center is currently under review by the Community Development Department. The grant documents also call for construction of the Transit Center project to begin on December 1, 2026, and be complete by June 1, 2028.

CEQA DETERMINATION:

Accepting funding from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program does not meet the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as defined in

3 Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. According to Section 15378(a), a “project” refers to an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and which is undertaken, funded, or approved by a public agency.

Since accepting AHSC funding is merely a preliminary administrative action and does not constitute an approval of or commitment to a specific project or result in any physical change to the environment at this stage, it is not subject to CEQA review.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

This action is consistent with the following Strategic Plan goals:
 Infrastructure & Environment
 Public Safety
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Proceeds from the grant are to be appropriated to the Special Grants Fund (0260).

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

Accepting the AHSC Program Award from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program does not meet the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. According to Section 15378(a), a “project” refers to an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and which is undertaken, funded, or approved by a public agency. Since accepting the AHSC Program Award is merely a preliminary administrative action and does not constitute an approval of or commitment to a specific project or result in any physical change to the environment at this stage, it is not subject to CEQA review.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Monday, February 10, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY:

RECOMMENDED BY: PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR CALUBAQUIB APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A GRANT AND CULTURAL DISTRICT

DESIGNATION FROM CALIFORNIA ARTS COUNCIL
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution accepting a $10,000 grant award and Cultural District designation from the California Arts Council, authorizing the City Manager to execute all required forms and agreements to receive the grant and appropriating such funds to the Special Grant Fund (0260).

BACKGROUND:

The California Arts Council’s Cultural Districts program aims to assist Californians in leveraging the state’s considerable assets in the areas of culture, creativity, and diversity. A cultural district is generally understood as a well-defined geographic area with a high concentration of cultural resources and activities.

Originating with the adoption of Assembly Bill 189 in 2015, authored by Assemblyman Richard Bloom, the California Cultural Districts program aims to leverage the state’s artistic and cultural assets. Aligning with the mission and values of the California Arts Council, the districts will celebrate the diversity of California while unifying under an umbrella of shared values—helping to grow and sustain authentic grassroots arts and cultural opportunities, increasing the visibility of local artists and community participation in local arts and culture, and promoting socioeconomic and ethnic diversity. Districts will also play a conscious role in tackling issues of artist displacement. Each district received an initial designation period of 10 years, per state legislation, and are eligible for recertification by the California Arts Council body. “State-level designation of Cultural Districts, with California’s diverse geography and regional variety, allowed for an entirely new and comprehensive look at our deeply valued cultural assets,” said Donn K.

2 Harris, California Arts Council Chair in July 2017. “Each community's personal and generational commitment to these assets speaks of a state deeply invested in the places and people that celebrate local traditions and creativity. Our goal with the launch of this program was to support a group of districts that met high but broad standards of coherence, vision, and purpose – ones that could set an example for districts that will follow as the program develops and grows.” The mission of the California Arts Council, a state agency, is to advance California through the arts and creativity. The Council is committed to building public will and resources for the arts; fostering accessible arts initiatives that reflect contributions from all of California's diverse populations; serving as a thought leader and champion for the arts; and providing effective and relevant programs and services. Learn more at www.arts.ca.gov.

For the first time since 2017, in 2026, 10 new districts will join the original cohort of state-designated Cultural Districts, highlighting some of the thriving cultural diversity and unique artistic identities within local communities across California.

DISCUSSION:

The California Arts Council (CAC) accepted applications for new Cultural Districts between May 27 and August 7, 2025, and received 74 applications. City staff, in partnership with the Arts Council of Santa Cruz County, submitted an application to designate Downtown Watsonville as a Cultural District as one of the first action items identified in Watsonville’s recently adopted Public Arts Master Plan. Watsonville was selected as one of 19 semifinalists and was scheduled for a site visit on October 29. During this site visit, the City Manager, the Mayor, City staff, and close to 20 community members and artists met with representatives from the CAC to showcase Watsonville’s strong art and cultural assets and history. During the CAC Board’s meeting on December 12, the Board approved Watsonville as one of 10 new Cultural Districts for 2026.

The following were established as California’s newest state-designated cultural districts:
 American Indian Cultural District, Yelamu (San Francisco) – San Francisco County  The Arts and Culture District, Riverside – Riverside County  Arts District Liberty Station, San Diego – San Diego County  Black Arts Movement Business District, Oakland – Alameda County  Dos Rios Arts and Culture District, Modesto – Stanislaus County  Downtown Merced Cultural District, Merced – Merced County  Downtown Oxnard Cultural District, Oxnard – Ventura County  Historic South Los Angeles Black Cultural District, Los Angeles – Los Angeles County  San Jose Japantown, San Jose – Santa Clara County
 Watsonville Cultural District, Watsonville – Santa Cruz County These new districts, including Watsonville, will receive $10,000 over a two-year period, official state certification, technical assistance, and access to joint marketing and branding resources. The designation period will run from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2030.

3 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution accepting a grant and Cultural District designation does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.

STRATEGIC PLAN:
 Community Engagement & Well-being – A large number of community members and community organizations were instrumental is securing this designation. Continued community engagement will be key to the success of the cultural district.  Economic Development – This designation has the potential to drive economic development and tourism through the arts in Watsonville.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Watsonville, will receive $10,000 over a two-year period, official state certification, technical assistance, and access to joint marketing and branding resources. Funds will be appropriated to the Special Grants Fund:
 Revenue: 0260-337-5890-09076 - $10,000
 Expense:
o 0260-337-7361-09076 - $5,000
o 0260-337-7533-09076 - $5,000
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The Council could elect not to accept this grant and Cultural District designation.

1. This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that adopting a Resolution accepting a grant and Cultural District designation does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.

2. Accepts the award of grant funding in the amount of $10,000 dollars from the California Arts Council for the designation.

3. Authorizes City Manager, Tamara Vides or her designee to execute all required forms and agreements to receive the grant.

4. That $10,000 dollars be appropriated to the Special Grants Fund (0260). *******************************

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDED BY: CITY MANAGER VIDES
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION PROHIBITING THE USE OF CITY-OWNED

FACILITIES FOR CIVIL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Prohibiting the Use of City-Owned Facilities for Civil Immigration Enforcement Activities.

BACKGROUND:

In recent months, federal immigration officials (the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement or “ICE”) have entered multiple cities purportedly to execute immigration enforcement actions. These actions have caused significant disruptions to cities and clashes between local and federal authorities. At times, the presence of large numbers of armed ICE officials has engendered fear in the community and impacted the local economy. In several cases, ICE officials have caused physical harm to the deaths of community members.

The cities of Chicago and San Jose, and the County of Santa Clara have enacted local policies prohibiting the use of City-owned facilities for civil immigration activities.

DISCUSSION:

The City owns and maintains numerous facilities, including parks, open space, parking lots, garages, airport hangars, and buildings. These facilities are often maintained by City staff for the benefit of the Watsonville community, either as spaces they can enjoy, such as parks and the library and open space or, at times, ways to generate revenue for the City, via leases or event spaces. These spaces are not intended to be used for immigration enforcement activities, which are solely the purview of the federal government.

4907-9488-2701 v1 2
Watsonville staff is aware of, in recent weeks and months, federal immigration officials commandeering publicly owned facilities for immigration enforcement activities. That is not the intended use of the City’s community assets, and undermines the community’s ability to enjoy those assets as intended. This recommended Resolution prohibits such use.

The Resolution is subject to civil, rather than criminal, enforcement.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:

No environmental review is required for this item. Limiting the use of City-owned facilities is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the action does not have the potential to result in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.) FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The recommended action will not impact the General Fund.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION:

The Council could decline to adopt the Resolution or direct changes to the Resolution.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE

PROHIBITING THE USE OF CITY-OWNED FACILITIES FOR CIVIL

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES
WHEREAS, the City of Watsonville (“City”) is home to a culturally rich and diverse immigrant community, who play a central role in the social fabric and economic vitality of our City; and
WHEREAS, the City is also home to numerous and various City-owned and maintained facilities, including parks, open space, parking lots, garages, airport hangars, and buildings.; and
WHEREAS, these facilities are community assets, and the City owns and maintains these facilities for the benefit of our community, either as spaces they can enjoy, such as our parks and library, or to generate revenue for our City, such as airport hangars and other buildings; and
WHEREAS, in recent weeks and months, our City Council, staff, and community has observed agencies of the federal government commandeering publicly owned facilities in other communities for immigration enforcement, an activity that is solely the responsibility of the federal government; and
WHEREAS, the use of City-owned facilities for federal immigration enforcement activities, including as staging areas for operations, bases for operations, or processing locations, is not the intended use of these community assets and, as such, undermines our community’s ability to enjoy these assets, while also undermining the City’s authority over its own property; and

2 Reso No. ______ (CM)
Meeting Date: 021026
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to prohibit use of City-owned facilities for civil immigration activities, in order to preserve City resources for their intended purpose and enable consistent management of City-owned facilities and public property, and to preserve trust in our community.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:

1. No City-owned public facilities may be used as staging areas, bases for operations, or processing locations for federal immigration activities.

2. The provisions of this Resolution shall not impair any lease, license, or any other property interest or contractual restriction in existence as of the date of adoption of this Resolution.

3. The City Council confirms its understanding that State law requires that federal immigration officials possess a judicial warrant prior to entering any area of a City owned facility that is not generally, or at the time of entry, open to the public. Nothing in this Resolution shall be construed as restricting or interfering with the execution of valid judicial warrants or court orders from federal or State judicial officers or with the enforcement of any provisions of criminal law, nor as limiting the rights of any person or entity under State or federal law.

4. Nothing in this Resolution is intended to limit or prohibit any City, County, State, or federal officer or employee from investigating suspected violations of criminal law.

5. Enforcement of this Resolution shall be via civil, rather than criminal, procedures.

Sec. 6-7.100 Intent and Findings.

The Watsonville City Council finds and declares that:
(a) The City of Watsonville makes the following findings:
(1) In June 2012, the City of Watsonville passed its first bag reduction ordinance to eliminate certain types of plastic carryout bags in the City and to encourage reusable bags to reduce waste and to protect the environment from plastic pollution.
(2) In April of 2014, the City of Watsonville updated its bag reduction ordinance to further implement bag reduction mandates.
(3) In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 67, a statewide referendum to uphold Senate Bill 270 that banned single-use carryout bags. As a result, most grocery stores, retail stores with a pharmacy, convenience food stores, foodmarts, and liquor stores no longer provide single-use, lightweight, plastic carryout bags to their customers at the point of sale.

5 Ord No. (CM)
Reference: Ord. No. 1284-12, 1302-14 (Amend)
Meeting Date: 021026
(4) Senate Bill 270 allowed the use of thicker film plastic carryout bags that were deemed reusable if they met specified standards. These thicker film plastic carryout bags were not generally reused by consumers and resulted in an increased amount of plastic and plastic waste.
(5) Senate Bill 1053 bans thicker plastic bags at grocery checkouts starting January 1, 2026, closing a loophole in the original bag ban to reduce plastic waste, and requires retailers to offer paper bags (with increasing recycled content) for a 10-cent fee, encouraging reusable bags but allows for jurisdictions to adopt stricter standards.
(b) It is the intent of this ordinance to:
(1) Support and reflect the will of City of Watsonville residents and California voters to ban the distribution of film plastic carryout bags at stores. (2) Incentivize California consumers to bring their own reusable bag for carrying out store purchases, with stores encouraging and supporting this practice, which will reduce the costly and wasteful practice of relying on store-provided carryout bags. (3) Support sustainable and thriving communities and natural environments that are not burdened with pollution from plastic production nor littered with plastic waste. (4) Eliminate film plastic carryout bags from grocery store distribution and increase the recycling of paper carryout bags.
(5) Reduce the proliferation of plastic pollution by eliminating the existing provisions of law that allows film plastic carryout bags to be distributed as reusable bags under the City’s and the state’s bag bans.

(§ 1, Ord. 1284-12 (CM), eff. June 7, 2012, as amended by § 1, Ord. 1302-14 (CM), eff. April 24, 2014)
The City of Watsonville makes the following findings:
(1) Globally, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion petroleum-based plastic bags are used each year, which equals over 1 million per minute, the production and use of which uses over 12 million barrels of oil. The California Integrated Waste Management Board estimates that Californians use nearly 20 billion singleuse plastic bags per year and discard over 100 hundred plastic bags per second.

Further the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that only 5 percent of the plastic bags in California and nationwide are currently recycled. (2) The production and disposal of plastic bags cause significant environmental impacts, including contamination of the environment, the deaths of thousands of marine animals through ingestion and entanglement, widespread litter and debasement of the urban environment, and increased waste disposal costs.
(3) Most plastic carryout bags do not biodegrade, but instead persist in the environment for hundreds of years; rather than breaking down, they slowly break up through abrasion, tearing, and photodegradation into toxic plastic bits that contaminate soil and water, while entering the food web when animals inadvertently ingest these materials. Toxic substances present in plastics are known to cause death or reproductive failure in fish, shellfish, wildlife, and in the humans ingesting the fish.

7 Ord No. (CM)
Reference: Ord. No. 1284-12, 1302-14 (Amend)
Meeting Date: 021026
(4) Plastic bits absorb dangerous compounds such as
dichlorodipheny/dichloroethylene (DDE), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), and other toxic materials present in ocean water. Plastics have been found to concentrate these toxic chemicals at levels of up to 1 million times the levels found in seawater. Plastic bits have displaced plankton in the Pacific Gyre. (5) The U.S. Marine Mammal Commission estimates that 257 marine species have been reported entangled in or having ingested marine debris. Plastic can constrict the animals’ movements or block their digestive system, killing the animals through starvation, exhaustion, or infection from deep wounds caused by tightening material.
(6) According to Save Our Shores, a Santa Cruz based marine conservation non-profit that conducts beach, river, and inland cleanups in the coastal regions of Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and Monterey Counties, from June 2007 to May 2011 they conducted over 400 cleanups where volunteers removed a total of 26,000 plastic bags. Unchecked, this material would have likely entered the marine environment of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. (7) Plastic bags returned to supermarkets may be recycled into plastic lumber; however, a very low percentage of bags are actually returned. Recycling bags into lumber does not reduce the impact of making new plastic carryout bags. (8) Compostable plastic carryout bags, as currently manufactured, do not solve the problems of wildlife damage, litter, or resource use addressed by this ordinance. Compostable carryout bags are designed to remain intact until placed in a professional compost facility, so they do not degrade quickly as litter or in a

8 Ord No. (CM)
Reference: Ord. No. 1284-12, 1302-14 (Amend)
Meeting Date: 021026
marine environment. Producing compostable bags consumes nearly as much fossil fuel as noncompostable bags. Mixing compostable bags with regular plastic bags prevents recycling or composting either of them. Therefore, there is no exemption in this ordinance for compostable carryout bags. (9) Reusable bags are readily available from numerous sources and vendors. Many grocery and other retail establishments throughout the City of Watsonville already offer reusable bags.
(10) This ordinance recognizes that there are energy and environmental consequences of using paper bags. While paper bags do not have the end-of-use impacts of plastic bags, they may use comparable or more energy and resources to manufacture. For this reason, a store charge on paper bags is indicated, as an incentive to reduce their use and encourage reusable bags. Paper bags that contain a minimum of forty fifty percent (50%) (40%) post consumer recycled content have fewer negative impacts than virgin paper bags. (11) Paper shopping bags with forty fifty percent (50%) (40%) post consumer recycled content are easily available, and such bags are in wide use by City of Watsonville merchants.
(12) State law currently prohibits local jurisdictions from placing fees on single-use checkout plastic bags. Therefore, several California Cities have adopted or are pursuing a ban as the most effective remaining means to eliminate the impacts these plastic bags cause. State law does not prohibit jurisdictions from placing fees on paper bags.

(13) The City of Watsonville has an obligation to protect the environment, the economy, and public health. The City of Watsonville has a waste reduction goal, which is to be reached by waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting.
