AHSC grant application with funding requested to support the affordable housing development, transit, local transportation improvement, and housing programs and services.
During the application review process, ESC, with HCD’s support, invited Hudson Valley Property Group, LLC (“HVPG”) – an affordable housing developer with significant experience – to be a part of the Grand Gateway affordable housing development team and grant co-applicant. On December 10, 2025, SGC’s Board of Directors approved SGC’s staff recommendation to conditionally award $43,350,739 to the “MOSA Apartment Homes at Gateway” application. The awarded project includes multiple components listed below, the locations of which are reflected in Attachment 3.
ASHC Grant Award Project Components Award Amount
Affordable Housing Construction Loan at 817 West Capitol Avenue $28,350,739 Streetcar Project Electric Vehicle Purchase and Station Improvements $8,750,000 Bike and Pedestrian Improvements in West Sacramento $4,749,000 Bus Shelter Improvements in West Sacramento $1,001,000
Affordable Housing Programs and Services $500,000
Total $43,350,739
Of the approximately $43 million conditional grant award, the City will directly receive $5.9 million for implementing various bicycle, pedestrian, and bus shelter improvements, and a foreclosure/eviction and landlord anti-harassment counseling program (“Anti-Displacement Services”) by the end of 2030. The City’s direct award amount is detailed in the table below.
City Projects/Program Award Amount
CIP-14057 West Cap. Ave. Regional Connection Bike/Ped Safety Improvements $374,000 CIP-14056 STEP (Project 3 – Broderick) $2,482,000
CIP-16013 North 5th Street Connectivity and Complete Street $1,893,000 CIP-11045 AHSC Bus Shelter Improvements $1,001,000
Anti-Displacement Services $150,000
Total $5,900,000
In addition to working with the Grand Gateway affordable housing developers on the AHSC Grant Program application and implementation, City staff have continued to meet with SKK related to the Grand Gateway market-rate development, parking structure, and other public amenities. Some of the project components, including key infrastructure required to serve the project and the shared-use parking structure, warrant further analysis to advance project designs and financing options. Because of this, some City obligations originally included in the ENA are proposed to be shifted to a later phase of the project.
ANALYSIS
The actions requested in this report will facilitate the acceptance of AHSC grant funds furthering the implementation of the Streetcar Project and related local transportation improvements, and continued efforts on the Grand Gateway Development in coordination with the affordable housing development team and SKK.
AHSC Resolution
To receive AHSC grant funds, HCD requires that local agency awardees adopt a resolution indicating that the awardee will execute AHSC program agreements as deemed necessary by HCD. To address this grant requirement, staff recommends Council adopt Resolution 26-13 included as Attachment 1.
Grand Gateway ENA Second Amendment
As mentioned in the Background section of this report, Council approved the First Amendment to the Grand Gateway ENA on April 30, 2025, to facilitate the AHSC Grant Program application and extend the ENA period through March 31, 2026, to better align with the AHSC grant process.
Based on additional AHSC grant award requirements and progress made to date on the larger Grand Gateway project, staff recommends approving a Second Amendment to the Grand Gateway ENA that results in the following changes:
ENA Time Extension – Staff proposes extending the ENA term from March 31, 2026, to June 30, 2027, to better align with the AHSC grant requirements and to complete studies required to inform the larger project. 545
Resolution 26-13 AHSC and Grand Gateway ENA Amendment
March 18, 2026
Add Affordable Housing Developer Entity – Since HVPG is now ESC’s development partner on the AHSC grant funded affordable housing development site located at 817 West Capitol Avenue, the ENA must be amended to include HVPG as a development partner and for consistency with the AHSC conditional award. Adjusted Subdivision and Final Map Requirements – The affordable housing site is a standalone parcel and not subject to parcel boundary issues affecting other Grand Gateway properties. Because of this, staff recommends removing the affordable housing site parcel from the larger Grand Gateway project subdivision and final map process to ensure the project can move forward independently and comply with the stringent timelines related to the AHSC grant award. A subdivision and final map will be required for the disposition and development of the remaining parcels.
Environmental Considerations
The actions recommended in this item are not a project subject to CEQA because they are not an activity that may cause either a direct or foreseeable physical change in the environment (Pub. Resources Code, §21065; CEQA Guidelines §§15060(c), 15378(a)). Projects supported by these actions have completed environmental review or will prior to receiving grant funds.
Commission Recommendation
No commission recommendation was solicited due to AHSC resolution adoption deadlines.
Strategic Plan Integration
The recommended actions are consistent with multiple City Council Strategic Plan goals, including the 2021- 2025 Strategic Priorities of Light Rail Extension/Transit Expansion and the 2021-2025 Management Priorities of Grand Gateway Development; and the 2021 Strategic Priority and 2022 Management Priority of Mobility Action Plan Implementation. The recommended actions further support the City‘s mission statement: “to provide Quality Municipal Services, Quality City Infrastructure and Facilities, and to Inspire Community Improvements that add value to the lives of our residents.”
Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives to the recommended actions include:
1. Elect to not adopt Resolution 26-13 authorizing the City to receive AHSC grant funds and execute related agreements with HCD for the MOSA Apartment Homes at Gateway project; and/or
2. Elect to not approve Grand Gateway ENA Second Amendment.
Alternatives 1 and 2 are not recommended as they would eliminate potential funding to support the Grand Gateway Development, Streetcar Project, and other local transportation improvements. Additionally, modifications to the ENA are needed to accommodate AHSC grant award requirements and to provide staff and the development team sufficient time to determine the most feasible approach to financing and delivering the Grand Gateway project. This will facilitate staff’s immediate steps of executing an Option Agreement with the affordable housing development team for purposes of applying for affordable housing tax credits this year. Staff will return to Council for this approval in Spring 2026.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Economic Development and Housing Department in coordination with the Community Development Department, City Attorney and City Manager’s Office.
Budget/Cost Impact
There are no budget impacts associated with the recommended actions. Funding appropriations for the CIPs included in the grant award will be finalized through the City’s annual budget process. As the ENA and related due diligence process commences, additional data will be obtained to inform pricing and terms of disposing of the property, which will be shared with Council at a later date.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2026 ITEM # 6
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 26-22 AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR, AND
RECEIPT OF, PROHOUSING INCENTIVE PROGRAM FUNDS
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [ X ] Staff
[ ] Other
Tanya Flores, Assistant Community Investment Planner
Economic Development and Housing
ATTACHMENT [ X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ X ] Action
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the Council with information needed to consider adoption of Resolution 26-22 (Attachment 1) approving an application to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for the Prohousing Incentive Program and other related actions.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution 26-22 approving the submittal of an application for the Prohousing Incentive Program; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute and deliver the application and related documents and, if funded, execute a Standard Agreement, all amendments thereto, and any other related documents.
BACKGROUND
In December 2022, the City of West Sacramento received a Prohousing Designation from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This designation recognizes jurisdictions that comply with state housing laws and adopt local prohousing policies exceeding statutory requirements. The designation provides incentives such as additional points or preference in competitive HCD-administered housing, community development, and infrastructure funding programs, and eligibility for the Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP).
In March 2023, the City applied for PIP funding to support operations of the Homekey Program at 817 West Capitol Avenue (former Rodeway Inn), which provides emergency housing for approximately 60 unhoused individuals along with case management and limited food services, with the goal of transitioning participants to permanent housing. The application was successful, and the City was awarded $970,000, the maximum available for jurisdictions of similar population. The PIP Standard Agreement was executed in September 2023, and funds were used for operational costs including utilities, security, maintenance, and case management. PIP funds have been leveraged with other sources, including the Homeless and Housing Assistance Program (HHAP), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and local Measure E funds.
The City applied for additional PIP funding in March 2024 (Round 2) and December 2024 (Round 3), requesting $1 million in each round. Both applications were unsuccessful due to limited funding, as priority in Rounds 2 and 3 was given to jurisdictions that had not previously received PIP awards.
ANALYSIS
On September 30, 2025, HCD released a Notice of Funding Availability for Round 4 of the PIP. Applications are due March 31, 2026. The City is eligible to apply for a base award of $500,000, plus up to an additional $450,000 bonus based on HCD’s evaluation of the City’s prohousing policies. Jurisdictions that did not receive PIP funding in Rounds 1 through 3 will receive priority consideration in Round 4. Eligible uses of funds include, but are not limited to:
Predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation and preservation of multifamily rental housing that is affordable to extremely low-, very low-, and moderate-income households, including operating subsidies.
Affordable rental and ownership housing that meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120% of area median income.
552
Prohousing Incentive Program Resolution 26-22
March 18, 2026
Assisting people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, navigation centers, emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.
Homeownership opportunities, including but not limited to, down payment assistance.
The City currently operates a Homeless Emergency Housing Program at four locations: 817 West Capitol Avenue (Homekey Program), 920 West Capitol Avenue, 1809 West Capitol Avenue, and 1812 Merkley Avenue.
In addition, the City acquired the Westwood Motel at 1841 West Capitol Avenue in 2025 to support expansion of the City’s homeless emergency housing program. At any given time, more than 100 individuals are served by the Homeless Emergency Housing Program.
To support ongoing operations of the City’s Homeless Emergency Housing Program, staff recommends submitting a PIP Round 4 application under the “assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness” funding category. If awarded, PIP funds would provide critical operational support for these sites and would help fund services such as case management, security and housing navigation, among others. Staff will continue to pursue additional funding sources to ensure continuity of services to program participants.
Environmental Considerations
This action is not a project subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)
Commission Recommendation
No commission recommendation was solicited due to application deadlines.
Strategic Plan Integration
The application aligns with the Council’s Strategic Plan Goals of facilitating housing production and housing options for everyone including the most vulnerable members of our community.
Alternatives
The following alternatives to the recommended action are submitted for the Council’s consideration:
1. Elect to not adopt Resolution 26-22 authorizing submittal of the PIP Program application; and/or
2. Modify the proposed scope of the PIP Program application.
Alternatives 1 and 2 are not recommended as they would eliminate potential funding to support ongoing operations of the Homeless Emergency Housing Program.
Coordination and Review
This report was coordinated with the City Manager’s Office and the Police Department’s Community Outreach and Support Division staff.
Budget/Cost Impact
If funded, the PIP Program application will generate up to $950,000 to support the Homeless Emergency Housing Program. The PIP Program does not require a local match.

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 26-1 AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT
FUNDING FROM THE OUTDOOR RECREATION LEGACY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
FOR THE BRYTE PARK IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [ X ] Staff

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to facilitate City Council consideration of Resolution 26-1 authorizing the acceptance of $15,000,000 in grant funding from the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program grant funding for the Bryte Park Master Plan Implementation Project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the acceptance of $15 million of grant funding from the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Program for the Bryte Park Master Plan Implementation Project;
2. Adopt Resolution 26-1 appropriating the $15 million ORLP grant funds and $604,178 from the Childcare Impact Fee fund to CIP 62138; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute, on the behalf of the City, any and all contracts and agreements necessary to satisfy the terms of the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program grant.
BACKGROUND
Bryte Park is located in the northern portion of the City and is the most heavily used and programmed park in the City. The property is owned by Washington Unified School District (WUSD) but is improved and maintained by the City through a Joint Use Facilities Agreement. On January 9, 2013, the City Council adopted the Bryte Park Master Plan (BPMP), which was the result of a robust community engagement effort, developed in coordination with over 200 community members and stakeholders. The original Master Plan spanned three properties: Bryte Park, Alyce Norman Playfields/Bryte Career and College Training Campus, and Holy Cross School. The 2013 BPMP served as a roadmap to help the City leverage local, state and federal resources to implement improvements. In early 2015, the City partnered with the Walt Disney Company, KaBoom! and over 500 volunteers to plan and build a new playground in Bryte Park (Phase 1). In spring 2016, the City constructed another phase of improvements, including on-site parking, lighting, landscaping, new restrooms, a covered BBQ and picnic area, shade structure for the play area and road crossing improvements on Carrie Street (Phase 2).
The City’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Master Plan was approved by City Council on April 17, 2019, and provides a comprehensive approach for planning, funding, developing, and maintaining parks and recreation facilities and programs over the next 10 years. Updating and implementing the BPMP was included in the PROS 10-Year Capital Improvement Program. To further support this work, the City’s 2019 Strategic Plan included as a Management Agenda High Priority item: “Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan Implementation.
In June 2023, the City Council approved a contract with Verde Design Inc. to complete 100% Design and Construction Documents for the Bryte Park Master Plan Implementation Project. Following this approval, additional community engagement meetings and discussions with City staff led to several key refinements to the plan, including the addition of an aquatics facility with a pool, expanded landscaping and green space, increased accessible walking and running paths, adjustments to the locations of the pool and splash pad seating, and the inclusion of an outdoor amphitheater. Other updates included additional restrooms, a larger maintenance yard with a separate entrance, a handball court, and a relocated outdoor classroom.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) provides funding to preserve and develop outdoor recreation resources, including parks, trails, and wildlife lands. Congress created the fund in 1965 with the passage of the 555
Consideration of Resolution 26-1
March 18, 2026
Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, which authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to provide financial assistance to states for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas. Because the intent of this program is to preserve and protect our natural resources, a requirement of the grant is that any park funded for acquisition of development using LWCF grant funding must be dedicated in perpetuity for public outdoor recreation.
ANALYSIS
In January 2024, the City applied for a $15 million grant through the Outdoor Recreation and Legacy Program (ORLP), funded by the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for the implementation of the Bryte Park Master Plan. In September 2024, the City received a conditional grant award of a $15 million, pending completion of post-award requirements. This grant presents a unique opportunity, providing funding for both land acquisition and development. Since receiving the grant award notification, the City has completed the post-award requirements, including Section 106, NEPA, and CEQA compliance, while also collaborating with the Washington Unified School District on the acquisition of land for Bryte Park. A significant portion of the Bryte Park Implementation Project improvements will be used for after school programs for children, which are eligible to be funded using the City’s Childcare Impact Fees. Staff propose that $604,178 from the Childcare Impact Fund be used to finance some of the eligible improvements at Bryte Park.
Environmental Considerations
On October 5, 2016, the City Council approved the Bryte Park Master Plan Improvements Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. A CEQA Addendum to the MND was filed with the State Clearinghouse on March 5, 2026. Federal NEPA and Section 106 reviews required for the grant have been completed in accordance with grant requirements.
Commission Recommendation
On December 3, 2024, City staff presented the Bryte Park Master Plan Implementation Project to the Parks, Recreation, and Intergenerational Services Commission, who expressed support for the acquisition of and improvements to Bryte Park.
Strategic Plan Integration
Accepting the grant funding for the Bryte Park Implementation Project supports the City Council’s Strategic Goal of “Parks and Open Spaces: Provide diverse outdoor options for recreation and communing with nature at any age.” It also supports the 2019 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan Implementation by ensuring the Park Impact Fee and funding from other funding sources, including grants, are pursued to maintain the current level of service for parks and recreation within the community.
Alternatives
In addition to the recommended action, the City Council could:
1. Choose not to approve Resolution 26-1 and not accept the grant funding.
2. Choose to delay the approval.
Options #1 and #2 are not recommended since this could jeopardize the ability to complete the Bryte Park Master Plan Implementation Project.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared in coordination with Capital Projects, Community Development and Finance departments, the City Manager’s Office, and the City Attorney.
Budget/Cost Impact
Resolution 26-1 authorizes the acceptance of $15 million LWCF ORLP grant funding which will be added to the Bryte Park Master Plan Improvements Project (CIP-62138) budget in addition to $604,178 in Childcare Impact Fee funding to cover eligible costs. The project has a current budget of $15,525,000. The addition of the funds in Resolution 26-1 will bring the total project budget to $31,129,178 before approval of the iBank loan. The iBank loan, once approved, is intended to fully fund the entire Bryte Park Master Plan Implementation project.

C. The term “Secretary” as used herein means the Secretary of the Interior, or any representative lawfully delegated the authority to act for such Secretary.
D. The term “State” as used herein means the State, Territory, or District of Columbia that is a party to the project agreement, and, where applicable, the political subdivision or public agency to which funds are to be subawarded pursuant to this agreement.
Wherever a term, condition, obligation, or requirement refers to the State, such term, condition, obligation, or requirement shall also apply to the recipient political subdivision or public agency, except where it is clear from the nature of the term, condition, obligation, or requirement that it is to apply solely to the State. For purposes of these provisions, the terms “State,” “grantee,” and “recipient” are deemed synonymous.
E. The term “Land and Water Conservation Fund” or “LWCF” as used herein means the Financial Assistance to States section of the LWCF Act (Public Law 88-578, 78 Stat 897, codified at 54 U.S.C. § 2003), which is administered by the NPS.
F. The term “Manual” as used herein means the Land and Water Conservation Fund State Assistance Program Manual, Volume 71 (March 11, 2021).
G. The term “project” as used herein means a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant which is subject to the grant agreement and/or its subsequent amendments.
Part II - Continuing Assurances
The parties to the grant agreement specifically recognize that accepting LWCF assistance for the project creates an obligation to maintain the property described in the agreement and supporting application documentation consistent with the LWCF Act and the following requirements.
Further, it is the acknowledged intent of the parties hereto that recipients of LWCF assistance will use monies granted hereunder for the purposes of this program, and that assistance granted from the LWCF will result in a net increase, commensurate at least with the Federal cost-share, in a participant's outdoor recreation.
It is intended by both parties hereto that the LWCF assistance will be added to, rather than replace or be substituted for, State and/or local outdoor recreation funds.
A. The State agrees, as recipient of the LWCF assistance, that it will meet the LWCF General Provisions, and the terms and provisions as contained or referenced in, or Docusign Envelope ID: 536779D3-6752-4762-AC92-8C10E48E7140 562
2 attached to, the NPS grant agreement and that it will further impose these terms and provisions upon any political subdivision or public agency to which funds are subawarded pursuant to the grant agreement. The State also agrees that it shall be responsible for compliance with the terms and provisions of the agreement by such a political subdivision or public agency and that failure by such political subdivision or public agency to so comply shall be deemed a failure by the State to comply.
B. The State agrees that the property described in the grant agreement and depicted on the signed and dated project boundary map made part of that agreement is being acquired or developed with LWCF assistance, or is integral to such acquisition or development, and that, without the approval of the Secretary, it shall not be converted to other than public outdoor recreation use but shall be maintained in public outdoor recreation in perpetuity or for the term of the lease in the case of property leased from a federal agency. The Secretary shall approve such conversion only if it is found to be in accord with the then existing statewide comprehensive outdoor recreation plan and only upon such conditions deemed necessary to assure the substitution of other recreation properties of at least equal fair market value and of reasonably equivalent usefulness and location (54 U.S.C. 200305(f)(3)). The LWCF post-completion compliance regulations at 36 C.F.R. Part 59provide further requirements. The replacement land then becomes subject to LWCF protection. The approval of a conversion shall be at the sole discretion of the Secretary, or her/his designee.
Prior to the completion of this project, the State and the Director may mutually agree to alter the area described in the grant agreement and depicted in the signed and dated project boundary map to provide the most satisfactory public outdoor recreation unit, except that acquired parcels are afforded LWCF protection as Fund reimbursement is provided.
In the event the NPS provides LWCF assistance for the acquisition and/or development of property with full knowledge that the project is subject to reversionary rights and outstanding interests, conversion of said property to other than public outdoor recreation use as a result of such right or interest being exercised will occur. In receipt of this approval, the State agrees to notify the NPS of the potential conversion as soon as possible and to seek approval of replacement property in accord with the conditions set forth in these provisions and the program regulations. The provisions of this paragraph are also applicable to: leased properties developed with LWCF assistance where such lease is terminated prior to its full term due to the existence of provisions in such lease known and agreed to by the NPS; and properties subject to other outstanding rights and interests that may result in a conversion when known and agreed to by the NPS.
C. The State agrees that the benefit to be derived by the United States from the full compliance by the State with the terms of this agreement is the preservation, protection, and the net increase in the quality and quantity of public outdoor recreation facilities and resources which are available to the people of the State and of the United States, and such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the United States by way of assistance under the terms of this agreement. The State agrees that payment by the State to the United States of an amount equal to the amount of assistance extended under this agreement by the United Docusign Envelope ID: 536779D3-6752-4762-AC92-8C10E48E7140 563
3 States would be inadequate compensation to the United States for any breach by the State of this agreement.
The State further agrees, therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the State of this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement or the submission and approval of a conversion request as described in Section II.B above.
D. The State agrees to comply with the policies and procedures set forth in the Manual.
Provisions of said Manual are incorporated into and made a part of the project grant agreement.
E. The State agrees that the property and facilities described in the grant agreement shall be operated and maintained as prescribed by Manual requirements and published post-completion compliance regulations (36 C.F.R. Part 59).
F. The State agrees that a notice of the grant agreement shall be recorded in the public property records (e.g., registry of deeds or similar) of the jurisdiction in which the property is located, to the effect that the property described and shown in the scope of the grant agreement and the signed and dated project boundary map made part of the agreement, has been acquired or developed with LWCF assistance and that it cannot be converted to other than public outdoor recreation use without the written approval of the Secretary as described in Part II.B. above.
G. Nondiscrimination
1. By signing the LWCF agreement, the State certifies that it will comply with all Federal laws relating to nondiscrimination as outlined in Section V of the Department of the Interior Standard Award Terms and Conditions.
2. The State shall not discriminate against any person on the basis of residence, except to the extent that reasonable differences in admission or other fees may be maintained on the basis of residence as set forth in 54 U.S.C. § 200305(i) and the Manual.

K. Build America, Buy America
As required by Section 70914 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), P.L. 117-58, on or after May 14, 2022, none of the funds under a federal award that are part of Federal financial assistance program for infrastructure may be obligated for a project unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in the project are produced in the United States, unless subject to an approved waiver. The requirements of this section must be included in all subawards, including all contracts and purchase orders for work or products under this program.
Recipients of an award of Federal financial assistance are hereby notified that none of the funds provided under this award may be used for a project for infrastructure unless:
1. all iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States--this means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;
2. all manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States —this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable law or regulation; and
3. all construction materials are manufactured in the United States—this means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States.
The Buy America preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within Docusign Envelope ID: 536779D3-6752-4762-AC92-8C10E48E7140 571
11 the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.
For further information on the Buy America preference, please visit www.doi.gov/grants/BuyAmerica. Additional information can also be found at the White House Made in America Office website: www.whitehouse.gov/omb/management/madeinamerica/.
Waivers
When necessary, recipients may apply for, and the Department of the Interior (DOI) may grant, a waiver from these requirements, subject to review by the Made in America Office.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2026 ITEM # 8
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE FY 2024 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM (HSGP) – URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE (UASI) SUBAWARD OF $21,241 FOR THE PURCHASE OF EOD EQUIPMENT AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 26-14 ACCEPTING AND APPROPRIATING FUNDING FOR THE GRANT INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [ X ] Staff

ATTACHMENT [ X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ X ] Action
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with information needed to consider acceptance of the FY/2024 Homeland Security Grant Program-Urban Area Security Initiative subaward for $21,241, which will fund the purchase of EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) equipment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends the Council:
1. Adopt resolution 26-14 authorizing the acceptance of the FY 2024 Homeland Security Grant ProgramUrban Area Security Initiative subaward for $21,241; and
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all grant-related documents, contracts and purchase orders for the purchases related to the grant.
BACKGROUND
The Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) is a component of the Homeland Security Grant Program (Federal Assistance Listing #97.067), established under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to provide federal funding to the most populous metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) based on an assessment of terrorism risk. The purpose of the UASI Program is to assist high-threat, high-density urban areas in developing, sustaining, and enhancing capabilities to prevent, protect against, prepare for, and respond to acts of terrorism and other hazards.
A pass-through grant process has allocated $21,241 to the City for the purpose of enhancing their communication capabilities and increasing officer survivability when responding to incidents requiring the remote opening, examining, and/or handling or potential explosive threats, as well as the mitigation, suppression, and deflection of triggered/initiated explosive ordinance.
ANALYSIS
The West Sacramento Police Department requires the applicable Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) equipment to enhance officer and public safety by enabling better remote opening, examination, and handling of suspected explosive devices while mitigating, suppressing, or deflecting potential blasts. These tools—such as remote examination systems, protective headsets, blast-resistant handling gear, and tactical electronics— provide critical standoff capabilities that reduce risk to personnel during investigation and neutralization of hazardous materials. With this equipment, the West Sacramento Police Department can more effectively respond to explosive threats, minimize disruption to the community, and protect first responders from injury, thereby addressing current gaps in our EOD response capabilities and aligning with best practices in public safety. Without these upgrades, responders remain at increased risk when approaching or manipulating suspicious devices, potentially leading to preventable injuries, property damage, and prolonged scene closures.
UASI funds are allocated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to State Administrative Agencies (SAAs), which in turn distribute subawards to eligible local jurisdictions. The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) serves as the SAA for the State of California and has been awarded a FY 2024 UASI allocation in the amount of $2,820,672 to the Sacramento urban area, which includes Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer and Yolo counties. The UASI Program is locally administered by the Sacramento Police Department through its Regional Office of Homeland Security and is authorized to subaward UASI funding to regional stakeholders for the continued implementation of program goals and objectives.
The City was notified in January 2026 that a $21,241 subaward was approved for the EOD equipment and a grant agreement was provided for effectuating the purchase. (See Attachment 1). The identified equipment was 575
UASI Grant for EOD Equipment

selected by the UASI regional agencies based on their interoperability and demonstrated success in improving the survivability of officers conducting EOD operations.
The period of performance for the grant is March 15, 2026, through March 15, 2027, and funds for the purchase of the equipment will be subsequently reimbursed.
Environmental Considerations
This action is not a project that is subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, 21065; CEQA Guidelines 15600(c), 15378(a).
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Integration
This action furthers the city’s strategic plan of ensuring our community is “Safe and Secure”.
Alternatives
1. The Council may choose not to authorize the acceptance of the grant award and related purchase of the equipment.
2. The Council may choose to purchase the Peregrine software with alternative City funds.
Coordination and Review
This report was coordinated and reviewed by Police Department, City Manager’s Office and Finance Staff.
Budget/Cost Impact
Resolution 26-14 appropriates the HSGP-UASI grant funding to use for the purchase of the Peregrine software.
The funding awarded through the HSGP-UASI grant will reimburse the City of West Sacramento following the purchase of the Peregrine software.

Attachment 2
RESOLUTION 26-14
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO APPROVING THE ACCEPTANCE AND APPROPRIATION OF THE FY 2024 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM (HSGP) – URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE (UASI) SUBAWARD OF $21,241 FOR THE PURCHASE OF EOD EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) is a component of the Homeland Security Grant Program (Federal Assistance Listing #97.067), established under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to provide federal funding to the most populous metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) based on an assessment of terrorism risk. The purpose of the UASI Program is to assist high-threat, high-density urban areas in developing, sustaining, and enhancing capabilities to prevent, protect against, prepare for, and respond to acts of terrorism and other hazards; and WHEREAS, a pass-through grant process has allocated $21,241 to the City for the purpose of enhancing their communication capabilities and increasing officer survivability when responding to incidents requiring the remote opening, examining, and/ or handling or potential explosive threats, as well as the mitigation, suppression, and deflection of triggered/ initiated explosive ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the West Sacramento Police Department requires the applicable Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) equipment to enhance officer and public safety by enabling better remote opening, examination, and handling of suspected explosive devices while mitigating, suppressing, or deflecting potential blasts. These tools—such as remote examination systems, protective headsets, blast-resistant handling gear, and tactical electronics—provide critical standoff capabilities that reduce risk to personnel during investigation and neutralization of hazardous materials. With this equipment, the West Sacramento Police Department can more effectively respond to explosive threats, minimize disruption to the community, and protect first responders from injury, thereby addressing current gaps in our EOD response capabilities and aligning with best practices in public safety. Without these upgrades, responders remain at increased risk when approaching or manipulating suspicious devices, potentially leading to preventable injuries, property damage, and prolonged scene closures; and WHEREAS, UASI funds are allocated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to State Administrative Agencies (SAAs), which in turn distribute subawards to eligible local jurisdictions. The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) serves as the SAA for the State of California and has been awarded a FY2024 UASI allocation in the amount of $2,820,672 to the Sacramento urban area, which includes Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer and Yolo counties.
The UASI Program is locally administered by the Sacramento Police Department through its Regional Office of Homeland Security and is authorized to subaward UASI funding to regional stakeholders for the continued implementation of program goals and objectives; and WHEREAS, the City was notified in January 2026 that a $21,241 subaward was approved for the EOD equipment and a grant agreement was provided for effectuating the purchase. (See attachment 1). The identified equipment was selected by the UASI regional agencies based on their interoperability and demonstrated success in improving the survivability of officers conducting EOD operations; and
WHEREAS, the period of performance for the grant is March 15, 2026, through March 15, 2027, and funds for the purchase of the equipment will be subsequently reimbursed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of West Sacramento as follows:
644
Resolution 26-14 Attachment 2
1. The City Council hereby approves the acceptance of the grant subaward.
2. The City Council hereby approves amendments to the Operations and Maintenance budget for fiscal year 2025-2026 as listed below.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF POLICE DEPARTMENT MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE ANNUAL
REPORT AFFIRMING RENEWAL OF
ORDINANCE 22-16
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Dea Pugh, Police Support Services Manager
Police Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to comply with current AB 481 regulations, which require that law enforcement agencies obtain approval from the applicable governing body for the funding, acquisition, collaboration or other use of “military equipment” as defined by Section 7070(c).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council:
1. Receive the Police Department military equipment use policy and annual report;
2. Accept public comments concerning the report; and
3. Affirm renewal of Ordinance 22-16.
BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), codified at Government Code (GC) Sections 7070 through 7075 (“AB 481”), requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval from the applicable governing body prior to taking any action related to funding, acquisition, collaboration, or other use of “military equipment”, as that term is defined by Section 7070(c).
The West Sacramento Police Department (WSPD) currently has equipment defined in AB 481 and codified in GC Sections 7070 through 7075 as “military equipment” in its reserves. Throughout history, up to and including the present, WSPD has found it necessary from time to time, to use this equipment in order to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare, as well as that of WSPD officers, in the most efficient and communityconscious manner.
Specifically, the military equipment is used when WSPD officers face gunfire for prolonged incidents. Such ballistic equipment allows more opportunities to de-escalate the situation by, for instance, equipping tactical teams to resolve life threatening conditions in the safest way possible for all involved, including the community, the suspect, victims, bystanders and officers. Although some of the weaponry and other devices may be used infrequently, their availability expands the choices of non-lethal or less-lethal options for the large variety of dynamic and dangerous encounters faced in our city and profession. Limiting those choices without careful analysis could lead to decreasing options of relevant, contemporary interventions that can allow for deescalation, decrease the severity of violence and reduce harm overall.
To comply with AB 481, the Police Chief must obtain City Council approval by way of an ordinance adopting a Military Equipment Use Policy (Policy) as defined in Section 7070(d), that delineates the authorized military equipment and its purpose and use, and associated fiscal impact, legal and procedural rules, and requisite training. Additionally, the Policy is to include mechanisms to ensure compliance with the Policy, the procedures by which members of the public may register complaints or concerns, and how WSPD will ensure that each complaint, concern or question receives a timely response.
AB 481 allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition and use of military equipment within its jurisdiction, only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards outlined in GC 7071 as follows:
1. The military equipment as defined by California Government Code section 7070(c) identified in the Policy is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
646
AB 481 Military Equipment Use
March 18, 2026
2. The Policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
3. The current military equipment identified in the Policy and the purchasing of any future military equipment on the list of approved military equipment is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
4. Prior military equipment use complied with the use policy that was in effect at the time.
On April 20, 2022, Staff presented for first reading Ordinance 22-16 and on May 18, 2022, subsequent to Staff’s presentation of a second reading, Ordinance 22-16 was adopted, approving Police Department Military Equipment Use Policy 709 and the use, acquisition, collaboration and seeking of funding for military equipment. (See Attachments 2 and 3) The adoption of Ordinance 22-16 was based upon determinations consistent with the required standards for approval as outlined in GC7071. (See attachment 4).
In December of 2023, March of 2024, and April of 2025 public hearings were conducted and the continuance of Ordinance 22-16 was approved. The associated Policy 709 and the Annual Military Equipment Use Report were received by Council per regulations. The Police Department also underwent a State Program Compliance Inspection from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) on January 6, 2026. The department demonstrated they were compliant with the LESO Program and the State Plan of Operations. (See attachment 5). The Police Department is currently seeking to again comply with GC 7071, which requires the governing body at a regular Council meeting to annually review Ordinance 22-16 and vote on whether to renew the Ordinance.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to GC 7072, a law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy shall submit to the governing body annually a “military equipment use report” for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body to include:
1. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
2. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.
3. The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response.
4. The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
5. The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment.
6. If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
The governing body shall determine, based on the annual military equipment use report, whether each type of military equipment identified in the report has complied with the standards for approval. If the governing body determines that a type of military equipment identified in the annual military equipment use report has not complied with the standards for approval, the governing body shall either disapprove renewal of the authorization for that type of military equipment or require modifications to the military equipment use policy in a manner that will resolve the lack of compliance. The Police Department’s annual Military Equipment Use Report to Council is included as Attachment 1 of this report.
Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing an annual military equipment report, WSPD is required to hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and WSPD’s funding, acquisition or use of military equipment. On March 8, 2026, the Police Department held an open house for the public to view the Department’s military equipment. This provided an opportunity for the public to ask questions and provide feedback.
As per regulation, WSPD conducted an internal audit and determined that there have been no violations of the Military Equipment Use Policy.

On September 30, 2021, Assembly Bill 481 was signed into law. It requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval for the use of certain items defined as “military equipment” from the applicable governing body (City Council), by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The West Sacramento Police Department is required to seek City Council approval of its Military Equipment Use Policy at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment.
Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment within its jurisdiction, only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The Military Equipment Use Policy is subject to City Council review to determine whether the standards set forth in Assembly Bill 481 have been met, based upon an Annual Military Equipment Use Report.
Finally, Assembly Bill 481 requires publication of the Military Equipment Use Policy and the Annual Military Equipment Use Report on the Department’s website. (Assembly Bill 481) California Government Code section 7072 states the following:
(a) A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The annual military equipment report shall, at a minimum, include the following information for the immediately preceding calendar year for each type of military equipment:
(1) A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use. (2) A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment. (3) The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response.
(4) The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
(5) The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. 649
(6) If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment. (b) Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing an annual military equipment report pursuant to this section, the law enforcement agency shall hold at least one well publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.
In addition to maintaining the highest levels of public safety, the West Sacramento Police Department is committed to transparency, public trust, community partnerships, and compliance with the law.

Return any LESO property that is not being used, and have the screnners create accounts in RTD so they can search for and aquire equipment for their LEA. Also have all screeners attend our LESO Virtual Training.
Once their updated application is approved I will send guides on how to create the accounts needed for RTD so they can search for and requisitining property so their LEA can benefit from all that the Program has to offer. I will also send out the dates for our Virtual Training.
I want to thank Detective Coulter, Ms Pugh and the entire West Sac PD for their excellent job in preparing for this PCR. Their communication and cooperation leading up to and day of inspection were ideal. The West Sacramento Police Department demonstrated they are compliant with the LESO Program and requirements listed in the SPO.
West Sacramento PD maintains their LESO Property with the proper care and has multiple security features in place with only authorized personnel having access. ECR Cards were viewed that are required for their controlled property.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2026 ITEM # 10
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF A LOAN AGREEMENT WITH THE CAPITAL
AREA REGIONAL TOLLING AUTHORITY FOR A LOAN FROM THE
MEASURE V FUND OF UP TO $14 MILLION FOR STARTUP OPERATIONS INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [ X ] Staff
[ ] Other
Aaron Laurel, City Manager
City Manager’s Office
ATTACHMENT [ X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ X ] Action
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to effectuate a loan from the City’s Measure V fund to the Capital Area Regional Tolling Authority (CARTA) to enable CARTA to fund startup operations and implement toll revenue service within the Interstate 80 corridor through Yolo County.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Loan Agreement with CARTA in a form approved by the City Attorney;
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make non-substantive changes or modifications to the Loan Agreement and its attachments with the approval of the City Attorney; and
3. Adopt Resolution 26-25, appropriating funds in FY 2025-26 from Measure V (Fund 109) unencumbered balance for the loan to CARTA.
BACKGROUND
The Capital Area Regional Tolling Authority (CARTA) was established in January 2024 as the authority to develop and operate toll roads in the Sacramento region. CARTA is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) established between the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), the Yolo Transportation District (YTD), and Caltrans. The CARTA board is currently comprised of five members, including two each appointed by SACOG and YTD and one appointed by Caltrans. The JPA was set up in conjunction with the construction of the Yolo 80 project, which is under construction through a partnership between Caltrans and YTD, and includes toll lanes traversing from Davis to West Sacramento at the Interstate 80/Highway 50 split (see Attachment 1 for additional background on CARTA and the Yolo 80 managed lanes project).
As subsequent toll facilities are developed on other highway segments throughout the greater Sacramento region, it is anticipated that the Sacramento Transportation Authority, Placer County Transportation Planning Agency, and El Dorado County Transportation Commission will join as voting members of the CARTA JPA.
These agencies currently have non-voting seats on the CARTA board. The overall goal of this regional approach to implementing managed lanes is to ensure operational efficiency and a seamless customer experience as the network of toll lanes expands across multiple counties.
CARTA’s primary purpose is to install, own, operate, and maintain the tolling equipment on regional projects like Yolo 80; however, CARTA does not plan, design, or construct the actual highway projects or their toll lanes.
These projects are planned and constructed by Caltrans in partnership with other regional transportation agencies like YTD. Additionally, CARTA’s role includes collecting toll revenue and performing customer service for toll lane customers.
Revenue from toll lanes is required by law to be used for costs related to operating and maintaining the toll system, and other related expenses including debt service. Revenue collected in excess of these costs must be used within the corridor where the revenue is generated and expended on transportation-related purposes such as transit, alternative transportation, and reinvestment into the transportation system.
CARTA anticipates beginning the collection of toll revenue in 2028 following the completion of the Yolo 80 project, with revenue fully ramping up in 2030. At that point, toll revenues are expected to fully fund CARTA’s long-term operations, debt service obligations, and will also provide substantial excess revenue for transportation investments within the corridor. To reach this milestone, in the meantime CARTA must incur significant startup costs such as hiring an Executive Director, consultants, developing and implementing the toll system, and 702
