CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 26-55 AUTHORIZING CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A BROADBAND FIBER HUT AT 412 NORTH HARBOR BOULEVARD (APN: 014-791-002)

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to adopt Resolution 26-55 authorizing City Manager to execute a lease agreement with the California Department of Technology (CDT) to construct and operate a broadband fiber hut at 412 North Harbor Boulevard (APN: 014-791-002).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Find that approval of a lease agreement with the California Department of Technology is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15060(c) and 15378(a);
2) Adopt Resolution 26-55 authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a lease agreement with the California Department of Technology;
3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute non-substantive changes or modifications to the lease agreement, with approval from the City Attorney; and 4) Delegate authority to the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to modify the term of the lease agreement, if necessary.
BACKGROUND
The City of West Sacramento owns 412 North Harbor Boulevard. The property is bounded by North Harbor Boulevard to the north, Interstate 80 to the east, and Yolo Shortline Railroad to the south and west. The site is maintained by the Public Works Operations & Maintenance Department and contains utilities such as natural gas lines, raw water lines, and an electrical motor control center for electrical power lines.
In April 2024, the California Department of Technology expressed interest in entering into a long-term lease agreement to construct a broadband fiber hut and all necessary infrastructure at 412 North Harbor Boulevard as part of the State of California Middle Mile Broadband Initiative (MMBI), which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom through Senate Bill 156. The goal of SB 156 is to create an open-access middle-mile network to bring equitable high-speed broadband service to all Californians, supported by $3.25 billion in funding to build the necessary infrastructure to bring internet connectivity to homes, businesses and community institutions. The purpose of the initiative is to provide high speed broadband to unserved and underserved communities in California.
ANALYSIS
City staff and representatives from the California Department of Technology have been engaged in discussions to construct a broadband fiber hut that meets the needs of the state project in a favorable location. 412 North Harbor Boulevard was determined to be a compatible site for the project as it sits on the northern edge of the city and connects the already installed broadband infrastructure from the northern part of the state to the Sacramento region. The broadband infrastructure will ultimately continue through the city and run through the Central Valley, with sections already constructed in Southern California, as part of a state goal to eventually connect the broadband infrastructure across the entire state. 185

Under the proposed Agreement, CDT will be responsible for the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and eventual removal of all broadband infrastructure, equipment, and associated improvements installed within the leased premises. The agreement is not anticipated to create any additional maintenance costs or operational responsibilities for the City related to the facility, and CDT will be responsible for repairing any damage caused by its operations in accordance with the terms of the agreement. CDT has initiated communication with the City’s Building Division to acquire all necessary permits to construct a broadband fiber hut and all necessary infrastructure. The project will tap into existing utilities on site. All improvements will be completed by a CDTlicensed contractor and subcontractor. Construction activities are anticipated to begin in June 2026.
Environmental Considerations
The current action is not 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).)

Strategic Plan Integration
Not Applicable
Alternatives
The City Council may choose among the following alternatives:
1) Approve the recommended actions as stated above.

Claims Program, P.O. Box 989052 MS 414,
West Sacramento, CA 95798-9052. (Gov.
Code section 900, et seq).

5. Lessor shall maintain commercial general
liability insurance, including coverage for the
Premises, during the Term of this Lease, at
its own cost.
6. ACTS OF NATURE.
If any of CDT’s improvements or equipment
is destroyed by acts of nature, CDT may

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2026 ITEM # 7
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF REJECTION OF ALL BIDS FOR THE FIRE STATION 43
APPARATUS BAY INTERIOR AND BUILDING EXTERIOR PAINTING &
ENHANCEMENT AND APPARATUS BAY EPOXY FLOOR PROJECT
(CIP 51054 & 51057)
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Damir Arushanov, Project Manager I
Capital Projects Department
ATTACHMENT [X ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the City Council with sufficient information to reject all bids for 26- 006-ITB Fire Station 43 – Apparatus Bay Paint & Epoxy Flooring and Exterior Repaint. (CIP 51054 & 51057).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council reject all bids for 26-006-ITB Fire Station 43 – Apparatus Bay Paint & Epoxy Flooring and Exterior Repaint (CIP 51054 & 51057).
BACKGROUND
Fire Station 43, located at 1561 Harbor Boulevard in West Sacramento, requires interior and exterior improvements to maintain the facility’s functionality and appearance. The interior apparatus bays require surface preparation, repainting, and installation of a heavy-duty floor finish suitable for fire apparatus traffic. The exterior of the building and the CMU perimeter wall require repainting, and exterior wood components require dry rot repair and replacement as identified in a third-party inspection report.
On March 20, 2026, an Invitation to Bid (26-006-ITB) was released through the City’s OpenGov procurement portal for Fire Station 43 – Apparatus Bay Paint & Epoxy Flooring and Exterior Repaint, seeking proposals to perform this work. A mandatory pre-bid site meeting was held on March 27, 2026, and bids were publicly opened on April 27, 2026.
ANALYSIS
The Capital Projects Department conducted a competitive bidding process to select a construction contractor for the Fire Station 43 – Apparatus Bay Paint & Epoxy Flooring and Exterior Repaint. The bids received exceeded the funds allocated for the project. Additionally, certain bids contained irregularities and were determined to be non-responsive to the requirements set forth in the Contract Documents.
Irregularities included incomplete bid forms and deviations from required submittal documents.
Based on these findings, staff has determined that rejection of all bids is in the best interest of the City.
Staff intends to revise the project documents and solicit new bids in order to obtain competitive, responsive proposals within the available project budget. The revised scope will include three flooring alternatives — a heavy-duty resinous (epoxy) flooring system, a stained concrete finish, and a polished concrete finish — to provide pricing flexibility and support selection of the alternative that best meets the Fire station’s operational needs and budget.

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 in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)

N/A.
Alternatives
The City Council may decide to:
1) Approve the recommended action as described above;
2) Delay the recommended action and direct staff to return with alternative recommendations; or 3) Reject the recommended action or cancel the project.
Staff recommends Alternative 1 as the most effective and fiscally responsible approach for moving forward with the Fire Station 43 Apparatus Bay Interior and Building Exterior Painting & Enhancement and Apparatus Bay Epoxy Floor.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Capital Projects Department in coordination with the Finance Department, and City Attorney’s Office.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with the information needed to conduct the annual appointment of the members of the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District Public Financing Authority (EIFD PFA).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor, subject to approval of the City Council, conduct the annual nomination and appointment of the members of the EIFD PFA.
BACKGROUND
On November 16, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution 16-58 establishing the Public Financing Authority (PFA) as the governing board of the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD). The PFA membership is subject to compliance with the EIFD Law and Government Code section 54974 and consists of three members of the City Council and two members of the public. The PFA membership is subject to compliance with the requirements of Chapter 2.20 of the City’s Municipal Code, except that the membership term is one-year.
The three City Council members and two public members, Alex Hirsch and Micah Perez, were appointed to the EIFD PFA on August 21, 2024.
ANALYSIS
The three City Council members and public members, Alex Hirsch and Micah Perez, were appointed to the EIFD PFA on August 21, 2024. This year’s first EIFD PFA meeting will be scheduled for a day yet to be determined in June, and their one-year term has expired.
Staff recommends that the Mayor, subject to approval of the City Council, nominate and reappoint Alex Hirsch and Micah Perez to the EIFD PFA to continue as the public members. Approval at the June 3, 2026 City Council meeting would allow for their participation at the June meeting. To maintain consistency with the one-year term of the public members, staff also recommends that Mayor, subject to approval by the City Council, confirm the existing members or approve new appointments of three City Council members to the EIFD PFA.

The Mayor can decide not to move forward with making appointments at this time and may instruct the City Clerk to open the recruitment for two public members for a specific time period.

SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 26-60 CALLING AN ELECTION AND REQUESTING

ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this report is to call an election for the purpose of electing two council members, one for District 3 and one for District 4.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 26-60 calling an election and requesting that the Board of Supervisors permit the County Clerk to render specified services to the City relating to the conduct of a Municipal Election to be held on November 3, 2026 in consolidation with the General Election.
BACKGROUND
If the City wishes to have the County Clerk conduct the election, the Council must request the Board of Supervisors, by resolution, to consolidate the Municipal and General Elections and allow the County Clerk to conduct the election. The County Clerk has requested that the resolution requesting consolidation be received no later than June 9, 2026. The candidate filing period begins July 13, 2026.
ANALYSIS
The California Elections Code and Government Code specify certain requirements and options available to a City for the conduct of an election. The steps outlined in this report are required to allow the County Clerk to conduct the election for the City. Resolution 26-60 calls the election, specifies the offices to be filled, requests consolidation with the General Election on November 3, 2026 and outlines election services to be provided by the County Clerk to the City. The latter includes publication of required legal notices, ballot printing and mailing, absentee ballot distribution and receipt, precinct worker recruitment and training and election-day activities including vote tabulation. The resolution also states that each candidate is to pay $400 for the publication of the optional Candidate’s Statement. If the candidate chooses also to have the statement in Russian and/or Spanish, the candidate will be charged in full in accordance with fees established by Yolo County Elections. The word count for the statements is 400. The City Clerk is the filing officer for city council and mayoral candidate nomination papers, FPPC filings, as well as issues concerning any ballot measure. The City Clerk will also coordinate and oversee daily election activities within the City, including handling phone requests for polling locations and tracking tabulation of the votes after the polls close.

SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 3502.3 TO RECEIVE
A REPORT ON CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO VACANCIES, AND RECRUITMENT AND
RETENTION EFFORTS

[ ] Council [X ] Staff

OBJECTIVE
This item is a public hearing regarding the City of West Sacramento's workforce vacancies, and recruitment and retention efforts in compliance with Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2561 (Gov. Code § 3502.3).
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing and receive the informational report on City of West Sacramento Vacancies, and Recruitment and Retention Efforts Pursuant to Government Code Section 3502.3.
BACKGROUND
In September 2024, Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2561 was signed by the governor of California and went into effect on January 1, 2025. The legislation adds Government Code Section 3502.3 to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (“MMBA”), imposing new obligations on public agencies related to tracking and presenting information on job vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts, which shall be presented at a public hearing before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year.
AB 2561 requires public agencies to present the status of their vacancies in a public hearing before their governing body at least once per fiscal year. The presentation must be made prior to the adoption of a final budget for the fiscal year. This report must also address the recruitment and retention efforts currently employed by the public agency. During this presentation, the public agency is also required to identify any changes to policies, procedures, or recruitment activities that negatively impact the entity’s efforts to reduce its vacancies.
Additionally, if the number of vacancies exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized fulltime positions in a particular bargaining unit, the public agency shall include the following information in its presentation upon request of the recognized employee organization:
1. The total number of job vacancies within a bargaining unit.
2. The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit.
3. The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted.
4. Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions.
AB 2561 requires that recognized employee organizations shall be entitled to make a presentation before the governing board of a public agency during the same public hearing in which the public agency makes its annual presentation on vacancies.
AB 2561 further provides that the new law may not prevent an agency’s government board from holding additional public hearings about vacancies.
ANALYSIS
As of December 31, 2025, there were 505.55 permanent positions in the City of West Sacramento. Of those, 68 were vacant, indicating an overall Citywide vacancy rate of 13.45%, and 6.57% for represented positions.
Vacancies within each of the City’s recognized employee organizations are under 20% and provided below:

As of December 31, 2025, none of the City’s bargaining units had vacancy rates exceeding 20%, so this additional reporting is not required for this public hearing.
The City of West Sacramento has taken significant and proactive steps to modernize and strengthen its recruitment practices in order to attract a high-quality, diverse, and talented workforce. In response to ongoing labor market challenges and competitive hiring conditions, the City has implemented a range of initiatives designed to enhance visibility, improve efficiency, and promote equity in the hiring process.
Key recruitment initiatives include:
Expand NEOGOV Attract: The City launched the NEOGOV Attract module in 2025 to increase exposure of job postings and leverage advanced applicant tracking tools. This platform allows for more strategic outreach and analytics-driven recruitment.
Reduced Time to Hire: We have undertaken a comprehensive review and refinement of internal hiring workflows, resulting in a measurable reduction in time-to-hire for most classifications. This allows the City to respond more quickly to staffing needs and reduces the risk of losing qualified candidates to competing offers.
Blind Screening of Personally Identifiable Information (PII): To support unbiased candidate evaluation, the City has implemented blind screening processes that remove personal identifiers—such as names, addresses, and educational institutions—from initial application reviews. Enhanced Social Media Outreach: The City has expanded its digital presence by actively promoting job opportunities on multiple social media platforms. This effort has improved engagement with a broader and more diverse applicant pool.
Recognizing that competitive compensation and supportive work environments are key to retaining staff, the City has:
Negotiated and implemented multi-year collective bargaining agreements with all five represented employee groups. These agreements reflect the City's ongoing commitment to fair compensation, workplace stability, and collaborative labor relations. By securing multi-year contracts, the City has created a predictable and secure employment environment that enhances our ability to retain top talent across all departments. These agreements provide clarity and continuity for both management and employees, supporting long-term workforce planning and reinforcing the City’s reputation as an employer of choice in the region.
Invested in Employee Development: Encourage employees to attend professional training programs and resurrected the City leadership academy.
Promoted Work-Life Balance: Offer remote work options and flexible scheduling where operationally appropriate.
Focused on Engagement: Increased investment in employee recognition and wellness initiatives.
These efforts are continuously evaluated for effectiveness, with adjustments based on measurable outcomes and feedback.
All exclusively recognized bargaining units have been informed of the Citywide vacancy rate and vacancy rates for their respective organizations and notified of the public hearing with an opportunity to present input and feedback to the City Council on the vacancy rates of their bargaining units. 242

SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 26-42 CONFIRMING
THE DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT AND ORDERING IMPROVEMENTS (MAINTENANCE) TO BE MADE FOR THE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1 INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Becky Robertson, Finance Manager
Finance Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
State law provides for an annual proceeding prior to levying an ongoing assessment. The recommended action is a key step in this proceeding leading to placement of the levy for the Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 on the 2026-27 tax roll. Because staff is not proposing an increase in assessments, this action does not trigger voter approval under Proposition 218.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Approve the Landscaping & Lighting District No. 1 Report for 2026-2027 with budget and fee schedule; and
3. Adopt Resolution 26-42 confirming diagram and assessment, and ordering improvements (maintenance) to be made for the Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1.
BACKGROUND
Each year, the City levies assessments to pay for maintenance services and is required to take specific actions prior to transmitting the assessment to the Yolo County Assessor for inclusion on property owner tax bills.
The West Sacramento Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 (“the District”) provides street lighting and street landscaping maintenance services for property within the City of West Sacramento. It is divided into six benefit zones, which include the original district and subsequent annexations. Each zone is comprised of the group of parcels that enjoys similar degrees of benefit from the service covered by the zone. Each parcel within the various zones is assessed for its proportionate share of the cost of providing the service. The proportionate benefit and assessment is calculated in a benefit unit appropriate to the zone, depending on the type of service provided. The services provided and the unit of benefit for each zone in the district are shown below:
Benefit Zone Service Unit of Benefit Land Use Type
S1 Street Lighting Per Parcel Residential
S2 Street Lighting Front Footage Industrial
LS1 Street Lighting & Maintenance Front Footage Commercial L1 Maintenance Parcel Acreage Industrial
L2 Maintenance Per Parcel Residential
LSP2 Street Lighting & Maintenance Parcel Acreage Residential/Commercial Because each zone represents a different level of service and/or a different unit of benefit, each has a different assessment. Assessments are set each year by the City Council and are collected by Yolo County on the regular property tax bill.
On May 6, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 26-38, which: 1) initiated annual proceedings, 2) preliminarily accepted the Report for 2026-2027 and 3) set a public hearing for June 3, 2026.
ANALYSIS
The 1972 Act District was formed prior to enactment of Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”); an initiative approved by the voters in 1996 that imposed requirements on the manner in which local governments could raise taxes and assessments. For instance, any proposed increase in the rate for this District would be subject to super-majority approval by the voters pursuant to Prop 218. Hence, the City has chosen not to increase the rate for 2026-2027, 244 L&L District No. 1 Public Hearing Resolution 26-42
June 3, 2026
as has been the case in previous years. The total assessment can change from year to year based on changes in parcelization within the District, an assessment factor that is described below, but the rate remains the same.
The City of West Sacramento Landscaping and Street Lighting District No. 1 Report for 2026-2027 is included as an attachment to this report and is referenced in Resolution 26-42. The report describes the method of assessment, budget, and rate schedule for the District for 2026-2027.
There are two steps in determining the appropriate assessment:
1. Service costs must be allocated to each zone. Maintenance costs are allocated on a time and materials basis. Street lighting costs are allocated by the style of light and by the number of lights in each zone.
2. Zone costs are allocated to each property owner. On January 11, 1989, Council approved the following methods of allocation:
Residential Lighting & Maintenance - per parcel
Commercial Lighting & Maintenance - front footage
Industrial Maintenance - parcel area (acreage)
Industrial Lighting - front footage
Accordingly, the Report for 2026-2027 incorporates these two steps in determining the diagram and assessments for 2026-2027. It consists of three parts: (i) a narrative, (ii) a proposed budget, and (iii) a rate schedule.
The proposed budget for the District in 2026-2027 is $1,988,613. Because of the limitation on the ability to increase rates, budget increases for the District must also be offset by some amount of subsidy. The assessment for 2026-2027 is projected to generate revenues of $398,149. Therefore, the subsidy from the City’s Measure K and General Fund is projected to be $1,590,464.
On May 6, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 26-38 which preliminarily accepted the Report for 2026- 2027 and set a public hearing for June 3, 2026.
Environmental Considerations
Not applicable
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable
Strategic Plan Integration
The City has a Strategic Plan goal to achieve a Financially Sound City Government. Ongoing management of existing financing districts is a critical tool available to the Finance Department to achieve this goal.
Alternatives
There is no alternative to the proposed action. The deadline for submitting the levy to the County for inclusion on the 2026-2027 tax roll is August 10, 2026, and holding a public hearing is a requirement for submitting the levy.
Coordination and Review
Not applicable
Budget/Cost Impact
Assessments for services such as these support a higher level of service than can be supported by general taxes alone. In fiscal year 2026-2027, a projected contribution of $1,590,464 from the Measure K and General Fund is required to maintain this service.

CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO
LANDSCAPING AND STREET LIGHTING
DISTRICT #1
REPORT FOR 2026-2027
By
BECKY ROBERTSON
FINANCE MANAGER
248
2 INTRODUCTION
The West Sacramento Landscaping and Lighting District #1 (the “Assessment District”) provides street lighting and/or landscape maintenance construction and operation services for property within the City of West Sacramento. Previously these services were provided by the former East Yolo Community Services District and Yolo County, California, under the following assessment districts and service area:
Elkhorn Village Lighting District
Westfield Village Lighting Maintenance District
Oaks Lighting District
Arlington Oaks Lighting Maintenance District
West Capitol Avenue Landscaping Assessment District
Yolo County Service area #4 (portion including Touchstone CSA, & Port Center CSA) Port of Sacramento Industrial Park Landscaping Assessment District (proposed, not active in 1986-87)
In 1989, the Assessment District was amended by the City to provide an equitable assessment to each parcel for the landscaping and street lighting benefit. Several zones were consolidated so that parcels that were more or less similarly benefited were grouped together and assessed by the same method of apportionment. All zones were analyzed in terms of the current land uses and how they may affect the way parcels benefit, how the particular improvement benefits each parcel and how the parcel dimensions affect the way individual parcels may benefit. Later development in the northeast section of West Sacramento created a need for two new assessment areas, which were established in May 1989. The two new assessment areas added were the S-1 Residential Street Lighting Zones, and the S-2 Industrial Street Lighting Zones. Maps of the Assessment District zones are included as Exhibit “A”. It should be noted that the Assessment District was formed without an annual inflation escalator and, therefore, costs still reflect those included at the time of formation in 1989.
EXPLANATION OF ZONES
The West Sacramento Landscaping and Lighting District #1 is divided into six zones. Each zone is comprised of the group of parcels that enjoy similar degrees of benefit from the service covered by the zone. Each parcel within the various zones is assessed its proportionate share of the cost of providing the service. The proportionate benefit and assessment is calculated in a benefit unit appropriate to the zone depending on the type of service provided. The services provided and the unit of benefit for each zone in the district is shown below:
Zone Service Unit of Benefit Land Use Type
S1 Street Lighting Per Parcel Residential
S2 Street Lighting Front Footage Industrial
LS1 Street Lighting & Maintenance Front Footage Commercial L1 Maintenance Parcel Acreage Industrial
L2 Maintenance Per Parcel Residential
LSP2 Street Lighting & Maintenance Parcel Acreage Residential/ Commercial
249
3 METHODS OF APPORTIONMENT
As can be seen in the above table, there are many methods of benefit which can be used as a base of assessment. The units of benefit can vary from zone to zone due to the variety of land uses, parcel dimensions and benefits derived.
DESCRIPTION
Each zone is described in terms of the method of assessment used to assess the parcels in the zone. Previous reports determine which method of apportionment to be used.
These methods are briefly described as follows:
ZONE S1: The first zone is a street lighting zone located in the residential region of the City of West Sacramento. The parcels are more or less of similar size and the street lighting diagrams indicate the streetlights are dispersed rather evenly through the zone. The method of assessment is per parcel.
ZONE S2: Zone S2 is a street lighting zone in an industrial region. It is comprised of parcels of quite different dimensions and acreages. This variety of shapes and sizes indicates that the front footages of the parcels also vary proportionally. This zone is assessed by front footage.
ZONE LS1: The street lighting and maintenance Zone LS1 is a commercial zone of the City of West Sacramento in which all parcels benefited by the street lighting are also benefited by the landscaping. The zone is assessed on a front footage basis.
ZONE L1: This maintenance zone is located in the industrial region of the City. It is comprised of parcels of various dimensions and acreages. The method of assessment is parcel acreage.
ZONE L2: Zone L2 is a maintenance zone located in the residential regions of the City. Like Zone S1, the parcels are of uniform size and shape and are best assessed on a Per Parcel basis.
ZONE LSP2: This zone is located in the Washington Neighborhood/Raley's Landing area. This area receives street lighting and maintenance services.
The method of assessment is parcel acreage.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2026 ITEM # 13
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 26-43 CONFIRMING
THE DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT AND ORDERING IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE STORM DRAIN MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 (RALEY’S LANDING) INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Becky Robertson, Finance Manager
Finance Department
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
State law provides for an annual proceeding prior to levying an ongoing assessment. The recommended action is a key step in this proceeding leading to placement of the levy for the Storm Drain Maintenance District No. 1 on the 2026-2027 tax roll. Because staff is not proposing an increase in assessments, this action does not trigger voter approval under Proposition 218.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Approve the Storm Drain District No. 1 Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 with budget and fee schedule; and
3. Adopt Resolution 26-43 confirming the diagram and assessment and ordering improvements (maintenance) to be made for the Storm Drain Maintenance District No. 1.
BACKGROUND
All property inside the City is provided storm drainage services by one of three Reclamation Districts, including Reclamation Districts 900, and the Lighthouse Marina and Raley’s Landing storm drain maintenance districts.
Only one of these districts was formed under the 1937 Act, which includes approximately 79.66 acres within the “Raley's Landing” subarea of the Washington Neighborhood. The Raley’s Landing Storm Drain Maintenance District No. 1 (the District), has provided this service for many years via a special assessment district.
Storm drain facilities were first constructed in Raley’s Landing in 1964 to collect storm water runoff, convey it to a point adjacent to the Sacramento River levee, and pump it into the river. In 1989, the pumping facility was rebuilt as part of the Raley's Landing Assessment District and financed by the Raley’s Landing Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds (these bonds were completely repaid in December 2013). In order to pay for ongoing maintenance of the facilities, the City formed the District pursuant to Resolution 89-62. These assessments are continued on an annual basis in order to continue required maintenance. The assessments for this service are set each year by the City Council and are collected by Yolo County on the regular property tax bill.
On May 6, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 26-39 which: 1) initiated annual proceedings, 2) preliminarily accepted the Report for 2026-2027, and 3) set a public hearing for June 3, 2026.
ANALYSIS
The District was formed prior to the enactment of Proposition 218 (“Prop 218”), an initiative approved by voters in 1996 that imposed requirements on the manner in which local governments could raise taxes and assessments. For instance, any proposed increases in the rate for the District would be subject to approval by the voters pursuant to Prop 218, hence the City has chosen not to increase the rate for 2026-2027, as has been the case in previous years.
The City of West Sacramento Storm Drainage Maintenance District No. 1 Assessment Report for 2026-2027 is included as an attachment to this report and referenced in Resolution 26-43. The report describes the method of assessment, budget, and rate schedule for the District for 2026-2027.
The expected assessment revenue for 2026-2027 is $11,867.
Since this District has only one zone of benefit, total operating costs need only be allocated to each benefiting property owner on a fair and equitable basis. The nexus basis for the assessment is the benefit per acre within the District boundaries, a rate that is currently set at $144.11 per acre. 255 Resolution 26-43 Storm Drain Public Hearing
June 3, 2026
The Report for 2026-2027, showing the nexus between benefit and property assessment, consists of two parts:
(i) a narrative and (ii) a rate schedule.
On May 6, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution 26-39 which preliminarily accepted the Report for 2026- 2027 and set a public hearing for June 3, 2026.
Environmental Considerations
Not applicable
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable
Strategic Plan Integration
The City has a Strategic Plan goal to achieve a Financially Sound City Government. Ongoing management of existing financing districts is a critical tool available to the Finance Department to achieve that goal.
Alternatives
There is no alternative to the proposed action. The deadline for submitting the levy to the County for inclusion on the 2026-2027 tax roll is August 10, 2026, and holding a public hearing is a requirement for submitting the levy.

2 INTRODUCTION
Most property within the City limits is provided storm drainage services by one of the three Reclamation Districts. One exception is the approximately 85 acres in size storm drain maintenance area in the vicinity of what was formerly referred to as Raley's Landing, now encompassed within the Washington Neighborhood Area Plan. Since 1990, this area has been provided maintenance services via a special assessment district, Storm Drain Maintenance District No. 1 (“the District”). While additional storm drain maintenance districts were anticipated, no others were formed beyond this single district.
Facilities within the District were first constructed in 1964 as part of Reclamation District 811 (no longer in existence) to collect storm water runoff, convey it to a point adjacent to the Sacramento River levee and pump it into the river. In 1989, the pumping facility was rebuilt as part of the Raley's Landing Assessment District (also no longer in existence). These facilities are operated and maintained by the City of West Sacramento, using revenues collected under the procedures outlined below.
On May 10, 1989, the City Council adopted Resolution 89-62 which formed the District pursuant to the Storm Drain Maintenance District Act of 1937, or “the 1937 Act”. Each year, the City Council conducts a public hearing to hear objections to the placement of assessments on the next year’s tax roll. Following the public hearing, staff submits the tax levy to Yolo County and, and the County collects the assessment on the regular property tax bill.
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Parcel acreage assessment is best suited for storm drainage improvements. The improvements themselves are centrally located, but the benefits of the storm drain improvements are spread to all parcels included within the District. This benefit is outlined in the “Diagram of Assessment for Storm Drain Maintenance Area No. 1, a copy of which is on file with the City Clerk. The parcels themselves differ greatly in size and the Parcel acreage method of assessment address the fact that larger parcels will benefit more.
This takes into consideration the fact that the benefit is directly related to parcel size. The greater the parcel size, the more runoff occurs, the greater the assessment.
The parcel acreage can include only the portion of the parcel which falls within the boundaries of the watershed. A parcel which falls in more than one watershed will only be assessed for the acreage in this district.
Thus, the parcel acreage unit of benefit is based on parcel size. The total combined acreage of the parcels within a zone is divided by the cost of the assessment to determine a per-acre cost for the service. This amount is then multiplied by the number of acres or percentage of acre of each individual parcel to determine the amount to be assessed to each parcel. The larger the parcel, the larger the assessment will be.
